"Truth be told, that guy is a monster."

Being able to notice it while concentrating on my swing is probably the result of my daily training.

A giant with a height of more than two meters. Sharp fangs protrude from the corners of the mouth.

"Orc monsters are much more dangerous than goblins and kobolds."

He temporarily stopped his cultivation and hid against the trunk of the tree.

Luckily, I was downwind and the orcs turned away and didn't seem to notice me.

It was about 300 meters away from the oak tree, and we hid in the trunk of the tree and got closer.

At the same time, he never neglected to find his fellow orcs.

"As you get closer, the orcs seem to be engrossed in their search for food."

They devour freshly sprouted tree shoots and edible wild plants and seem unwary of their surroundings.

It is only natural that orcs are unguarded, and orc-eating monsters do not live in the mountains around here.

"Wild bears are occasionally seen, but they seem to know that if they fight, they will hurt each other, so they rarely fight directly."

"Do you really think you're the master of this forest?"

"Goblins and kobolds don't go where there are orcs."

"If there are no other orcs, the only danger here is the orcs in front of you."

He kept an eye on the direction of the wind as he slowly closed the distance.

"My feelings have fallen into submission."

The Necklace of Death

When I was about thirty meters away, I put the death collar in the shape of the doughnut that killed the goblin around the orc's thick neck and threw the stone I picked up.

The stone clicked and hit a tree near the oak tree.

"Boogie!"

"Did you do it?"

Startled by the sound of stones, as soon as the orc moved, the blade of the Death Suffocator bit into his neck, and just as he thought the blood was about to spurt out, he was knocked away by his large glove-like hand and shattered.

The nape of the neck was cut off, but the thick skin and fat of the oak hindered the process, and the blade of the death suffocator did not reach the carotid artery.

"One more time, death suffocator."

"Boogie, Buha!"

The same way was destroyed, blood flowed from the neck of the orc, but even from a distance, the wound was far from fatal.

Luckily, I haven't noticed my presence hiding in the trunk of a large tree.

"I want to know what's going on"

The reason why the orcs can't be harmed is probably because the force of death suffocation is not strong enough, and there is not enough momentum to make them retreat.

If you stab the tip of the gun with a strong force, you can deal a deeper blow.

"The question is how to get motivated."

"No, do you want to be a bait?"

In order to make the orcs aware of my presence, I used the steps to descend to a height of about 2 meters and shake the branches to make a sound.

"Bush?"

"The distance to the oak tree is about 20 meters."

When he sensed the sound and turned back, he made a spear and stabbed him in the neck as if to provoke.

"Ora, hold on, you pig bastard."

"Bushich!"

Realizing that he had been harassing his opponent just now, Oak let out a roar of rage and rushed forward.

While waiting for the orcs, I activated my stamina-boosting magic, ready to dodge them at any time.

"Puff puff!"

The orc rushed over on all fours, raised his front legs and lunged at it.

"Spear!"

"Phuket"

I pulled the orc as close as I could, holding the tip of my gun to my throat and fighting back with all my might.

The orc's massive body was pierced by the throat and passed through me, and I dodged and fell to the ground.

He stood up and kept his distance as he stepped back, keeping an eye on the orcs.

The right half of the orc's neck was severed, and blood gushed out.

Despite this, the orc stood up on its hind legs from all fours and found me watching it.

I felt a chill down my spine when the orc's burning and angry gaze pierced me.

"I wonder if this will kill me"

"Puff"

Just as he took two steps towards me, the orc's eyes began to lose their vitality.

When the terrifying fury was extinguished and the defocused eyes became like glass balls, the orc's massive body shook violently and fell to the ground on its back.

"Phew, you're scaring me."

Despite being completely free from the orc attack, my back was soaked in cold sweat.

Wait until the blood spurting from the oak tree's neck with the heartbeat stops, and then slowly approach.

Orc meat is used for food, so if I take it home, I can sell it for a good price, but I can't take it with me.

The purpose of the demolition is the magic stone and the heart.

Even a goblin's heart can produce such an effect, so eating an orc's heart should increase its magic even further.

Unlike when the goblins were defeated, there was a lot of blood and the smell of blood in the air.

