The woman looked surprised at Isaac's answer. Then, she struggled, asking to be put down.
"Raargh!"
After all, the two of them were still in the middle of a battle. The two Mutant Orcs before them went berserk and attacked anyone and anything that stood in the way.
Bam! Bam!
Isaac jumped to dodge the attack just in time. Only then did he put Wang Mei down. The woman looked at Isaac with an annoyed and surprised face. There were many questions in her head, but she realized now wasn't the time to talk.
Dozens of monsters surrounded the two of them. Surprisingly, the monsters didn't attack as aggressively as before. They just observed Isaac and Wang Mei from a distance. They looked alert, as if they were fighting a ferocious predator.
Their instincts weren't wrong, because Isaac had already removed the Mortal Ring from his finger.
'This is outside the Dungeon. I don't think Baron Gustav can detect my presence.'
This situation was unplanned.
The original plan for this mission was simple. Isaac would disguise himself as a human and join in on trivial jobs. Then, he would impress the Nine Sky members throughout the mission in order to get a recommendation.
Issac also knew that the Dungeon he was going to visit belonged to Baron Gustav—because it was the only dungeon in Beijing. Thus, he used a Mortal Ring that could suppress the demon's aura so that Baron Gustav wouldn't know when he entered the Dungeon.
However, everything changed completely because Baron Gustav released monsters outside the Dungeon for farming.
That way, Isaac wouldn't have to risk himself entering the enemy's territory. Instead, he could meet the guildmaster he was after.
'It is my lucky day. Looks like when I get back, I'll have to call Baron Gustav to say thank you.'
Isaac smiled mischievously. In his head, he imagined what the confused Baron Gustav looked like.
"Hey! We're still in the middle of a battle."
Wang Mei snapped Isaac from his reverie.
"Oh, yes." Isaac turned to Wang Mei with his lips still curled up. Then, he looked at the monster.
<Information>
[Name : Ruku & Karuku]
[Race : Orc]
[Type : Monster Boss]
[Class : C]
[Level : 30]
Wang Mei sighed while looking at Isaac, who kept grinning annoyingly. She thought something was wrong with this man. Not to mention he didn't seem to carry a weapon at all.
"Hey, it is not a time to daydream. Take out your weapon. I will fight the Mutant Orc who carry an axe, while you fight those who carry a club."
Even though Isaac looked weird in her eyes, for some reason Wang Mei felt the man was strong enough to defeat the monster.
"Okay. Lend me one of your blades, the one in your left hand."
"Huh?"
Wang Mei sighed. She was sure that Isaac was really crazy. This was the first time she met a Hunter who borrowed a weapon from others. She shook her head, then she immediately handed over one of her weapons.
Isaac received the blade.
<Anima Blade>
[Class : F]
[Type : Artificial Artefact (Blade)]
[A single-edged sword that uses magic damage power. Magic damage bonus of 8% of the Magic stat. (Has a pair of Corpus Blade)]
One of the perks of being a Noble, he had a system that could check item descriptions.
As soon as Isaac held it, the blade's edge gleamed with blue light.
Wang Mei watched with an amazed face. One month after she bought the blades for 15 million RMB, she still couldn't find the hidden potential of the weapon. However, the stranger she had just met could find it easily.
Isaac swung the blade a few times.
'Let's see how strong a man-made Artefact is.'
Then, Isaac shot off at high speed, grabbing the Mutant Orc who was holding a club.
"ARRRRRGGH!"
Slash! Splat—!
Before the Mutant Orc had time to react, its wrist nearly cut off. Instantly, the giant monster screamed in pain. Blood gushed like a waterfall. Meanwhile, the other Mutant Orc looked panicked.
"What the…"
Wang Mei, who was watching the grotesque scene, didn't blink. She was amazed because she had repeatedly slashed the monster's skin, but it only left shallow scratches. Besides, she couldn't follow Isaac's movements with her eyes as the man shot toward the orc.
Isaac looked the other way around. He seemed to observe his temporary weapon.
'I should have cut off its hand right away. This blade really is useless.'
