Chapter 95 – Orcs.
Chapter 95 – Orcs.
My perception helped me a lot on the 10th floor. I didn't encounter many monsters. The ones I ran into the most were Imps and some monsters called Bad Bats.
Dealing with them was challenging. Not only were they fast and could fly, but they also launched sound waves attacks. I had a hard time focusing during the fights.
Luckily, they liked to use their sharp fangs to attack, which meant they had to get close. Since they didn't have much defense, it was easy to kill them.
And about the Imps... I preferred using magic attacks.
They weren't very fast, so they couldn't easily dodge my magic, especially my fire magic, which created powerful explosions. And it's really fun to use fire magic in this place.
Every time an explosion went off, the shockwave pushed the fog away, making everything more visible and allowing me to move forward.
However, even with the fog clearing and my perception, I couldn't reach the 11th floor easily. When I finally found the path to the 11th floor, I started wishing for a map.
A map would be great to navigate this dungeon.
"The fog is a bit thicker here but very similar to the 10th floor. If I remember correctly, the fog gets much denser on the 12th floor."
Since it was so similar, orienting myself on the 11th floor was easy. The monsters were also the same.
"No, wait. I think an Infant Dragon can appear on this floor. It's probably the strongest monster here. It could be dangerous to run into one."
I began walking much more cautiously.
And then I killed some Imps and Bad Bats but eventually found a stronger monster.
Orcs. I ran into two of them.
I don't know if this is common, but the two Orcs were walking together. They seemed to have been doing this for a long time. One walked in front while the other covered his rear.
It was funny to see Orcs acting like humans.
'I thought they were completely stupid, but that doesn't seem true.'
Still, it's strange to see giant monsters with pig heads. Plus, they were only wearing leather around their waists. I don't feel like seeing an Orc's dick.
"They're really tall."
I won't be able to attack their heads directly. The fly skill would be really useful.
But since my strength and speed are so high, I can reach their heads, just like I did with some of the Bad Bats.
I jumped up and hit them in the air. Of course, I preferred using magic, but jumping and striking them in midair was fun, especially when I cut them in half and killed them instantly while airborne.
It would be a cool scene if it were in an anime.
'Since they haven't noticed me yet, let's go for it.'
The fog began to thicken, and I lost sight of the Orcs, though I could still sense their presence.
I tightened my grip on my dagger and kicked off the ground, slicing through the fog at high speed. I reached one of the Orcs' backs in an instant. It felt like everything was in slow motion. The Orc turned to face me in a split second.
Its gaze landed on me, and it looked pretty angry.
It raised its club and roared, but I jumped before the Orc could swing it, driving my dagger into its chin. My dagger had a curved blade. I could see tip of my dagger came out in its forehead.
The Orc made a strange sound before exploding into dark particles and disappearing. Its companion got angry. It began swinging its wooden club, trying to hit me. But it moved so slowly that it was easy to dodge all its attacks. Every time it hit the ground, the earth cracked and trembled.
It was fun to play with the Orc before killing it.
I activated the Camouflage skill and backed off, blending into the fog.
"Hey, over here," I said.
The Orc turned and attacked, but I was no longer there. I started messing with it just for fun. However, when I noticed more monsters approaching, I finished it.
Since the Orc was so slow, I could get close without trouble, even without using the speed skill.
I leaped and made two moves.
One cut the Orc's wooden club in half, and the other sliced its head clean—two swift and perfect strikes. But since I wasn't entirely sure it would work, I activated the [Perfect Defense] ability just in case I got hit.
A direct hit from an Orc could be problematic.
"Two Orcs down. But now I better be careful. No more playing around with them."
More monsters started to appear, probably drawn by the sounds the Orcs made.
The 11th floor was extremely exhausting despite my high stamina. The good thing is that I gained many experience points since Imps travel in groups and are the most common monsters on these floors.
I've earned some points to distribute, but I'm not going to do so just yet. I'll save them for emergencies.
Unless some extremely strong adventurers show up to kill me, I don't think even an Infant Dragon could defeat me.
"Damn, but I'm a little tired after running for so long and fighting so many monsters. It could be problematic if I run into an Infant Dragon now."
But there's no way to stop and rest here. I can't stay focused the whole time, and monsters could attack me without noticing. Having limited visibility is a real issue.
"It would be fun to sit down and write in a place like this."
Well, I didn't bring my notebook and pen anyway.
So I decided to walk to recover, stopping my running.
I also tried to avoid monsters as much as possible.
After walking for several long minutes, I was finally getting close to the next floor.
"Damn, I didn't bring much food or water. I wanted that inventory…"
Then I heard some noises behind me—heavy footsteps.
"I let my guard down!!"
