When I stepped out into the large space, I saw a sub-human in front of me who was almost twice as tall as me, armed and armed. My identification skills catch it's true identity along with the others around it.

Kobold lv7.
Common Monsters to be killed Active

High oak lv?
?　?　?

Kobolds are similar to goblins. If there is a difference, it's the equipment. Kobolds wear armor and have a mace. I guess this makes the Goblin variant a Kobold.

The boss-like High Orcs in front of me is the only one whose level is not visible, I wonder if Kobold's evolutionary destination is the third orc. And the equipment is a shield and a saber. It's completely iron. And the Kobolds around him look like the mace is iron. Seriously...

This is a powerful enemy. These guys aren't just going in there in the dark. They're just trying to figure out how we're doing. I'd appreciate it if you could give me some time to think about how to attack them, but there are six of them, just like us. I think Toratetsu, Chess and Byakuya can beat Kobold. But Liquor and Sabik will be tough to deal with.

And that's the problem, dealing with the high orcs. It's a power type to look at, but I don't think they'll rely on power to come to us because of their shields. It might be a dangerous enemy for Toratetsu and his team to fight. If so, it can't be helped. I put away my staff and took out the stone sword Lily was using and held it up to the High Orcs.

The high orc who sees this laughs as if it were a fool's errand. Apparently, he's making fun of the equipment. It's true that the difference in performance between a stone sword and an iron saber is obvious. But is it okay to laugh at it?

The kobolds come at me all at once at the direction of the High Orcs. I give them orders too.

'Liqueur and Sabik are in danger, so stay away from the back.

Rikyuu nodded and stepped back with Sabik on his back. Then he gives brief instructions to Toratetsu and the others.

'Take them down one by one. I'll take care of the rest.

With that, Toratetsu, Chess and Byakuya nodded. Kobold and the others jumped at us, swinging their mace at us. Uh-oh, are we allowed to jump? There's nowhere to run, man.

Toratetsu and Byakuya pounce on the defenseless Kobold. Chess stands up and counters a punch to Kobold with an ice punch. Kobold hits the wall and gets stuck, nice work.

Then I go low and twist my body to the side, hiding the stone sword in my own body.

Then, as the mace is wielded, I draw the stone sword and release it. The heads of the two kobolds are neatly severed. Yes, this is a battling technique. It is a technique originally done with a sword and scabbard, but it can be used without a scabbard. Of course it goes without saying that it's better to have one.

Now, the small fry are taken care of. The high orc stepped forward, saber and shield at the ready. It looks like he's run out of room after seeing the battle earlier. 'Interesting.

''I'll deal with that guy. You'll have to watch the tiger beasts.

Toratetsu and the others step back and I step forward and hold my sword in the middle. Now, let's experience just how much swordsmanship this game has to offer!

Me and High Oak step forward at the same time. Then High Oak activates the skill. It's a slash from the top. In response, I kick the ground, closing the gap between me and High Oak in an instant, and slicing through the side. Then I adjust my stance and position myself in the middle.

Taking a look at it, the high orc holds up its shield and looks at us. Heh, you're not as stubborn as Lily... but I've seen the fight between Arthur and Lily and the others. Hence, I know what the High Orcs want. And now I'm going to make my move.

I'm going to cut at them from the top. The high orc sees this and tries to play my sword with his shield. Yes, that's what I expected. This is boring.

My sword changes its trajectory and dodges the high orc's shield as it slides away. Then, just as it hits the ground, I switch swords and step in further, thrusting my shield out of the lower level and slicing through its unprotected belly. I calmly position myself at the middle level.

I knew the extent of my opponent's ability. I'm sorry, but it's not worth talking about.

But the Wolfman has put me out of condition with a scream. There might be something in store for the High Orcs. As I was alert and reliably damaging them, there was still a change. The color of his body, which was green, changed to red. Then the speed of the opponent's attack increased. It's not a special attack, it seems to be purely reinforcement.

The pattern of attacks also increased, but the screams were more troublesome.

After that, the High Orcs were unable to inflict any damage on me and continued to slash me to pieces, and I died.

Well, it was tense, but that's as far as it goes. Then it's time to dismantle it. What do you think this guy is going to drop? Orcs have an image of pigs, but this guy is different. Even if I was to drop the pork, I wouldn't be able to eat it because I'd think about the meat of this guy, so I hope it's not a pig. So, here are the results.

Iron Saber: Rare Level 3 Sword, Quality E
Weight: 20 Endurance Value: 40 Attack Power: 15
A saber made of iron. It is a single-edged sword, lighter and longer than a normal one-handed sword.
It is specialized in slashing by being made with a curved sword.

Fire Stone: Rare Level 2 Material Item Quality E
A stone that possesses the attribute of fire. Can be obtained in volcanic areas and hot places.

Oops, that's a magic stone summoning case. Kobold is nothing. You're not dropping the mace. Still, I thought that if there were going to be situations where I'd use the sword in the future, I'd better take the skill.
