Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 160

Ancestors’ Tombs (2)

Fortunately, the party did not have to eat orc meat.

This is thanks to Dallen leaving plenty of emergency food in the demon Arbor’s subspace.

While the High Orcs were chomping at the loot from the hunt, the party made a stew using ingredients freshly preserved by the devil’s magic.

Of course, even Lucia’s cooking skills could not completely prevent her from being offended.

The sight of them tearing off the limbs of a species that looked similar on the outside, with only a different physique and tattoos, was a very unappetizing sight in and of itself.

“Mojiri Orcs’ meat is tough! not delicious!”

“Still eat it! “It’s nutritious meat!”

“If this is the case, the goblins are good at cooking! “When I was there, I ate, threw up, and ate again!”

“Woof! Wow!”

It’s a bonus that young orcs with no experience in expeditions bake pizza instead of eating.

“Ah…I feel like I’m going to throw up.”

“Cluck cluck. “Sometimes it’s better to read a book, Interrogator.”

The sight of the old cursing paladin, who had not been seen for some time, was about to pop out again at the sight.

Meanwhile, after hunting and eating Orcs on the first day of the expedition, the High Orcs’ marching speed became faster day by day.

Just as it is really true that orc meat is a nutritious food for high orcs.

‘Or maybe it was my unwillingness to eat disgusting orc meat for even one more day.’

In any case, as a result, the journey that was supposed to be five days was shortened to four days, and then to three days.

It was the third night since we left our respective villages.

An army of seventeen hundred High Orcs was able to enter the Tomb Valley, the only entrance to the sanctuary.

***

Valley of the Tombs.

The place where all High Orcs are buried when they die.

The Valley of the Tombs is a landform with narrow valleys and large and small caves extending in all directions like a spider web, centered around a deep and wide central valley.

And the sprawling caves and valleys are all places where the bodies of the High Orcs are buried.

The more renowned a warrior was during his lifetime, the closer he could be buried to the sanctuary where his ancestors rested.

Naturally, the standard for fame was eating well and fighting well.

Gugugugu….

The ground trembles as if an earthquake has occurred.

The valley of the tomb, the only entrance and passage to the sanctuary, shook as if it could collapse at any moment.

Murmurs of confusion began to spread among the High Orcs.

I have buried many family members and friends, but this was something I had never experienced before.

“Warchief…did he really betray us?”

“Stumpa is no longer warchief. He is the enemy of the High Orcs. An enemy to fight and kill.”

However, instead of being embarrassed, the chieftains sighed with deep regret.

Because they knew the cause of this phenomenon and its meaning.

‘You have activated the sanctuary’s barrier.’

Dallen thought as he lightly placed his hand on the head of the ax at his waist.

The sanctuary where the ancestors of the High Orcs are buried is actually not a facility built simply for the purpose of being a tomb.

The sanctuary is a fortress that was built a long time ago according to the prophecy of the first great chief to prepare for the great chaos that will someday occur.

That was why the first time Dallen witnessed the great war against the evil god was none other than the High Orcs’ sanctuary.

‘Even as the kingdoms and empires built by humans fell and collapsed, the High Orc’s sanctuary stood until the end.’

Kuruk! Crack!

A roar, like a huge beast grinding its teeth, echoes throughout the valley.

The barrier that protects the sanctuary from foreign invasion was activated against the High Orc army.

Giiiiing –

A hazy barrier filled with magic patterns tightly blocks the valley leading to the sanctuary, blocking intruders.

Soon, part of the cliff rising on both sides of the valley fell down and fell like a chunk of rock, completely blocking the front and rear.

Kuung – Kwagwagwa….

A huge mass crashes into the ground, sending dust rising up to several meters high.

“It’s a golem!”

Soon the dust was pushed aside and what was revealed was rock golems over 20 meters tall slowly rising.

“High Orc warriors! Attack the golem!”

“Slash! “Defeat the enemy!”

“Destroy the golem!”

“Fight! Win! Guwaaaa!”

The High Orc warriors responded to Tarum’s command with shouts, each drawing a variety of weapons and charging towards the golem.

