13 The Orcs Second Death (1/2)
”C-crap! Vio watch out!”
”Violet-chan!”
Tania and Lyssia both cried out to Violet in warning when seeing the orc turn towards her.
Asterios and Koi noticed the change and bombarded the King with much more ferocity than before.
Meh, I have to be honest with you but Koi's talent as a ranger is actually pretty decent! Since the ranger class is a max of thief and archer, it's hard focusing on both skills at once. But to my pleasant surprise, he could grasp the theory very well.
Ah, but his narcissistic personality is just too annoying...
The boss mercilessly swung the heavy club at Violet, one hit and there was no doubt that she would be instantly killed. The priest paled while frozen in fear, watching her own death draw nearer.
”Asterios! Save Vio!”
”I can't, I won't get to her in time!? Koi's too busy saving himself already!”
All the other party member grimaced in despair when they realized that the mission would end in failure without Violet's healing capabilities.
Fumu…...DID THEY SERIOUSLY FORGET ABOUT ME!?!?
…..I'm not even in the mood to do anything anymore, tch.
Muuuu...but Vio is nice, so I might as well.
Pushing off from the branch I had been observing on, I shot towards the orc and kicked his hand, knocking the club onto the ground before it could reach Violet.
Hah! Beat that, I better not be forgotten again. Fufufu.
I swiftly took out an arrow and stabbed it like a spear directly into the big guy's eye. Planting my foot on the end, I pushed it in deeper while vaulting off his head and then backflipped in front of Vio.
Equipping my bow, I rapidly shot the orc's vital areas one after another, successfully taking down 2% of the bosses health in an instant.
Pffffft, he looks like a porcupine! Hah!
...
Eh? Why is no one moving?
Hey! I'm working hard here stalling the boss but no one is taking advantage of that?! Is this party crazy?
”Hey hey! Why are you guys just watching?” I chided while hooking my arm around Violet's waist and narrowly dodging the enraged orc's fist. ”Hurry up and kill the boss!”
Hearing my stern tone of voice, the party quickly snapped out of their daze and once again started attacking the boss.
Finally, geez.
Letting go of the priest, I agilely jumped into another tree and accurately threw a knife that stabbed into the back of the boss's kneecap. Which momentarily stunned it for two seconds and promptly saved Koi from a dangerous punch.
See, I'm a life saver.
Hiding in the foliage of the tree, I avoided catching the orc's aggro and then nocked three arrows at once. Of course, I made sure no one saw me doing this or else I would have become way too suspicious.
Not that I'm not already…
The arrows flew true to their target and hit both his eyes and wounded kneecap.
The boss lost his balance and his own momentum caused him to crash onto the ground right on his face, causing the arrows stuck on him to either snap or stab deeper.
Ouch…...King of the Forest, I congratulate you for evolving from a porcupine into a kabob.
Ack, I feel bad now, but I didn't want to steal the last hit from the party.
”Asterios,” I said while still hidden in the tree. ”Please end its misery, yeah?”
Trying to spot me but not succeeding, he gave up and nodded.
”Of course, that will be what I do.”
Oh dang, what's with this solemn atmosphere? Did I do this by accident?
I don't know any more?!
I watched Asterios cut off the orc's head with a very troubled expression on my face.
