The Necromancer Commands Slaves, Not Undeads

30 – Winter and the Chaser (6)

Dorothy jumped into the battlefield. In a hectic place where undead and orcs were mixed, Znul completely destroyed an undead bear and then moved his head.

Dorothy entered the battlefield and naturally broke through, suffocating the orcs blocking her path. In an instant, she arrived at the center where Znul was.

The orcs, who had a hard time blocking the undead, were busy dealing with the bears and skeletons in front of them, and Znul and Dorothy were able to face each other in the center.

Jnul raises a huge axe.

Znul, a huge orc who looked three times Dorothy’s size, snorted at her.

“Do you think you can be my opponent?”

Dorothy swung her rapier in the air. Then, the blood of the orcs on her rapier splattered into the air.

She did not respond to Znul’s story, but took a serious stance.

Znul was different from the enemies Dorothy had faced so far. This is because the enemies Dorothy had faced so far were beasts and monsters that were only large and strong, and did not have her skills like Znul.

Honestly, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried.

But I know Dorothy’s skills best because I have been closely observing her for the past six months.

She is a genius. Although she only held her sword for two weeks, she neutralized the bear with her own skills, and when she held her sword for over a month, she made such a great contribution that even her knights could not be appointed in her punitive force.

She has excellent discernment to find the enemy’s vital points, improvisation and reflexes to overcome a crisis at any moment, and a combat intelligence that knows what to do in the current situation.

In addition to her excellent swordsmanship skills, her natural talent for combat was making her even stronger.

As someone who is not well-versed in combat, I would dare to judge that Dorothy has now surpassed the black wolf.

Dorothy is strong. So rather than worrying about her, I chose to trust her.

If this continues, the undead army may be defeated by the orc horde.

I quietly watched the fight between Dorothy and Znul that was about to break out from behind.

“For your arrogance, the ax of Znul will shatter you and your body!”

With Znul’s shout, Znul and Dorothy began to clash in the center.

***

Dorothy looked at the huge ax coming at her. The destructive power of the ax, which was much larger than her body, was beyond imagination.

Every time the huge ax hit the ground, the rocks on the ground were crushed and the ground caved in.

When the ax cut through the air, there was a terrifying sound of wind, and the pressure of the wind hit Dorothy’s face.

If she was touched even once, she would die instantly, and that was the reason why she could not easily attempt a counterattack.

“You’re as good at dodging as a flying squirrel. But how long are you going to dodge? This ax will never stop until it kills me!”

Zrul shouted confidently. He was the leader of the Orcs who had gone through many battles. In this battle, he knew that he was stronger than anyone else.

The girl who challenged herself curiously caught her fancy. He talks to Dorothy with a sinister smile.

“If I surrender even now, I might give you the honor of bearing a child as my woman?”

Dorothy slowly opened her mouth to Znul’s story.

“Guys like you are always the same. They have a small amount of power, but they treat and belittle those who are weaker than them like kings.”

Dorothy looked on with her disgusted expression. She thought of the slave traders who treated her and her slaves like objects rather than people.

“I have only one thing to say to you who don’t treat people like people. I want you to die here and now and apologize to the souls you have tormented.”

Jnul in front of her was the same. Because she was one of the types Dorothy hated the most.

In the past, she just had to suffer because she had no power, but now it was different.

At first, it was a power she cultivated to help her master.

However, the power she had cultivated for that purpose became so great that she could make her will come true.

Dorothy was no longer a slave who despaired of the reality she faced.

She is acting as a person with purpose and will.

The words and ideals of a person without power were similar to the lies of the shepherd boy.

The girl named Dorothy, who knows that fact better than anyone else, never pretended that what she said to Znul was a lie.

She began to kick her steps towards Znul once again.

Jnul’s huge ax comes crashing down on Dorothy’s head. Dorothy turned her body to her side before her ax could reach it.

Afterwards, the wind pressure and vibrations that hit her hindered her movements, but she completed her adaptation to the battle with Znul.

Dorothy’s rapier gleamed in the sun as she held her body to the ground with her divine sense of balance.

Oh my! Dorothy’s rapier scratched fiercely at her Znul’s chest.

Blood flowed from Znul’s shallow wound.

Jnul was unfazed by a blow of this magnitude. Since he didn’t even feel any pain, his ax continued with his next move.

” Ha, you sound funny about apologizing. This world is about the might of the jungle. The strong exploit the weak and enjoy their rights, which is fair compensation!”

