V51C4P3 – The Fight of Karichwi the Orc

The crowd round in the plain for Ultar and Weed to fight in without any obstacles The I users occupied the space in the North, settling down to spectate

“Wow Who do you think in?”

“Weed-nim, obviously”

“But Ultar… He IS one of the very top rankers in the game I doubt he has ever been defeated by anyone, save for Bard Ray”

“I’ve heard ru as Bard Ray in one-on-one combat”

“You really can’t know that unless you actually fight him Rumors are just ru to be in for a treat, witnessing such an epic fight And that Weed-nim, the God of War, in”

Weed!

Ultar!

Their naet tensed with anticipation

Weed drew his Loa Sword, readying himself for the duel Fabio and Her his new armor

‘I didn’t expect hile combat I should enjoy this when I can’

Still in the form of Karichwi the Orc, he had to suppress a nasty s to spread over his face

‘Dueling is not so I’m particularly accustomed to, but I’m not too bad at it, either’

He had heard that knights and warriors had lots of opportunities to take part in single coh requests to defeat some people in such and such places Those duel quests were quite i one’s connections and fa one’s prowess in combat, but they were mostly irrelevant to a profession like sculptor

However, Weed had a tendency to find a way to win, by any means necessary

‘The fantasy of an honorable duel… Such a thing doesn’t exist in real world There are only the winner, and the loser’

Concealing the inner thought that was blacker than squid ink, Weed grinned

“Tsschwik Let’s ht, Ultar”

“Of course I didn’t expect to be able to face you so soon My thanks”

“Why are you thanking me? Chhhwick”

“Because we ht You have saved both me and the Hermes Guild a lot of trouble”

Ultar was armed with a sword and a crossbow in each hand Naturally, both weapons were i you in advance — you’ll have to be very, very wary of uard down, there will be a bolt stuck in your head”

Ultar’s fighting style was quite fa users Since his level reached over 200, his favored way of co so with the sword

Weed responded with a sood weapon Noas itthat this will be a fun fight Chhwick!”

“How about finding out exactly how hard it can hit before talking so big?”

Ultar felt his body go a little stiff with Weed’s confident remark, but he was still one hundred percent convinced of his victory

‘I’ to lose to a damn sculptor… Besides, he wouldn’t even be able to use undead su skills that’s beco to a duel in the forhable’

Orcs were nothing more than a race ofplenty of experience in raiding their villages and fortresses

‘TheirSpirit in order to boost the power of their comrades Orcs may be a race of warriors, but in the current circue froth over a short span of ti onemore than an orc They hly robust physique, but since they lacked the ability to use various skills in coly apparent as their level grew Their great size could also be another weakness, as it gave plenty of space for an opponent to attack On top of all that, Weed didn’t even bother ar himself with proper equip so orc armor that looked like he had picked it up somewhere, and its mediocre quality couldn’t even be compared to that of the Armor of Mother Earth he had borrowed from his friend

‘He must have underestimated me; how absurd I will prove to you that there are a lot of people in the Hermes Guild other than Bard Ray who areyou, Weed’

Truth was, Ultar had no idea what kind of thought was on Weed’s in the duel

‘That crossbow looks pretty expensive And all of his other gears look far from cheap Excellent’

‘I in this no matter what I will be the one to kill you, Weed!’

“Tsk, tsk”

At this verytheir attention on the single co Jun was also watching this fight through his ht unite Royal Road and succeed his entire legacy

“Ultar Who the heck is this guy?”

– He is a user currently ranked 77th in terth

What the AI Versailles said was very different froeneral public Ultar’s rank by level was coa did not take into account the silently active users whose profiles were not public Even though the Herrounds in the Central Continent, there were stillin the obscure corners of this land So hunted in labyrinths unknown to the rest of the world, and others stayed secretly in forbidden grounds

The Dark Gawith each other in private They grew in power, exchanging goods and information on black markets As Royal Road was their job, they maintained a secret life and avoided the eyes of the Hermes Guild There were also other users in the Northern, Eastern and Southern regions who had grown their strength in seclusion, diligently and persistently building up their skills despite many obstacles It was partly due to the redoubtable power of such users that the reign of the Haven Eh it looked so absolute fro irritated by the sight of Ultar, so full of confidence with his long sword and crossbow in each hand

“Does this one seriously think he’s going to win?”

– Inferring froaze, expression and the emotions in his voice, it is estimated that he is about 984 convinced of his victory

“What a stripling”

He could not hold back a sigh, seeing the whole situation Since Yoo Byung Jun had long been closelyWeed’s adventures, he was even better acquainted with Weed’s darker secrets than the companions around him such as Pale

“This is Sculptural Transformation, for starters And he chose to transform into none other than Karichwi the Orc…”

He knew that one ht have opted to change into the popular orc in order to excite the crowd Or it was also quite probable that he did it because of the food advertising deals he had recentlythis character Karichwi

Ramyun, pizza and chicken ads!

He had free-handedly entered into contract with three different franchises at the sa the said food with relish, and he was to receive so on the increase in sales As theof these ads had to take place in Royal Road he also did the cooking hireat enthusiasm was said to make the advertisers shout “Jackpot!”

‘Weed would never miss such an opportunity’

However, one still could not say they knew Weed well if they thought he only chose to assume the form of the orc for commercial purpose

‘This sly bastard always aims for AT LEAST two birds with one stone, maybe more’

He wasn’t entirely confident, but he still had an inkling of what Weed’s true intention was When a person te optimal for physical coly The wide assortment of different stats possessed by this jack of all trades will reorganize theth and Dexterity Weed was perfectly aware of the new size, center of mass and even various racial characteristics of his new form, and kne to make use of them

‘That’s why you shouldn’t dismiss him as just another orc He will be in a coue from all other orcs you have possibly faced until now’

And this was not the end of Weed’s hidden tricks

There were several different blessings fro that still had a little bit of duration left after he received the Fighter, Un Blade The effect of the ordinary blessings given from priests could not co himself And Gloves of Di the quest in the Palrangka War were another critical factor He will flash from place to place in the blink of an eye, and his attacks will jump over the boundaries of space to hit from unexpected directions Granted, it was quite a difficult combat style to master and Weed had not had a chance to practice it yet, but one would be wise to take into account his adaptiveness that could match a cockroach
