Chapter 28

“Sa…Save !!”
By the ti I had found her, she had already been surrounded by 5 dark-skinned, pig faced orcs. I couldn’t prevent a stupid grin from forming on my face.
‘I’ve finally found my precious experience.’
They were too preoccupied with the woman and didn’t sense my approach.
Srrrrng
I held the steel longsword I had purchased at the store in one hand and a basic round shield in the other.
“No! No way!”
Pierced!
Kurueeek!
I stabbed my sword deeply in the back of the closest target, who was just about to rape the huntress. A pig-like squeal rang throughout the cave as ssages appeared before eyes.

The Orcs turned around to stare at , the woman had long fainted

Although they were stronger than Tomb rats, they were far from being my opponents. I ford an evil smile.
“Double Slash!”

I used my skill to finish off two more opponents in just 0.3 second, but the last two managed to escape, running away with their hands in the air wailing.
‘Do human warriors level up so quickly?’
I put away my sword and shield, before walking up towards the injured woman.
“Hey there?”
“Uh..,no… no…no.”
She seed to be spouting out gibberish while unconscious , clearly traumatized by her previous experience.
‘Well, you’ll just have to find you own way out of these caves.’
Thump! Thump! Thump!
It was the sound of several Orcs coming my way. Perhaps the two that had escaped managed to return with reinforcents.
‘Annoying..’
My conscience got the better of , so I carried her outside, stashing her in a safe place before coming back to the cave.
Thump! Thump!
The Orcs seed to be approaching from many directions. It was quite useful to have acquired knowledge of my opponents because once I had it, I could see their status approaching even before they ca into vision.
‘Hm, killing just one provides such little experience, I definitely need to aim for multi-kills.’
It was a situation where I could easily one-shot them, so my double and quad-slash skills were the best hunting thods. Unfortunately, Double Slash resulted in a 1 second stun penalty whereas for Quad Slash it was a full 2 seconds, so I definitely had to keep this in mind.
‘Two down.’
As I turned the corner I ran into a pair of them and didn’t hesitate to unleash a Double Slash. Other Orcs heard the screams and closed in on my position.
‘Let’s see, groups of two, two, three, this is fine, but five is too much!’
I was escaping from Group of 5 Orcs, It felt like a ga of hide and seek. Well, in truth It was more of a ga of true slaughter as I was eliminating anything that ca my way. Of course I was receiving a generous amount of experience, but after having killed about 40 of them I realized that the remaining 10 were staying together in a group.
‘Oh, do Orcs actually have so intelligence?’
Those parties which had mistaken orcs for pig-like animals must have suffered greatly as they were ambushed by larger numbers. At least there intelligence felt superior to that of regular Giant Termites.
‘10 Orcs… If they’re together it could be troubleso so I’ll to find so way to split them up.’
Picking up a stone from the ground, I walked towards the group of 10.
‘This should do the trick!’
I had found a place where the cave forked into 3 tunnels, and I threw my stone down one of these tunnels.
KKurr? Kkurr?
The ones leading in the front of the pack ran towards the sound of the stone hitting the ground. I decided to use Double Slash which had a shorter stun penalty, in order to be ready to deal with the Orcs which were still behind.
“Double Slash!”
Kurueeek
Without much suspense, the two of them turned into my experience points, but I had miscalculated their movent speed and their comrades were already upon . The 1 Second stun period was really too long for a life and death battle as they were just 0.7 seconds away from reaching my position. When their weapons had already reached I still had 0.3 seconds left on my stun!
Ting! Ting!
Their weapons bounced off my armor harmlessly, it appeared that they had no way of causing any harm.
‘Is it perhaps my Physical Resistance?’
Ard with the knowledge that I wasn’t all that vulnerable during my stunned state, I had no reason to hold back.
“Quad Slash!”
Of course it resulted in a longer stunned state but it didn’t matter in my case.
Ting! Ting!Ting!
More pointless attacks bounced off as I waited my turn.
“Quad Slash!”

‘Octa, does that an I can now take care of 8 of them?’
I wiped the blood off my sword and took a look at my Status page.

