Isekai Taneuma

Oak herd

A giant demonic race with green skin stood around the forest square. When I look at the red eyes that are slowly staring at me, I feel the pressure that makes me feel distracted. The limbs were muscular and about the thickness of the adult's torso.

If you are beaten with that, Feng will die good and quick, and if you are bad, you will die after suffering. In fact, the hole in the ground that I just cleaned up was ripping like a crater. Even though it's only one body, it's surrounded by ten bodies.

Damn, this is never going to win... Even before I looked back to secure an exit, the orc stood as if I was waiting. Right, left, and naturally, no water leaks. Looking at it, it was bare hands that attacked it first, but now they were holding such a huge weapon lightly with sticks (it was a log from the feng...).

With weapons and tactics... they're not just idiots.

"Breakthrough! Just run!!

Feng didn't have enough power to push back the complete surprise. Half of them were cats we just met, and the mani were non-combatants. Besides, Feng didn't think it would be necessary to kill Goblin, so he left his usual love gun. One is a poor knife in a bag. In short, I'm the dumbest.

"Purple light flashes!!!

In response to Feng's voice, Jeanne pushed into the thinnest part of the enemy. I'm going to let go of my usual skill and punch a hole in it.

Is there anyone more trustworthy than him as Captain Cutting now in the service of mankind? Feng chased his back, Guillaume scattered bullets around him to keep him under control, and Mary and Mani pulled the panicked cats behind him....

However,

"Kyaaaaaaahh!!

Jeanne, who was leading the way, fell down with a loud scream. Feng, who had a full width of trust, completely lost himself to what happened in an instant. Guillaume, who was facing behind him, plunged in and fell to the ground to meet the two of them.

"What are you doing!!

"Jeanne!!

Feng shouted in disregard of Guillaume's yelling. Jeanne, who was defeated by the orc, seemed to have managed to catch the enemy's attack.

"It's okay, it's okay!

Relax your shoulders in that voice.

Jeanne's assault was perfect. The usual power, the usual sharpness, pushed into the orc in front. But there were two of them out of luck.

Jeanne slashed the whole logs he had in his possession, and tried to cut off the second one with that momentum. However, the sword that was losing power was lightly knocked down by the second orc.

There is no such thing as rigidity after a game. This is real.

Jeanne, beaten from above with a sword she was about to rip off beside her, dropped the sword and a merciless oak blow was added to her back, which she hurriedly tried to pick up. It seemed like a direct blow to Feng's eyes that made him feel dead. But not only was the STR high, but Jeanne, who also had a high VIT, was still alive even after the blow, and she was able to grasp the stretching oak attack with her bare hands.

"Fireball!!

The other orcs mercilessly arrived at the Phoenix, whose march was halted by the defeat of the pioneer Jeanne. Guillaume and Mary responded in a hurry, but for a moment the gap was fatal.

I wonder if the evil demons have also become fierce because two of their friends have already been killed. Whenever logs shook in chaos hit the ground, the ground really rocked like an earthquake. Perhaps if it hits it, it won't hold a damn thing.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" "Hhhhhhhhh!!!" "Shhhhhhhh!!!

But even if you're not scared, the cats jump in like they're responding to the oaks. They groped through the logs that were swirled around and tore apart the Demons' skin with the iron daggers and nails they had. Iron nails are incredibly sharp, and thick oak green skin is also prone to tearing, spreading blood and scaring enemies.

However, that alone did not yet lead to fatal wounds, and the orc quickly regained his mind and responded to the cats with his other hand, which did not have logs, as if he would drive away the annoying flies.

"Phoenix! Do something!!!

Guillaume, the inner bodyguard, screams impatiently during the great turmoil in which the cats enter. His shooting is terribly accurate, but precisely because of this turmoil, it only weakens the nerves. Besides, his gun-handling attacks have hardly worked since now.

But even if they say that, how can they cover up this situation...? All I have is a knife and a sac containing it. Mani is desperately throwing stones. Cats don't listen with excitement. Mary is shooting a fireball in a row, but the enemy isn't stupid either, so she's just taken it off. Is MP management in place? I'm poor as it is.....

After all, in order to get out of this situation, we must first rescue Jeanne, who is fighting the Orcs.

"Mary! If I give you a signal, shoot the Stancloud!!

"So...."

Feng's words were answered with a puzzling response. Naturally, if you shoot something like that in such a state of turmoil, your allies will get involved. But not if you're lost.

"Mani! I'll open the breach, just run!!!

"Eh!? Running away....."

"Just run! As far away as you can! But I can come back as soon as I call!!

Mani nodded with a pale blue expression. Mani is insurance. After confirming it, Feng smashed all the contents of the sac, and instead filled it with as much soil as it could fill the ground.

"... this OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

He rushed toward the oak that was about to be covered by Jeanne, whilst glued in a hammer-throwing technique.

Goh...!!

There was a dull sound, and the Feng's sac was shaken down on the back of the oak. A blow with repeated spins and accumulated centrifugal force distorted Jeanne's face painfully, desperately holding the orc's full weight with her arms alone.

