Praise the Orc! Chapter 190:
Chapter 190 – Kill the Thunderbird (3)
Zankus headed in a different direction from the ogres . Crockta’s group followed him .
“Is this the right direction dot?”
“I don’t know . ”
Zankus ran without looking back . Crockta gauged the direction . The ogres were traveling straight after the thunderbird, while Zankus was moving in a semicircle . Looking at Zankus’s trajectory, he had already guessed where the thunderbird’s nest was .
“Just follow Zankus . ”
At that moment, one ogre appeared . It seemed to be a straggler from the group . Their eyes met as the ogre showed its teeth . Crockta pulled out New Slayer . The ogre’s head suddenly exploded as an arrow had passed over Crockta’s head and penetrated the ogre’s skull .
Zankus . Zankus, who was in the lead, turned and shot an arrow with the huge bow . The arrow was also big and looked like a spear . Tiyo stopped and looked around after the arrow hit . For Tiyo, it was really oversized .
“Coarse arrow dot . ”
The arrow turned round and round .
“I am also skilled in spear techniques!”
Zankus smiled and turned around . Crockta’s group watched him before following again . They continued through the great forest . Then a mountain rose in the distance . It was a steep slope, as if someone had artificially created it . Ogres were climbing the bottom of this mountain
“Hrmm…”
Zankus loaded an arrow and watched the movements of the thunderbird . He seemed to be thinking about something .
“They are approaching . ”
The ogres climbed the mountain like ants . It was an amazing sight . Just a few ogres could cause a disaster in a city, but dozens of ogres had gathered to catch the thunderbird . A few cities would be destroyed if this group was released onto the continent .
“Thunderbird . ”
The thunderbird felt the crisis and flew warily around its nest . Gusts of wind blew when it flapped its wings, causing a few ogres to topple over .
“Kuwaaaaaah!”
The angry ogre wizard roared . The thunderbird hurriedly flew higher but was hit by an unknown force . The thunderbird staggered as its feathers scattered every which way .
“They are nearing . ”
Zankus and Crockta’s group approached the mountain while watching the battle . Suddenly, one ogre climbed to a flat area . The moment it was going to put its feet on the flat ground…
The thunderbird attacked the ogre . The ogre wielded a club . The huge bird and ogre tangled together . The thunderbird’s claws shredded the ogre’s body . However, the **** ogre resisted until the end . The ogre wizard’s magic **** the thunderbird once again, allowing the ogre’s club to hit it .
“The thunderbird is in danger dot!” Tiyo shouted while watching . Meanwhile, other ogres were on their way . Another ogre grabbed the tail feathers of the thunderbird . The thunderbird struggled wildly . The ogres fell down again .
The ogres persistently clung to the thunderbird . Like a swarm of ants, the ogres climbed onto the thunderbird’s body . The ogres used their nails and teeth to harass the thunderbird . The ogres kept attacking .
“I don’t know why it is fighting the ogres…”
Thunderbirds were legendary because of their huge size, beautiful appearance and great speed, not for their strength in fighting . The thunderbird that he knew would’ve flown around snatching the one at a time, instead of tangling together like this .
“I’ll try to drop some . ”
Zankus aimed his arrow . His arm muscles swelled up . The giant spear was pulled back to the fullest . Zankus’ archery was different from Shakan’s . He was like a cannon .
“Bul’tarrrr!”
Zankus pulled the bowstring back all the way and let go . The arrow burst out with a roar . It just the mountain just below where the thunderbird was struggling .
Kuaaaaaaang!
The whole mountain shook like there was an earthquake . The ogres barely clinging to the mountain fell at once . The rear collapsed and the bodies of the ogres poured down in layers . The ogres on the bottom were crushed and died . Most of the ogres approaching the thunderbird were washed away .
The thunderbird didn’t miss this opportunity and moved . The ogres clinging to it fell off . Once its wings were free, the thunderbird grabbed two ogres and flew into the sky . It rose to a high altitude and dropped the two ogres . The ogres crashed . Their bodies couldn’t withstand the shock of the fall and smashed to pieces .
The terrible shriek of the thunderbird echoed through the great forest . But the ogres didn’t give up and climbed the mountain again . The ogre wizard was screaming in anger while constantly sending magic towards the thunderbird . As lightning flashed, the thunderbird moved its wings and avoided the attacks . The two of them stared at each other and moved .
Despite the ogres’ persistent attack, the thunderbird flew around its nest without escaping .
Zankus watched it and said, “We must approach first . ”
Then he rushed quickly without listening to Crockta’s reply, who followed with Tiyo .
“Uhhhh…”
However, Anor didn’t have the strength to move anymore . The exhausted Anor stopped and caught his breath . He bowed his head and panted for a while .
“Excuse me…?”
But the group had already gone too far . Anor became despondent .
“More than this…”
Anor used his magic power as the power of a necromancer unfolded .
“Ah, this is?”
