My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 81

Episode 81. Land of Eternal Day (2)

Huff, huff.

I breathed roughly and let my arms drop limply.

My mouth had long been a mess with the disgusting mixture of blood and sweetness.

I raised my right hand that wouldn’t even lift properly and roughly wiped the blood splattered on my face.

“…I’m going to die.”

Without a word of a lie, I really feel like I’m going to die.

The orcs of Orishion were stronger than I had expected.

The orcs here don’t die unless you blow their heads off in one shot.

Even if slow, they regenerate and charge at you again.

So I had to attack a single orc at least once and at most three times.

But the number of orcs attacking didn’t give me that luxury.

So when I killed one orc, I’d allow one attack.

And when I dealt with that orc, I’d allow another attack – this pattern kept repeating.

“Even though they don’t die easily.”

If what I had faced weren’t ordinary orcs but mutants corrupted by magic.

Would I be able to think so leisurely like this now?

I quietly shook my head and let out a thin breath as I looked ahead.

“Still, I did gain something.”

What I gained from facing hundreds of orcs alone.

It was quite simple.

[Synchronization Rate 5.9%]

I had gained a massive amount of synchronization rate.

My synchronization rate had risen by 0.8% from a single battle.

My body was drooping from using up all my stamina and mana, but seeing the synchronization rate increase made me think it wasn’t a bad result.

As I looked at the system with satisfaction, I turned my gaze to the side.

There, Kargon was looking down at me, having approached without any presence.

“I watched your battle well.”

“Could you see from that far away?”

“My eyes are quite good, so I could see clearly.”

“Give me your review.”

“Strong, and good technique too. However, whether it’s lack of experience, I could see you taking attacks you could have avoided.”

“…”

He really observed accurately.

I clicked my tongue softly at Kargon’s words.

“So, what’s the reason for dumping the orcs on me?”

“Didn’t you say you’d follow me? I wanted to confirm whether you had the skills to protect yourself. However.”

However?

I tilted my head and looked at Kargon.

“Watching you makes me greedy for something.”

“What kind of greed?”

“The greed to make you into a warrior.”

Thud.

Kargon’s hand landed on my shoulder.

I tried to shake off the hand that gave me an ominous feeling.

‘Damn it.’

As if a cauldron had been placed on it, no matter how much I shook my shoulder, it showed no sign of coming off.

I looked up at Kargon with my lips trembling.

He gave me a thumbs up with his other hand and said.

“So from now on, you’ll handle all the orcs we encounter!”

“…”

“Real combat is the best way to fill in your lacking experience!”

Ah.

Ominous feelings are never wrong, are they?

I smiled weakly and plopped down on the ground.

[Remaining Time: 163.9 hours]

There was still plenty of time left.

* * *

My body was as heavy as waterlogged cotton, but there was no time to rest.

I reluctantly followed behind Kargon.

“Huff, huff.”

Enduring temperatures over 40 degrees while completely drained of strength.

Just hearing about it makes me feel repulsed, but actually doing it keeps blurring my vision.

Whenever I felt like I was about to collapse, Kargon would stop and give me a brief rest.

So I had to keep walking through the hot wasteland without even being able to collapse.

“There are orcs over there.”

“…Ha.”

Kargon pointed behind a huge rock with his finger.

There really was something with green skin sticking out from there.

They hadn’t discovered us yet, so we could easily deal with them with a surprise attack.

We could, but.

“Go fight.”

Kargon stomped his foot as if it was out of the question, creating a strong presence.

“Gruk?”

The orcs revealed themselves from behind the rock.

As soon as they spotted me and Kargon, they began charging with roars.

“I’ll be in the back, so try your best.”

“Ha, haha.”

I want to hit him.

I really want to punch him in the jaw.

‘But it seems like he’d endure even if I used Black Dragon.’

I had a strong feeling that if I actually did it, I’d be the one regretting it.

In the end, I had no choice but to swallow my tears and glare at the charging orcs while clenching my fists.

‘Four orcs.’

The number isn’t that many, but.

Variables exist unless it’s one-on-one.

Especially when the opponent is four, not two.

I lowered my body and lightly exploded mist beneath my feet as I leaped toward the lead orc.

The orc charging closest swung the club in its hand at the small human rushing toward it.

A club made of rock flying through the air.

‘I need to dodge.’

Before, I would have smashed the club with my fist.

But I could already faintly see another orc’s silhouette on the right.

While making the motion to smash it, another orc’s attack would come flying.

I crouched in mid-air to shift my center and kicked the air with all my might.

My trajectory changed with the exploding mist.

My body suddenly shot to the right.

Right after escaping the trajectory of the flying club, I crouched again and changed course, shooting toward the lead orc.

Its head was completely exposed after swinging the massive club as big as its torso.

I raised the corners of my mouth and extended my claws to tear apart the orc’s head.

“One.”

From then on, it was easy.

Using the fallen orc’s corpse as a foothold, I leaped up and blew off the head of the orc right next to it.

The remaining orcs, split left and right by the corpses of the two giant orcs, could be easily dealt with without worrying about variables.

“Ho, you absorb quickly.”

“Really?”

“As expected, you have the talent of a warrior.”

I clicked my tongue softly while listening to Kargon’s praise.

Surely I should feel good about the compliment, but somehow the more I hear it, the more frightening it feels.

Just how much more does he plan to work me with words like that.

I deactivated ‘Black Dragon’ and dusted off my wrists as I asked.

“So, when does night come?”

I frowned and looked up at the sky.

[Time remaining: 158.2 hours]

It was definitely 168 hours when I first started.

