'She fought decently, but in the end almost lost.' Linda barely passed, but it was as Ren expected.
After that group was done with, Ren moved on to the next target. He wasn't going to go around looking or the other groups of Orcs, after all, they were warriors and wouldn't be scared to die, so his plan was to just go their village and kill everyone except for the chief.
"Let's move." Ren said. He already planned to take care of everything from the start, even before they entered the dungeon.
They headed straight to the Orc village, and for the most part, the structure was very much similar to that of the goblin village from the last dungeon, the only difference was that the tents here were bigger and often spotted animal bones in different parts, and the numbers were much, this meant the Orcs were also many in number.
Looking at all the signs pointing to the fact that the Orcs were plenty in number, all Ren saw was an increase in EXP.
The Orcs were quite hostile towards other races, so once Ren and Linda were spotted nearing the village at the gate, the two Orcs standing guard pointed their weapons at them, and the next step prompted the Orcs to attack. Of course, they were no match for Ren's skill, slash, so their bodies were split in half.
Judging from the split in experience points, it looked like the share was 9 to 1, Ren was satisfied. 'There really is no need to check her ability anymore.' With that said, he just went on a killing spree, cutting down an Orc he came across, be it a young Orc, and adult, or an old Orc, all were just walking EXP to Ren.
By the time he reached the chief's tent, he wasn't surprised to see an Orc the size of two Orc captains walking towards him with a huge axe, emitting a dangerous aura, after all, this Orc chief was the boss of this dungeon, and despite the limit of this dungeon being level 10, it was on the higher side, which meant the Orc chief was either level 10 or 11.
'I could easily kill this guy, but I have to keep him alive for the time being,' Ren thought to himself. He already knew what he was capable of, and he wasn't trying to behave like a main character and test his strength against a monster. He wasn't that crazy, not just yet.
Linda, who was sure enough not strong enough to go anything to such a monster, was obviously on edge seeing as it walked closer to Ren. For some reason, it appeared fiercer as it kept its calm, after all, all its kin had been murdered and their bodies spread all across the ground covering the tent.
'That is a real monster, how will he go about it?' She believed in Ren, well, she believed in his skill. The fact that he was still calm himself and not panicking definitely kept her mind afloat. This time, she was sure to watch the fight closely so she wouldn't miss anything.
The Orc chief's eyes had begun to turn red and a gleam of blood sipped from them. Seeing this, Ren was sure this was its second phase where it went berserk or a similar skill from what he remembered.
'Something is different. Is it entering its second stage even before the fight starts? I can't allow that now. Come on.'
He instantly closed the distance, and using his skill, 'Lightning Discharge', he succeeded in canceling the activation of the berserk skill.

. .
Unexpectedly, the skill came in handy at such a time, and once again, it's power was shockingly high for its level.
Nevertheless, Ren would not trust such a brute like the Orc chief to not be able to overcome something as simple as a shock. His resistance was definitely high enough to greatly reduce the skill's effect duration. With that in mind, Ren moved fast and cut all the tendons in the legs, above the heels, and on the hands, so the Orc chief could not move.
'Is this enough? What if he was to use some kind of skill that would still be effective in the state he's in?' Ren wondered, so he decided it would be best to be conscious, so…
*DANG
"…"
"That should solve things."
"Why'd you kick it and knock it unconscious? Is there something else that needs to be done?" Linda was curious.
"Well, there are still quite the number of EXP left to be collected from Orcs away on patrol who have no idea what has happened here, so naturally, a true warrior would know to collect those too." Ren said.
"But-"
"Come on, it'll be doing them a favour so they won't have to live without their tribe, wives and children and won't have to go on a revenge seeking mission that would never end, since they won't find me." Ren said.
Linda was a bit confused hearing all this, but she thought it best to ignore it and just ask her question, "No, I meant, how are we going to get them to come here?"
'Oh yeah, do they still don't know that these are not just artificially generated worlds and are actual worlds that clash with this earth? Or is she just the one who doesn't know yet?' Ren seemed to have forgotten, but it really didn't matter.
"Easy, we set this place on fire. That should attract them."
