With its entire body covered in blue scales and an o out froaze between hu its mace towards the nearby Monster
The moment unidentified Monsters descended on the city, the bank’s deputy branch enious idea on the spot and activated the security syste And thanks to that, custo- Kwang- Kwang-
But as the word suggested, it was just a temporary respite The Mana-reinforcedunder the strain of constant barrage from the Monsters
There could only be two outcos continued this way The hts arrive, or the whole building ht collapse from the Monsters’ attacks instead
”…Fuu”
The deputy hed There were too many people to protect here However…
SFX foriaps between the ht break apart at any moment There really was no tier clenched his fists tightly and shouted out
”Everyone, stand up and head for the bank’s vault!!”
The one place in the bank that best protected money was its vault, and it also could just as well protect people, too
But that idea came about one step too late Before anyone could act…
Kwaaaaang!!
The Mana-reinforced ave in first
SFX for a Monster’s footsteps
The serene footsteps of the Monster that contrasted with the chaos of outside, rebounded within the walls of the bank and it was enough to give despair to all the people present here
The face that resembled that of a person, a body of a lion and a pair of bat-like wings on the back - a hideous Chimera-type Monster
An upper Mid Tier Monster infaht - the Manticore
The creature entered the bank hat looked like a smile on its face, and then leisurely scanned the crowd of terrified hu a child in her arms first
”…”
Even as the Manticore approached her, the o as the flood of fearful tears fell out of her eyes
”Keuhehehe…”
However, Manticore seemed to enjoy her appearance, instead It licked its lips and broke out in a laughter The sound co from the crooked lips on that human-like face also sounded pretty close to that of a person
Property of Fantasy-Bookslive
outside of it, it is stolen
”Euhahaha!!”
Manticore didn’t wait any further The Monster continued to laugh out in that evil and vileinto tens and then to hundreds of strands It was preparing a cruel and vicious attack that would turn every single one inside this bank into meat paste in an instant
And as people closed their eyes in fear of the horrible deaths to co spirit that could not be described in words rang out to everywhere
SFX for loud, powerful footsteps
And right after that, accoiant silhouette rushed towards the Manticore and swung its weapon
”Kkheu-eck!!”
The weapon smashed into the face of the Manticore as it folded the air; and the Manticore was launched into the deeper parts of the bank like a kicked empty can of soda
”””…”””
The person, no the lifeforle shot was… an Orc And it was an Orc with its body covered in blue scales
It was a creature fanise it - also known as the Demon Orc
Silence fell on the bank at this sudden entrance of an unlikely ally
Of course, that silence didn’t last for long Monsters poured in from the bank’s now-broken doors And the Orc fir everything that ca its ot easily torn off like pieces of fabric, and the torn bits flew around in the air Blood spurted out like fountains and coated the interior of the bank, leaving behind a strange and sticky ht But, for the citizens staring at the back of this Orc, they sensed this inexplicable feeling of trust
”Keu-ehehe Heuheu…”
‘…Sht It didn’t die’
As the Orc was fighting, the laughter of the Manticore ca turn of events
He tried to kill it with a single shot so he even activated the ‘Warrior of Reversal’ and the ‘Fierce Strike’, but… Manticore did live up to its infamy
SFX for heavy footsteps
He could hear the sounds of a lion running behind his back However, the front of him was also packed with Monsters so how could he pay attention to his back? He then decided to leave everything to Leviathan’s Scales
Khwajeek!!
But contrary to his hopes, the fangs of the Manticore easily penetrated the Leviathan’s scales At the scalding pain bursting out frouish
”—!!”
And that pain soonthe Manticore’s tail and threw it against the wall, hard
But that meant he could not deal with the Monsters in his front
This time, it was the turn of a ‘Spartoi’ True to its fame as the undead skeletal warrior forht was considerable
SFX for a blade cutting against skin
The cold bone sword swung by the undead Monster left a deep wound on the Orc’s side
‘I gotta get out of here…’
After receiving two critical blows, and with the ti to an end, his consciousness became dizzy Thankfully, he still had a means of escape in the form of ‘Whirlwind Dash’, so it was now prudent to stop here and leave everything to the Knights…
”Krroooarr…”
But before that, he just had to sly-as-sht Spartoi apart or he wouldn’t feel better, so he swung the mace hard at the head of the bony Monster
SFX for things scattering
The Monster’s craniu all of the Orc’s strength exploded into tiny bits and got scattered in the winds Then, strength abandoned Sae-Jin by the bucket loads, h the Manticore still lived, this was clearly his lier rushed in
Orcs detested retreating more than defeat; and hated defeatlike the instinct of its race, or the chain of logic for Orcs that had to be followed no matter what - from somewhere deep inside hier whipped around violently
”—!!”
It was just impossible to contain all these emotions and so, Sae-Jin let out a powerful roar without even realising it
The Orc then tightly grasped the ht in that moment…
An unexpected alertfloated up to his view Simultaneously, the sleepy consciousness sobered up and the excruciating pain from his wounds subsided immediately
