Auto Looting Range Too Wide Episode 133

Episode 133: Castle Defense (2)

It exploded.

That was the only way to describe it.

The moment the hand axe struck, the Red Orcs spurted blood into the air and were sent flying.

Overwhelming physical force that sent them flying over the castle walls or tumbling across the ground.

Not a single orc remained alive.

“Wh-what the hell just happened?”

“What was that?”

In an instant, all eyes turned to Mincheol.

Both allies and enemies were stunned.

“…Kill that bastard first!”

“How dare that southern Piggy kill my friend?”

“I’ll offer your heart to the Grand Warlord!”

The Red Orcs charged at Mincheol all at once.

From Mincheol’s perspective, this was a situation worth cheering about.

The aggro had focused on him while he needed to protect the Green Orcs and allies.

Naturally, his hands moved faster.

【Activating ‘Magic Bullet Marksman’.】

【Consuming ‘700’ mana.】

【5 magic bullets charged.】

After charging the bullets, Mincheol threw his hand axe again.

Bang! Crash!

All the charging orcs were struck by the hand axe and sent flying.

There were no more living enemies in the vicinity.

Only Mincheol and the Green Orcs remained.

“Th-this can’t be…”

“Who is that soldier?”

“Is he a hero sent by the War God?”

The Green Orcs looked at Mincheol with disbelief.

It was a natural reaction since one soldier had eliminated all enemies in a situation where they were about to be wiped out.

But it wasn’t time to feel relieved yet.

“Roaaaaar!”

“Southern piggies! We’ll kill you!”

“We’ll dedicate this war to the Grand Warlord!”

Enemy soldiers were climbing up again using the grappling hooks.

“Damn! These barbarian bastards!”

“Just how many of them are there!”

“War God! Please watch over us!”

As the Green Orcs hastily raised their weapons.

Hand axes flew toward the enemies.

“Gack!”

“Urgh!”

The enemies who were just about to climb over the castle wall were struck in the face by hand axes and fell below.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

The Green Orcs turned around in surprise.

Mincheol was pulling hand axes from his inventory.

‘I can’t use Magic Bullet Marksman every time.’

War was a long battle. Even though he had brought potions, it was better to conserve mana.

So he decided to drop them before they could climb up.

Mincheol threw hand axes at every Red Orc that showed their face.

It felt like playing whack-a-mole set to the ‘easiest’ difficulty.

After throwing hand axes several times, the Red Orcs couldn’t easily climb up anymore.

‘Now’s the time.’

Mincheol approached the grappling hooks and cut them down.

They were made of solid steel, but thanks to his high strength, he could cut them without much difficulty.

“Aaaaah!”

“You bastard forsaken by the Grand Warlord!”

The enemies screamed as they fell below.

Crack!

A chilling sound echoed. At the horrific sight, Mincheol quickly turned his head away.

“Ugh.”

Thanks to dealing with the grappling hooks, the area where Mincheol was became safe.

This allowed Mincheol to leisurely look around.

“Wow, this is insane.”

The moment he looked beyond the castle wall, Mincheol clicked his tongue.

It was packed with enemies all the way to the horizon.

‘They want us to hold against this?’

The escape condition wasn’t easy for no reason.

The Quest itself was ridiculously difficult.

“Kahahat! Where do you piggies think you’re going!”

“We’ll quench our thirst with your blood!”

“We’ll offer your pathetic lives to the Grand Warlord!”

Naturally, this wasn’t the only place where battle was taking place.

Countless grappling hooks were attached all along the castle wall.

Red Orcs were endlessly climbing up using those hooks.

‘We won’t last long like this.’

The area where Mincheol was could handle the grappling hooks in time, but other places couldn’t.

They were already struggling to fend off the swarming soldiers.

‘The quality of soldiers is different to begin with.’

Red Orcs were much more aggressive than Green Orcs. Their stamina and strength also seemed superior.

‘Should I go help? No, it’s useless.’

The castle was large enough to rival a decent-sized city.

The castle walls were equally long. Mincheol alone couldn’t cover all those areas.

It was a moment when he realized how powerless an individual becomes in the face of war.

‘Huh? Wait a minute.’

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Mincheol.

‘I just need to deal with the grappling hooks, right?’

The biggest problem right now was that enemies were flowing in using the grappling hooks.

And Mincheol had a skill that could eliminate all those grappling hooks.

【Acquiring all ‘Steel Grappling Hooks’ within a 1.1km radius.】

【Acquired 5 ‘Steel Grappling Hooks’.】

【Inventory is full. Auto Looting skill can no longer be used.】

Five grappling hooks in the vicinity disappeared.

“Huh? Huh?”

“Waaaaah!”

The enemy soldiers holding the ropes all fell down below.

Screams and crushing sounds echoed one after another.

“Oh yeah…”

As expected, Mincheol frowned at the terrible sight.

But he quickly forgot about it and opened his inventory.

Right now, Mincheol’s inventory was weighed down by miscellaneous items.

So his inventory became full with just five hooks.

To get rid of all those many hooks, he had to move diligently.

【You acquire 5 ‘Steel Hooks’.】

【Inventory is full. You can no longer use the Auto Looting skill.】

Mincheol activated Auto Looting without rest.

