Chapter 304 (1/2)

”Um…Leigong-san are you sure this is the best way to do this?”

”What do you mean? Of course, it is, now stab it through the eye… though I think you could also do it through the ear, just be sure to hit the brain.”

Takeshi, dressed in light armor and with a steel sword in his hand was looking at Zhang Dong who was holding something. It was a large orc-looking monster, it was the type of orc that was more pig like but also had green skin.

”You must land the last hit to get the experience you'll get even more if it's a critical hit, aim for the eye!”

The youth with the sword wasn't alone here, with him was the whole party of girls. They were all looking from the sidelines. Some of them were covering their eyes while others were peeking from between their fingertips.

”O-okay…”

Takeshi took off running and activated one of the basic skill called 'Sword Thrust'. His steel sword started glowing in blue before increasing in speed and penetrative power. The Orc was subdued and stationary so it was quite easy to land the critical hit through the eye socket.

”UuRGhhh…”

The orc cried out for a moment before succ.u.mbing to the deadly injury. Soon its body disintegrated into many tiny particles. These small glowing dots formed a torrent of energy and headed towards Takeshi and entered his body. Soon the youth watched as his status screen popped out before his face signaling him that he gained a couple of levels.

”See that wasn't that hard!”

”Y-yeah…”

Zhang Dong looked at the people gathered here. They were in a special dungeon that was opened up right after the Heroes received their classes and unlocked their class system. He was sure it had something to do with this world's scenario as this place was clearly a tutorial stage that helped these kids earn levels easily.

This dungeon had many levels and was situated directly under the capitol castle. It reminded him of the smaller version of Cthulhu that he fought. It also was right at the spot that he appeared on and was corrupting weaker monsters that he could train against. It was his first real obstacle that let him achieve a small breakthrough in his own demeanor. Only after defeating that monster did he start to gain confidence.

Now these youths were in a similar situation. Thanks to Isabella's and Beatrice's positions they were able to wiggle into a spot at the heroes party. There was actually quite a large number of people here. Just like he thought the members of the royal family were trying to weasel their way into the hearts of these heroes.

There were princes in costly shiny armor here along with the cute princes that was adept at buffing magic. She was constantly staying close to Takeshi and batting her long eyelashes at him. Even though Zhang Dong had told him to not trust them the young man was not good at listening.

The youth was constantly blushing and sneaking in peeks at the pink haired princess. It was clear that this was the first time that a beauty of this caliber had given him so much attention. There was no way of him not falling for her, he was barely sixteen with no experience at all. This all felt similar to his first real experience that he had so long ago with that one vixen.

'I wonder if she is still at the sect…'

His thoughts trailed off to his home again. He had been trapped here for over a month now and time was ticking down. After defeating the three demon lords there was no new news about the other ones.

The first Demon lord of Pain he had forced out into the open. The second one was an established Archdemon with his own little territory that people knew about already. The monster was kept under wraps but no one could fully get rid of it till he came along. The last one had freshly descended into the human domain through a ritual and was also now gone.

Zhang Dong was out of options as he had already gone around the known continent and tried to find more demons. After his little eradication spree they were now in full hiding mode. The only place one of them could be in was one of the buried dwarven countries or somewhere on the island of the elves.

The former was unlikely as the long ears had a vast array of protective magic along with detection spells to counter any evil beings. Though the Principal was also an elf and she had a demon working for her as a maid. Thus there could be a high ringing demon hiding there but it was also possible that there were no more Demon Lords on this side.

It was possible that the two last Archdemons were waiting for them behind the huge barrier between continents. News of three of their generals being killed had probably reached their ears. It would be stupid of them to not be cautious and just continue invading in the same way as they did before.

”Oh my, Lord Takeshi let me bring you some water, you must be parched…”

”Ah, thank you Princess Delilah.”
