My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 77

Episode 77. Green Giant

“…No, that’s not right.”

I shook my head and muttered.

Eliminate the Orc.

Looking at it this way, it seems like an incredibly easy condition.

But I’ve already experienced this once before.

“Squeak?”

There was a time when it told me to eliminate a slime, but when I looked closer, it turned out to be some strange snake.

Considering that, there was a high possibility that the Orc the system mentioned wasn’t an ordinary Orc either.

“So where exactly is this Orc supposed to be here?”

First, to confirm whether my hypothesis is correct or not, I need to find the Orc.

The problem is where to find an Orc in this place that’s colored brown all the way to the horizon.

“Well, what’s there to worry about?”

I can just ask for help, right?

Lightly shrugging my shoulders, I extended my right hand forward.

[Roster]

[Entity ‘Elpinire’ responds to your call.]

An elf emerging with the mist.

Elpinire, who walked out step by step through the mist, opened her closed eyes and looked around.

“This place… I can’t feel even a trace of greenery.”

As if somewhat displeased, deep wrinkles were carved between Elpinire’s brows as she walked out of the mist.

“I can’t feel even the slightest trace of life.”

“Is that so?”

“Master. What’s the reason you called me?”

“I was wondering if you could help me find an Orc here.”

“Orc? By Orc, you mean that thing with huge green skin?”

“That’s right.”

“So that’s the condition for clearing this floor of the Tower.”

I didn’t add any words.

But Elpinire had already grasped the entire situation and lightly stomped her foot…

“…Master. Perhaps I might be useless this time.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

“What do you think is the reason I can discover and follow even the faintest traces?”

Thud, thud.

Elpinire kicked the ground a couple times with her foot and asked me in a light voice.

I tilted my head at Elpinire’s question.

“Uh… I wonder?”

Come to think of it, I don’t know ‘how’ she follows traces.

I just thought she was a Forest Guardian and was good at following traces.

Elpinire, who bent one knee, grabbed a handful of the crumbling earth’s soil and let it flow between her fingers.

“I was able to follow traces by reading the mana, the life force remaining in the earth.”

The life force mana lingers in most places.

In soil, in weeds too.

Even in the delicate flowers on asphalt.

Traces of life remain everywhere, and Elpinire can react sensitively to those traces.

“I follow traces by borrowing the stories of plants remaining in the area based on those traces.”

Elpinire, who straightened her bent knee, looked around with sunken eyes.

“But this place doesn’t have any.”

Neither the mana that should remain in the earth.

Nor the plants that could offer help.

None of it exists.

Even the mana that should remain in the earth has withered and disappeared.

“This is the first time in my life I’ve seen such barren land.”

I can’t feel greenery anywhere.

“So you’re saying you can’t help this time?”

“Right. I’m sorry, Master. This is all my capability amounts to.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. How could a person be good at everything?”

I called you because I can’t do it either.

Adding that brief comment, I inevitably extended my hand forward again.

[Roster]

[Entity ‘Jini’ responds to your call.]

Softly.

As soon as the mist rose, a small girl popped out from within it.

Jini, wearing the black robe she wore in the Tower rather than the clothes she wore on Earth, grinned as soon as she spotted me.

“Did you call for me, Master?”

“Jini. Could you possibly release spirits to help find an Orc?”

“…An Orc?”

Jini blinked as if she had heard something she shouldn’t have heard and asked back.

I nodded toward Jini to indicate she had heard correctly.

“Why, why…?”

“Is the Orc an endangered species or something like that?”

Is it something I shouldn’t just hunt?

They’re overflowing on Earth, but this place might be different.

So please understand…

“N-no. It’s not that… it’s just better not to mess with Orcs.”

“Is there a reason?”

“I also heard this while running away, but I heard that long ago, one Orc destroyed and annihilated an entire kingdom in just one hour.”

“…Really?”

So Orcs are that powerful.

