Kwaaaaang!

Kieeeek!

”

Blacksmith's Rage increased Grid’s attack power by 10%, and Unbreakable Justice dealt damage that was 300% of his attack power, so the 11 orcs suffered great damage simultaneously.

“Wind Blast!”

The sharp wind caused the orcs further pain and they became confused, not knowing what to do. Grid used Quick Movements to take advantage of the gap. His rise in speed and the wounded orcs meant he easily dealt the final blows.

[A sylphid scale has been acquired.]

Blacksmith's Rage -> Unbreakable Justice -> Wind Blast -> Quick Movements. 11 orcs were killed in an instant with this combination, and Grid was able to acquire two sylphid scales. However, he didn’t level up because he shared experience with Huroi.

'I hunted 80 orcs and only three scales dropped, but now I found two?’

At that moment, Grid felt like he experienced a great fortune. He had a good feeling that he could get a large amount of sylphid scales if he killed the orc chief.

“Okay! Hey, Huroi! Let’s defeat him now!” Grid shouted toward Huroi, who was in charge of maintaining the orc chief’s aggro. At that moment, the orc chief stopped attacking Huroi with a big axe and turned toward Grid.

“

Huh?

”

Grid was baffled and Huroi shouted, “The duration of my taunt is over!”

“What?”

“

Kuooooh!

”

The orc chief suddenly appeared in front of Grid! The reason for his appearance was to get revenge on Grid for killing his fellow orcs. Then the orc chief roared and started to attack Grid.

Kuwang!

Kuwang!

Every time the orc chief swung the big axe, wind pressure was generated and tore at the ground. The ground of the frostlight orc village covered by snow was gradually revealed.

[You have suffered 104 damage.]

[You have suffered 97 damage.]

“No way!”

The heavy wind pressure hit every time the orc chief wielded his axe! Grid sustained damage just from the wind pressure. What was this absurd strength?

“

Kuwooooh!

”

The orc chief became angry that Grid was avoiding his attacks and started striking quicker and sharper. Grid focused and barely managed to avoid direct blows, while being constantly damaged by the wind. However, he couldn’t get a chance for a counterattack.

‘I am intimidated.’

This was the true dignity of a boss monster! The boss monsters Grid hunted as a warrior were all under level 100 and he always had dozens of users in his party. This was the first time he’d ever faced a boss monster alone.

‘Can we really win?’

As Grid was feeling afraid, a notification window emerged in front of him.

[A legend doesn’t feel fear easily.]

Then Grid’s mind calmed down. The characteristics of his composure, indomitable, and courage stats allowed him to readjust his mind. He completely shook off the fear effect and shouted toward Huroi, who was waiting for a chance to approach the chief, “Huroi! Now!”

Huroi received Grid’s signal and stabbed his sword into the chief’s thighs.

“Unbreakable Justice!”

Huroi used the same skill as Grid. The chief flinched at the deep thigh attack and fell to one knee. Grid used Blacksmith’s Rage and Quick Movements to move through this gap. Then he brandished the Ideal Dagger.

“Unbreakable Justice! Wind Blast!”

The two skills hit the chief’s side almost simultaneously.

Kwaang!

Hwiririk!

“

Kuooooh!

”

The chief screamed from the shock and fell back. As he landed on the ground, Grid stabbed the left Achilles tendon, while Huroi stabbed the right Achilles tendon, but their attacks didn’t easily penetrate the chief’s thick skin.

“

Kuwooh!

”

The chief rose while holding the axe in both hands. Then he literally spun in place.

“

Ugh?

”

Kuooooh!

It was like a whirlwind. Rough winds started to rise like a storm from the spinning axe, while Grid and Huroi were defenseless in the aftermath. The chief’s axe accurately struck their bodies.

[You have suffered 5,300 damage.]

“

Cough!

”

Huroi’s health, which was close to the maximum, fell to less than 10% in a flash, while Grid’s also dropped to 20%. This was a massive crisis.

“Huroi?”

Huroi was stunned.

“Dammit!”

Grid had forgotten this fact after becoming Pagma's Successor and developing a high resistance toward abnormal conditions, but users who lost 40% of their health in one attack would be stunned for three seconds. In a stunned state, the person was completely defenseless.

“This!”

After Huroi was stunned, the orc chief’s gaze immediately moved to him. He wanted to take care of the enemy who had no resistance first.

‘If Huroi dies, I won’t be able to deal with this monster alone!’

Grid had to choose. Flee, or help the stunned Huroi? As he was thinking about it, the orc chief’s axe fell toward Huroi.

“Shit! This is the first time I’m leading a raid in Satisfy, so I can’t give up!”

In his life, he had always been a supporting actor. It was the same with Satisfy, but now he was different. At least in Satisfy, he could be a big star. The main actor shouldn’t give up so easily. Grid threw himself into the air and then he wrapped himself around Huroi.