Every time his inventory became full, he opened it and took out the hooks.

“Aaaahhh!”

“Uwaaahhh!”

“Grand Warlord!”

Enemy soldiers came tumbling down to the ground in droves.

“…?”

“…??”

The allied soldiers nearby looked at Mincheol with surprised expressions.

It was already amazing that the hooks were disappearing. But then Mincheol was pulling them out from thin air.

From their perspective, it looked like Mincheol was performing incredible magic.

‘This is the last one.’

Mincheol succeeded in getting rid of all the hooks.

Hooks were piled up high beneath his feet.

“Oh, God of War. Is what I’m seeing real?”

“Worry about that later! Let’s drive out these savage bastards first!”

The Green Orcs began driving out the Red Orcs.

It didn’t take very long.

“D-damn! What the hell is happening!”

“Reinforcements? We’re supposed to fight alone without reinforcements?”

“Damn, Grand Warlord! Give me courage!”

The Red Orcs had fallen into panic.

The hooks had disappeared, and no more allies were coming up.

The Red Orcs lost their fighting spirit and were quickly dealt with.

【You have perfectly blocked the northern orcs’ offensive!】

【What an amazing performance! You are truly a hero of war!】

【You acquire bonus points! Your clear score increases dramatically!】

Then, a message appeared before Mincheol’s eyes.

Originally, the condition for reaching the first save point was to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

But thanks to Auto Looting, Mincheol had succeeded in perfectly blocking the enemy’s attack.

【You have reached the first Save Point!】

【The Save Point will end in 5 minutes!】

【Would you like to complete the Quest?】

It felt too early to end it already. Mincheol muttered quietly.

“I’ll continue the challenge.”

【You have chosen to continue the Quest.】

It was right after the message appeared.

Bang—!

Suddenly, a tremendous sound was heard. Mincheol looked up at the castle wall in surprise.

Ladders made of steel had been placed there.

Mincheol looked down in shock. Soldiers were climbing up the ladders in a line.

There were far more of them than with the hooks. Red Orcs began climbing the ladders densely packed together.

“Move aside!”

The Green Orcs shouted toward Mincheol.

Two or three Green Orcs were gathered together, gripping poles and trying to push the ladders away.

“Everyone put in every ounce of strength you have!”

“God of War! Give me strength!”

But the ladders wouldn’t budge easily.

It was because of the weight of the orcs climbing up the ladders.

Moreover, there were too many ladders. There weren’t enough people to push the poles.

Mincheol looked down and was horrified.

Dozens of orcs were climbing the ladders while glaring at Mincheol.

‘If those guys come up, I’ll have to fight like hell, won’t I?’

Just imagining it was terrible.

So he decided to deal with them before they came up.

【You acquire all objects within the cube range.】

Mincheol used his cutting ability toward the middle section of a ladder.

“…Huh?”

One of the two support beams snapped cleanly. Then the ladder broke with a crack.

“Uh, uaaahhh!”

“What the hell is happening!”

“Grand Warlord!”

The orcs hanging on the ladder came tumbling down.

Red flowers bloomed one after another on the ground.

“Ugh.”

Mincheol turned his head slightly. No matter how much he saw it, he couldn’t get used to it.

“That aside, I need to drop them quickly.”

Mincheol continued using his cutting ability.

The ladders hanging on the castle wall broke one after another.

The sight of enemy soldiers pouring down was quite a spectacle in its own way.

【Inventory is full. You can no longer use the Auto Looting skill.】

Every time his inventory filled up, Mincheol took out the ladder pieces and threw them on the ground.

Ladder pieces began piling up at Mincheol’s feet along with the hooks.

“N-no, what’s that?”

“C-could the reason the ladders are breaking be…?”

The Orc Soldiers watched Mincheol’s actions in shock.

Meanwhile, Mincheol succeeded in bringing down all the ladders.

Of course, not a single orc had reached the top of the castle wall.

【You have perfectly blocked the northern orcs’ offensive!】

【What an amazing performance! You are truly a hero of war!】

【You acquire bonus points! Your clear score increases dramatically!】

【You have reached the second Save Point!】

【The Save Point will end in 30 minutes!】

【Would you like to complete the Quest?】

A message appeared simultaneously.

Even though reinforcements hadn’t arrived yet, he had reached the second Save Point.

‘Is it okay for it to be this easy?’

It wasn’t the first time, but he wondered if it was okay to cheese it this much with Auto Looting.

Then, Mincheol noticed the gazes directed at him.

“…”

“…”

All the soldiers on the castle wall were looking at Mincheol with shocked faces.

Mincheol wasn’t flustered. It was the reaction he had expected.

Anyone would be shocked if they saw Auto Looting.

‘I should say I received an ancestral ability.’

Skills and stats were unique abilities of the Tower. They didn’t exist in other dimensions.

But I heard similar things existed.

So if I glossed over it roughly, everyone would just let it slide.

In Axria, the dimension where the defensive layer existed, the power received from ancestors was similar to skills.

The orcs of Axria could display supernatural abilities by accepting the souls of their ancestors.

It was just as Mincheol was about to speak.

“We greet the incarnation of the war god!”

“O incarnation of the war god! Please watch over us!”

The soldiers all knelt on the ground in unison and shouted.
