< Episode 16. Wow...bravo... >
A dark green giant with a height of almost 2 meters.
A gigantic physique, and unlucky destructive power befitting its gigantic size.
A monster that even well-trained knights cannot fight with their bare hands without weapons.
And a roar like a savage beast that makes all of that more terrifying.
"Grrrrr!"
In general, the fighting power of one Orc was barely comparable to three Knights.
Three times the size of the gray wolf.
However, the fact that one individual is three times as strong as another is a little different from simple calculations.
It was a reality that if you actually face it in person, it feels terrifying five times.
Boooooung, Quaang!
"Keugh!"
Henderson managed to block the orc's huge ax attack.
The tingling power that transcends the shield.
His arms were shaking after just one attack.
Henderson exclaimed urgently.
"I don't think I can stop it a few times!"
Pelas' gaze returned to the shrine's gloves.
First of all, I had to survive right now.
In order to break through the situation and survive, even a little better item was needed.
And that better item was right in front of my eyes.
Pelas quickly took off the priest's glove from the fainting mercenary's hand and put it on his own hand.
Just the right size, as if it were tailored.
The pleasant feel of it wrapped around my hand boosted my confidence.
At that moment, a new letter appeared before Pelas' eyes.
[You have obtained the item. The passive skill Seeing Eye is now activated and the item's hidden options are visible.]
Pelas cried inwardly.
'It was something like this. A hidden option that was not visible. It must have been in my hands to see it.'
[Gloves of the Shrine]
-Fixes the probability physical ability to the maximum value.
! Quest: Recognized by the elves and granted gloves will add new abilities. (Quest not completed)
-If you clear the quest and synthesize, the synthesis success rate becomes 100%.
-If you do not clear the quest, the shrine's gloves will be destroyed when synthesized with a 100% chance.
'Recognized by the elves and given gloves?'
In the original Winter War 3, Shingoong's gloves were taken from dead white bones.
Of course, there was no way there would be a situation where the elf would recognize him and give him gloves.
'Is it like dummy data?'
Often this was the case.
A story that was originally prepared, but the story is modified in the middle of development and only data remains.
The meaningless, virtually set data was called dummy data.
Of course, there were cases where dummy data was found in Winter War 3 as well.
Most of the dummy data was just useless, so people didn't remember it.
It was strange that there were people who cared about the effect because it didn't activate the story that had already disappeared.
'Of course, it wasn't there again.'
Anyway, even in the case of the shrine's gloves, it was probably a hidden quest that wouldn't have been necessary if it were a game.
However, as this became a reality, it seemed that an unexpected variable had arisen.
However, apart from the others, there is one thing that catches Pelas' eye.
It was the word elf.
'Accept the elf's recognition... Wait a minute?'
Felas' eyes rolled quickly.
In his head, the story of Winter War 3 and the current situation were intertwined, and the pieces of the puzzle were being put together.
and after a few seconds.
A wry smile appeared on his lips.
'okay. That's how it happened. ok, got it then it makes no sense If I do well with this, I'll be able to clear the Shrine's Gloves quest without difficulty, right? good. For now, I'll take care of the urgent payment first.'
Pelas lifted Apel.
[APEL]
- A famous sword handed down from generation to generation in Count DiMeo's family.
- Strength increases by 10.
-Increases Agility by 10.
! Quest: This item grants the following additional stats when Leonil and Nelsong form a party. (Quest completed)
- Strength increases by 1-10%.
-Increases Agility by 1-15%.
-Additional stats change randomly within the value for each attack.
From now on, Apel's additional stats would be fixed at maximum due to the synergy with the shrine's gloves.
Certainly, as soon as he lifted the sword, he felt his body lighten up.
Already, the extra stats of strength and agility were exerting their effect to the maximum.
Pellas now turned his attention to the rampaging orc again.
While he was preoccupied with the shrine's gloves, Havertz quickly took possession of the orc's back.
Havertz fiercely fired the daggers he had hidden in his arms.
Papa Park!
Accurate attacks on all vital points.
However, it was not easy to deliver a fatal blow to an orc with a small dagger.
It was because the orc's gigantic muscle armor perfectly wrapped around and protected vital points.
As a result, it only made him angry.
"Kuaaaaa!!"
Although small, the orc with vital organs turned around in anger and swung an ax at Havertz.
Booung!
A blow that gives goosebumps just by hearing it.
In addition, it was annoying to see how fast it moved despite its size.
Shasak!
Fortunately, Havertz was a bit faster, so his attack pierced the air.
In the meantime, this time Pelas ran past Henderson and onto the back of the orc.
"Huh!"
Apel's sword cut horizontally with a little spirit.
His sword scratched the orc's Achilles heel.
Chow!
The attack was shallower than I thought, but went deeper than Havertz's dagger.
Unlike other areas with a lot of muscle, the Achilles tendon was an area with low muscle mass.