Wow!

Guwaaaa!

A green wave rushing like a tidal wave.

Each individual runs a hundred meters in just a few breaths and performs acrobatics by grabbing onto the cliff using only their strength.

Before the golem could even take shape, the High Orcs that covered its entire body like a swarm of ants began pounding on the golem.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo!

A giant golem collapsed without being able to resist the display of such strength that it could break a rock with a punch.

But the battle has just begun.

Weeeeeee!

The fully formed golems begin to counterattack.

From a gaping hole in the center of the rock head, magical energy began to rotate like crazy and shot out in the form of a beam of light.

Quagwagwang!

Kwajijijiji-!

Wherever the light passes, the magic power explodes like a pillar of fire.

A magic ray that easily pierces even the hard leather and muscles of an orc and burns the skin alive with just a swipe.

It was a moment when the battle line of the Orcs, who were rushing forward, was disrupted by dozens of bombardments coming from front and back.

“Elle – memento elegus.”

In the middle of the orcs’ formation.

A golden wave explodes.

A dazzling remnant of light fills the valley, drawing concentric circles one after another.

「Domain opening: The hand of the earth that rewinds the spring」

The power of the realm of the great wizard who treats each being as the ground, reads the timeline, and intervenes reveals its power.

“Elle – Memento Cassibolg.”

A spell created with a complex hand sign.

As a disciple, Tommy stays by the teacher’s side and assists him by constantly chanting and performing hand signs.

The golden light that rose from Felber’s fingertips due to the spell concocted by the priest rode on the waves and spread out in all directions.

Weeeeee…chijijik. Crackling.

As a soft golden glow covered the golems, the magic bombardment lost its power and faded away.

The time period of the destruction spell given to the golems was completely fixed by returning it to before the barrier was activated.

Of course, the power of dozens of golems themselves was not nullified. This means that the destructive power resulting from its enormous size remains the same.

However, as long as the bombardment stopped, there were hundreds of fighting fanatics who would take care of the rest, so such minor issues did not matter.

“They can’t get the light out of their eyes!”

“The hot beam of light has disappeared! “I can break a rock!”

“Slash! “High Orcs attack less!”

The High Orcs, freed from the bombardment, rolled their eyes and rushed at the golem.

The warriors start by clinging to their limbs and climb up to their torsos and heads, striking down with large weapons to chip away at pieces of stone, like miners splitting rocks.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh…!

Coogung! thud!

Every time the golems kick or swing their fists, they fly around and flutter around, but unless they are seriously injured, they jump up and run again.

“Go in first. “Me and Tommy will take charge of this together with our friends who like to fight.”

Felber said without stopping the prisoner. Unlike before, not a single drop of cold sweat fell from his grinning face.

Underfoot, golden waves were still emitting regularly, stopping some of the functions of additional rock golems that were popping out.

Although it is much easier than returning the True Dragon’s true body to the past, it is a very difficult task that directly touches the timeline.

The fact that he was able to do such a task with ease was proof that his body had risen to a higher level after months of hard work.

“Wizard Qinggu is helping us! “Chiefs, follow me!”

As Tarum shouted, the chieftains and some warrior leaders shouted and broke through the golems. They rushed in. Dallen and the rest of the party also joined us.

“An invisible wall is blocking the way! What should we do, Chief Tarum?”

“Come out and see.”

Nettle liquid!

The Dark Moon Spell Slayer is placed straight into the barrier that blocks the valley.

When the power of the big sword was unleashed, the dagger, which was shaking like crazy, exploded and broke the barrier.

“I broke the barrier! “Chinggu is a smart warrior after all!”

“He said his name was Dallon! “This is Daelon, a smart warrior!”

I lost a good dagger, but it wasn’t the time to worry about that.

Since the rock golems were left in the hands of Felver and the High Orc warriors and they infiltrated, the operation from now on is essentially a race against time.

Anyway, magic had grown to the point where it overpowered most spell casters, so it wasn’t a big loss.

Dallen and Tarum ran inside the barrier, leading the cheering chieftains.

