Chapter 60. The Centaur King (6)
16.
Heeeeeeling!
The sound came from a very far distance away, from where the prepared resistance members were gathered.
It was a really vague sound.
If you weren’t paying attention, it was so faint that you might just dismiss it as the sound of the wind.
But the resistance members knew the moment they heard the sound.
‘It’s a scream.’
This sound was not just any sound, it was the scream of a centaur.
Moreover, the centaur was a very strong monster.
At the same time, it was a monster with the heart of a warrior.
A monster that, even when deeply wounded, roars in rage rather than screams in pain!
So, in almost every case where a centaur screams, it was only one instance.
‘It’s the end.’
When you are injured to the point of death.
Naturally, questions arose in everyone’s mind.
Why are the centaurs screaming when they haven’t even fought a battle yet?
Of course, the cause of the scream was already known.
‘It’s El Palm.’
Because in this situation, there was only one person alive and moving: El Palm.
And the moment they thought of El Palm, all their doubts disappeared.
Not everyone has experienced it, although it is not certain.
El Palm helped them.
And that too with a very surprising ability.
If so, then the current situation was the same.
‘El Palm is helping us.’
This was a signal that El Palm would be sending a separate force to keep the Centaur hordes in check to aid the Resistance.
When he got to that point, Alby clenched his teeth.
‘He is my benefactor.’
That was anger.
‘Treating me like that.’
In this situation, I feel angry at myself for treating El Palm so badly, even though he burned his body to help the resistance.
It wasn’t just Albi.
All the resistance members who reached that point engraved gratitude towards El Palm in their hearts.
Of course everyone knew.
‘This restraint won’t help much, though.’
What El Palm can do alone is extremely weak.
However, the fact that he risked his life to help did not change.
Moreover, even the smallest help was something the Resistance was deeply grateful for.
“Remember the direction from which the sound came.”
Wherever that last word is heard, there is most likely no centaur.
So, if you run over there in a moment of crisis, your chances of survival will increase.
But that feeling of gratitude didn’t last long.
Doo doo doo!
Because the sound of the ground shaking began to quickly approach the resistance members.
“It’s the Centaur King!”
The sound of the Centaur King moving once again to wipe out the resistance group that has invaded his territory.
“Let’s launch the operation!”
The moment they saw it, the resistance also moved.
17.
It was a fierce battle rather than a fierce one.
“Wild Shot!”
Wild Hunters, who were assigned to a special force mission, were excellent hunters and were now using their skills with all their might.
“Sonic boom!”
Kyaaaaah!
Even their clones, the jaguars, used their skills with all their might.
But it was never a roar to hunt prey.
Heehee!
“Get back! Get back!”
It was just a struggle to get the attention of the Centaur King and his hordes.
To use a metaphor, it was like a fly flapping its wings around a target to annoy it.
That’s why it was so desperate.
The Wild Hunters here are not just any ordinary Wild Hunters, they are at least 4 circles, the core of the Resistance’s core forces!
That meant that they were now being treated no better than flies.
What made them even more desperate was the presence of the Centaur King.

While the Wild Hunter showed off his incredible mobility, the Centaur King went even further.
The Centaur King was faster than the Wild Hunter on his jaguar.
The leaping power was the same.
Phew!
With each leap of the Centaur King, a shadow fell over the Wild Hunter’s head.
Phew!
The shadow of the giant stone hammer held by the Centaur King.
“Well… … .”
Kwajik!
The Wild Hunter, who had been struck by the shadow of the Stone Hammer, was turned into a ball like a fly hit on the palm of his hand.
There were no exceptions.
‘One more.’
The resistance special forces watched the death of their comrades, who were no different from flies.
But there was no anger in their eyes.
The sadness wasn’t deep either.
On the contrary, it was shining in a way that did not suit this miserable situation.
‘There is less damage than expected.’
That would be the case, as this was the tenth death.
It wasn’t a small death.
‘Even though a day has passed.’
However, surviving a day by sacrificing ten people was a much better result than they had expected.
‘It’s going smoothly.’
It was a surprising result, considering that over 150 people were prepared to die just to survive for a week.
Of course, this result was not accepted so positively.
“Mr. Albi.”
“Yes, the special forces are carrying out their mission smoothly.”
Of course, the special forces also felt it, as did Alby, who was observing the movements of the special forces from a distance.
“Thanks to there being fewer centaurs than expected.”
The reason why things went smoothly was because there were only a few centaurs around, so the Wild Hunters were able to escape easily.
On the contrary, that’s why I was worried.
“luckly.”
The low centaur population is not the Resistance’s intention; it’s just that there are no centaurs around here, luckily.
If this luck did not follow, from that moment on, the worst outcome was inevitable.
That’s why everyone watched the situation with tension in their throats.
Always thinking that the worst could happen at any moment.
And another day passed.
“What about the damage?”
“Only six people died.”
This time it went more smoothly.
The reason was the same.
“Thanks to the absence of centaurs around.”
“You’re so lucky.”
The resistance, including Alby, were delighted with the good fortune, but they did not let their guard down.
Still prepared.
And the third day.
“What was the damage today?”
“There are four people.”
The results were even better, and for the same reasons as before.
But this time, I didn’t just accept that good luck.
‘how?’
This time, a question was raised.
‘There are no centaurs like this?’
