Chapter 30

Solo Clear – Chapter 30: By Myself . Priest . Victory .

A small party that were riding on wolves were passing through the forest at an alarming rate .
The ground started shaking and dust filled the entire area .

“Do you have a plan?”
“I do . ”

Orkhar quickly notified Master Kalax and headed towards the battlefield faster than the other soldiers .
All of this happened because of one human being .
However, since they doubted his skills, they only took a few of their soldiers .

“Wouldn’t it be better to meet up with the other supporting troops that are following?”

The human continued forward without looking back .
Moments later, he spoke .

“When you’re in a battlefield, you’re only victorious when you block the enemy’s attack…is that correct?”
“It’s safe to say it is . ”
“I don’t know much about war, Sir Orkhar . There’s no war where I live, so I have never experienced it . ”
“Then, the plan you spoke of just now, does it not exist?”
“No, I do have a plan . The reason why I said I didn’t know much about war, I was referring to detailed strategies and tactics . ”

Orkhar had an even more confused look on his face .

“We’re here . I can sense that there’s a lot of them . ”
“There’s a secret passageway to the base . I’ll lead you to it . ”
“Sir, please go to the base and command the troops there . ”

The human suddenly broke away from the group .
Because it happened so suddenly, Orkhar didn’t have the chance to stop him .

“He’s going towards the enemy’s base . Shouldn’t we go after him?”

Despite of their suggestions, Orkhar stood his ground .

“I’ve met a lot of humans . However, when we told them that we would be heading towards the battlefield, their eyes were filled with fear . The fear of dying . But I can’t see that fear in his . Let’s stay put . I’m sure he has a plan . ”

Swoosh!!

After approaching near the enemy’s base, I signaled the wolf that I was riding to head back .
It’s because I lacked the experience of fighting while riding on something .

“There’s hundreds of them . ”

There were Elves that were riding deers and challengers were spread out throughout the base as well .
The Orcs were able to endure it because they raised their base’s defense .
It was part of their strategy to buy time until support came, but it was only a matter of time before the defenses were broken down .

“First, I need to break their line formation . ”

After deciding what I needed to do, I jumped up as if I was flying .
Despite of the fact that I was on flying on top of the soldier that was fighting, they didn’t notice me .

Being able to envelop a weapon with mana meant that one had an amazing hidden power .
Being able to control mana in this world was considered very difficult .
Then, what would happen if that mana started moving as if it were alive?
They would’ve laughed and said that no one has ever seen something like that .

Swoosh!!

A blue flame fell .
The road of flame became a strong shield that guarded the front of the base .

“What the?! Does the enemy have a mage?”
“Stop joking around . There’s no way there would be someone here that’s able to control a powerful fire magic like that . ”

After landing on the ground, I destroyed the center of the base .
I quickly attacked just the vital points and neutralized them .

“There’s someone here!!”

It seemed like they haven’t really noticed .
Due to my fast movement, they managed to only catch a glimpse of me .

I managed to take down 30 of them with ease, but was stopped from taking down my next target .
An Elf with green hair attacked .


Their armor had an elegant design, which was different from the soldiers that I took down so far, so I assumed he was different from them .

“Sir!!”

The other Elves called out to him .
It was so loud that it shook the ground of the base .

“You must be crazy . Who are you?”

I calmed myself and fixed my posture .
I didn’t let my guard down after seeing the low-ranked soldiers around me .

“I asked who are you!!”

When the priest stomped the ground, I experienced the Elf’s unique swordsmanship .
Just seeing a glimpse of their flexible swordsmanship was enough to catch my attention .

Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Boom!

I fought against their swords, but no one won .
The Elf Priest became really agitated .
There hasn’t been a single human that fought against a Elf priest or an Orc clan leader .
They sparred against many humans with the excuse that it was for training .
There were a couple that had amazing skills, but when compared to the priest, they lacked a lot .
Their strength wasn’t enough to go against the leaders of the different races .

“This stranger that appeared out of nowhere is making me angry . ”

If I stay here for too long, it’ll cause an issue on the soldiers’ spirits .
The priest started gathering his strength .

“Step aside . He doesn’t look like an ordinary human, so I’ll finish it with one blow . ”

The soldiers stepped away at his command and formed a small circle .
They positioned themselves so that the enemy couldn’t escape and on top of that, they made it so that the priest had the upper hand .
“I’ll tell you my name since you’ll die soon . My name is Malus and I am a priest . ”

Crack!!

Under Malus’s feet, cold air was being released .
He was skilled in ice magic and this was one of his skills .

“This cold air will slowly suppress your movements . ”

Ice flowers started blooming out of the ground and the temperature dropped quickly .
Malus took this chance and charged once more .

Clank!! Clank!!

“I can tell that you’re getting slower . ”
“Oh really?”

As soon as the human said that, he started moving fast and the priest could only catch glimpses of him .
He could barely keep up .
Then, he felt fear when he noticed swords coming from all directions .

“Ack!!”

The Elf’s sword skill relies on going in when they get the chance and counterattack their enemy .
In order to do that, they need to be able to read their opponent’s movements .
However, this human didn’t have a breathing pattern nor did he have a specific stance when attacking .
It was as if he was attacking without thinking much .
Despite of that, his attacks were powerful .
After clashing against each other for a while, the human no longer had the strength to wield a sword .

“You!!”

The Ice Flower bloomed at an alarming rate that it swallowed everything that was around it .
The priest himself was included as well, but since he was the one that casted the spell, it didn’t matter .

“You might think that you’ve won with your sword, but it ends here . ”
“ . . Whew . ”

Despite of being imprisoned within the ice, he started changing his stance .
White steam started rising out from the inside and the surface started melting .

“You melted it with mana?!”

A flame-like mana that was shot down from the sky enveloped the sword .
And after waving it in the air, lightning shot out of it .

Gasp!!

Malus tried to run away, but it was already too late .

Zaaaaaap!!

It released a loud sound as if a turbine was moving and lightning was being released everywhere .
That light ripped Malus into two and headed for its next target .
Ballistas and assault weapons were destroyed and a good amount of Elves and humans were killed as well .

“…Re-retreat!!”

Seeing Malus get killed after he was leading the soldiers, retreating was their next decision .
Instead of chasing those that were running away, he sheathed his sword .
He managed to take out a large number of them within a couple of minutes and sent them running .

“…What the?”

Master Kalax joined afterwards and after seeing what one human did, his face became stiff .

“What happened? Did you do all of this?”
“Yes, you could say that . ”

Kalax turned towards the clan leaders that were behind him .
They were confused as to how they should react to this situation .

“It’s a victory that’s been earned after being defeated so many times . Sir, I don’t think there’s a need to think so much about it . ”
“Brother, you’re right . Let’s go back to the base . This victory is worth celebrating . I would appreciate it if you joined us, human . ”

“…I will obey your command . ”
I saluted him politely .

<By Myself . Priest . Victory . > End .
