Chapter 96 (1/2)
Chapter 96
The flow of the battle reversed in a heartbeat as soon as the band of Orcs jumped into the fray
Kwaaahang!!
The shock wave spreading out in the air easily bleay thousands of tentacles blanketing the sky like a dissipating fog
And that lull in the constant attacks of tentacles naturally gave the Knightsrooained, they were in the position to go on the offensive
SFX for tentacles rushi+ng forward
However, the nu out from the Monster bird seemed to know no end
Still, the assault fro matter, either
Whenever they swung their destructive maces, tens of hundreds of tentacles turned to dust These Orcs didn’t rely or care for style or technique, just focusing on brutal strength only
—-!!
The Orc that was the round hard, ju into the air
His leg strength allowed him to jump up several tens of ht towards the Monster’s cocksob��
SFX for tentacles shooting so out
Instinctively sensing the approaching danger, the tentaclespoison towards the Orc while ive a damn and simply activated the Leviathan’s scales to the absolute maximum
Although the Monster fired off the poison confidently, it had no effect on the scales, other than washi+ng off the dirt andthem look more shi+ny than before
‘It’s not enough’
But, unless Sae-Jin was in the Lycanthrope For strength could do; he was actually ai for the creature’s weakness, its coes of its wattle on the neck
Since there was little he could now, he used the Skill ‘Fierce Strike’ on the wattle, instead
Tthaaahang!!
The clear and vivid roar resounded at the same time as the attack connected The Monster bird writhed in pain after its vocal cord was attacked, but it couldn’t cry out that destructive crow any to be better than he initially thought
SFX for tentacles attacking
However, the tentacles were not suffering from the same pain as the Monster bird itself, as they were separate entities to begin with Since its host’s life was in danger, all the tentacles see whatsoever and focused solely on one target, rushi+ng towards the Orc that had attacked the Monster bird
And well, that was the biggest mistake this Monster could ever make in its life
“Everyone!!”
Pressed for time, Kim Yu-Rin shouted out one word as she dashed towards the Monster bird Other Knights shared the sahts present jumped towards the Monster
But in all honesty, there was no need for all ten of theh with Kim Yu-Rin there She squeezed out every ounce of Mana fro the sith the strongest purpose she could load the weapon with – “faint, never to wake up”
“…”
The an to falter to the side slowly
“Heu-euck…”
Even Yu-Rin herself faltered and squatted down as well As she didn’t have enough Mana, her Trait would remain activated for ten seconds at h
After all, it didn’t matter if those tentacles still thrashed about, as the Monster bird lying on its side unhtered in the end
On top of this hts descended
And so, that was how Kiood alert
The actual reason why he brought along these elite Orcs to this place was quite si froht evolve into the Orc Chieftain if he led other Orcs in a group hunt
And his expectation was right on the money
[Condition coroup hunt (3/3)] [The Monster Form ‘Orc Great Warrior’ will evolve into ‘Orc Chieftain’] [All Stats will rise drastically, and the body hair will grow accordingly]
‘…Hair?!’
What hair? Does ?
Initially, he felt somewhat disappointed by this But well, when he checked his Status Window, his jaw hit the floor With the exception of Mana Affinity and Magic Strength, every other Stat saw an explosive increase of over 100 points each
Plus, the amount of time he could suppress the instincts of the Lycanthrope, the time he could spend as the human Kim Sae-Jin, had increased to over 185 hours… So, yes, in that moment, he couldn’t be more happier even if he tried
The end of the battle finally ca off the Monster bird’s cocksob the only thing that filled this vast open space was deathly quiet stillness Ten Knights tried to control their heavy breathing, all the while staring at the group of Orcs
“…”
As expected, the first one tothem was Kim Yu-Rin She carefully moved her feet towards the Orc Chieftain
As the desolate wind blew across the land and tickled past the ankles, Yu-Rin carefully gathered both her ar up at the Orc That faint smile on her lips seemed to represent her current state of emotions
“…You did come But you said you wouldn’t”
She shyly opened her htly turned his head to look down on her
The thing was, her face was caked with sweat as well as with dried and unidentifiable black blood – which pretty ood at theup so out of her that reed up sewers
“…Ah, I’m…”
However, while totally unaware of her current appearance, she becaan twisting her body this way and that
“…”
The Orc let out a hollow chuckle and turned around to leave Since he becaot what he came here for No need to endure the smell of sewers if he could help it
“Wait, Mister Orc!!”
Kim Yu-Rin was about to chase after the back of the cold and indifferent Orc, but then, so her
It was Yi Hye-Rin this time as well Yu-Rin’s face hardened as she yanked her arm loose
But Yi Hye-Rin played this s, she simply showed the reflection of Yu-Rin’s face on the polished surface of the sword And the face that stared back was… really so else
“…Ah”
Yu-Rin’s jaent slack after receiving a powerfulthat pathetic appearance Even her consciousness wanted to blank out as well
The inforo on the Boss raid was lifted the moment the Monster was defeated and all the participants returned relatively unhurt The news reat distance all hurriedly began doing their thing
Disregarding all else, the news of the Hero Orcs entering the raid spread around and began soblling into soer The public didn’t pay th of the Monster bird, and rather, the event of the Orcs helping out in the raid stole all the headlines away instead
A the razor-sharp focused attention, Kiether with the Orcs got reevaluated favourably, but during the post-raid press conference, the person herself seemed rather downtrodden for some reason
[I was tasked atching over the village of the Hero Orc, and during my time there, I beca out this raid, I i it with the Hero Orc, but he ended up refusing the request However… on the day of the raid, he came to lend us an aid…]
Thanks to Yu-Rin’s press conference, the Orc was able to get an unexpected and explosive reaction fro about hi the “bad boy” type that women fell for
On the other side of the spectru that this event would go down in the annals of the world’s history as the beginning of a new era anddissertations on it as well
However, theall this havoc, Kio to a rather weird place on the first day of August
“How ht 1)
There was a tower in the Gangwon Province that rose up very high into the sky A tower that was absolutely overwhel the forest of skyscrapers, and at the same time, utterly different from them in concept
This toas often referred to as the holy land of all the Knights out there, and had the name Eden attached to it