If Isaac used Malice & Verdict, he could defeat the two monsters easily. However, he thought it wasn't interesting to just kill the monster off.
Isaac's attention then returned to the battle. He saw that Wang Mei was staring at him .
"Hey, don't daydream!" Isaac exclaimed.
Wang Mei immediately snapped her from her reverie. At the same time, a huge axe was several metres above her head.
Swooosh!
The huge axe swung, and Wang Mei managed to dodge it in time.
"Lucky, the man warned me. Otherwise, my body might split in two."
After she landed, dozens of monsters consisting of orcs and kobolds attacked her from various angles.
"Rawwrgh!"
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Splat! Splat! Splat!
Instantly, those little monsters died into chunks of flesh. Then, Wang Mei shot back towards the axe-wielding Mutant Orc.
"Raaa—"
The ugly boss monster was about to roar, but Wang Mei immediately slashed the corner of its lip. The monster's mouth ripped and blood rushed like a waterfall.
Instantly, the Mutant Orc went berserk. Its bloodshot eyes glared at Wang Mei. Then, it swung the axe again.
Swooosh! Swooosh!
Wang Mei jumped back and forth, dodging the deadly slash. However, when she landed on the ground, her ankle was sprained.
"Goddamnit!?"
Slash! Splat—!
"Raaawrg!"
The Mutant Orc that was aiming for the woman's life screamed furiously. The monster's hand was cut off before it could attack her. Of course it wasn't Wang Mei's doing.
"Huh? You? I told you, I'll take care of this monster. You take care of the other one."
Isaac stood beside Wang Mei. "It's done."
Wang Mei frowned. She didn't understand Isaac's words. Soon her eyes opened wide.
"Impossible."
She watched the twin of the Mutant Orcs die in a decapitated state. She had a hard time dealing with that Alpha, even with the help of the two Guilds at once.
However, the mysterious man she just met killed the Alpha in just a couple of minutes.
"Let me face that one. You face the minions there," Isaac said.
"Eh? Wai—?"
Before Wang Mei could finish her sentence, Isaac had gone. The horde of monsters charged at Wang Mei again. While finishing them off, she saw Isaac's battle against the final Alpha.
The axe slashed through the empty air dozens of times. While the target moved freely as if nothing happened. Feeling irritated at being toyed with, the Mutant Orc went berserk and its attacks grew fiercer and brutal.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The axe hit the ground repeatedly, shaking the earth. If Wang Mei looked closely, Isaac was like a bee flying in a human's face.
Of course, the monster was getting angrier.
"RAAAAWRRRRG!"
The Mutant Orc roared, its sharp voice piercing the ears again.
"Aaaaah!"
Wang Mei screamed while covering her ears. Her body staggered because of the roar, and at the same time, a group of monsters rushed at her.
"No…."
The woman immediately took a defensive position.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The roaring stopped, replaced by a slashing sound.
Wang Mei was stunned.
A black shadow moved swiftly, leaving a glowing blue line on the Mutant Orc's body. Then, the shadow shot towards the thousands of monsters around her, leaving a similar blue line.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Wang Mei felt a gust of wind and suddenly a man in a black suit stood right in front of her.
At that moment, she knew it was over.
"Who are you really?" Wang Mei asked curiously.
"I told you. Isaac Constantine."
SPLAAT—!
Instantly, the Mutant Orc was chopped into chunks of meat, so did the thousands of monsters around it. The battlefield turned into a pool of blood.
Clang!
At the same time, the blade in Isaac's hand broke into three pieces. Meanwhile, the owner of the blade didn't seem bothered at all to see her weapon was broken.
Isaac then reached out to Wang Mei.
"Are you okay?" Isaac asked.
Wang Mei didn't answer. Her eyes stared at Isaac warily. She then accepted his outstretched hand.
"Good." Isaac helped her to her feet. His lips couldn't stop smiling because soon he would have a new toy.
However, Isaac's plan didn't go well.
Swing!
Suddenly, a sharp blade almost cut Isaac's neck. Thanks to his high reflexe, he managed to dodge the attack right away.
"Who are you really?" Wang Mei said sharply as she pointed the blade at Isaac.
