Chapter 323: Tearful Rampage

Chapter 323 - Tearful Rampage

"W, why are humans? Allied forces?"

"Tch, ya dare... kill em—-"

I rushed in without thinking, and now I'm all alone and surrounded by 100 strong ogres... so what!

"[Great Demon Flicker]!"

"Kape"

"Pyah!?"

A fast left to the jaw, and then...

"Who's... the idiot! Who's the coward? Who's the failure? Who?"

The moment I swung, I slammed my right into a temple, a body, or a solar plexus.

"B, Big brother!? Big brother is really excited!?"

"Rather... Brother...... is angry? What should we do... do we also... but, he'll be on his own in that state..."

"Eek..."

"Hold on, he ventured forth alone!! W-what course of action shall we take? Then again... despite this..."

We don't need to work together right now.

I can pretty much figure it out with the radar. All of these guys... are strong ogres... so what!

"Th, that guy..."

"Wh, what the hebeh?"

Just wait... I'll beat up every last one of them.

"Damn it, this guy is so skilled!"

"Surround him, surround and squash him!"

"Bug, don mess with ogres!"

The ogres' huge bodies form a circle around me, blocking my escape route. But, their movement was very slow.

"Oh, get squashed!"

"Got yaaa!"

Fists, metal clubs, hammers, and axes are all huge weapons and powerful enough to shatter an ordinary person's body if they were to hit them.

But......

"[Magical Footwork]"

It's too late. It's too slow. Rebal was much faster in the Imperial Match.

In other words......

"Wh, what... is that?"

"This guy, keeps moving ... damn, running around!"

"Hah~, damn it! Too damn, ha~, fast!

Their speed was so different that they couldn't even touch me.

No, in the first place...

"Running around? Then... try hitting me with that fist of yours."

I stopped in my tracks and taunted one of the ogres who was swinging his fist around.

I stood in front of him and exposed my face.

"Th, this puny thing... d, don't mess with me!"

Then, the demon shouted angrily at my provocation and put all his strength into his body.

Then, he raised his right arm and swung it down towards my face.

"I'm going ta crush ya ―――― "

"[Great Demon Head-butt]!!"

I head-butted the fist that came towards me with great force.

―――Gusha!!

Undoubtedly, that was the sound of bones breaking and flesh being crushed.

"Huh!? B, big brother!?"

"Wh, what are you doing, Brother?"

"Hold, w, w, hat, what folly?"

"H, he's surely killed..."

A punch delivered from a strong arm. Normally, I wouldn't take it like this.

But this time, having compared it to "that time", I didn't see it as a threat.

"Ah... this is definitely different."

Yes, it's definitely different.

"Eh, gu, uuaaAAAAAAAAAAHHH, m, my, my FIIIIIIIIIIIIIST!??

The ogre screamed as his fist broke on my forehead.

"W, wow, Big brother!?"

"What a way to take it... but...... so cool... that's my Brother!"

"Goodness... truly remarkable, young man."

"Well, I never..."

I myself didn't care much.

No, it doesn't change the fact that it hurts, but my heart didn't waver at all.

"So different..."

"Gah, ha, hi, hii!?"

"Compared to that punch where my brain felt like it was exploding inside my head, sparks flying from my eyes... this feeble one is nothiiiing!"

"Huh!?"

"[Great Demon Solar Plexus Blow]!"

"Kohyu!?"

"I mean, a grown man shouldn't scream so easily! [Great Demon Head-Butt]!"

"Gah, m, ma nobe, ma teef, ah, ah, ahhiiiiiiii!?"

When I delivered a blow to the pit of his stomach, the ogre simply fell to his knees and vomited in agony.

But, the moment he fell down to his knees, I head-butted him in the face.

"W-what... who is this human!?"

"How can he... Damn it!"

"No way, he's a big shot from the Allied Forces..."

It only took a few seconds. With just that, the expressions of the ogres, who had been smiling incredulously until just now, turned pale.

"W-what is this...this guy..."

And even the blue-skinned ogre seemed to be confused by me.

"Yes, surround him! If ya do that, such a puny gu――――"

"[Great Demon Corkscrew Blow]!"

"Bagyu!?"

But to be honest, I don't think I can stop now. I don't think I'll have much mercy left in me.

The more I punched, the more I felt like my fists were about to explode, instead of feeling refreshed.

"I... I get it. You were all massive, frighteningly strong, and yet he was kinder than anyone else... an ogre whose heart was so much purer than ours!"

The blood flowing in my body was boiling.

"And because I was weak... because of me, my good friend disappeared before me... yet all of you..."

With these eyes, these expressions, these mouths, these smiles, it's just that they were the same ogre as Mr. Aka...

―― Well, I'm an ogre, so it's impossible for people not to be afraid. It's a common occurrence.

That alone... stained Mr. Aka.

―― I... I want ta make friends with people, but I'm scared. Humans find me scary.

"Because of you all..."

―― Well, I do.... one person at a time.... making friends.... having fun, playing games, having them over for a meal... ah, like that

"Guys like you!!"

―― I knew. Ogres weren't such a race originally. Everyone has changed because of the 'war'.

"Ogres... demons, humans... everyone is always at war!"

―― Yer my only friend in the world, so I want ta bother Earth.

"Damn iiiiiIIIIIIIIITT!!"

I can't see anything ahead anymore.

All of you, get flying! [Great Demon Rush]! Rush! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSH!!"

I should have been angry at first, but the more I punched and the more I lashed out, the sadder I got.

"Hi, hi, what the heck is that... we are the Hakuki army, strongest in the Demon King Army..."

"He's like a storm... m, monster..."

"Why, why is this guy here! It should be an easy mission ta catch some elven bugs and the women for the first time in a long time! What――――Pugya!?"

I kept beating up about 90 ogres, and the rest hung back, scared and stunned.

"Yeah, what rotten luck."

Seeing their expressions, my feet and hands finally stopped.

"Damn it... this war, get it over with will you...you stupid father..."

I was so angry that I couldn't help but mutter something like that."

"...... ku...... ya guys, stay back... I'll take care of it."

""Captain!?""

I thought everyone had lost their fighting spirit, but there was one person who was different.

He's Captain Aonii.

It's true that his atmosphere may be different from the other ogres, but...

"I'll deal with ya...huh? Hey, what are ya crying about?"

"...... Huh?"

Hearing this, I hurriedly wiped my eyes. It's true... I... before I knew it...

"Wait, Aonii! That guy... he..."

Then, at that time, Larou'iph raised her voice in a panic...

"That man... might have some connection to Aka! And..... believe it or not, they are friends..."

"Huh!?"

"Perhaps Aka is... alive――――― "

"Aka's dead! I don care about the dead guy! He's dead, and that's what I'm reporting, young lady!"

Mr. Aka... he's alive... but, it will be more than ten years before he meets me...

"Hey, what is it? What are ya planning, pretending ta be a friend of a dead, stupid Ogre?"

"Ah?"

"In the first place, humans being friends with ogres? That's impossible. Puny, weak, and deceiving humans don deserve a thing."

"...... What's that?"

Oh, thank goodness... my anger and fighting spirit, which had begun to fade and become conflicted, has been reignited.

"Ya seems to be a bit strong, but I can't trust ya with that much. Well, if ya beat me, I'll believe in ya a little."

Somehow, he had a sarcastic smile on his face.

If that's the case, I'll end you in seconds.

『Ogre warrior Aonii... whatever the outcome... I shall bear witness to all.』
