“Stop him!"

Dean's group stands in front of me and raises a spear.

Sprinkle!

Swinging your right arm as if the ogre were a nuisance, broke Lex and Mark's spear.

The wind gives way to Dean's group and the ogre swings its left arm.

“Thunder chain. ”

Pacchichichichitchat!

“Rrrrgh!”

Just in time, if the Wizard Girl hadn't used the Thunder Chain, your people would have been in trouble.

Perhaps struck by lightning, the ogre pauses trembling for a moment.

But that was it.

This time, the Ogre regained his mind and looked at the Wizard Girl.

“Magic is useless, I see. ”

Dean sighs.

Huh? Wait... It was his skin that was resistant to electric shock and flame magic, wasn't it?

“We have to pierce his skin! ”

“Yes?”

I yell at the curious Dean's group.

“You can put a spear through his body and rewrite the thunder chain to do some damage! ”

“Ah!”

Then Dean realized what I meant.

His skin is resistant!

So I pierce the skin with a spear and stick it inside my body. After that, if the wizard girl uses the Thunder Chain again, the window will become a conductor and deliver electric shock in the body.

“Khhh!”

The ogre tried to punch the wizard girl.

“Noum! Walk! ”

Noonum makes a hand of dirt and grabs the ogre by the ankle once more.

As the ogre loses its balance, its fist flies past the wizard girl's head. The girl's blue hair is scattered by the storm. The girl had a blue face.

“Put a spear through his body, I'll catch him somehow! ”

Soon I became angry and pressed down on the ogre with the hands of many dirt. Whenever the ogre struggled, I felt dizzy, but I endured it.

“Now! Attack! ”

Dean's group lunges at you with a spear. Lex and Mark rush at each other with their broken spears.

“Grrrgh!”

“Ugh! Not a chance! ”

I was so desperate to survive.

He was a little skillful. You figured out a way to tie him up without confronting his supernatural powers.

He swings his right arm, and I grab his left arm. If he tries to raise his head, I pull both feet off him instead. Great! You're doing great. Me!

But even more angry, the ogre started to glow at random.

“Ow!”

“Hehe!”

Rex and Hans, who approached the ogre's struggle, fall off their feet. Mark hesitated.

But Master Dean didn't stop.

“Eat this! ”

Puck!

Dean stabs the ogre with his own spear, burrowing about a mile into the sediment on the right leg of the ogre. We did it! We did it!

“Wizard!”

Dean's desperate cry for a quick retreat.

“Thunder Chain! ”

The sorceress girl casts a spell.

Parchichichichichichichi!

A lightning bolt pierced the ogre's body with a spear embedded in it.

“Gruuuhhh!”

The ogre's scream echoes out loud.

All right, it's working!

The right leg of the thunder-chained man rots black.

“Done! He won't be able to use one leg! ”

Dean shouts for joy.

All right. Time to wrap this up.

“Noum. Dig a big hole in front of him! ”

-Yeah.

The gnome shovels hard. A hole was dug more than 5 meters deep in the shovel.

“Get him inside! ”

The hands of dirt protrude from the ground and grab the ogre and start pulling it into the pit.

Every time he resisted, I had a nasty headache and dizziness, and I wanted to vomit. Do you think it's like being on a boat all day in stormy weather?

Had it not been for 90 years of perseverance, he would have returned the wrath immediately.

“Help the Prince! ”

Dean's mercenaries stab the ogre in the back and push it into the pit. The crystal was the sorcerer girl's magic.

“Wind Hammer. ”

The hammer of wind smashes the ogre's back.

Kuoooo!

“Grrrgh!”

An ogre falling upside down in the pit groans miserably.

“Noum! Fill the pit! ”

The gnome starts shoveling and filling the pit with dirt.

He struggles to escape, but one of his legs breaks, and the dean mercenaries from above thrust through the spear, preventing him from making his move.

When I fully filled the pit, I couldn't even see the Ogre. They buried him alive.

As expected, people should read!

“Did you win?”

“Oh, he's still struggling. ”

The ground still trembles, as Dean says. It was evidence of his extreme resistance.

Time passed in a choking tension.

It calmed down after about 10 minutes.

“Turn it off, let's get it out. ”

Dean shakes his head in fear as I carefully bury him.

“Joe, let's wait a little longer. ”

It wasn't until another half hour after we were shy that we dug a hole again.

Everyone coughs when the ogre's face is revealed.

Well, I can't help it! The opponent is a monster enough for the lord to mobilize a punitive force!

Dean pierces his eye with a spear, just in case. Eyes were plucked out and green blood was flowing, but the ogre was unresponsive. He's really dead.

“Yi, I won! ”

“Hail!"

“You beat the ogre! ”

“I'm alive!”

We jolted with cheer.

Dean says, excitement.

“If you don't get rid of an ogre corpse, you get 500 Redinas! Plus, if you bring me the Ogre's head, I'll give you a royal reward. ”

“I know a guy who likes this stuff a lot. Even if I don't get it, I can get 1,000 Redinas, so leave the disposal to me. ”

“Is that true? Then I'll leave it to Confucius Carroc. And the distribution…… can we take 4 divided into 3 vs. 3 vs. 4? ”

Dean carefully asks.

Monster byproducts were distributed according to their combat contribution. Ahem, this fight is my greatest achievement, but Dean's group is four, so I think we can share it.

“Good.”

I happily said yes.

“Do your wizards agree? ”

The girl nods at Dean's question. By the way, you haven't given us a full name yet.

“I am Caroc Kunt. What's your name?"

I asked the girl.

“Sis.”

The girl replied by Najik.

“Nice to meet you, cis. ”

“ ……. ”

Oh, gross. She must be so shy. He's a little careless, but he's probably embarrassed. Oh, maybe…….

I said clear-headed.

“I'm sorry about your colleagues. Do you want me to help you recover the body? ”

The sheath shakes her head.

She walks towards the headless corpse of the dead. And then I pulled something out of my chest. It was paper. Looks like some kind of contract. … Huh?

Bloop!

Sis ignites the paper and burns it. Then he turns away without even looking at his colleagues' bodies. That was not a colleague, that was a good way to go.

Dean explains in a low voice.

“That wizard looks quite young. It's two circles long enough for the Thunder Chain to unfold, and it's probably just been stuck practicing magic. You don't know the world's trajectory. ”

Then I had some idea of her situation.

The bodies lying around were clearly mercenaries, judging by their weapons. In other words, Sis would have been a mercenary like them.

Perhaps the burnt paper is a contract to join the mercenaries.

The Magic Guild draws talented children and teaches them up to 2 circles for free.

Since the 3rd Circle, we need the support of teachers, but it's hard to get them if they're made of noble material or if they're not talented enough.

She probably had to leave the Magic Guild because she didn't get a teacher.

After familiarizing herself with the two circles, she came out of the Magic Guild and became a mercenary in order to earn money and live.

However, after not knowing the world's waters, he must have been deceived by those poor mercenaries and taken advantage of by making unfair contracts. It's obvious.

Poor little wizards who got off on the wrong foot in the mercenary industry and screwed up.

Suddenly, I feel sorry for the girl named Sissy.

“Won't you come with us until we dispose of the dead ogre? ”

In my question, Sis seems hesitant for a moment, then nods slightly.

All right. Now we're roughly clear.

I told Dean.

“Take the body of the ogre. ”

“I understand.”

“I'm going to faint for a moment. ”

“Yes?”

Pussy!

I collapsed.

It's been a long time since I've had any spiritual friendship. I can finally get some rest.

I feel faint as my eyes twirl. I embraced the pouring sleep like death.
