Chapter 23.2: Floating Veil (4)
…What’s all this?
Leaving the dungeon with light steps, I looked at the scene unfolding in front of me with absurd eyes.
Many orcs covering the gorge.
I didn’t think it had been half an hour since I entered the dungeon, but in the meantime, shit was going on outside.
Is that… an Orc King?
As I looked at the howling giant orc with its arm cut off by Asher’s sword blade, I immediately understood the situation.
【Lv. 72]
Its level was 72.
It was a very high level, even for a king.
To encounter a really rare Orc King like this, would all this mystery quest always going to be eventful until the end?
However, since Asher was at a level that could deal with it with no problems, I didn’t worry too much.
“Take care of it.”
“Yes.”
At my words, Asher immediately approached the Orc King.
Somehow, it felt like she was trying to make up for not being able to deal with the statue guardian in the dungeon.
I turned my gaze to see Rodin, who was pinned against the wall to the side.
It looked like he was barely breathing as he was crying and bleeding all over his body.
“Leader!”
Members who had been in a state of fascination belatedly ran in that direction.
I took Rodin out of the wall and laid him on the floor.
Arma hurriedly reached out her hand to his battered body. A green light enveloped his body.
She seemed to pour out healing magic, but Rodin’s focus was only slowly dissolving, like someone who was about to die.
“Oh, no…! No!”
I watched her crying and casting her spell, then I pulled something out of my arms.
I know that in order to survive in this world; I have to live selfishly showing no favors.
However, I had no intention of living while ignoring the people dying in front of me.
“Get out of the way.”
I took out the Scarlet Potion and checked Rodin’s condition.
The hollow in his chest meant that this was a fatal wound. I poured the potion on it.
After a while, his wounds slowly regenerated, and I heard bones and muscles slowly reconstructing.
Soon Rodin’s complexion eased, and his breathing returned to normal.
The other members were staring blankly at the sight, then they hurriedly bowed to me.
“Thank you, young master! Really, thank you…!”
“Okay, check his status further.”
Having finished my work, I turned my gaze to the side.
On one side, the battle between Asher and the Orc King was in full swing.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Every time Asher and the Orc King clashed, the surrounding ground turned upside down and all they swept away the trees. The wind pressure pushed up to where I was, which was quite far away.
Seeing Asher fight properly for the first time made me realize that she, too, was a monster.
Bellevagorah, the Guardian who is well over level 80, and the people I met so far were all monsters of a different calibre, so it’s just that I hadn’t been able to properly see Asher’s skill.
Asher’s sword raged like a storm, and the Orc King could not fight back and only poured out blood.
In fact, if Asher really gave her full power, it would be dead by now.
The nine level difference they had was huge.
But now, since she didn’t use her racial trait, she was out of power.
The battle seemed to take longer than expected, but I thought it would be over soon, so I folded my arms and stared at the fight.
It was at one point.
Big!
The Orc King let out a roaring roar as if preparing for the final clash, then suddenly turned and charged towards us
That also took aback Asher, so she came up behind it a beat late, but it was already close to them.
In the blink of an eye, I saw the guy who came right in front of me and immediately used a mystery.
Floating veil.
An invisible, transparent veil spread between me and the Orc King.
Its fist stopped in front of me, and the ground next to me exploded with the impact.
“…”
Its attack, which would have shattered even a huge rock, did not shock me in the slightest.
I still stood with my arms crossed, staring at the bewildered Orc King with nonchalant eyes
That was its last moment.
Chow-ah!
Asher’s sword followed in an instant and decapitated the Orc King.
