Chapter 141: 2769
It was so easy to fight together with homies.
It wasn't just because their party was well-balanced. It was because Alex didn't have to worry about their lives. He understood just how different it was from fighting with Deathwill Sisters.
"Alex! Josh taunted too many orcs because of you!" Tomo Homie spoke through the party's chat, "Help us!"
As the priest, Tomo Homie used Josh as a personal bodyguard. That was because the dungeon's first floor looked like a vast grassland. They could see trees far away on the horizon, but those were forests where the ordinary wolves dwelled, food for the orc monsters.
They were in an open area, so Tomo Homie didn't have any environmental advantage.
It wasn't that bad since Josh had to taunt the enemies; distracting their attention for a while was enough with how good his party was.
But when there were too many enemies, Josh would play a critical role in alleviating the party's burden.
However, Alex and others were so strong and fast that even the careful Josh got swayed by their mood. He taunted so many monsters that things became quite problematic.
Alex replied, "No problem."
Tomo Homie, "You are so reassuring, brother."
Coming in a clutch, Alex tore through the defenseless orcs from behind. He made them all drop onto their knees, then his [Shattering Thrust] went through their heads. With so much strength behind his stats, Alex exposed their bones in just one move.
He repeated the thrust, killing orcs en masse.
"You too, guys," Alex grinned after killing the monsters.
His friends chuckled in response. Tomo Homie filled Alex's stats back to full. He then increased his agility and stamina regeneration.
Alex left them alone to enjoy those buffs.
'Tomo does a good job coordinating our movements. He keeps an eye on everything, so I can fully focus on just killing monsters,' Alex whispered inwardly.
If Alex had too much burden on his back, Tomo would send Josh's taunt at the orcs around him. If Alex had wounded enemies but still couldn't finish them because of their numbers, Tomo would call Pedro's magic to assist him.
He did that for everyone while using his own supportive skills!
Because of that, Alex could fully succumb to his talent. He became like a killing machine whose goal was to kill as many as possible. If that was not possible, he would wound them severely before leaving them to others.
He didn't have to worry about their lives. At worst, they would return… With so much freedom on his hands, Alex grinned and continued enjoying the fantasy world where his talents fruited the most.
The Swordsman Talent.
[You have unlocked a page from Elias Deathwill's Diary.]
Alex didn't notice that message as the system still valued his privacy. He would catch it later on.
Just one orc separated Alex and others from entering the second floor.
Alex was a lucky fellow to face the last orc. In one versus one battle, these two faced each other with many different emotions.
The handsome swordsman wore a broad smile. He looked perfectly fine, with just a few blood stains on his clothes and light wounds on his body. His clothes fluttered gently before the last battle.
On the other hand, the orc roared at him. The monster had just respawned, so he had never seen what had happened to his buddies. He appeared with his body and clothes intact, not knowing what awaited him.
He lifted his clenched hand, then threw it at Alex.
Alex smiled, dodging to the side, "You are too simple and too slow."
He hacked the orcs' neck with his sword, leaving a faint blood trail on his flesh. He couldn't go through his flesh easily, even though the monster had less level.
This gave hope to Alex for the higher floors with different types of orcs!
He chuckled and slashed again.
But this time, a much different scenario happened.
[You have cut through the orc's soul with Alexander Deathwill's Swordsmanship.]
[Your proficiency has been increased.]
[The Dungeon has recorded your achievement.]
The orc's body froze as if he couldn't believe what had happened. His cut soul hurt him more than ever, though. And with that wound, Alex easily froze his soul.
That was surprising, so Alex opened his system after killing the monster.
'A page from Elias Deathwill's diary? I will read it soon… Reward from the dungeon?' Alex skimmed through more system messages.
[The Dungeon's reward for your achievement.]
[Orc's Soul Fragment(Incomplete)(???)]
[The soul fragment is compatible with your legendary class and Deathwill Castle.]
'I shouldn't use it here, then,' Alex nodded.
After closing his system, Alex turned to his homies. They had finished the first quest in the dungeon in a little more than an hour.
Zhen grinned, "We will overcome it in an hour next time." He supported Alex as if thinking that he needed encouragement.
Alex's words didn't hurt anyone, so he didn't mind failing his challenge, "We were faster than all five-man parties. I'm sure of it."
"Yep!" Zhen nodded.
[You have successfully completed your first dungeon quest!]
[Do you want to go to the second floor now?]
Tomo Homie sputtered, thinking that Alex would accept the system message, "Let's rest now. We need a break to refresh our minds and bodies."
"Sure!" Josh replied with a bright smile.
The party made a camp where they had killed the most orcs. In that spot, no orc would respawn for some time. They also wouldn't approach them because of the blood's stench.
Since it was not their first time in the dungeon, the party effortlessly made a small camp here.
They even had a bonfire that helped them regenerate their stamina faster.
Tomo Homie took out a sausage, "Well then. As we prepare our food, let's see the kill count."
He opened the system, then clicked on their party group.
Here, Tomo Homie shared the party's dungeon quest information.
[Alexander Deathwill: 2769 Orcs killed.]
"Homie!" Tomo Homie shouted, "That's because of that absurd skill. How can you just kill them like that?"
Alex laughed, "Because of the level gap, I can execute them easier. It usually works at low health, but it is what it is."
"Legendary Class is too broken…" Pedro whispered, then rolled his eyes, "You will soon face your counter."
Zhen added, "So learn something to counter your counter! Hah!"
Alex nodded, "I planned to learn magic too, but I'm still indecisive… I don't know what kind of element would suit me the best."
