Episode 109
Episode 109
-Whooooooo!!!
The higher I climb the snowy mountain, the fiercer the blizzard becomes.
On top of that,
‘That’s…’
Ice Bear corpses I discovered while climbing.
There must be at least thirty of them.
Whatever attacked them,
judging by the messy stab wounds everywhere, the pelts are completely unusable.
‘They really wiped them all out.’
So that’s why there were no Ice Bears around.
I came here to blow off some steam after a while, and what’s this?
They’ve already killed them all.
So what am I supposed to do now?
‘What bastards did this…’
I headed toward the gray shadows with fire in my eyes.
‘I won’t let this slide.’
The moment I crossed the middle slope while gritting my teeth.
-Uooooooong!!!
A mournful cry, and
-Thwack!
-Thwock!
In complete contrast, the brutally violent sound of club strikes.
‘…I’m encountering White Orcs here?’
An unexpected scene unfolded before me.
-Thwock!
-Thwock thwock!
A White Orc squad of about twenty
was ganging up on a single Ice Bear.
The Ice Bear being beaten wasn’t running away but desperately fighting back,
‘…there’s a cub.’
It seemed like it wasn’t fleeing in order to protect its young.
Looking like it could fall at any moment,
a baby Ice Bear was cornered at the cliff edge.
The uooooooong! crying sound was coming from the baby Ice Bear.
-Crack!
-Smack!
The mother Ice Bear was doing her best to hold out, but
one of her eyeballs was already dangling loose,
her jawbone was shattered, and she was bleeding considerably.
-Kuooooooo!!!
Even so.
The mother Ice Bear kept swinging her front paws at the White Orcs.
-Swoosh!
Perhaps because the Ice Bear was holding out better than expected,
the White Orcs pulled out nets.
Unlike regular orcs,
White Orcs are much more intelligent.
Even now, that’s the case.
If it were an ordinary orc squad,
whether they died from the Ice Bear’s front paws or not,
they would have charged straight in swinging their clubs.
But the White Orc squad, far from charging,
stepped back and pulled out nets.
‘Are they planning to immobilize it with nets then kill it?’
However, a scene different from my expectations unfolded.
While the White Orcs at the front threatened the Ice Bear,
some of the White Orcs who had pulled out nets
went around back and climbed up the cliff.
“Huh?”
The White Orcs who climbed up the cliff
attacked the baby Ice Bear from behind.
-Swoosh!
The net captured the baby Ice Bear, and
-Uoooooooong!!!
the baby Ice Bear cried out.
-…!!
Only then did the mother Ice Bear turn around.
At that moment.
-Stab!
-Stab!!
White Orcs stabbed the Ice Bear’s back with spears that seemed made from sharpened monster teeth.
-Kuoooooooong!!!!
The mother Ice Bear’s agonized scream echoed across the snowy mountain.
-Uoooooooong!!!
So did the baby Ice Bear’s crying.
Even when trying to face the White Orcs again,
the mother Ice Bear couldn’t do so because of her cub’s cries.
-Thwack!
One White Orc who had gotten close was sent flying by a front paw she somehow managed to swing.
Then,
-Stab!!!
A White Orc immediately stabbed the baby Ice Bear.
-Kiiuoooooooong!!!
When the baby Ice Bear cried out,
the mother Ice Bear hesitated and backed away again.
-Stab!
-Stab stab!
The White Orcs didn’t miss that opening and kept stabbing the mother Ice Bear.
‘She’ll die soon.’
It seems I wasn’t the only one who thought so.
The mother Ice Bear must have had the same thought as me,
-…Kuooong!!!!
After a short roar,
she wrapped her entire body around the cub caught in the net.
-Stab!
-Stab!
-Thunk!
-Thunk!
The White Orcs stabbed at the Mother Ice Bear as if they had been waiting for this moment.
Even as she was pierced by the sharp spears,
the Mother Ice Bear didn’t budge and held the Baby Ice Bear in her embrace.
-Thuuunk!!!!
Until her white fur was dyed red and beyond.
-….
Had her breath stopped?
The Mother Ice Bear no longer moved at all.
-Wooooong!
-Woooooooong!!!
In the arms of its dead mother,
only the Baby Ice Bear cried until its throat was raw.
-Drag drag drag.
Regardless,
the White Orcs began tying up and dragging away the Mother Ice Bear’s corpse.
Perhaps it was the leader, as it was quite large even for an Ice Bear, making it difficult to move.
Meanwhile,
-Wooooooong!!!
the Baby Ice Bear wailed as it looked at its mother’s corpse.
Perhaps that annoyed them.
-Thwack!
One White Orc struck the Baby Ice Bear with a club.
-Woooong!!!
-Kekekekeke!!!
The White Orc burst into laughter as if the wailing was amusing.
It raised its club again.
And then,
-Whoosh!
Just as that club was about to strike the Baby Ice Bear’s head.
-Zzzzzt!
Echo Walker’s [Blink] movement.
-Slash!
I lightly severed its neck with [Sword of Calamity],
-Blink.
The White Orc’s head fell while blinking its eyes.
-…!
Thanks to the thick snow, it made no sound when it fell.
Now,
time for the next batter.
-Stab!
[Sword of Calamity] smoothly cut through the solar plexus of the White Orc pulling the net beside it.
Like stabbing tofu with chopsticks,
-Sluuurp.
it went in endlessly.
-Snap.
At the same time, critical hit judgment.
The [Guillotine] skill activated.
-Gack?!
As if invisible hands had grabbed the White Orc’s neck,
its neck began to crumple.
