Blood Orge

We reported to Aunt quickly and got equipped with relevant weapons and armour. There are a total of nine to enter the forest to find the hunters including me and Delvi then the seven elites.

We left the village as quickly as possible because with every minute we waste the risk of the hunters getting injured or dying increased.

All the warriors took the lead while magic casters took the vanguard. There were a lot of dead bodies of monsters in different ranks. I stored some mid-ranked monster bodies in my storage for future use. We didn't make big noises because it will attract the attention of many monsters after we entered the mid-zone of the forest. It took us three hours to find a clue from the hunters because the forest was damaged considerably by something.

"Ahhh... Monster! Someone, please help us" we heard a loud cry from the northwest of the forest we quickly went in that direction.

"Damn monster, I will kill you " two people were lying on the floor while the other three were fighting with a monster with a huge body with horns on its head. It had a grey colour body which was damaged by the attacks of the hunters.

"Delvi, lead them and help them to attack you guys can defeat that monster it is B-ranked monster blood orges be careful of its rage ability, I will help the two who are injured while you guys fight" I suggested to her and we quickly got onto the formation ready to attack the monster.

While the went toward the monster I went toward the injured people to check their condition.

"Hunters, come back you guys are injured they will deal with the monsters we are from the Zion village to help you," they came running in my direction.

"Ohh... You are the boy that I have heard about from the others," one of the hunters pointed her finger at me.

"Big sister, what happened to these two?"

"Boy, can you help them? One of them got hit directly by the first of the ogre and the other one got some injuries while protecting me" another hunter said.

"I'll try to do something don't worry they will be ok," I said so but the condition of these two is not good. I tore some old clothes and applied some herbs which I got from the forest which are good for injuries and tired them on their injuries, both of their faces were pale so I chanted a simple water spell for them to drink. Even though I couldn't master my elements yet I learnt two spells and some basic magics for day-to-day life.

After drinking some water their pale faces got some colour showing that they were getting better. After treating them I wanted the see the condition of the fight with the ogre so I went to take a peek.

I was surprised except few all the others were doing great showing great teamwork and performance. Sister Delvi was supporting them from the sideline and the monster was on the verge of death.

Remi dashed toward the monster with her sword aiming toward its head. Any type of monster has its weak points in its body and monsters like blood orges most of the time it is their neck.

"Hahh...Die you monster!" Remi's sword touched its neck but she couldn't cut it completely it gave a dangerous wound to the monster.

"Good work Remi, everyone time your attack and chant an attack spell that monster is greatly weakened now if we attack now it won't be able to survive" Delvi advised the group from the sideline.

They chanted (Firballs) and (Wind cutter) in the direction of the monster. It was greatly weakened by all injuries it got from the hunters plus the group. It couldn't defend against all the spells at the same time.

"Did we get that monster?" One of the elites shouted.

After a few minutes, the mist cleared and the dead body of the blood orge was visible. All of us were relieved to see it dead. In my current power, it won't be even a challenge for me to defeat a blood orge but I promised Remi and others that I will let them do this job unless it gets extremely dangerous. Remi was hugging Delvi because she was happy that she was the one who dealt the most fatal blow to the blood orge.

I turned my attention toward the hunter group and they were also relieved to see the monster which caused so many problems for them lying dead on the floor. Even though the fight is over the condition of the two injured was not so promising. Even though I applied some herbs it was far from real medicine.

"Everyone our mission is complete let's go back to the village the condition of the injured is not good and collect the important part of the blood orge it will be a good memory for your team" We quickly collected the monster parts and the three hunters had to give a piggyback to the two injured persons.

"Delvi, is everything alright? Want me to give you a piggyback ride too" I chuckled at the blushing girl.

"Veli, don't tease me you know I'm not injured"

"By the way sister, your leadership skill while fighting the monster was amazing. I'm really proud of you" There was no exaggeration she was like a veteran commander while giving orders to the elite group.

"Thank you, Veli I will become a good sister to you this time," She said with a tiny smile.

We were heading toward the village keeping our formation in order but suddenly we heard the ear-deafening growl of a monster which sent a shiver down my spine.

"What is that sound? It was scary" one of the elite said.

"You guys head to the village it might be something dangerous, I will join you guys after finding the owner of that sound it can be a threat to the village" I wanted to find the owner of that loud noise because it might be a high-rank monster which can later be a threat to our village. If it is something dangerous I would have to kill it before it causes chaos.

"Veli, isn't that dangerous? That monster can't be a mid-ranked one" Delvi wanted to stop me from going.

"Don't worry sister, I won't fight if it's someone I can not deal "

"I will escape the moment if it's dangerous you guys inform Aunt to raise the security of the village"

After convincing them I ran at the full speed toward the direction of the sound.
