章 10: Chapter 10
10 Blue Orc Shamans were on the back. 100 Blue Orcs In Front of them looking at the enemy.
Their eyes didn't resemble those of hunters; instead, their hands, legs, and whole bodies trembled.
As If the sight In Front of them emerged straight from their nightmare.
What could even instill fear in these monsters? The answer's simple: more monsters who would hunt their own kin.
500 Blue Orc skeletons stared at the 100 blue orcs, wielding their great swords.
If it were only these skeletons, the orcs wouldn't have been so scared.
Clad in blue robes, only revealing their bony faces with two sockets where blue flames were lit. Their hands glowed blue, as the orc skeletons emitted a blue aura.
The already thick bones expanded and became sturdier. Their height increased by half a meter, and even the flames in the undead orc eyes intensified enough to create the illusion that they could spew fire from their eyes.
There was not only one of those robe-wearing orcs; masses of them, nearing 50, cast their magic.
Each one could support 10 allies; hence, 50 of them completely boosted 500 undead orcs.
The price was so low, 10 mana per minute. They had 2000 mana each, so they could support the army for half an hour.
"This is interesting," Aldrich sat on the back of the undead wolf. The wolves were only some in number as all of them had been destroyed in countless battles.
The undead wolf was special; there was something like a saddle on it, but it was huge enough to fit its body.
The end of these saddles was erected, so one won't fall off easily. Aldrich was laying back, observing the battle as if he was watching a movie.
He even had popcorn, pizza, and cakes lying around. He ate as he commanded, 'Attack' in his mind.
The enhanced undead blue orcs bolted towards the blue orcs. The blue orcs shuddered, even when the blue shamans gave buffs.
Clang! Clang!
Ssssss!
Swish!
The great swords moved, cutting through the air. The blue orc arms were cut directly with each slash.
The blue orc screamed as it completely let down its guard and was exterminated in a matter of seconds.
However, when the great sword broke the undead blue orc arm, it directly grabbed the blue orc arms and kicked it around its groins.
The blue orc fell to the ground, shocked by the pain, and was swiftly killed.
Skeletons couldn't feel pain. Not to mention, 500 ganged on 100. If this battle continued for more than 5 minutes, Aldrich would have been so disappointed.
The blue orc shamans were confronted by the undead blue orc shamans. Their magic collided.
However, Undead Blue Orc Shamans only had Sharp Strike. This did cut some Blue Orc Shamans, but most of them could erect barriers, attack with dark flaming balls, great strikes, and even rain down black magical spears.
Each attack was devastating enough that Aldrich had to deploy undead orcs, which he acquired when he first appeared at the dungeon, and the Undead Goblin Chief to eradicate the Blue Shaman Orcs.
While the Blue Shaman Orcs were busy dealing with undead blue orc shamans, the undead orc and goblin chief charged from the side.
Since they couldn't divert their attention to both sides, they were ruthlessly cut down and crushed by the great strikes and hammers.
After this battle, Aldrich's army increased significantly.
Aldrich continued to gather these undead for hours, increasing their number to 1,000.
Thankfully, each group attacked in hundreds, so Aldrich easily gathered 1,000 blue orc skeletons and 200 Undead Blue Orc Shamans.
Afterward, he moved to the inner wall. This wall wasn't made of stone but metal. The gigantic metallic wall looked sturdy.
However, the door was wooden, greatly contrasting with the metal. He opened it and entered.
Stone huts were built on the sides. A huge wooden hut was in the middle, so huge that a thousand people could fit in easily.
As Aldrich stepped in, the door of the hut opened.
Blue orcs emerged from the right, normal orcs from the left, and from the middle, a giant of 8m in height, wearing a black robe filled with various patterns, stepped out.
Its face was hidden, only pure black demonic eyes were visible. The patterns on the robe looked ominous. It emitted a negative aura that even normal people could feel, let alone Aldrich, who was at the peak of E rank.
"This feels so nice." The negative aura felt so good to him. He didn't feel anything bad.
Fifty blue orc shamans, fifty orc shamans, 200 blue orcs, and 300 orcs were ready to fight.
Likewise, Aldrich's 1000 undead blue orcs and 200 blue orc shamans appeared on the battlefield.
Both sides looked at each other. Killing intent permeated the atmosphere.
Aldrich didn't focus on the blue orcs and shamans but his gaze fixed on the boss orc.
