"Are you ready? We will have to invade from the front where most orcs will be." Leislet said to Acht as they sat behind the rock.
The boy was drinking a stamina potion to regain his vitality for the upcoming fight. The long journey tired him a lot especially since he was still weaker than all of the other team members.
"I have my ways to deal with that. I may even kill more orcs than you, who knows?" He said jokingly while knowing the truth deep down in his heart.
He saw how she obliterated an army of these hideous monsters with a swing of her wand. So, killing more orcs than her will be impossible if not downright stupid.
After getting fully ready, they stood up and appeared tom behind the rock, the other team members still didn't start as they waited for Acht and Leislet to attack from the front and pull in as many orcs as they could.
"Follow me." She said as she vanished from her initial place and appeared 15 meters away in less than a second.
Acht didn't want to wait any longer and chased after her immediately. The difference in speed between them was noticeable but the settlement wasn't that far so he wasn't left behind.
When they reached the village, one of the orcs that were walking by saw them and it immediately shrieked loudly and called for the others.
Quickly, a huge army of orcs was in front of the duo. However, they both stood calmly in front of these giant creatures.
"You take one half, I will take the other." She said as she ran to the side and pulled along with her a good chunk of the orcs' army.
What was left was almost half of the initial number that kept looking at Acht with ferocious eyes.
"Let's see the fruits of my training and my level up." He smiled coldly and dashed at the army of orcs with fearless eyes.
The orcs also didn't hesitate and shrieked in union before running at him with their giant clubs and huge hammers made out of rocks.
The first thing that Acht noticed when he dashed at them was the huge increase in his speed when he used his soul force. It was so different from before that he almost stumbled and fell down because he didn't have good control of it.
As he reached the first orc, he jumped high in the sky, reaching the monster's height before grabbing onto its face.
The monster didn't wait and immediately tried to smash Acht with the club and break every bone in his body.
But, before the club could make contact with his body, Acht used his sword and sliced the orc's head like a block of cheese before bending down to avoid the club.
Then, he landed on his land along with the beheaded body of the monster that started oozing disgusting blood all over the place.
Acht couldn't even check the dead orc as two more orcs came after him. He then unhesitatingly pulled out Ooze and created three black Ooze balls.
The orcs didn't see the balls and they all tried to attack the orc at the same time. Their weapons came crashing down like a streak of meteors.
Acht snorted and jumped high in the sky before throwing the ooze balls inside their mouths with high agility.
The balls entered their bodies easily and then turned into spikes that punctured their organs and pierced their hearts.
Immediately, the orcs vomited blood and fell down dead like the one before them.
"This…is amazing!" Acht heaved up and down with excitement as he saw what he was capable of doing.
A week ago, he struggled to even fight one orc, and now, he could beat two of them at the same time with ease. This shows the huge difference between an orange soul and a white soul, it was simply incomparable.
The adrenaline rush he felt made him feel like an emperor, a king among peasants. It was such an addictive feeling that could make him go crazy. But, he didn't allow it to get into his head that much.
He soon shook his head and focused on the rest of the now furious army of orcs. They saw how the small human killed three of their kin so they couldn't hold themselves from becoming angry.
So, with a shout of madness, they charged at him…all at the same time.
This scene alone could make the bravest of people cower like a chicken.
But, the only reaction Acht had was a small smile.
"The opportunity showed itself so let's try it." He muttered as held his hand high in the sky.
Then, after waiting for a few seconds, he made a throwing gesture and threw whatever was in his hand at the orcs. The problem is…there was nothing in his hand.
The orcs saw that and didn't think much of it as they continued to rush at him head-on. Then, after a few moments, Acht did another thing.
He made the shape of a gun with his hand and pointed it at the orcs playfully.
He then smiled and muttered.
"Bang."
*BOOOOOOMMMMMM*
A loud explosion shook the area like an earthquake. It was so loud that even the other team members on the other side of the village heard it clearly. This earthquake was followed by the chilling shrieks of slaughtered monsters that took over the settlement for a good 6 seconds before it died down completely.
Leislet stopped for a moment and looked at the place where Acht was fighting and her eyes widened in surprise immediately.
Instead of seeing an army of orcs, all she saw was a sea of dead bodies and severed limbs. The previously fear-inducing monsters turned into nothing but bloody corpses that had widened eyes of fear and despair.
She couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at the small boy with deep shock.
'What…in the hells happened?!'
