Swa-a-a-a-ek―!
The arrow imbued with mana flew towards the Orc Overlord at tremendous speed.
'Even if I can't deal damage....'
"I can annoy him!"
"Kuwuuuuuu―!!!"
He must be going crazy, right? He can't pinpoint exactly where I am, but arrows keep flying, preventing him from focusing on the opponents in front of him.
"Where are you looking! Hryap―!"
Naturally, Cheon Tae-jin was running wild with joy.
'Sigh... they said he has a self-righteous style.'
The original plan was to coordinate a 2-on-1 attack with Baek Seo-yeon, but he just ignored it completely and is acting independently.
Swa-a-a-ek―!!!
"Kuwelk―! Kuaaaaaaak―!!!"
In front, a strong Awakened is swinging a greatsword wrapped in flames, and from somewhere unknown, arrows fly annoyingly.
'I would be pissed too....'
Clang―!!!
Whish―.
"[Flame Sword]... amazing...."
A sword strike utilizing the unique Fire Mana of Taehwa Guild.
It is a skill taught only to Taehwa Guild members after Cheon Tae-hwa realized it. Of course, there are many Awakened who left the guild, so there are many people outside Taehwa Guild who use [Flame Sword] too.
'But the essence of the true [Flame Sword]... is used only by Cheon Tae-hwa and his children….'
Perhaps because they inherited Cheon Tae-hwa's blood, his children all possessed tremendous affinity for Fire Mana. So their firepower is superior compared to others.
[Mana Manipulation Lv.2 $\rightarrow$ Lv.3]
[Mana Imbuement Lv.2 $\rightarrow$ Lv.3]
'Nice.'
As I continued to attack by reinforcing the bow and arrows through [Mana Imbuement], mana-related skill levels went up.
At the same time, the levels of [Concealment] and [Stealth] skills were also rising steadily.
'This....'
It seems my abilities will be upgraded in an instant through this battle.
"If the Orc Overlord situation is resolved well, that is."
'Everyone here can easily run away if they want to but....'
The moment that happens, the Orc army led by the Orc Overlord will sweep through Yeouido.
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard.
"Cheon Tae-jin!!! Wait!!!"
'Baek Seo-yeon?'
Turning my head, Baek Seo-yeon was breaking through the front lines and joining Cheon Tae-jin.
"Baek Seo-yeon, don't interfere."
"This was the original plan?! Stop acting independently!"
Saying that, she jumped in an instant and launched a spear strike imbued with Wind Mana.
Kwa-gwa-gwang―!!!
"Kuwuuuuuu―!!!"
The Orc Overlord hurriedly crossed his axes to block the spear strike.
'Fast.'
Certainly a strong existence. To think such agility comes from that bulk.
Whoosh―.
"Hup―!"
"Duck!"
The Orc Overlord swung his axe horizontally with all his might, and Baek Seo-yeon grabbed the back of Cheon Tae-jin's head and made him duck.
"I could have blocked sufficiently...."
"Are you crazy! You thought you could block that?"
The shockwave created by the axe's trajectory cut the statue behind the two in half.
"...."
'Oho…?'
But the relationship between these two looks quite subtle. Is this, is this???
"No, that's not what's important right now."
That is something to think about later, and I focused again and aimed an arrow at the Orc Overlord.
At that moment, dark red tattoos began to shine on the Orc Overlord's dark green skin.
"Berserk...?"
'How do we deal with that?'
Orc's Berserk.
If it's a standard Warrior or Elite Warrior level Orc, it's simple to handle. An Awakened stronger than the berserk Orc just handles it.
But what if an Orc Overlord goes berserk?
"Shouldn't we call Guild Master level people for this? Damn it."
[Analytical Eye Lv.1 $\rightarrow$ Lv.2]
At that moment, the level of the [Analytical Eye] skill, which is always active, went up and....
The world I see changed.
"...Found it."
Kwaang―!
"Kueup―!"
The Orc Overlord's murderous axe attacks began to sweep the surroundings.
Whish―!
"Insufficient!"