He drew a blade from his hand. The blade was really expensive as it was D rank. Its name was [Master Killer's Dagger], and it had the effect of penetrating the defense of any being lower than C rank.
"I should deal with that," Aldrich said as he took the buff of the blue orc shaman.
His height didn't increase, but his muscles expanded significantly. He felt a strong energy surging within him.
The energy was so potent, it surged through all his organs. He felt so strong that he transcended the realm of E rank, and even D rank.
"Even undead orcs didn't gain this much strength. Why do I feel so powerful?"
He didn't ponder much and charged at the boss orc.
The boss orc looked at Aldrich with an indifferent expression. It seemed Aldrich wasn't his match at all. Just a puny insect.
"You know, there were many beings who had that gaze, but they are all working under me now," Aldrich smiled as he swung the dagger.
"I may not be a great fighter, but I doubt you are too."
The orc took out a wooden staff. The staff was huge, and magical power surged within it.
Without making any noise, the orc struck the ground with the bottom of his staff twice.
Dark magical bullets materialized and shot towards Aldrich.
Swish!
Aldrich rotated his body and dodged the bullets easily. "Your magic bullets are so slow. Did the turtle teach you that spell?" Aldrich mocked the orc. The orc didn't understand the language, but it didn't like the tone.
A great magical circle was drawn on the ground. The circle turned dark, and mist appeared. The aura was of death.
"Dead?" Negative energy emitted from the magic circle and turned into mist. For any ordinary human, it would be devastating. Not even Supers could handle this.
The mist contained the aura of death; any living being that touched it would have their life energy deteriorate. It was similar to poison for anyone.
But…
"Great!" Aldrich's body never felt this much energy. "Dead! Hahaha! You fool really thought someone who could control undead would be harmed by the aura of death." Aldrich laughed.
Sniff!
He heavily breathed in the mist. Aldrich moved.
Swoosh!
His speed was superb. In a matter of seconds, he covered 25m of distance.
The boss orc's eyes widened as its body quivered. Dark, huge fireballs shot down, as well as magical bullets.
Various spells were cast, but Aldrich avoided them with great ease.
Sss!
The dagger cut through the air as it reached the orc. The orc hit the ground and a magical barrier appeared.
"You think this puny barrier could save you? Dream on." He struck the barrier two times.
Criii!
The barrier cracked. The boss orc trembled as it tried to create another barrier.
Boom!
The barrier shattered, and Aldrich kicked the boss orc. The orc flew and fell to the ground.
Its staff fell. The orc hurriedly tried to retrieve the staff, but Aldrich stepped on its arms.
"Now, you will work under me." Aldrich stabbed the dagger into the back of its head. The robe it wore tore apart easily, and green blood gushed out.
It disintegrated into bits of light, along with the staff. But, cores didn't drop. Instead, a magic book fell this time.
"Skill book!" Aldrich's eyes gleamed. "Finally, my luck seems to be shining." This was the first time he got a skill book.
He turned back and looked at his undead who were performing admirably. Due to their superior numbers, they annihilated the orcs.
"Today was a great harvest." Aldrich stretched his arms as he looked at the skill book.
[Aura of Dead: Create a mist that contains the aura of death. Any living being that comes in contact with this mist would suffer greatly. Life would be absorbed, speed will decrease, defense, and strength would decrease by 20%]
Seeing its description, Aldrich couldn't be happier. He now had another skill to boost his strength.
"I can't wait to try this. I want to see its effect on my undead." He exited the dungeon.
It was already night, so he didn't go in for another round. He returned to the hotel.
As he walked by, the receptionist called him.
"Sir, someone wants to meet you." The girl's voice quivered as she spoke.
"Who?" Aldrich tilted his head. He didn't have any friends, family, or relatives. Who would want to meet him?
"Please, go and meet him." She pointed to the meeting room.
Aldrich entered the meeting room. As he entered, rude words assaulted his ears.
"You son of a bi*ch! You made me wait forever!"
A man in his thirties was sitting on the sofa. A beautiful girl was in his lap. His hands were on her vulnerable areas. The girl's face showed disgust rather than pleasure.
She was probably being forced.
"You…" Aldrich's eyes widened. His fist shook, and the frown on his face was visible to everyone.
He took a deep breath, his fingers dug into his palm, blood flowing out, and pain surged through his body.
The one sitting on the sofa was the famous, one and only C-ranker of this city, Arthur Nobelman.