Bjorn, who keeps falling behind due to his short legs, solves the problem by having Akasha transform into her true form and fly away with the back of her head lifted.

“Let it go! “Ugh!”

[If you have short legs, don’t be proud. If it were me, I would hold on tight at the right time to tell you to let go.]

“Now, it’s not my pride, it’s too fast!”

The baby blue dragon ignores the terrifying screams and speeds up.

I don’t know when it grew to that size, but it seemed to be well over 2 meters in length.

How much longer did I run like that? At one point, the clock cleared and a huge basin surrounded by cliffs appeared before my eyes.

“It’s a sanctuary!”

“They’re all here!”

That cheer was short-lived.

Awesome!

Dozens of javelins flew in one after another, hitting the ranks from all directions.

“Aaaah!”

“It’s a surprise attack!”

I had already experienced the javelin baptism once during the Chiefs’ Meeting. Each one is no different from a giant harpoon that is fired at a speed approaching the speed of sound.

In an instant, the High Orc warrior commanders fell to the ground, and before they could reorganize their battle lines, dark figures appeared from all directions and began to narrow the siege.

“I am the guardian of the sanctuary!”

“be careful! “The guardians are as strong as the warchiefs of old!”

The chieftains warned, but a third of the warrior leaders had already fallen to the swords of the guardians.

Tarum charged the chieftains who hesitated to use the territory with full of magical power.

“Fight! Don’t be sparing and use the power of the realm!”

“But Chief Tarum, when you fight the Warchief…”

“So you’re going to sacrifice our warriors! “If we don’t win here, there will be no next time!”

The defensive posture of the chieftains suddenly changes due to the roar that sweeps the battlefield.

As the saved power of imagery was released one by one, the magical wind in the area was twisted and formed a huge vortex.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm!

Flames pouring from a huge axe. Blades of wind scatter like a storm with every step.

Gooooooo!

The chieftain let out a roar and expanded his body to more than twice its original size, and the shaman beside him placed his hand on the ground and created a golem of comparable size.

“Warrior commanders assist the chieftains and keep the guardians in check! “The chiefs will deliver the final blow, so if you think it’s dangerous, get out!”

Under Tarum’s instructions, the chieftains and warrior commanders were divided into dozens of groups to deal with the guardians.

Lucia and Akasha Bjorn also formed a group and began to attack the two guardians.

A miracle that twists reality through imagery bursts forth from all directions, and the strong body that has reached the 5th plane confronts it, unfolding the drama of nothingness.

Even though only a little over a hundred people clashed, it was a scene of destruction that far exceeded that of thousands of troops.

Tarum approached Dallen, who had just twisted the neck of one of the guardians and shattered the magic core inside the ribcage with the holy sword.

“Dallen. “I will leave you in charge of the warchief.”

“…Are you going to be okay?”

Dallen asked back.

Tarum’s eyes, filled with determination, were colored purple.

That purple main house is a trace of power that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Giving the gift of rest to a warchief who was possessed by a demon was his natural right and duty as a successor.

There must be a desire to witness the final moments of the former warchief and teacher, so what does it mean to willingly give that position to him?

Tarum’s subsequent confession spoke of the weight of that decision.

“I cannot defeat the Warchief alone. But you can. If we both leave our seats as I wish, many chiefs and warrior commanders will die. It would be better for me to stop the guardians here and for you to go in and deal with the warchief. “My duty is to lead the warriors, not to satisfy my own greed.”

“…It’s sublime. I get it.”

“I don’t know what difficult words to say, but I think it’s a compliment. thanks.”

With those words, Tarum walked away again. He began to wander around the battlefield, joining the chieftains who were being pushed back by their guardians and helping them.

Seup-

Dallen took a deep breath. Then, he injected a lot of magic power into his legs and kicked the ground.

Wow!

His new type shatters the ground it steps on and escapes the battlefield faster than sound.

The direction of the trail, which looked like a blurry remnant, was the entrance to the sanctuary in the center of the huge basin.

Boss mob experience was always welcome.
