*BOOOOOOOMMMMM*
The world shook as if it was hit by the strongest earthquake. A strong wind storm destroyed the whole area around it and a massive hole was created due to the impact.
The orc had used its strongest attack because of its outrage so it couldn't move that quickly to chase after Acht again. If he survived that attack, that is.
The orc took a deep breath and waited for the huge cloud of dust and debris to be carried away by the howling winds.
Then, it stood up and pulled its wooden club out of the ground. The attack was so strong that the club got stuck in the ground as if it was a nail pinning a piece of paper.
But, as it was rising up, it heard a small cracking sound. It was very faint and almost normal considering the destruction that this attack had made on the area. However, the orc felt a sense of danger for some reason.
Such a thing was weird but the orc couldn't discern where the sense of danger came from so it ignored it and started looking for Acht again.
Then, the cracking sound came back again. However, this time it was considerably higher and easier to hear compared to before.
So, it started turning around left and right searching for the sound.
The sound kept getting higher and higher and the orc was now extremely restless. However, it didn't think of moving since it thought Acht could be hiding somewhere waiting for it.
That's when…
*CRACK*
A shadow suddenly started looming over the orc from up ahead. It didn't understand what it was at first. But, when the truth dawned on it, it immediately felt blood freeze in its body.
"Ywaaah!!"
The orc lord then tried to move away as fast as possible. But, by the time it discovered the source of that cracking, it was already over.
*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*
The building finally lost all of its balance and started collapsing. Massive rocks and metal objects fell down like a torrent of rain and struck the orc directly.
It tried to resist the hits and move but it couldn't do it for long enough so that it could escape the area where the building would fall.
Then, in a very fluid motion, the whole building fell down and smashed the orc completely.
*BOOOOMMMMM*
A storm of dirt invaded the streets and a strong shockwave destroyed whatever came in front of it. The sound of the massive building collapsing reached every corner of the city and even made smaller buildings nearby collapse.
"Hah…Hah…hah…." Acht watched this happen from afar with an extremely tired look.
He had reached his limits and exceeded them with this fight. He even had to suffer multiple injuries just so that he could kill this orc.
"Fuck…My leg got struck with a rock." He cursed as he grabbed his left leg which was now puffed up like a balloon because of the hit.
In normal circumstances, it would've been laughable if a rock could actually scratch his leg let alone damage it, but because of his exhaustion and the fact that he emptied his soul force throughout the fight made his defenses weaker and easier to penetrate.
"Is it…over?" He muttered to himself as he watched the pile of rubble where he predicted the orc was buried under.
He couldn't just think that this was enough to kill that abomination.
"I have barely enough soul energy to be able to pull this off…But, I'm gonna lose my consciousness if I do it." He looked at his bloodied hand and then gripped it tightly.
But, as he was about to do it, he felt the presence of a bunch of creatures coming at him.
"Don't tell me."
The worst possible outcome he could think of happened and a horde of orcs came to where the area of destruction was.
They seemed to have some kind of connection with the orc lord since they seemed to be restless and kept looking for their leader left and right.
Quickly, they caught the presence of Acht who was standing not that far from there and they immediately grew outraged.
"Shit. This is the fucking worst." He cursed and immediately pulled out a potion– no, multiple potions– to drink.
They won't heal his heavier injuries, but it will be more than enough to relieve some of the pain he was suffering from.
'I won't be able to keep up for long. Where are the other fucking hunters?' He tried to search for any presence nearby. Just a small help could make the difference in this bloody battle and Acht needed that help more than any time.
But, unfortunately, he didn't find anyone in the range of his soul sense.
So, in other words, he was alone against whatever number of orcs was standing in front of him.
So, with a cold look, he pulled out his sword and unsheathed it slowly. Then, he wiped the blood that covered his eyes and smiled widely.
"I will fucking kill you all, you bastards!"
The usual calm and cunning look he had in his eyes was reached by pure madness. A madness that many would consider lethal. Acht had turned from a normal human being to a maniac who doesn't care whether he dies or not.
Then, with a low yell, he charged at the horde of monsters like a bullet.
He ignored the pain in his leg and the broken left arm he couldn't hold up and just concentrated his whole being on the orcs.
But, as he was about to clash with them, a voice made him regain some of his sanity.
"That's enough, Acht. I would suggest you stop if you don't want to die."
He looked to his left and saw Leislet who was holding some kind of weapon and clad in medieval armor. She didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that the orcs were looking at her too and just kept talking to Acht as calmly as possible.
"You needed my help, right?"
