The orc lord wants me.
He stands in front of Irene and tries to club her out of the way.

He's fast.
I can barely even see him.

Gaggin!

Aileen was catching it with the shield she wore on her left arm.
The wooden shield, reinforced with a steel frame, crumpled nearly to its halfway point.

'Wow, you're really good.

However, Irene herself was unscathed, and her arm was not broken by the blow.
The girl, with a visible aura rising from her entire body, quickly thrusts with the sword in her right hand without pause.

Papapapapap, a flashing three-step thrust.
Blood splattered from three places on the orc lord's torso, but in the next instant, the orc lord's club swung down from above.

But there's no sign of Irene.
She was already at the Orclord's side when the club was thrown down, and the sharp flash of her sword sliced up the Orclord's neck diagonally.

But it was not a deep blow.
The Oaklord swung another sideways attack, and Irene dodged it with a backstep.

'd*mn, what kind of aura defense is that. If it was a normal orc, all of that would have been fatal.

Irene comes back at me with a light thumping step.
Her tone of voice seems a little rough.
It reminded me a little of her when we were kids.

'Will, don't mess with me. I'll take care of this.'

Eileen says and heads back towards the orc lord.
And she and the Oaklord resumed their fast-paced one-on-one combat (dance).

The Oaklord no longer seemed to be interested in me, and was absorbed in Irene.
No, I guess his instincts told him that if he didn't, his life would be taken in a flash.

But there's no fighting if you can't do anything about it.
After all, that's what she does when she gets excited.
Her nature is not so different from Satsuki's.

But I had no intention of helping her either.
I don't expect Irene to fall behind a wounded orc lord.

And the fact is that the Orclord's wounds are increasing with every blink of an eye.
On the other hand, Irene, although she did not seem to have an easy time, was able to accurately deal with all of Oaklord's storm-like attacks.

Of course, it wasn't that Oaklord was weak.
He is said to be able to use aura, though in a very small amount, and in addition to his arm strength, vitality, and agility, as you can see, he also has considerable defensive capabilities by using his aura for defense.

Its threat level is such that, for example, if it were to collide with a group of elven warriors, one swing of its club would knock down the elven warriors one by one, and even if it took a bunch of them, there would be half a dozen casualties before one orc lord was defeated.
An overwhelming irregularity among Orcs, that was the Orclord, a superior species.

But even the Orclord had a bad opponent this time.
He was a genius swordsman of the kingdom.
Since he was wounded by my spell attack, it was unlikely that Irene would be taken unawares.

If that's the case, I should direct my attack resources elsewhere.
Because the situation is much more dangerous there.

'Magic Missile!

I point the sorcerer's staff in my hand forward and release a spell.
Four arrows of light appeared in front of me and shot out at once.

Each of the four arrows of light headed in a different direction, and each of them hit a different Orc.

'Gugyaaah!
'Goooooooooo!

The four orcs that were directly hit by the arrows of light all fell down screaming as part of the body of the part that was hit by each arrow flew off.
All of them were Orcs that had been hit by the first blizzard and were still facing the Elves.

Now there should be only a few orcs left.

Several Orcs were swinging their clubs next to the Elf warriors.

But one of them, the general class, was being dealt with by Satsuki and the three of them, and the other one was being dealt with by skilled elf warriors, including Finola and LeFania, so it didn't seem to be a problem.

'...... Good'.

I let out a breath after seeing the ideal situation completed.
All that was left to do was to check the situation and follow up if there were any signs of a bad situation.

With that in mind, he looked at Irene...

'It was fun. Almost as much fun as the battle with Satsuki.

Ding.
As Irene sheathed her sword, the Orc Lord, who had been torn to pieces by her sword dance, collapsed, blood spurting out from his body.
As expected, Irene won the battle.

I went over to Irene and raised my right hand in front of her.

'You're as skilled as ever. But can't you do something about your battle junkie attitude?

'Thank you. But I'm not sure what to think of it, even if it's said by Will, who took care of so many orcs at once. Also, it's a warrior's fate to be bloodthirsty when fighting a powerful enemy, so forgive me.

Irene walked by and slapped her hand against mine.
