Alex looked at the other side of the Orc and his lips curled upwards and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"It that seems his preparation has finished."
Alex noticed something rushing at him and instinctively jumped to the side and dodged the blow.
A huge mace slammed behind him as the Orc roared and threw the mace and then picked up the fallen goblins and rocks and started to throw them at Alex.
The Orc searched on the ground and threw anything that came into his hand towards Alex.Alex swivelled around the ground as he saw the Orc picking up the things and throwing them at him.
The punny and hateful human had pissed him entirely by avoiding all his attack.
The frenzied Orc sprang into the last desperate attempt and roared in anger, his fist slammed to the ground.
BOOM!
A loud cracking sound was heard and a fissure formed which extended towards Alex but before it could reach him, he jumped in the air and appeared near Orc, he slashed his sword but the Orc opened his clenched fist and held the sword.
Greenish blood flowed down from his clenched fist as he held the shard sword and pulled it towards him lifting Alex into the mid-air.
"Oops!" Alex muttered but there was no sign of fear or panic in his eyes.The Orc raised his other empty fist and wanted to smash down Alex into meat paste but it became confused on hearing Alex's sudden shout.
"Do it Aeon."
As soon as Alex's words fell, a sharp blinding light flashed behind the Orc and Aeon appeared with his sword shining brightly.
"Moron, you are going to pay with your life for underestimating and neglecting me," Aeon shouted and slashed his sword.
While Alex was busy playing with the Orc.
Aeon used the technique taught by his father and poured all his mana onto his sword and covered it with layers after layers of mana making his blade more sharper and fiercer than ever.
Alex kicked the wrist of the Orc who was shocked for a moment and let his sword free from its grip and swung his body upwards, he arrived at Orc's head and slashed at him with all his strength.
Following the slashes of Aeon and Alex, a sharp greyish light flickered and passed over the Orc's neck and a huge gale of wind spread across the ground like a shockwave and everything descended into silence.
Both Alex and Aeon and after slashing landed on the ground followed by the Orc's huge head which still had a ferocious expression with eyes wide opened slides on from the body and fell on the ground with a small thud and follower by this, the huge and heavy body of the Orc fall on the ground with a large thud.
[You have defeated a half-step master rank Orc. You have got 150 experience points.]
[Less cause he didn't defeat it on his own]
Aeon panting heavily slurped down on the ground. He had used all his mana and was quite weak now.
After defeating the Orc, Alec looked around and noticed that Ben and his squads hadn't arrived till now.
"Are they in trouble or did the Orcs attack him?" Alex muttered as he thought about the possibility.
"Aeon, I think we have to get back quickly. We don't know if we will meet another monster like him." Alex said as he scanned the huge three-metre Orc corpse and squatting down started to examine it.
Alex frowned as he noticed some strange marks on his body and as he observed there were piercing marks on it as if something stung it and to his surprise, the marks hadn't disappeared.
"Max, take the corpse of the Orc to the fortress," Alex spoke and took a few rangers and decided to survey the area.
.....
A horde of goblins skimmed through the forest and ran in a disorderly manner as they saw a mud wall before them.
They licked their lips and ran with ogling eyes and with their tongue shedding drops of saliva which fell on the ground.
As soon as the goblin squad stepped out of the forest, they found a village much to their luck.
They were about to step into the outer periphery of the village when one of the goblins that were running suddenly recoiled back and fell back with his body pulsating and he emitted a squirming sound.
The other goblin halted their steps as an arrow had pierced its head.
Following this ,many arrows rained on them like a storm of arrows blew them.
"Charge!" Alex shouted with his dry mouth which had been thirsting for some liquid.
His order echoed across the place and following it, the company of people ran towards the goblin holding the sword and a shield.
BANG!BANG!BANG!
Loud sounds of metal clashing started to be heard along with a shrill cry and scream which shook the entire place.
Alex saw a huge goblin coming out of the forest and running towards it.
Alex stomped the ground and by channelling the strength onto his legs, he propelled his body forward which shot like a cannon towards the hobgoblins.
The hobgoblin didn't bait its eye on Alex as it didn't feel any threat from him and just gave a simple swing to crush the human but its mistake of underestimating the enemy cost it quite dearly which it would never forget in his life alas only if he stayed alive.
Followed by its swing, a huge hand flew past it and blood-splattered and a small thud was heard.
The hobgoblin stopped on its track and turned its back to see its arm flying backwards and falling to the ground.
And before it could scream in horror, a bright light flickered and his eyesight blinded.
Alex shook his sword which was covered in blood and walked back towards the village where 40 people were hiding in a few cottages.
"We got rid of them."
"Please follow us back. The situation is quite dire now. You can return after things clear up." Alex spoke as he squinted his eyes at the group of people who finally agreed after much discussion.
Alex sighed in relief as finally after 6 bloody hours he could go back.
