164 Episode 164 "I tried to cover the ears of a monster that doesnt listen to people with maximum output.".txt (1/2)

He was running in the woods.

Mission aborted. Abolish the goblin emissary plan. Make your escape a priority.

He' who activated his skills while running changed from a 'black beastman' to a 'goblin'.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do this.

It's not possible to follow a demon without both power and wisdom.

I reaffirm my mission. To weaken the sub-humans. I must obtain the beastman's treasure. My guild's power is weakening. In the meantime, I need to gather enough materials to make contact with the Demon King...

The Wise Goblin put his hand to his forehead.

My memory is confused. Maybe it's time to go back to his original form.

His skill is the ability to transform. He can take any form and use the abilities of that form to some extent.

But the cost is that his memory and ego are dragged by his form.

This was the case when he took the form of a goblin for a long time. At one point, he found a beautiful, beautiful girl among the goblins and almost asked her to marry him. When I became a beastman, I almost lost my mind as the ball rolled around in the air.

...... goblins and beastmen are both monsters to me.

The ”Wise Goblin” looks back as he runs.

The enemy is chasing us. Don't worry. I have a plan for when the time comes.

It's not like he was calling himself a ”wise goblin” for nothing. I have an insurance policy in place in case the plan fails. It's not a problem. My skills are perfect. When I morph into my next form, I'll be able to kill them and steal away.

I will complete the great dungeon and meet the great demon king. ......

And the 'Wise Goblin' changed his appearance.

He sucked in a breath and shouted.

”──── Vuo?

The answer came from across the forest.

As expected. Attacking this 'Beastman's Village' was part of the plan.

I've already researched in advance what kind of demons live in the surrounding area.

It's my crisis. You will help me, right?　Brethren.

He chuckled and began to prepare to intercept the enemy.

──────────────────── ...

”Rita (Recipient: Nagi): Report, Master!　There's a demon approaching!

I received a message from Rita, who is ahead of me, from the ”Share Consciousness (Mind Linkage) - Revised”.

Me, Cecil and Rita are chasing after the escaped 'Wise Goblin'.

The enemy no longer takes the form of beastmen. But they are fast. It's a good match for Rita.

Maybe they have a combat cheat skill.

''Nagi (Recipient: Rita): do you know what kind of demon it is?''

Rita (Recipient: Nagi): Probably ”Forest Orcs”. There are 10 and a few of them. They're slow to move, but their durability makes them a cumbersome opponent. ......

”Forest Orcs

A pigman who lives in the forest. They are good at hunting in groups and sometimes work in conjunction with goblins.

They have a strong sense of nawareness and do not tolerate those who enter.

They have a thick subcutaneous fat that makes it difficult for weapons to pass through them. They are also very durable, so be careful in battle.

'Rita (Recipient: Nagi): watch out ......, it's already here!

A 'forest orc' jumps out from among the trees.

With a rusty sword in his hand, he slashes at Rita. But──.

”Rita: More is coming!　”Perception Instantaneous Movement [Away King Quickly]!

Rita's body shuffled, and she avoided the orc's sword.

''Vo?''

By the time the orc swung his sword down, Rita was no longer there.

''Too late!''

Gulp!

”Whoa!

In an instant, Rita spun around behind her and kicked the back of the 'forest orc' in the head.

The forest orcs rolled on the ground with a bounce.

'...... vo-o-o-o-o'

...... Are these guys controlled by the 'wise goblins' too?

I readied my magic sword, Leggy.

The 'forest orc' is shaking its head and trying to get up.

Speaking of which, just now I heard a scream in the forest.

Maybe that was the voice calling out to the forest orcs. The beastman's village is far away from the demon's habitat. If they don't call out to you, the demons won't come to you.

''It's really tricky ...... changeable people,''

Rita comes back to me and Cecil. You came back to escort us over here.

Before I knew it, we were surrounded.

The 'forest orcs' are gathering from all over the forest. They are all staring at us without question. I've been looking deep into the forest a few times, which means there are still 'wise goblins' over there.

Cecil. Is your magic attribute still 'wind'?

Yes. Mr. Nagi.

Cecil said, so I disclosed her status.

'Wind magic.'

Level 1: 'Sound Blows', 'Wind Arrows', 'Wind Ball'

Level 2: ”Wind Wall

Level 3: ”Summoning the Wind Spirit

'Shall I change the attribute back to 'flame'?　Mr. Nagi.

Cecil looked up at me and said.

