honor.
It was unexpectedly one of the most important values for Orcs, known for being ignorant and reckless.
Warriors, in particular, took great pleasure in confronting a strong opponent and dying with honor as a warrior. That's why you can fight against the enemy without risking death.
It was for this reason that Rokhan dared to appear in front of them and provoke them with provocative words.
The effect appeared instantly. Orc warriors who sat on his seat and groomed their weapons gathered in front of him.
"Sniff sniff, a man who knows honor, this is the first time."
"Human, let's compete with me."
He looked like he would harm him if he didn't compete with him, but Rokhan knew it. That they are as surprisingly pure as they are simple. Until one was pointed out, no one would attack first.
'done.'
Seeing their reaction, Rokhan smiled inwardly. The title he was aiming for was 'Caught an Orc Warrior at Level 1'.
One of The Road's hidden titles.
Immediately after the first job change, if you defeat a monster of a certain level or higher as your first prey, the title of 'caught ○○ at level 1' will be attached.
It is difficult to obtain because it is a title that can only be obtained by hunting alone, but it is a great help if you can get it because it gives quite a bit of additional stats depending on the type of monster.
So, the monster Rokhan chose was an orc warrior. He remembered that in his previous life, someone had received a title that greatly increased strength and stamina thanks to catching an orc at level 1.
Orc warriors, of course, are different from orcs. This is because the weakest orc warriors are in the mid-to-late 40s, and are usually strong guys who have reached level 50.
But Rokhan was confident of winning. Even though the difference in equipment apart from level or ability was significant, Rokhan judged that if it was his own control, he could catch it enough.
That's why I was escorted to this place with all my property. To not deal with any monsters until you meet the Orc Warrior, and to maintain level 1.
Going through the training ground and falling behind others, now it was working as a big benefit.
"Who is the strongest among you!"
There, Lokhan provoked them once more. bring the strongest If you do this, you want 'named' to appear.
With that word, a commotion erupted once more.
"Chwiik, it's me!"
"No, it is me!"
"I am the strongest, let's fight!"
"Chwik! Let's decide the game now!"
After each said that they were stronger, there were also guys who threw Rokhan and hit each other.
'There must be no end to this.'
It was an obvious mistake. I'd rather just pick one guy. Their simplicity was so underestimated that Lokhan had to wait a long time, pressing his throbbing brow.
Then, at some point, the air changed.
"Everyone be quiet."
'Oh, why are you out there'
A single being higher than them appeared.
Orc fighter!
The strongest of the 70 level orc camps!
He who should have been in a more distant residence appeared here.
"You are an interesting person. Would you like to play with me then?"
'crazy… … .'
No matter how much Lokhan was, fighting an orc was burdensome. Moreover, isn't he all about holding an ax right now?
Orc warriors are only high level and have not undergone a 2nd job advancement, but an orc warrior would have all of the 2nd job advancement equipment and skills.
Then, unexpected salvation came down. The orcs around them protested.
"Chwiik, Chieftain! He is ours."
"That's right, the chieftain is too strong."
It was only a passive rebellion, perhaps because the opponent was a chieftain and fighter, but fortunately, he looked at them and Rokhan with interest.
"Chwiik, yes. First, you must prove your eligibility. Alright, you deal with the calo."
"good night. Human, fight me."
When he pointed at an orc, the other orc warriors made no more noise. It's unfortunate, but I have no intention of challenging his strength and authority.
'Good.'
Seeing that, Rokhan rubbed his heart inwardly. In this way, you will be able to get the title you want anyway.
Of course, being killed by the next Orc fighter would be inevitable.
'Let's see you leave this bastard.'
Indignant, but gnashing his teeth, saying he would smash it on the next visit, Rokhan pulled the woodcutter's single-edged ax tight.
"Chwiik, this is the fight of an honorable warrior. Let no one intervene."
The stern order of the orc fighter was given, and an orc warrior named Kalaw stepped forward. The rest of the Orcs surrounded them in a circle, naturally creating a one-on-one arena.
'Make sure to catch it.'
Right before the start of the confrontation, Lokhan invested all of his accumulated spare stats. His strength, stamina and tenacity were in a 2:1:1 ratio.
Coincidentally, the opponent's weapon was an ax identical to his own.
Of course, it was a much better 'Orc battle axe' than his, but Lokhan was confident. Even if he has good equipment, it doesn't mean that the ax blade won't go into it.
Besides, if you hit the armor, the durability of the weapon would fall and be smashed before you could see bare skin, but fortunately, like the orcs who prided themselves on their muscles, they didn't wear a lot of stuffy armor.
"Kheheheheung!"
It wasn't that someone rang the starting bell, but it was Lokhan who naturally jumped in first.
Kalow and the orc warriors were a little surprised when he exploded his War Cry with a demon-like face. However, the difference in level was extreme to see the effect. Rather, his stats were cut by the roar that Kalow gave him in front of him.
In that situation, as if they had promised, the first clash was a head-to-head match.
"It's just this!"
Surprisingly, it was Lokhan who got the upper hand in the first clash.
Despite the decline in Kalo's ability in Battle Cry, he overcame the difference in equipment and pushed his opponent several steps with his power. Then, without giving him a chance to correct his posture, he kicked right into it.
"dash! strike!"
