The assault is sudden

For the past two weeks, Tet and I have been receiving requests to gather medicinal herbs

As a result, he rose to F rank and was able to receive E rank subjugation requests

As for my equipment, I'm still the same, wearing a cane, hooded robe, and a collecting knife, but Tet's has changed a bit

On top of clothes that are easy to move in, she is equipped with armor such as a leather breastplate, and shin pads are added for kicking, giving her the look of a female swordsman

Then, the number of magic crystals created with the daily surplus magic power reached 50, and since the magic crystals were gradually replenishing magic power, the amount of external magic power reached 50,000

However, we were still unable to receive a subjugation request

"Phew, there's a forest with monsters right in front of me, but I'm restricted from entering it. Maybe I should go to another town."

Currently, in Daryl's town, the northern forest is off-limits to anyone below E-rank due to the appearance of the Orc King and a large number of orcs

Also, because the adventurers, including the members of the Wind Hawk, might get in the way of the request to annihilate the orc village, we restricted the entry of lower-level adventurers

"Well, if all goes well, the subjugation will be over soon. Tet, let's go home now."

"Yes, witch!"

Gather the medicinal herbs as usual, put them away in your magic bag, and head towards the west gate

Just as I was about to enter the town after lining up with adventurers as usual, I heard a low roar-like scream coming from the forest

"Tet, be careful!"

"Yes, witch!"

Teto immediately pulls out his sword and stands guard

While the travelers and merchants who were waiting in line to enter the town were on alert, 10 dark-skinned humanoid monsters came running from the forest with all their might

"It's an ogre! Run!"

The sudden appearance of an ogre, famous as a man-eating demon, causes people to go into a frenzy and rush to enter the town as quickly as possible

"Calm down! Slow down! Slowly enter the town!"

It seems like 10 ogres running at full speed will arrive faster than guiding people

"Damn, why are 10 C-rank monsters appearing! Someone call an adventurer from the adventurer's guild!"

"Right now, there's no one left to subjugate the Orc King!"

"Still, call me and have me chase you away from the top of the castle wall!"

"Protect the people to the death! Call for support!"

Also, the gatekeepers who protect the town appear from the castle gates, trembling and giving instructions one after another

"If things continue like this, people outside the town will be overrun...Tet, how many can you deal with?"

"Hmm? I don't know! But I'll do it!"

"Well, I guess I'll just have to try! Let's go!"

Although it's a monster I've never seen before, I don't feel as much pressure as the boss stone golem I fought in the dungeon

It's the size, but the strength is probably even lower

While Tet raises his sword and shield and slashes at the head of the group of ogres, I cast a flight spell

The victory condition is to defeat 10 ogres before they reach the front of the town. Or maybe buy time until the evacuation is over. -- [Fly] [Wind Cutter]!

Previously, it only floated a few meters off the ground, but now it feels even taller and more stable

From a bird's-eye view, Teto fires a wind blade magic at an individual different from the ogre he is dealing with

However, the magic that could cut even an orc in half was blocked by the ogre's strong body, and the wound was only a thin layer of skin

"I see, it's body strengthening."

It seems to increase its defense power by enveloping its body with the magical power within its body

Stone golems were probably better as individuals, but dungeon bosses were able to obtain materials through drops, so there was no need to worry about how damaged the corpses were, so they emitted highly powerful magic

On the other hand, according to the guild's monster encyclopedia, various parts of monsters that exist on earth can be used as materials

"Hmm. Even if I keep attacking poorly, it will only damage the material, but that doesn't mean I can't use high-power fire magic..."

It would be possible to just defeat it, but it seems that some ingenuity is needed to defeat it without damaging the material.

in addition--

"Aaah!"

Tet's sword and Ogre's club clash, but Tet's weapon breaks

"Ah! The sword I received from the witch-!"

Just like that, Teto was hit by the ogre's club and fell about ten meters on the ground

Screams arose from the people lining up outside the town

"Come on! I won't forgive you anymore!"

However, Teto stands up as if nothing happened and challenges the ogre to a hand-to-hand fight with ferocious force

Due to the golem's physical strength and total magical power, Tet's body strengthening strength is several steps higher, and with a single blow, he can shatter the ogre's arm, trip over its foot, and collapse its chest

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

Three ogres rush towards Tet, and while they take care of themselves, they break the ogres' legs with low kicks, cutting down on their mobility one by one

He just punches her back and blows her away, her clothes and armor falling apart, but she doesn't care and continues to attack her

"Tet's fighting style is almost like a berserker. Now, I..."

Even if you fire the wind cutter repeatedly at the ogres that sneak through Tet and approach you, it will only make the ogres' bodies covered in blood and make them angry.

In that case―

"Using the magical power of the magic crystal――"Harding"! Shoot!"

Use [Primitive Magic] to launch a magic crystal, and use the magic crystal as a base to activate [Hardening]

A crystal of super-hardness flies away at high speed, and the ogre notices it and raises his club to strike back

However, the hard crystal flying at high speed scrapes the club, penetrates it, and pierces the ogre's head deeply

Apparently, when it crawled into the ogre's head, the magic power for hardening ran out and the magic crystal shattered in the aftermath of the impact

"Hmm. I guess the experiment in which the magic crystal itself was used as an attack was generally a success?"