''With the 'Ancient Language, Arrow of Fire,' we can open a path without killing the orcs.

I could do it, but there are too many obstacles in this place.

Even if you fire the 'flaming arrows' in rapid succession, about half of them will hit the trees. It's a waste of magic power, isn't it?

It's just too much trouble if the 'wise goblins' escape. I'm going to use obstacle-less magic to neutralize them all together.

I look into Cecil's face.

Cecil, let's check it out. The water version of the 'light' is 'blocking the opponent's five senses with water', the wind version is 'blocking the opponent's five senses with wind' magic, right?

Yes. It's just that it's not your eyes that will be blocked, but your ears.

All right. Cecil, prepare it. Rita, use 'Perception Blink' to break through the 'Forest Orcs' and stall the 'Wise Goblins'. But hide the beast ears.

”...... the beast ears?　So you want me to be in human form?

I'll send you an email when I'm ready, and then you have to come back as soon as possible. I'll email you when I'm ready, and then you'll have to come back as soon as possible. Great.

Yes, master!

Rita declares and starts running.

We are surrounded by 8 ”Forest Orcs”. They all point their weapons at Rita at once, but...

That's why I said it's too late!

”Google?

Rita avoided the attack with a paperweight and kicked the 'forest orc' in the jaw (jaw).

The impact to the skull cannot be erased even if the flesh is attached. Kicking the fallen forest orc's body, Rita jumped and dropped her heel into the second body. Easily incapacitated, she runs to the other side of the forest.

Now, I have some work to do.

''Vo-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Activate.　'Jusui Kenjutsu, LV2!'

Shurin.

The Demon Sword Leggy received the sword of the 'Forest Orc'.

Leggy's 'I'll do it! A joyful voice sounded out.

The 'Jiu-Ji Sui Sword Technique' that has reached level 2 has improved its receiving ability. When I received Veil's ice sword before, I was able to flip it 180 degrees and strike back.

If you do the same thing to an orc's sword...

Gurung.

Ggaaaaah! ？？？？

The orc's body made a half-turn.

'Stupid!　You're 400 years too young to try to attack the Lord!　Go away!

With the orc's sword caught, the magic sword Leggy made another half turn.

The Orcs, whose power was completely swept away, crashed into their fellow Orcs with the momentum of their sword swinging.

''Ggaaaa!''

Here you go. Eat.

I shove a piece of dried meat into the mouth of the overlapping orc.

As I unconsciously swallow it, I speak to the orc in Food Negotiation.

'Why did you guys attack us?'

”Fuzagelna!　It was Gizamara Darougah who attacked our Lord!

I'm pissed.

I see. So the wise goblin has been transformed into an orc lord.

And he asked the orcs around him for help. Since we were chasing him, we were the enemy. The Forest Orcs, who have a strong sense of Nawallian consciousness, reflexively came to the rescue.

That means the people inside the Wise Goblin know a lot about demon biology. I wonder what they are.

”Demons are simple. Demons are simple, so it's understandable that they are deceived.

I don't think you'd understand if I told you this.

Me and Leggy the Magic Sword nodded at each other.

I mean, it's tacky, isn't it, 'Wise Goblin'? He's taking advantage of all the demons and beastmen.

It seems like it's best to neutralize them quickly and leave the rest to the beastmen.

''Nagi (Recipient: Rita): Rita, how about that one?

”Rita (Recipient: Nagi): Kenjagoburin - Ashidome, chu!　This guy - he's a pain in the ass. Orcs are clinging to me and ...... ahhhhh!'

Behind the trees, I see Rita fighting.

She seems to have succeeded in stalling the enemy. However, there are other orcs, so stalling them is the limit. That's why the message of the ”consciousness-sharing” is so faint.

I'll reduce the number of orcs here too.

Activate...　''Jiu Sui Kenjutsu (Jiu Sui Kenjutsu) LV2, plus Delayed Combat (Delay Arts) LV2'' -!

Shururin. Shururin'!

I use Juju Sui Kenjutsu to dodge the orcs that come at me one after another and roll them over.

Then, after striking out, I unleash my ”Delayed Combat”.

”Gogaaaaaaaaah!

Three orcs are brought together and blown away with a sheathed blow.

The enemy crashes into a tree and stops moving. But there's no end to it.

─ ─ Where's Cecil?

”'The breath of the great wind... deprive the enemy of all his senses...

When I turned around, I saw Cecil put his hand on his chest and chanting wind magic.
