Chapter 81: Tomb of the Wind Warrior (5)
The Great Orc Warrior flailing in pain would be greatly enraged that I, a human that was surely prey, could injure it to such a degree. Through Eye of Perception, I could feel it. A predators rage.
And I could tell.
That rage is directed solely at .
Its blazing eyes were glaring at
over the distance I had put between us. But because of the pain, it wasnt able to do anything other than stare.
So it will choose
The Great Orc Warrior was an extrely strong monster. It also possessed considerable prowess in throwing its weapon. The throw would have very high accuracy in addition to great destructive force.
...to throw the axe at .
And with a great deal of strength. In order to tear , and
alone, to pieces, it would use every ounce of its strength. Because those crimson red eyes saw nothing other than .
Its moving.
The Great Orc Warrior was definitely stronger than . If I took a direct hit, a single blow might kill . But that wasnt relevant until it happened.
Id be a fool to get hit even though I know its coming.
I knew the attack was coming, and had even clearly perceived the speed and trajectory of that attack. Of course I wouldnt sit around to get hit by it. I had long since ntally prepared myself to dodge.
I looked carefully, focusing. The mont it hurled its axe, it would reveal an opening.
Sure enough
SQUEAAAAL!
The Great Orc Warrior gave a guttural scream as it threw its axe at .
Whumpf whumpf!
The axe rotated fiercely in the air as it hurtled my way, so fast that it was no exaggeration to say it truly hurtled.
From the very sound it made in the air, I could feel it.
Massive destructive force.
The attack was filled with insane power and was so fast it would have been difficult to dodge had I not predicted it in advance.
But unfortunately for the Orc, both Sunhwa and I had expected it. Sunhwa was standing right next to
to prepare for potential danger, but even our little tank couldnt take that axe straight on. In a situation as dangerous as this, what she could do was limited to slightly changing its trajectory.
That is Sunhwas role.
As comndable as it was, Sunhwa was well aware of her own role and was prepared to do her job.
I turned slightly aside and dodged the axe.
Bam!
The axe buried itself into the ground. Having failed to land the hit, the Great Orc Warrior shrieked in even greater agitation.
And then, I spoke.
Now.
Now was our chance, while the Great Orc Warriors mind was solely concentrated on .
The really scary attack is the one you dont know about.
Even if the attacks were the sa, getting hit by one you knew about was different from one that blindsided you. Right now, right here, Sung-gu and Sunghyuns attack could be called an unexpected attack to the Great Orc Warrior.
Im sure theyve practiced well for this.
I made them practice matching their breathing, and it was all for this mont. From their lips ca a unique language I couldnt understand, an incantation.
[Phemo Haritanaya]
[Wedow Le-lavica-ta]
A fla flickered to life in Sung-gus palm, then beca fierce flas that ford a whip. It was an ability that Sung-gu had used a lot in the past as well.
Fla Whip.
The Fla Whip he was showing now was pathetic compared to when he was a hero of Korea, but for the beginner period, it couldnt be any more magnificent. The next mont, that Fla Whip was covered by blue wind.
Theyre doing well.
Even though they were coordinating today for the first ti, they were performing much better than I expected. The Fla Whip flew taut and straight at the Great Orc Warrior like an open-mouthed snake.
Sunghyun is providing good support.
If Sung-gu was handling the destructive force, then Sunghyun was fueling the flas and handling the precision. The two of them were covering each others inadequacies.
This is probably the first magic fusion shown since the Cataclysm.
These two certain geniuses were managing their first magic fusion quite well.
I knew they would do well.
After all, the two of them were a famous combo to begin with. Even though they usually looked like two archenemies itching to have at it, as soon as they went into a raid, they showed off a partnership that was as harmonious as peanut butter and jelly. The way their personalities and classes matched up was unequaled.
The Fla Whip wrapped in wind went straight into the Orcs mouth. Yoohyun balled his fist, yelling a triumphant Nice!
The flas blazed within the Great Orc Warriors mouth. Sweat poured from Sung-gus forehead.
This goddamn bastard. Its resilient as all hell. He was using up all his mana to continue feeding the flas. Die, you goddamn bastard!
This was the climax I directedthe Great Orc Warrior blazing like a torch.
And the Iron Sword I put in there earlier
The Iron Sword penetrating its mouth would beco molten iron that would lt the Great Orc Warrior from the inside, running down its esophagus to turn all of its insides to mush.
SQUEAAAAAL!
The Great Orc Warrior flopped onto the ground. This play was coming to completion.
Yeonseo, Yoohyun.
Yeonseo and Yoohyun, our close combat fighters, stepped up. Yeonseo used her movent skill Heavenly Demonic Flying Step to approach first. So that they could coordinate, she told Yoohyun what technique she would be using and where.
Single Hit Finisher. Back of head.
More precisely, the hole Id left in the back of the Great Orc Warriors head. Yoohyun followed, barking out the na of his finisher. It wasnt really necessary, but he still said the skill na out loud. It was probably a habit hed gained from coordinating with Yeonseo.
Hamr Fist!
Yoohyun followed up Yeonseos Single Hit Finisher with his Hamr Fist on the back of the collapsed and frothing-at-the-mouth Great Orc Warriors head.
Boom!
The sound that shook the air was almost like an explosion, though it of course fell far short of the fist I rembered from the Fist King So Yoohyun.
[Great Orc Warrior has been killed.]
[EXP acquired.]
[52 Coins acquired.]
Perfect.
