A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 66 (Part 2)
“Sniff, Grrr? Kuwaahhh!”
“Yeah, I’m glad to see you too.”
The Twin-Headed Ogre turned its head towards Kaiyan, seemingly detecting his scent as he quietly approached from behind.
“Grrrr…!”
‘I think so as well.’
Kaiyan could feel from its eyes what it was thinking.
Revenge and hatred. It vowed to exact a price for its right head, just like Kaiyan did.
They stared at each other. Now it was time to determine who was the predator and who was the prey.
“I trust you, Reika. Huff… Haa!”
Thud!
Kaiyan dashed straight toward the monster, seemingly recklessly.
“Kuwaahhh!”
The monster swung its enormous fist toward him. Even before the fist could reach him, an intense gust of wind pushed him down.
[Here we go!]
Just as the monster’s fist approached, Reika’s voice came from behind.
Wiiing!
Simultaneously, a magic circle appeared, shining under the monster’s feet.
This was the final trap prepared for the monster.
Huuung!
“Kruuugh!”
Despite ducking low and narrowly avoiding the monster’s fist, the shockwave from the passing attack shook Kaiyan’s body. It was a situation where avoiding additional attacks would be extremely difficult.
However, thanks to his reckless charge as originally planned, the monster was not paying attention to the magic circle at its feet, allowing the magic to be completed.
Shhhrrrr!
“Kruaah?”
Dozens of magic chains sprang out from the magic circle, binding the monster’s feet and legs. It struggled to break free, moving its body back and forth, but to no avail.
“You little… it’s a level 5 circle magic! Let’s finish this!”
The magic used on the monster was the 5-circle installed restraint magic, prepared in advance using a scroll. Reika was in charge of the timing, and Kaiyan was in charge of diverting its attention. As a result, they successfully cast the magic on the monster.
No matter how strong the monster’s physical abilities were, even at the Guardian level, to release the restraints, it would have to be restrained for several seconds.
“Penetrating Stab!”
Using the upgraded skill now at B-rank, the Penetrating Stab, Kaiyan’s sword split the air and mercilessly shot toward the monster’s leg.
Phwoosh!
“Kruaaaah!”
The attack’s range was quite limited due to the monster’s massive size. Nevertheless, the attack was excruciatingly painful, evident from its howling.
Hwaahhh-
The reason it screamed in pain was because of the energy from Berserk and Aura.
Kaiyan swung his sword, and the aura and crimson energy released through the blade entered the monster’s body, attacking beyond the sword’s reach. As the attacks hit, the monster trembled, emitting the scent of burning flesh.
The monster’s eyes grew redder as it screamed, and one of the shackles binding its arm fell off. With the restraint on one arm gone, it immediately swung its fist toward Kaiyan.
Naturally, the monster’s fist was aiming for him.
“Hmph!”
With both legs still restrained, the monster couldn’t move.
Kaiyan swiftly moved through the gap between the Twin-Headed Ogre’s legs, avoiding its fist.
“Before you get completely free, I’ll take you down! Powerful Downward Strike!”
As Kaiyan swung his sword down towards the intact leg of the monster, its tough skin split open, and it spewed out a large amount of green blood.
But Kaiyan wasn’t satisfied. He swung the sword like a madman, evading the monster’s fists by using the space between its legs and repeatedly attacking.
As the monster’s legs became more and more mangled, the shackle restraining its remaining arm broke into pieces. Now, the monster was able to use both hands.
[Kaiyan-nim! It’s dangerous! Get out of there!]
“Hoo… just a little more…!”
Although dodging through the gap between the legs was very risky due to the significantly expanded attack range, the fact that Kaiyan could bring the monster down with just a few more strikes led him to stay in this perilous situation.
[Kaiyan-nim!]
Kaiyan could hear Reika shouting from afar, but he focused solely on the sword and the monster’s movements, continuing to swing his sword.
Now or never.
When Kaiyan deeply slashed through the joints, the monster finally wobbled. Now it was only a matter of time before it fell.
[Dodge!]
Just then, Reika’s urgent voice pierced his mind, and at the same time, the surroundings suddenly darkened. Kaiyan quickly raised his head.
“Kwaaah!”
The monster fell over, coming down with both hands aiming to crush him.
Perhaps due to his greed, even though he maximized his cognitive acceleration and danger sense, Kaiyan couldn’t find a gap to escape.
It was a situation where he would be crushed by the monster’s enormous hands.
‘In that case…’
In a momentary lapse of time, dozens of thoughts ran through his mind, and he reached a conclusion.
‘Counterattack!
At first glance, it seemed like a reckless idea, but the monster was now in a severely weakened state.
Its legs were mangled, and above all, it had lost its right head, which meant it couldn’t exert its full strength.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible, but now that the monster was weakened, Kaiyan could do it. He would pour all of his strength into it.
‘Powerful Downward Strike!’
With all his strength focused on the sword, Kaiyan swung it towards the monster’s hands coming at him.
Kwaaaahhh!
The moment the sword collided with the monster’s hands, an immense rebound force pushed Kaiyan back several hundred meters.
“Kuwaahhh!”
“Kueeuk!”
The only relief was that Kaiyan didn’t die, and the monster suffered considerable damage.
The Twin-Headed Ogre knelt on the ground, looking at its hands with several fingers chopped off.
[Kaiyan-nim! Quickly use a potion!]
Reika rushed over and shook Kaiyan’s body with her tiny feet, urging him to use a potion.
“Kuuh… inventory. Take out a Lesser Health Potion. Use the Lesser Health Potion.”
As Kaiyan used the potion he had purchased in advance, the pain that made him feel like he would vomit blood subsided in an instant.
Just as he was about to admire how the Lesser Health Potion was different from the lowest rank, an alert message interrupted his thoughts.
Ding! [Quest Arrived]
[Defeat the Twin-Headed Ogre 0/1]
It was an alert for a quest that hadn’t appeared in a long time.
The quest target was the Twin-Headed Ogre right in front of him.
“This is… Kaiyan-nim!”
Even Reika sounded astonished at the sight of the quest alert.
“Yeah, the player system wants me to kill this guy,”
Quack.
The physical exhaustion that had been an issue until a moment ago was no longer a problem.
If Kaiyan couldn’t kill the monster now, he would truly be a fool, and he wouldn’t have any words even if someone blamed him.
“In that case, I’ll gladly accept.”
