Chapter 34 - Fight

Once I was outside of the cave, I still walked a bit of distance away from the waterfall. When I was sure that it was far enough, I took out the remaining 3 ogre corpses from the storage space to use my Consume skill on.

You gain 600 EXP.

Ding!

You Level up!

After I have finished consuming the three ogre corpses, I was given a surprise by the system.

Ding!

Your title 'Glutton Eater' leveled up!

I was happy to see that I was finally able to level up my title. My title 'Glutton Eater' was now harder to level up compared to before. I don't know why but I think it is because of the title being too overpowered.

Afterwards, I checked my title to see the new upgrades on it.

Glutton Eater (Level 3):

Gained because you eat excessively. Gain 1500% more appetite and capacity to eat. You will still retain your body shape even after eating.

It only upgraded the percentages but I was happy even if not much have changed.

I went back to the cave when I was finished. When I arrived, I can see that Rory was practicing his fire skills and blade arts while Rai was also doing the same by sparing with Nixie.

Rai was having a hard time hitting Nixie but I can see that Nixie was also having a hard time giving Rai a devastating damage. Rai was such a good tank that when Nixie attacked and wounded him, it will only take a few minutes to heal. I watched their spar since they did not notice me watching except for Rory.

When Rory saw me, he went to side immediately leaving his training. He did not speak but stood at my side while also watching the spar between Rai and Nixie.

The match took about 30 minutes to finish. Rai won by tiring Nixie out. Rai was not even damaged and was full of health when the spar finished.

When they were done sparing, they noticed as watching and ran towards us.

"Sorry for keeping you wait master!" Rai said fearfully while bowing while Nixie only gave me a smile.

"It's ok Rai. Since you're done familiarizing your own bodies, we can now go back to the orc's cave and kill Orcred as we planned before." I said with confidence since I was sure that we can kill Orcred easily this time with our current strength.

"Who is this Orcred?" Nixie asked while Rai nodded since he was also not there when I and Rory met Orcred.

I then explained to Rai and Nixie what happened before.

"Hmm, I don't see the point with killing Orcred, Ave. Shouldn't we just run away since we won't get any benefits from him?" Nixie asked.

"The only benefit to get from him is EXP and it will also be a help to test my abilities at him." I explained to Nixie, to which she giggled when she heard my reason.

"Let's go!" I said to them when I'm done explaining things.

--------------------------------

Orcred's Point of View

I'm done killing and destroying the village, and right now I'm running away from there since I have notice a strong presence.

I can feel that someone was coming into the village. The presence that I have felt was something that I'm sure I can't face head on.

I run as fast as I could to the orc's cave so that I can ask assistance to my superiors if the strong presence I've felt follows me.

-------------------------------

Ave's Point of View

We arrived back into the orc's cave by about an hour. When we entered the cave, we saw Orcred walking back and forth as if he was nervous.

"Have you finished your mission?" I said to Orcred which startled him. He seems to be really tense. I wonder what happened.

He knelt to me and said:

"Yes sir!"

While he was saying that, I have signaled to Rory and Rai to surround Orcred. They were just waiting for my attack signal.

"Sir, I think a powerful individual is coming towards here. I have felt a strong presence earlier and I think that person is not my match!" Orcred said.

A strong individual? I don't know who it is but I'm sure that we are in a big trouble right now.

This situation made me contemplate in killing Orcred. I don't know if I should kill him to gain EXP or not to kill him to help us in fighting the strong individual.

'Kill him now, Ave! I think the person coming here will be a human, and since you and the others have already transformed into human form, they won't notice you and the others being a monster.' Akira said.

'Are you sure that they won't know I'm a monster?' I asked to be sure.

'When have I go wrong, stupid cat? Also that skill of yours is good and even if they appraised you, they will only see Human as your race.' Akira said with confidence which assured me.

I then signaled to Rory and Rai to start the attack.

Rory immediately summoned his sword to slice at Orcred while Rai used his hammer to smash Orcred.

Orcred was surprised with our attack and was hit with it but I can see that it did not killed him.

"What are you doing!?" He said angrily.

"Nothing, just die for us!" I said while laughing.

"You traitors! I'll surely kill you all. I didn't think that I will use this skill here but if I will die, I might as well bring you with me!" Orcred said while I can see that his horn was growing and wings was coming out from him. His wings was bat like wings and a black smoke was coming out from him.

Rory and Rai backed away when they saw the changes on Orcred. I can feel that he suddenly turned powerful than before.

"To think that I have to unleash my true powers in this world. I'll die because of this but I will surely bring you with me!" Orcred said while dashing towards me.