Then maybe the Orc in this place really is a different species from Earth’s Orcs, just as I expected.

“Still, it’s not like it can’t die, right?”

“I-I suppose so…?”

I survived even against the Dark Spirit King, who seemed absolutely unbeatable.

Of course, that was because someone named Miri, who I couldn’t understand at all, came and dealt with it instead.

Anyway, the fact that I survived isn’t a lie, right?

No matter how strong the Orc in the Tower is, I don’t think for a second that it would be stronger than Darkness.

“So Jini. Can you use spirits to find the Orc?”

“I’ll try.”

Jini nodded and spread dark mana on the ground, befitting a contractor of dark spirits.

I quietly watched Jini and then widened my eyes at the phenomenon that followed.

“Are spirits being created?”

From the mana spread on the ground, spirits without fixed forms like slimes are being created.

Red, blue, and fresh.

Spirits of various colors immediately gathered around Jini.

Jini calmly exhaled, sat with her knees together, and smiled brightly at the spirits.

“Everyone, may I ask you for one favor? I’d like you to find an Orc.”

Pop! Pop! Pop!

The spirits that bounced up all at once at Jini’s request instantly lost their form and scattered.

I asked Jini, who was getting up from her seat again with a nonchalant expression.

“What are you going to do now?”

“I asked my spirit friends to help us.”

“Is that possible?”

“Lower spirits don’t consume much mana when asked for help in a temporary contract state. If it were mid-level spirits, it would probably be impossible.”

So those were lower spirits.

I didn’t know because all the spirits I’d seen so far had some kind of form.

“Having a form is only possible from mid-level spirits onward. Lower spirit friends are still immature and can’t take on forms yet.”

“I see.”

“That’s why they’re divided into mid-level and lower level based on the stage where they can control their own form.”

This is another fact I’m learning for the first time.

I gaped at this newly acquired knowledge.

Unlike me, Jini whispered in a low voice with a somewhat subdued expression.

“That aside… I’m a bit surprised.”

“About what?”

“I thought I’d be able to call more spirit friends? But the number of spirits that responded was too few.”

The reason is probably what Elpinire said – strangely, there’s little mana in this place.

Jini looked around, saying it was surprising that such a place existed in Orishion.

“…Huh? If it’s an area with such low mana concentration, then surely…”

Jini muttered quietly as if she had realized something.

Just as her brow was about to furrow deeply as she retraced her memories.

“Master! Something’s coming!”

“What?”

Elpinire’s voice struck my eardrums.

Startled, Jini turned her head.

I also turned my head in the direction Elpinire was pointing.

There, a sky-blue spirit was bouncing toward us with all its might.

“What? It’s just a spirit.”

“No, look behind it!”

“Behind?”

Narrowing my eyes, I looked behind the approaching spirit.

There was…

“What is that thing.”

A green giant that looked easily 3 meters tall was advancing, shaking the ground.

The green giant was dripping sticky saliva between blade-like massive tusks.

It was chasing the fleeing spirit with unfocused eyes.

I asked Jini with a sense of disbelief.

“…Jini. Don’t tell me that’s an orc?”

“Probably… yes?”

“This is insane.”

How is that thing an orc?

It looks more vicious than the Orc Lord I saw before.

A hollow laugh escaped my lips.

What kind of world is Orishion anyway?

Still, one fact was the same as Earth.

“This much is manageable.”

The orc wasn’t an enemy capable of killing me.

Pulling up the corners of my mouth, I activated ‘Black Dragon’ and bent my knees.

“Master! Please be careful!”

“I know.”

Bang!

Smoke exploding from beneath my feet.

My body shot forward like an arrow from the recoil.

Cutting through the wind, I clenched my fist and threw it violently.

[Mist – Rampage]

Boom!

Dust rising with a thunderous roar.

The power was considerable enough to stop my shooting body.

It should be dead with this much.

“Ugh!?”

Whoosh.

