Just as the host said, the two ogres crushed the king sticky sli, but…
(Safe!! The king sticky sli was able to get away safely…)
The sli was narrowly able to escape death. Its body was crushed, but its nucleus was able to dodge through the gaps of the two shields.
Slis were originally weak creatures. Because of this their ability to sense danger ca to beco greater than that of humans or other magical beasts. Unfortunately, normal slis were so weak that despite their ability to sense coming, they still failed to run away as they were just too slow. But Ryouma’s slis were an exception, and they were much faster than wild slis.
Ryouma’s king sticky slis were not strong, but they were extrely proficient at dodging and defending. With their exceptional ability to sense danger coupled with their heightened mobility, these king sticky slis are able to escape even from the most perilous of situations.
But that’s not all. Just as the saying, ‘Chance appears in the peak of danger’ goes, the situation took an earth-shattering change as the match turned favorable for Ryouma.
“…? …!? Let go!” [Roodman]
Just like Ryouma, Roodman usually only gave orders through telepathy, so usually, no one else hears him give commands. The number of tis Roodman has ordered out loud could be counted by hand.
Seeing Roodman order out loud, the host couldn’t help but beco curious. But just as Roodman’s ogres tried to release the slis…
“Gu!?” [Ogre]
“Uga!!” [Ogre]
The two ogre slis that tried to crush the king sticky slis in between their shields had their shields covered by the king sticky sli’s body. Because of that, even their hands were bathed in the king sticky sli’s bodily liquids. Suddenly, the two ogres realized they could no longer let go of the shield. They tried to pull, but no matter how hard they tried, the shield wouldn’t budge away! In their attempts, the painful sensation of skin being torn off jolted through their bodies.
Ryouma’s sli wasn’t a big sli, but a king sli. Of course its sticky liquid would be even stickier. That’s precisely why the situation beca like this. For these two ogres to be completely unable to tug away the shields, if the sticky sli weren’t a king sli, such a thing couldn’t be possible.
(That’s enough! Co back!)
At Ryouma’s order, the sticky sli that was clinging to the ogres, took advantage of the commotion, and picked up the staff on the ground.
(The nucleus jut out under the two shields and was hidden by the ogres’ body, so it was difficult for the crowd to see. The opponent figured it out much quicker than I expected though. As expected of a semifinalist. But with this, although the two ogres won’t go down just yet, we’ve at least greatly reduced their fighting strength.)
As soon as the sli picked up the staff, it resolutely attacked the two ogres. The ogres tried to resist, but the sli was the only one attacking. But that was a given. After all, one of their hands was completely sealed. With their movents sealed like that, they were in no condition to fight. Moreover, when the king sticky sli picked up its staff, it also stretched for the gap between the two shields, and forcefully pulled away their weapon. So on top of being stuck, they were also emptyhanded.
Suddenly, Roodman’s voice echoed.
“Those two ogres are retiring!!” [Roodman]
Ryouma stopped his sli’s attack on the two ogres, and then he ordered it to et up with the rest of the slis still fighting.
Was the analyst truly able to discern Roodman’s plans? The unrelenting flurry of Roodman’s ogres said otherwise.
(…It’s hard to read their movent. We should prioritize evading their attacks. Endure.)
Although Ryouma ordered that, it’s not as if the ogres beca faster or stronger. They’ve just changed from moving like trained soldiers, to randomly picking whatever they can lay their hands on, and attacking the slis. But that’s precisely why ogres are “beasts”. There was no strategy this; this was a mindless and unadulterated battle of strength.
Although the attacks of the ogres also hit from ti to ti, the slis were able to protect their staves and nucleus. The king sticky slis were able to dodge the ferocious attacks of the ogres with the evasiveness and defense they take so much pride in.
5 minutes passed with that deadlock continuing.
After continuing to persist, the ogres’ fierce attacks finally exhausted them, and a small opening was made. The slis aid for that opening, and gradually, they were able to hit back.
10 more minutes passed–––
The ogres’ breath was ragged. They also handled their weapons relatively poorly now compared to when the match just started.
Rushes like that can’t last long. Short battles and long battles have their own respective fighting styles. If ogres could go at full power for 15 minutes without getting tired, then they would already be B Ranked magical beasts.
In a battle of endurance, slis have the advantage. With the ogres slower, the staves of the slis were of course able to land. The attack behind each one might not be much, but after receiving blow after blow in one part, even the ogres’ body won’t be able to help, but swell. Especially the lower body and the fingers of the hands holding their equipnt as they’re relatively easier to aim because of their movents and the close-up battle. This is another reason why the ogres’ movents have gotten worse. From here on, the ones on the offensive are the slis.
Ryouma spurred the slis on as the ogres had no choice but to defend. They tried to fight back, but they couldn’t catch the slis who just hit back with their own staves.
“Gaa!” [Ogre]
In the midst of the slis’ relentless attack, one of the ogres bellowed out a howl as it swung its great sword diagonally down to the right. The sli dodged that sword’s point, entered right to the ogre’s feet, and swung its own staff opposite the direction of the great sword, swinging it diagonally down to the left, accurately landing on the ogre’s right wrist.
At impact, the staff bent, and the sli rebounded the staff up right, crashing it into the ogre’s chin, and sending the ogre’s head back. But the sli did not stop its rush just yet.
After hitting the ogre’s chin, the sli lifted the opposite side of the staff, and thrusted it diagonally up. Because of the difference in stature and the angle, the staff sunk into the armor by the waist, piercing right at the ogre’s groin.