Cheon Tae-jin swung his sword and set up a [Flame Barrier], but the Orc Overlord's axe split the barrier like cutting tofu.
Swaaa―.
Baek Seo-yeon set up a [Water Barrier] behind it and barely blocked it.
"It's Berserk!"
"Tch―."
'Orc Overlord's Berserk...? This requires Father to come?'
But currently, the Guild Masters of the 3 Guilds are....
'On overseas business trips.'
No luck either, how did an Orc Overlord appear at a time like this?
Should we consider it fortunate that it's not an Orc Great Overlord?
The axe swung once more, Baek Seo-yeon read the flow of the attack through Water Mana and rolled backward to dodge the attack.
Bang―!!!
"This is crazy."
The axe smashed the stone tiles of Yeouido Park floor to pieces.
And through the fragments floating in the air like that....
Swa-a-a-a-a-a-ek―!!!
"...?"
'Arrow?'
It wasn't ordinary speed. The arrow that cut through the fragments at tremendous speed lodged into the Orc Overlord's skin.
Thuk―.
"Kuwuuuuuuuuuuu―!!!"
It couldn't inflict a fatal wound, but an attack enough to be annoying.
"Who is it? Don't tell me...."
'Lee Si-woo?'
She knew he re-awakened an ability to handle weapons, but can he handle a bow like this too?
But what is stranger than that is....
"Mana?"
Did he awaken mana too? The power of mana was felt from the arrows flying subsequently.
"Focus!"
At that moment, the axe attack continued again, and Cheon Tae-jin grabbed the back of Baek Seo-yeon's neck and pulled her backward.
Crunch―!!!
The Orc Overlord's axe slammed down on the spot where she was just a moment ago.
"!!!"
Whish―.
Cheon Tae-jin swung his sword largely and spewed a trajectory of sword made of flames towards the Orc Overlord.
"Damn it!"
However, it didn't work on the Orc Overlord who had already finished going berserk. And the Orc Overlord launched another strike but....
Thuk―!
"Kuwuuuuuuuuuuu―!!!"
This time, an arrow lodged in the armpit exposed by lifting the arm high.
"Kuaaaaaaak―!!!"
And this time, it seemed more painful than before.
'Weakness...?'
"Armpit is the weakness."
Indeed, usually the armpit isn't easily exposed. So it's a weakness hard to grasp.
Having awakened mana and [Analytical Eye] level rising, the flow of mana flowing throughout the body from the Orc Overlord's dark red tattoos began to be roughly visible to my eyes.
And I saw the flow of mana gathered at the armpit.
'That is the spot.'
That place is the weakness. But the armpit isn't usually revealed well.
"...However, now is not usual times."
It is a combat situation. The time when the armpit of the Orc Overlord holding dual axes is exposed will come. For example, like that....
"Kuwuuuuuuu―!"
Like when lifting the axe high to slam it down.
"Still, it's hard to pierce with my arrow yet. But...."
So what if I can't pierce it?
Anyway, the main attackers aren't me, but Baek Seo-yeon and Cheon Tae-jin. Those two. Those two....
"I just need to let them know the fact that the armpit is the weakness, right?"
In Baek Seo-yeon's case, since she is quick-witted, she will realize immediately.
"I have to watch for an opportunity."
Since it's in the middle of battle, the time when the weak point, the armpit, is exposed will come again. I continued to shoot arrows to annoy the Orc Overlord bastard.
'Not many arrows left now....'
Like Seo Ha-yeon who condenses Light Mana into arrow shapes to shoot.... Should I gather mana to shoot too? But my proficiency wouldn't be that high?
At the moment I was thinking that, the Orc Overlord bastard raised both dual axes high to launch a strike at the two.
"!!!"
'Now!'
I aimed an arrow straight at the bastard's armpit without hesitation.
Grip―.
Pshh―!
Swa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ek―!!!
Since it's okay even if I inflict a fatal wound with a lucky punch, I injected a ton of mana and shot the arrow. And....
Thuk―!
'It lodged!'
It lodged a bit deeper than before.
'Not a fatal wound?'
"Kuwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu―!!! Kuaaaaaaaa―!!!"
A cry louder and more painful than before rang out.
"Done!"
Baek Seo-yeon looked around for a moment, then as if realizing something, she straightened her spear.
"Hey! Cheon Tae-jin!!! The armpit is the weakness!"
'As expected, quick-witted.'
Baek Seo-yeon and Cheon Tae-jin started a joint attack, and I felt relieved.
"Phew... then I should also now...."
Click―.
"Try raising levels?"
Holding the bayonet-attached gun, I took off the mana cloak and deactivated both [Concealment] and [Stealth] skills.
"Kuwelk?"
"Kuwuu...?"
I saw bewildered Orcs nearby.
"Phew...."
Compared to the Lizardman Elite Warrior who was a master of spearmanship, a general Orc Warrior is weak.
"I've won against stronger guys too... I can do it."
Of course, in the end, I won by shooting a gun taking advantage of a careless moment, but anyway, a win is a win.
"Come at meeeeeeeeee―!!!"
[Using skill 'Roar'.]
I used the [Roar] skill on the surrounding Orcs and rushed in.
Some of the Orcs who heard my [Roar] froze for a moment.
'Not enough to freeze multiple Orc Warriors with [Roar] yet.'
But that is enough. Since 0.1 second of hesitation on the battlefield creates a huge difference.
"Hup―!"
Chal of Ran-Na-Chal.
I thrust the bayonet attached to the gun towards a single point in an instant.
Shuk―.
Puk―!
"Ke, keu-elk...."
'Good.'
Power concentrated from the back foot gathered to the tip of the sharp bayonet less than 1mm, piercing the Orc Warrior's leather and piercing the heart too.
"Keck―."
The Orc bastard stopped breathing in an instant.
'It went straight in without catching on the ribs.'
The disadvantage of the thrusting action is the possibility that the blade gets caught in the bone and doesn't come out well. But…?
"It's spearmanship learned from Cheongpung Guild. Absolutely no such thing happens!"
Squelch―!
Spurt―!!!
Blood spurted like a fountain from where I pulled out the bayonet, and I turned my body as is utilizing the rotational force to hit the Orc bastard next to me.
Bang―!
The axe the bastard was swinging at me and the gun clashed.
"Hup―!"
'The gun is...?'
Fortunately, the gun was fine. Was it because the opponent Orc didn't attack with mana imbued?
"You, you can't use mana, right?"
Hehehe, come here!
Crunch―!
Bang! Bang!
"Die! Die! Die!"
This time, I fought the Orc swinging without stabbing.
'It's correct to think of bayonet skills as fighting with a short spear. Since the reach is much shorter than a general spear.'
While doing so, I learned distance sense. Since practice and real combat are distinctly different, I have to grasp the distance at least like this.
"Kuwuu...."
Pshh―!
Once the distance sense was grasped, I thrust the bayonet without hesitation and killed it.
Kwa-gwa-gwang―!!!
Turning my head towards the loud sound, Baek Seo-yeon and Cheon Tae-jin were finishing off the Orc Overlord.
'It's over now.'
The Orc Overlord was in a state of having lost combat capability by losing both dual axes.
"Then there's nothing to be scared of!"
Crunch―!
I swung the gun towards the Orc creeping up behind me and bashed the bastard's head with the buttstock.
"Kuaaaaa―!!!"
"Cowardly aiming for the back? Die!"
Crunch―!
Like that, the battle was coming to an end.
The battle ended. Baek Seo-yeon and Cheon Tae-jin, who killed the Orc Overlord, gathered their strength and destroyed all the remaining parts of the campfire I had partially destroyed.
As a result, the progression of erosion stopped, and all Orcs gaining power from the polluted land were also disposed of.
Like that, the significant event of an Orc Overlord's appearance could pass without much damage.
However, the important thing was something else. That was none other than....
"Mr. Lee Si-woo. Meaning... you re-awakened. Is that the story?"
"Yes, that is correct. While fighting in Yeouido... I re-awakened."
The issue regarding my re-awakening
