6 Death
Because of Sergeant Rina's frenzy attack, the orcs are slowly being pushed back. The orc that is charging towards us also started to turn back to attack her.
'This is great, this is great. She's easily slaughtering the orc, what was I thinking? I should've just left the fighting to her like No.1 said'
"No.2 you take the right and I take the left." No.1 and No.2 started firing at the orc in much more vigor than before. Their faces are showing a trace of panic and urgency.
Looking at them I turn furious. 'Do they want to cause a problem to Sergeant Rina, are they seriously wanting to continue leeching experience after what just happened? Unbelievable'
'I have to stop them'
"No.1 what are you doing? Can't you see the Sergeant can handle it? You might make things worse." I grab the end of No.1's rifle to try and stop him.
He looked at me trying to explain something but before he could alter a word, a shot was fired.
"Bang!"
I suddenly find myself overlooking the sky with my eyelids feeling heavy. Before I could figure out what just happened my body fell to the ground.
....
"What the f*ck No.2? Why did you do that?!" No.1 is shocked he never expected that No.2 will do something like that.
"Half of us is already died because of this f*cker. Can you see he is more dangerous to us than the orcs?" No.2 said nonchalantly, like what he did is normal.
"But still it doesn't mean you have to kill him! We could have tried a different approach". No.1 said furiously.
"As if talking can get through his stupid head, you already tried and this shit happened. He didn't even know what's happening right now. He's being delusional, we're already f*ck" No.2 said, maintaining a nonchalant expression.
"But still-"
"Enough, stop No.1, I only did what I had to. You also realized right? that the Sergeant form put a lot of strain in her body and with her injury, she will not last long so instead of arguing, let just help her" No.2 said while tapping No.1 shoulder.
"Dammit, you win!" No.1 shoves his hand, he is still reluctant to work with someone who can easily kill his comrade without remorse but due to circumstances, he has no other choice.
.....
"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!"
On afar there is a girl covered with red energy furiously hacking at an orc. The orc is equipped with a dull great sword, looking no different to any normal orc except for the battle scars all over its body.
The girl can easily cleave an orc in two using her ax but this greatsword wielding orc is fighting toe to toe with the girl.
The girl covered in red energy is Sergeant Rina and her opponent is a monster who the orcs' called Ombakti.
At first, because of Sergeant Rina's onslaught, the orc offensive faced a standstill but that only lasted for a moment before she attracted the attention of an Ombakti.
"Ombakti!"
"Ombakti!"
Comparing an Ombkti to a normal orc is like comparing a child to an adult.
The appearance of the Ombakti doesn't only represent strength but also status. An Ombakti is someone that survives dozens of battles.
Every orc desires to be an Ombakti but not every orc survives long enough to be one.
With an Ombakti the orcs' morale is at an all-time high. It's only a matter of time before No.1 and No.2 died.
"We're not going to last much longer at this rate," No.1 said.
"and I don't think the Sergeant can take much more of this either" No.2 looked at the battle happening afar and commented.
"I have eyes, I can see that. Damn it why did that monster have to show up now. It's already bad that she has to fight 3 to 5 orcs at the same time. Now she has to deal with that monster too." No.1 said angrily
No.1 survey the surrounding trying to find if there is someone that can help them but other squads are not pairing well either; there will be no one that can bail them out.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Seeing that the situation is bleak with no help in sight No. 2 opted to run away.
"Let just run No.1, this is hopeless," he said
"And leave the Sergeant alone are you stupid. Where are you going to run? reality? " No.1 said angrily, he was furious with No.2's lack of regards to life other than his own.
"We can't lose this base plus we don't even know how to leave this place. As of now, the Sergeant is the only one we know that can protect us. I will not leave her"
"Everywhere is better than here. Tell me the truth No.1. You're only saying that because you've fallen for her right?" No.2 retorted with his normal nonchalantly expression.
"F*ck you!" No.1 said aiming his gun at No.2. He hates this guy's gut. Not to mention killing his comrade he even dares leave the one that protected him without even a trace of sympathy to his face.
"If you want me to stay. Think of something, you're smart, think of a way to save us and your dear beloved." No.2 said without a hint of fear in his face. He already knows that No.1 doesn't have the guts to pull the trigger and he was right as No.1 put down his gun.