A hand as massive as a log burst through the rising dust.

The hand, covered in muscle without any fat, roughly grabbed my leg and slammed me toward the ground.

“Kugh-.”

The ground shattered.

My body bounced up.

Spitting blood from my mouth, I looked at the owner of the hand gripping my leg with a distorted face.

“…How are you still moving?”

Half of its body had been blown away.

A third of its upper body including the left arm had been torn off.

But the orc was glaring at me with eerie eyes without shedding a drop of blood.

“Kuooooooo!”

A battle cry echoed.

Its body regenerated instantly.

The orc, having regenerated its blown-away upper body and arm, threw a punch at me.

I hastily raised my right arm to block the incoming punch.

‘It’s not powerful enough to shatter my right arm.’

After spinning once in the air, I landed stably on the ground and dusted off my right arm.

The right arm that blocked the attack was fine.

In other words, it had tremendous durability but its power was lacking compared to its toughness.

“I was a bit flustered by the unexpected situation, but this is doable.”

Ptui.

Spitting out the blood pooled in my mouth, I clenched my fist again.

If it doesn’t die in one hit, I’ll finish it in two.

Now that I know, the same mistake won’t happen again.

Above all.

“Jini! Send me to Master!”

“Yes!”

I’m not alone.

A green flash passed over my head.

With Jini’s help, Elpinire shot forward even faster, her foot aimed at the orc.

The orc tried to raise its arms to block Elpinire’s attack, but instead the orc’s arms scattered into pieces of flesh.

“Master!”

“I know.”

Elpinire created an opening.

Then I should take advantage of it, shouldn’t I?

I dove into the orc’s embrace before it could regenerate its blown-up right arm.

The orc raised its left hand to stop me, but I raised my right hand faster.

Black mist compressed in my right hand.

[Mist – Rampage]

You endured it before, didn’t you?

Let’s see if you can endure even now.

With the corners of my mouth curled up, I threw a punch at close range without even caring that the explosion’s aftermath was sweeping back over my body.

Thud!

The massive explosion’s impact engulfs my body.

My vision blurred for a moment from the excruciating pain as if my organs were convulsing, but it doesn’t matter.

I don’t care.

My attention is solely focused on the orc that’s still standing on two feet.

[Smoke Haze – Rampage]

Boom!

Once again, a massive explosion strikes my body.

My arm feels like it’s being torn apart, and I feel pain as if my ribs are broken.

Dark, dead blood flowing from my mouth.

The moment I steadied my stance to swing my fist once more, my retina captured the orc’s form completely.

“…Why is its lower half about the size of my height?”

The creature was swaying precariously with its upper body gone.

Only then did I realize that the creature had already met its end from my first attack.

Wiping the blood from my chin with the back of my hand, I lightly swung my foot and kicked the orc’s lower half.

Then the precariously swaying lower half lost its strength and crashed to the ground.

‘Did the synchronization rate not increase?’

That’s a bit disappointing.

Clicking my tongue softly, I put aside my disappointment and looked at the System Message.

[2nd Floor]

[Eliminate Orc]

[Incomplete]

Thud.

My thoughts freeze.

The orc is definitely dead.

Right now at my feet, it has stopped breathing and become a cold corpse.

But why.

“Why is it incomplete?”

Something’s wrong here.

I definitely killed the orc, didn’t I?

I looked at the system with desperate eyes.

But the system still didn’t correct the part that read ‘Incomplete’.

“…Come to think of it, haven’t these types of conditions always had separate indicators showing how many need to be eliminated?”

Right now there’s only the ‘Incomplete’ item without anything like that.

Which means.

“Don’t tell me it wasn’t just about killing one orc…?”

Trailing off my words, I turned my gaze with trembling eyes.

There was.

“Uh… Master. Something seems wrong about this?”

“Hi, hiiek!?”

What looked to be easily hundreds of orcs were advancing toward this place.
