“GURUuuuAaaa!”

The chief’s voice can be heard from afar . The very voice of the chief that they should have been supporting .

Neither the long armed Gi Ga nor the former chief of the village, Gi Gu, could look each other in the eye .

Under each of them were 15 goblins . They led them to march against their enemies as they targeted the weak flanks of their foes, attacking them at the same time as the chiefs on the opposite side . But despite that, the damages they incurred were big .

Although they were both noble goblins, the goblins they led were just mere goblins . Already three have died . And none of the goblins under them were uninjured .

“The king… is in trouble,” muttered Gi Ga as he spun his spear to his long arm, sweeping the clotted blood of the orcs away .

“We have to go, but…” Gi Gu responded as he looked at the scene before them .

What spread before their eyes were the hordes of orcs blocking their way .

The king had broken through the hordes of orcs . They needed to support him .

Being the former leader of the village, Gi Gu was learned in the ways of battling as hordes against hordes . He watched over everything .

If they were to attack from here at the same time, then even just a little, it should be possible to separate the forces of the orcs from the king .

As Gi Gu concluded that to be their role, he turned his gaze toward Gi Ga who was beside him .

Gi Ga was skillfully fiddling with his spear through the use of his long arms that true to its label as a deformation, reached the ground in its length .

“Let’s go to the king,” said Gi Ga .

Hearing that, Gi Gu couldn’t help but sigh in the back of his head . Gi Ga was loyal, but his knowledge in leading hordes was lacking .

That’s the reason why he wishes to go to the king’s side so .

“For that, we must break through here first,” replied Gi Gu .

After confirming Gi Ga’s nod, Gi Gu ordered his subordinates .

They gradually neared the orcs as they measured the distance . Fortunately, the orcs were also wary of them, and were not proactively attacking .

When their hordes had neared the foe’s enough, they charged .

“Go!”

As Gi Gu released the full strength of his > skill, he struck his long sword against an orc . But that attack that would’ve easily split a common goblin’s head was easily received by the orc .

Still, it was within the scope of his prediction . At his attack, the goblins around him all moved closely to the ground, almost to a crawl, and they approached the orc .

They struck the orc’s feet, then broke away . The orc’s pained voice rose, and Gi Gu leaned in, and struck the orc’s head once more . This time, he killed the orc .

Suddenly, the wind blew past him from his side as a long spear pierced through the body of an orc . Looking at that spear’s pommel, it was Gi Ga who had struck out that spear .

“Formidable,” praised Gi Gu .

The reason Gi Gu hadn’t been receiving attacks from his surroundings, was mostly because of Gi Ga who was fighting by his side . With his long arms, Gi Gu’s range was bigger than the others, allowing him to strike against the orcs freely with his .

That’s why Gi Gu used the goblins, and challenged the orcs to a melee .

With Gi Ga, they could demonstrate the effectiveness of the three-man cell to its limit!

“We’ll continue toward the king like this!”

At Gi Gu’s command, everyone nodded .

“Lord Gi Ga,” said a goblin wielding a long spear as he followed behind Gi Ga . “…Don’t push yourself,” Gi Ga told him .

That goblin was one of the goblins born after the chief had taken control of the horde . And under the chief’s orders, he is one of the goblins Gi Ga had taught the spear to . A recent recruit that had just reached adulthood .

But although a fresh recruit, he had to partake in this war . Naturally, the goblins that Gi Ga had taught gathered around him . And like his own chief, he made them follow his back .

“Don’t fall behind!” ordered Gi Gu .

At Gi Gu’s voice, Gi Ga lightly nodded .

“It’s for the king,” said Gi Gu .

“Of course,” replied Gi Ga .

Gi Ga, with his spear . Gi Gu, with his long sword, they each gripped their respective weapons .

“GURUuuAauUuAAa!”

–––Bring it on!

This much strength was added to the great sword I held over my head .

Then with a step, I went beyond my limits, adding pressure to my internal wounds .

As blood vomited out of my mouth, I attacked .

“…Oh!”

For the first time, I had managed to return Gol Gol’s great sword .

Continuing, I struck again . I don’t have the time to bother with my internal injuries .

“Ohh!”

Even though he was being pushed back, the orc king’s mouth happily twisted into a smile . Annoying, I thought .

“OOooAaO!”

Like I could understand his feelings .

Something like that is for people who are equals . Right now, all I need to think about is defeating the enemy before me .

As my blade met with my foe’s, I sent his great sword back . For the first time, I was able to injure him .

My great sword had struck against the Orc King’s chest, allowing red blood to flow out .

“I’m happy,” said the Orc King .

It was the first time the Orc King had jumped back .

“I am the maddened one (Berserker Call)! The strong king (Gol Gol)!” 

As soon as the Orc King spoke those words, my instinct immediately warned, not good .

Following my instinct, I immediately moved forward .

“GURUuUoOOAa!”

Gol Gol stared at me as I struck my blade against him . Acceleration, sword speed, that attack that could not be criticized in any way was stopped with Gol Gol’s one-handed grip on his great sword .

“Small king, I will no longer ask for you name . ” 

The Orc King’s heavy, cracking voice, reminded me of the dead of hell .

“Just… fight! Fight with me!! Goblin King!!”

King!

