My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 85

Episode 85. Pig of Eternal Life (2)

Elpinire, who had dealt with the last falling orc, landed gracefully beside me and caught her breath.

“I followed your orders as my master, but what the hell do you mean by protecting orcs while killing orcs?”

“Well… it’s a long story. There was an orc among them that could speak.”

“…It can speak?”

“Take a look down there.”

I said this while pointing my finger below the spider web.

There, Jini was sweating profusely while trying to comfort the terrified Karnack.

“M-Master…! Please help me…!”

Since this was her first time comforting someone, Jini’s desperate voice could be heard as she struggled to find her bearings.

Elpinire looked at Karnack, who was sitting down and hiccupping, and her jaw dropped at the fact that an orc possessed intelligence.

“How can a monster have intelligence…?”

“There’s also Cheo-ri.”

“…That makes sense.”

Having refuted Elpinire’s shock with a single sentence, I lightly waved my hand.

Then the spider webs filling the ravine began to break one by one and soon snapped completely.

Of course, I wrapped the remaining orc corpses with the leftover spider webs and piled them all up in one place.

“…This is more serious than I thought.”

I wasn’t talking about Karnack’s condition.

I meant the situation at the bottom of the ravine was serious.

“We can’t stay here any longer.”

Not only were orc corpses piled up everywhere, but a red river had formed on the previously dry ravine floor.

Both emotionally and hygienically, it seemed difficult to stay here any longer.

“Karnack, look at me.”

“Sniff… Yes.”

“Kargon told me he was entrusting you to me before he left.”

“Really…?”

I nodded and lifted the crying Karnack with one hand.

“You trust Kargon, right?”

“Yes, I trust him.”

“Then you’ll trust me too, since Kargon asked you to, right?”

“Yes.”

That’s right.

Even though he’s young, he’s quite reliable.

Nodding with satisfaction, I looked at Elpinire.

“Elpinire.”

“Huh?”

“Please take care of Karnack.”

It does prick my conscience to ask someone else for a favor when I’m the one who was asked for a favor.

But what can I do.

I handed Karnack over to Elpinire, who had a bewildered expression.

“I’m going up there for a bit.”

No more orcs were falling.

But I could still sense orc presence from above.

Before taking Karnack up to the top of the ravine, it would be better to completely eliminate any potential dangers.

‘The fact that I haven’t received a system notification that the 5th Floor has been cleared also means Karnack is still in danger.’

I clicked my tongue at Elpinire’s flustered appearance and spoke to Jini.

“Jini, please help out too.”

“M-me too? What can I possibly do?”

“…I wonder?”

I don’t really know either.

I quietly turned my gaze away from Jini, who looked betrayed, and looked up at the sky.

[Mist Technique – Mist Flight]

My body shot upward rapidly from the recoil of the mist.

After exploding mist several times, I quickly escaped from the ravine.

“Wow, how disgusting.”

The ground above the ravine that I finally reached was filled with orcs standing around blankly.

The orcs who had lost their commander were just standing there stupidly, unable to get their bearings.

“But I guess they can still distinguish the smell of their own kind’s blood.”

Landing on the ground near the ravine, I looked around.

Perhaps because of the scent of their kinsmen’s blood vibrating from the ravine, not a single orc existed right near the ravine.

“At a glance, there are about a hundred.”

I need to deal with them as quickly as possible.

With that resolve, I used ‘Black Dragon’.

No, I tried to use it.

“!?”

If only a giant yellow meteor hadn’t crashed down from the sky.

Swirling sandstorm.

Fluttering clothes.

I covered my face with my hands and sleeves and endured the rushing shockwave.

“…My apologies.”

Whoosh.

The dust that had risen scattered instantly with a light gesture.

Finally lowering my hands, I spotted Kargon who had appeared on the blood-stained ground.

“…”

With a deep tan-colored bow the size of his torso strapped to his back, he was pulling out a giant spear that had been driven deep into the ground.

