The orc troops marched out of the city like water. Accompanying their leaders and generals. The Orc King and Orc Lords. All wielding massive orc weaponry, befitting of their status. Two-handed axe, two-handed sword, scythe, cleaver, mace and a claw of some sort.
The Orc King is almost similar to an Orc Lord. The only difference is it is 1.5x larger and it wears this weird-looking crown on its head.
Some were unarmored, wearing loincloths, like before. Proudly showing their battle scars with the addition of human skull amulets and bone necklaces. While others wore armor that looked like it was picked up from the scrapyard and just glued together.
All look the same big, mean, green and butt assed ugly. The grunts, look far better than they do and that isn't even a compliment that I'd like to say!
The orc grunts gave way to them with equal distance.
"Father, Blake, Maria, Mooly, Godmother." [Angelica]
"Yeah?" [Steven/Blake]
"Yes?" [Maria/Mooly]
"Kyah?" [Kate]
"... We'll take them on." [Angelica]
"What?!"
~~~Mooly~~~
The other adventurers heard what sister said, they all gazed at her in shock.
"Let's go." [Angelica]
She walked leading the way drawing her sword. Me, Father, Kate, Blake and Maria followed her from behind. The adventurers, gave way as they see her unshaken walking steadily forward.
Sister is such a fearless person, I really admire her.
She raised her kris up to her chest and points it at the orcs then says "Let's get this over with quickly." along with a tenacious look.
~~~Angelica~~~
When I called out to them, the adventurers also stared. I walked up front to shake off their attention. Uwah... they're still staring... I ignored them and tried to imagine that I was walking alone in an empty street. Their stares are giving me fucking social anxiety.
Great, it worked! They gave way to us opening a path from the formation. We stopped at two hundred meters away from them. The Orc King and Orc Lords noticed us leave the formation, the orc king raised his hand and waved off the others not to interfere. The orcs then gave equal space for them of two hundred meters.
It was like a big arena. Warg riders went to our left and right flanks. Circling around, observing us. A 6 vs 13 huh... I raised my kris.
The Orc King and Orc Lords showed their disinterest. Some yawned, looked at the sky, cleaned their weapon with a cloth. These pieces of shits are totally ignoring us.
"Let's get this over with quickly." [Angelica]
I said that as I glared at them. I really wanted this to end as quickly as possible, despite us not doing much earlier, we are still mentally fatigued. I mean, how can you even stay in shape for too long if you're always thinking you could die here at any moment.
As I was in thought. Some warg rider made a quick dash towards me.
"Don't interfere while I'm thinking!!" [Angelica]
When it jumped for a bite. I ducked below it and slashed with my fire enchant down in the middle. Its half-lifeless body flew past me and fell.
"She slashed it in half with one strike?!"
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"Not only that, she even cut off its armor!"
The adventurers exclaimed. In my frustration, I unknowingly killed the warg and its rider with just a single blow. Seeing that I did that they stopped looking disinterested. I now have their attention. Finally! Orc sempai has noticed me!
I spread my arms and shrugged to taunt them, to add more to the insult, I also smirked. They began gritting their smelly yellow teeth.
"I'll be in the middle." [Angelica]
"Then I'll take the right side." [Blake]
"Father, can you take this out?" [Angelica]
I asked Steven as I pointed at the orc king.
"Dunno, I haven't fought with an orc king before." [Steven]
"Maria, Mooly please take care of the orc lords if they try to interfere." [Angelica]
"Yes." [Maria/Mooly]
"What about me?" [Kate]
"You'll be the bait." [Angelica]
"Eh... eh?!!" [Kate]
"Just kidding, please assist Maria and Mooly." [Angelica]
"Okay! [Kate]
Now, we're all set.
"Let's get em!" [Angelica]
"Yeah!!" [Steven/Blake/Maria/Mooly/Kate]
We all started walking at the same time, even the orcs. As we walked, the adventurers and orcs initiated their own battle behind us. I can hear battle cries, clashing metal and spells being cast. Even the ▪Barrage▪ spell is used again. Michelle is directly supporting them while evading arrows that come flying her way. To be honest I'm really worried about her flying...