"Tear it down before the other monsters get close."

"Well, unlike goblins, they seem to have a lot of fat!"

As soon as I stepped on it and took it apart, the orc's body twitched, and I was startled.

"Uh, he's dead, isn't he? Isn't it resurrected again? ”

Even when I was a goblin, my body moved a little, but my arms never jumped near the top, and most importantly, the size of the orc made me even more scared.

When I disassembled the bayonet, my limbs jumped again.

I had no choice but to press the orc's limbs with my shield and begin to disassemble.

"Wow an amazing layer of grease, lard, lard"

A knife that slice through the orc's abdomen, which was stained with fat.

A normal knife can quickly become dull, but since it's a knife made with celestial magic, you can remake it multiple times and use a brand new blade.

Anyway, the orc's body is huge, so I cut its belly to the size of a disc, used the strength of my body to put my arms into it, and finally took out the part containing the heart and the magic stone.

The magic stone taken out of the flesh is sprinkled on the remaining snow nearby to wash away the blood.

Having said that, when the village was crusading against the goblins, there were also people who used water-based magic weapons.

"There will be more opportunities to crusade monsters in the future, so it might be a good idea to buy one when you go into the city."

I put the magic stone in my backpack and put my heart in a box made of celestial magic.

After using the remnants of snow to remove the orc blood that had attached to my body, I wiped off my protective suit.

"With this, I shouldn't smell blood."

With the heart of the orc, I moved to the swamp where the heart of the goblin was eaten.

Located on top of a rock in the middle of a cliff by the stream, there is little need to worry about being attacked by monsters.

I prepared gloves, an apron, a cutting board, and a kitchen knife with celestial magic, and slice open the hearts of orcs.

When it's cut in half, there's no parasitic appearance.

Carefully, carefully, cut the orc's heart into thin slices.

After cutting open the other half of my heart, I put the knife down.

"Then I'll go."

I put about three pieces of oak hearts together and tossed them into my mouth.

When I bit down, the taste of blood spread in my mouth.

"yes, I forgot if I wanted ginger or garlic."

The taste of the Orc Heart is richer and more mellow than the Fairy Heart.

"That's not bad, goo-goo."

As I got carried away eating the slices, I suddenly had a reaction.

"Gujigi, it's dangerous"

When I was Fairy Heart, my stomach was as hot as it was when I stole my parents' eyes and drank whiskey in my previous life, but this time it wasn't.

It's hard to find the right metaphor, but if you swallow a lot of dried wakame, you might feel that way.

A piece of the orc's heart that fell into the stomach swelled with tremendous force, and the overflowing demon spirit forcibly expanded the demon veins and blood vessels, corroding the whole body.

Speaking of which, when I was training in basic physique enhancement magic, Mr. Zeor told me that if the magic essence gets out of control, the blood vessels will burst and the heart will explode.

"Maybe he's in that kind of rage right now."

With the abdomen as the center, the body seems to be forcibly pushed away, and the whole body screams.

"If this continues, the blood vessels all over my body may burst, and my heart may also explode."

"Ga"

I crouched on the rocks by the stream, unleashing celestial magic on as large a scale as possible, trying to consume as much mana as possible.

The towers that reach the universe, the rooftops that cover the sky, the shields that are harder than diamonds, and the supersonic arrows, whether they are actually activated or not, are just images that consume a lot of magic essence, so I continue to use celestial magic.

I don't know how long he continued to use the Heavenly Attribute Magic, but somehow, he finally saved his life, but his body was already in a mess.

The uncontrollable demon element effect in the demon veins and bloodlines has extended to the body.

The muscles all over his body seemed to be in sharp pain, and he let out a groan as soon as he got up from his lying position.

"I think it will take about five minutes to get up from there."

The only magic she could use was the steps she took for granted in her daily life, and if she let her guard down, it seemed to disappear.

"I don't want to use body enhancement magic because it's so scary."

"It's good that you saved your life, but you still have a lot of questions ahead of you."

It's a long way from the village, in the mountains, and there's even remnant snow around.

With my current physical condition, if I spend the night in the mountains like this, it may be very cold in the morning.

"In any case, if that's not possible, we need to move to a safe and warm place."

