CH 71

I kept activating and firing my skills one after another at the giant ogre while keeping distance, but it hasn’t died yet.

“Not dead yet?…… Isn’t this guy way too tough?”

In the end, even my [Explosion] has reached its skill-usable limit.

Unfortunately, my firepower is insufficient. It isn’t enough to finish off the enemy.

No matter how tattered its body became, the giant ogre slowly approached me step by step.

“So, this didn’t do any good either, huh?……”

No matter how I look at it, the giant ogre is tattered. Even so, it was heading towards me without collapsing.

Of all the skills I have, the firepower of the skills imitated from Kamiki-san are by far the best, and it doesn’t seem like the giant ogre can be defeated with my other skills either.

Now that all my skills are completely used up, I have nothing left but the survival knife held in my hand.

I don’t think my close combat ability, which falls short even to a goblin, will be effective against the giant ogre.

However, if I back off here, Aoi and the others will have to face great pressure.

Although they currently seem to be pressing the monster, the situation will be completely reversed if they have to face two monsters simultaneously. That’s why I can’t escape here.

This is the exact situation of ‘a tiger at the front and a wolf at the rear.’

“Haha……”

An old story suddenly came to my mind; I felt strange at the thought that I let out a laughter unfit for the current situation. However, Aoi won’t be able to escape if I die. To prevent that from happening, I set my brain to full operation in this extreme situation.

Is there something, or any methods, I can use to overcome the current predicament?

Without averting my eyes from the approaching giant ogre, I searched for clues, which could lead me to victory.

I wouldn’t have noticed this slightly peculiar thing if I were in a normal situation.

But because my concentration was currently pushed to the limits, I noticed it.
