Chapter 43: The Chaos Battle Part 2

Even though I was a magician, a monster that size is already too much for me. I would be a fool if I directly confront it. I am just going to rush to my death if I attack that monster right away! But if I want to survive the ordeal, I just needed to kill the monstrous ogre. And besides, I still have my trump card which is going to allow me to break any monsters in contact with my Skull Knuckle to pieces. But still, I may be a battle junkie but I don't plan to die just for a ridiculous dash.

The Foxes continue the assault without any falter. They did not care about the ogre doing its rampage, they only care to annihilate the smaller monsters. Yuri and Yuto also tried their best. Although they are spitting blood due to the sudden cut off of magic from the controlled monsters, they still continue to prevail.

"Hey, if I fight that monster one on one, will I survive?" I asked the voice on the phone.

"No idea. I am just an observer in this phone and I am just the voice of the app, I am not your system," the voice answered.

"Figures. You are unreliable."

In my calculation, there is a big chance that I won't be able to survive against the enemy. With my current mastery in magic and my lame ass fighting style at the moment, I could be running to a suicide mission which is what I am trying to avoid at all costs. Then again, I still have some hidden strike left on my brass knuckles. I am happy to use the remaining chance but the thought of another bigger monster appearing after killing the monster scares me.

"Master, don't worry. That monster might be humongous in size but that is that it still has the same brain an ogre has. It only gained the size due to the help of his followers who treat him like a god and getting enough belief to get stronger," Inari's voice boomed inside my head.

"Belief?"

"Yes. Just like me, due to the widespread belief, I got due to my status as one of the gods, I managed to become strong and powerful. That also applies to the ogre right now."

I see, so that strength was just something a normal ogre possess and his size was influenced by the belief that was established just for him? This is a pain. But I am quite relieved that that was the only case with the ogre. If this ogre is stupid, why would I be afraid? And besides, my trusty instinct that acts as my spider-sense which I got from your friendly neighborhood. Anyways, if this was the case, then why not confront it? I grinned on the possibility, that monster is big so if I kill that guy, then that means a bigger loot. Without wasting time, I look at everyone and catch their attention.

"Guys. I think it is time to prepare for the battle. I don't want you guys to be in danger this time so I will be the one to go in alone. See that big *ss one? I will be taking that guy on. As for you guys, support my back and attack alright?"

"Master, this is too dangerous! And besides, you don't have the bad blood against the ogres. It was me and my sister who has trouble with them! You shouldn't involve yourself in this one! I will go instead!" Yuto said but I quickly used my authority as their master to stop them from what they want to do.

"This is an order and you cannot disobey it. I am the one who will be going. You all should be the support!"

Yuri did not say anything. She seemed to be ready already on what I was about to do. Only Yuto is trying to stop me from going.

Kon quickly saluted using his paws. "Come back, safe master! May you survive the ordeal!"

I rubbed Kon's fur and nodded. I tapped on Yuto and pat Yuri's head. "Don't worry guys, this is just going to take a little bit of time. But I will be back."

...

Climbing out of the trench, I sneak around the area on the rocks. With all the chaos around, they didn't notice my presence yet. As soon as I get myself in position, I activated the magic in my Blazing Shoes and uses the burst to push myself towards the horde of orcs and ogres.

POW~

My body darted like a thrown javelin. I passed by countless orcs and ogres. Throwing the flames in my hands that was conjured from my Burning Gloves, I was killing monsters while I was heading to the target. As soon as the propulsion that was the result of the Blazing Shoes' explosive force slows down, I land into the ground and continue to run and continue heading to the orc.

Traversing the mountain of corpses, I made sure to kill enemies in sight. The orcs and ogres were very weak with the flames so I didn't bother putting too much strength. My main target is the Ogre who is towering enough that I can see him plainly in the field.

Equipping the Skull Knuckles, I squinted my eyes and focused them on the big *ss ogre. I disregarded all of the other monsters in the vicinity and made sure that my aim is locked on towards the demon. I know that hitting the ogre will only be killing it in a single strike. But what made it hard are the ogres and orcs that periodically try to stall me from advancing. They would use their weapons by swinging it and sometimes, I got almost bludgeoned by them. Luckily, my reflexes are good enough to get out of the attack. Although some arrows and some spears managed to graze my skin, they are not enough to stop me from running towards the boss. And as soon as I get near the feet of the ogre, I swing my hands, focused all my force in my fists, and release it to the feet of the boss.

And as expected, the ogre is very slow and did not even get to react. I shouldn't have felt afraid of this guy. He was just big in size but he lacks the power to even do the job. In the end, he exploded to pieces after getting hit by the Skull Knuckle. As soon as the flesh of the giant ogre died, all of the orcs and ogres were in a panic, allowing the others to finish the job. And the anticlimactic ending battle ended just like that. As for the hordes of ogres and orcs in other sides of the area, they heard the death of the leader and were wise enough to fall back. The battle ended easily. Although it lacked a bit of action, I am still happy, because its time to loot the treasures. I am just disappointed by the lack of action though.
