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
Thanks to Gary’s teachings, Sesi and Leah began to fight the orcs much better than before.Their improvement was not just due to his efforts but also due to their own efforts. Their desire to win and to get stronger was what made them learn faster.In a matter of minutes, they took care of over fifty orcs, albeit, with Gary helping them hold the orcs back when their numbers got a little too big to bear for just the three of his teammates.Gary made sure that not just his teammates but also the spiders leveled up. Wendevorr crossed level 160, and Gary wanted to keep making the spider general stronger as Wendevorr could guard Leah when he wasn’t around.Rowan, Sesi, and Leah all crossed level 140, but Rowan was still slightly ahead of them. And he began to brag about how he managed to beat the orcs and stay ahead of the girls even though he didn’t receive any special help from Gary.After they dealt with the low-level arcs, they were supposed to fight the orc captain. However, Gary advi
Sesi and Rowan were fighting more orcs in the distance. They were competing with each other to see who could beat more orcs. Thanks to their aura manipulation improving, they were able to fight on par with the regular orcs. Nevertheless, fighting against the orcs who were full of stamina was not easy. Sesi and Rowan’s staminas were tested very much.“I told them to avoid making noises, and they ignored me,” Gary said. “Look what they’re doing now. They’re causing more commotion. If they keep expending their energy like this, how are they going to fight against the orc captain?”“I will fight him myself,” Leah said.Gary was surprised to hear that. “It’s a little too dangerous to fight the captain alone.”Leah pursed her lips. “It’s fine. I don’t remember my past like you do. I don’t know if this is a curse or a blessing, but I think I can risk myself much easier than you or the others can. I mean, you have your girlfriend and many other things to worry about, but I have none of those
