Chapter 57 (1/2)

Kim Sujeong frowned. It was the orc champions who raised dust as they ran. They were stronger than the orcs who had come before. Kerenos inevitably had to call the Sylphid Knights to fight together with him but it was hard. It was due to this guy...

[Lv. 200 Blue Tooth Orc Chief, Gorba]

Gorba seemed to have the ability to reduce any physical damage by 80%. His health hadn’t even been reduced by 10%.

“Crystal, thank you for the buff.”

“I got it, Andrew. Have strength.”

Andrew also came with the Sylphid Knights. He was swallowing his anger because of his lack of strength but Vice-Captain Becker asked for his help and he had to pull himself together. Andrew followed without hesitation.

“Kuweeeeeoh!”

There was another earthquake along with a disastrous monster. Gorba roared. The voices of the knights in the surroundings could be heard.

“Damn! Too strong!”

“What is going on with his body? The attacks barely do any damage!”

“Dammit!”

At present, the only person who could effectively damage Gorba was Kerenos. He was gasping for breath as he dodged Gorba’s attack. Kerenos shouted, “Sylphid Knights, handle the other orcs!”

“Sir, but...!”

“I have an idea so go ahead!”

The knights gave small nods and scattered in all directions. Andrew and his guild members moved together. They dealt with the orc champions around them. Edward opened his mouth from next to Sujeong, “If only I could use my father’s necklace, this wouldn’t have happened.”

‘Necklace?’

Kim Sujeong looked at Edward’s neck and saw a white pendant. She saw Edward holding onto it tightly and felt empathy. It was because she also had a necklace that was a keepsake of her father. Of course, his pendant was a small crystal while her necklace had a photo of her as a child. Kim Sujeong asked, “What is that necklace?”

“It is my father’s necklace that was used to defend Windia.”

“Can it be used to defeat that orc?”

“Yes, but I can’t use it.”

Kim Sujeong confirmed the information of the necklace.

-The information is unknown.]

‘This is a star piece?’

She was so surprised that her breath was taken away. ‘Star Piece’ was a term for anything that contained the power that a constellation used in their lifetime. It was relatively easier to find than a Star Fruit so some of the top rankers had one. The top-ranked players even had several. In any case, the Star Pierces contained so much power that they were sought after by many players. Serious quarrels or a war could break out and now such an object was in the hands of the little lord.

‘It might be possible if this is a real Star Piece.’

This was when Kerenos approached. “My lord, I think I’m going to have to use it.”

“If you use it...”

“This is the best option for the moment. Please give me permission.”

“......”

Edward was anguished as he bit his lip. It was unknown what was causing it but he seemed to be trying to make a decision. Gorba was still out of his mind when Edward opened his mouth, “I’ll allow it.”

“...Thank you.”

At the same time, Kerenos cried out, “All knights, bring the orcs over here!”

“Understood! Lure the orcs east!”

“Lure them east!”

There were answers shouted from all over the place. The orcs flocked from all sides and Kerenos said, “Take the lord out of here. It would be better to run away as far as possible.”

“What do you mean? What are you going to do?!”

“There is no time. If you don’t want to be caught up in it, run away!”

Kerenos ran forward at the confusing words. He was luring Gorba somewhere.

Edward was still biting his lip. “Everyone except for Kerenos, retreat.”

* * *

A giant two-handed axe smashed into a building, raising dust. Kerenos barely managed to avoid it and gritted his teeth. “Shit. When will the old man come?”

Gorbas was going crazy as he moved his giant body. His eyes were dark and letting out a black glow. At first glance, it was obvious that he was being manipulated.

“You said it would be fine if we got rid of the one called Ragneos.”

The old man had said that. He had believed it and eliminated Ragneos, only for this to happen.

At this moment, the knights ran over. “Captain! We’ve brought the orcs from the north!”

“Knight Dale! I’ve brought the orcs from the south!”

“A-Andrew also brought them!”

‘Who is this person?’ Kerenos shook his head but quickly remembered Andrew. ‘Ah, yes. He is that person I saved earlier. He is a pretty tough person. By the way, are all the people with him dead?’

He shook his head lightly and could see the orcs running. Kerenos told them, “You should stay away now.”

“Sir, but—!”

“I’ll help you!”

“I want to be with you!”

“You idiots. Leave if you want to live!”

However, it was useless.

“I won’t go!”

“Protect until the end!”

“We are the Sylphid Knights!”

‘These idiots.’
