Chapter 526
My prediction was too optimistic
“The saving grace is that they are slow on their feet… But I should probably weaken them more.
Even though I had a plan, it was too dangerous to put it into action now.
If I could slow both of them down a little more, or separate them, it would be best. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙚𝒂𝙨𝙩.𝙘𝒐𝙢
“Hyah!! Tsk!”
“Gyua!?”
“Gyuo!”
For now, I targeted the orc on my left side, and swung my sword at its leg.
As it was moving, my aim was not precise, but I succeeded in slashing its thigh.
In the meantime, the other orc swung down with its arm.
Without losing momentum, I rushed forward past the orc I had cut, and then caught my balance with a hand on the ground.
Had my movement been delayed even a little, the orc’s arm would have hit me. The thought made a chill run down my spine.
Thankfully, the other orc was staggered, and did not attack. Though, the wound was not deep at all…
“I’ll have to take my time and fight…”
I glared at the approaching orc and prepared to do what I had planned.
Now that our positions had changed, I could see Ms. Claire and the others, who seemed to be worried about me.
…It’s fine. I can defeat some orcs. I muttered.
“Hah…hah… They’ve slowed down a lot. …But so have I.”
“Gyuu-gyuu-gyuu!”
“Gyuuaa!”
After some time…which was really just a few minutes, I was able to cut the orcs a few more times while dodging their attacks. One of the orcs was bleeding from both legs now, and it was not able to charge due to the pain.
As for the other one, I had also cut one of its legs a little, but not enough to stop it from charging.
Also, they were both incredibly excited and angry.
Perhaps I had provoked them too much, but there was no way to defeat them at the same time.
As I caught my breath, I wondered if it wasn’t time yet.
“Gyuaaa!!”
“Gyuuuaaa!”
“Here it comes!”
The less wounded orc now charged towards me.
The other one came as well, but it was much slower.
As this was my chance, I moved back in order to lure in the charging orc, and waited for it to arrive.
Yes…that’s it…separate…
“Gyaaaa! Gyuaa!?”
“!”
Once it was about two meters away, I rushed to the side of the charging orc.
As it was running so fast, it was unable to change direction as it went past me.
It was surprised by my sudden disappearance, but I ignored it and raised my sword while running towards the other orc.
“Gyuuooo!”
“…Hah!”
“Gyu!?”
It raised its voice in alarm and tried to swing at me with its arms. But before it could, I plunged my blade deep into its chest.
“Gyuaa! Gyuuaa!”
“Woah!”
But I was not able to take it down in one hit. And it continued to swing its arms in an attempt to hit me.
I suppose it was moving by instinct, but they had incredible strength, and a direct hit would do a lot of damage.
I had meant to target the heart, but it seemed like I had missed… In the first place, I didn’t even know if their hearts were in the same position as humans. 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝗹𝐞𝗮𝐬𝘁.𝐜𝐨𝐦
As I thought of such things, I let go of the sword and moved out of the orc’s reach.
“Gyuaaa!!”
“Gah!”
I moved back and then turned around, only to find the other orc facing me.
However, it was moving faster than expected, and was raising its arms as it charged.
By the time I had registered the danger, its arm was already coming down on my left side!
As I could not dodge it, I raised my left arm, thinking it would be preferable to a direct hit.
I heard the bones creak… Even if they didn’t break, there would likely be a crack…and it hurt so much.
My vision shook.
But if I didn’t do something now, the orcs would be free to crush me to death!
“Damn it!!”
I gritted my teeth and bore the pain. And then my hand went to the katana at my belt and unsheathed it.
“Gyuooo!”
“Gah…hah…hah…”
“Grau!?”
“Mr. Takumi!?”
“Papa!”
“…”
The katana went deep into the orc’s stomach, and blood poured as it screamed, and ran past my left side.
This idea of using my sword to weaken it and then switching to the katana…it came from my experience fighting against Deam.
In order to do this, I had focused on one orc, trying to slow its movement before separating them…
