As the orcs charged, Kevin quickly brought his sword into attack mode and parried the first attack, then threw the orc back, barely blocking a club coming straight for his face. After knocking the second orc to the ground, he faced the third orc but was unable to prevent his arm from being injured.

At the same time as Kevin, Robert and Selena were fighting side by side. Robert swings his damaged mallet in the air and smashes into the attacking orcs. Selena was also watching him from behind and was holding the orc's club with her golden staff.

Although he was a little dizzy like Robert and Kevin and was not aware of the happenings, his body moved automatically for survival and benefited from the experience of fighting with the guardian knight of their family.

However, even though Selena kept her composure somewhat, she was shocked to see Kevin's blood splattered in front of her. While her eyes were wide, she broke away from Robert and ran towards Kevin.

"Kevin!"

Noticing Selena's hasty movement, Robert turned his gaze and shouted, "No Selena! Don't go!"

The moment he finished speaking, he was attacked by another orc. As he swung the sledgehammer to push the monster back, a spear pierced the back of his armor before the sledgehammer returned to its original position.

With a sudden and excruciating pain, Robert looked down and saw a spear bleeding from its cleft. Before he could sneeze blood, he pushed back the orc behind him that caused this incident with the bit of strength he had in his arm. Then he fell to the ground, leaning on his sledgehammer and looking at Selena.

Selena seemed to have taken the wound before him. He was sitting on top of Kevin, bleeding from his severed right hand. Kevin fell to the ground after his arm was wounded, and Orc seized the opportunity and plunged a grate-like blade into his stomach. Kevin's sword was covered in blood like his torn clothes.

Robert could clearly see the tears rolling down Selena's bloody face. His eyes watered little by little; The girl whom he loved from the bottom of his heart and who had given up on him was growing up in front of his eyes.

As he put his hand on his bleeding wound, he suddenly saw an orc running towards Selena and Kevin. He gathered all his strength from all over his body and uttered it: "S-Selen" but before he finished shouting, a sharp object cut his neck.

When the head was severed from the body, the last images that reflected in his eyes was the scene of the Orc spear sinking into Selena's chest.

As blood spurted from Robert's headless body, the orc pressed his spear further into Selena's chest and kicked her body backwards as Selena's screams of pain echoed through the hall.

Selena's painful scream gradually turned into a moan accompanied by gasping and vomiting blood from her mouth. His eyeballs were red from the pain like a deep wound. Now his bright gold and white clothes were wet and red with blood.

As hard as it was, he reached his hand towards Kevin's hand and took it. His body was shaking from the intensity of infinite pain. His golden staff, with which he had many memories, was now being trampled under the dirty feet of orcs. Blood was constantly flowing from his body and every moment brought him closer to the vortex of death.

Selena looked at Kevin with a sweet smile and with the last strength she had in her body, she spat and breathed: "H-I'm glad... k-who's next to you... dying-" but before she could finish her sentence The same spear that had split his chest went into his throat and cut it.

As the ugly-faced orc pulled out his spear, blood spurted from Selena's torn throat, and her snoring stopped forever.

Now the lifeless and butchered bodies of the three adventurers were left on the ground and their warm blood mixed with the cold soil of the hall. The corpses of headless Robert, armless Kevin, and slit-throated Selena were no longer host to any souls, instead lying in their own blood for eternity.

Relieved that there was no more danger, the orcs looked at the creature that had been standing in the darkness since the beginning. The face of someone whose face is covered by darkness gradually appeared through the darkness.

His size was clearly larger than the rest of the orcs, the horns on his head were visible like a royal crown, and his movements were full of power, awe and precision. It could be recognized without a doubt that he is the leader of these orcs.

The great orc came forward with his heavy and trembling steps and looked at the corpses; A deep and detailed look. But with a quick glance, he realized that he has not found what he is looking for. He suddenly looked at the other orcs with anger and caused everyone to freeze in place. Then he shouted and asked them in Orc language to find another human.

The orcs hurriedly moved and searched; Behind the pillars, around the platform, the altar, the entrance, they searched everywhere but found nothing. None of them, not even the Great Orc, could see what was happening on the platform and through the magical fence.