“GUAAA!!!?” [Ogre]
The ogre who just had his chin hit, suddenly scread and squatted right there and there. The males of the crowd that had been watching from start to finish, all grimaced and held their crotch as they empathized
But even then, the sli did not relent. The sli that had just cruelly struck at the ogre’s crotch, went for the finishing blow. Aiming for the back of the head of the squatting ogre, the sli vigorously attacked as it landed a jumping strike. The ogre no longer had the strength, but it still weakly flailed its now empty hands.
(Sorry to the ogre, but the slis are just too weak, there’s no other choice but to go for the fatal spots!)
After a few seconds pause, one of the two pairs of slis fighting against an ogre, made their move. The ogre moved toward one of the two slis coming at it; it swung its hamr on its right. But the mont it tried to––––
“GUWA!?” [Ogre]
The ogre’s elbow was pierced by one of the sli’s staff. The ogre scread and the hamr fell behind the ogre.
What the sli’s staff hit was none other than the upper condyle of the hurus in the elbow. When this location is hit, the nerves will be pressured, and paralysis will occur. Because of that, the ogre couldn’t properly hold the weapon it dropped.
This is a bit off topic, but because the sticky sli was weak and couldn’t properly fight against magical beasts with strong bodies, Ryouma focused on training them to fight against humans. Because of this, the sticky slis are the best choice against human-shaped magical beast. This is the main reason why Ryouma chose to roll with them against the ogres.
Going back to the main topic.
As for the remaining two ogres, while one was weaponless, the other was already full of scars. Its knees were shaking; its movents were dull. But even then, it didn’t lose its resolve. It kept swinging its great sword. The mont it took a stance with its sword on the side, aiming for the two sli’s staves, the slis made their move. The two slis pierced their staff into the ground, and jumped like a pole vault athlete would. In that mont, the ogre swept with its great sword. The staves are going to be cut! Is what anyone would think upon seeing that sight, but…
The staves weren’t cut.
At the staves peak, the slis jumped, their tentacles stretched, and they retrieved their staves as they fluttered about in midair. Seeing that, the crowd was left speechless.
Of course, the enemy ogre couldn’t have possibly predicted that. The ogre stared dumfounded at the two slis. As the two slis fell, they used all of their strength along with all of their weight to land a full-powered blow against the ogre’s head. Like a marionette whose strings had been cut, the ogre fell to the ground.
At the sli’s gaudy victory and the host’s hyping, comntators and spectators alike grew endlessly excited. The five slis all gathered around the only remaining orc: the orc that lost its weapon! The paralysis of its arm gone, the ogre properly picked back up its hamr. But at this mont, Roodman raised his hands and loudly said.
“We lost!” [Roodman]
The host imdiately accepted Roodman’s resignation as he announced Ryouma the winner. At the end of the match, the crowd applauded both Roodman and Ryouma.
“Thank you, it was a good mach.” [Roodman]
“Sa here. Thank you very much.” [Ryouma]
After Roodman spoke a few words to Ryouma, he quietly left the stage. As Ryouma watched Roodman’s back, Ryouma wordlessly returned… But 10 minutes later, the tournant staff asked Ryouma if he could remove the sticky liquid on the weapons and shields, so Ryouma ended up eting Roodman a second ti.
TL Notes: Aight, site update. Also this was a makeup chapter, so queue remains untouched.
1. Dark feature now available. Look to the right if your in landscape mode (desktop or your phone/tablet is landscaped) or to the bottom if your on mobile mode/vertical mode. There should be a dropdown nu there. Select dark23 and it’ll give you a dark the. Select bright, and it’ll give you the old the. Dark the is no longer scary jiggly so no worries, none will get a heart attack this ti around. Also, note that using firefox with the thes kind of fell like sticky rice, so I recomnd using chro. According to Pariah, it also works well on opera; so there’s that option too. Haven’t tested with edge or safari, please do check and comnt. Let know what you think of the dark the too.
2. Chatango is back. If the site dies, it’s probably not chatango’s fault or because there’s a lot of people. The server just sotis derps. Give it an hour or two and it’ll be back. It rarely happens nowadays though.
3. TOC for both series will now ALWAYS be updated since they’re now automated. Of course, I’m referring to the TOC in jigglypuff’s diary, so be sure to bookmark that one and not my blogger TOC.
4. GK skills for the older chapters are currently broken, they’ll be fixed tomorrow. It’s because the skills were put inside those pacman thingys, so wordpress thought they were codes.
5. Older chapters have now been completely moved to this website
6. Not really a site update, but are there any series you guys are interested in? Dropped or not yet translated, but you’ve heard rumors of or have read in MTL? Looking for another series to take as my side project, but I’m not sure what you guys like. I’m thinking of Ashes and Kingdom, but I don’t know how much people like heavy novels. For the record, ashes and kingdoms reads more like an actual novel than one of the usual japanese isseka story. Prose, plot… you know. And yes, the bandit thingy was dropped. Dropped it cause it was basically a nocturne novel written with an R15 rating. I an sure it has so other interesting elents down the line, but what’s the point of all the “action” when they’re not shown? Other than that I also just didn’t like the plot.
7. Oh and last, sorry about the spamfilter. I was wondering why there were less comnts. It turns out a lot of your comnts were getting caught! I’m going to check them every morning now so I can unblock so comnts, so uh, yeah… your comnts will eventually show up this ti.
