Raised in Dungeon-Chapter 19 19 : Heart Of Soldier

"DEMON'S CURSE : ORC's RAGE"

The Queen Orc's shadow spread rapidly throughout the room.

Leofric, who was attacking the Queen Orc, stopped because the tip of his lance hit something. In front of Leofric, another orc came out of the Queen Orc's shadow. The orc immediately fell because it received Leofric's attack.

One by one, orcs came out of the Queen Orc's shadow all over the place.

"Damn it, so this is Queen Orc's demon's curse!"

Many orcs arise from Queen Orc's shadow randomly in every place, making the soldiers behind immediately shout in fear.

"WAAAA!!!"

"ORC!!!"

In that situation, Waldo shouted

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? REARRANGE YOUR FORMATION!"

The soldiers that Waldo previously led, quickly get ready. Then they were followed by the other troops, who also formed to fight the other orcs. Petronella immediately drew the soil symbol on the floor and activated a guard type of amnis.

"Rock Wall,"

From the ground, a rock appeared, raised to the surface. The rock created a circle barricade around her. So that George, Blanche, Maurice, and Mathias could take refuge in it. Unlike the soldiers in front of the wall, Petronella and the others were in the middle. This was a bad spot for them because the orcs could attack them from any direction.

"D*mn it! If only there had been fire spirits nearby, I could have killed them all at once!" cursed Petronella, a caster who primarily uses fire-type amnis.

Petronella created a high foothold inside the wall rock so they could see out of it. Maurice and Petronella climbed up.

"There are so many of them, and they still keep popping up. Isn't this getting very dangerous, Mr. Mathias?" Maurice said as he shot his arrows at the orcs.

"What can we do?! We won't be able to stop his highness!" 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Meanwhile, up ahead, Leofric overcomes the orcs with a single strike. Every orc that came out from within the shadows at his feet was instantly killed with just one slash.

"Oya oya... So, this is your demon's curse. Because of the dungeon reset earlier, your mana became overflowing, and now you're using that to create many orcs. But there's no way you can make these orcs indefinitely."

"With that parallel mind and that weapon, there's no other way to defeat you," Queen Orc retorted.

"No, that is not true. Before, you could take my right hand just by using a few traps. Now, with thousands of orcs, you're really making my situation CORNERED."

There was a slight stress on the "cornered" word that Leofric said. Only Heit understands the significance of that stress.

"Are you going to use that, Master?! Here?! Right now?!" said Heit frantically.

"There's no other way, Heit. I have to use it."

The Queen Orc, who overheard their conversation, felt the confidence of winning within them when they used "that," something that the Queen Orc didn't know. More or less, she knew what they meant but didn't know what it was.

'Is he going to use his God's blessing? Because I don't know what his God's blessing is, I can't move carelessly,' thought Queen Orc.

Leofric dashed toward Queen Orc and attempted to stab her again. But every time Queen Orc was about to be stabbed by Leofric, she created an orc in front of her as a meat shield. Even so, Leofric still wildly thrust his lance randomly at Queen Orc. His face was smiling, greased with orcs' blood, like a madman.

'He is getting even faster! But it's still useless, no matter how many times he thrusts his lance at me. As long as you are within the scope of my shadow, I can create an orc as a meat shield to protect myself, and then…'

Then, while Leofric was busy attacking the Queen Orc, he was attacked from behind by a created orc. Leofric had to duck and spin his lance backwards to deflect the attack of the orc behind him. The orc behind him fell, its legs splitting. But when Leofric turned back to the Queen Orc, the Queen Orc kicked Leofric's body.

"I am not just using orcs as a shield; if there is no cleft in your defense, I will create it."

Leofric was thrown back a few meters. His body rolled, but he quickly regained his posture and jumped towards the Queen Orc. Once again, the Queen Orc created an orc as a meat shield, and when Leofric's Lance hit the orc, she created an orc behind Leofric and then kicked him. Queen Orc repeated this over and over again; every chance she got, she launched an attack.

The battle of strength turned into a battle of stamina.

In the back line, there were more and more casualties, and both noble and common soldiers were badly hurt. Petronella, the caster type who often attacked, was now forced to take care of the soldiers with defensive type amnis, along with Blanche. Petronella's right hand activated defensive amnis, while her left hand activated attack amnis. She used the water element of amnis which split the orcs' heads one by one.

"They're too many! I can only use ten more. Mathias, there's no way we're going to the second floor, right?" asked Petronella.

"Of course, from the beginning, his highness only wanted to confirm the anomaly in this dungeon. I'll convince him to retreat. For now, Petronella, don't let Barony Waldo Barkaley die," said Mathias.

"Why? Everyone's life is equal for me, and I'll protect everyone."

"Just focus on him. He's the heart of the soldiers; if he dies, the soldiers will be in chaos."

Waldo was at the forefront, skillfully using his sword technique to cut down the orcs. Not only that, every time an orc attacked the soldiers, he quickly moved and protected them.

Arthur, who saw Waldo's struggle, felt guilty that he was injured. Now he could only help Blanche pull out the wounded soldiers.

At a time like this, there should be someone to help them. It was

'Allen! What are you doing?! Lord Waldo has entrusted you to protect us when things get bad!' thought Arthur.

Arthur looked at Allen, who was sitting and watching the Queen Orc's battle with Leofric. And strangely enough…

"Why no orcs attacked Allen?"

Orcs are increasingly being created from shadows. One orc died, and two more popped out. The soldiers have no choice but to fight back. If they didn't fight, they would die. Waldo, who had been attacking the orcs while moving around, was moving more slowly. He alone couldn't cover everyone. as the cries of the fallen soldiers grew louder and louder.

"MILORD!"

Arthur, with his sprained leg, now forced himself to hold the sword and block the orc that attacked Waldo.

"Arthur, I'm fine. Come back!"

"No milord, even if it's only one hand, I'll fight."

When she saw them, Petronella snickered.

"Don't blame me if you're crippled for life," Petronella said.

Arthur's body glowed green. Petronella used the buff type amnis

"Papaver saw swathe," an amnis that reduces pain.

The fight continues. But even though Arthur and Waldo worked together, they were still outnumbered. The orc army was too numerous.

The situation was becoming increasingly precarious. Petronella had run out of mana, and so had Blanche. Waldo was already exhausted, and Arthur's painkilling effects slowly wore off. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

In that precarious situation...

Suddenly...

"K N E L L D O W N"

Someone's voice, echoed in the room.

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

-BRAAAAG!!!

There was a loud sound echoing in the room. The sound was so loud that it affected the space; the sound waves could be seen propagating in the room. The sound came from where Queen Orc and Leofric were fighting. All humans who heard the sound spontaneously covered their ears; some broke their eardrums.

Meanwhile, all the orcs fell down.

"Wh-what's going on?!" shouted Petronella.

The orcs weren't dead; they were just falling, and many were kneeling; none could move.

Mathias didn't cover his ears; blood was coming from his right ear. Blanche immediately approached Mathias and wiped the blood from his ear.

"What is this, Mr. Mathias?" asked Blanche.

Mathias looked at Blanche and Petronella. Petronella seemed to realize what was happening.

"Don't tell me…"

"That's right, Petronella. His highness used God's Blessing. This is the effect of his God's Blessing"
