My hands were numb.

With one clash, I was able to figure out the difference between him and my skills.

It was only once.

At that moment, the flesh on my palms burst and blood flowed, and my wrists throbbed as if the bones had cracked.

‘It has improved a lot.’

I felt the difference in strength, but it didn’t feel bad.

If it had been before, I would not have been able to withstand this attack.

To begin with, he wasn’t an ordinary orc.

A necklace made of oracle bones attached to the ribcage like armor and teeth of beasts.

He’s an Orc Warrior. A general of Orcs who uses an ax rather than a glaive.

It wasn’t that important now.

It goes without saying that Orc Warriors are stronger than normal Orcs.

However, the guy in front of me showed strength so strong that it was difficult to compare to those Orc Warriors.

It was different from the size.

Existing Orc Warriors are only a little over 2m tall.

However, the Orc Warrior in front was a tremendous physique that was close to 3m.

In addition, as if some drug had been taken, tendons were rising all over her body and her face was flushed red.

It was by no means an ordinary situation.

It is a trial period in the first place. Monsters descend from the mountains, but the examiners manage the test site in advance.

Only enough monsters were left for the cadets to hunt.

Although the cadets could deal with the Orcs, it was difficult to deal with the Orc Warriors.

‘It’s like a mutant.’

It could be that he came down late because of the cadets talking loudly.

Whatever it was, it was clear that it was dangerous.

profit.

The orc backed away and looked back at me and his axe.

He let out a long snort and stomped his feet.

He was embarrassed that a weak-looking human blocked his attack.

Seeing such an Orc Warrior, I laughed involuntarily.

An Orc Warrior with this level of strength seemed to be able to satisfy me to some extent.

A dangerous but unlikely opponent.

Until now, I wanted someone like that.

Plus, I don’t have to worry about power control, so I’m extremely satisfied.

aaa!

The Orc Warrior swung an axe.

The power contained in the ax was so strong that the background around it could be seen distorted.

He set the sword at an angle and let the ax spill to the side.

Kagagakak!

Sparks flew from the ax passing by like scratching a sword.

Like water flowing from top to bottom, I sent his ax to the side.

profit?

I saw the face of a confused man.

Kwaaang!

I stepped on an ax that had fallen to the ground. The Orc Warrior knelt before pulling the ax out of the ground, kicked off the ground, and jumped up.

I swung my sword around the defenseless guy’s neck.

Chew!

Blood spattered.

Watching the blood gushing out like a fountain, he hurriedly backed away.

Whoo!

The ax that had approached before I knew it passed by as if it grazed my forehead.

It was shallow.

The leather was so thick that the sword dug into it.

Kreuk, Kreaaa!

The orc let out a roar.

His muscles twitched with every breath he took.

Boom, kwaaang!

He rushed in and swung his ax wildly.

Things around him were horribly broken by him.

There was a roar and fragments flew in all directions.

Kang, kakakang!

The sound of shrapnel bouncing came from behind.

I realized that I shouldn’t waste too much time on that sound.

If it’s just Selina and Mahol, there’s nothing to worry about, but Raina is with her. Things could escalate if one of the debris landed on her.

He dodged the ax and took a deep breath.

“Whoa… .”

There was no need to play the main character.

This could have been solved without acting.

And after I almost got eaten by the main character, I was reluctant to play the main character.

bang!

I stopped dodging and grabbed the axe.

The shock created by the ax flowed through his entire body.

Bang, bang, bang!

He slashed the ax of the Orc Warrior who was wielding it carelessly and burrowed inside.

I thrust my sword into the man’s chest.

Fu-wook!

Shallow this time too.

The leather is thick and thick, but too tough.

No matter how much you manage your sword, there is a limit to just keeping the blade sharp.

If it was a knight, it would have been dealt with in an instant using mana.

If a knight uses mana, this kind of tough leather can be cut at once.

But I don’t know how to use mana.

I had to deal with him without using mana.

Wow!

He swung the ax even more excitedly, as if he was angry at me for avoiding and blocking him.

He dodged the ax and swung his sword.

Seok, seokkeok.

My sword cut through the Orc Warrior’s skin.

In an instant, the entire body of the Orc Warrior was stained with blood.

In comparison, my body was only slightly dusty, but there were no major injuries.

Crook, Crook.

The Orc Warrior looked a little tired.

As he swung the axe, he stumbled in the middle as if he had shed a lot of blood.

Even so, he clung to me until the end, determined to kill me somehow.

‘This isn’t enough.’

I was worried while swinging the sword.

If I go on like this, it was clear that I would win.

But it was inefficient. The time given to me was only about two hours.

During that time, you have to hunt more beasts or monsters besides Orcs.

Only then can I get a high score, but if I drag out my time here, my plans may slightly go awry.

But that didn’t mean there was no way.

What do you do if you don’t get hit and dodge?

I can’t make a proper attack.

Obviously, the Orc Warrior had many gaps.

Even now, my throat is cut, and my ears are cut off.

However, the reason I didn’t die was that my sword wasn’t as sharp as leather.

‘I wish I could use mana.’

yes. If you use only mana, mana, you can finish it in one go.

So sorry. It would be nice if I could feel mana properly… .

Whoops!

As soon as I thought about it, something changed.

[‘The Unknown God’ looks at your sword.]

I felt a wave of strange energy from the sword.

A stream of blue air gathered in the sword.

