Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 81

Orc Battle (5)

[Gubogaaaaaaa!!]

The Orc Soldier who had been hit by my poisoned arrow collapsed as he gave a heart-wrenching scream, still holding his face. Soon, half of his face turned blue-black around the left eye where the arrow had pierced. His life was already gone with just that shot.

The Orcs, who had been screaming until then, quieted down after seeing someone die in front of them. This poison was given to me with a warning after I returned to my master’s place, but with the power of this poison, it was no wonder why she had to warn me a lot.

If I had used it incorrectly, it’d be me who had died instead of my enemies.

[Guboaaaaaaa!!!]

After bringing the Orcs back to their senses, who had started to get frightened with its roar, the Orc General glanced at me as I stood on the roof.

It was a huge Orc over 3 meters tall, and was wearing countless metal rings instead of armor on his naked upper body, while wearing armor made from giant insect shells on his lower body.

The Orc General considered me an enemy because I killed higher ranks.

[Orc General][Rank 5]

[Magic Power: 173/190] [Strength: 347/710]

[Total Combat Power: 883/1457 (With Physical Enhancements: 1234)] 39% down

[Condition: Debilitated]

Flipping up my skirt, I pulled a knife from my thigh holder and aimed it at the still confused Orcs. Soon the two Orcs screamed as they were both pierced through the eyes and throats respectively.

[Gaaaah!!!].

The Orc General reacted instantly to my attack on his subordinates and rushed at me, blowing off the entire roof as if to strike me from below with a hexagonal black staff in his hand.

A two-meter-long pitch-black hexagonal rod, a weapon that was impossible for me to destroy, let alone parry. But sorry, never did I intend to fight you fairly.

I had started to disengage the moment it ran toward me. I flew to the other side of the abandoned house, riding on top of the smashed and flying debris in the air, and landed on my feet, cushioning my leg muscles and joints.

*Dogoon!!!

[Buooooh!!!].

Shortly after, the Orc General chased after me, smashing through the remaining walls.

But I was not there. Using Illusion as bait, I ran back to where the Orcs had been, and with the same momentum, I stabbed the black dagger into the face of the Orc.

–The forty-second Orc.

Powerful poison not only could kill, but also could make those who saw it afraid. I targeted the (Bow) user first, not only because it was a higher rank, but also to set an example to frighten others by the brutal death of such a strong individual.

As soon as I pulled the dagger out of the Orc, I rolled to the side and kicked the next Orc to the jaw, killing it by a follow-up piercing attack to its brain.

I then threw my black dagger at another Orc stabbing it in the head, then used it as a springboard to jump and stab another Orc in the neck, which was looking at me with frightened eyes…

–45th body.

[Gabaaah!!!]

The earth rumbled indicating the approach of the Orc General, spreading around Level 5 Intimidate, along with the sound of its roar. One of the Orcs that was awakened from its confusion raised its stone axe and attacked me.

Sensing that the distance was a bit close, but the timing was almost right, I cast Dark Magic while using Concealment.

“–Illusion–“

Instead of using Illusion the normal way to fool my opponent’s eyes, I instead used it to trick it’s night vision. I dodged the Orc’s attack by utilizing that illusion, at the same time made the Orc receive the attack of Orc Lord when it tried to dodge it.

–46th body.

[Gaaaaah!!!]

The Orc General roared in anger as its subordinates were being killed one after another. But I was already running toward the dense residential area of the village, using the place as obstacles.

A group of Orcs, especially if there were high-ranking individuals, was not an opponent one could fight alone or stall. Under normal circumstances, it was appropriate to ask the Adventurers’ Guild to request help from the Lords’ army to exterminate them.

However, when the General was alone, they would be ways to fight it. If one could ignore the fear that felt like they were being tortured to death or killed, there would be ways to fight it alone, especially for a Concealment type like me.

One of them was to pour poison into beverages, which I had started from the beginning. Another would be this guerrilla warfare.

As soon as I entered a dense area of abandoned houses, I used Concealment to match my magical element with the surrounding atmosphere, soon I blended into the darkness. In an open area, but where the line of sight was blocked, that even an Orc General should not be able to find me easily.

The next moment, I heard a roar from the house next door, and the wall of the house that I could see from my window was blown sideways. Perhaps the general was destroying the abandoned house because he could no longer follow my presence.

Again, I cast Illusion and ran along the roof of the abandoned houses, then tossed a knife from behind the Orc General that started to move after me by tracing my attack.

The Orc General, hearing the sound of a wind slash, turned around and flicked it with his hexagonal staff. It was then followed by a knife, which had been sent from the shadow of the Orc General, piercing its shoulder.

Perhaps because of his weakened status, even the knife could perfectly give a stab.

[Gaaaaah!!!]

The Orc General’s hexagonal staff shattered the wall of the abandoned house where I was hiding.

I evaded it just in time to jump out of the window, and then I stood up with my front body on the ground and jumped straight into the window across the street.

*Dogon!!!!

The next moment, the abandoned house I was previously in was smashed by the hexagonal staff, and the Orc General who was out on the street again lost sight of me. He continued to destroy the surrounding houses as if to vent.

As expected of that mixture, its combat power was down, and its skills and senses also dropped. If I used other poison than the chemical mixture I used, even minute quantities would have been detected immediately by smell.

I moved away from the rampaging Orc General, sneaking up behind one of the Orcs that was searching for me alone, and assassinated it by piercing its neck right across.

–Forty-seven bodies…

In this state, it was better to take care of the other Orcs without forcibly attacking the Orc General.