Then,
-Crack!!!
With the sound of the neck breaking,
-Thud!
the White Orc’s body collapsed.
“Oh.”
So this is how [Guillotine] works?
Convenient and nice.
“What, what is it?!”
“Who are you all of a sudden…!!!”
“We definitely killed all the other races?!”
The White Orcs were shocked seeing their dead comrades.
In a panic,
they each began drawing their weapons.
Then,
“…Huh?”
“Wait, isn’t that a human?”
Once they realized I was human,
the White Orcs suddenly relaxed.
“What…, was it the cub’s doing?”
They seemed to think the Baby Ice Bear had killed their comrades.
Stupid bastards.
Would an Ice Bear’s claws make heads fall off that cleanly?
They’d be torn apart, right?
“Looks like you wandered in by mistake?”
“Doesn’t matter. Kill him!”
Kekeke.
One White Orc stepped forward with their characteristic laughter.
Obviously,
it was the weakest one.
It was clear that the one who couldn’t contribute to the Ice Bear hunt was excited to at least kill a human.
“Ugh….”
Looking at the White Orcs’ bodies, so pathetically weak compared to Ice Bears,
I couldn’t help but sigh.
“This isn’t right….”
What I wanted to kill
wasn’t these flimsy White Orcs,
but tough-skinned Ice Bears!!
‘…I’m suddenly getting pissed?’
Come to think of it, that’s right.
No.
I came all the way into the Tower to relieve stress,
but there are no Ice Bears,
just a bunch of White Orcs?
From my perspective, this is a scam. A scam.
“Tsk….”
Still,
Still,
Those guys who could subjugate Ice Bears.
Will they be worth fighting?
I gripped the [Sword of Calamity] properly.
“Kekeke. That looks like a good item.”
“Huh? An orc with a good eye?”
“Just thinking about killing you and taking that weapon makes my insides tremble…”
-Puuuuk!!!
He said his insides were trembling.
So I stabbed him so they wouldn’t tremble anymore.
‘Hmm, this isn’t a vital spot so no critical hit.’
-Swish swish.
Can’t help it.
I roughly stirred the White Orc’s belly with the [Sword of Calamity].
-Swoosh!
Then pulled it right out.
-Splurt!!!
Intestines came pouring out from the torn belly skin.
“Pu, puheup!!!!”
“Still trembling?”
“Pukak…!”
As if trying to scoop up his intestines.
The White Orc flailed around then collapsed forward.
I knew this would happen.
“How annoying…”
An Ice Bear would have been more satisfying to stab.
It would have lasted longer too.
White Orcs just have slightly higher intelligence,
but they’re not as tough as Ice Bears.
“Move aside. I’ll handle this.”
A White Orc stepped forward holding a staff with a fairly large magic stone embedded in it.
“Aha, there was a shaman too?”
I heard there are orc shamans who use [Confusion] to tame beasts.
Did they hunt Ice Bears that way?
-Uuuuung…!
The magic stone began emitting an ominous light.
As I expected, it seems he’s using [Confusion].
But what to do.
-Whiiiii…
Thanks to the [Earring of the Quiet Eira Forest], things like [Confusion] don’t work on me.
“Done?”
“Wa, wait…!”
-Slash!
With one swing of the [Sword of Calamity],
the staff cut as softly as pudding.
-Thunk!
The large magic stone lost its light and fell onto the snowy field.
-Roll roll!
Along with the White Orc shaman’s head.
“Tsk.”
This is nothing.
It’s not even warm-up level.
“…Kill him!!!!”
“Kill him!!!”
Right.
Better to charge at me in a mob like that.
That’s less boring.
“Come on.”
I should at least break even.
* * *
“Sp, spare me…”
Lee Tae-pyeong looked down at the White Orc’s face with an expressionless look.
“Aha. So this is it?”
“…?”
“The difference between regular orcs and White Orcs.”
“Wha, what…?”
The White Orc trembled as he looked up at Lee Tae-pyeong.
“Regular orcs are too stupid, so they’ve never begged to be spared.”
“…!!”
“White Orcs are supposed to be smart, so you even know how to beg for your life?”
Hahaha.
Lee Tae-pyeong laughed as if amused.
The White Orc laughed along to appease Lee Tae-pyeong.
But the laughter only lasted briefly.
Lee Tae-pyeong looked at the White Orc with an expressionless face again.
‘This human is insane…!!!’
The moment their eyes met.
The White Orc realized.
That he too would die like his kinsmen.
So the White Orc desperately racked his brain.
“Sp, spare me! If you spare me, I’ll give you all my items and even the Ice Bears…”
“What are you talking about.”
“…”
“I can get those even if I kill you.”
“Huh, huk…”
“I’ll give you exactly 30 seconds, so think fast.”
“…!!!”
“25 seconds left.”
Tremble tremble tremble.
The White Orc, who had never trembled even in the bitter cold of the snowy mountains,
began trembling purely from fear.
“20 seconds.”
“Wa, wa, wa, wait!!”
The White Orc squeezed his eyes shut.
To survive,
the White Orc’s mind worked harder than ever before.
“10.”
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4…
At Lee Tae-pyeong’s eerie voice.
“3.”
The White Orc.
“2.”
In the end.
“1.”
Chose to betray its own kind.
“I’ll tell you how to get to the Demon’s Altar of the Snowy Mountain!!”
“Oh ho.”
Now you’re saying something useful.
Lee Tae-pyeong smiled as he met the White Orc’s eyes.
“Tell me more details.”
