Chapter 20: To survive
Uahahaha! It feels so good!
Valkrun, who had blocked Ivans spear with an axe, was pushed back three steps. His body was numb at the sharp, heavy, and exhilarating attack at the same time.
As soon as he was pushed and his posture was disturbed, the spell the wizard had memorized was activated, and a chain made of magical power appeared and grabbed his leg and tied it up.
Meanwhile, Billy intervened and cut Valkruns thigh. Billys sword swung past, blood splashed and wound opened wide.
Huu, If I do this, he cant move proper
How trivial, Im not interested in you.
Tuk!
Tuduk!
As Valkrun began to put more strength, the magical chains that bound him exploded. Even if a bull pulled it, it would have been fine, but he was breaking it off too easily.
bang!
The axe of Valkrun, who was released from restraint at once, struck Billy. He smashed the small shield, even split his armor, and blew him away.
Fortunately, Billys body was not cut off, but his arm was bent in a strange direction and blood was gushing out.
puck!
Ugh!
He hit the fortress wall and rolled on the ground, but it was a serious injury to everyone. Billy might not be the best, but when he was incapacitated with just one shot, everyones expression hardened with tension.
[Shield Charge!]
[Blade wind!]
[Mountain pressure!]
[Moonlight Charm!]
Valkrun focused on organizing his surroundings without caring about the attacks that hit him. Even if his back was split, his legs cut, and his chest torn, he prioritized getting rid of those who attacked him. As Valkrun gave up his defense and rushed in, the others could not hold out.
Three had already fallen out of battle, and the rest of them also fell out in an instant and unconscious.
As the knights and mercenaries who had to stand in front of him collapsed like that, the wizard could not use all his power.
Pusyuk!
Cururu!
So all his companions fell, and Ivan, left alone, narrowed his eyes as he retrieved his spear.
What are you up to?
There was definitely a feeling in the hand. He penetrated his shoulder and bleeding, but somehow he felt very uncomfortable.
What was the reason for organizing your surroundings until you suffered such a serious injury? Does that mean you can still beat me with that condition?
Huh, now Im starting to feel like fighting. Human warrior.
Valkrun, with fatal wounds all over his body, was dripping with blood, but he spoke with a relaxed expression on his face.
Can you fight with that body? I think it will be over soon.
While saying that, Ivan glanced around. Enemies came rushing in to save Valkrun, and soldiers and knights were desperately blocking them.
If I go to a long game, I will definitely win, but looking at the circumstances around me, I couldnt. It was dangerous to drag on any longer.
Where are you looking!
Valkrun shouted and swung his axe. Ivan was convinced as he blocked it off. It was definitely weaker than before. He is also very tired.
Huh, those eyes. I dont like it.
At that moment, Valkruns eyes turned red. The muscles all over his body twitched, and red smoke flowed out. The wounds on his body healed quickly.
Ivan frowned.
Berserk? He was a Berserker.
A typical technique of a Berserker that recovers lost stamina at once and greatly increases attack power and defense.
It has the disadvantage of being greatly weakened after a short period of time, but it cannot be said that it is a disadvantage now since we cannot go to a long-term battle in the first place.
Shoo!
bang!
Once again, the two collided. Throbbing wrists.
The guy who was about to collapse from exhaustion was running rampantly stronger than before.
Crackle!
Lightning struck his body, but unlike before, there was no sign of flinching. In berserk state, the resistance is greatly increased.
bang!
smack!
When he hit the axe, part of the wall was broken. Truly a destructive force. It was impossible to win by confronting him with force from the front.
Ivan fell behind when comparing purely his capabilities as a warrior.
They are probably similar to each other in terms of level. It was the difference between Valkrun, who grew up to loyal with only one skill, and Ivan, who was raising various skill trees at the same time.
If so, borrow the strengths and external powers of Ivan.
Thor!
As Ivan shouted loudly, strength surged from the depths of his body. Perhaps he was excited about the fight of the warriors that worth seeing, the power of Ivans body was quite intense.
Squeak!
Ivans spear pierced through Valkruns body. He saw blood through the hardened leather, but the wound disappeared with smoke. Apparently, the wounds continued to recover during the berserk time.
In the game, it was a funny thing but now that its a reality, its truly horrifying. )
More! More! More! Thats not enough!
As if he was literally losing his sanity, the guys movements became a little rougher. But at the same time, the guys attack became more intense, and it was not easy to penetrate it easily.
I will offer your neck to Tarkan!
Baba Bak!
A red aura erupted from the ax he was wielding while calling out the name of the orc god Tarkan. The soldiers were damaged and collapsed by the attack of the guy who swept through the surroundings. It seemed that he could no longer prevent external intervention.
Damn Thor, are you so sloppy on this thundering day?
Is he really playing two jobs as Orc god Tarcan? Is that why Im being pushed back?
As Ivan said that to himself, a great lightning bolt fell from the sky. It felt like he was angry at his nonsense.
flash!
Whoops, bang!
Lightning struck Valkruns body. The guys body staggered as if he couldnt stand it.
Psyuk!