But he was so proud of his strength that he looked like that. There won't be a single oak that took a direct hit. Having taken a heavy blow to the back of his head, the orc shouted anger at the distractor who broke into Tyman for an instant, but as soon as he weakened like a threaded doll, he fell straight to the ground.

Jeanne crawled out to push the orc under it.

"Thank you, White."

Feng handed over his sword, which was rolling on the ground.

"We'll talk later, just grab the orc!! I was gonna put it all together! You can do it!

"Ok!

Jeanne seemed to know what Feng was expecting with that alone. I haven't been dating Date long. When he returned to the front, it was clear that Mary and Guillaume had a calm look on their faces.

Jeanne, as Feng told her, is brilliantly earning happiness from the orcs and stripping away the demons from the cats. Feng turned to them like that,

"Don't feel bad... Mary!! Do it!! Stancloud!!

Guillaume shows a faint expression on Feng's scream. Mary, on the other hand, showed a calm expression and immediately,

"Stancloud!!

As soon as she sang the ancient spell, everyone who had been bumped into each other in the square of the forest stopped attacking at once and fell on the spot. Only Feng dashed away from the square before reaching the Stancloud effect range.

"It's too tight....."

I was almost wrapped in clouds and sank.

From her experience of dealing with Oannes over and over again, or Mary's unique abilities, her magical range of effects seemed to be wider than I thought.

This magic was my second time in my life, but I have to say it's tough no matter how many times I get hit. When the nerves in your body are paralyzed and immobilized, and you try to force yourself to move, the intolerable pain of sitting in your seat for a long time rushes over your body.

"Uhihi... uhihihi... this is unbearable"

As Feng was pounding, Guillaume, who was similarly sinking in the center of the square, shouted with anger.

"Hey, hey! I'm going to roam!! We can't move either!!

Your tongue is trembling, not just because you're numb, but because the orc collapses right next to you. I don't know which one will recover first, but I'm afraid he'll have no choice but to attack unilaterally from the one who gets numb.

But Feng did not panic, nor did he make any noise.

"Look, my hands are hitting. Manny! PleaseGibmeSam Manny!

When he shouted a line that looked like a Showa entertainer, the mani who had just escaped showed his face from a distant place. As I was told, he fled far away and waited without abandoning his people.

To be honest, if he had abandoned Phoenix and really escaped, he would have been out. It is Gargantuar's son who stops when it's time to go. Feng breathed relief.

"Mani. As you can see, you're the shards that can move now. You know what happens next?

As the mani nodded, he picked up Jeanne's sword, which had fallen right next to him... and thought for a moment before replacing the weapon with a phoenix sac, and shook it down forcefully towards the orc's head.

After the numbness came out, Feng and the others lowered their hips to the ground of the square as if they were leaning against each other. The brain said it didn't feel painful, but the nerve cells stretched along the skull were numb and there was a blurred mind. No one seems to be saying with that expression that he can't move any further.

Around it are the bodies of the orcs who fought desperately until now, and right next to them are the ruthless carcasses of cute wildcats. The silver flies that gushed from the cats' corpses were now gathered in the body of the oak, which had stopped moving. The prosperous must decay and behave erratically. What a blessing nature is!

If we had made a mistake, it would have been us, not the orcs, rolling there. Instead of feeling the joy of getting out of such a critical situation, all they had left was a feeling of fatigue.

There was only a sigh. I feel like going home and taking a bath. But it goes without saying that I couldn't. It was too unusual to leave this behind.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy...?"

Guillaume threw up alone. Where the hell did this orc come from? As he explained earlier, Orcs could not have appeared near such people.

Once again, according to his account, orcs are a powerful species of Neurois demons that rarely come to the northern hemisphere. Because, as we have just experienced, orcs are too powerful to be overlooked by the tribes of the Beasts if something like that passes by.

So, it seems that some hagres occasionally head north on the east coast with few beasts and enter the Empire, but hardly ever come to the brave realm on the other side of the continent. I mean, it hasn't happened since history.

And yet, there were several of them... making a herd... and it seemed like they were hunting, so I couldn't leave them alone.

"Anyway, we can't help thinking about it alone. Let's go back to the guild and ask the guild leader for directions."

"Oh, I see... nothing happens unless we report it first. Is that okay with the cats?

Feng agrees with Jeanne and suggests to the feline cats that they look rather sad.

"Nyah... I'll leave that up to you. I'm staying here and making wild graves."

"... maybe the orc is still here? It's too dangerous for you to stay alone."

"Then I'll run away. I'll be fine."

When the cats said so, they began digging the ground with their weapons, iron swords and nails, without hearing Feng's reply. The square seemed very hard, as if the orcs were stepping on it. But the cats were digging through the ground silently, without complaining.

It seems that cats have been eliminated from the forest because of their lack of coordination with other species. Even if I came to the village, I was in a territorial struggle with a domestic cat and a wild cat kept by people.

But it's not because there's no coordination. They never hated each other, even though they were rivals. Feng and the others walked the opposite way today, deciding to leave them alone.

At dusk, the stars were shining in the indigo sky, almost invisible in the woods.