Just once.

The technique he used had wiped out all the orcs in this area.

But I couldn’t be happy about it.

It was natural.

“…Hey, Kargon.”

“What?”

I stared at Kargon with deeply sunken eyes.

Kargon, who had suddenly disappeared.

I’m sure it wasn’t there until just before he disappeared from the ravine.

“What is that power I’m sensing from your body?”

From Kargon’s body, which had reappeared, I could feel a strange power.

That’s right.

The steel-like aura I had felt from the orc warrior that had charged at us earlier.

At my words, Kargon quietly closed his mouth.

Then he smiled bitterly and muttered.

“It was my mistake to enhance your ki sense.”

“I told you to explain immediately.”

“The power you sense is indeed the same power that those orcs were wielding. To be precise… it should be called the power of the Orc Lord.”

Crack.

I ground my teeth as I looked at Kargon.

Orc Lord.

Certainly the monarch leading the current orcs and.

‘The being that even Kargon said he couldn’t defeat.’

Why does Kargon possess the power of such a being?

These orcs right now must have been sent by the Orc Lord, right?

Then does that mean Kargon joined hands with someone trying to kill Karnack?

I don’t understand what’s going on.

Kargon looked at me like that and shook his head.

“You’re mistaken right now.”

“Then explain it. My head is throbbing so I can’t understand the current situation.”

“First, can’t we postpone that for later?”

Kargon was quietly looking down at the ravine.

I also turned my gaze to look down at the ravine.

There, Elpinire and Jini, who had sensed someone’s intense power that wasn’t mine, were flying toward us at very high speed.

“Your friends are bringing Karnack with them.”

“…I understand.”

He won’t run away.

Knowing that fact, I slowly nodded my head.

[Protect Karnack]

[Achieved]

[Moving to the next floor]

As soon as I turned my body toward the ravine, Elpinire and Jini burst out from the ravine and rushed at me, shouting.

“Master! Are you hurt anywhere!?”

“I’ll! I’ll block them! So-.”

“I’m perfectly fine, so calm down.”

I patted the shoulders of the two who were extremely excited.

Only then did Elpinire, realizing that I was unharmed, let out a deep sigh of relief, and Jini collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

“Then what was that power just now?”

“Over there.”

I lightly pointed behind me with my finger.

Kargon, who had removed his helmet, was gazing at Elpinire with a benevolent smile.

“…”

“…”

A warning cry from instinct.

Elpinire and Jini looked at Kargon with extreme wariness.

Under that gaze, Kargon clicked his tongue softly and smiled awkwardly.

“Oh my. It seems the first impression wasn’t very good.”

“It couldn’t be helped.”

With such a spectacular first appearance, how could the first impression be good?

At my retort, Kargon wore a bitter smile.

But that smile didn’t last even a full second.

“Lord Kargon!”

“I knew you’d be safe.”

Karnack burst out from the materialized Omen’s embrace and ran toward Kargon with quick steps.

Kargon carefully lifted Karnack into his arms and said to us.

“I don’t like standing in this blazing sun continuously, how about we go to the oasis?”

“Haha. That sounds good.”

Kargon turned around, saying he would guide us.

Seeing him take the lead, I lightly patted Elpinire and Jini’s shoulders.

“Let’s go.”

“…Is it okay to follow him?”

“It should be safe.”

Probably.

Swallowing the rest of my words, I stepped forward on the blood-stained ground.

[6th Floor]

[Have a sincere conversation with Kargon]

[Not achieved]

* * *

Kargon walked ahead for quite a while.

Since I couldn’t sense any oasis nearby either, it was natural.

After walking for about an hour like that.

Kargon, who had returned to the oasis where we had stayed until a while ago, carefully laid down Karnack, who had fallen asleep in his arms, on the ground.

“Does he sleep a lot?”

“Young orcs naturally sleep a lot. Since long ago, watching the faces of sleeping children has been my pleasure.”

