《What have I slain?》
”Boss, these h,” said Philip, exhausted
His eyes rested on the orc that Haroon just killed Recalling how tough the fight was, that the orc didn't even seeet tired no matter how many times he attacked, his body shook with fear
”Let's take a rest and heal ourselves with potions before the other orcs rush in We'll be in big trouble if that happens”
On Haroon's words, Philip retrieved the bag that he hid behind the rocks in the corner, took out some potions and handed them to Gitan and Ritrina Those tere exhausted as well Ritrina's hands ere receiving the potion, were shaking hard fro in her berserker mode
Haroon went to the corpses and cut off their lumps, then he headed to the other entrance Teeno happened to return at the same time
”How's the situation?”
”Nothing is going on, fortunately I think the sound didn't get out of this place as the passage is bent three times”
Teeno's words relieved Haroon's worries
”That's fortunate, since everyone's exhausted Okay, and anything special about this dungeon?”
”If what I saw and assueon has a circular shape overall, and was built by digging out the dirt Generally, the dungeon consists of four sections that are separated by the square near the central area Each section has a eway and rooms located to them, all in a whirl-like pattern Unlike the other orc tribes, it see how they for in every rooe has narrow paths that are connected to the central square”
Haroon ieon as a top-view maze It looked like a maelstrom
”These orcs are remarkable”
They were truly intelligent They had never heard of orcs that were capable of architecture The party was surprised to hear from Teeno's words that the orcs built the whole cave instead of using a naturally formed one
”I've never seen such a tribe in my whole life They have built their residences like hu how they have blackened holes with ashes that looks like furnaces, they kno to utilize fire They are very intelligent”
Teeno seehtened by what he had observed
Of course, there are some races of orcs who beca a cultured life But most of them were field orcs, and their appearance were more of a human nature rather than orc-like
It was coence was equivalent to, or less than a 10 year-old huer andat one place, because they were not capable of fares
But these orcs were different Utilizing fire alreadyof how Philip was having trouble dealing with an orc considering how his level was si to think that there were countless numbers of them in that cave
”Let me rest for now Then I’ll think of e should do next”
”As you wish, Boss”
Haroon looked around Then his face darkened
Philip, Gitan, and Ritrina were sitting against the wall and resting with devastated expressions on their faces Serinn finally got up after Hall’s treat beside Hall who just entered meditation
”Here, gather around for a second”
Sitting beside Serinn, Haroon called the other three They slowly stood up, and shah those three had already recovered fro fro hoeak they were compared to the orcs
”I suppose defeating the lump orcs by ourselves is a bit too much to ask”
Those words ain They eon, as they were frightened by the luth and combat ability
”Let's retreat for now, and coeon”
”Wise choice, Boss”
”Let's get out of here!”
Everyone welcoeon ay higher than they thought Moreover, they had no intentions of staying in a eon, since it didn't have any valuable treasure anyways
”Teeno, lead the others and head out of this dungeon I’ll scout this place a bit more for later”
On his words, hisup and headed toward the outside, but Teeno objected
”It’s too dangerous, Boss I knohat you are capable of , but this place is……”
”I know, Teeno I' a bit to plan ahead for next time”
Following his order, Teeno headed outside with the others Haroon s back, worried, and headed inside
'This is the best place to regain Brat's ability and help it to evolve I can't give up this chance I can always use its poison if I need to”
He only had 5 antidotes left, so he couldn't summon it unless it was necessary He simply felt that it would be a waste to , that his body has now internalized, Haroon went deeper and deeper
One of the features of Messenger Walking is that the steps don'tit hter, and the process also absorbs the sound, so it was a great skill to utilize while scouting
Like Teeno said, the pathway from the toilet to the residential area was bent three tiht couldn'tstones at head-height, so the cave wasn't dark at all
'They are intelligent enough to ht
As he reached the end of the pathway, a large place caht Like how Teeno said, there was soe place was divided into four sections There were buildings made out of dirt that were used as residential areas and so s that are presumably used as warehouses These orcs do live like humans
Haroon could hear so a conversation, and it was not far from him
'Woah!'
Surprised, Haroon hurriedly clih, it wasn't refined setting caught, Haroon cli stones
'Huh? What's this?
The wall further up fro stones was still in darkness, and the wall near the ceiling was still not polished, so there was a lot of solid places to rest on They probably didn't bother to s
Looking from above, Haroon could see two lu tohere he was
'Theyto the toilet'
Seeing how they were not ar the belly, Haroon doubted if these guys really were the luht with But without hesitation, he took out so sure not to make any sound He had to be extra careful as the lump orcs’ senses were sharp
As soon as the orcs passed the point right below hi multi-shot
'Soht call me a coward, but I have no other choice'
The knives hit the back of the orcs' heads With a short screaround Haroon hurriedly headed down and dragged the bodies to the toilet
”damn! That was damn heavy”
Their bodies were a lot heavier than he thought After cutting off their luive up on their leathers
”What do I do now? Do I retreat and coht now?”