"F*ck, give me a minute to think of something."
"Alright, just hurry"
....
Minutes have passed and the situation is getting worse by the second. Almost every soldier in their vicinity is dead. Sergeant Rina is full of wounds and the red energy covering her body is starting to show a sign of fading.
She already reaches her limit.
"I thought of something," No.1 said with a smile
"Finally, any longer and we're going to die. Ok, let's hear it." No.2 said
"Let's use the M67 grenade," No. 1 said, grabbing a bunch of grenades on the dead soldier's body.
"Stop that! I thought you think of something smart, but this is dumb as f*uck, an explosion this close will kill us all"
"Not if we minimize the range of the blast," No.1 said with confidence.
"And how will we be able to do that? Do you have that kind of skill?" Thinking about the miraculousness of this world, No.1 having a skill like that is not farfetched.
"Huh? No. Did you ever watch any action movie? No.1 dismissed him and began a quick demonstration.
"We will use the orc corpses. We will strap them with grenade-like this and we will toss it. The body will act as an insulator"
"Will that work? and even if it does, orc bodies must weigh hundreds of tons can we even lift it? Let's use human body instead, it will be easier." No.2 pointed to No. 4 corpse as if it was nothing special.
"Don't ever think of it!" No.1 said angrily
"We'll put whatever unassigned stat points we have left to strength."
"Just saying using human body is more efficient." As No.2 said this word No.1 put the barrel of his gun to No.2's mouth.
"Say something like that again and I will not hesitate to end you" Unlike before No.1 has a serious look on his face and eyes filled with determination.
Seeing this No.2 just smile.
"Why so serious? hahaha, I'll do what you said, boss"
"Great, let's execute the plan," No.1 said trying to ignore No.2's behavior.
"Let's just pray it works. If not, we'll not only be dying stupidly, we will also be causing Sergeant Rina's death" contrary to what he said No.2 face shows no worries.
With that remark. No.1 think for a second before saying.
"Let's not aim so close to the Sergeant just to be safe"
"Roger boss"
...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Dozens of Orcs blasted into pieces, rain of blood poured like water.
Amidst these explosions, two people are laughing.
"Hahahaha I can't believe it's working," No.2 said as he shot the charging orc in the head.
"Hahahahaha Well it's my plan, what do you expect?" No.1 said as he straps another dead orc with a grenade.
Their plan might not be this effective if they're the only one that's doing it but as the other survivors witness their amazing method. They started to copy it.
"Now those orcs can't gang up with your beloved anymore," No.2 said
"Let's just hope that she can beat that," No.1 said worriedly looking at the monstrous Ombakti.
"We are already doing everything we can, stop worrying, and move faster. There are dozen of orcs coming right at us"
"Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!
"Boom!"
"Boom!
The situation is turning for the better as more and more soldiers find their putting, although Sergeant Rina's is not acting as powerful as before, because of the bombing the pressure on her continues to lessen.
She can now exert more of her attention on the Ombakti.
As they exchange blow after blow. She is slowly getting the advantage.
She landed a quick kick in the Ombakti stomach and followed it up with a slash cutting the Ombakti's arm.
The arm falls to the ground.
This is it, she won.
The Ombakti already lost his weapon, all she needed to do now is give it the final blow.
But before she could end it, a horrifying thing happened, a second Ombakti appeared.
Despair can be seen in Sergeant Rina's eyes as the second Ombakti slashes its giant ax toward her neck.
She immediately retracted her ax and tried to block the second Ombakti's attack. Fortunately, she managed to react in time but the resulting impact flung her away.
"Thud!"
"cough, cough"
"Shit! There's another one?" Seeing what's happening from a distance. No.1 ran frantically to reach Sergeant Rina.
But before he can reach her he was stopped by No.2
"What are you doing? We have to go the other way" No.2 said
"No!" No.1 said breaking No.2's hold.
"Don't be crazy she can hardly deal with one. It's impossible for her now that there's two of them." No.2 said trying to convince No.1.
But No.1 Ignore him and continue running forward.
"Rina I'm coming, I'm coming " He shouted but before he can reach her. The one arm Ombakti notices him.
"Watch out No.1!" No.2 shouted trying to warn him but it was too late.
The One Arm Ombati already slashes its greatsword.