Kargon stroked the cheek of sleeping Karnack.

Soft skin, unlike the dry skin of orcs.

He chuckled audibly and stood up, asking.

“Shall we have a conversation now?”

“…”

“Ah, before that, may I ask you one question first?”

“Go ahead.”

I gazed at Kargon with calm eyes.

Elpinire and Jini also looked at him while maintaining quiet silence.

Kargon looked at me, Elpinire, and Jini in turn, then slowly opened his mouth.

“You’re not from this place, are you?”

“…Did you know?”

“How could I not?”

Kargon’s question wasn’t really a question.

It was something that could only come out because he already knew everything.

A kind of certainty.

“I can sense all of this place, all of Berdine. Of course, I only do it about twice a day.”

Even when I first fell in the ravine, he threw himself without hesitation because he had sensed me nearby.

He threw me far away to prevent the unfamiliar outsider from approaching Karnack, but unintentionally created a lost item.

Since that was a mistake, he spread his mana throughout Berdine with the intention of returning the lost item.

But.

“You disappeared. Without any trace.”

You suddenly vanished.

And then suddenly appeared quite far away along with two new presences.

“I thought it was strange from that moment.”

Following that presence, we ended up meeting.

While following to figure out who you were, he realized you were a strange person.

“Someone who handles the power of the boundary between the afterlife and death, yet hasn’t learned how to perfectly control that power.”

“…”

“Someone who doesn’t even properly know the common sense of this place.”

Don’t touch orcs.

Never enter Berdine.

Someone who doesn’t even know such basic common sense.

When such a person literally fell from the sky.

Would it be right to think of this as an ordinary person?

No.

His brain immediately denied this.

And concluded.

“You must be from another world… such a place.”

“Correct.”

“As I thought, that would be the case.”

“You were certain this time as well?”

“Your answer about Karnack drove the final nail in.”

I can’t take responsibility, but I’ll do what I can to help.

After hearing that answer, he was finally able to reach a conclusion.

The fact that this person had a place to return to, somewhere we could never go.

I looked at the being that had evolved one step beyond the creature called an orc and chuckled.

“Then now it’s my turn to ask questions.”

“…Ask away.”

“What are you?”

“….”

I looked straight at Kargon, who stood there with his mouth shut.

I met his blue eyes directly with my orange ones.

“What exactly are you?”

“…It will be quite a long story, would that be alright?”

“I have nothing but time.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll tell you.”

Huu….

Kargon let out a calm breath and slowly began to speak.

“Going back hundreds of years in time. Berdine back then was still hot, but not to the extent that even plants couldn’t survive.”

The scorching heat was no different from now, but it rained about once a month.

Thanks to that, plants could grow despite the heat.

But animals had a hard time surviving.

Under the harsh heat of that barren Berdine, there was only one form of life that lived.

“Their name was Orc.”

Excessively violent and lacking any reason, they would often devour their own kind when they couldn’t find food.

In such harsh conditions, one orc pup was born.

That orc was just an ordinary orc with no reason, like all the other countless orcs.

“But that orc pup, while following its kin who went out hunting, mistepped and fell down below.”

The orc that tumbled down the hill suffered severe injuries.

It received a deep wound across its eye and cheek, and hit its head hard against a rock.

But who could have known.

The place where the orcs had gone hunting happened to be a temple hidden deep within Berdine.

And the fact that the rock the fallen orc hit was no ordinary stone.

“That orc gained intelligence similar to humans from the shock of hitting its head on the rock, and had human civilization and way of life injected into its mind.”

The only orc among the mindless orcs to gain intelligence.

At the same time, the strongest orc who had perfectly awakened his hidden talent for mana.

“That orc’s name was Kargon.”

“….”

“That’s right. I am the true Orc Lord who led the brief golden age of the orcs.”

Kargon.

No.

The now-forgotten lord of the orcs.

Said this in a very calm voice, pulling up the corners of his mouth bitterly.