It didnt count as a direct hunt. I did deal so damage and directed the hunt like a sovereign, but it was still calculated as
doing less than 50% damage.
I think the Coins were given to , the party leader.
I just had to distribute them later. The Observer class seed better than I first thought. If controlled well, I wouldnt need to worry too much about losing EXP.
[Hunt all the Orc species monsters! has been cleared.]
* * *
In addition to what the Herdsman of Las Vegas proposed, we cleared the gamble-of-a-quest issued by the Whispering Devil and Courageous Lion King. A gamble wasnt a gamble for nothing. It was high risk, high return.
[The first proposal of the Herdsman of Las Vegas is still valid.]
[Distributing rewards to all Players who participated.]
[The rewards being currently distributed are from clearing Secret Within the Tomb of the Wind Warrior.]
The rewards distribution proceeded in order. Right now, I couldnt even feel the throbbing from my broken wrist. The rewards were just that sweet.
The rewards this ti
No rewards Id gotten before could even compare. A stream of rewards as massive as what Michelle must have gotten in the past ca in, dazzling my eyes.
[100,000 Coins acquired.]
[Great Orc Warriors Gloves acquired.]
[U-Plex Dungeon First Entry Rights acquired.]
Those were the rewards from the quest proposed by the Herdsman of Las Vegas.
[Calculating an additional reward.]
[50,000 Coins acquired.]
It didnt feel like a lot because I had just gotten 100,000 Coins, but frankly, 50,000 Coins alone was a massive amount. We got a asly 50 Coins from hunting the Great Orc Warrior. Considering that, I had just gotten a huge pile of Coins.
Is it over?
It wasnt.
[Receiving a secret reward.]
Hm?
Secret reward?
This must be the reward from the quest proposed by the Whispering Devil or Courageous Lion King. Of the two of them, the Whispering Devil was more likely to hatch such a sche.
[High Orc Spell Scroll acquired.]
Apparently, only I got this reward. The others didnt seem to know about it.
The Whispering Devil gave this to , huh.
I could clearly see what the Whispering Devil was thinking. He was definitely an interesting bastard. By sending
this, it ant the Whispering Devil had, like , already predicted what exactly would happen.
This is gonna be fun.
Our resident Two-Faced Swords(wo)man, Shin Yeonseo, beca a lively young woman in her early 20s after sheathing her sword. She jumped with joy, her face as red as an apple, showing that she was extrely pleased with what she got.
Wowww! I got an Agility Potion!
Yoohyun got a Strength Potion, while Sunghyun and Sung-gu each got Elental Affinity Potions. Everyone seed to have gotten an item that suited them. As long as you could successfully win a gamble, it would indeed yield plentiful rewards.
Dayum. Hey, you saw that, right? I was super strong, no? Jo Sunghyun, you were just like a pedestal for my greatness, you hear? I did it all, you just assisted! Uhahah!
...
Sung-gu was busy putting on airs in front of Sunghyun.
Shabam, shabam! You saw it, right? My Fla Whip was super aweso. You admit it, right? Yeah, of course you do. Admit it again? Right, gotcha. Wooow. I must be really fuckin strong. Right?
...Ah, yes. Youre very strong, said Sunghyun in a flat voice.
Everyone was excited from killing the Great Orc Warrior. Sunghyun was comparatively chill, and his eyes were saying, Okay, you bark all you want. Im gonna check my rewards, which made
feel like I was almost looking at the future Sunghyun and Sung-gu.
So they were like this from their beginner days, too.
The young Sunghyun just answered, Ah, yes, but later, he would bicker and quarrel with Sung-gu. But well, they could afford to enjoy this leisure right now.
As she watched Sung-gu puff out his chest, Sunhwa muttered, looking sowhat displeased, It was all thanks to my oppa, okay?
Summary: Slight Brocon
TN: Changed Sunhwa's summary from brother complex to brocon, since 'brother complex' is the state and 'brocon' is the person with the complex.
Oppa did it all, okay?
I decided to ignore her summary. I acted like I didnt hear her. Maybe she was acting like this because of puberty. Thankfully, the others didnt hear her because she spoke so quietly.
Once the rewards calculation was finished, Guardian notices ca in.
[The Naless Observer continues to observe.]
Like always, the Naless Observer continued their endless observation. Guardians like the Lady of the Scales, True Master of the Heavenly Demonic Mountain, or Giant of the Sunset didnt send
ssages, most likely because they were focusing on their favorites.
[The Herdsman of Las Vegas is happy.]
The host of this quest, the Herdsman of Las Vegas, also enjoyed the amusent. Up to this point, I heard two notices. Notices from the others aside, I was waiting for a notice from a certain soone.
Youre gonna send a notice too.
The Whispering Devil sent
a High Orcs Spell Scroll. That ant hed already seen sothing brewing among the Guardians. He went out of his way to send
this as a secret reward.
When are you gonna send it?
I waited patiently. He would definitely send
a notice, most likely before this flash gate was completely cleared and we were sent outside.
I spoke up.
I think weve eliminated all the dangerous elents, but we need to look around. The condition to completely clear this place was to find the Secret Within the Tomb of the Wind Warrior.
It wouldnt be hard. Eye of Perception didnt pick up anything dangerous, either. There was probably a Clear Crystal sowhere inside the tomb.
So that ant wed cleared this place without a hitch. Everyone understood my words and moved towards the tombs.
Yes!
Yep!
Okay!
Understood!
Got it, hyung.
And then, I heard so notices.
Ive been waiting.
They were the notices I had predicted.