‘Have all those who entered the cave already died?’
Going by my Status check I could see the dead corpses of multiple adventurers, but none of those were female.
‘Could it be true that Orcs use won as sex slaves?’
I noticed the statuses of several Orcs in the distance. Of course I was going to collect the experience and cared little about saving the captured won.
‘Well, that’s quite a few of them.’
It appeared that I had stumbled upon their lair. There were a total of 20 Orcs and as expected, the 5 missing won were being savagely raped. They were taking turns with them and their cries for help were mixed in with the pig-like grunts of pleasure.
‘It looks like there are 5 young Orcs, 10 warrior Orcs, 4 Wizards and finally a Unique Status Orc.’
I was a bit distracted by the screams, but was able to calm down and analyze the situation carefully.
‘With these numbers, wasn’t it just suicide for anyone which was bronze ranked?’
I felt puzzled by the Guild’s difficulty rating, did they misdjudge the Orcs? Forget about a party Quest…hell, even if 100 Bronze ranked adventurers gathered they wouldn’t succeed.
‘There’s also that Unique monster, although I could gain generous amounts of experience and possibly new skills, he must also have powerful magic and it’ll be quite dangerous.’
I hesitated to co to a decision, If I had been in my skeletal body I would have simply charged in. But the human feeling and most notably, the fear which accompanied them was clouding my judgent, making weak. I was even beginning to feel so sympathy for the raped won.
‘This is troubleso, these emotions of mine will get in trouble soday. I have to focus on the task at hand, If I can’t even clear out these small fries, how could I ever get my revenge on the League?’
I steeled my heart and told myself to ignore the sounds of the won being raped.
‘Yes, to beco a Chosen I’ll need at least this much resolution!’
I ssaged the Unique Shaman Orc nad Brahin Telepathically.
‘I’m going to kill you.’
He had a stupid grin on his face while watching his group engage in rape, but he imdiately turned serious and started looking around when he heard my ssage.
‘Here, I am over here.’
I tried to spread panic amongst them as they wouldn’t be able to pinpoint my location with my use of Telepathy. My strategy was to force him to send out scouting parties which I could easily pick off one by one, but the Boss was smarter than I expected.
Kurr Kurr
Brahin gestured at the young orcs who were not participating in the rape to pick up a shield and get in formation.
‘Oh, not as stupid as I thought, this won’t be so easy’
There were four Orc Wizard’s each with their own elental affinity, but the most troubleso was the Boss who was a Shaman. With such advanced recovery magic, unless I was able to oneshot them, it could turn into a long and protracted battle. Not to ntion that the Orcs currently busy with their sex slaves were slightly higher leveled and I wasn’t confident I could finish them off with just a single slash of my longsword.
‘Well, it’s now or never.’
I stepped out of the darkness and into the light of their burning torches, allowing them to catch sight of .
Kuur!
The Orc Shaman was the first to spot and imdiately got the others to leave the won alone and focus on .
“Co one guys I’ll show you a real fire show!”
I hadn’t beco angry due to the despicable actions of the Orcs, but rather at my inability to fully control my emotions and the sense of inferiority it entailed.
Swoosh
I threw my sword out, piercing the chest of a young orc. Dropping the shield I held in my left hand I drew my two-handed Excalibur.
“Ha! You guys don’t even stand a chance!”
Tatac!
“Octa Slash!”
I didn’t hesitate to use my new skill on the approaching monsters. Be it flesh, bone, armor or shield, my Excalibur cut right through it like a hot knife through butter.
Kukquerr Kurr
The Shaman tried to cast restoration, but it was too late and they were already corpses. The wizards were stunned by the horror scene before them and were late to begin casting. When my 2 seconds of being stunned wore off, I rushed towards them, not giving them the chance to finish chanting.
‘Kuur Krru Kuuue’
The sounds of pig snorts, axes banging and magic chanting rang throughout the cave. anwhile, the female adventurers that could still move took the chance to escaped to the sides.
“Octaslash!”
Ting! Ting! Boong!
[Physical Resistance level 1 ? 2]
[Magic Resistance level 1 ? 2]
My Octaslash easily cut down 8 more Orcs, whereas their weapons and feeble magic bounced of harmlessly.
The last Orcs remaining were just 2 cowardly warriors, one Wizard and the Shaman Boss. The warriors were trembling in fear and had picked up a woman to use a human shield.
‘Hmm… her body is not bad.’
The reason I was entertaining such pointless thoughts was that I was in a stunned state and had little else to do. Unfortunately, this ti around they had taken notice of my my weakness and were ready to capitalize on it.
‘Damn, two seconds is way too long!’
As the two warriors approached holding a female hostage, the Wizard was busy enchanting one of the warrior’s axe. The bigger problem however, was the Shaman which was busy with a long incantation which resulted in vicious looking black clouds gathering above him.
‘Hm, one enchanted axe and a Shaman’s dark spell… either of them could spell my doom.’
Even with my level 2 magic and physical resistance, I wasn’t confident I had the HP to survive those attacks.
Kukurrrr
Shoooka shooook
Just as I was released from my stunned state, the Shaman had finished chanting and the spell was headed my way. Likewise, the enchanted axe was bearing down on , intending to split my skull in two.
‘Shit! Why am I always gambling with my life like this?’