I simply thought, ‘It would have been nice to use mana’.

But as soon as he thought about it, mana gathered in the sword.

weird.

Mana, which I had never handled properly, moved like my limbs.

‘It’s the first time since then… .’

at the banquet.

When I played the main character against an Orc Warrior, I used mana once.

I can’t remember exactly how I used it.

At that time, I was almost swallowed by the thought of killing anything rather than using mana.

After that, I didn’t feel the importance of mana that much.

So I never thought I’d be able to use mana the way I wanted.

“hahahaha… .”

But this was more thrilling than I could have imagined.

Basic physical abilities improved just by using mana.

Even the cutting power of the sword improved noticeably.

‘Good?’

It wasn’t a bad feeling. Rather good.

I could see mana floating in the air, and I could see the movement of the Orc Warriors.

As time passed slowly, the Orc Warrior’s ax approached slowly.

Huung.

I pulled my upper body back to avoid the ax and swung my sword at the same time.

Chow ah!

The Orc Warrior’s left hand was severed and fell to the ground, and blood poured out.

Seeing the leather that was so tough cut at once made me feel strange.

Aww!

The Orc Warrior screams in pain.

I stabbed my sword straight at that guy.

Woowook.

The leather that was so tough accepted the sword without much resistance, as if stabbing soft flesh.

Chwii… .

Power was drained from the body of the Orc Warrior.

heart is pierced

He pushed back the body of the Orc Warrior and pulled out his sword.

Fuhuaaak!

Blood splattered on his face. Like a puppet with a thread cut off, the body of the Orc Warrior collapsed.

‘It’s so easy.’

Using mana made it so much easier.

Shaking off the blood on his sword, he looked back at the party.

“Well… ?”

Strange men were seen next to the party with blank expressions.

The men in black were staring at me with their mouths wide open.

***

Tadadak.

There was a group of people heading for the mountains.

Masked people dressed in black.

They waited for a signal at the entrance of the mountain range, avoiding the eyes of the examiners scattered through the forest.

Boom, puffer puffer!

Among the black flares rising up in the sky, I could see flares mixed with a bit of red.

‘Mission failed.’

It was a signal sent by members of the organization who were tasked with monitoring the Orc Warriors.

‘It moves.’

The leader at the forefront did not respond greatly to the failure of the mission and gave a hand signal to his subordinates.

Everyone quietly nodded and followed him.

Krrr.

Acquire!

At the beginning of the mountain range, various monsters were crowded.

From goblins to orcs.

There were also those who fought among themselves.

Sniff, sniff!

Play, a monster that resembles a dog among monsters, came closer to them with its nose wide open.

The leader was not taken aback and took out the dried manure of the monster from his pocket and covered their body odor.

Monsters are more sensitive to smells than humans think.

You couldn’t get away from them just by hiding.

This is because monsters can smell the unique smell of humans.

Even so, the reason they were able to pass without colliding with the monsters was because they used incense to erase body odor.

Unless you are a monster that is overly sensitive to smells like wolves, you will not be able to find them.

‘stop.’

They entered the center of the mountain range in an instant and stopped at the leader’s hand signal.

At some point, the monsters began to disappear.

And now, there was not a single monster in the vicinity.

Because they have their natural enemies here.

Mountain range predators.

A place where you never enter unless you are a suicidal person.

that’s where they got in.

Pong!

The leader carefully approached the predator, uncorking the bottle in his hand.

It’s so huge that it’s not strange to say it’s a small garden.

I felt a sense of intimidation that would make me tired just by looking at it.

Even so, I couldn’t see a sign of great tension in them.

As soon as the liquid from the bottle came into contact with air, it quickly turned into a gas.

The gas found its way into the nose and mouth of the breathing predator.

The masked people watched the predator quietly.

The predator’s head was dyed red.

The medicine was taken properly. Nodding his head at it, he took out a small communication tool from his pocket.

And turned on the communication port. Then, a man with a bloated body, the sympathizer, appeared.

The vice-principal looked around through the communication port and asked the masked person.

-What about work?

“The first plan failed. We are currently working on our second plan.”

-Are you doing it right?

At those words, the masked man turned his communication sphere to illuminate the predator.

-great. The medicine worked fine.

The sympathizer looked at the predator’s head and nodded.

red hair.

It was a symptom that told me that the drug had been taken.

The masked man moved his communication tool again and turned his back on the predator.

“It won’t fail this time.”

– It should be. It’s even weirder when he fails to move.

The vice principal snorted. Failing over a predator over there was funnier than having your bread stolen by a street dog.

– But it’s better to be sure, so check properly… What is that?

“… ?”

-Look behind you!

“What… ?”

Quack.

The head of the leader who turned his head exploded at the urgent cry of the vice principal.

The communication port rolled on the ground without looking.

“… !”

Other masked people were taken aback by the sudden death of their leader.

He hurriedly took out his weapon and looked back at the predator that had attacked the leader.

Wow!

The predator that arose let out a roar.

Their faces, hidden behind the mask, turned pale.

“My, disciple ah!”

The predator’s foot breaks the communication tool and the masked people run away for their lives.

A predator attacked them from behind.

Wow, quadruped.

A creepy sound echoed through the mountains, and even the screams died away.

A predator with a mouth full of blood looked over the mountain range.

go back-

the forest-

A predator responded to the voices of humans.

The red-eyed predator started running in the direction of the sound.
