The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 34 - Ogre_1
Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Ogre!_1
Chapter 34 -34 Ogre!_1
The Demon Hunter, Black Wolf, pricked up his ears, crouched down and pressed against the grass, listening carefully to all the sounds between the trees and grass.
The first trial of the Demon Hunter, the ‘Dandelion Trial’, not only enhances their physical bodies but also imparts them with extraordinary perception abilities, however, these perceptual abilities are actually only effective towards magical creatures.
For an average person, they do nothing more than improve their hearing sensitivity.
In dealing with monsters, the profession of Demon Hunter is the most formidable.
Each profession has its own forte, just as society is composed of everyone, not just one type of individual.
The profession of the knight indeed prevails over this continent.
However, in hunting monsters, the knights fall vastly behind the specialized training of the Demon Hunters.
“There’s a sound, yes, this sound is indeed a huge creature, possibly a troll, but it could also be an ogre.”
“They’re…in…”
All present listened attentively.
Ivita curiously looked at the Demon Hunter, Black Wolf, unsure of where the monster might be?
The expression of Black Wolf turned rather odd, then he turned to face everyone. “They are right beneath our feet.”
“There should be a natural cave beneath this piece of land.”
“Follow me.”
Everyone followed Black Wolf into the depths of the forest, after about a hundred meters, they found a deep opening upfront. The diameter of this entrance was as wide as half a carriage.
Black Wolf said, “Right here. The place where your sister disappeared is less than a hundred meters away from this ogre cave. It now seems very likely that they’ve taken your sister.”
“But ogres shouldn’t have the ability to cause an entire manor to lose specific memories.”
The Old Witch sneered. “His father is a formal Knight. It’s very difficult even for a formal Witch to erase a formal Knight’s memory, let alone causing an entire manor’s people to lose their memories, that’s simply an outlandish occurrence.”
“This is impossible.”
“To make an entire manor’s people lose their memories, that would require extremely strong magic power. Neither ogres nor trolls have such power.”
“Neither do I.”
Ivita fell into thought.
If even the Old Witch doesn’t have that ability, then ogres definitely wouldn’t either.
So exactly what happened that caused Brandon to fall into such a bizarre situation?
“Stop worrying about it. As long as I save my sister, won’t everyone remember her again!” Brandon was very agitated. “So it was this close.”
“I wander around here all day, yet I had no idea.”
His face twisted in rage, his eyes gleamed with deep-red ferocity as he drew the sword from his back. “I will slaughter the ogres beneath this cave.”
After saying so, he jumped into the pitch-black cave without any hesitation, disappearing into the darkness.
Ivita was taken aback, the others too had not expected the son of a baron to make such a rash move.
Ivita: “This guy’s a bit impulsive, Black Wolf, what do you think we should do? You’re the expert when dealing with monsters.”
Black Wolf nodded. “Regardless of whether they are ogres or trolls, these creatures are of the magical creature races that don’t set traps.”
“And their living environment needs are similar to humans. Since they are able to live in this cave, it’s safe.”
“We can follow immediately.”
“Your highness, use this.”
Black Wolf threw a short sword which was a little longer than a dagger to Ivita. “This is my last backup weapon. Your highness, your physical strength is good. After entering, not only can you use magic, but you can also use this short sword for self-defense. I will teach you swordsmanship when I have time.”
Ivita took the short sword. “Thank you.”
Black Wolf was right.
Magic enhances his body, even in terms of endurance; he is at the level of superhumans.
It would indeed be wasteful not to use this advantage to his benefit.
They entered the cave in succession.
The entrance of the cave does not lead to a vertical drop, but rather it’s a slope which stretches for about two hundred meters.
It was dark all around.
However, the Hearthstone Grand Witch lit a candle, illuminating the cavern.
Ivita kept her head down, careful not to step into any deep pits or on any rubble that might cause an accident.
They walked for a while, but there was no sign of Branton.
“Branton shouldn’t have gotten far that fast,” Ivan remarked.
Black Wolf didn’t seem surprised. “Of course, he couldn’t have. Even with a candle, we are moving slowly. It is impossible for him to disappear without any source of light.”
“In my experience, as soon as he entered, he was probably grabbed by an ogre,” Black Wolf speculated.
“The ogre must’ve led him deeper into the cave.”
Ivita said nothing in response.
Alright then.
Turns out you guessed from the start that Branton could be caught right away.
But it’s understandable. Black Wolf has probably encountered countless similar situations, so he has a feel for them.
After walking for a while longer, they heard the murmuring of a stream and a sound resembling a volcanic eruption, yet also like the low rumble of a tractor starting up.
Black Wolf quickened his pace.
Ivita and the others swiftly followed.
They discovered an underground river up ahead.
This cavern was connected to the underground river, and the source of the terrifying sound ended up being several massive creatures sleeping near the river.
The sound was merely these gigantic beasts snoring.
The behemoths appeared like small giants, with skin that was a mix of pale and blue. Their faces were like large plates, and when they opened their mouths to breathe, remnants of meat could be seen stuck between their teeth.
The strangest thing was their hands.
The final segment of their fingers looked swollen, as if stung by a wasp, making their second and third segments seem incredibly slender.

Black Wolf whispered, “Yes… they are indeed ogres.”
“Ogres are nocturnal beings. They fear light and become virtually blind in the sunlight. That is why they move through underground rivers and caverns when resettling,” He explained.
Rayli questioned, “But these creatures haven’t been seen in Viscount Ambros’ territory for many years. Why would they appear now?”
The Old Witch smirked. “It’s human arrogance.”
“Who among you still remembers that in ancient times, the Ambros Basin was a haven for magical creatures, and ogres were one of the dominant tribes here?”
“Indeed, you humans have defeated these tribes. But you never eradicated them. They merely hid when they saw human power growing stronger.”
“If the ogres have reappeared, one has to wonder what great issues have gripped Viscount Ambros’ territory, prompting these creatures hiding in the sewer pipes to feel that they can court trouble.”
Ivita frowned. He had a knack for catching the main points in people’s remarks.
This skill was already present in his previous life and had brought him significant debating prowess.
Just now, he noticed that the old witch seemed to be subtly implying that she knew what had been happening in Viscount Ambros’ territory.
Considering the old witch’s mention of the big stir her disciple had caused in Viscount Ambros’ territory, there could be a connection between the two incidents.
Just as Ivita was about to ask, he saw two ogres stripping Branton of his armor and then tying him to a large tree.
One ogre began to make a fire from the wood at Branton’s feet.
The other Ogre sprinkled some chili peppers, coriander, and garlic over Branton, muttering, “Can’t eat raw, resist, can’t eat raw, resist. Cooked meat tastes good, cooked meat doesn’t have parasites, cooked meat is delicious… Can’t eat raw, resist…”
Branton began screaming for help. “Help! Somebody save me! Your Highness, are you there?”
Ivita was speechless.
You idiot, you insisted on doing things your way, and look what happened! Without even fighting, you’ve already turned into a skewer-to-be for the ogres.
To think that you, a knight attendant, were touted as a notable fighter, yet now here we are, needing to send people to your rescue.
Ivita placed his fingers on the Greya Thunder Eye Ring and rotated it twice, chanting an incantation. In an instant, the sound of thunder filled the underground river chamber.
The intensity of this spectacle was alarmingly high!