He didn't have hisup this chance He wanted to regain brat's ability and evolve him now if he could
”Well, let's finish this for now I' out of antidotes anyway”
Making up his mind, he headed back to the entrance where hisfor him
The ainst the wall near the entrance Unlike the inside of the dungeon, the darkness has drawn over the outside
”Let's rest for now”
The members were so exhausted they weren't interested in what Haroon had found inside the dungeon, and they slowly started ood ood place to sleep They made dinner with the deer meat they hunted the day before, and finished their meal with a cup of tea Haroon let his eon The Quad wankers fell asleep right away after the dinner, but Hall and Teeno stayed awake to see him off
'Theyto the toilet as this is after their dinner time'
Haroon was intending to sneakily attack the ones that would co the leathers, getting the luh for him
And his assuht
The orcs were flooding into the toilet Haroon waited for the perfect uard to their lowest, but he soon changed his mind
Because the orcs kept coot found by the orcs If it wasn't for his skill to integrate brat into one of his throwing knives, the whole plan would have failed
Haroon went back to the place where he hid when he went scouting It allowed hi the orcs As the orcs were going to the toilet frouard was already low, so there was no chance they would sense Haroon's throwing knives
Once he killed an orc, he quickly dragged it to the toilet, cut off the luht, Haroon opened up some holes that had an excessively foul sic to spread the smell
As Haroon's actions were very careful, and as it was the ti, no orcs had noticed that so on around theh lumps
'Just one more'
Dragging the heavy dead bodies of orcs and suh he regained health andabout the et just one ht
'It's the Orc Chief!'
Its size ice as big as the other lu luxurious armor, self-made or stolen from humans, and it had 3 lumps on its head
'The hell? Does this one sleep while wearing gear on?'
Haroon was perplexed It was even wearing a helauntlets and boots
'There's no way I can kill it withknives'
It was only exposing its face and the front of its neck, which was not a place he could hit fro knife, so there was no way his knife could make it to its face if it was thrown from a place where it can see him
While Haroon was thinking of which move to make, the Orc tribe chief passed where he was at Then it suddenly stopped and made soround The orc tribe chief had found the trace of blood and the trace of soed over the floor
'shi+t! Now all I have is Brat's poison!'
Haroon summoned Brat on stand-by mode and told it of his intention
– 'Brat, I need so poison'
– 'Leave it to me, Mas!'
As if it knew its oas doing hard work for it by even deciding to give up his time for sleep, it followed his order without the bratty behaviour it used to make
The Orc Tribe Chief see, and took out its waraxe Oddly enough, the axe was not shi+ning at all, but its sharpness was frightening
It was fortunate that it hadn't called the other orcs yet It was not known if it was not sure of as happening, or if it was being overconfident in its abilities If it had called the other orcs, it would only be a e in the toilet was found
While the orc chief carefully went around the corner, Haroon su to be as quiet as he could
”Summon”
Brat quickly followed the tribe chief As soon as the UI sound alerted of the poison status effect, Haroon quickly took an antidote He could hear the orc chief shouting
[You have been feared by the Orc Tribe Chief You are stunned for 3 minutes Your ability is decreased by 20 for 5 minutes]
Stunned for 3its shout? This boss ht But it see hin of anything
After 3and headed toward the passage Although it was a large place, it was an enclosed area so the Orc Chief's shouting was echoing around the cave
He needed to run away as soon as he could
After turning around the corner, he could see Brat spraying so over the Orc Chief Presu materials
The Orc Chief was covered in the fog, but it wasn't falling asleep that easily Instead, it inging its axe around, and surprisingly enough, its axe was covered in a mana-blade
”It is a prime-expert?!”
It was capable of using h, Haroon didn't even iine it to be able to use mana He dropped his jaw
It was shocking to know that not only was it physically strong, it was able to use hts This was valid proof that the luh abilities
”It's too dangerous! Come back!”
The Orc Chief was not even able to open its eyes because of the fog, and it inging its axe around chaotically, which put Brat in danger Although no nore an eleh to har a creepy smile, Brat flew back to Haroon
”Hehehe! I thought you didn't like me as all you do is beat me up……”
It ood mood as it realized that its owner actually cares about it
”How did it go?”
”Well, it's still resisting h, but it'll fall asleep in no time Hehehe! The material will spread inside its body even faster since it moves so much”
Just like what Brat had confidently said, the Orc Chief fell asleep soon after Hesitating for a second, Haroon bit his lips and took out his steel sword As the orcs would have heard the Orc Chief's shouting, the orcs would be rushi+ng toward hi it when it couldn't even resist, he put all his strength on the sword and cut its neck
The Orc Chief died in vain while sleeping, not even being allowed to scream
[You have slain the Orc Tribe Chief]
[You have leveled up by 8!]
[You are rewarded with 300 gold!]
[You have gained 200 Fame]
[You have gained 50 SP]
[You have been granted the rare title of 'Luained 2 points]
[You have acquired an item]
[You have acquired an item]
Even before the UI sounds finished, Haroon took out his catrat knife Though he would get poisoned fro it, there was no need to worry as he already took an antidote
