Leislet kept looking at Acht for a few moments like a statue, not daring to move. The only thing that woke her up from her frozen state was the loud shriek of the orcs. She then remembered her purpose out of this expedition and immediately went back to fighting while keeping in mind to ask Acht about what he did.
The boy, who was oblivious to her thoughts gazed at the aftereffect of his new trump card and rejoiced in his heart. This was the first time he tried this move and it was a massive success. He just killed 70% of the orcs with a single attack which would've been impossible for him a week ago.
"Gravity Bullets are just cheating. But, it also took me the whole week to be able to get the hang of them. I still need to practice a lot to be able to use it freely though." He muttered to himself.
This move was something he saw the shadow figure do in his head. It was very amazing to see in action so he decided to focus on it the most since it was also way easier than the other moves he saw.
The way it's executed is somehow simple to do yet also complicated to master. Looking back at how he did it. He raised his hand in the air and channeled his soul force to his hand. Then, he made the pressure in his hand accumulate in the shape of a ball. This technique was something he unlocked when he reached the orange soul.
After doing that, he kept accumulating the gravitational pressure until he felt his hand was unable to hold the wait much longer. Then, with a swinging motion, he threw it at the orcs.
The ball of gravitational power was so strong that it could turn anything it touches into dust and even shred the sturdiest of skins like they were pieces of paper so one could imagine.
But, that by no means is something that will make him omnipotent. First of all, this technique was a one-time-use thing since it basically needed 90% of his energy for one use.
Second of all, it had a long casting time. Were it not for the fact that the orcs were still far away, he wouldn't have been able to use it.
Lastly, this technique was directly linked to his mastery over gravity and also to his level as an awakener so it could only kill things that are below him in level.
So, in a nutshell, it was a lethal move but it also needed conditions to use and to execute properly.
But, luckily, he had an opportunity to use it now and he was glad it worked.
Acht's eyes then looked at the rest of the orcs who survived the attack somehow. They were now clearly terrified of the boy who was able to kill all of them in a moment.
They were also looking back at the settlement and trying to back away.
"Oh no, you don't." He said and ran after them.
If they go back to their village, they could gang up on the other team members and could endanger them greatly. Everyone needed to do their part of the mission successfully after all.
The few orcs left reached the inside of the village and Acht soon followed them inside. He was able to close the distance between them easily.
"Ywaaaaaaah!!!"
The last orc which was way fatter than his friends shouted in fright and tried to hit Acht frantically.
The latter didn't see that as anything but a futile resistance and immediately grabbed his leg.
The creature shrieked like a slaughtered pig and stomped down on Acht to squash him. But, before his leg could land on the boy, he pulled the orc's other leg and made him fall.
Pulling what is potentially 7 tons of pure flesh and skin was something that Acht can't do without the assistance of his gravity manipulation gift. The most he could lift up is 400 kilograms after all.
The orc fell down and hit its head on the ground. Acht then jumped on top of it and pierced its throat and immediately ran after the others.
What ensued after that was a huge slaughter of orcs that didn't stop until the last one breathed its last breath and died.
Acht then released a long breath that he kept inside his lungs and wiped the huge amount of blood that splashed on his face. Even though he was young and very cute, he now looked akin to a demon of destruction rather than a small child.
He then looked back at the trail of corpses he left behind. They weren't as badly disfigured as the first batch but they were still killed in the worst way possible.
"I think this is the last one of the-"
*Crick*
Suddenly, he heard a small sound near one of the houses where he was standing.
He looked at the place with his sword ready for any potential attack, thinking that it was an orc that ran away.
But, there was nothing there. He decided to go there and look around the area since that sound wasn't something that he could ignore.
When he approached the small, primal house, he looked under the house and found something interesting.
There was a hole in the ground the size of two grown men that didn't seem to have an end from how deep and dark it was.
He didn't know what to think of this as it could be something the orcs made to hide their things. So, he stood up again and decided to leave the place.
But, as he stepped away, he heard the sound again, now even more clear. He looked back with wary eyes and walked back to the hole.
"This is weird." He muttered.
It could be something related to the dungeon boss or even related to the reason why this dungeon changed its size suddenly. A hole that was full of mysteries.
