My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 5

Episode 5. The Appearance of C-Rank Monsters

The woman, who had been opening and closing her mouth several times, finally seemed to come to her senses and slammed her head to the ground toward me.

“Th-thank you! Thanks to you, I’m alive!”

“…Are you alright?”

“*sob* Yes!”

She must have thought she was going to die to that Orc for sure.

The woman was crying pitifully.

So much so that her pronunciation was completely garbled.

The woman who lifted her head while sniffling wiped away her tears with her hands that were scraped up and covered in blood.

I turned my gaze away from her and looked at the Orc that only had its lower half remaining.

This place is an F-Rank Gate.

It’s a space where Orcs, which are C-rank monsters, shouldn’t appear.

But it appeared.

I stroked my chin and asked the woman.

“That aside, an Orc… where did you encounter it?”

“I-I don’t know. I just kept walking into the forest… and suddenly there was a commotion.”

“And then?”

“I-I was curious so I went to look… but there were several Orcs standing there.”

Several Orcs?

My eyes widened at the woman’s words.

The woman continued speaking while trembling finely, as if just remembering was frightening.

“So I ran away immediately… but unfortunately there was an Orc in the direction I was fleeing. What happened next was…”

“What’s happening now.”

Nod.

The woman nodded silently.

She ran hard, but as an F-rank Hunter, she couldn’t shake off the Orc and almost died, which I saved her from.

That would be the gist of this story.

“Hmm.”

I stroked my chin and looked in the direction the woman had fled from.

Orcs…

I’m suddenly curious.

Orcs are C-rank monsters.

They’re supposedly much stronger than Goblins.

“Even Orcs can’t withstand the Black Dragon’s power.”

Aren’t they weaker than I thought?

I thought that with C-rank monsters, I might not have to worry about the compatibility rate.

But even an Orc, the representative of C-rank monsters, exploded in one hit.

At this rate, even if I become a C-rank Hunter, the compatibility rate might not increase.

‘I need to experiment a little.’

I loosened my neck lightly and glanced at the woman.

“Do you need support?”

“Huh? Oh, no!”

“Then please go back on your own. I think I need to go check out those Orcs.”

If the compatibility rate doesn’t increase even against C-rank monsters, then it’s really an emergency.

It would mean I can’t satisfy the ‘Black Dragon’.

So this needs to be confirmed.

Therefore, I left the frozen woman behind and headed in the direction she had fled from.

“Th-there seemed to be a really huge Orc there too…”

Without hearing the woman’s belated muttering voice.

* * *

The Orc had left quite thick traces while chasing the woman.

Thanks to that, heading to where the Orcs were wasn’t too difficult.

As I advanced while maintaining my skill, I glanced to the side.

“Can… you hear me?”

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld asks what you’re talking about.]

My goodness.

It really can hear me.

Then did it also hear what I said at home yesterday?

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld answers that it heard.]

Oh.

I pressed my lips tightly together in a straight line.

No, why are you listening and making a fuss about it?

Weren’t you never going to talk to me again?

Cold sweat flows from my forehead like rain.

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld snorts while looking at your frightened state.]

Right.

If I can communicate with the ‘Black Dragon’, it might be okay to ask.

I swallowed dry saliva and clenched my fist tightly as I asked the ‘Black Dragon’.

“…When the compatibility rate increases, aren’t you going to take over my body?”

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld says to think whatever you want.]

Tsk.

It won’t tell me after all.

I clicked my tongue softly and took a calm deep breath as I looked at the ‘Black Dragon’.

‘…Is it better than I thought?’

Maybe it’s because I was overwhelmed when I met it in the Tutorial Tower.

From our brief conversation, I got the feeling that it might be more friendly toward me than I thought.

As I continued forward while carefully reading the situation, I cleared the distracting thoughts from my head as the traces disappeared.

‘The traces have disappeared.’

That would mean I encountered the Orc somewhere around here.

I touched the ground and looked around.

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld answers that there’s something to the right.]

“…”

To the right.

I already knew that too.

Something ominous is emanating from the right side.

I got up from my spot and headed to the right.

* * *

A place blocked by towering cliffs as if announcing the end of the Gate.

There, a rocky mountain made of stone was situated.

Stopping there, I looked at the giant green giant in the distance.

A being holding a stone hammer in its hands and wearing a bone necklace around its neck.

“It doesn’t seem to be an ordinary Orc.”

Both its eyes and the aura it gives off are far from ‘ordinary’.

Compared to the other Orcs around it, that is.

Giant tusks and a build that seems twice the size of an Orc.

Unlike the other bald Orcs, it even has a single strand of black hair braided long.

Everything is different from ordinary Orcs.

It set down the hammer as big as a torso that it was holding onto the ground and growled lowly.

“Kuuuu…”

Thump, thump.

At his cry, countless orcs scattered around the area began to gather.

At that fact, I squeezed my eyes tightly shut.

“Why is there an Orc Lord here.”

Orc Lord.

The sovereign of orcs, and a being said to wield the power of the Ground using mana.

Therefore, unlike C-rank orcs.

“B-rank monster….”

A being evaluated as B-rank.

That existence was now staring at me with bright yellow eyes.

I tensed up and clenched my fists.

“Ha, damn it.”

I came here for nothing.

I should have just left the gate and reported that orcs had appeared.

I guess the saying that curiosity kills people isn’t just empty words.

I calmly regulated my breathing while looking at the Orc Lord.

The creature had set down its hammer and was quietly regulating its breath.

It was staring solely at me with bright yellow eyes, in a way that would accept no excuses.

B-rank monster.

