"It missed.."
"Amazing!!"
"O!"
"Gu? Gu!!"
It seems the ogre mage gave out some kind of order and I heard the sound of ogres running off to the rear. At the same time the ogre mage that ordered it moved to follow behind them. The direction I was heading has one ogre mage standing on guard with a club glaring hatefully at me, one that seems to be an ogre mage that I hit in the chest with the flame spear still screaming, and the corpse of the first ogre that I killed that was used as a shield.
Idi~ot, as if something at your level could fire off a spell that fast.
I smiled seeing the ogre mage that tried to start concentrating but gave up right away.
It tries to use the club in it's hand to attack me as I approach running along.
I roll to avoid the wide swing and circled around behind it while cutting it's right knee.
"We've already defeated three of them. We're taking on four right now! Four of them are heading that way!"
Just in case I shouted in a loud voice warning them.
"Ah!"
This voice is probably Koritto. It took the shape of an assault but the four ogres that went towards the main group of {Sun.Ray} are just the quota I had mentioned at the start, or rather I've already taken responsibility for the things I said. If they can hold out for around 30 seconds after hostilities start then it should be about a good time.
I leisurely avoid the club the ogre mage is swinging on one leg and lightly cut it's arm. At the same time I used the spell {Air Hammer} right in front of the ogre smashing it and while it was flinching with it's eyes closed I stabbed my sword into it's right chest. I quickly jumped back and after finding another opening cut at it. It seems that the Ogre Mage that took my {Flame Arbalest Missile} to the chest is still alive but considerably weakened and already on the verge of death. It's just for a short while but I can relax and fight here.
I glanced back in the direction I came from and it was just as Ralpha jumped to swing her axe down on the right shoulder of an ogre. After taking an attack from the axe the wound almost seemed to burst open sending blood flying in the surroundings. Gwine and Basutoral are fighting safely as well. I'm sure they could already finish it off at anytime if they want. It seems that the three suckers have wounded the ogre somewhat and they're all still moving energetically.
"Gobu!!"
""Haruku-san!!""
""No way!!?""
Oh my~ are you really going to retreat abandoning your wounded allies so easily? That's unexpectedly cruel. But, it's also a good strong decision to avoid being wiped out as well. However, for Harukein.Fumizu to be the first one taken out. I did wonder how a battle mace with a reasonably short reach would do against ogres but I guess first off was you huh? Since he can use the shield skillfully I thought he would hold out a bit longer.
"Agu!!"
""Meri-san!!!""
About 100 meters away a blood-stained battle was taking place.
Haruku is collapsed facing the ground, Meiria is leaned over with her back to a tree while holding her side. In the vicinity of that there's three ogres holding their positions and a bit to the rear is what seems to be an ogre mage yelling gyagya giving out orders.
{Sun.Ray} has completely lost their proper front line with power while Koritto and Kimu are standing at the front line desperately trying to hold the three ogres in check with spears. Misu and Kamu have taken up the role of attackers with magic and bow.
Of course the three ogres aren't unharmed either but it's not like they're using paralysis poison so they're still in good condition. The ogre mage has started concentrating. I could only confirm Kimu but she's making an expression close to despair.
"Uooo~!!"
I raise my sword above my head and swung down cutting the ogre mage from behind with all of my power.
"Gyaaa~!!"
A raspy scream overflows from the ogre mages mouth as the concentration for it's magic is cut off. While it was flinching I cut it down to size and then stabbed through it's heart from it's back finishing it off before running to the main group. The ogre on the right suddenly threw the club in it's hand at Misu in the rear and it ended up hitting her in the stomach when she was aiming with her bow. Koritto thought it was his chance to thrust with his spear but he was blocked by the ogre in the center and it was parried. There the empty-handed ogre on the right lunged forward and grappled with him.
"Gooo~!!"
Koritto raises a battle cry. The Laios skill, Instantaneous huh?
While Koritto was brushing away the club with his spear, the ogre in the center grabbed the spear Kimu thrust forward with it's left hand. There it was stabbed with an arrow but it's movements only dulled just a bit and it pulled the spear as if it was nothing at all. The ogre on the left swings down it's club intending to crush Kimu's head.
"Kimu!!"
Someone shouted but I'm sure none of them will make it in time anymore.
Excluding me when I use wind magic on my back and fly over in an instant.
"To~!!"
I flew into the ogre on the left body slamming it's left shoulder shifting the trajectory of the club it was swinging and immediately swing my sword towards the back of the ogre in the center.
"Aa!!"
Even then it seems that the ogre's club swinging towards Kimu crushed her right arm as it's bent in a strange direction while Kimu is holding her heavily injured right arm and writhing around on the ground in pain.
When Koritto tried to say something he was interrupted by Kamu's shout.