With 158.2 hours remaining now, roughly 10 hours had passed.

Yet somehow the sun floating in the sky showed no signs of setting.

As I was glaring at the still blazing sun, Kargon’s voice pierced my eardrums as if asking what I was talking about.

“Night doesn’t come to Berdine, you know?”

“…Huh?”

“Berdine is a land of eternal day. Night never comes.”

“…”

“If you want to sleep in Berdine, you have no choice but to find an oasis. Only there is a place where you can sleep safely in Berdine.”

Having said that much, Kargon suddenly stroked his chin and muttered.

“Come to think of it, it’s about time to sleep, isn’t it?”

“Right. I’ve already been wandering around here for 10 hours, you know?”

“Since we’ve dealt with many orcs while wandering around, it should be fine to rest. Let’s go to a nearby oasis.”

“…!”

I silently clenched my fist tightly.

Rest.

Finally, rest.

How long had it been since I felt this good.

Kargon chuckled at seeing me visibly brighten up.

“There happens to be an oasis I sensed on the way here. Let’s go that way.”

“Great!”

My body, which had felt like it weighed a thousand pounds just moments ago, now felt as light as a feather.

I followed behind Kargon with the lightest steps in the world.

How long did we walk like that.

After walking for about 30 minutes, we really arrived at an oasis.

The moment I stepped onto the green plants and felt the refreshing sensation, my strength completely drained and I collapsed flat on the ground.

“…Ah, I feel like I’m alive.”

My brain, which had been beaten to a pulp, finally found peace.

Kargon dragged my limp body deep into the oasis and asked.

“Do you need a meal?”

“No, it’s fine. I’m not hungry.”

In the Tower, you don’t get hungry and you don’t get sleepy.

Actually, not eating doesn’t cause any major problems.

‘I just eat and sleep all at once when I leave the Tower.’

So meals are fine.

But I felt like I needed to sleep to recover my tattered mental state.

“…Is that so?”

“Yeah. So I’ll just sleep for about 5 hours.”

If I sleep that much, I should recover about 80% if not 100%.

“You could rest longer.”

“No. This much is enough.”

“…I see. Then sleep without worry. I’ll always be by your side.”

Fighting orcs is really damn exhausting.

But I can feel myself getting stronger the more I fight, so I can’t refuse.

Moreover, if Kargon had moved from the start, all the orcs in the area would already be dead.

Right now he was kindly letting me fight orcs and training me.

‘If I received kindness, I should at least repay it minimally.’

Having come along reluctantly, I shouldn’t hold him up for long.

So I relaxed the strength in my heavy eyelids.

[Time remaining: 157.6 hours]

At the last moment, the time captured in my eyes recorded 157.6 hours.

* * *

Exactly 5 hours later.

I opened my eyes and sat up in a daze.

“Yawn.”

Just sleeping a little brought my condition back to normal.

I stretched long and got up from my spot, lightly loosening up my body.

“I feel alive.”

My body feels refreshed.

I smiled with satisfaction and muttered softly.

“This is what I like.”

When I’m in the Tower, my eyes automatically open at exactly the time I want.

I don’t know what principle it works on, but thanks to it I could sleep for exactly 5 hours and wake up.

As I continued loosening up my body, I heard footsteps from the opposite side of the oasis.

I raised my head and spotted Kargon holding a flopping fish.

“Oh. You’re awake?”

“I woke up after sleeping exactly 5 hours as promised.”

“I was going to let you keep sleeping. I guess there’s no need for that now.”

He clicked his tongue as if disappointed and lightly kicked off the ground to land in front of me.

“Still, I thought it would be better to fill your stomach, so I went and found some food like this. Here.”

“Thanks for thinking of me.”

“What, I was just bored guarding your side while you slept.”

Kargon replied like that and began gathering dry firewood from around the area, telling me to wait a moment.

I watched his back and turned my gaze.

Since I slept for exactly five hours, the remaining time should be…

[Time remaining: 155.2 hours]

Stop.

I stopped my actions and tilted my head at the strangeness.

It was definitely 157 hours before I fell asleep.

If 5 hours had passed from there, it should show 152 hours…

‘Why?’

The system was saying he had only guarded my side for two hours.

I narrowed my eyes and asked Kargon, who was lighting a fire with the gathered dry firewood.

“Did you go somewhere while I was sleeping?”

“No, I continuously guarded your side.”

“That’s what I mean….”

I trailed off and nodded my head.

‘He’s lying.’

The system and Kargon.

One of them is telling me a lie.

And the one most likely to do so is.

‘Kargon.’

It was Kargon, not the system.

Having successfully started a fire, he placed the entire brown fish over it and began roasting it.

I stared intently at him while muttering to myself.

‘Does he have a reason to lie to me?’

Someone so incredibly strong?

It just doesn’t make sense with my common understanding.

‘Maybe he went to deal with the remaining orcs?’

It might be a well-intentioned lie.

Anyway, I approached him while hiding my uneasy feelings.

“What kind of fish is this?”

“Moldy Fish. It’s a creature that digs tunnels at the lake bottom.”

“…Don’t tell me it’s a mole?”

“What’s that?”

Looking closely, it looks like a mole with fins and gills attached.

He wants me to eat this?

I really don’t want to, but Kargon was already holding out the fully cooked Moldy Fish to me.

Eventually taking the Moldy Fish, I squeezed my eyes shut and took a big bite.

“Ugh!”

“Haha! How is it? Quite thrilling, isn’t it?”

Naturally, the taste was nothing but an intense earthy smell.

It’s so thrilling it could make a person faint, seriously.
