Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne? Chapter 267

I couldn't clearly hear sis Anderson's voice but I felt like I heard the voice of a female so a smile naturally appeared on my face.

"I'm coming right now!!"

After shouting that I adjusted my direction a bit while running towards the area I detected life force just a moment ago.

I jumped over a small rock the size of my chest and started running again the moment I landed.

In the gaps of the trees, about 70~80 meters or so ahead I guess?

It sounds somewhat triumphant.

Faster, faster!

Shit!!

I've been constantly moving since last night so I'm covered in quite a bit of sweat.

"Goge!! Guggugbutto!"

If it's not then I'm sure you can see me when I'm desperate.

I can see them!!

About 20 meters ahead, there's a place which the trees are somewhat open.

One of the ogres is kneeling over with it's back at me seeming to jeer at something.

About 5 meters from that is the backs of 2 ogres that are holding the clubs in their hands and making movements as if they're ridiculing someone.

And then ahead of that is the silhouette of what seems to be a member of {Black.Topaz}.

It seems the ogres still haven't noticed me but the moment I start taking action it will be a fight for time.

Immediately after I used the spell {Fumble} on the one to the right.

Ignoring the ogre that was sitting and in a hurry to turn around I used {Fire Wall} with an extended duration in front of the ogres further back to keep them in check.

It's a 20 meter wide and 3 meter high wall of flames going from one wall of the hall to the next.

The depth of the flames should be about 1 meter.

The bayonet didn't miss it's mark as it stabbed in with a tough recoil.

The ogre flinched taking my bayonet so suddenly from behind.

I'm sure the end of my bayonet pierced through into the ogres mouth.

I should have been able to destroy the medulla.

In a hurry it held it's club but it's unsteady.

"Nu..E~~i!!"

I stabbed my bayonet into it's right flank and after quickly pulling it lowered my posture while turning to the right then turned in a way so my bayonet stabbed into the back of it's right knee.

When the ogre's posture collapsed and it dropped it's club I kicked it in the back of the head with all of my strength, then immediately put my left hand to it's back before bracing my legs and firing {Air Blades}, once, twice, three times. Thanks to that my glove is covered in ogre blood.

I quickly turned around and after jumping into the 1 meter high grass once more, faced off against the ogre who's nose I broke.

The ogre was sitting down and it started swinging it's right hand holding the club with a surprising speed for it's broken nose.

After all, it's swinging almost as if the grass doesn't exist.

Doba~to and it was almost as if the grass was involved in a small explosion as the areas in front of the ogre opened up.

The ogre was arrogantly not even standing as it remained in a posture with it's club while still on one knee.

If it had continued the movement to stand up just like that then it would have taken my attack to the leg or abdomen.

Up against one like that and I need to remain cautious.

I'll decide it with the next move!

I glare at the ogre from below the visor of my helmet and after slightly lowering my posture prepared to charge at it once again.

I want to intentionally show an opening and aim for when it stands up.

Though that's the case, if it's too obvious then it will see through the fact that it's a trap.

Watching the timing I went to switch to charge at it.

"Gooogaaaa~!!!"

It was that moment, along with a roar a Laios came charging in like a hurricane and cut through the ogres head from the side with his sword.

The large sword embedded halfway into it's skull as the ogre died.

Zulu kicked the ogre while pulling out his sword and looked at my for orders.

He took my scene.

Everyone's used quite a bit of stamina and worn out but as expected they've been training on a normal basis.

.................................

"Thanks for coming."

"Thank you."

However, other than Rotto there were two other casualties.

Gary(Gary.Bagumaia) and Marin(Marin.Rukkima).

The leader Anderson has an open bone fracture in her left arm and Roru(Roreiru.Naruzomerin) has a broken right leg as well.

Ever since they came to the 7th floor, {Black.Topaz} encountered their first group of 3 or more ogres excluding the monster room and while they somehow defeated them, Marin ended up suffering serious injuries here.

Of course, there were other people injured besides just her as well.

That night, Marin coughed up a large amount of blood and it was determined that her organs still hadn't recovered.

On Anderson's decision they decided to put priority on using healing spells on Marin.

At this point the magicians excluding Marin still didn't have any major injuries as well.

Just as old man Viruhaima said, excluding Marin, everyone in {Black.Topaz} was born in the same village and many of them have been friends since they were children quite literally 20 or 30 years.

Anderson must have made the statement after quite a bit of resolve but she said she was relieved that they were against it at that time.

Kaku and Baru took turns carrying Rotto's remains while Gary and Vikkusu took turns carrying Marin.

The number of eyes keeping lookout decreased as well.

They somehow managed to clear through the next day as well but as expected the number of injured increased and they started putting healing priority on the magicians.

Marin still hadn't recovered enough to use spells.

And then the next day(yesterday).

Though there were some injuries, they're first-rate adventurers.

Even if it's against 3 of them there shouldn't be any casualties.

Around this time thanks to having healing spells used on her a number of times while Marin couldn't use magic she had recovered enough to walk on her own using a spear as a walking stick.

The number of injured increased again.

{Black.Topaz} ended up being attacked by 5 ogres in this forest and driven into a defensive battle.

Marin who gathered her strength to form a line of spears but because of her fatigue she lost her balance and took an attack dying as well.

That continued for 30 minutes and around the time they were falling into despair they could hear a sound like something was rupturing in the distance.

The ogres must have ordered them to go and take a look because 2 of them left the group and went.

However, among them, Anderson and Roru realized it was the sound of {Audible Clamor}.

However, they didn't give up on hope.

I looked like the Savior right?
