A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 67 (Part 1)
Kaiyan observed the Twin-Headed Ogre, lying half-face down on the ground, unable to stand due to its mangled legs. However, the monster still looked at him with fierce determination in its eyes.
‘It’s in my favor. Let’s move slowly,’ Kaiyan thought.
There was a significant difference between Kaiyan and the monster – the ability to recover from injuries using potions.
Thanks to this, Kaiyan’s heavily injured body, which had suffered greatly from the collision with the monster’s hands, had already recovered enough to move.
“Kaiyan-nim, should I use an emergency magic scroll?” Reika asked.
“No, that would result in a loss of G-Points even if we capture the monster. Overall, it might be advantageous considering the quest, but there’s no need to do that,” Kaiyan replied.
Reika’s small bag hanging on her back contained a few emergency magic scrolls to use in dire situations. However, the cost of capturing the monster had already exceeded a staggering 700G.
If they were to spend even more G-Points here, the reason they came to capture the monster in the first place would be in vain.
“Still…” Reika hesitated.
“It’s fine. I believe I can defeat the monster even without magic scrolls,” Kaiyan reassured her.
If Kaiyan couldn’t defeat a wounded monster by himself, then there would be no point in the 50 days he spent growing in the forest.
The player system must have known that too, which is why it gave him this quest. Well, it was just his speculation.
“Now, let’s end this.”
“Kuurr…! Kwaaak!” the Twin-Headed Ogre roared.
Kaiyan cautiously approached the monster, raising his senses to react to any attack.
Even though the monster was injured, he couldn’t let his guard down. One wrong move, and the situation could reverse.
“The monster is getting impatient. When it attacks, dodge and then strike,” he planned.
The red light of frenzy and the power of flesh enhancement had already vanished.
Unlike before, Kaiyan couldn’t be confident in easily avoiding the monster’s attacks. Thus, he carefully took one step forward at a time.
While watching Kaiyan, the Twin-Headed Ogre picked up a small rolling stone by its side. It might be small, but for him, it was about his size.
“Kuwaak!” the monster threw the stone.
Whoosh!
The stone came flying with a fearsome shockwave due to the monster’s tremendous strength. However…
“I knew you’d throw that!” Kaiyan exclaimed.
In a state where he had maximized his senses to react to an anticipated attack, and with no red power, he couldn’t instantly predict like during the Lich’s fight, but he could make some predictions using cognitive acceleration.
Swiftly lowering his body, Kaiyan rushed toward the monster’s right. As the monster’s sight was obstructed due to the stone it threw, now was the perfect opportunity.
“Quaak?” the monster seemed surprised.
“It’s too late!” Kaiyan said.
The monster noticed him a little too late, and by the time it did, he was already close to it. Even though it gave him an intimidating look, it couldn’t use its legs, so its attack range was limited.
“I can narrowly avoid it.”
Whoosh!
The monster’s fist descended towards his head, but it seemed slow, like a goblin swinging its weapon. In response, he accelerated his steps even faster.
Kwaaaahhh!
As the Twin-Headed Ogre’s fist struck the ground, the solid earth split open, and debris rose into the sky. If he had taken a direct hit from that fist, even a knight-level player would have been knocked out in one blow. But…
“Haah! Penetrating Stab!” Kaiyan executed his skill.
It’s useless if it doesn’t hit.
Before the monster’s fist could collide with his head, he plunged his sword inward, aiming for the spot where he predicted its heart would be.
Swoosh!
“Kreuaaak!” the monster screamed.
With a light sound, the monster screamed. Even without hearing the sound of it gasping for breath, he could tell that his attack had hit successfully. However, he couldn’t completely cut off its breathing with this attack, as he couldn’t determine whether the monster had two hearts like its heads or if the locations were different.
“Keep swinging until it dies!” Kaiyan was determined.
If once doesn’t work, then twice. And if that doesn’t work, he would be even more merciless!
With the green blood splattered over him, he swung his sword ruthlessly.
Fwhooosh-
With the first strike, he cut through its tough skin, and with the second strike, he sliced through its insides.
“Kuwaak!” the monster howled in pain.
The creature desperately roared, trying to push Kaiyan away. It seemed like it was urging him to leave quickly. However, it was the creature’s mistake.
The Twin-Headed Ogre should have attempted a minimum attack while roaring.
“You… got scared,” Kaiyan instinctively realized as he heard the creature’s roar. It meant that the monster was scared, and that’s why it didn’t swing its fist at him, who stood right in front of it.
“Kreurr….”
When Kaiyan lifted his head and stared at the creature’s face, its eyes, which had been shining red just moments ago, were now back to a gloomy gray.
It was like the creature was admitting its defeat.
Perhaps, if its two legs were unharmed, it might have tried to run away from here.
“Now you’re pretending to be pitiful?”
As if understanding Kaiyan’s words, the Twin-Headed Ogre made a pitiful expression. Well, it could be his imagination.
“Kreurr….”
“You’re nothing more than a weakling.”
Even if he felt fear, compared to Gnoll, who would keep charging forward until the end, the creature was no different from a physically gifted coward. The reason it was acting like this was that it was born strong and had never experienced such fear. Just like Tarien.
In Panielun, Kaiyan had encountered a similar creature. A Griffin – a predator that slaughtered ordinary soldiers with its tough skin. However, it was an easy prey for knights.
“Enough pretending.”
“Kwaaak?”
