Chapter 44 (2/2)
His sword raised itself high in the sky to deal the final blow The blade glinted in the sun
The silent orc finally opened his mouth
“You, is that right?”
“What?”
The orc raised his gaze It was an intense gaze
”You”
The orc straightened and raised his greatsword He yet again took a step towards Higashi+ The orc asked, “You, can you just turn around and run away as you see people being slaughtered for no reason?”
“……!”
Laney felt like she had been hit with a hammer on the head at those words
Higashi+'s face distorted “What are you saying now, you bastard!”
”You don't understand” The oak grinned through his bloody face “It is you who is stupid, not me”
”Hah”
Higashi+ grinned and looked at the sky and angrily wielded his sword ”This bastard!”
The orc blocked with his greatsword Then the shi+eld slaether with the shi+eld But the orc couldn't get on his feet again Higashi+ walked towards hier
He intended to really finish this But Higashi+ was forced to stop
At that moment A wo black clothes that clung to her body appeared
Laney, it was her
Higashi+ was unable to th he felt from her
”Who?”
Laney didn’t answer Instead, she spoke to the orc ”Hey”
The eyes of the fallen orc turned towards her ”…You?”
”There is no need to knoho I am”
The orc stood up again However, it seemed like it was difficult to raise his body due to the accue to his body In the end, the orc stretched out on the ground Laney raised her palashi+ not to approach and asked the orc again
”Why are you fighting? It is a dog's death”
Laney couldn't understand it The orc, Crockta laughed Crockta squeezed out all the power in his body and got up again
[It wouldn't be unusual for your broken body to die right away]
[Nevertheless, you keep getting back up]
[I pay hoe to your spirit]
[Indoraded to Combative Spirit (Essence)]
“Only humans worry about such calculations”
Crockta raised his greatsword and gestured to Laney to move Laney turned sideways
This was the last one Higashi+ was in front of theed forward, Crockta whispered to Laney
“A warrior doesn't yield to injustice”
That was one of the laws of a warrior that he heard from Lenox, an oath that he had sworn to uphold
Laney didn’t answer It was no longer necessary to talk Crockta glared at Higashi+ It was tith to deliver a battle cry
”An honorable death is better than a craven life──────!”
His roar shook the area
Crockta ran forward Higashi+, who had paused at Laney's appearance, also got ready for the final clash The two rushed at the same time
At that moment, Laney reached out and hit the back of Crockta's neck
“……!”
Neat work! Crockta collapsed Laney grabbed Crockta's huge body
”What?”
Higashi+ hesitated He felt like Laney was a tough opponent and had been wary since she appeared Laney just sighed She cast a Shadow assassin skill
[Shadow Escape (Essence) has been used]
[It can't be used for another 168 hours]
Laney and Crockta's bodies started blurring They were like a shadow as they becaone from the previous scene Laney's body appeared far away froe
”Aigoo, aigoo Ah, why did I do that? What's going on?”
Laney grabbed her head It was an impulsive behavior
As she was groaning, Crockta was snuck a peek at Laney fro with satisfaction
That's right
He actually wasn't knocked out! Laney was strong, but that wasn't enough to make an orc faint He just pretended to be stunned He didn't know that she had such a miraculous skill, but he was able to achieve the result that he wanted
Had she filmed it?
Crockta s to be stunned as Laney glanced over hi continued A rab her heart!
If he asked for help, then Laney would've ignored hie of a warrior as about to die Even if she didn't help, Crockta would lose nothing He was a user He could live again He didn't care about death
In the first place, what he was trying to save wasn't his own life
He wanted Laney's help with Chesswood's plight
In order to win the war, he needed to use everything in his favor
