When Noan saw the cards sent, his heart was filled with joy.
Noan was very grateful that Lylia sent him some monster cards even though they were just E-rank.
In this dire situation, any help means a lot. Lylia's help even helped him survive until now, so he was truly grateful to her.
Besides, this is a Goblin summoning card, so he can fuse it into a High Orc, and moreover… he can help Urlgan evolve.
"Use all the Goblin summoning cards."
Immediately after, many Goblins crawled out from the summoning lake; they knelt before Noan, their expressions extremely respectful.
But their eyes were filled with greed as they looked towards Vylyss.
Vylyss frowned, snorting in disdain: "Huh!"
That sound scared the goblins, and they immediately bowed their heads.
Noan knew it was the difference in class that made the goblins fear the succubus.
A Goblin is only E rank, but Vylyss is D rank.
"Fuse them all." Noan didn't want to see the information of these Goblins either; he decided to fuse all of these Goblins.
The Goblins turned into particles of light, then merged together.
There were many Goblins, but in the end only one Goblin remained standing in front of Noan.
[Ding! Congratulations on your successful fusion; you have obtained the Mutated Shaman High Orc - Rank D+.]
Seeing the notice board, Noan was overjoyed; however, at this moment, he also felt a slight change in his body.
Noan could feel his physical strength increase slightly; however, what was special was that he also felt a strange flow appear in his body.
"This is… energy flow." Noan immediately recognised what it was. After all, he had already learnt all the necessary knowledge in the academy, so of course he knew how special energy flow was.
Noan clenched his fists, feeling his body refreshed; he was filled with alertness and strength as both his physical and mental fatigue were completely gone.
He tried to contain his joy as he looked towards the high orc shaman kneeling before him.
That high orc wasn't as tall as Urlgan, but rather a bit short.
No, saying he was short wouldn't be correct, because the Shaman High Orc's height was somewhat similar to his, being around 175-180 cm.
However, the Shaman High Orc was covered in a rough cloth cloak and carried a stick about two meters long in his hand.
On the tip of the stick was the skull of an animal that somewhat resembled a mountain goat, with two horns on its head.
The Shaman High Orc's face resembles the Warrior High Orc's, but he is older, and his beard and hair have turned silver.
"Master… Please give me a name." The high orc shaman bowed his head and said.
Noan realized… Once they mutated, they would have superior intelligence compared to other high orcs, and of course, they would need names.
Noan thought for a moment, then said, "Your name will be Urlgug."
"Thank you, master." Urlgug bowed respectfully and said.
Noan opened Urlgug's information board to see.
…
Name: Urlgug
Race: Shaman High Orc - (D+)
Description: A shaman of the High Orc race, although his physical strength is not high, he can use many types of magic to attack.
In particular, Shaman High Orc can use magic to buff High Orcs, increasing their fighting power.
…
Noan nodded, feeling extremely satisfied. He now had a mage, support, and tanker.
Urlgan will be the tanker and main damage dealer, Urlgug will support from afar with magic, and Vylyss will take on the role of attacking from afar or controlling the opponent.
It could be said that his formation was gradually being completed. What was more special was that Noan could use a little bit of Urlgug's magic.
'It seems… I not only inherited the power but can also use all the skills from monsters that possess the 'Evolution' mark.'
Noan was overjoyed.
Not only magical power, but he felt like he could also use the ability to harden his outer skin like Urlgan.
It's just… He doesn't know how to use the ability.
Noan shook his head; he didn't want to think anymore. After all, having another mutated monster was already an unexpected joy for him.
Surely the road ahead would be simpler; even if he faced a Hunter again, he felt he wouldn't be in too much danger.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Suddenly, the alarm bell rang. Noan frowned, immediately going up to the ground with Vylyss and Urlgug.
In the great hall, Noan clearly saw a group of Lickers crawling outside through the Bunker's lights.
Like a colony of ants, the number was extremely large, perhaps more than 20 or even more than 30 Lickers.
Vylyss frowned and said, "Master, there are about 40 Lickers outside; they seem to be heading towards us."
Noan panicked; he felt that they were definitely coming towards them.
"Can you win?" Noan asked, frowning.
Vylyss, Urlgan, and Urlgug were all silent; they were uncertain but had no choice but to fight.
Noan sighed, took out all the (E+) rank energy stones, and divided them equally among the three.
"I hope that after this time, we will still be alive. I will…"
"No!" Vylyss suddenly shouted; she frowned at Noan: "Master, you are the leader, you cannot fight with us."