Suddenly, I felt as if I heard a voice yelling at me from afar . When I looked over during the downtime of our fight, I saw a horde of goblins drenched in blood, surrounded by the orcs .

Then a storm blew before me .

The ground was hollowed, the sky was torn, and the wind whirled .

“Fight with your fists, fight with your weapon, fight!! GURUuoOOGOooOAAO!”

It was truly a maddened giant .

I was right to step aside .

It seems the Orc King rampaging in the world of humans isn’t a lie .

The unfolding scenery before me was enough to prove that .

Anyone who entered this storm would surely be crushed like ice under an ice crusher .

But even then, even then!!

What will a long battle bring me!?

Behind me are the goblins desperately defending against the orcs .

I can’t run!

“GURUuooOOAa!”

I stopped the fear crawling up my back .

Don’t be afraid . I defeated the orc leader . I defeated the gray wolves . I’ve finally come this far .

As I thought that, I gritted my teeth, keeping them from chattering out of fear .

Then I held out my sword against that rampaging storm .

Our blades met .

“Ohh, ohhhh! Fight!”

The Orc King screamed as his body shook in joy .

I took back my sword that was blown back, and I struck again .

Our blades met .

Having mustered every ounce of strength I could, I was able to send his sword back .

At that, blood spilled out of my mouth, and shock waves exploded at the meeting of our blades . Then I took my unfeeling hands, and wielded my sword tight again .

“GURUuUoAOOaOOAa!”

“GURUuuOAAaOOAa!”

But even then, I was at a disadvantage .

The Orc King’s been attacking with only one hand, and yet all I can do is barely stand up to him despite using both of my hands .

At this rate, I won’t last long .

Isn’t there something!?

Something!!?

Even a moment’s fine .

Suddenly, at that moment, I heard a war cry bellow out from afar .

Focusing my sight toward the opponent before me, I used my ears to surmise the source of that voice .

That war cry gradually grew closer, and then–––

“GURUuURUoAOOaa!”

–––Tch!?

I’m perfectly controlling < that has never failed to take my foes’ lives . On top of that, I even have >, and yet… And yet the Orc King is still stronger .

As Gol Gol let out his fighting spirit, an attack fell down from my head, possessing pressure like that of a falling giant hammer . I reflexively received that attack head-on with my great sword .

At the exploding impact, my feet sunk into the ground, blood spilled, sapping my stamina, and a fatal opening was opened .

“King!!”

There, I heard the cries of goblins .

Is it no good after all?

As I thought that, looking up toward the giant, something passed before me . A giant shadow .

“Nu!”

As Gol Gol exclaimed out loud in surprise, the great sword that was right before my eyes was blown away by a spear deer .

–––Spear deer .

–––It’s here, it’s here!! The plan I had given to Gi Gi to direct the herd of spear deer from the lake is finally here .

Moreover, within my hazy vision was the Orc King being forcibly pushed around by the herd of spear deer .

It’s now!

“My body is like a cloud of dust (Accel)!” 

Ignoring my screaming body, I rocketed off, and I aimed for the small opening made by the spear deer .

The pressure that had solidified into a wall mercilessly attacked me .

“Turn me into a blade (Enchant)!!” 

Even if it’s unreasonable!

Using the increased magic power, I casted both Accel and Enchant . I even activated > .

As I wielded my blade in a side-stance, I confirmed the course to follow as I ignored my crumbling vision . Then I let it loose .

My field of vision became blank-white .

“Impudent!” said the Orc King .

–––Is it… here!?

“Chief!”

I heard Gi Go’s voice .

“Gi Ga, don’t rush!”

To the direction of the voice, Accel–––

“Goo, GUuoOOAA!?”

As I felt the impact’s shock, the Orc King’s scream entered my ears .

Pursue him .

I forced my body, ignoring the sounds of muscles being torn apart . And I moved the now unmoving sword .

Now, ––––There’s no other time but now!

I took the sword that had been stood, and I raised it up over my head .

“GOoBO, OuoAA!”

Relying only on the sound of the foe’s cries, I brought forth all of my strength .

“B-astard . ”

Not yet, –––!?

“My life is like a cloud of dust (Accel)!”

Almost there . Sticking close to the Orc King, I accelerated, and I cut through his body even deeper .

“GU, AaA…”

Not yet?–––, Not yet!!?

“Turn me into a blade (Enchant) ––– Tch!?”

I tried to activate a skill, but pain suddenly ran through my right arm, causing the power in my body to decline .

Have I used it all up!?

Immediately after that thought, my body was blown away .

After activating all those [Skills], I’ve finally reached the limit of my ether . My body can no longer move, but . . . Even then, I have to fight .

With only that thought, I forced my body to stand up . But then it occured to me . My great sword was no longer in my hands .

–––Not good . If I were to get hit now, I won’t be able to retaliate!

Not good, not good!

Suddenly, at the bottom of that well of despair and panic, the vision that had been lost began to clear up . What greeted me next was the image of a giant orc, lying motionless with his feet pierced by a spear, and his body skewered by a great sword . It was the dead Orc King .

–––Did I… win?

When I looked down my own body, I saw a deep wound extending from my shoulder to my stomach, bleeding incessantly .

At its gushing, a pool of blood had gathered under me . What had been done could no longer be undone .

“King!”

Just when I thought I heard Gi Go’s cry, my consciousness fell into the abyss .
