8 Episode 7 Repel Oak.txt (2/2)

”Behold, Vellums ...... and you are now ......

Chief. Please step back, sir, for your own safety.

Nu. ...... Nunu.

It was too strange for the five-year-old Vellums to say, but it was said with so much force in his eyes that somehow the chief obeyed.

”Hey, Bellamus!　It's too dangerous, so back off!

Aretha saw what happened, and she looks pretty concerned. She looks pretty concerned.

”I'm all right. Now stay back and keep back, mother, for your own safety.

Na......!

Well, boys.

Bellamus turned to the orcs and said in Orcish, ”You're lucky.

”A stroke of luck. If you had killed that goblin, Melda, I would have killed you. Walk away now, and you will be forgiven.

”You, Ningenka ......?　Hmph, I don't know why Ningen is in a goblin village. ......

The orcs are not going to take my advice.

He approached slowly towards Vellums, and

You'll regret it in the afterlife for sucking up to us.

Screaming in anger, he raised the gold bar and swung it down at Bellams .

The club did not ...... hit Bellamus' head .

''Nah!''

Bellamus hasn't moved.

He only moved his right hand.

With that one hand he caught the club as hard as the orc could swing it.

”Magic has many uses. It can improve your physical abilities, your defense. I haven't yet mastered the art of increasing my magical power, but with my current level of magical power I can easily stop an attack like yours.

While saying this, Bellamus clenched his left hand and struck the metal rod with his fist as hard as he could.

A tremendous sound could be heard. Then the club cracked and shattered.

Ba-boom!

There is no way to defeat me in this war.

Vellum's magic surged through the orcs, overpowering them.

The orcs had an illusion. An opponent so much smaller than they were. And yet it seemed so much bigger.

It was as if they were facing a dragon.

I'll tell you again. Leave.

The moment Bellamus said that, the orcs slackened and began to sweat.

Orcs were demons that would swagger over anything weaker, but wimp out when they met something stronger.

Under pressure, the orcs ran away.

Only, just before they escaped...

Remember.　I don't care how strong you are, you're no match for our boss, King Lydos!　You'll just shake and sleep, at best!

And then he left a very petty discarded word.

Belamus heard those words and thought about going after them, but decided to stop and follow them.

Even if he chased down the orcs, King Rydes would still attack us anyway.

Then I decided it was better to find King Rydes' place and attack first.

If they attacked the village, the goblins would be in more danger than ever.

Before he went off on his tail, Bellamus spoke to the village chief, who looked very serious.

The chief was aware of our earlier exchange. Tell everyone in the village.

Well, wait, wait. ...... vellums, my lord. ......

Don't worry. I won't let them harm our village. I'll bring down the enemy leader. I will bring down the enemy leader.

Bellamus said, and began to follow the orcs.
