??? VS Ogres (2)

"What are you doing?" The young black wolf pokes the boar's dead body then hides behind her and sees if it would move.

There is no answer. He continues to repeat this play several times.

'Should I try putting it in the inventory but it is too heavy for me to lift.'

"Open System"

Ogre's Butcher Knife

The butcher knife is so huge that if it sticks to the ground its height reaches up to her knees.

"Move!" she said to the playing wolf. The wolf flinched at the sight of the butcher knife. He ran and hid behind the nearest tree.

She cracked her neck and circle her shoulders, then started chopping. The blood splatters everywhere and she doesn't bother to care.

After an hour she successfully chopped the boar and put it in the inventory.

[Black Boar Thigh]

Difficulty: Rank F

Description:

The meat from black boar has harder meat compared to regular wild boar because of its mutated muscles.

'Finally, I get to eat some meat. How come I never encounter a live boar ? where can I hunt them?'

"Hey, let's go!" She motioned her head to her side signaling the young wolf to stop hiding and it's time to go but the wolf refuses to move.

'Hmm?'

She approaches the tree and squat beside the scared wolf.

"What is it?"

". . ."

She saw her hands dyed with fresh blood.

"Oh." She remembers where she first found the wolf. Her butchering might trigger some memories. She sighed and settled for a seat beside the wolf.

"I won't do it again." She whispered as she petted the wolf's head lightly. Slowly it's head turn to her and snuggle to her side and fall asleep

"Guess we won't be able to eat the meat tonight." She said as she picked up the sleeping wolf in her arms and walked.

****

"How do you start a fire? Rub two stones? Hmmm . . . I know friction but how do you make it? She stares at the rocks on one side and twigs on the other.

"Should I just steal some ogre's fire?"

She glanced at the sleeping wolf underneath the shade of a big tree.

'It's still early. I should wash up first."

An hour had passed

Two hours.

Three hours.

It's way past noon and the wolf hasn't woken up yet. She tries seeing if he is still breathing and he still is.

'I want to see the ogre's lair in the morning, just when are you going to wake up?'

The wolf woke up after 30 minutes. He stretches its legs before jumping on the girl resting beside him.

'Finally. " She opened her inventory and grabbed the fruits she picked yesterday and put them on the ground.

"Eat." She looked down as she watched the food being gobbled up.

****

Watching from above she saw the whole layout of the ogre's lair. There are only seven ogres visible. Three are resting in their own places.

She smiled.

"Stay here."

She went down to the lair and approached the sleeping ogres and killed them instantly by stabbing their eyes, piercing and screwing their brains.

[Level Up]

She proceeds to kill the wandering ogres one by one and carefully check each tent. She found a total of 4 ogres inside and finished them off quietly.

[Level Up]

[Level Up]

Two additional levels up. She was about to exit the lair when she saw a black fur running around.

"I clearly told . . . shit" She saw four ogre's returning from the forest. She can't casually grab the loitering black fur ball. They will be both spotted immediately.

She went around and ran low as she watched the ogres enter and spotted the black fur wandering in the middle.

"Hold on just a bit." She mumbled.

She silently approaches the last ogre to enter from the back. The wolf noticed the huge presence behind him. He wanted to run but he was frozen from fear.

*Thud* thud*

She skewered the head of the last ogre to enter through the ear. She stepped on the fallen body of the ogre and pierced another ogre in the nape and her spear made a hole in it.

Two ogres heard the falling sound and directed their attention to her. The girl who was just there not long ago has returned and is standing at the body of their fallen comrade. Her eyes are not glowing yellow but pitch black.

She swung her spear without a moment to waste.

"You just can't listen." She picks up the shivering wolf. Behind her are lines of dead monster bodies. Perfectly lying in front of the lair's entrance.

'Even without the 'moonlight effect' I can kill them just fine. Should I go hunt them down?'

After a few minutes of deliberations, she decided to stay. Her chopped boar meat is hanging by the fire and she lets the wolf play around inside one of the tents nearby. It was a peaceful afternoon

She watches attentively the entrances of the lair. Not long after two more ogres returned. They are carrying firewood. She was killed even before they drew their weapons and so were the next waves of ogres who returned.

She can drag and hide the ogre's body without a problem but it is exhausting because of its numbers so she chooses to tossed left or right side whichever is closer where their corpse is.

Fatigue is not building due to the rest time in between each arrival. HP is also not dropping.

The boar meat was finally cooked after hours of grilling. She and the wolf eat the hard meat heartily. After the meal she is back at waiting in the best condition.

Several hours later, the small moonlight lit her face and the bright yellow eyes shone. The ogre with red streaks finally showed up. It was followed by three strong looking ogres. The chieftain finally returned. It walk past the dead bodies of ogre from the entrance focused solely on a lone human standing in the middle of piled up dead monsters bodies

'Not an emergency quest anymore?'

She prepares to attack. She spun her spear and placed it behind. Her attack speed is quicker now than the last time they met, she paralyzed two ogres almost immediately and she finished them off as soon as they hit the ground. The ogre in front of her is someone she is familiar with.

'That one. . . is from that day!' A replay of the young wolf getting thrown at the ground after being caught again.

"That's you." She launched herself a big leap and when it growled she threw her spear lightly while in mid air, she grabbed the end of the spear and swung it grazing both of its eyes. It let out a growl of pain but then she stabbed its throat, hushing its cries. She forces her body weight to let it fall on its back.

Before she managed to pull out the spear, a huge fist hit her side profile throwing her into the dead bodies.

'It hurts.' A giant foot landed on her stomach repeatedly stomping on her. She coughs blood in each stomp. Her mind went blank. The stomping momentarily stops, a shadow of black ball is sticking on the arms of the monster.

The ogre shakes off the wolf biting him. The wolf did no damage.

The wolf let out a painful cry after being thrown to the ground. The girl holding the spear showed up beside the wolf, bleeding and worn out. The ogre looked on the ground where the girl is supposed to be but there's nothing there except dust and traces of blood.

She carried the injured wolf and placed him on the far side before facing the chieftain once again. The monster that half killed her. Only half her vision is functioning but her head is clearly shouting one thing at her.

'Kill! kill! kill!"

She knows that she will not last long anymore so when the opportunity comes she grabs it. The incoming spear instead of avoiding it she sacrifices her right shoulder.

"ARGHHH" she screamed in pain. The pain fully woke her. Once again she relied on pure adrenaline.

``The moment I let go. . . that will be my end." She firmly held the opponent's spear before it was withdrawn. She locked eyes with the monster. She clenches her molars as she sticks her spear at its chin but the skin is too thick and she cannot wait for the paralysis to kick in.

She put her last energy to launch a kick at the bottom of her spear. The bones in her foot cracked as her spear skewered the head of the ogre.

*Ting *Ting* Ting *Ting

She can hear the system notifications ringing nonstop but her vision is blurring red. She fell down on the ground with a huge spear taller than her in her shoulder.

'Potion, yes. I need . . . to use potion.' She mumbled as she fell on the side.

"Ughhh." She groaned. The young wolf frantically jumped around her.

'Ahh. . . your name. I thought about it. . .I forgot to tell you. . . '

"Luna" The last thing she said.