"Don't worry, I'll just stand behind and not risk my life." Noan said with a smile.
Vylyss fell silent upon hearing this, but her face still showed worry.
"Alright, let's go. Let them know that… I, too, am not someone who can be bullied easily."
Urlgan and Urlgug nodded, then went outside with the other four skeletons.
Vylyss wanted to fly out but was held back by Noan.
"Master?" She looked at him in confusion.
"You have another mission."
"Heh?!"
…
Krit! Krit! Krit!
The Lickers seemed to go crazy; when they saw Urlgan, they immediately rushed towards him, madly using their tongues to attack him.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Urlgan's skin instantly turned black; the Licker's tongues were like drills but could not break Urlgan's defense.
When attacking, only the sound of metal clashing is heard.
GRRRRR!!!
Urlgan roared; he was even more furious than the Lickers. His face was filled with ferocity as his eyes turned blood red.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Urlgan no longer cared whether he hit the Licker's head or not and swung his thorn mace instinctively.
However, each time the thorn mace was swung, a Licker died instantly, blasted into a pile of minced meat.
The Lickers seemed fearless, charging closer and closer towards Urlgan.
Four skeletons joined the fight but were quickly shattered into countless pieces by the Lickers.
The Lickers swarmed around Urlgan, completely obscuring him, using their numbers to suppress him.
"Bust!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from afar.
Urlgug stood in the distance, waving the magic staff in his hand, the skull on the magic staff emitting a strange red light.
The light flew towards Urlgan, who was buried by the Lickers, wrapping around his body.
GRRRRRR!!!
Urlgan seemed to gain strength as he immediately grabbed a Licker's head and then squeezed hard.
BAM!
Its head instantly shattered, blood and white brain matter crushed by Urlgan, splattered everywhere.
The Lickers were not afraid, but neither was Urlgan.
Although the Thorn mace had fallen to the ground, he was still able to use his hands to crush the Licker's head.
"Bust! Shield!" Urlgug stood in the distance, once again using magic.
Urlgan's body was enveloped by two more layers of red light. He felt his body filled with energy, and even the skin on his body, which was already hard, became much harder.
The Lickers were basically unable to break through his defenses, no matter how hard they tried, they were killed one by one by Urlgan.
Suddenly, the Lickers, as if obeying someone's command, immediately turned their heads, looked towards Urlgug, and then, they charged towards Urlgug like a pack of rabid dogs.
Urlgug frowned, disdain in his heart. He stabbed the magic staff in his hand on the floor, then shook it.
It seemed that there were marbles inside the skull attached to the tip of the magic staff. When Urlgug shook it, they made a very strange sound.
Cok! Cok! Cok!
The sound continued to ring, accompanied by a gust of wind.
GRRRRRR!!!
A terrifying roar rang out as countless gusts of wind suddenly gathered into a giant tiger, charging towards the Lickers.
WHOOSH!!!
The wind whistled loudly, sending the Lickers flying backwards.
Urlgan now also ran towards Urlgug; he had the thorn mace and a shield in his hands.
He swung the thorn mace in his hand around, and the unlucky Lickers hit by the thorn mace died instantly.
Urlgug also retreated, trying to get back into the bunker for cover.
The skill just now looked very impressive, but in reality it didn't do any damage; it was only used to hold the enemy in place.
Urlgan frantically swung the thorn mace in his hand, but the Lickers ignored him and only charged towards Urlgug.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Explosions rang out one after another, and many Lickers were killed, with only half of their number remaining.
However, Urlgan had begun to pant, the strength used to swing the thorn mace gradually draining away.
He tried to throw the shield in his hand; the shield flew at high speed, stuck into the stomach of a Licker, and its intestines and internal organs spilt out.
Urlgan tried to fight even though he was extremely tired.
In the distance, in the woods, a dark figure sat on a tree branch, its legs swinging as if it was watching something quite interesting.
"It's just a high orc, but his fighting strength really surprised me."
The shadow muttered.
"And that Shaman High Orc… not only can it use magic to strengthen its teammates, but it also has the ability to defend itself."
"It seems… this lord has some mysteries that I need to uncover."
As the shadow smiled strangely, a chain suddenly appeared and rushed towards her.
Keng!
The black figure did not turn around, only swung her arm behind her. In her hand she held a dagger, preparing to block the chain just now.
"Ara ara! Sneak attacks are no good, my boy…"
Not far away, Noan and Vylyss were looking towards that dark figure. Especially Noan, his eyes were filled with confusion and discomfort, mixed with a bit of anger.
"Who are you?"
