Episode 142 OrcKing

The OrcGeneral noticed us and turned around. Its mouth smiled. I felt that this monster liked to fight.

We spread out in a semicircle to surround the OrcGeneral. Four people, excluding Yukari, activated 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield'.

Amane fired a SeventhJavelin as a test, and the OrcGeneral swept it away with its greatsword. Chika jumped in and unleashed a SeventhBlade. In this room, the ceiling height was only about 6 meters, so it was not possible to use a 'High Blade' that swung down from directly above.

The OrcGeneral blocked it with its large sword. However, it was not completely blocked. The OrcGeneral was knocked back.

Then Alisa added another blow. She hit the OrcGeneral in the air with a SeventhPush. The OrcGeneral's back slammed into the wall of the room and it bounced off.

Thinking that this was her chance, Amane activated a SeventhThunderArrow. A powerful, electrically charged arrow flew towards the fiendish-faced monster.

The OrcGeneral rolled on the ground to avoid Amane's attack. As it stood up, it jumped towards Yukari. It was a huge leap. The OrcGeneral jumped a sword's distance away and raised its greatsword towards Yukari.

"Leave it to me!"

When I shouted and jumped in front of Yukari, I activated QuintP-Shield. The large sword hit the D-Particle Durable Shield and made a dull sound.

At that moment, Alisa, Amane, and Chika hit the OrcGeneral with a SeventhPush. The monster, which received three attacks at the same time, flew through the air while rotating, hit the wall, and spat out blood.

It seemed that it was an offensive power that even scale armor, which was said to have high defensive power, could not absorb.

Yukari, who was behind me, jumped out and aimed at its leg with a SeventhThunderArrow. Yukari's attack that hit its leg, which was not protected by its magic equipment, sent a large electric current through the whole body of the OrcGeneral.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

The OrcGeneral screamed. And then, it threw its greatsword at Alisa who was closest to it. Alisa activated QuadP-Shield. The large sword that came flying while rotating hit the shield and bounced back.

"Back away!"

Chika shouted and activated a sideways attack 'High Blade'. If she couldn't swing down from above, she could use the size of the room to unleash a SeventhHighBlade that would sweep sideways.

The D-Particle Blade that exceeded the speed of sound cut into the OrcGeneral stuck to the wall. The impact cracked the wall behind it.

Yukari activated 'Prominence Nova'. A mass of high-heat flames enveloped and burned the OrcGeneral. That was the final blow.

The OrcGeneral disintegrated into pieces and disappeared. After that, a magic stone and something black was left behind.

I only used 'Protection Shield' once to protect Yukari. I gave up the fight to let Alisa and the others gain experience, but they won so easily that I was disappointed.

I thought they would struggle a little more.

"Grimm-sensei, you defeated that guy by yourself. That's amazing."

"No, all of you are amazing."

"Thank you, Grimm-sensei."

Yukari bowed her head deeply and thanked me.

"It may have been unnecessary help, but that kind of attack can be more powerful than expected. Rather than that, let's check the drop items."

We confirmed the dropped items left by the OrcGeneral. It was a black magic stone and the same black scale armor as I was wearing.

Alisa picked up the black scale armor.

"It might be a good idea for Yukari, whose defensive power is most worrisome, to equip this."

"But, even though I'm equipped with a blade-proof cloak."

"When it comes to attacks by the OrcKing, a blade-proof cloak is the same as paper equipment."

Alisa gave the black scale armor to Yukari. The black scale armor had higher defensive power than the steel lizard leather armor that Yukari was equipped with.

When Yukari changed her clothes she let out a strange voice.

"Hiyaa!"

Amane tilted her head and asked her what happened.

"After equipping the black scale armor, a switch popped up in my head. Does Grimm-sensei always control it with this switch?"

"That's right. It's easy once you get used to it, so you should try it."

Yukari seemed to be trying to turn the switch on and off.

"Then, let's take a little rest and then face off against the OrcKing."

We sat on the floor, drank our favorite drinks, and took a break. It seemed that OrcKnights couldn't enter this room.

"Is the room where the OrcKing is located higher than this one?"

Chika seemed to be concerned that her 'High Blade' was difficult to use.

"The cathedral where the OrcKing resides seemed to be a large dome-shaped space, so I think you can use 'High Blade' without any problems."

Chika smiled and nodded in relief.

"Okay, let's go."

We headed to the cathedral where the OrcKing was. It seemed that the way to the cathedral was to enter through the door in the back of the room.

We opened the door in the back and went out into the aisle. There was a white door at the end of the passage. It looked like the entrance to a cathedral. I used magic that I should activate in advance in front of the door, and then opened the door.

When I moved into the cathedral with the feeling of someone pushing my back, the door seemed to close and lock. I looked around the cathedral. In a dome-shaped space with a diameter of about fifty meters, there stood an OrcKing who was two and a half meters tall and was equipped with golden armor.

In its hand was a large spear with a three-pronged tip. A Magic Weapon called a Trident. Its whole body exuded an aura that made him the King of the Orcs, or rather, its presence.

The OrcKing glared at me and thrust out its Trident. I panicked and activated SeventhP-Shield.
