Chapter 25: Level 20!!!

Series of notifications started ringing one by one as soon as I reached level 20. I didn't get to study them completely and understand what was going on as the remaining commanders also noticed my transformation. Luckily, I wasn't going through some physical change or it would be really bad. The transformation just changed my base stats and the mechanism. It lasted only for 5 seconds and finished. I didn't know what it meant by mechanism not that I had the luxury to care. I again used the new 8 points on Endurance instantly and looked at the army lunging at me.
…
…
When I levelled up, the three commanders were together. They noticed that halo again but this time they felt that it wasn't like before. It felt different to them and they started to feel instinctive danger from the transformation. The monsters were given a special ability so that they could instinctively notice that I was growing stronger every second. They were shocked and looked at each other and noticed the same astonishment in the latter's eyes. They didn't dare to underestimate me again. They decided to use their all now and instantly ordered its army to raze me down before I finished my transformation.
They didn't believe that however strong I got, I could finish them. They didn't know that I already had attributes high enough to rival a level 30 mutant king when I was level 17. If they knew, they wouldn't underestimate me and let me reach level 20 so easily.
…
…
I also noticed the army closing in on me when I was increasing my endurance. I also didn't know how strong I was right now. I believed that I could fare far better now that my base stat had undergone massive transformation. My movement speed and attack speed alone had increased more than twice. Not to talk about my attack power. I was in a different level from before. I couldn't wait to see my base damage. I equipped
-2,100
-4,200
-2,100
Damages in the range of 2ks appeared above its head. I was ecstatic to see the qualitative change in the damage. Only now I believed that my high attributes were getting justice. I attacked it again with two slashes and finished it off.
-1,050
-1,050
After seeing my normal technique causing 1k damage, I grew more confident. But I still knew that 2k was a huge number. I couldn't defeat them all one by one. I thought of killing their commanders at first and see what would happen then. It would be best if they could retreat, I thought. I cleaved around the battlefield and slowly approached the nearest commanders. The remaining 3 commanders were far from each other. It was like they all were at the different ends of the world. When I neared the commander, I used my strongest skill
-2,625 damage appeared above its head. I followed up with
-1,050
-2,100
-1,050
-2,625
…
…
Even though the number was overwhelming, I could keep up with them all with my superior movement speed, attack speed,
I then rushed towards the 2nd commander when I heard a sound. It was the warning sound by the system. The system read the warning in my head as I didn't have the time to read the notice. Even though I was far faster and had higher combat standards, the attacks from 2,000 orcs weren't easy. Fortunately, they were orcs and lacked long ranged skills. Or I might not be able to last this longer even with my advantages.
Beep.
Beep.
I only then noticed that even though I reached level 20, my situation was still as grim as ever. My hope was on the commanders. I believed that defeating the commanders would disrupt the entire orcs army and they would retreat. I needed to believe that. I didn't know any other method that could help me in this situation. It was like my last straw.
I increased my momentum and lunged at the 4th commander. I attacked it with both swords simultaneously. I ignored my defense completely and pummeled it hard with continuous attacks.it was my all-out attack with my speed to the limit. I was so fast that I didn't even need to dodge the most of the attacks. I started with triple cut, followed by fireball, area of effect, slashes, chops and finally finished off it with triple cut.
-1,050
-2,100
-1,050
-1,100
-1,050

Its HP decreased at a very fast rate and its body dropped lifeless on the ground. When I finished off the 4th commander, my HP had decreased from 6,530 to 4,000. I still had a lot HP. During this whole fight, my aura and I, myself, had undergone massive transformation. Even though I was in the middle of the enemy's army, my fighting spirit was as lively as it could be. Even though I had only 30 minutes, my optimistic personality was making me see the light of this seemingly endless tunnel. I believed that I would see the end. I then roared and charged towards the 5th commander.
The remaining 5th commander was having a hard time controlling the remaining orcs. It had to control only 500 before but now it had to take care of 2,000 orcs. It cursed the 18th generations of the other commanders for leaving it alone with all the mess. It knew that even though it won the fight in the end, it would still lose its life when it returned.
They had lost 4 commanders in this war for such a backward planet. This planet was so backward it wasn't even assigned a protector. It was only given a technology which helped them to hide underground and wait for the system army to come and save them. The 5th commander then received a message and only then noticed how much the situation had worsened.

The situation couldn't be any worse for it. It knew that it would lose its life for sure in the end no matter what. They were assigned more than enough army to capture the civilians. But they failed to do so and even lost 5 6 hours. The system army were already aware of the situation and had already sent its troops for their rescue. The situation was really grim for the 5th commander. It had to face all the judgements alone as only it was left alive. And it was all because of a single human in front of him. And it was even rushing towards him. The 5th commander was beyond furious. It had lost its reasoning when it received the message and finally lost its mind when it saw Shiva rushing towards it. It then took out a strange book and chanted something. To me it sounded like some magical spells from Harry Potter. I didn't know what it was doing. But I knew that it was its final struggle. I wanted to stop the spell but before I could even reach it, the spell was already casted and completed.
Whoosh
Whoosh
A terrifying pulling force gushed out of the 5th commander's body next moment and it pulled everything toward it. I backed down instantly when I noticed the danger. I used my speed to the limits and only then barely able to increase the distance. Even at my full speed, I felt like I was walking due to that strange force. The force continued to pull. When I was out of the force's range, I looked back and noticed the gruesome scene. The 5th commander wasn't pulling random things. It was sucking all the orcs and absorbing their vitality and essence. It was really its last struggle. I didn't know how strong it would be after absorbing all the orcs. I wanted to stop it but didn't know how.
I then brought out AK-47 out and aimed it at its forehead. I then fired all the bullets right at its forehead. But then I noticed that none of them hit it. Instead, they were pulled into its mouth by the strange pulling force. I then gave up on stopping it. It would absorb them and then I had to fight it one on one. it was better for me I thought. when it was absorbing the orcs, I sat down to take rest.
It took about 30 minutes to absorb them all and only then the sucking/ pulling force vanished. The 5th commander then shined with black light carrying deadly aura and pungent smell; and its body transformed into a huge orc of size 10 meters tall. It was really gigantic and it looked terrifyingly ugly and scary.