This time, he even borrowed the power of his skill. With his stance broken, Kalo jumped up in a fright at the more powerful blow that came at him. But that was all he could do to block it with his body.
Cagaga River!
I was going to kill him at once, but unfortunately, he twisted his body at the last moment. He crashed into his breast armor, sparks and bruised blades.
[Ax Mastery has increased by 0.3%.]
[Ax Mastery has increased by 0.1%.]
Each time Lokhan shook his axe, his Ax Mastery proficiency rose rapidly.
His ax skill was perfect, but the rate of skill increase was slow because the maximum value that could rise at once was 0.3%. Even so, it was not too late to exceed 10%.
Thanks to the large and sharp battle ax that was used only for defense, Lokhan was excitedly raising his proficiency as if hitting a punching bag.
"Ax Crush!"
Obviously, the counterattack from Kalaw was also fierce. But Lokhan didn't give him a chance at all. I kept beating him to keep him from coming to his senses, and when he responded with a powerful skill, he avoided it without hesitation.
Ax's biggest weakness, slow attack speed and gap after attack, didn't seem to apply to him.
By holding the ax handle short and reducing the size of the swinging motion, Rokhan's blow was swift, and the power emitted by his immense muscle power entered heavily even if there was not enough gap.
Defense and durability were already meaningless.
Kalo, who felt inferior in strength, deliberately aimed for Lokhan's weapon and came crashing into it.
But already, Lokhan was using the lumberjack's single-edged ax as a blunt weapon rather than an axe. It was because the kallo was too hard to put forward anticipation or offensive power.
So, Rokhan decided to beat it up and make it into porridge.
Hit and dodge, hit and hit and dodge... … .
The battle was one-sided. Rokhan's combat experience was a waste to fight even if he was equal in terms of ability.
The one-sided beating situation was repeated, and finally the game was won.
"Kkeuk!"
It was a one-sided victory for Rokhan! A good level 50 orc warrior was beaten by a single level 1 berserker.
Even Lokhan was not using Berserk, the symbol of a berserker.
As soon as Kalo dies, a light flashes and the system announces that he has leveled up and won the title. No, it had to be.
[Incredible achievement! You single-handedly defeated an orc warrior at 1st level. Your dance will be remembered by many.]
[You have acquired the title 'Caught an Orc Warrior at Level 1'.]
[You are the first recipient of this title.]
[The warrior's honor quest is in progress.]
[Payment of title and EXP is suspended.]
[The title and acquired experience will be paid in bulk after completing the quest.]
However, the system forcibly put him on hold from leveling up and winning the title. It means that Rokhan is on a quest.
'What Quest What Quest'
Recalling that a separate notification window had never appeared, Rokhan suspected a bug, but soon understood.
An orc fighter who had been watching his battle came forward.
"Now, you have proven your qualifications to fight me."
The action of the orc fighter who kicked the dead Kalow's corpse away was natural, as if he knew it would happen from the beginning.
'That's right... … .'
The orc fighter forced the quest to be triggered. He wanted to join himself, but needed proof of qualifications, so he only used Kalow.
So it was only natural that the result would change depending on the outcome of the battle with him.
If you defeat him, you'll get the title of 'Caught an Orc Warrior at Level 1', and if you don't, you'll get only the accumulated experience and title from defeating the Orc Warrior, and you'll be forced back to town.
"Okay, come on."
But it wasn't just gloomy. This is because the payment of experience points and titles were suspended, but the items were delivered as they were.
Among them, 1 silver and 50 copper money and the orc battle ax he was using were dropped and were in his inventory.
Lorkhan immediately discarded the lumberjack's single-edged ax and switched weapons. This alone will help.
But he had another weapon.
It was Berserk.
The Orc fighter was a strong man who would naturally think of defeat, but with this one, he might be aiming for a reversal.
'If it doesn't work, I'll die once.'
Even if it failed, in fact, Lokhan had little to lose. The drop in experience would be more than enough to cover the orc warriors, and as long as you didn't drop the orc battle axe, doing anything would be a huge benefit.
Whether or not he knew Rokhan's ulterior motive, the Orc fighter took the fight seriously.
"Chwik, I am Tachwihal. your name is"
"Locan."
"Okay, Lokhan. Prove your honor."
Tachihal raised his weapon, the greatsword, aimed it at Lokhan and smiled.
"strike!"
This time, it was Lokhan who took the lead. As with Kalow, the explosive power of his muscles imbued his battle axe.
Caang!
But the opponent was different. There might be a difference in weapons, but in terms of strength, the strike was not pushed. Rather, it overpowered Rokan.
However, Rokhan expected even that. As the battle ax ricocheted, Lorkhan gripped the ax handle wide to prepare for the next attack.
jjoong!
As expected, Tachihal lightly handled a greatsword as large as a man. Ordinary people tried to dismember Lokhan's body at unimaginable speed.
Although it was blocked by the battle axe, which was made of metal even to the hilt, it was destroyed, but the aftermath of the attack shook Lokhan's insides. A groan came up.
However, Rokhan rather rushed towards Tachhal's arms.
"dash!"
Even the dash he had been saving had been used.
By the time the distance between the two was too close to wield a weapon, Lorkhan had already pulled the ax short.
"Get lost!"
"joy! Throwing."
But it wasn't easy to beat. When Rokhan got too close to help, he threw his greatsword away. The strength of the skill, which was added to it, attacked Rokan.
