56 – Ogre
Chapter 56 Ogre
Malta ran through Maximilian’s residence at full speed and jumped out. If she fights in the room as it is, it will cause trouble for Alistar for sure. The enemy seems to be aiming only at herself, so she tries to keep it away from Alistar by going out.
It’s a night when the sun doesn’t rise, but because the moon is shining brightly, she can see the ground below.
This noble residence is very close to the sea. She didn’t really think about the reason, but if she thinks about it now, it may be because it’s easier to abduct and carry the mermaids.
When she thinks so, the residence itself is creepy.
「GUOOOOOOOOOOOO!!」
And then, the roar of the one that chasing Malta adds the creepiness.
Malta tightens her face and sets up the trident spear Filomena.
Before long, the one that chasing her appeared.
「OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!」
It’s a demon-like monster with bright red skin and a furious expression that will scare the one looking at it. It’s a very powerful monster, an Ogre.
From the muscular body, it can be seen that it has a different strength than humans. Not only that, it also has sharp fangs and claws that could easily cut people apart.
On his thick neck, there’s a black collar attached.
「This is my combat slave. I’m unsure if I leave it just to those guys after all.」
Maximilian, who had caught up, bragged proudly. This Ogre is his hidden ball when there’s nothing his guards can do. That is why he was able to easily abduct the mermaids.
「Well, let’s finish it quickly. Ogre, make her powerless with less damage as much as possible. She will be an important product after all.」
「OOOOOOOOOOO!」
It’s unknown whether the Ogre has the intelligence to understand Maximilian’s words, but it’s howling and rushing on Malta.
「I won’t let you do whatever you like. 『Filomena』!」
Even though directly receiving the Ogre’s hostility and intimidation that even a trained man will be frozen, Malta still keeps her composure. She points the trident spear toward the Ogre and puts in magic power.
Then, several water polos were created and fired at the Ogre. Those are not just ball of waters, it’s made with the magic power of 『Filomena』, it’s powerful enough to easily blow humans away. If more than one of them hit the body at the same time, it won’t end unscathed.
However…….
「How hard…」
Even after being hit directly by the water polos, the Ogre continues to charges without slowing down. Not only it didn’t falter, it also didn’t receive much damage because of its thick skin and strong muscles. Rather, the Ogre explodes in anger for being attacked. It’s approaching with more speed.
A line of sweat flows on Malta’s cheek. But, she’s not weak that she be defeated without doing anything.
「OOOOOOOOOOOOO!」
「Kuh…!?」
Malta received the club that was swung from the side with the trident spear. Her slender body can’t stop it and she’s blown away by its overwhelming power.
But, that’s fine. She didn’t try to completely stop it, she wanted to use this power to move.
「…But, it was unexpected for it to be this strong.」
Malta smiles bitterly when she sees her numbing hands. If she receives it many times, her arms might break even if she doesn’t get hit directly.
Well, that’s a matter of course, mermaid is not a race that good at close combat. On the contrary, the Ogre is good at it. In the first place, Malta isn’t trying to beat the Ogre in close combat.
「GUGAAAAAAAA!!」
The Ogre naturally chased her to do the finishing blow. Looking at it, Marta grinned.
The place where she was blown off is very close to the sea. It is the Mother Sea where the mermaid like Malta can show her true power.
Malta jumps sideways, avoiding the Ogre that was approaching. It made the Ogre came to the place that’s very close to the sea.
「『 Gerlach 』」
「GUOAAAAA!?」
A water tornado rises and swallows the Ogre with a rumbling. The Ogre who made a surprised voice is completely locked up.
This is exactly the same way of fighting when the gray guild humans attacked the mermaid settlement before. This way of fighting is a certain victory for Malta.
Malta stares at the Ogre that being held in the water tornado with her mermaid’s eyesight while carrying the trident spear.
「GURUOOOOOOOOO!!」
After understanding that it’s being locked up, the Ogre rampages violently. It raises its hard fist, cuts with sharp nails, and hits with a club.
「…Ugh. After all, the power is amazing.」
Malta is having a cold sweat.
Its overwhelming violence is quite capable of destroying the restraint of the water tornado. Its power is incomparable to the humans of the Gray Guild.
Marta felt that this could not be held long. However, there is no need for long-term restraint. Because she will end everything with this one attack.
「This is the end!!」
She threw the trident spear with all her might. It precisely rushed to the Oger, approaching the Ogre who’s rampaging in the water tornado… and hit it directly.
At the same time, 『Gerlach』 was released and the figure of the Ogre was revealed from the inside. The figure of a pitiful monster that gets skewered by a trident spear…… is not here.
「……Eh?」
Malta tilts her head.
The trident spear couldn’t skewer the Ogre with its very hard skin and muscles. Malta is in disarray due to the fact that it only leaves a small scratch.
「Gugigigigi…!」
「T-that’s too hard…」
The Ogre laughs eerily. Seeing that, Malta could only show a dry smile. And then, the Ogre threw the nuisance spear and furiously charging at her.
