The Wise Lord

Chapter 23 – Mana Stone Mine (3)

Lucas wondered if what he was seeing with his own two eyes was real.

The view seen through two open eyes.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!

Kwaaang!!!

The whole area of the forest was literally being destroyed by fire.

“This, this, this is…!”

Lucas couldn’t believe the sight.

It was hard to believe even though I was seeing it with my own two eyes.

No, it was strange to believe.

Is that… is that something that really makes sense?

“Chwik, chwiik?!”

“Chwiik??”

The sudden bombardment and roaring panicked the Orcs.

There are as many as 3,000 Orcs in the Orc Village.

Although the area was devastated,

The 3,000 Orcs were not completely annihilated.

Of course, one orc colony was destroyed in an instant.

“Chuiiik!?”

“Chwiik!?!”

The Orcs exploded in rage at the sight of one of their colonies being destroyed.

And as if to find the culprit behind this.

The orcs looked around.

Eventually, he found Ruben’s soldiers.

“Chuiiik!!”

“Chwiiik!!”

He let out a harsh snort and began to rush recklessly.

The flashing red radiance had clear outlines,

The figure became a terrible monster again.

Thousands of monsters attack.

The madness deepens, and kurrrureung. The forest shakes.

The approaching wave of death.

It was like the black waves of the night sea.

Fear began to appear on the faces of the soldiers watching the wave one by one.

Right then.

“launch!”

From somewhere, Xian’s loud cry was heard.

Shu Shu Shu Shu Shu Shuuk!!

At the same time, hundreds of arrows covered the sky.

and.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!

kurlrrr

A group of orcs rushing in…

So, the area where the orcs were was completely destroyed.

The sight had the power to thrill the beholder.

“That, that… what the hell is that?”

Amelia’s question filled with astonishment came.

Normally, I would have answered something.

“Uh, uh, how…?”

The current Lucas had no such spirit left.

Lucas’ gaze turned to Xian.

Xi’an was at the forefront.

He could have fallen into the rear and made it safe, but Xian did not.

It’s as if, in the most emergency situation, he would step in first.

Before long, Lucas’ gaze turned to something the cyan was working on.

Shingijeon (神機箭).

It was the first thing Lucas had ever seen, in the shape of a huge cart.

It is said to be a strategic weapon…

To be honest, Lucas had an idea of ‘what if’.

3,000 Orcs in the Orc Village.

It was because it was not a power that could be done with just one weapon.

However, the new war that I experienced was not a simple strategic weapon.

“launch!”

A decisive battle weapon that can change the landscape of war itself.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!

aaa!!!!

“Chuiiik!!”

“Kwyiik!”

Not at all… not a match at all.

A group of Orcs could not even approach and were swept away and exploded.

Asymmetric Power.

A power that causes asymmetry just by ignoring compatibility.

It was truly the strongest power.

There were few sacrifices on Ruben’s part.

No, hardly, not at all.

‘······ It was a battle won from the beginning?’

It’s not Xi’an that’s stupid,

It was Lucas himself who knew nothing.

There were no more than 1,000 living Orcs left.

In that fleeting moment, most of the orcs exploded.

“·······”

Lucas is at a loss for words.

right at that moment.

Whoops…!

A vibration rang out not far away.

Startle.

At the same time, Lucas’ senses caught something vague.

Lucas calmly closed his eyes, expanding his senses.

‘Oak···?’

It’s different to say.

The power that Lucas felt now felt like an existence completely different from that of an ordinary orc.

I can feel the mighty power that I can understand even without seeing it.

Kwoaaa!!!

The sound is perceived only after it is felt through the skin.

Soon there is the sound of something huge moving.

Wooddeuk…! Quaang!

The objects in the forest are unconditionally destroyed.

Lucas swallowed his surprise and looked at the orc who appeared.

Should I call that an orc?

“That, that, that, that…!”

“Three, my God…!”

Ruben’s soldiers began to agitate.

The orc that appeared was a terrible monster.

The appearance was undoubtedly an orc.

However, it is a huge body reaching 5m.

Skin like jet-black, as if it had welcomed the rest of the night.