He stopped when he found what he was looking for . He put his hands together and concentrated his strength . The earth was disturbed and a bony wing popped out . Anor used the power of a necromancer to revive an animal that died not long ago, in order to ride it .
The shape was soon revealed . The owner of the wings that let out an eerie cry!
‘Chirppppp… . chirpppp… . ’
An undead sparrow . The sparrow flew and sat on Anor’s shoulder .
‘Chirpppppppp… . ’
Anor dropped his arms . The cry was eerier, but it was a cute bone sparrow .
“Ah, I don’t know . ”
Anor just sat down . The sparrow kept on chirping on Anor’s head .

Zankus approached the rear of the thunderbird’s nest . Some of the ogres exploded because of his arrow . His bow was destructive . Zankus retried the arrows and carried them on his back again . Rather than an archer carrying arrows, he looked like a warrior with multiple spears .
“Go this way . ” The thunderbird was distracted by the ogres and wasn’t paying attention to this side . “I will go up my own way . If you are confident, you can imitate me . ”
Zankus threw his huge arrow and stuck it in the rock wall . Then he jumped up . The arrow bent and he used the recoil to fly up into the sky .
“Ouh!”
“……!”
He used the tremendous jump and quickly reached a high place . He placed his hand in a rough niche and grabbed on .
“Amazing . ”
He climbed up the cliff wall like a spider . He measured his position and where he wanted to go, then immediately jumped up .
“Okay, me too!”
Tiyo jumped on top of the arrow after Zankus . Tiyo bent down and jumped upwards . His body was light, so he could fly much higher than Zankus . His body was small but he climbed quickly . It was a curious sight . The figures of Zankus and Tiyo became smaller .
“Now it is my turn . ”
Crockta wiped his nose and jumped on the arrow .
Kwajijik!
But due to the shock that piled up, the part of the rock that the arrow was stabbed in fell down . Crockta also fell .
“Cough!”
His body hit the ground and clouds of dust flew into the air . After a while, the dirt covered Crockta rose .
“Kyahahahahahat!”
Tiyo’s mocking laugh rang out from above .
“Kulkul, kulkulkulkul . ” Crockta laughed and said, “I’m angry . ”
Crockta glared at the rock . The angry Crockta didn’t use any tricks . He faced the opponent head on . He stuck to the wall like a cicada . Then he started to climb up using his hands and legs . The angry Crockta’s grip was tight as he found corners to support him . It was an unstoppable climb, like there was something sticky on his hands .
Zankus and Tiyo felt an unknown crisis as Crockta climbed the rock like crazy .
“Ohhhhhh!”
“Slow down, s-scary dot!”
“Ohhhhhh!”
“The rock is shaking dot!”
Tiyo and Zankus moved faster as they felt like a monster was chasing them from behind . They soon reached the **** . The torn flesh of the ogres was scattered all over the place . If they kept climbing up, they would reach the thunderbird’s nest . However, the field of view was so clear that they couldn’t avoid being seen by the thunderbird .
The thunderbird already noticed their presence, but it only glanced at Zankus and Tiyo while facing the ogres .
“Weren’t you going to hunt it? It looks okay now . ”
Crockta stepped on the **** and asked . It was the perfect timing . The thunderbird wasn’t paying attention to Zankus because it was fighting the ogres . If he aimed for a gap, the thunderbird wouldn’t be able to avoid it .
“I’ll put it off for the moment . ” Zankus looked up . He was looking at the thunderbird’s nest on top of the steep mountain . “There is something I want to check . ”
Then Zankus once again loaded his arrow . If Crockta’s New Slayer was a greatsword, his bow was a ballista . He fired the arrow . The goal wasn’t the thunderbird . Ogre wizard . The huge arrow hit the ogre wizard’s shoulder . In the aftermath, the ogre wizard collapsed to the ground . Blood flowed from the wounded area . The ogre wizard roared angrily .
“Kuwaaaaaah!”
The ogre wizard became crazy and started to attack the thunderbird with all its power . The ogre wizard wanted to kill everyone on this mountain . It aimed a spell towards the thunderbird . The thunderbird rose and then plummeted towards the ogre wizard .
The ogres clung to the thunderbird . The ogre wizard’s magic power burned the target, not distinguishing between ogres and the thunderbird . The ogres were torn apart by the thunderbird’s claws and wings . Blood splashed and lightning flashed .
It was a melee .
“Let’s go up . ”
Zankus distracted the thunderbird and started climbing again . His speed increased .
***
The summit of the mountain . They reached the place where the thunderbird’s nest was located .
“Here dot!”
Tiyo pointed to a cave . It was a space that the thunderbird had carved out directly . It was a nesting place that was protected from bad weather by a hard outer wall .
“Why did we come here dot?”
“Shh . ” Zankus raised a finger to his mouth .
“……?”
“This…”
A sound was coming from the nest . Crockta and Tiyo listened carefully .
Crockta asked in a small voice, “Did you know?”
“I just guessed . ”
They entered the cave . An unexpected sight greeted them .
