Seeing the Orc chief rained countless punches on Edric.
"EDRIC!"
'Fuck, if I don't do anything, he'll die.'
Before Jenson could think of anything, he heard Edric's voice.
"Kill them, Kill all."
"Blood, Blood,"
'What is he saying?'
Edric released a powerful killing intent that caused the Orc chief to back off.
'What with this killing intent? Is this really coming from a 15-year-old?'
Edric rose from the ground. He was drenched in blood. His eyes became dark red as if he was a demon.
"BLOOD!" Edric roared.
"Weak human is not weak." The Orc chief said.
Edric launched himself toward the Orc chief. There was a noticeable difference in his speed, and his attacks were far more powerful and brutal. It was as if he were an entirely different person.
Previously, his swordsmanship had the bearing of a warrior who fought with honor, but now he was a bloodthirsty beast.
"Blood!"
"Blood"
Edric bounced off the dungeon walls to attack the Orc chief. Small cuts began to appear on the Orc chief.
Krrrawa!
With each cut, Edric was filled with joy as he saw blood flowing from the Orc chief.
"More blood!"
"More blood!"
"Noisy bug,"
The Orc chief caught Edric and tossed him like a ball.
SLAM
"GAH!!"
Edric's bones shattered under the heavy impact.
"AARGH!!"
Edric screamed like a fierce beast in pain.
After Edric stood up, his broken bones caused him to fall again.
"BLOOD!"
He screamed in frustration. At this point, Edric had completely transformed into a beast.
[Control your emotion.]
[Calm down and let your body heal it.]
After hearing the voice, Edric began to calm down. As if the words had magic in them,
Due to the title effect of 'Son of ???', his body began to heal itself.
Meanwhile, Edric's red eyes started to return to normal.
Edric heard the same voice again as his senses started to return.
[Combine your Sword Will with Gen Flames.]
Edric's body moved itself. While sitting on the ground, he held his greatsword in front of his face. An invisible aura surrounded the greatsword and called forth Gen Flames.
Flames of black and purple engulfed the swords. When the runic symbols were completely covered in flames. He used all his strength.
SLASH
A combination of intense flames and Sword Will sliced the chief's body in half.
THUD
The Orc chief's lifeless body fell to the ground.

'Finally, it's over.'
"Edric,"
Jenson ran over to Edric.
"Cough,"
Edric coughed up some blood.
As Jenson approached Edric, he supported Edric back to sit up straight.
"How's Nina's condition?"
"She is out of danger, for now at least. But if she didn't get the proper treatment, it would be a problem."
"Well, good to hear that."
"Cough." Edric coughed more blood.
"Captain, please tell my parents that I am sorry for not being a good son, and let them know that I love them," Edric said in a weak voice.
Edric's eyes closed after saying that.
SILENCE
"Uh...so..what am I supposed to do?"
"Should I cry or hit you for overacting?"
"Captain, you are no fun."
Edric says while opening his eyes.
"Leave that aside. Thank you, Edric."
"For what?"
"Thanks to you, we didn't lose anyone today. If not for you, we would all be dead."
Seeing Jenson's face, Edric tried to stand up and said with a smile. Apparently, he was trying to appear heroic.
"You don't have to thank me for that. It's the duty of a hunter to protect lives. "
But he fell to the ground because of his wounds.
"Oh!"
Before Edric fell, Jenson held his shoulder and supported him.
"Let me help you."
Jenson put Edric's hand on his shoulder and started to approach the stone door.
----------------
In the meantime, outside the dungeon.
After the Orc chief's death, the barrier was removed and hunters from the association began entering the dungeon.
"Spread out and search the entire dungeon."
After ten minutes of searching, they were in front of the stone door.
Looking around, they found Nina lying in the doorway, unconscious.
"We found one. She is wounded." A hunter said.
From some distance, they saw Jenson and Edric walking toward them.
****
Seeing the hunters, Jenson said,
"It looks like help is here,"
"All of them were found. We are now leaving the dungeon." The hunter said.
"Are you not gonna wear your mask?"
"Oh! Yeah. I totally forgot about that."
Edric took his mask from his inventory and put it on.
As they were heading towards the dungeon gate, Edric asked.
"Captain, when Nina was unconscious, how did you give her the healing potion?"
"About that—"
"Wait, don't tell me you gave her potion like the male lead gave the female lead in the movies. That's sexual harassment, you know."
Jenson said, with a red face.
"I didn't do any sort of thing, you are thinking. I just used a healing artifact."
"Okay,"
They left the dungeon.