In the meantime, the muscles wriggling as if they were going to explode at any moment seemed like they would crush everything.

So, even if it was an ogre, there was nothing strange about it.

Right then.

“Reload arrows!!”

Xian’s sharp cry was heard.

Was Xian also aware of the existence of the Black Orc?

The direction of the Singijeon was heading toward the Black Orc at some point.

“launch!”

Shush shush shush shush!!

Along with Xian’s cry, the sky was covered with hundreds of arrows.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!

aaa!!!!

A thick dust fog rose, and the area where the black orcs were located was devastated.

And he could tell what had become of the black orc without seeing it.

Right then.

“Reload arrows!!”

Xian’s sharp cry was heard once more.

“launch!”

Shush shush shush shush!!

And with Xian’s cry that followed again, the sky was covered with hundreds of arrows.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!

aaa!!!!

gurrr

The heavens and the earth vibrate and the whole area is completely turned upside down.

It seemed like no one would be able to survive.

“Reload arrows!!”

Xian’s sharp cry did not stop.

Xian’s expression as he looked at it was hardened somewhere.

Shush shush shush shush!!

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!!

gurrr

Xian fired the arrows of the Singijeon at the same place several times.

It was difficult to even stand in the forest, as if a huge earthquake had occurred.

It wasn’t until after about three times that the fire of the Singijeon faded.

and at the same time.

tadak.

Lucas ran through the line of sight ahead.

There was no time to think, no time to worry.

Grab the sword and raise the tension.

A thick fog of dust obscured his vision, but Lucas could see.

“Kwoaaa!!!”

The black orc is not dead.

My mind is dizzy at the gigantic screams bursting through the dust fog.

The ghastly madness contained within the scream echoed throughout the forest.

And the black orc seen.

The state of the orc didn’t look good at all.

It would be strange if he was fine with that terrible firepower.

However, a mutant beast that lives in the dark forest.

A black orc that has undergone OverDrive will have its physical abilities dramatically amplified.

The amplified physical ability also included regeneration,

The extensive firepower of the Singijeon was a bit insufficient to end the life of the Black Orc.

To be precise, the black orc would have died if he continued pouring firepower.

There weren’t that many arrows left now.

Kwoaaa!!!

With a scream, a dark pitch-black madness erupted around the black orc.

At the same time, the crushed wounds began to heal one by one.

“I-I-I-I survived the firepower…?”

“No, no way!!”

“Well, how is that an orc…”

“Monster, monster…!”

The soldiers’ will to fight is suppressed.

The soldiers trembled in fear as if their minds were poisoned by savage madness.

Asymmetric Power.

It wasn’t just on Ruben’s side.

Lucas gritted his teeth and threw himself down.

A black orc that endured the firepower of the new war.

It could no longer be called okra.

Ogre.

The most ferocious of monsters that step on the ground with two feet.

That black orc was comparable enough to an ogre.

So you had to do it yourself.

He was the only one who could handle that black orc here.

‘Process as quickly as possible.’

Lucas draws on the power of his aura.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Lucas’s sword was dyed blue and the air around him vibrated.

The level of an expert who freely handles the power of Aura.

Lucas swung his sword through the mist of dust that hadn’t completely subsided.

Kwaaang!

A terrifying roar erupted.

The wind pressure caused by the explosion dispelled the dust fog in an instant.

And Lucas could see.

sigh.

The appearance of a black orc blocking his sword with a huge blunt weapon.

“…!”

Lucas’ eyes widened.

Lucas’ sword attack just now contained the power of an aura.

And Lucas is a knight who has reached the level of an expert.

The aura that Lucas ejected contained a monstrous power.

As such, the black orc had to be swept away by its power and fell.

But how can a mere demonic beast…?

Lucas’ gaze slowly turned downward.

And the black orc’s huge blunt weapon that blocked his own sword was shimmering with a jet-black aura.

A power that Lucas was all too familiar with.

“Come on…?”

That was clearly the power of Auror.

“how!”

Lucas’ face twisted in shock.

Even so, Aura was not a power that could be easily obtained.

Natural talent and bone-chilling hard work.

