Gary grabbed both the lizardmen by their necks and jumped from the watchtower. He tossed them down. The spiders swiftly laid webs and caught the lizardmen without making any noise.Gary didn’t need a web to cushion himself because he had the ability of spider-hopping. So, he didn’t even need to use aura to land without making any noise.“That was so cool,” Sesi commented.“If it’s you, then you can kill these lizards by yourself,” Rowan said. “But even with the three of us together, we won’t be able to kill them.”“Don’t talk like that, Rowan,” Gary patted his shoulder. “Have some confidence in yourself. Two women are also in our team, but they’re not speaking like you, are they?”Rowan pursed his lips and took a deep breath. “Yeah, you’re right.”Gary then told Wendevorr to do his job.Wendevorr took the two lizardmen over into the distant bushes and then tortured them until they secreted glazing liquid onto their tails. This wouldn’t have been possible if Gary hadn’t paralyzed them.
For the next couple of hours, Rowan and others used the same tactic to kill more and more lizardmen.When the shine on one of the tails ran out, they used the second tail, the backup tail which they had carefully preserved.Thanks to this, they were able to kill more of them.Leah’s new skill Shadowless Sword was no joke. She was able to pierce the opponent and cause them to die without even making them bleed. The more she used the skill, the more she understood its capabilities.Sesi also unlocked a skill called Fire Strand Hanger. With this skill, she was able to send a rope of fire and choke the opponent to death. She only needed to use one strand of hair to do this. This improved her confidence because the strength of her hair was also increasing, which was exactly what she wanted for the time being.Rowan, on the other hand, also earned a skill called Stench Bearer. It was a Low-Grade skill. Rowan naturally wasn’t satisfied with it because his Jackal’s Recovery was a Proper Grade
Gary went to check on his teammates. Since Sesi was the closest to him, he went to her first.Sesi was on a roll, mercilessly killing the lizardmen. They couldn’t even touch her because her hair was not only perfect at defending, she was also able to counterattack by grabbing the spears and breaking them.She poked the lizardmen’s eyeballs with her hair. She didn’t even ask for the spiders’ help. She fought on her own and was doing a fine job.“It looks like I didn’t have to worry about her,” Gary thought and then went to check on Leah next.To his surprise, she was using the spiders to distract the lizardmen, and then she dealt them critical blows with her sword just as an assassin or an experienced warrior would.Gary very much loved what Leah was doing. Because she used the spiders that were available to her, she was able to kill more lizardmen than Sesi had.Wendevorr was still guarding her as ordered, so Gary didn’t bother them and went to check on Rowan next.To his bafflement,
A few minutes later.Rowan opened his eyes slowly, but he quickly sat up and looked around. The lizardwoman was lying on the ground, with a hole in her chest.Gary was standing next to her.Rowan was a bit depressed to see that. “So you killed her…” Was he saved again by Gary?“No, you killed her,” Gary said.“I did?” Rowan was surprised to hear that.“Yeah, she tricked you and got behind you,” Gary explained him. “But then you sacrificed your left arm and then saw her off with a punch to her heart.”“I did that?” Rowan was only remembering it now after Gary had explained him. He then looked at his left arm, which was hanging loosely as it had many broken bones.“Luckily, your arm wasn’t cut off,” Gary added. “Or, I’m not sure if it can be reattached or not.”“I have a recovery skill, so I think my arm will heal by itself,” Rowan said. “It might take an hour though since this injury looks nasty.”“Did you level up ?” Gary asked him.“Let me check,” Rowan quickly checked his stats. “Ye
The orc territory was unlike any other territory.This was not only the biggest territory among the underlings of Yves, but it was also where the most number of humans and animals were being held hostage at.Though fighting the orcs could get risky as it would mean Gary would be alerting Yves of his presence, but Gary wanted to save those that were captured by the orcs.The Orc Knight was leveled 299. And he was looking bored right now.“Have you gathered enough humans, yet?” He asked his underlings.“Sir Bror, we got 299. We only need one more,” they replied.“One more, and then I can take them all to Lord Yves,” Orc Knight Bror laughed a little. “Good. quickly find another one before the night falls. We’ll be shifting the goods tonight and surprise Lord Yves first thing in the morning.”“Yes, sir.” All the underlings quickly dispersed.“There’s no one that can fight me and make me level up,” Bror thought. “I’ve been stuck in 290s for far too long. If I give these sacrifices to Lord
Wanting to prove himself, Rowan fearlessly rushed into an orc captain’s territory. His bravery actually surprised the spiders and even Sesi.“He’s going to kill himself because of his stupid bravery,” Sesi said. “Anyway, let’s see how he fares against those orcs.”“No, their average level itself is much higher than our levels,” Leah said. “He will struggle against just one, much less against multiple of them.”“You’re right, but he ran toward his death on his own accord,” Sesi blurted.“Yeah, but we can’t just let him die,” Leah said and also charged forth into the orcs’ territory.Sesi looked at Gary. “Your girlfriend is headstrong. It will be hard for you to govern her after you get married.”“Let’s not talk about the distant future right now,” Gary replied. “Let’s focus on what’s ahead of us.”“You’re right,” Sesi took a breath and then also rushed into their territory.Gary looked at the spiders, and they were still looking very hesitant.“You guys… stay at a distance. I’ll deeply
“Behemoth Blow!” The orc captain’s speed greatly surprised Gary. He didn’t have enough time to jump away, so he ducked from the attack.The club flew over Gary in a diagonal path, and all the items on the ground behind Gary were blown away into the distance. And even the walls of the building across the street cracked just from the wind pressure.How much destruction would it have caused had it actually contacted something?Gary immediately realized that he underestimated the orc captain.The orc captain quickly changed his hand grip so that he was now able to thrust the club downward with both hands.“Krgh,” Gary was forced to roll to the side.The club struck the ground and formed a mini-crater.Gary quickly got up and whipped his leg at the orc captain and struck his face, sending him flying into the tent, causing the women inside to freak out. The tent collapsed, and the women went running in all directions while covering their private parts.“Sorry. I didn’t mean to do it,” Gary
After Gary put the orc captain to sleep, he went around, beating the other orcs in that region to the point they couldn’t move.And he left them to his spider minions, who gladly killed the orcs and leveled up pretty fast because of it.Gary also leveled up because he was also part of the reason for the kill. And so he received his share of experience points as well.Nevertheless, it took about two dozen orc deaths for him to advance one more level.While Gary was at it, he also kept an eye on his teammates. To his surprise, Rowan was doing better than Leah and Sesi.After he got the club, he became a different person. Not only was he moving confidently, but he was also able to use his skills more efficiently.He still looked a little clumsy, but his battle instinct seemed to have improved after he started holding a club.“Once they defeat the orc captain, he can take the orc’s club,” Gary thought. “That should help improve his confidence even more. I know that building confidence fro