Aiming for that gap, Ivan took a proper shot.
The spear pierced the guys lower abdomen and was stuck.
Crackle!
White lightning rode through Ivans spear and burned his intestines. No matter how much resistance you increase, you wont be able to stop hitting if it hits the intestines directly.
Ugh!
Valkruns eyes burned brightly as he chewed and swallowed the excruciating pain that turned his internal organs into a mess.
I am the son of Great Orc Lord Karthak! I am Valkrun!
He grabbed the spear that pierced his stomach with one hand and lowered his ax to slash. Ivans head, who could not retrieve the spear, fall back as if it was about to split.
Then the air ripped open and something appeared in Ivans hand. Combat Magic Scroll. The dirtyly expensive one that he bought with tears at the Blue Magic Tower.
Ivan tore two scrolls at once. Then the magic inside it was activated immediately.
Whoosh!
The soft light became a protective shield and embraced Ivans body. Although it was shattered in an instant by Valkruns axe, it was enough for Ivan to retreat back by creating a momentary gap.
And the second magic. A fireball exploded from a close distance with a powerful shock wave.
Whoops!
bang!
Valkruns body burned in an instant. The rain that was pouring was evaporated by the hot heat and obscuring the view. The flames burning through magic did not go out even in the midst of heavy rain.
Sliips!
Ivan reached out his hand, leaping across the space, and the spear caught again. The spear that heated up in that short time was quite hot.
squeak!
Holding on to the heated spear Ivan took a stance.
The target is the heart of Valkrun. The very place that will take his life at once.
[Thunder step!]
[Piercing the Sky!]
Shoo!
Push!
A spear was shot and pierced the burning mans chest. The sensation of piercing his heart is clearly felt in his fingertips.
slurp
Blood dripped down the spear. Life pours in and death flows in.
His body fell to the floor without screaming.
flop!
Thor, I sent you a pig. Eat it as much as you like.
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, its a delicacy.
At the same time Ivan muttered inwardly, a message of completion of the quest popped up.
Tring!
[Quest: Boss Hunt (Completed)]
[Reward: A large amount of experience, Thunder Gods satisfaction, 13 gold, 83 silver]
Im glad you were satisfied.
To be honest, I was very tired. His legs were shaking and he felt like he was about to collapsed, but Ivan stood up with the spear as his cane.
Even when standing still, the enemies did not attack anyone. Thats because Ivans momentum was bold.
Whoops!
swish!
When I sent the charred and fallen corpse of Valkrun with a spear to them, they did not attack, although their eyes were red with fear and anger.
Rather, they bowed their heads briefly, thanking him, and gathered themselves around Valkruns corpse and disappeared.
boo! Boo woo woo!
Soon a horn was heard and the orcs began to retreat. The enemys forces were still strong, but the life of the most powerful warrior, the son of Orc Lord Kartak, was lost, so they seemed to have decided to retreat.
Hey, why did you return that body?
A soldier whose eyes burned with anger and vengeance asked so.
He was a soldier to lure Valkrun here, and at the same time, a soldier to block the enemys support. He must have lost a lot of his colleagues because of that one guy.
You should have ripped that bastard off his limbs and hung his neck on a pole at the gates!
Ivan just nodded his head at the cry of the soldier with resentment.
Yeah, I could have done that.
But if he did, the orcs who turned to their revengeful eyes would have pushed through to the end. Then more soldiers would have died. It would be difficult to defend the fortress.
It would have been best to have the body recovered and returned. At least Ivan thought so.
Of course, the Orc Lord, who checked his sons body, could be furious and push in, but hell, others will take care of that.
Ivans job was to kill Valkrun and buy time for more troops to arrive. What happened after that was not his problem.
Ivan slumped over the fragments of the broken wall. As he cleared his heavy breathing, a full energy welled up from within and calmed his body.
The level of experience that had been filled was increased by one. He was only a little bit stronger and his mana increased.
Watching the wounds heal little by little due to the effect of leveling up, Billy appeared next to him, spitting a swear word.
Arent you dead yet?
I almost died.
He drank the healing potion like water. It looked like he was wearing a sloppy look with a frown on his face.
Billy murmured as he looked down at his broken arm in his mess.
Damn it, I almost become one-armed idiot.
Its not something you should say here.
Ivan glanced back. Because there was a knight whose arm had just been cut off in battle.
Oh, well. Hes a wealthy nobleman, so hell take care of it, do I need to be concerned? By now, the priest must be holding the severed arm.
The others?
The mercenary kicked by him at first is already dead, and the rest of them somehow survived. The nobleman with a severed arm is there, and the wizard was evacuated because his injuries were severe.
There is one knight with a broken pelvis, well. Isnt that unavoidable damage?
You did a good job piercing an orc cub, damn it.
Valkrun was clearly on the weak side among the Named. Extras that arent even mentioned in the game.
Still, it was enough to get tired.
I have to be stronger. To survive.
Ivan turned his head and looked around. Soldiers lying here and there, their corpses. Blood and death.
I have a long way to go.
The battle is over.
It was the beginning of the war.