“It’s no longer the level of ‘quite’, though?” (Unnaht 1)
Eden annually ran an evaluation test to officially appoint Knights and assign ranks to thehts – the ones that would be assigned to the Orders all over the country – would be selected
Normally, the participants of this test were cadets froht Academy as well as those who had awakened their Traits
Cadets without Traits were still allowed to participate if they presented their grades from the Academy As for those akened their Trait recently, one only had to prove that he or she possessed a ‘useful’ Trait to enter
“The ratio is?” (Unnaht 1)
“Almost all of them – no, with the exception of one, everyone else is either a cadet taking the test for the first ti it Ten of the newbie cadets possess Traits, sir” (Unnaht 2)
“Anyone interesting we should look out for?” (Unnaht 1)
“Yes There are three” (Unnaht 2)
The subordinate Knight handed over a chart to his superior officer
“First one is Yi Yu-Jin A fe Mana Judging by hoell she can control her sword aura already, I assuht be referred to as the new Ki in the near future” (Unnaht 2)

“Haha… Well, there’s nothing we can do about that, sir When a woman wields Mana, that process alone always smoothes out the skin tone and subtly reshapes facial structure to the so-called ideal form, after all”
A thin, bitter s rather disappointed at this idiot subordinate of his for still believing in that superstitious nonsense…

“His na a unique Trait It’s been na Mana as his own” (Unnaht 2)
“Hooh”
“And finally… He’s the only one who is not a cadet, sir And he’s a hoo when he was about to die from the cold and so he applied for a spot today” (TL: I almost TLed the homeless as a NEET instead Just so you know)
The superior officer frowned deeply Such an occurrence happened every now and then, but whenever he heard of it, it pissed hi to becoh hard work…
