Let’s retreat

*Bam!* the berserk ogre falls to the ground.

“Ah…”

My status window shows level 19. As it had just become level 18 before, this is quite nice treat. That said, it might also show how formidable named monsters are, Kazane thought.

(I also received a skill [[Fear Voice]])

It is the skill that the berserk ogre used before. The skill produces a voice which causes the enemy to go into a panic state.

“We did it, Kazane.”

The voice came from the side, it was Yumika.

“Yup, ah, that’s right”
Kazane picked up the dropped horn and threw it into the item box.

“For the time being, this should be enough.”

For a named monster, other than having superior skills than its race, their material are also considered rare. It is too precious to leave it.

“Kazane, create horses!!”

It was hurriedly said by Gyao. Right now, the still intact Hippo-kuns were numbered 4. When we defeated their leader, the surrounding ogres fell into a confused state, they didn’t know whether they should wait or attack. We need to retreat quickly while they’re still in that state.

“Roger! ‘Skill: Golem Maker: Hippo-kun and Hippo-kun’!”

As Kazane activates her skill, the ground reacts and two new stone horses appeared.

“Alright! Retreat! Everyone retreat!!!”

At the same time as Garra’s shout, everyone rode the horses and started retreating (Since Jirou had fainted, he was placed on Kazane’s horse)

“GuGaAAAA!!!”

Finally, all the ogres started to chase us, coming simultaneously.

“Uwahh! Ruuun!!”

Gyao screamed, urging the stone horse. However, perhaps the ogres instant acceleration was faster, our distance to them gradually shortened.

“This is bad.”
Even Zinrai sounded impatient, however Kazane kept looking back and she then used a skill.

“‘Skill: Fear Voice’”

Then after taking in a large breath, she shouted.

“GO AWAY!!!”

“UwooO!”
Gyao felt a little bit frightened, but the other members of the group almost fell down the hippos and even the unconscious Jirou quivered.(ED: Nightmare: Noooo DON*T EAT Mmeee...)

As this skill can differentiate between friend and foe, we didn’t receive a considerable influence. However, the ogres that were chasing us received an immediate effect. It is the fear inducing scream of their boss that was just killed off a moment ago. Though the ogres chasing after Kazane’s group while hiding their fear with anger, hearing the skill, they were forced back to their senses. Their number is 50. That’s the number of ogres that fell into panic state and they announced the death of their boss. The group slowly collapsed and routed.

“What happened?”

Kimberly looked at them dumbfounded.

Ogres that were in the middle of battle suddenly shouted something and started to run away at once.

Even the combined force that were fighting in front of the gate were dumbfounded, they didn’t know what was happening. However, a part of the adventurer groups quickly recovered and successfully brought down the injured ogres that tried to run away.

The result, mixed army casualty is 50, with around 100 ogres brought down. Though there’re around 200 ogres that ran away, but they had indeed successfully protected ‘Winlard Town’. There’re some sacrifices, but from the result of the battle, as there’s no damage to the town, the influential people felt relieved.

The subjugation of the runaway ogres in ‘Winlard town vicinity’ needed great effort, but it’s a story for another time.

And with this, the battle that was later to be called “‘Subjugation of Berserk Ogre’” drew near its end.

“We did it. Right Anna.”

“Yeah. I think Rhea and Claus will be happy.”
Dozens of minutes after the battle was over, as they return to the town they happily talk about their victory which spread out to their surroundings.

Among them is Garra and Anna who had their comrades killed. They talked quietly while shedding tears.

Kazane made her stone horse walk parallel with theirs’.

“Mr. Garra.”

“Oh, Ugh. Sorry, for showing something so unsightly.”

Against Garra who didn’t stop crying, Kazane shook her head.

“Well… If Mr. Garra was not there, I think we wouldn’t have been able to beat it. So I think it is not unsightly.”
It is her honest thoughts. If Garra was not there, Kazane doesn’t think she could beat the berserk ogre, on the contrary, she might have been beaten or reach time over and get surrounded.

“And because of that, as the one who beat that guy was Mr. Garra and I, this is your spoil of war.”

Kazane took one horn from the item box.

“This is…’Berserk Ogre’s horn’”

You could pick it up at that kind of commotion huh…Zinray said it with an amazed voice.

“Well, that’s because we are adventurers.”
Hearing that, people around her let out laughter. Even the teary faced Garra laughed. He accepted the horn and put it up for show. Then Kazane realized

(Finally everything is solved, right)

By the way, around this time, Jirou had actually woken up. But since he didn’t know anything about the present condition and no one noticed him, he kept silent.

Kazane: With experience from subjugating a named monster, I leveled up again.

Yumika: Your strength has also  increased considerably.

Kazane: Perhaps because of Killing Leg. I put my bonus point in agility since it somehow didn’t increase.

Yumika: This time I also level up to level 17 in one go.

Kazane: Maybe because your one attack contributed greatly to the defeat of the berserk ogre.