Jnul’s huge ax strikes the ground once again.

“We will become stronger. The orcs will become so large that no threat will be able to stop us!”

Dorothy pulled back her hand holding her rapier. With his other hand, he opened his palm and stabbed the rapier into the gap in Znul’s armor.

Understand-! The rapier went right into the gap, and Znul’s red blood began to flow from between the armor.

However, even though Znul groaned in pain, he did not blink an eye.

Dorothy clicked her tongue and tried to pull away his rapier. However, the rapier’s blade did not fall out of Znul’s body, as if someone had held it by hand.

‘Hold it on with your muscles…?’

When Dorothy realized the fact, it was too late. Znul did not miss the momentary gap. The giant orc’s fist swung at Dorothy.

Bwaaak! Dorothy let go of her rapier and tried to guard her fists with both arms, but with a crunching sound of her bones, her body flew into the air.

Dorothy’s body, which flew into the air, rolled about seven times on the ground before coming to rest on the ground.

“Dorothy!”

The owner’s worried voice came from behind her.

Dorothy’s right arm was broken by a single punch from Znul.

Unlike Dorothy’s fragile body, which could break with a single blow, Znul’s strong body, which seemed to be resistant to stabs and cuts, was unfairly far superior.

Znul’s arrogant gaze looked down at the fallen Dorothy.

“Now, let me finish this soon.”

Znul takes her steps towards the fallen Dorothy with terrifying force.

If an average person were to look at that, they would faint or tremble in fear.

But Dorothy stood up unsteadily from her seat with an expression that never gave up.

She looked at Znul approaching. At this point, Znul was the strong one and she herself was the weak one.

Dorothy knew better than anyone else that this world was a world of jungle.

She was a slave who belonged to the lowest level of the pyramid of this world.

This world was never kind to a 13-year-old slave girl.

She definitely wouldn’t have been like this if she hadn’t met her master.

He rescued Dorothy from slavery and taught her many things.

How to think for yourself.

How to express your own opinion.

How to move forward on your own.

For a girl who was a slave, these would all have been precious things.

Now that she can act on her own, all she wants to do is take down the orcs in front of her.

For this orc, she no longer wants others to experience the pain she suffered when she was a slave.

If anyone is captured by these guys, rescue them.

She wasn’t originally the type of person to act like this for others.

Like her master, her own hero, she admired others as she watched closely them using their own abilities to extend their goodwill to others.

And more than anything, she hopes that her own precious master will also take down this orc.

Dorothy had many reasons to fight.

Dorothy kicked her feet towards Znul once again.

“The match is already over. Do you think you can beat me with that look!?”

Jnul and Dorothy were close once again. Her broken right arm was in tatters, but Dorothy didn’t care about her pain.

Znul seemed to have decided that it would be better to deal with her with her bare hands rather than with her axe, so she swung both her fists at Dorothy.

If Znul’s fast and heavy blow were to hit, the troll armor Dorothy was wearing would not be able to completely protect her from the impact.

Dorothy was dodging his fists with great concentration.

Dorothy dodged Znul’s blows and desperately looked for an opening. Rather, she boldly advanced and provoked the enemy in order to exploit her opponent’s weakness.

And somehow, Znul was caught up in Dorothy’s pace, and Dorothy seized the opportunity that came her way.

Znul’s fist, loaded with all his strength, hit the ground where Dorothy was standing. Dust rose and a small crater formed, but Dorothy was not there.

Dorothy’s figure disappeared in the dust-covered field of vision, and Znul looked around.

At that moment, someone started pulling the rapier that was stuck in Znul’s shoulder.

“Where!”

Jnul had already anticipated that. He tightened his muscles and swung his fist towards pulling his rapier away.

However, contrary to expectations, his fist split the air. And at that moment, the thin blade of the rapier bends sharply and breaks.

Jnul felt uneasy at the sharp sound of metal.

“No way…”

Dorothy narrowly avoids his fist by turning his head and thrusts the partially broken rapier into Znul’s right eye.

Jnul, who had never changed his expression until now, finally let out a terrible scream.

Dorothy spoke with a heavy breath as she pulled out the broken rapier along with Znul’s pierced eyeball.

“What are you talking about? The game starts now.”

He spoke coldly while swiping the blood stains on his own cheek with his thumb.

As Dorothy said that, a strangely blue light was shining in her eyes.