Peeeeok!

Grid received the cruel blow unprotected. Red filled his vision and he couldn’t stop himself from shaking. However, he soon calmed down.

[You have been hit by a blow!]

[A legend doesn’t die easily. You can resist all attacks for 5 seconds with a minimum of health.]

Dduk.

Dduk.

Blood flowed from Grid’s body and Huroi’s body, in Grid’s arms, was becoming wet with Grid’s blood.

“G-Grid...?”

After recovering from the stunned state, Huroi looked up at Grid with a trembling gaze. 

“Why... why do you keep sacrificing yourself for me?”

Huroi was about to burst into tears. Grid drank a potion and ordered him, “Attract that bastard’s attention and buy some time. I will use it to recover my health.”

“

Kuoh...!

”

Huroi gritted his teeth and got up. Then he took all types of buff potions, including a potion to restore his health.

“I will surely hand his head to My Liege!”

Once again, a scene resembling a historical drama began to unfold. He was thrilled by the fact that Grid protected him.

‘I didn’t do it for you... well, it wouldn’t be bad to let him continue being mistaken.’

Grid currently only had intermediate health potions, which restored 1,500 health every time he took them. He had a total of 7,886 health so he needed to take four potions before his health recovered to the maximum.

‘The potion reuse time is 20 seconds... Huroi, you need to somehow survive for 1 minute and 20 seconds.’

Grid  needed Huroi to buy enough time. Huroi showed a surprising performance. He picked up the shield that had been blown away by the orc chief’s whirlwind attack and used it to block the chief’s attacks. Then he used that gap to take out a glass bottle.

‘What is that?’

Grid felt it at that moment. Huroi threw the glass bottle at the orc chief, and flames emerged from the broken bottle that hit the chief.

“

Kieeeeeeek!

”

The orc chief’s eyes widened with fear as his shoulder caught on fire.

‘Firebomb! Yes, frostlight orcs are vulnerable to fire.’

How did Huroi have a firebomb? 

‘Did he prepare firebombs before coming here? Isn’t he quite good?’

As Grid marvelled at Huroi’s preparedness, Huroi pulled out new bottles in both hands and shouted, “Take this! 49 firebomb bombardment!”

... Did he become too excited after the firebomb hit the orc chief? He called out a childish technique name and threw the firebombs continuously.

Pepeng!

Pepepepeng!

The orc chief’s massive body caught on fire.

“

Kiyaaaaah~!

”

The screams of the orc chief echoed in the sky, then Huroi armed himself with a sword again after all the firebombs were exhausted. Then he attacked the burning orc chief.

Puuok!

Puuok!

Grid formed a fist as he watched blue blood flow from the orc chief.

‘The raid, did it succeed?’

But was anything easy?

“

Kuruk! Kuruk! Kuruk!

”

The burning orc chief snorted as Huroi continuously attacked him. Then he pulled out a small bead from his pocket. He held the bead up to the sky.

“What is he doing?”

As Grid was baffled by the unknown action, the blue skin of the orc chief gradually turned red. Then dark clouds formed in the sky. Just the ambiance alone was remarkable. He was probably using a tremendous skill.

Huroi also used a skill.

“Strong Will!”

At the same time...

“

Kuoooooh!

”

Kwarururung!

Once the orc chief’s whole body turned red, a red lightning bolt fell down from the sky and struck the orc chief’s axe. Then the orc chief aimed the red lightning covered axe down toward Huroi.

The momentum was so amazing that it seemed like even Winston’s high walls would collapse from a blow of that lightning covered axe. Grid naturally predicted Huroi’s death.

Then!

Kwaang!

“

Kuruk?

”

The orc chief spoke in the unknown language and Grid couldn’t understand it. The moment that the orc chief’s red-colored axe struck Huroi’s forehead! The axe wasn’t able to pierce Huroi’s forehead.

Grid belatedly recalled Huroi’s actions that he witnessed in Winston’s Dungeon.

‘He obviously... at that time, he clearly blocked the knight’s attack with his body.’

Huroi must have a tremendous defense skill. The orc chief’s axe was pushed to the side and Huroi went on the offensive. 

“

Aaaaaaah!

”

Puuok!

Huroi stabbed again and again without taking a break.

“

Kuwek! Kieeeek!

”

Was this the aftermath of using a great technique? Or maybe it was because the damage caused by the firebomb was too great? The orc chief returned to his blue color and acted defensively without being able to resist. 

Then Huroi used the Unbreakable Justice skill after the cooldown time was over.

Peeeeeong!

“

Kuaaaaah!

”

It struck the abdomen... the orc chief was hit by Unbreakable Justice and fell down. Afterwards, Huroi climbed onto the orc chief’s body and continued to stab downwards, without caring about the damage to himself.