It took a long time just to get down the rocks by the stream.

In general, you will feel pressure just by using the steps you can without consciously using them.

I picked up a branch and used it as a crutch to go down the mountain.

Nowadays, it's a place where you can use both footwork and physical enhancement magic to run down like a fly, but you have no choice but to choose a place with good visibility and walk on the ground.

In a state where both celestial attribute magic and constitution enhancement magic cannot be used normally, encountering goblins and kobolds is over.

As I walked, I paid more attention to my surroundings and listened carefully, but fear welled up in my heart.

"No, it's scary, scary, don't come out of anything"

Whenever the wind blows the branches and the birds flap their wings, my body trembles and the pain spreads throughout my body.

Even though I was in the middle of the snowy mountains, I was sweating profusely and couldn't stop.

"I'm impatient, but I'm making slow progress."

As it darkened, his agitation grew, and excessive tension disrupted his breathing and thinking.

I was really lucky that I didn't encounter any monsters until I went down to the village.

It is possible that the unattended orc corpses were used as bait.

When I entered the village and saw someone walking towards me, the tension suddenly exploded and I collapsed on the road.

I felt someone running up to me calling my name, but I didn't have the strength to answer.

"You ate an orc's heart, didn't you?"

"Yes"

If I am interrogated as soon as I wake up, I have no room for excuse or deception.

Mr. Zeor came to ask me, and I slept in a separate bed where Mr. Zeor lived.

"I don't know where you got this knowledge, but you know how dangerous it is."

"Yes, I thought I was going to die."

As soon as the Magic Riot began, Mr. Zeor nodded and told him that I had used up the magic of the massive attribute magic.

"If you don't, you're going to die. Listen, the heart of an orc, even a guy who has been scouted by the Knights, can cause the essence of magic to spiral out of control, become irretrievable, or lose a life. It's a miracle that you survived safely. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"Well, I did it without knowing it, so I can't help it, but don't do it again. Very good. ”

"Yes"

It seems that I have slept for three days and three nights since I had a breakdown, so I had to cancel the trip to the departure ceremony.

The pain in my body disappeared, but when I got up, I felt dizzy and couldn't act as an escort at all.

It seems that Miguel himself is going to listen to the pass/fail decision.

Olivier will be attending the departure ceremony this year, so I'm sure he plans to meet again in the city of Ibro.

When I got home, my mother scolded me and forbade me to go into the mountains.

"Well, I have no intention of going into the mountains until my health recovers, but even if I am told that it is not good, I plan to go."

"If I don't pick herbs, Grandma Carissa will be in trouble."

After clearing the floor, I started to move, walking, jogging, swinging.

"Your muscles look good." Although I was hurt, I may have returned to my original level as I could move almost without discomfort.

"Magic isn't of much use, though." The balance between celestial attribute magic and body enhancement magic was disrupted.

"Even if I eat a goblin's heart, my magic will be out of balance." This time is different from that one.

The scope and strength of the celestial attribute magic are strange.

For example, if you try to harden it to a size of 30 centimeters, you will end up with a lump that is 3 meters square.

Even if you try to harden it with a material like rubber sheet, it will harden.

As far as physical enhancement magic goes, it's too much to be enhanced, and it's too terrifying to use.

I would have liked to throw a rock lightly, but in reality, it hasn't reached the level of adjustment for a major league fastball.

"It feels like you're doing something you can't do on the ground."

It's a terrible mistake to think that as long as the mana index increases, you can fight alongside Horacio, who is being targeted by the knights.

"I wonder if this will go back to the way it used to be or if it is the way it is now?"

It's a lot better now in terms of simple features, but it's a lot easier than before in terms of overall usability.

"If I can't get back to normal, I think I'll have to adapt to the situation."

"Currently, thumbs are also banned.

A year ago at this time, I was just thinking about how to increase the power of magic, but now I'm worried about how to reduce the power of magic.

"I think it's a very ironic situation, but what's your magic index right now?"

Since the departure ceremony has been cancelled, if I have the opportunity to go to Ebro again, I would like to go to the guild to check it out.

"It would be nice if Horacio's data from a year ago was omitted"