We stopped at exactly 50 meters from one another. The King and Lords, seem to have the hots for me, maybe I shouldn't have taunted them...
Ready... set... go!!
I dashed for the orc king that was in the middle who has the huge two-handed sword, it has the same length and thickness of two greatswords merged into one. Blake caught up to me and was now at my side. Steven? I looked back, where is he?
"Your dad is fast." [Blake]
"Huh?" [Angelica]
When I inquired. Blake pointed with his finger at the front. Wow! Steven is like a car on nitro, by the time that I had looked, he was already engaging the orc king.
It moved its huge sword overhead and slashed downwards in a diagonal position. Steven, jumped back to evade it. When it struck the ground...
"How the hell?!" [Angelica]
"I'm not surprised, after knowing that your father is the personal knight of the princess. That's an easy thing for him to do." [Blake]
Steven, after evading... quickly ran up the two-handed sword. Like, literally running on it. I'll ask him to teach me his imba moves later.
As he ran, the orc king pulled out the sword and Steven used it as a trampoline. The orc king tried to cut him up mid-air, but he manages to evade each one of them and counters it with his own.
He makes quick jabs with his trident. As expected, even with the upgraded speed of the wind enchant, it still lacks cutting power, and the orc king's bulging muscles are a pain.
Steven ends his combo with a kick to the orc king's face. Aww... that looks painful... the orc king covers his face with his hand while he tried to blindly swipe at Steven.
"?! Father watch out!!" [Angelica]
When he landed, an orc lord tried to grab him. I shot ▪Bladestorm▪ at it. Five blades of wind hit its arm scattering droplets of blood. It did minimal damage just enough to make it flinch.
He jumped back to us, which covered quite a distance, did he use Dragoon Jump? {1}
The orc king that was kicked removed its hand. Its face was bleeding and its nose has sunk into its face. Oh, what damage an iron boot can do!
"This is a good invention." [Steven]
"Thanks, but it lacks in cutting power..." [Angelica]
"Still, it gave me access to new techniques." [Steven]
An orc lord went on the offensive and swung its mace sideways to hit all three of us.
"Hah!!" [Blake]
"Wow, nice Blake!" [Angelica]
He deflected the mace, by hitting the side with the tip of his jian. It landed near us and sent rocks and debris flying towards the orc king that Steven had kicked.
(Bam!)
Again, the face... Not the face!
"Where did you learn that?" [Steven]
"Master taught me." [Blake]
The orc king smacked the orc lord who had the mace and argued, they seem to be changing their strategy. While they were arguing, the other orc lords took their place and attacked.
"Hexa-Firebolt!!" [Maria]
One of the orc lords stopped in its tracks and fell, it had six ▪Firebolts▪ stuck on its torso. It became a nice pin cushion. Maria had one-shotted it with her Regular level magic, this is one of her multi-cast spells at work.
You may be asking, why is it a no-cast, despite being a Regular level spell. Well, it is because of the magic crystals that I gave her.
With her multi-cast coupled with the magic crystals, she becomes a formidable foe. A no-cast high-level spell is not something you can laugh at, even more so when it is multi-casted.
Kate moved towards the orc lords and popped in the back. By going over their shoulders.
"Hiyaah!" [Kate]
She did her signature, Heavy Draw in a full circle. It decapitated two that were near her. She did it so quickly, that the other orc lords had no time to react.
"Million Stab!!" [Mooly]
Mooly jabs her pike in the back of an orc lord that was facing Kate. She used the Million Stab that I taught her. The unlucky orc lord was turned into swiss cheese full of holes.
Wow! I thought that my wind enchant has low attack power, but since Mooly used thrusting and stabbing attacks it was effective. I wonder if it became her favorite skill? I'll teach her more video game moves in the future.
"Mooly, good job!" [Steven]
"Uh thank you, father!" [Mooly]
When Steven, praised her. Mooly's ears flapped up and down with joy.
