Chapter 74: new skill!

Like the savages they were, jack’s undead summons pounced on the ogre. Immediately dealing any amount of damage they could.

"Argh! Get off!" The male ogre screamed, stumbling back a bit. Using his hands he tried shoving them off, his face but jack wouldn’t let him.

’Bam!’ His fist collided with the incoming hand. With over a hundred points in his strength stat it gave some edge, pushing the ogre’s hand back.

With over 1050 stats, jack purchased two basic rank f daggers from the system shop. Each costing 150 system points each. Not hesitating, he made a deep slash with both the daggers to the ogre’s chest. Drawing out fresh blood gushing to the floor.

With both decay and blood decay still activated being passive, he shoved both hands to the wound. Rummaging through the thick meat, inching more deeper.

’It’s a shame I didn’t store their Warhammers in the store.’ Jack sighed, seeing how formidable kabobs and the two goblin knights were. Possessing high amount of strength they relied on brute force, madly punching away at parts of the ogre’s body.

’Crack! crack!’ Several crack sounds could be heard, with every strike they made. Along with the cries of agony of the prancing ogre.

It tried shaking them off, and managed to get a few of the underlings undead summons away. Squashing them with it’s massive foot.

"Hold still!" An ogre shouted slamming the death club to his face. The force was great, cracking the ogre’s skull with the spikes piercing it’s head.

"Bastards." Jack cursed landing to the ground, just in time before the attack impacted. He’d been warned by aethone, and managed to get a few undead summons back into the ring, along with the three knights.

"I got him!" An ogre yelled it’s hands raised, bringing down his club to jack. Running he avoided the attack, making some cuts to the ogre’s ankle.

[You have successfully killed a middle rank F ogre]

[Hp have been restored!]

[Rewards will be distributed soon..]

’Huh? I got the kill.’ Jack’s eye widened a bit, seeing the system notification flashed across his view. He’d thought it was the ogre’s massive club, smashing to the dead ogre skull that’d killed it.

"Four more to go!" The ogre’s numbers were very few, compared to the settlements he’d invaded. But there was a wide gap between quality and quantity.

[-50 dominion points!]

[-50 dominion points!]

The system notification flashed before his view. Looking, he could see few of his undead summons being slaughtered mercilessly by the ogre’s.

’Eyes of truth is still active but I can’t move as fast as before.’ The duration of the eyes of truth skill was for 5 seconds top. But it could be retained for a consumption of 15 chaos energy, per 3 minutes.

But unfortunately jack was running out of breath fast, and it wouldn’t be long till he collapsed from the aftermath.

’My body can only handle 5 more blood balls.’ He sighed leaping from spot, evading a fist. Then counteracting by slamming both his hands downwards, cracking some bones.

[Undead summons have successfully killed an ogre!]

"Huh?" The system notification pulled jack from his thoughts. He didn’t have to look cause a loud thud was heard, with the ground shaking violently.

"They actually managed to kill an ogre by themselves.. impressive." He muttered with a glint of excitement in his eyes.

’You may rest now.’ Extracting them back into the ring, he left the lesser undead summons. Being an undead they didn’t feel fatigue fast, but it didn’t mean they were immune.

And he wasn’t going to risk loosing three of his best undead summons, to a bunch of ogre’s.

Running, he predicted the nearest ogre’s movement. Lifting a huge rock he tossed it to the ogre, stopping his attack momentarily.

’Bam!’ The rock was slow, giving enough time for the ogre to block. Smashing it to bits with it’s terrifying club.

"No~" he weakly uttered with widened eyes, seeing jack potrude from the dust. It tried swinging his club but it was too late.

The latter had already landed to his chest, two daggers magically appearing in both hand.

Not hesitating he furious slashed away, his hand moving like a blur. Deep enough, two blood balls shot from his palm, fusing with the cut and ogre’s blood.

’That should do.’ Jack smiled landing to the ground. An ethereal red light excluded from his body like a mist, forming three figures.

"Roar!?" Kabobs and the three knights bowed.

"Keep him busy while I deal with these three." Nodding they disappeared from sight, attacking the infected ogre. They weren’t powerful individually against the ogre, but together they were a reckoning force. Formidably attacking the ogre with their brute strength, and throwing some rocks at it.

’My turn.’ Blurring from sight, jack moved swiftly like an assassin. His monarch of darkness title did well in concealing his presence by 30%. Giving him a good opportunity, to sneak past the ogre’s.

’Slash! slash!’

Rapidly swinging his arms, he released a barrage of slashes. Avoiding the ogre’s hits, then parrying with an attack of his own. Sparks of fire flew from his daggers, each time he blocked an ogre’s massive club. The pressure was insanely high, immediately destroying the daggers. sending him skidding back some few meters.

