Chapter 78
Orc Battle (2)
[Bubooo…]
When I pulled back the blades that had pierced their brain, those two Orcs collapsed at the same time.
From here on, it would be a race against time. It would be an operation to buy time for the residents to escape and to see how much I could incapacitate the Orcs until the Orc general realized my presence.
I transferred the minimum necessary cargo to my waist pouch and Shadow Storage.
I devoured the last remaining ice sugar and dried meat in my backpack, and to regain some of the physical energy I had lost over the past three weeks, I pulled out the corks of the strength-restoring and magic-restoring potions and gulped them down.
“Phew…let’s go.”
Exhaling a hot breath as if I had drunk alcohol instead of medicine because of the high concentration of the magical elements in the potions. Later I threw down the empty ceramic bottle and my backpack, and started running out of the dimly lit forest where the sun did not reach.
There were only two more food-procurement Orc teams in the forest. They had taken almost the same route every time they came searching for food, so even if their path changed a little, I should be able to catch up with them without many hurdles.
“There you are.”
A few minutes after I started running, I had caught up to the second food gathering group at a distance about 1,200 meters from the first.
I had not yet recovered all of my magic power, but I had used the body enhancement to move while the magic potion was still effective.