In addition, the synergy between the Apel and the shrine's gloves created a piercing sound that was stronger than the power of the swing.
Thanks to that, it was a shallow attack, but he seemed to feel pain for a moment.
Beetle.
"Koooooooooooo!"
The orc turns around and swings his ax at Pelas.
This time, Henderson stepped in front of Pelas with his shield in front.
cooong!
Henderson, who was not enough with both arms, blocked it by putting it up to his shoulder.
Even if the center of gravity of the body collapsed by touching the Achilles tendon, the orc's offensive power was still the same.
Even though the Achilles tendon was cut, it seemed that the muscles that were attached to it were dirty enough to help.
"Kuk!"
Even in the midst of that, it was Henderson who skillfully dug in and blocked it so that he could reduce the damage as much as possible.
In these trivial details, the true nature of the veteran knight was clearly revealed.
Not missing that gap, Havertz plunged the dagger into the man's neck again.
"Keep it up!!"
Throwing wasn't effective, so Havertz stabbed the sword with full weight this time.
Embarrassed by the dagger lodged quite deep, the orc let go of the ax and reached out with both hands to grab Havertz.
Havertz quickly kicked him and threw himself.
However, it was Havertz who couldn't land properly because he was moving his body in a hurry.
Kudangtangtang!
The eyes of the orc who confirmed it flashed with life.
He seemed to be annoyed by Havertz, who was talking about him behind the scenes.
As he rolled on the floor, he had an expression that said he would kill him this time.
Pelas yelled at Havertz to stop him from charging.
"This way!"
However, the orcs have already had their eyes on Havertz.
He didn't even look back at Pelas's cry, focused only on Havertz and ran towards him.
"Kwoaaaaaaaaa!!"
"Cheet!"
It's almost like watching a train rushing by.
Pelas laid down his sword and ran with the orc.
Time was not enough for Havertz to recover.
Even at this moment, thanks to the shrine's gloves, the effect of Apel's additional agility was exerted, and Pellas was able to catch up with the orc at great speed.
Pellas swung his sword wide, using the same momentum as he was running.
Even with the first blow, he felt that Aphel's damage had definitely increased.
If I wielded it with all my might, it would surely inflict a fatal blow on him as well.
Booung! Chow ah!
"Keah uh uh uh uh!!"
It was as expected.
Deep wounds were carved on the side of the defenseless orc because his gaze was focused only on Havertz.
dump.
It was the moment when he fell to his knees for the first time.
Pelas did not stop there and used the recoil to swing his sword wide.
The orc's gaze returned to Pelas.
A gap created by a big swing.
The orc pinpointed the gap and stretched out his fist.
At that, Havertz and Henderson's faces became contemplative.
No matter what, there seemed to be no time to dodge.
For a moment, the eyes of the two saw the illusion of Pelas dying as blood clots.
"young master!!"
"No! It's dangerous!! Stop!"
Instead, a faint smile formed on Felas' lips.
It was only the orcs who saw it.
The man's expression changed to look ominous.
Nobody noticed, but Pelas made the move at the right time.
The timing to cancel the flat hit right away.
And just before the orc's fist landed on Pelas' face.
[Cancel normal hit]
His swinging swordsman stopped strangely, and returned to his posture as if there had been no attack in the first place.
Then Pelas, who corrected his stance, slashed the sword at the orc's arm joint like a guillotine.
Fire! Dang Kang!
In a single blow, his arm, as thick as a wooden pole, was neatly cut off like a tofu.
Pelas' sheer brute strength would not have been enough.
It was thanks to Apel's hidden abilities that shed light.
However, with the exception of Pelas, Havertz, Henderson, and even Orc were still unable to figure out what was going on.
Of course, Pelas had no intention of waiting for their consciousness to speed up.
Pelas laid down the sword he had taken down and swung it again.
Chew!
The sword that cut through the target stopped in the air, spraying blood.
"Kkeok! Kkak...!"
An orc who took a few breaths.
dang river.
The guy's neck fell off.
It was next that Henderson and Havertz came to their senses.
In the meantime, the body of the orc who had lost its head leaned over.
cooong.
Sounds as loud as its weight.
It sounded like a fallen tree.
Then, a new letter appeared in front of Pelas' eyes.
[Complete Achievement: Decapitate the Orc.]
-A title given to those who decapitate an orc with a single blow.
-150 extra experience points.
[Your level has risen.]
- Player has reached level 11!
-All stats increase.
[The penetrating eye skill level has risen.]
-The penetrating eye skill has reached level 2!
-Through Eyes can now see some party member information.
Fellas finally sighed.
"Whoa..."
Havertz, on the other hand, stood up with a slightly dazed expression.
"Bocchan... what the heck..."
Henderson's expression was not much different from Havertz's.
With that expression, he put the shield on the floor and clapped his hands.
clap clap clap
"Wow...bravo..."