Although it is possible to hit pebbles at the same speed, the pebbles will be blocked by the ogre's body-strengthening magic and will break into pieces

So, it is a physical magic that hardens the magic crystal itself and uses the magical power of the magic crystal to neutralize the ogre's body strengthening and penetrate it

"I think the name of the spell is ``Hard Shoot.''

Once again, I activate [hardening] using the primordial magic of the magic power contained in the magic crystal, and shoot it out at high speed with my own magic power

As a result, a super hard magic crystal flies in the same way as a pebble and pierces the ogre's head, destroying its brain

"Yeah. For now, the rest of the material except for the head will remain clean, so let's finish off the rest."

The debris of destruction that was thrown out destroyed the ogre's brain in one shot.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the corpse of the ogre falls to the ground, and the remaining one turns around in a panic and runs away into the forest, but without missing it, I snipe and kill it

"Tet, are you done?"

"Yes, witch! It's over now!"

Tet faced three ogres.

Then, his fist slams into the face of the fourth ogre, defeating it

She wasn't injured, but she had been punched and scratched so many times that her cheap clothes and armor were in tatters, and her bra and torn fabric could barely hide her body

"Tet. Put on my spare cloak. Also, Mr. Guard? Could you please call someone from the adventurer's guild? I would like to explain this situation."

"Oh, ah... yes!"

The people who were trying to run into town first stopped and looked at us

To escape from their gaze, I put the hood over my eyes, blocking their line of sight, and looked at my status

Chise (reincarnated person/witch)

Lv44

Physical strength 420/500

Magic power 2420/4021

My level has gone up 7 levels, and my magical power has reached the 4000 mark

When I came to town, I had 2800, but during my one-month stay in town, I increased my magical power with mysterious nuts, defeated 10 ogres, and raised my level by 7

However, I'm skeptical about the amount of level increase with that number, but I'm sure the experience points from the ogres that Tet, my subordinate, defeated, were transferred to me

While I was thinking about this, the guild officials gathered from the town, and then the adventurers who had gone out to subjugate the Orc King returned from the northern forest where the ogres had appeared

"What is this? Who defeated the ogre?"

"Hey, all the ogres that ran here from the north are dead!"

"I've never seen someone die like this. One blow to the head destroys it."

"This corpse is being beaten to death! How can you defeat it like this!?"

After that, the discussion was organized by the assembled adventurers and guild officials

First, it is said that the destruction of the orc village centered around the orc king has been completed

However, with the establishment of an orc village, it seems that a group of ogres who feed on orcs have also settled in a nearby cave

There were some people in the subjugation team who were capable of defeating ogres, but opinions were divided as to whether they should be left alone or subdued

The Orc King is a B-rank monster, and the village of nearly 300 Orcs is also dangerous

On the other hand, the group of 10 ogres is a C-rank ogre alone and lacks coordination, so it was determined that there would be no problem if they were defeated individually

On the other hand, I decided that it would be troublesome if the orc village was alerted by the battle with the ogre, so I put it off until later

As a result, ironically, a group of ogres launched an assault on the town first, and the adventurers noticed this and rushed back in pursuit of the ogres right after they finished subjugating the orcs

"Then, the ogre was destroyed by me and Tet just before we reached the town."

"Well, I was saved. But how did you really defeat those ogres?"

When I explained the circumstances, the expressions of the members of Kazetaka became tense

Ogres have skin so tough that they are used for the leather armor worn by adventurers, and combined with their enhanced physical strength, they are feared as superior to humans in both offense and defense

The general way to defeat them is to kill them through blood loss, or to gradually cut open their wounds and inflict fatal injuries

A higher-ranking adventurer would be able to cut it in two with a single blow, but this time's corpse was abnormal

There was a beautiful corpse of an ogre that had been killed by a single blow, as if a thick spear had been pierced through its head, and a corpse of an ogre that had been killed by a blow

"Tet, I just seriously punched him. To put it simply, I used the magical power stored in the magic crystal to fly him at high speed and shoot him in the head."

"Shooting out magic crystals!?...There are reports that it sent something flying, but shooting out magic crystals is incredibly powerful."

"I used the magic power of the magic crystal to harden it. With that, I neutralized the ogre's body strengthening and broke through one point.

It's a disposable physical magic that will shatter from the impact of the injection when its magical power runs out---a trump card, I guess.''

Upon hearing my report, Mr. Lyle, the leader of the Windhawks, had a twitching expression, thinking that he had used his trump card on six ogres

"Such a valuable thing for those who were late in escaping… And just how much magical power did it hold?"

"About 1000. That's six."

When I said that and let out a sigh, Lyle-san muttered under his breath

Attack magic that costs 5 small gold coins per shot... It's certainly a trump card, but it's not worth it. and

Even if you take into account the 2 small gold coins as a reward for subjugating one ogre and the sales of materials such as leather, you're still in the red

He may be confused by the fact that magic crystals, which are valuable magic power tanks that can be used over and over again for wizards, have been turned into disposable, high-power magic

In general, it may be a waste, but for me, the magic crystals obtained through [creation magic] are as good as free

I believe that human life is more important than expensive magic crystals

After defeating the Orc King and cleaning up the aftermath of the Ogre attack, Teto and I were called by the Guild Master of the Adventurer's Guild
