Chereads / Desolate Monarch / Chapter 18 - Outnumbered

Chapter 18 - Outnumbered

After checking the Character Status of Catherine.

Outside, the noise increased.

It's probably the Orcs.

Ricky felt a large group of people approaching them.

"Isn't this sound like the monsters approaching us?"

"The Statue shouldn't allow them to come near here, right?"

The two feckless men questioned Ricky.

Ricky, though, simply shook his head.

The Constellation of Arawn lost its shine and all the gates vanished.

Bang!

Swish!

The statue of Arawn started to break and fall apart.

These indicators have a single, clear meaning.

"Notice that. And.. Prepare to move."

Ricky unsheathed Terror and closed Catherine her Character Status.

Enemies are closing in.

Orcs appeared from all over the place.

Over a thousand of them appeared to be present.

"Block the front. If we fight them on a narrow route, we can limit their advantage."

Therefore, there was hope if they engaged them at the entrance.

There was a limit to how many could enter via the entry, no matter how many there were.

First Ricky displayed his skill [ War Cry ].

But it had little impact on how the Orcs moved.

"Something is in charge of this Orcs,"

That indicated that there was an entity capable of managing this Orcs horde.

The Orcs could ignore the War Cry due to the power of someone who is leading them.

Without Terror.

" It would have been a close call."

Ricky drew out his weapon.

Slash!

Then he raised the edge of Terror to sever the approaching Orc's neck.

In addition, Terror activated blood thirst.

The blood refreshes Ricky's body.

This innate skill of Terror could help him fight non-stop.

He was bursting with power as he regained his vigor.

It didn't appear like he would pass out from exhaustion and collapse, at the very least.

"Stay on the line!"

"Argh!"

Catherine has obtained a hidden class, Martin obtained a shield, and the fourth individual appeared to have acquired two daggers.

The man was yelling loudly and wildly, swinging his two daggers.

"Wasn't Santana his name?"

He appeared to have succeeded in the tests as well.

Because he appeared to be a frightening cat who would eventually pass away, Ricky decided not to try to recall his name.

"But if he won the trial, everything now was different."

That indicated that he was strong enough to be of assistance for the time being.

"You fuckin Orc bitches, none of you will go by me!"

Martin's Shield of Protection obstructed the entrance the Orcs were trying to take.

The 'Shield Harden' buff from the Shield of Protection allowed him to reduce the level of damage he received.

"Lingering light"

Catherine quietly chanted, she cast down an elemental light and beacon upon the target.

Its effect is it does light damage that lasts 10 seconds if not restacked.

Every time you are caught by the light it increases the amount of damage your opponent takes by 3% per stack. (Stacks a maximum of 50 times)

It must be an inherent skill from the secret class, Light Chaser.

It is not very destructive, but it was enough to ease the battle and deal with the Orc's tough skin and muscles.

Stab!

Gush!

Gwak!

An orc's organs were utterly destroyed by the Terror that tore through it.

The Orc's body exploded and its blood scattered all over the place as soon as he drew terror out.

Not only that.

He was the only one stepping forward, the others stopping them at the gate.

He became more powerful thanks to the trial's higher stat gains.

The difference was great, and he also knew how to make the most of his strength.

He was able to move without using any unnecessary motions by instinctively estimating the air resistance, the angle of attack, and even the smallest movement of his muscles.

The Orcs moved in extremely predictable ways as compared to him.

They were numerous, yet none could halt Ricky's assault.

Those who witnessed Ricky's never-ending assault shuddered.

"Ha..."

" He is a true lunatic."

Santana, who was frantically swinging his daggers, as well as Martin, who was blocking the entry with his Shield Harden skill, were in disbelief.

The brutish Orcs were pitiful as Ricky brutally slaughter them.

Everyone thought what if Ricky pointed his weapon at them?

"Run away."

The same idea was shared by everyone.

Moving away.

There was no alternate path.

But there was still the issue of whether they could flee.

No one harassed him at the starting point but now he's considerably more powerful.

The phrase "monster" kept coming to mind repeatedly.

"What is it?"

Ricky continued to strike his blade while scanning his surroundings.

Most likely, the source of these Orc's control was nearby

Ricky's extraordinary sense was telling him that the enemy leader is near.

{ You Killed Five Hundred Orcs }

Reward: Title [ Orc Slayer ]

It appeared to be Ricky obtained a new title.

[ You have now the ability to read the Orc's motions. ]

Ricky was able to learn more about the Orcs in his environment thanks to the miraculous title Orc Slayer which increases his knowledge of Orcs.

In this place, there were 1,477 Orcs in total, Ricky knew that instinctively.

He also discovered where the Orc's leader was at the same time.

"It is there,"

inside the barracks.

There were the chieftains of the Orcs.

Ricky continued without pausing.

Martin would make it tough for Orcs to enter since the entryway was narrow.

That indicated that Ricky's presence with them wasn't required.

Furthermore, he made the much better choice to defeat the Great Orc's Chieftain and put an end to the conflict.

Ricky moved toward one of the barracks.
