ght struggle against such a foe. Brutols, a fire elemental agitator and a seasoned warrior, had faced countless monsters in his original world, making him unafraid of the Ogre despite its size and hunger.

“Grumble! Grroark! I ate my fill today…” The Ogre, using a bone as a toothpick, seemed oblivious to the encroaching danger. Happy and carefree, it didn't notice the iron sword plunging through its back—one of the plundered weapons Brutols had acquired. As not every situation warranted the Wind Sword, a more ordinary weapon sufficed. The Ogre, stunned and in great pain, let out a howl before Brutols deftly severed its windpipe with his dagger, rendering it dead.

Cleanly wiping his dagger, Brutols slinked back into the forest. The thick foliage kept his presence hidden from other Ogres. Reflecting on the Ogre's resilience, Brutols appreciated the danger of this world, understanding why the mountain remained unexplored. Confident, he believed he could eliminate the Ogres, knowing they had a lair somewhere.

Brutols’ tracking skills soon led him to other Ogres alerted by the death cries. These Ogres laughed over their fallen comrade instead of mourning, showing their heartless nature. Disgusted, Brutols resolved to kill them all.

"Soon, no one will fight over food with you, as I will kill every last one of you," he thought coldly. These brainless monsters deserved the term "idiots," applicable even to their females, who were equally savage, cooking human corpses without remorse. Brutols, recognizing their lack of redeeming qualities beyond size, felt no fear, only resolve.

Brutols devised a plan quickly. Following the Ogres back to their cave, he located a massive boulder above the entrance and pushed it down, blocking their only exit. Trapping them inside, Brutols gathered wood and set it aflame using his fire abilities, far superior to any gasoline. The resulting inferno produced thick, choking smoke, driving the frantic Ogres into panic. They were no match for this clever and deadly assault.

The Ogres, accustomed to eating humans but clueless about survival tactics, were now reaping what they had sown.

Chapter 4: Extermination of the Ogres

The Ogres were nearly succumbing to the dense smoke, on the verge of passing out. However, their resilience was far greater than that of ordinary humans. Despite the intense smoke, they remained conscious. The massive Ogre leader, surprisingly more intelligent than the average Ogre, seemed to recognize the danger. His brain might not have been bigger than his eyeballs, but it was sharp enough to analyze the peril. He quickly ordered his Ogres to push away the boulder blocking the cave entrance to disperse the smoke. But Brutols had anticipated this and used his fire abilities to heat the boulder red-hot.
