Tet had kept three ogres company until now. (TL: NOTICE PAST TENSE HERE!)
Then, she sunk her fist into the fourth ogre"s face and defeated her fourth one.
She wasn"t injured, but she was. .h.i.t countless times and scratched by their talons, so her cheap clothes and armor were tattered and she barely had her bra left or any cloth to hide her body.
"Tet. Put on my spare mantle. Also, guard-san? Could you call over the people from the Adventurer"s Guild for me? I"d like to explain this situation."
"Eh, ah…… understood!"
The people who were trying to escape and scramble for the town stopped their legs and looked at us.
As if trying to escape from their gazes, I pulled over my hood over my eyes to block their gazes and looked at my status.

I raised my level by seven, and my mana went over 4000.
When I came to this town, it was over 2800, but in the one month period that we stayed in this town, I increased my mana with the Seed of Magic and raised my level by seven by defeating ten ogres.
However, I was puzzled by the number of levels that went up from this amount of ogres, but I think the ogre"s experience that my subordinate Tet defeated flowed over to me.
While I was thinking, the guild"s staff from the town gathered, and the adventurers that headed out in order to join the orc king subjugation from the forest"s north side came back.
"What"s with this? Who defeated the ogres?"
"Oi, the ogres that ran away ran here from the north all died!"
"I"ve never seen them die this way. To destroy its brains with a single blow."
"The corpse over here was knocked out! How can you defeat them like this!?"
After that, the story was sorted out by the gathered adventurers and guild staff.
First, the destruction of the orc settlement centered around the orc king has been completed.
However, due to the orc settlement, it seems like a group of ogres that were treated as those orc"s food had settled down in a nearby cave. 1 There were strong individuals that were able to defeat the ogres In the subjugation group, but the opinions were divided into whether they should leave them or subjugate them.
The orc king is a B-rank monster and the nearby orc settlement with 300 members was also dangerous.
On one hand, it was judged that the group of 10 ogres was C-rank and they didn"t cooperate, so crus.h.i.+ng each one wouldn"t be a problem.
On the other side, it was judged that the battle against the ogres would put the orc settlement on guard, making it troublesome, thus should put it off.
As a result, it"s ironic that the group of ogres attacked the town first, and the adventurers that noticed after returning from the orc subjugation became confused and came back.
"Then, before they arrived at the town, Tet and I crushed the ogres."
"Um, you"ve saved us. But, how did you actually defeat those ogres?"
When explaining the entire story, the expression of each member of the Rising Falcon became stiff.
The ogre possesses skin strong enough to be used for the leather armor to be worn by adventurers and is an existence feared as superior to humans in terms of both offense and defense, along with their body strengthening skill.
The typical method of defeating them is to aim for them to bleed to death, or to gradually open up an injury and to deal a fatal wound.
Higher ranking adventurers can slice them apart in one blow, but the corpse would become disfigured.
There were whole ogre corpses that were killed in one blow as if pierced with a thick spear into its head and ogre corpses that were killed by the shock.
"Tet seriously only hit them, you know. My method, to put it simply, was to just use a Magic Crystal with mana stored in it, fired it off at high speeds and pierced its head."
"You shot a Magic Crystal!? ……It said you shot something in the report, but to think you shot a Magic Crystal, that"s a lot of power."
"I put the Magic Crystal"s mana to use and hardened it after all. Then, I neutralized the ogre"s body strengthening while it broke a single point, and when the magic got cut off, becoming disposable physical magic that breaks at the shot impact—-I think it"s what you call a trump card."
In the report, it was concluded that I used my trump card on six ogres, and the expression of the leader of the Rising Falcon, Lyle-san, cramped.
"To use such a valuable thing for the sake of people who were late in escaping…… Also, how much mana was in each of those?"
"Around 1000. Six of those, you see."
Having said that, Lyle-san sighed and muttered in a low voice.
"An attack magic where a shot is five small gold coins…… sure is a trump card, but it"s not worth it."
Even after taking in consideration that the subjugation reward for an ogre is two small gold coins and the leather and selling off the rest of the raw materials altogether, we were still in a deficit.
For a Magic Crystal that could be used as a precious mana tank for magicians numerous times to be disposable high-powered magic might be bewildering.
It might be wasteful normally, but as far as I was concerned, Magic Crystals acquired from [Creation Magic] were as good as free.
I believe that human life is more important than Magic Crystals that were normally expensive in this world.
Thus, the orc king subjugation and the settlement of the ogre attack had concluded, and the Adventurer Guild"s guild master called for me and Tet.

In other words, they ran away.