I appraised him and was shocked to what I saw.

Name: Orcred

Race: Lesser Demonic Orc

Level : 100

HP: 9000 / 9000

MP: 2000 / 2000

STR: 900

VIT: 900

DEX: 300

INT: 200

WIS: 200

What!?

How did his attributes suddenly increased!?

Was this the reason why I felt fear from him before?

I can't even see his skills too. Why is my Appraisal skill failing me?

'Akira! Why did his attributes increased?' I asked while dodging Orcred's attacks.

'He used his true form which unleashed his real strength. Orcus really has weak followers compared to others.' Akira explained while insulting Orcred's God.

'Also why can't I see his skills?' I asked while I was almost hit by Orcred's fist. Rory and Rai was helping me but they can't really damage him with their weapons, and was only thrown away by Orcred. Nixie was using Ice magic to slow down Orcred which she was successful on but Orcred's speed was still fast. I can still dodge his attacks because of my superior attributes.

'The puny orc must have a skill that obstructs the Appraisal skill' Akira said while saying 'duh' in the end.

'That's all, Akira and thank you.' I said and then using my full focus on Orcred.

Orcred was still attacking me so I counter attacked him by using my gauntlets. While I was making Orcred busy with my attacks, Rory and the others was attacking him from behind. It damaged him but was still not enough to kill Orcred.

His HP was now 8674/9000 which was high. His VIT was high making his defense hard to crack. I attacked Orcred with poison to damage him inside.

My shadow clones was also helpful in attacking him from behind. They used Ice Magic when they can while also using their claws to poison Orcred.

We continued this battle by me acting as a distraction while the others attacked him to whittle his HP down.

It took about 15 minutes to whittle his HP into half. I was also full of wounds because of my mistakes in dodging. Rai helped me when he has an opportunity to block Orcred's attack. He was also full of wounds because of it.

Orcred suddenly backed away while chanting something. I felt ominous when I saw him do that so I shouted to the others:

"Disrupt him from what he is planning!" I shouted and they immediately followed by attacking Orcred.

Orcred was attacked by the others but still continued chanting. What can I do to stop him from chanting? I then thought about a great idea while attacking him.

I used my ice magic to make a spear and thrown it towards Orcred's mouth. He choked because of it and even had a backlash because of the spell failing.

"Hahahahahahahhaha! Stupid orc!" I laughed when I saw that my plan worked. I know some of you might say that my attack was shameless but I don't care.

I checked his HP and I can see that he only has 1534/9000. Only a few more and we can kill him.

Nixie then used Ice Magic to trap him, I helped her in doing it making Orcred disabled in moving. Rory then slashed at Orcred many times using his swords and flames to attack. When Rory was finished, it was followed by Rai which was completely enveloped by blue lightning. He smashed Orcred by the use of his hammer. Cracks can be seen under Orcred because of Rai's attack.

My two shadow clones followed up by doing a combo of punches that was imbued with poison.

Orcred was shouting now from the pain. He was almost dead by now. I then jumped high and summoned an energy that was cold. I charged it with huge amount of mana, I used half of my mana to charge it up. I then attack Orcred using it. The attack looks like a beam of ice. I called this attack 'Frost Beam'.

My Frost Beam finished Orcred. He was completely frozen and turned to dust by the next second. It was a pity that I can't use my Consume skill on him since he turned into dust.

Ding!

You gain 1500 EXP.

Ding!

You Level up!

When I saw that Orcred was dead, I sat at the floor and took deep breaths. This was the longest battle that I have experienced. I looked at the others and I can see that Rai has huge amount of wounds because of the fight. Rai was slow making him unable to dodge most of Orcred's attack but thankfully he has HP Regeneration skill making him almost immortal in battles. Rai has a few wounds while Nixie was completely wound free. I went towards Rai and Rory to heal them.

"You both did a great job." I praised them both while using my Ice Heal skill on them. Nixie saw me doing it and she also helped by using Ice Heal. She can use it since she can use all of my skills as long as the skill has the same element as her.

"Thank you, Nixie." I thanked Nixie after we were done healing both Rory and Rai.

"It's ok but I should heal you too." Nixie said. I was also full of wounds because Orcred was focusing his attacks mostly on me.

"It's ok Nixie." I said to Nixie since I want to use this opportunity to level up my HP Regeneration skill.

"But-" She was about to scold me but I cut her off.

"I want to use this opportunity Nixie to level up my HP Regeneration skill." I explained to her.

Nixie nodded and sat at my shoulder. We then all rested for about an hour. I was completely healed now and my HP Regeneration leveled up by 1.

Afterwards, we felt a powerful presence going towards our direction.