According to information obtained prior to entering this place, there should be at least tens of thousands of centaurs here.
That is, the centaur had to be hit by the foot.
However, the number of centaurs encountered by the Wild Hunter detachment over the three days was less than a thousand.
Something I can never understand.
‘There is something.’
So, at this moment, Alby had no choice but to change his plans.
“Organize a search party.”
“Search party?”
“I need to search around here. No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange that there aren’t any centaurs here.”
“Okay. What should we do, members?”
“I just need one Wild Hunter to accompany me.”
Albi moved to personally assess the situation.
“Alby, let’s get on!”
So, behind the Wild Hunter, Alby, riding on a jaguar, moved to search.
“Look around you carefully.”
“yes!”
Then he gave an order to the Wild Hunter.
But that order turned out to be meaningless.
Wow!
Because after moving like that, Alby, Wild Hunter, and Jaguar were able to discover them not long after.
“Ah, Alby.”
“… … It’s a corpse.”
The corpse of the centaur.
“That too, enormously.”
Corpses stretched endlessly across the forest floor, as if covered with a carpet.
The moment they saw it, Alby, Wild Hunter, and even the Jaguar could not help but be shocked.
I could never have imagined such a sight.
What was surprising was the condition of the body.
Alby, who got off the jaguar, couldn’t help but be terrified the moment he saw the centaur’s corpse.
‘Clean.’
Because there wasn’t a single proper wound visible on the centaur’s corpse.
‘Except for the head.’
There is only one wound, a hole in the skull.
‘how?’
No matter how much he thought about it, it was impossible to catch a centaur in this way by Alby’s standards.
It wasn’t entirely impossible.
There were people who could do this.
So I couldn’t help but be even more shocked.
‘Is Captain Kairin here?’
That was only possible for adventurers above the 7th Circle and those with great skills.
‘No, that can’t be true.’
And this was the Blue Grade Mystic Gate, a stage where only adventurers of Circle 6 or lower could enter.
‘The only thing that exists besides us is… El Palm.’
Besides, there was only one adventurer who created this scene.
That’s why.
Heehee!
‘this!’
Alby and the Wild Hunters were so shocked that they didn’t notice the centaur herd approaching.
It was a big mistake.
A mistake that no one else but Alby, the leader of the resistance right now, could have made.
‘It’s surrounded.’
Even the approaching Centaur herd had completely surrounded Alby and the Wild Hunters.
The numbers are quite a lot.
‘More than two hundred.’
That was proof that the centaur herd hadn’t suddenly appeared just now.
They were waiting.
The adventurer who killed them, and something related to that adventurer.
It was an ambush.
Actually, that was a difficult thing to understand.
Centaurs were monsters born as warriors.
Warriors with a fighting spirit who fight among themselves when there are no enemies or prey!
Of course, there were no ambushes in the life of a centaur.
If you die fighting, you die. There was no such cowardly battle.
In other words, the fear that the centaurs were feeling now was that intense.
Of course, it wasn’t helpful to Alby right now.
The only task given to her now was to escape from this place.
“Alby, I’ll get your attention.”
“No, there’s no point in drawing attention to yourself. This is a head-on assault. I’ll clear the way.”
Alby also prepared to fight a life-threatening battle here.
I was confident.
She is a battle mage of the 6th circle!
I wasn’t confident that I would be good at hit-and-run combat, but I was confident that I could tackle the centaurs and turn them into corpses.
There was only one worry.
‘We have to get through this as quickly as possible. If we waste time, the centaurs around us will swarm us.’
That’s not all there is to it.
Alby expressed that determination through his skills.
“Yellow Aura!”
She used Yellow Aura, a buff skill that only battle mages who have made a contract with a god can use, and a yellow aura began to emanate from under her feet and surround her entire body.
“Hoo!”
And with a short breath, she started running towards the centaur without hesitation.
presto.
Alby, who had quickly closed the distance with a centaur, swung his staff and shouted.
“Death Blow!”
At the same time, the moment she used the skill, a purple light began to emit from her staff.
And lights began to shine around the staff like blades.
Sharp light.
Shhh!
The moment her staff, imbued with such skill, was swung, the centaur’s body was wounded.
It was a very deep wound.
Heeeeeeling!
Enough to make the centaur let out a roar of rage.
It didn’t end there.
She didn’t stop at just one attack, but launched ten attacks at the centaur in one breath.
In the blink of an eye, four deep wounds appeared on the Centaur’s body.
Even those wounds weren’t just aimed at the body.
It was an attack that precisely targeted the Achilles tendons of the centaur’s four legs.
Iron fist!
Naturally, the centaur, having lost his tendon, fell to the ground.
Amazing workmanship!
Her skill was also the reason why she became the leader of this resistance group.
Because the most important thing to become the leader of the resistance was fighting power, nothing else.
That was also the reason why Albi was so confident.
‘If you give me 30 minutes, I can catch all the centaurs here.’
Because I was confident that I could catch the centaur faster than anyone else.
It definitely was.
Whee!
‘uh?’
Until I saw something appear through the wind and pierce the skulls of the centaurs in one breath.
‘What, what is this?’
And the moment he saw it, Alby was horrified.
Phew!
Heehee!
Because the one who started mercilessly slaughtering the centaurs was the 1st circle fire attribute magic, Fire Arrow.
‘blue?’
A fire arrow of a color I’ve never seen before!