If I continued to dispose of the Orcs one by one, and continued to inflict even the slightest amount of damage on the Orc General, I could see the slim chance of victory. I could only believe that I would be able to do it.

(Kuh!)

At that moment, I jumped out of the window of the abandoned house, feeling a killing intent and magical power.

*Dooon!!!

A huge mass of magical power passed over my head lying down, and I was blown away like a leaf of a tree blown by the wind.

“…Kuh”

What happened…? As the impact passed, and the noisy dust that I could see in my night vision cleared, I noticed that the ten or so abandoned houses had been mostly blown away, leaving their foundations behind, and had been transformed into what looked like a vacant lot.

…Perhaps it was the Combat Skill of Level 5 of Staff Art, which I didn’t even know…The Combat Skill that I knew up to Level 4 should have only increased the power of a normal attack by several times, but Level 5 could make such a big change?

[Bummmoooo!!!]

As I kneeled on the spot where only the foundation remained, the five remaining Orcs surrounded me, keeping a wary eye on me, so as not to let me escape.

The Orc General with a hexagonal staff on his shoulder slowly approached me.

This was Rank 5… I could only run away from the battle, just like with the battle with Grave, but I didn’t expect to have such a big gap even with the Orc in a weakened state.

[Gaaaaaaaah!!!]

Regardless if it was trying to impose its power or an attempt to avenge its killed Comrades, the Orc General gave orders to the remaining Orcs under its command to attack first.

[Bumooooooooooo!]

[boooooooooooooo!!!]

The Orcs attacked me all at once. The fear of poison was almost meaningless when the Orc General, their ruler, was close by.

I deflected the rusty tip of the spear with my black dagger and dodged the stone axe that came at me from behind by rolling forward.

“!?”

As I pulled out my throwing knife, a chunk of metal flew at me, piercing the ground, which I barely avoided, while the club of the Orc that was aimed from behind me was repelled by my gauntlet.

“Guh!”

I protected myself with the gauntlet on my left hand, but my strength was still reduced by about 10%.

The thing that flew at me…was it the metal ring the size of a bracelet that Orc General was wearing? Apparently, the Orc General was trying to keep me from attacking.

Should I use Dark Magic? But I wondered if I could really trick him by using illusions when I was being observed so closely?

Even if I could produce a few Illusions, I was uncertain if I could avoid all the attacks without being damaged, and I would be wasting what little magic I had.

The Orcs again attacked, and as I ducked to dodge the spears, I prepared my dagger, but at that moment the Orc General’s ring was thrown at me once more.

“!!”

Because my concentration was spread out trying to dodge both attacks half-heartedly. I ended up receiving a graze to my side with the ring attack, and a spear that stabbed my shoulder from behind.

“–Illusion…”

I had to use it, even if it would be useless. However, just as I was about to use the magic, a ring was aimed at me again from the Orc General, and I was almost kicked by another Orc which I managed to dodge at the last moment, but it caused the magic composition to be canceled.

Rolling on the ground, I was attacked by a flurry of rusty spears, I could only continue to avoid as I crawled on the ground like a cat.

The Orcs surrounded me again with vicious smiles on their faces. I was already not allowed to stand up, let alone attack.

…Come to think of it, the first time I met Viro, I was cornered, crawling on all fours and clutching the earth with my hands. For what purpose was that…?

I see…

“…I guess I don’t have to staff to two legs…”

[Bummoooh!!!]

I shouted out, and one of the Orcs, alarmed, poked me with its spear.

But I was not going to force myself to stand up anymore.

Kicking the ground with one foot from a prone position, I fixed my position with the weight of my body, and did a spin with one hand on the ground. I ducked the tip of the spear and wrapped the thread of the pendulum around the Orc’s leg, ripping it with sharp threads like a cat ripping with its claws.

[Buoooooh!!!]

The strange movement I showed caused the Orc’s spear to stop moving for a moment, but the bracelets still flew out from the Orc General. Though it was already too late.

“–Heavy–“

I used magic in that slightest split second, and the confused Orc with strings wrapped around its legs tried to hastily pull back its legs. Using that moment I got up as if jumping from the momentum of the pull, and thrust my black dagger between the eyebrows of the Orc with the strings wrapped around its legs.

–The forty-eighth Orc.

The Female Thief I had fought before used her soft body to evade and attack with surprise. In a scouting position with little destructive power, it was necessary to muddle the enemy’s mind.

[Gaaaah!!!]

The Orc General, leaning forward, threw a ring at me again. Following that attack, I evaded the Orc’s club that was also aimed at me from the other side at the same time as the ring approached.

I changed my position to rotate with the weight of my kicking leg and waist, and with the effect of Heavy, which had changed the direction of the weight, I slipped between the legs of the Orc, and while wrapping a string around its leg, I kicked the Orc in the groin with the blade in my boot.

[Gaaaaah!!!]

Finally, the Orc General jumped out with a hexagonal staff.

As I fell backward to dodge the attack from the hexagonal staff, I pulled the string hard and then kicked the staggering Orc in the direction of the hexagonal staff that pierced its head.

–The 49th body.

The legs of the Orc General were trying to trample me as I crept to the ground, I pulled the string that was still entangled in the two Orcs and glided away.

Using the effect of Heavy on myself and Orcs, I latched myself on the string and stretched it, then I launched myself like an arrow from the stretched string towards the Orc General. I then used all the muscles in my body, when I was approaching at high speed, I slashed the Orc General’s face.