A being that an F-rank Hunter who just emerged from the Tower couldn’t even scratch.

Running away was virtually impossible.

So I had to fight.

I should be nervous.

That would be normal.

But.

“…Why am I not nervous?”

I wasn’t nervous at all.

It’s a B-rank monster.

A creature evaluated as impossible to defeat even with a hundred F-rank Hunters.

A being that someone like me, who emerged from the Tutorial Tower just one day ago, couldn’t possibly face.

But I didn’t feel that way at all.

‘Is it because of the Guardian I met in the Tower?’

Anyway, even if it doesn’t feel threatening, I shouldn’t let my guard down.

The title of B-rank monster wasn’t earned for nothing.

The numerical disadvantage was clearly against me, but only the thought that this was manageable settled in my head.

I calmly exhaled and took a step forward while looking around.

Orcs holding stone axes and hammers.

And the Orc Lord at the very back, staring at me.

“Come on.”

I’ll send you all to the twisted Underworld.

Muttering quietly, I took a deep breath and lifted the corners of my mouth.

Perhaps that was the signal.

“Kuooooo!”

“Squeak!”

“Squeak!”

The orcs scattered around began charging at me all at once.

Orcs rushing from all directions.

I had no intention of just standing still either.

I exhaled the breath I had taken in one go and kicked off the ground.

[Black Dragon – Smoke]

Thoom- Kwang!

A punch shot forth along with rising mist.

With a single punch, compressed air split the Ground.

Immediately after, having withdrawn my thrown punch, I extended my right hand to the left.

“Kruk!?”

Through the swirling dust, an axe thrown by an orc came flying.

I extended my right hand and easily blocked it, then firmly twisted and grabbed the stone axe before throwing it back.

“I’ll return this kind of gift.”

Whirrrr- Thwack!

The stone axe, spinning at tremendous speed, returned to its owner’s head.

Without even confirming the sight of the orc collapsing while spraying red blood, I turned my gaze forward and immediately kicked off the ground, throwing my body backward.

“Whew.”

Thump!

A hammer struck down where I had been standing just moments before.

That was close.

If I had been even a little slower, I would have been crushed.

‘This is definitely manageable.’

Just now, I might have died if I had made a mistake.

Even so, I could only think that this was manageable.

Right after avoiding the hammer, I immediately struck down at the hammer’s handle with my fist.

The hammer handle shattered with a cracking sound.

Having sent the orc, who had suddenly lost its weapon, to become nutrients for the earth with a light punch, I picked up the remaining hammer head and threw it high into the sky.

The stone mass floated up briefly before falling down due to its heavy weight.

The moment it came down to my eye level.

I relaxed the strength in my hand appropriately and threw a punch forward.

My fist hit the side of the hammer.

The hammer couldn’t withstand the force contained in my punch and shattered into pieces, but.

‘I was actually aiming for this.’

Pububububuk!

Fragments spreading in all directions like a shotgun.

The orcs around me all became meat shields for the fragments, becoming so mangled they were hard to recognize as orcs.

With this, I didn’t need to worry about the orcs in front.

They had all been hit by hammer fragments and turned into red paste.

True to their stubborn orc nature, their speed didn’t slow down despite their comrades’ deaths, but there was nothing they could do about being slowed down by the corpses scattered on the ground.

Therefore, I turned my body to the left and drove my fist into the ground.

“Kuo?”

Rummmble.

The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Soon, when my hand was lifted up, a fragment of torn ground was held in my right hand.

What works well should be used again.

I wore a crooked smile as I threw the rock into the air again.

And this time too, the moment the rock reached eye level, I swung my fist.

The fragments that burst out like that.

“Ku-.”

Completely annihilated all the orcs that had been coming from the side.

The Ground instantly stained with blood.

Standing on it, I leisurely turned my head.

“….”

The orcs had stopped in their tracks.

In their bright yellow eyes was fear and terror born from an overwhelming difference in power.

A terror as if looking upon an incomprehensible, unfathomable existence.

Even the stupidest orc was smart enough to realize that charging forward would mean a dog’s death.

And so, finally, the orcs understood.

Who the ‘prey’ was in this situation.

“Ku, kuooo!”

One orc dropped its weapon to the ground and turned around.

Just one.

One out of the dozens of orcs remaining.

But fear is contagious.

Starting with that single orc, all the orcs present began to scatter in terror and flee.

I looked at the Orc Lord still standing firm behind the orcs dispersing in perfect order.

“….”

The Orc Lord who had maintained silence even when the orcs were swept away by the fragments.

Continuing to keep silent, he suddenly snatched the head of an orc that was fleeing past him in terror.

“Kuuk.”

“Kr, kruk….”

Crack, crunch.

The sound of something breaking coming from the caught orc’s head.

Blood vessels began to bulge on the Orc Lord’s log-thick arms.

Soon, the caught orc’s head burst, and it went limp powerlessly.

“Kuk.”

Thud.

He casually threw the lifeless chunk of meat toward the fleeing orcs.

At that moment, all the moving orcs froze as if under a spell.

An existence that quelled all the orcs’ chaos with a single action.

The Orc Lord shouldered his lowered hammer and opened his massive mouth wide.

“GROOOOOOOO!”

Screech-!

My ears cry out in pain from hearing the roar.

Frowning at the tinnitus in my ears, I stepped back and stared at the Orc Lord.

“Kuuuu….”

The Orc Lord began scattering bright yellow malevolent energy from his eyes.

Here it comes.

“Finally making a move.”

In that case.

“First strike wins.”

The one who strikes first wins.

With a smile, I kicked off the ground hard and charged toward the Orc Lord.
