A day later,
Finally, all the floors were cleared except the boss's room. It took Kyle and the team a while in doing that.
After the incident, Kyle felt like taking the fights very seriously. He was about to die from a level 3 and to be honest, it was kind of embarrassing. But, It was not like the enemy was of a trash race.
'It would have been great if I could take them as a slave rather these guys.' Kyle thought while looking at Abrel and the other goblins but shook his head in denial.
The goblins may have been weak but Kyle knew what the end results were. Abrel was now a Hobgoblin and he would get many evolution options after leveling up later. Same with the other goblins.
It had been an hour since Kyle beat the shit out of the level 5 Orc, Abrel and the others were taking the orc's bodies back without complaining.
"Having slaves is nice, they don't complain even when you make them drag the big corpses from the 4th floor to the 1st," Alicia said while clinging to Kyle.
"Uhh...yeah, but when will you stop holding me?" Kyle asked awkwardly, he may not feel anything but the look of the 2 mounds squeezed on his arms made his imagination run wild.
"Never!" Alicia exclaimed and squeezed more to Kyle's delight.
Some more time passed and Kyle swung the big club around for fun. It was not very likely that the boss would reach downstairs to attack him. The orcs were just too arrogant for that.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
The approaching footsteps made Kyle look downstairs, the goblins were coming up tiredly, the last corpse already transported back.
It was going to be very profitable for Kyle when he goes back to the town, he had many things to buy for the goblins that the system shop had but purchasing them from Dungeon Points, was not worth it.
Kyle gave them time to rest and after 30 minutes, they were as good as new.
"Okay, we are going up, this is the last orc to kill. Always be vigilant and keep each other's back protected. No one shall die here today." Kyle gave them some instructions.
When the last step was climbed, everyone could see a big room like usual, the only difference was a house made from mud or something at the end of the room where the chair of the orc should be. The huge curtain of the house's entrance swayed open revealing an orc with brownish skin.
The orc was only wearing a ragged beast's skin to cover his groin. Scars of different kinds all around his body. 5 skulls of around Kyle's head size were hanging at his waist upside down with god knows what filled in them.
*"Kek, I saw all the fights you had from here, they were quite bold and interesting."* The orc said while looking at the exotic group in front of him and continued *" But do you think you can survive after fighting with me?."* The orc's smile never wavered.
Kyle could feel the arrogance in his words but deep down, he knew that this orc could back it with strength. But the current thing that was bothering him was the empty hands of the orc.
'Where the fuck is his weapon?' Kyle thought while inspecting everywhere making the orc more amused.
"Skeleton 3 and Giant 2, attack him with all your strength," Kyle said making the skeletons move without any wait.
Alicia made a conflicted look while staring at the orc.
'There is something unusual about this orc.....but what?' She kept thinking while observing the orc who was going to clash with the 2 weakest of the skeleton division.
Skeleton 3 jumped with its usual prowess, it actually jumped pretty early and was about 10 feet up going in a straight direction with fast speed. The orc was also about 10 feet tall. Kyle was still looking at the orc with wary and his guess was actually right as a single chant escaped from the orc's mouth.
*" Earth Spear"* A very calm voice came out of his mouth and the next second, the skulls on his waist trembled, and a huge amount of brown dry soil came out of them in the air under everyone's bewildered gazes.
It was all happening within seconds but Kyle could see the whole process. The soil in midair joined together forming a long spear just above the orc's head. With just a flicker of his hand, the spear went with great speed toward the flying skeleton hitting it mid-air right at the skull.
BOOM!
The spear went past the head making it break into pieces. Under Kyle's pale gaze, his highly trained soldier of great loyalty died. It took him more than 20 days with a lot of raids to make its proficiency and level go up but it was all for naught.
"Kyle! That is an orc mage!" Alicia exclaimed in a high-pitched shout.
Kyle had already connected the dots, the spear did not stop and went to Giant 2.
"Dodge!" Kyle shouted, Giant 2 looked at the upcoming brown spear and at the right moment, moved its head and dodged it without worry.
BOOM!
The spear that was just going to pass the left side of the Giant's head exploded after some hand actions made by the orc.
The Giant got launched into one of the walls making it crash into the wall forming a crater under Kyle's nostalgic gaze.
*"Is this how you will defeat me? Haha, I am scared."* The orc snickered making Kyle grit his teeth.
"Stay back and hold your guard up, this is not a fight you can enter," Kyle said to the others and ordered the skeletons to follow in his footsteps.
"Kyle, listen, the orc mages are very dangerous, they need a well-synergized party to even survive," Alicia said in English with concern. Kyle could only listen to her and sigh.
The goblins were useless and he couldn't risk getting Alicia in danger. So the only option was to fight with the skeletons. He looked at the orc who was waiting for him to come fight.
This was going to be one hell of a fight.