The orc chief was beaten for a while, then he swung his arms and threw Huroi away. Then the orc chief started to swing his axe in a wild manner.

“

Kuooh!

”

Despite the firebomb bombardment and constant stabbing, the orc chief didn’t show any signs of dying. At first, Huroi wanted to block the attacks with his shield, but then he eventually backed away. Huroi’s shield was on the brink of being destroyed due to the damage.

‘The end.’

Huroi was taking potions steadily, but his health was already at the bottom. Grid could see that Huroi wouldn’t last much longer.

‘Shit, i thought we won when the firebombs were thrown... in the end, I have to go forward again.’

Grid thought he could sit back and eat the profits, but that wasn’t the case. As he prepared to move, he saw Huroi’s bloody body running back toward the orc chief again.

“

Eh?

 Hey, Huroi! Don’t overdo it! Pass on the baton! While I fight, you stay behind and fill up your health again!”

“Don’t you know that we can’t cause much damage to the orc chief this way?”

“But if you die, won’t I be left alone? Then the odds of winning will be gone!”

Grid would rather fight the orc chief while Huroi retreated, but he couldn’t break Huroi’s decision.

“My Liege! I will see you later! Sacrifice for Justice!”

Suddenly, Huroi’s sword started to shine gold. Huroi’s health dropped until there was only 1,000 left.

“What’s this?”

As Grid was feeling confused, Huroi’s shining gold sword struck the orc chief’s chest. At that moment, a strange thing happened.

“

Kieeeeeeek!

”

The orc chief, who had been hit by firebombs and constantly stabbed, let out a dreadful scream of pain. Grid could see that the orc chief’s health fell sharply due to the strike from the gold sword.

Huroi grinned. “I will leave the rest to you.”

Peeok!

The pain filled chief swung his axe at Huroi, who turned into a gray light.

[Your party member Huroi has died.]

Grid was left alone.

“

Kuwaaah!

”

The orc chief roared and rushed at Grid, but it couldn’t be compared to before. The orc chief was definitely hurt.

“... It can’t be helped. Blacksmith's Rage. Quick Movements.”

[Blacksmith’s Rage has been activated. Your attack power and attack speed will increase significantly for 20 seconds.]

[Quick Movements has been activated. Your agility and evasion rate will increase significantly for 1 minute.]

Grid temporarily elevated the abilities of his body and used Wind Blast to precisely hit the wound on the orc chief’s chest.

[You have dealt 1,090 damage to the target.]

“

Kiek!

”

“

Huh?

”

Grid’s attacks clearly dealt more damage to the orc chief, who was visibly distressed.

‘It is clear that Huroi’s Sacrifice for Justice skill created this situation. The Sacrifice for Justice skill... is it a skill that consumes his health in order to deal great damage to the enemy, as well as decrease their defense?’

Grid drank a mana potion and started attacking more aggressively.

“Unbreakable Justice!”

Peeng!

“

Kiyaaaaak!

”

[You have dealt 5,006 damage to the target.]

The orc chief’s resistance was fading. His skin was turning red again as he swung his axe randomly. He took out the bead to summon the red lightning bolt again. Grid needed to kill him before his whole body turned red and the lightning bolt was summoned.

[You have dealt 1,600 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 1,711 damage to the target.]

[You have suffered 2,203 damage.]

[You have dealt 1,509 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 1,830 damage to the target.]

[You have suffered 2,500 damage.]

Grid didn’t back down. He stood there and attacked as much as possible. He knew that if he retreated from here, he would be defeated by the summoned red lightning bolt. Now was the time to win!

“

Kuwaaah!

”

“

Ohhhhhh!

”

Peng!

Peng!

Puk!

Puuok!

[You have suffered 2,154 damage.]

[The Apostle of Justice’s bravery is unmatched.]

[The Apostle of Justice is in a crisis. You won’t easily collapse in front of the enemies.]

[All stats will increase by 30%.]

Grid’s health fell below 10% and his attack power increased from the passive effect.

[You have dealt 2,480 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 2,502 damage to the target.]

“

Kuock! Kuwoook!

”

The whole body of the orc chief was dyed in red. Then a red lightning bolt flashed across the sky. Would the axe covered with that lightning fall toward Grid’s head? Or would the orc chief succumb first?

Grid didn’t know. Right now, the only thing he could do was attack.

Kwarurung!

The lightning bolt hit the orc chief’s axe. At the same time, the cooldown of Unbreakable Justice ended. Grid gazed at the axe falling toward his head and used Unbreakable Justice.

Peeeeeong!

“

Keok...ke…

”

Just before the orc chief’s axe hit Grid’s forehead...

“

Kieeeeeeek!

”

Unbreakable Justice hit the orc chief’s chest, who screamed and coughed up blood. He knelt down and disappeared into a gray light.