It was a power that could be obtained by grinding and polishing all of them.

No wonder there are overflowing people who give up because they can’t even reach the level of a beginner.

How could such a power be possessed…!

That moment.

Lucas sensed a foreign energy.

A slightly overlooked gaze.

‘A mana stone?’

A large mana stone was embedded in one corner of the chest of the black orc.

And even the creepy magic that is felt in it.

Only then did Lucas know the truth.

‘Is it using the power of the magic that dwells in the mana stone?’

A top-notch mana stone condensed over a thousand years.

For some reason, it seemed that the power had flowed into that black orc.

Even the size of the mana stone embedded in the black orc was enormous.

If a normal mana stone is the size of a fist,

The black orc stuck in it was comparable to a watermelon.

And the demonic energy felt inside it is not enough to say that it is terrible.

It also survived the explosive firepower of the new era.

It seemed that it was all because of me that he blocked Lucas’ blow.

Quaang!

After being pushed back by the monstrous force, Lucas’ body flew through the air.

Lucas hurriedly adjusted his balance and landed on the floor.

In any case, the truth is that orcs did not use their aura powers.

However, in the end, the fact that they use powers similar to those of Auras has not changed.

Even if Lucas is an expert knight, he is not an easy opponent.

‘no.’

It is not an easy opponent even if you fight with all your might.

Lucas gripped his sword tightly.

And then I drew out all the auras I had.

however.

“Chwiik!”

“Chwiiik!”

In an instant, a harsh gust of wind could be heard all around.

A look back hastily.

Numerous orcs were besieging Lucas there.

‘When did this…!’

Lucas cut down the oncoming orcs.

However, because there were so many of them, it was not easy to leave.

It seemed that all the surviving orcs had gathered.

If the firepower of the Singijeon was poured in, it would be possible to sweep them all at once.

However, Singijeon had no eyes to distinguish between enemies and allies.

It was obvious that if he continued to fire the new war, not only the Orcs but also Lucas would be caught up in it.

Lucas didn’t have the confidence to be fine with that firepower.

That’s why the Singijeon couldn’t breathe fire due to Lucas’ presence.

sigh.

The black orc grinned grotesquely.

“Kwoaaa!!”

Eventually, with a wild scream, the black orc charged furiously.

And the direction was not to where Lucas was, but to Ruben’s camp where the new war was located.

‘I got hit!’

Lucas’ heart skipped a beat.

From the beginning… he had intended to aim for a new game.

A strategic weapon that devastates a group of Orcs.

Without that new battle, their victory would have been taken for granted.

That’s why the Black Orc was planning to aim for a new war from the beginning.

But the only one who can stop that black orc is Lucas and himself.

So, we must quickly stop the black orcs…!

“Chwiik!”

“Chwiiik!”

Due to the surrounding Orcs, he could not move.

Awesome! Kwajik!

Quack!

“Keuk…!”

Lucas frantically cut down the orc while ignoring the wound.

However, he couldn’t easily move on to the endlessly swarming Orcs.

“Kwoaaa!!”

And even at this moment, the Black Orcs were running towards the Singijeon.

When the mirage breaks, everyone here…

“Stop it!”

“Be sure to protect the new game!”

A sharp shout erupted.

The soldiers were prepared to die and blocked the path to the Singijeon.

Kwoaaa!!!

However, the screams of the black orcs burst out.

The madness within it oppresses the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

The expression of fear flashed on the faces of the soldiers.

Even so, they did not run away, but it was clear what would happen.

“no···.”

That’s it.

Because of my own mistake…

Right then.

tadak.

Someone ran out as if passing by the soldiers.

Although it was Lucas who saw his face.

The broken heart of Lucas did not return.

can’t deal with

I knew it because I saw it directly with the sword.

That sword cannot stand against the orc.

That’s just an act of hastening death.

Lucas.

“Everybody get back!!”

I shook my head, saying that was impossible.

#

It didn’t take much thought.

Not much action was required.

Exactly, I wasn’t the one to take a look at that.

Wow!

A dull explosion erupted, stopping the momentum of the black orc that was charging.

only one attack.

