Chapter 96 part2
The flow of the battle reversed in a heartbeat as soon as the band of Orcs jumped into the fray.
Kwaaahang!!
The shock wave spreading out in the air easily blew away thousands of tentacles blanketing the sky like a dissipating fog.
And that lull in the constant attacks of tentacles naturally gave the Knights much needed breathing room; now that their own pace had been regained, they were in the position to go on the offensive.
*SFX for tentacles rushing forward*
However, the number of tentacles shooting out from the Monster bird seed to know no end.
Still, the assault from these elite Orcs were no laughing matter, either.
Whenever they swung their destructive maces, tens of hundreds of tentacles turned to dust. These Orcs didn’t rely or care for style or technique, just focusing on brutal strength only.
—-!!
The Orc that was the most heroic and magnificent roared out aloud and kicked the ground hard, jumping into the air.
His leg strength allowed him to jump up several tens of tres with absolute ease, and he went straight towards the Monster’s cockscomb...
*SFX for tentacles shooting sothing out*
Instinctively sensing the approaching danger, the tentacles mounted on the Monster bird’s body began spewing poison towards the Orc while making a strange noise. But the Orc didn’t give a damn and simply activated the Leviathan’s scales to the absolute maximum.
Although the Monster fired off the poison confidently, it had no effect on the scales, other than washing off the dirt and making them look more shiny than before.
’It’s not enough.’
But, unless Sae-Jin was in the Lycanthrope Form, it seed that this was the limit of what the Orc’s leg strength could do; he was actually aiming for the creature’s weakness, its comb, but he could only reach the edges of its wattle on the neck.
Since there was little he could now, he used the Skill ’Fierce Strike’ on the wattle, instead.
Tthaaahang!!
The clear and vivid roar resounded at the sa ti as the attack connected. The Monster bird writhed in pain after its vocal cord was attacked, but it couldn’t cry out that destructive crow anymore. Now the things had co to this, the plan B was proving to be better than he initially thought.
*SFX for tentacles attacking*
However, the tentacles were not suffering from the sa pain as the Monster bird itself, as they were separate entities to begin with. Since its host’s life was in danger, all the tentacles seed to lose any reasoning whatsoever and focused solely on one target, rushing towards the Orc that had attacked the Monster bird.
And well, that was the biggest mistake this Monster could ever make in its life.
"Everyone!!"
Pressed for ti, Kim Yu-Rin shouted out one word as she dashed towards the Monster bird. Other Knights shared the sa thought as her and every one of the 10 Knights present jumped towards the Monster.
But in all honesty, there was no need for all ten of them. It was enough with Kim Yu-Rin there. She squeezed out every ounce of Mana from her body and activated the Trait ’Desideratum’, imbuing the sword with the strongest purpose she could load the weapon with - "faint, never to wake up".
"...."
The mont Yu-Rin’s sword struck the Monster, its body began to falter to the side slowly.
"Heu-euck..."
Even Yu-Rin herself faltered and squatted down as well. As she didn’t have enough Mana, her Trait would remain activated for ten seconds at most, but that ten was more than enough.
After all, it didn’t matter if those tentacles still thrashed about, as the Monster bird lying on its side unmoving was no better than a chicken waiting to be slaughtered in the end.
On top of this massive fallen chicken, the group of Orcs and Knights descended.
And so, that was how Kim Sae-Jin was able to read yet another feel-good alert window.
>
The actual reason why he brought along these elite Orcs to this place was quite simple. He thought that, judging from the clues he had seen until now, he might evolve into the Orc Chieftain if he led other Orcs in a group hunt.
And his expectation was right on the money.
[Condition complete: the group hunt. (3/3)] [The Monster Form ’Orc Great Warrior’ will evolve into ’Orc Chieftain’.] [All Stats will rise drastically, and the body hair will grow accordingly.]
’...Hair?!’
What hair? Does my hair represent the Skill Level or sothing?
Initially, he felt sowhat disappointed by this. But well, when he checked his Status Window, his jaw hit the floor. With the exception of Mana Affinity and Magic Strength, every other Stat saw an explosive increase of over 100 points each.
Plus, the amount of ti he could suppress the instincts of the Lycanthrope, the ti he could spend as the human Kim Sae-Jin, had increased to over 18.5 hours... So, yes, in that mont, he couldn’t be more happier even if he tried.
*
The end of the battle finally ca with the Orc Chieftain ripping off the Monster bird’s cockscomb; the only thing that filled this vast open space was deathly quiet stillness. Ten Knights tried to control their heavy breathing, all the while staring at the group of Orcs.
"..."
As expected, the first one to move among them was Kim Yu-Rin. She carefully moved her feet towards the Orc Chieftain.
As the desolate wind blew across the land and tickled past the ankles, Yu-Rin carefully gathered both her arms in front of her chest while looking up at the Orc. That faint smile on her lips seed to represent her current state of emotions.
"...You did co. But you said you wouldn’t."
She shyly opened her mouth. The Orc slightly turned his head to look down on her.
The thing was, her face was caked with sweat as well as with dried and unidentifiable black blood - which pretty much made her look not so good at the mont. On top of this, his sensitive nose was picking up so atrocious odour drifting out of her that reminded him of clogged up sewers.
"...Ah, I’m..."
However, while totally unaware of her current appearance, she beca more and more abashed at the Orc’s pointed stares, and began twisting her body this way and that.
"...."
The Orc let out a hollow chuckle and turned around to leave. Since he beca the Chieftain, he got what he ca here for. No need to endure the sll of sewers if he could help it.
"Wait, Mister Orc!!"
Kim Yu-Rin was about to chase after the back of the cold and indifferent Orc, but then, soone appeared out of nowhere and grasped her arm, stopping her.
