Chapter 46

Ogres

Speed .

It wasn’t a feeling that he was used to . He was really used to the heaviness from the mountain . Even if it was only in his mind, the heaviness that he felt was always slow him down .

He had to use various types of skills to try and withstand that heaviness his strength obviously, inner power, and magic . He used Shadowless in the midst of all that, making the progress slow . His speed was nothing compared to what the skill was meant to be .

But not now .

It wasn’t the mountain anymore . The heaviness that bothered his didn’t exist at all . The freedom that he felt now, it even surprised him .

Don’t be surprised . Sungmin calmed himself and tried to be cold . It was his first real fight after all .

ogre . Not even an actual ogre . What crazy magician made this thing, he didn’t know, but it was a chimera . An chimera that had an ogre as its base . Like the ogla of perfection of species, and chimera with an ogre as its base was close to surpassing the ogre's species limits .

The eyeball followed Sungmin . The ogre couldn't scream threateningly, but the shivering lips and the moving nose was threatening him . It was an ogre, the strongest monster that moved with two feet .

That monster was looking at Sungmin ile it was going to kill him . The glance itself was violence . Sungmin’s skin felt the murderous intent from the ogre .

Dying .

It’s trying to kill me

I can’t die .

He couldn’t die . That was result that he ended up with . So the body moved according . His hands grabbed the spear . He saw the left hand of the organ moving .

The hand . It wasn’t an ogre's hand . Maybe another monster’s hand? He didn’t know what monster it was, but the sharp nails swiped towards Sungmin .

“Careful!”

Lude scared as a warning . He knew . Sungmin carefully moved without freezing . His foot slid quickly forward .

Shadowless – 2nd step .

Sungmin’s shadow danced . The form of the Shadowless appeared . His step caused his shadow to dance, and his body disappeared . The ogre's nail didn’t touch Sungmin's body .

Sungmin grabbed his spear carefully . Using his entire body was the best way to use his strength . He learned that from Wijihoyun, and the life in the mountain made this an easy habit for him . He added his inner strength as well

Ran, na, zhe . The zhe meant that stabbing . The Amethyst Cloud’s aura filled the spear . The spear, added with the spin of his body, stabbed towards the ogre .

High Heavens . With the Chase Soul . The ogre’s body didn’t break even after being stabbed with that . It only moved back a few step, and Sungmin felt the power in his hands .

‘Strong . ’

Sungmin finally understood how strong the skin of the ogre was . He didn’t think that he would be able to beat it with one strike, but he just wanted to check how strong the skin was .

‘No way . There’s no scratch even after being hit with that…?’

Lude was the one that was suprised . Sungmin’s stab to Lude’s point of view was perfect . Could I have blocked it? No, he would have chose to doge . That spear stab with that strong of a spin, added with the aura… blocking that would have been stupid .

But that ogre did and held on . Even if ogres were strong… it was unbelievable .

‘No, that’s not a normal ogre . Chimera… is there a black magician near here?’

Lude hesisited . As for his thoughts… it would be the best trying to turn away . ogre chimera were an unknown, so there was no reason to try and fight it and face the dangers . The money that the villagers put out for the ogre conquest was nothing compared to the ogre chimera conquest .

‘No, it’s too late… crud . It doesn’t make sense . ’

Lude walked forward . With the ogre already attacking, it wasn’t going to let them go easily . It was better to fight them together .

[It’s fine . ]

When he was about to go, Sungmin’s voice came inside his voice . Lude was surprised and looked at Sungmin’s back . Sungmin was standing ready with his posture low .

[Are you crazy? IT’s a chimera! Not just an ogre!]

[I know . ]

[Know . . . . F*ck! You’ve never even fought an ogre! I haven’t even seen such a monster before! Looking as it blocked that attack, it’s stronger than a twin head!]

Twin head . It was an ogre with two heads . Sungmin couldn’t feel the meaning of that . He hadn’t faced a twin head before .

[I can do it]

Sungmin answered in his head . The ogre didn’t stop as the conversation continued . The ogre with his lips sewed was out of his mind with hunger . It was afraid of being hunted so it didn't try to invade the village, but it wasn’t a nice enough creatures to let a human go like this . Especially when it was in this hunger state .

“cRRRR!!!”

The ogre yelled loudly . The murderous intent surround his body and made the hair on his skin rise . Suddenly, Sungmin stopped breathing .

Not because of the roar, but Sungmin stopped moving .

In the stopped breathing, Sungmin moved . His shadow moved again . Sungmin pulled up a stronger aura . The Amethyst Cloud’s power built Sungmin’s body .

High Heavens- 2nd step .

The dancing shadows stabbed his spear . The stabbing was just like the thunder splitting the sky . Each stab had spin with power added on to it .

The thick skin of the ogre didn’t make the stabbing feel like a stabbing . But it still harmed the ogre . It moved back . It’s face wrinkled . The skin didn’t allow the spear stabbing to go through him, but it could feel the pain . The ogre screamed again and swung his right hand

He saw it .

He didn’t just see it . Slow . He saw it slowly . No, that was wrong . The attack wasn’t slow . Sungmin was just too fast .

Even if the ogre’s attack could kill him in one shot, there was no point if Sungmin could dodge . Sungmin spun around his spear .

The spear wasn’t just a stabbing weapon . It was good to know how to use the entire spear . Sungmin’s head was filled with Wijihoyun’s teaching . It was already 4 years ago . Sungmin had never forgotten her .

She was his first friend and his first teacher . There was no way he could forget her .

The hair of the spear was the base of the spear, and it could also be used as a weapon . The spear head was steel .

It would hurt if he hit something with steel . Especially if there was aura along with it .

Bang! The spear became a blunt object to hit with . The spear head hit its chest . The ogre breathed carefully, Sungmin saw the face, the eyes .

It was baffled .

The other part of the spear . The head of the spear was the sharp end of the spear . The string that was below it was used to block the blood from flowing down and used to distract the opponent .

He knew . He remembered .

The string of the spear moved . The red string danced . It madd glances move that way . The color made the opponent distracted .

Sungmin wanted a distraction . The string made the ogre's eyes distracted .

Yes . This was something else . This was a false alarm

Bapp!

The sharp end of the spear broke through the ogre's eyes . The ogre screamed . Even if the skin was strong, the eyes wasn’t . The eyeball that was looking at the string didn’t catch the stabbing of the head .

The left eye was lost . He tried to stab it harder, but the ogre's frantic attacks made Sungmin let go of the spear and move back . Sungmin used Shadowless to take a few steps back and put his hand in his pocket .

Sungmin pulled out another spear . And then, the ogre broken the spear that was in his eyes . His left eyes was bloody .

Sungmin didn’t hurry . He carefully touched the spear that he pulled out and breathed .

If he couldn’t kill it in one hit, he could just wound it over again .

And Sungmin knew .

A wounded monster would be more frenetic .

‘That kid . ’

Lude had no words . That kid… he was a No Class who was summoned 4 years ago? That made so sense . He trained for 4 years and broke the limit . That made sense . There were genius that could achieve that .

But the real thing was different . Real thing… was all about experience . Wasn’t it the first time that he was fighting with an ogre .

‘How could he be like that?’

Lude saw something other than an 18 year old inside Sungmin .

He saw an experienced mercenary .
