To be honest, I really like how this bandana feels on my head, and I probably look great too. I couldn't help but swirl and hold a bunny ear finger pose like Lifeline, except she does it more naturally while I was very rigid.
I cringed embarrassedly as I saw the bloodied nose orc look at me with deep seethed anger and a small hint of fear. The other orc looked at me wearily and they both decided to slowly separate and take me on from two different sides.
They were shocked by my strength, well in actuality only my punches and kicks are enhanced, but they didn't know that. And although I found myself liking the bandana, I would have loved to get another gun even if it is another mozambique.
[Dammit, I need them to be together so I can get them both with the thermite grenade] Because of this, I tactically retreated by sprinting with my full speed away from the battlefield.
While retreating, I was still keeping an eye out for that damn mage. This mage can change the battlefield at any moment by using magic. I don't know how magic works in this world but causing things to grow smaller, especially the orcs in the plain where the grass grows tall enough for them to hide if they are miniaturized.
We could lose sight of them while they are able to advance through the grass like ninjas while Leon and I are in out in the open. There is another problem, the mage could have additional spells in his kit that could very much catch us off in surprise.
Still, as I briefly gaze into the distance, I can see that Leon's momentum is still going strong.
Defeat all Enemies! (3/12)
But it seems like the orcs had figured out his pattern and decided to slow down their approach and move more cautiously. Within the orcs camp, they had no magical items what-so-ever, and thank gosh for that, otherwise, we would have been overpowered by them.
The two orcs tailing me kept going at my pace in order to maintain a safe distance but also at a distance where they wouldn't lose me.
[How annoying, maybe I should just kill one now with the grenade and fight the other?]
As I was just about to summon the grenade, I heard a swooping sound from above.

'Caw!'
[A bird? But whats that riding on top of the bird?]
It was a black raven, a green goblin-like creature was riding on the back of it.
[The mage! And he made himself smaller so that he could mount that raven! Dammit, I got to deal with three enemies now...]
The Yeet Step strategy was still viable and due to my reflexes, I to duck down in time to avoid major damage, but my back was still scratched by the raven's claws which left a huge bleeding cut.

[This shit is too painful!] I moaned as a hunched over to kneel onto the ground.
The crow and the mage then left the scene satisfied with what they had done and decided to circle over Leon. To be honest, I was happy that the fight returned back to the 1v2 scenario but I was also worried for Leon. I heard he was someone from a village and was not an adventurer, so how would he be able to fight all those enemies by himself?
Based on his muscles, perhaps he trained his body rather than his levels, which is why he could be so strong for someone at a low level. With the gun, he should be able to hold on for a while, but I need to go there and assist him. I too can fight thanks to my reflexes and the hidden passive.
Defeat all Enemies! (4/12)
Leon got another kill. Every notification of defeating an orc brings a sense of peace to my mind. Normally hearing about death would upset me, but since it is linked to my very own survival, I would gladly have it shoved in my face eight more times.
I shouldn't be distracted by Leon now, I need to swiftly defeat these orcs then go and assist him, after all, I only have two enemies to face while he has many.
I suddenly stopped running and faced the orcs. They also stopped and growled at me menacingly. In that brief moment, I decided to use the syringe and fight.

My wound closed up and I no longer felt any pain at all. Thankfully, I didn't waste a single digit of health due to the bleeding effect as I used it before 60 seconds had passed.
The two orcs realised what had happened as they lost the upper edge that their leader had given them and in a fit of rage, the two orcs charged at me.
I decided to stand my ground and wait for them to arrive, I stood in a casually fighting pose, but I knew nothing about how to fight, I didn't even know any basic martial arts or boxing moves. I'm just a video game streamer.
[I should be fine as long as I punch or kick defensively if I do that when they attack me, I should be able to at least repel them with the hidden buff]
One of the orcs charged at me with a punch, and in return, I punched back.
'Boooom!'
My body flew 2 meters backwards but in return, the orc flew 3 meters backwards.
[These orcs have massive hitboxes! I can win this fight!] I smirked victoriously while the two orcs looked at me in disbelief.