[System points: 350]

He’d almost exhausted his system points purchasing daggers, only to be destroyed by the ogre’s. His legs were already numb, wobbly a bit on the verge of breaking down.

"I-i can’t give up. Not now~" Jack gritted his teeth refusing to succumb fatigue. He’d suffered some few cuts, from some small sharp stones which was nothing.

The only thing on his mind right now was to kill or be killed!

"Haha! Seems like you lost insect!" An ogre screamed in front of jack. It had a mocking grin tugging on his lips, staring down to jack like an ant.

"Come on farok, let’s eat him now!" Another ogre demanded with a frown. Some drools escaping his watering mouth, greedily staring at jack.

"Shut up fatso! You’re always hungry!" Farok retorded, making the fat ogre bend his head a bit. Light murmurs could be heard to which farok ignored.

"Now.. where were we?" He grinned placing his hand to his chin, pretending to be thinking about something.

"Oh yes! I remember.. I was just about eating you." Crouching down a bit, he stretched his hand in attempt to grab jack. Waiting, the latter was really weak but pulled through the pain and exhaustion, preparing to strike.

"Get away from him!" A soft voice yelled, with the protrusion of two figures.

Swiftly moving with the wind fast, reaching the ogre in matter of seconds. Their hands moved like a blur, one rapidly firing arrows away at the ogre. While the other equipped with two daggers swiftly slashed at him.

’W-what are they doing here.’ Jack was surprised seeing Yuma and Karrie here. He had told them about his plans to come here, but strictly warned them not to follow.

’I’ll have to punish them later.’ Jack frowned with a thankful look.

"Protect the king! Protect the chief!" More voices spoke, along with the battle cries of the group of soldiers. From both kilroi and the goblin village.

"A-are you kidding me.. they involved the locals!?" Jack fumed, his face going bright red in rage.

As not only had these two women disobeyed his orders, they brought along with them individuals from both kilroi and the goblin village.

’Hehe! Chief must be proud.’ A sly grin formed on Karrie’s face, placing an arrow to the string firing it. It was fast but the ogre was faster intercepting it.

"Idiot, am just distraction." Karrie scoffed at the ogre’s low intelligence. Sidestepping, avoiding the massive club creating a huge crater.

’Slash! slash!’

An object flashed through the ground, headed for the ogre. Two blur lines were made at the ankles of the ogre.

’It’s skin is too tough to cut through at once.’ Yuma frowned, appearing besides Karrie panting a bit. She was fast and effective, using her daggers like it was a part of her.

But it was having little effects against the ogre’s skin. Though she was using her full strength, whilst careful not to be crushed by the ogre.

Moving, the duo continued in their tactics. Karrie being the archer stayed at a safe distance, firing arrows drawing the ogre’s attention. Which enabled Yuma to strike, making some slashes before leaping back.

’If I could just-’ an idea popped up in her head. Waiting for the right moment she crept up the ogre’s back, moving fast to his head. Reaching, she tried slashing his head hoping for more damage. but unfortunately, the ogre had gained unto her tricks.

"Ahh!" She yelled, loosing balance as the ogre leapt a bit. She tried digging the daggers in to his flesh but it was too thick, and she wasn’t strong enough to inch it in deep.

"I got you." A figure blinked in the air, landing softly to the ground with Yuma in his arms.

"Y-your highness~" Yuma stuttered with flushed cheeks, averting her gaze from him.

"You two disobeyed my order, You’ll be dealt with later." Jack frowned, coldly tossing her to the ground disappearing from spot.

"You think you scare me with your puny insects friend!?" Farok roared, furiously slamming his club down.

"You shout too much." Jack calmly spoke encircling him.

[Eyes of truth activated!]

[Chaos energy: 0/100]

[Hidden effects time freeze activated!]

An evil grin formed on Jack’s face, seeing the world around him slow down. Without delay he saw the ogre’s movement, avoiding them then proceeded up to his head.

Not thinking twice he descended to farok eyes, sinking the daggers in his left eye. Stabbing it multiple times, causing as much damage as possible. Satisfied he then added the finishing touch, shooting three blood balls from his palm.

"One more.." gritting his teeth he clenched his fist tightly. His muscles bulging, with red veins running along his right arm.

’Bam!’ He punched forward with every bit of strength in him. His fist exploding upon impact, cracking the ogre’s jaw a bit.

[Congratulations user on unlocking a new skill!]

[Last stand!]

His eyes couldn’t keep up with the system messages, falling to the ground.
