[Processing data 40%] The automated voice reminded again, but I had no ti to check that out. All I cared about right now was to escape from this land or fight back with everything I had!
The ice spell that the kid conjured covered the land, killing off five of the ogres. I knew they died from the snow, since a gigantic block of ice ford around their bodies. Although the ogres could withstand the spell directly, those monsters were still vulnerable to surprise attacks.
And the magic spell that enveloped this terrain ca out of nowhere. It also led to the massacre of the ogres. The area of effect caught all the ogres, including their leader, standing from afar.
However, the remaining three were quick to react, forcing themselves to shield their bodies from the attack. The chilling ability went through their skin, but the ogres shattered the ice within seconds after freezing. The leader was also alive, despite taking that vast spell straight in the face.
Uruk-hai was the boss of this part, so killing that monster would take more than a frosty dessert.
As I turned around to look at my saviour, Afenos collapsed while staring in front of . But before the little kid could kiss the ground, he was fortunate enough to have the villagers beside him. Those townspeople caught Afenos' body and pulled him away from danger. They knew that was the last strength left from Afenos as all of them hurried back to safety.
So villagers entered the battlefield, but they couldn't walk in my direction. The icy floor was enough to fend them away, together with the gawking eyes of the ogre at their location. These civilians imdiately retreated and hid behind the lump of dirt, afraid of dying without a cause.
It was an admirable entrance, but marching forward would not result in anything besides their deaths. Despite their cowardice of not going for , I was still thankful that they appeared before my last breath
The warm sensation of soone cheering on filled my heart while I stood strong in front of my enemy.
I returned my focus to the field and t the eyes of Uruk-hai leering at . It differed from the stares that I experienced before. That monster had killing intentions oozing from its body.
If I had to guess, Uruk-hai must have been itching to kill after seeing its pawns die in vain.
"Thank you, Afenos," I whispered, while desperately forcing myself to stand up from the ground.
"Kill him"
With that instruction, the three ogres charged straight at with intense speed. Despite their sizable mass, the ogres breezed through the wind, crushing the icy floors.
Upon squinting my eyes, a powerful aura engulfed the three monsters. That magical enhancent ca from Uruk-hai, who had cast it behind our backs.
It was a spell that heightened the muscles of any individual. I did not know the rest of the information of the spell, but I knew it was a formidable one that could bring to death's door.
That hunch proved right as the ogre slamd its hands against my blocking arm. My Clarent sword was the one that pulled that off, cutting the damage by the ogre. However, the speed of the monsters was far too incomparable to mine. Those ogres perford a blitz of attacks, making fly towards the other side of the field.
The two creatures were already waiting for at that end part of the land. They tossed my body around like a toy ant to break and fall. I tried wiggling out from my misery, but the humongous hand grabbing onto my leg never let go.
After one final slap of the ogre, my body plumted to the ground. And this ti, I couldn't find any strength inside of
It was a miracle that I was still alive but with the injuries I got from the monsters, all of my appendages beca numb. It was just not my left arm, but my entire body
"Get up," I whispered. However, my voice croaked, begging for any rest that I could give.
Uruk-hai finally sauntered to , with the rest of the ogre still charging up a blast. Six magic circles appeared at the hand of the ogres as they planned to turn everything into dust, including the village nearby. It was Uruk-hai's goal, leaving nothing but minced at from this town.
But before those three bastards could even do anything to , stones from a few feet away hit the ogre's head. Although the damage was minimal to the naked eye, it was enough to disrupt the ogre's focus.
"Leave Arthur alone!"
"Get away from the hero!"
"Stay away from Arthur!"
After a few seconds, dozens of magic projectiles ca flying in the ogre's direction. But the tough skin of the ogres negated all damage from those spells as they crashed to their bodies. A cloud of black smoke ca afterwards, but I knew that was not enough to stop the mad titans.
Cheers of various voices coming from the villagers roared behind . As I raised my head by a few centitres, the figure of a group surrounded the crater. Each of them, even the children, hurled out pebbles at the chanting ogres.
"This village is very admirable. You lots keep struggling all you want. But those puny magic spells will not do a thing to our impenetrable skin. Even your hero, Arthur, couldn't do anything to my pawns or ."
By the ti that Uruk-hai gave his speech, that monster kicked in the abdon. The strength from that attack churned my entire body upside down. I could feel my organs splattering inside of , with my bones breaking into pieces.
Uruk-hai flashed a smirk as that monster did it again and again and again, waiting for to break my conscience. I kept my eyes straight at the ogre's figure, but
The more I struggled, my body continued asking for its last rest.
"This is the end of the line for you, Arthur. I comnd you for wasting my ti.. And becoming a hero. But like every epic, your story will be forgotten by many especially when you're dead. Thank you for paving the way to prove myself for the demon king, Arthur. I will rember your na."
"Fuck you!"
After our exchange, Uruk-hai raised its leg and attempted to stomp my crawling body. Everything around beca slow, like a snail, as if I could control ti itself. But it was not like that. I knew that my character did not have any overpowering abilities like ti manipulation.
'Ah is this what those old people call life review?' I thought, and watched all my mories of the past.
Now that I thought about it, I did nothing with my life. I even abandoned this village when it needed the most. My character was terribly underleveled to defeat any monsters before . My sword was not a legendary one... not like the mythical Excalibur.
It was as the voice had told I was not a hero and will never beco a hero in these two worlds
However that monster called one. Was it because I rushed in front and hoped to save everyone? Even the voices behind called a hero I did not know, since I never saved them
I'm scared frightened All I wanted to do was to run away from this place. I wished for a blissful life where the people surrounding would call a hero.
My eyes beca weary, and my hands touched the ground. Uruk-hai's foot drew closer near my face. It was the beginning of the end for , and there was nothing I could do to stop my fate.
'I guess this is it this is where I'd die' I pondered, and sluggishly closed my eyes. 'I want to beco a hero I want to... beco a hero.'
No matter how hard I reached for the stars, humans couldn't fly. I always fall on the ground, failing every trial that I have encountered. Even in my past life or this new life, I was still a failure A worthless man who wanted to beco a hero.
"Even if you can't, try. Your body might feel afraid, so do it scared."
A voice from the past echoed through my mind before my eyelids could close off my vision. The figure of the last adventurer welcod my ears as the quote repeated itself once again.
"Even if you feel afraid, do it scared"
[Processing data 99%] The automated voice reminded again, with a percentage of numbers showing on the window. It was the last thing that I saw before touching the bottom of Uruk-hai
But I was still alive.
"Do you wish to save them? Do you wish to put your life for the sake of others?" An enigmatic voice directed a question to .
With the remaining stamina I had, I gave the mysterious voice a nod. "Yes I will"
