The Ultimate Glitch ~One Man Conquers a Dungeon That Humanity Couldn’t Conquer for Hundreds of Years, in Only Two Hours~ - Chapter 30
The Ordos
Chapter 30
The man in front of them wore a bright blue armor and had a large sword in his right hand. He was encircled by Brest’s men on all sides. A magician who was waiting behind rose his staff and fire came out of it.
Brest observed his opponent closely. Despite his large physic and full body armor, his speed was astonishing. He dodged the flames easily and swung his sword. As he did, the knights and horses were thrown back into the air. Brest was at loss for words – the strength of this man wasn’t natural. It was stronger than the royal army, Orus, which was said to be the strongest army in Morgalea.
Brest couldn’t see the man’s face but he assumed he was a famous swordsman.
The blue knight rushed to the magician. “Oh no, protect the Mage Corp!,” Brest ordered.
The royal guards pursued the blue knight but couldn’t catch up. The moment he swung his sword, Brest was sure everyone would die – but they didn’t. They all screamed and collapsed to the ground.
How can this be so easy for him?, wondered Brest. Twenty guards had been reduced to eight in a matter of minutes.

“Brest, what are you doing?” Alan gritted his teeth as he watched. He lost his patience as more guards were defeated. “Hey, what are you looking at?,” he shouted at
the adventurers, “what do you think I’m paying you for? Go and help them!”
The adventurers exchanged a looked. A lot of them didn’t think they’d fight on this mission so they just decided to stand there and wait.
“Gustav,” started Karl, “what do you want to do? He looks really strong.”
“He sure does. But we’re being paid to obey, so we don’t really have a choice, do
we.”
Gustav pulled out his sword and walked toward the blue knight. His sword was
large and black – it was the origin of the name of his party.
Karl and Daya followed with two other men. Since Black Sword had decided to step forward, the other adventurers waited to see what would happen.
In the meantime, three knights were defeated and the others had started to flee. “Hey, big guy! We’ll be your opponents!,” Karl yelled. Gustav and his men
surrounded the knight. “Let’s attack at the same time!”
“Yes, you and Daya stop his sword and I’ll slash through his armor!”
The three moved at the same time. Gustav jumped in front of the blue knight, who in turn swung his sword at Gustav. He barely dodged the blow and managed to hit his opponent – without any luck. The armor was intact.
They started to fight one-on-one, the sound of their sword echoing. The knight staggered a bit s Gustav pushed him with all his might and tried to attack Gustav but Daya and Karl stopped him.
“Damn,” said Karl, “that’s a heavy sword!” “Now, Gustav!,” yelled Daya.
Gustav slid his sword through the joints of the knight’s armor. Gustav sighed in relief, his blade should’ve hit the man directly. But his relief was short-lived as he saw the knight block his blade with his left hand, looking at him as if nothing had happened.
The blue knight drew his sword again and slammed Gustav to the ground. Daya and Karl lost their balance and joined him. He then slashed them with his sword, leaving them groaning in pain until they passed out.
Marco and Daitos watched the scene with a pale face and their swords trembling. “You bastard!” Alan was frustrated and disappointed by Black Sword. “You guys!
Defeat him! I’ll reward those who beat him!”
At the words, the adventurers rushed to the lone knight with Alan following them slowly on his horse.
After everyone had passed through the gates, they closed with a heavy thud. Alan and the adventurers were now stuck inside. All of a sudden, archers were on top of the walls, aiming their bows at them. The adventurers had been caught in a trap. They knew the enemy had the advantage and dropped their weapons to the ground. They were loyal to their client, but they knew this was a lost cause.
“What are you guys doing?,” yelled Alan, “you have to fight!” “No, sir, we need to stop now,” said Brest. “We have lost.”
At those words, Alan’s face turned red with anger and embarrassment. Alan and the adventurers and no choice but to be taken into the castle.

Together with Fyne, Reid prepared a place to live for the Ordo. Orchid also got repaired and helped.
“I’m glad you’re back, Orchid.” Reid was surprised at how quickly she had been repaired in Zagreus’ Coffin. Once again, he was amazed by the dungeon’s treasures.
“Are you okay, Reid?,” asked Fyne, “I heard Orchid was badly injured…” “Orchid is really strong. Are you okay now?”
“I am. No problem,” answered Orchid.
Reid was relieved to see Orchid’s usual emotionless face, when a report came from Baltazar.
“What’s wrong, Baltazar?,” he asked as he took the metallic ball out of his pocket. “I’d like to report that we have dealt with Morgalea’s army.”
“Right. Did they go home?”
“No. Because they showed a belligerent attitude, we made them our prisoners.” “What?!” Reid couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “What did you just say?” “We made them our prisoners. No one died in battle.”
Reid turned pale.