Xian knew.

‘different.’

And it’s dangerous.

Xian grabbed the numb hand several times.

The black orc was using the power of the mana stone for some reason.

To be precise, he was using the power of the magic that dwells in the mana stone.

It was similar to the power of the auror,

That’s why Xian couldn’t cut down a black orc even with an S-grade sword.

No, rather, it was an S-class sword, so Xian could withstand it.

“Kreurreuk…!”

The black orc looked at Xian in silence.

There was cold anger in the black orc’s gaze.

Anger that mere prey had dared to stand in his way.

“Kwoaaa!!”

A pitch-black demonic energy rises like a dark cloud.

It contained a terrible murderous intent and became heavy violence.

Xian squeezed the sword and grabbed it.

The black orc in front of him was on a different level than when he was a hobgoblin.

Madness that only aims at killing.

In that madness, there was a monstrous destructive power that only bit the target.

The S-class armor would have blocked the impact several times.

But only once or twice.

If you allow more.

The bones of the whole body were shattered and the intestines exploded to the extent that it must be said.

can i do it

Questions kept popping up in my head.

Unknowingly, fear arises and a thick hesitation catches my ankle.

But… why the hell?

Strangely, his head was calm.

My heart beats like it’s going to explode in fear.

The reason that is engulfed in fear cannot make proper thoughts and judgments.

However, the body did not tremble.

On the contrary, my senses are awakened by the blind and tingling murder intent of the guy who is heading towards Xian.

Eventually, when Xian swallowed his breath.

All of that disappears in an instant.

“Kwoaaa!!”

Shouts submerged in terrible madness engulf the space.

The black orc charged at Xian with a vicious murderous intent.

Xian was looking at something else while keeping that figure in his eyes.

It was none other than the silver-haired handsome man I saw on my smartphone.

An existence presumed to be the strongest Arnaise, Kyle.

When the man first showed Xian the Mahonsura sword.

Xian hadn’t understood that sword.

Even though I see it with my eyes and feel it with my skin.

Xian couldn’t understand the man’s sword at all.

However, each task is completed one by one.

Despite his humble talent, he tried to follow his footsteps.

from what moment

The man’s sword began to appear dimly.

It was something very feeble.

It was something that even the word weak was not enough.

But Xian could see something certain.

The man’s sword continued like a stream.

Which moment is cutting, and which moment is stabbing.

The man’s sword was so natural that it was impossible to tell the difference.

It itself was a stream like water.

There is a thick tinnitus in my ears.

Noise is not heard.

no smell whatsoever.

nothing is out of sight

When I suddenly came to my senses.

Tadak!

Only the image of himself rushing towards the black orc was visible.

A shriek, the scream of the air grinding into the air, can be heard.

top to bottom, bottom to side, side to top again.

continues and continues

Thought perceives action late in the retort.

Xian’s sword was swung like a single movement, and Xian’s body moved like a dance.

at some point.

Stand tall, stop moving. why? I don’t know.

Somehow it seemed like it should be.

A giant man runs. At the same time, there is a feeling that time is elongating.

see. the guy’s movements.

It is felt. actions I will take.

And when Xian swallowed one excited breath.

True (斬).

Stand-sigh.

I heard this

Xian did not stop there.

Feet move naturally.

My back is twisted, and my shoulders are swinging.

Actions follow because the series of movements are just natural.

Xian’s sword wielded disturbed his vision.

Xian didn’t know what he was doing.

beyond the unrecognizable unconscious.

A sword thrust through them.

which.

Xian unfolded so far.

Kwa-jik!

It was the most perfect and accurate ‘cutting and stabbing’.

“·······!!!”

“·······!!!”

“·······!!!”

People’s astonished gazes were all turned to Xi’an.

Everyone watched Xian with their mouths open.

It was only then that Xian flashed and came to his senses.

“ha···! ha···!”

rising breath.

and.

Tring!

[Mahon Sura Sword (Introduction Progression Rate 27.3% (+26.5%))]

With a cheerful notification sound coming from inside your arms.

Woo woo woo woo!

The black orc collapsed to the ground in front of Xian.
