151 [3-8] August August August (2/2)

But a little girl like you is no match for the Great Chief. ......

It's no different with the Flame of the Forest at your side.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

It seems that Forge's presence is a big reason why N'Vadgi does not dismiss René's sudden appearance and demand for obedience as nonsense.

Follow the strong and be the bravest soldier you can be. That is the pride of Odette's warriors.

Odeh is the strongest, so he became the chief. No one else was stronger than him so he became chief.

If you're stronger than Odé, I'll follow you.

That's good. So how do we decide who's stronger?

I don't know. If it's a fair decision, we'll follow your rules.

It's settled. A warrior's duel. That's how it's always done, Chief.

A battle dedicated to the god Vulcanet.

The whole tribe prays through the night and fights at sunrise.

The god Vulcanet mentioned by Nvadgi is not a god worshipped by men.

In the realm of human belief, there are many 'child gods' under the great god, and these gods send 'angels' to guide the people.

In the same way, on the side of the evil gods, there are many evil 'demon gods' under the evil gods, and these gods control the 'demons'.

Vulcanet is a demon god. Rene doesn't know much about him, but he seems to be a god that is worshipped by the ogre race, who are all about wild battles and the resulting destruction and carnage.

In other words, Nvadgi's proposal is a dedication match to be held before the gods.

Judging from the atmosphere, it's not a ceremonial fight, but a very serious fight of the 'death is not an option' type.

If Rene defeated Nvadgi there, the tribe's ogres would certainly have nothing to complain about.

”I've already decided to use this ...... weapon.

This is the only weapon I will use.” Nvadgi said, picking up something huge from behind him and flinging it at Rene.

It was not a stone pillar ...... that rolled in front of Rene, but a huge club carved out of a large rock. It was painted in a colorful primary color scheme.

It was a gem that could be called a ”heavy weapon” even with the Ogre's massive frame.

”I don't approve of soft weapons like magic. If you defile the duel, Odeh will show no mercy.

”Forgiveness?　If you fight with all your might, my army will win.

You can force me to obey you, but remember, I'm giving you your way.

”Maybe so.

But try it. We will fight to the last man, without woman or child, and you will rue the day you fought with us.

”Hmm.

...... Well, okay.

N'Vadgi was unfazed by the challenge.

Rene looks down at the cudgel, which is clearly much heavier and more voluminous than he is.

I'm not going to do it now. Can you hold ......?

The huge stone cudgel is still thick, even with the relatively thinly shaved handle.

Rene lifted it between his hands.

It may look normal from the outside, with the head resting on the neck, but Rene's body is now a Dullahan.

The Dullahan form, with its ability to specialize in hand-to-hand combat, boasts monstrous strength.

He picked up a stone club and swung it once over his head, and Rene struck the ground with the tip.

It's light.

”Wow. ......

It's so light,” Nvadgi exclaimed with amused admiration.

You, prepare the wine and ritual tools.

Hunters, go into the forest. Hunters, go into the forest and catch the offerings. Tomorrow night will be a festival, and at dawn we will offer up our war.

Under the Great Chief's command, the ogres of the village began to rush about.
