Primordial Soul's Rebirth

35  CHAPTER 35 – All-Master is Cheating.

Alex continued looking in the direction of the hut where he could see the Orc chief. After all, how could Alex's view be obstructed by mere dust?

At first, he was a little surprised when he saw the Orc chief as she held a large Black Greatsword, unlike normal Orcs.

And yes, the Orc chief was a female and from the looks of it, she seemed really angry. The same expression could be seen on the male orcs that were standing with her. What some of you might be thinking is true, it is a reverse harem. Well, what would you expect from a strength-supreme race? The strongest rules over others.

Alex had already seen one of the Orcs that had been observing his fight with the Mid-bosses. The way it was standing at the door of the chief's hut was likely informing the chief about the events taking place.

"HUMAN!!! YOU DIE!!!" The Orc chief shouted while lifting her right hand along with the Greatsword, pointing it at Alex. She was lifting that 1.5m tall sword as if it were a normal wooden sword.

The shout from the Orc chief brought the three raiders out of their thoughts, though now they had surprised looks on their faces. It was in no way normal for an A-rank monster to be able to speak, so, their surprise was not uncalled for.

"She has an Incomplete Mana core," Alex spoke making Alice and Ann grow more shocked. However, if someone looked closely then they would be able to see excitement hidden in their eyes.

They were excited because an A-rank monster can never develop a Mana core, be it partial or complete. This only meant a single thing – A special case, which could also be seen as a thing called 'Juicy reward'. Anything special or unique within the gates has always proved to be generously rewarding.

If it were an S-rank monster then they would not be excited, instead, they would have had a grim expression. After all, neither Alice nor Ann had the power to defeat a special monster of S-rank (If we don't take Alex into consideration), however, it was different right now. They were in an A-rank gate and Alice alone could be able to defeat the Orc chief, not to mention Alex. That was also the reason they didn't move when they saw Alex running towards the chief, instead, they ran towards the mobs in the surroundings.

"H-hey, Alice," Ann suddenly spoke in an unsure voice as she saw Alex's smile which somehow matched the smile he showed when they told him about the duel with Frank.

Alice turned to her friend-cum-secretary with a confused look when she heard her voice.

"He removed his restrictions…..., right?" Alice's steps came to a halt when she heard Ann's words. She snapped her head towards Alex only to see his smile as he was standing in front of the Orc chief. "No..." Ann only heard a low despairing voice of Alice before she saw her friend running towards Alex.

Realizing the reason Ann also ran towards Alex's direction when she saw the Orc chief's Greatsword descending on Alex's simple sword.

Their worries were not unfounded, they knew Alex was strong, undoubtedly so. But still, right now he had his physical stats limited to A-rank while trying to confront a special case Boss-rank monster. They thought that maybe Alex didn't know how abnormal the special cases were, or how hard they were to deal with.

They even thought that maybe Alex became overconfident just by defeating the Mid-bosses. However, right now, all they wanted was to save him as they could scold him or reprimand him all they wanted later.

In the rush moment, they forgot that Alex even had the ability to look at the statistics of anyone, or else they would have realized that maybe they were still underestimating Alex.

Or maybe it just never occurred to them that someone could do something like that, ever.

*BOOM*

However, their notion was going to be shattered by Alex as the next second they stopped in their tracks abruptly. They looked at each other, their expressions mirroring each other which was clear disbelief.

Alex stopped the attack of the Orc chief with his simple sword making everyone surprised. Even the Orc chief was surprised, in a fit of anger she had used all of her strength in that attack.

So, of course, she was going to be surprised. After all, who would know her strength better than herself?

What she didn't know, however, was that there was someone who knew about her strength better than her.

Alex had already seen the stats of the Orc chief and he was surprised but excited at the same time since he knew he could finally test how well All-master worked.

The Orc chief's stats were like this: - Strength: S; Agility: A+; Stamina: A+; Wisdom: A; Energy/Mana: A-; Luck: B; Charm: C+;

One would think that it's not much higher than Alex's but do take the S-rank strength into consideration. The difference between S and A is like the difference between heaven and earth, the same could be said for every rank up after S rank. Just because Alex is casually skipping through the ranks doesn't mean that they were something easy to do. If they were, then there would be an abundance of S, SS, SSS, and even EX-rank Raiders in the world. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

How could Alex stop the attack then? The answer is not simple this time as many things are needed to be taken into consideration.

From the momentum of the body, the degree at which the weapon should be bent, how much strength he should put in the grip to how much of the impact he should transfer to the ground. All-master is a skill that helps him with all the calculations and shows him the best way to salvage a situation in a fight. It is not considered a cheat-skill without any reason.

To top it off, this is just what it is capable of without any use of mana, aura, intent, or any kind of law.

Alex just smiled with elation ignoring the shocked or flabbergasted looks he was getting because he saw the results and they were better than he had expected.

It's not that he didn't expect the skill to be able to defend the attack of the Orc chief, he knew that this skill would at least be able to let him do that.

However, now it seemed like this skill could do much better than he thought as he felt that he could take an attack of S+ rank strength with his stats limited to A+ rank. He felt that he might be able to survive an SS rank attack as well, but he had no way of confirming that. Still, he knew his limits, so, he knew that defending an attack of SS rank was out of the question, but parrying or deflecting could be done without that much of a problem.

"Human, Strong. But Next, You Die." Everyone was again snapped back to reality by a gruff female voice, making everyone turn towards the Orc chief. The Orc chief had pulled back her sword and placed it on her shoulder while her demeanor had turned calm.

She knew that her enemy this time was strong and a strong enemy means danger. She knew that she needed to have full focus or she might lose her life, her instincts told her that.

Wild instincts are rarely ever wrong, so, she believed in her instincts and calmed herself, regaining her focus. The Orcs who got a little intimidated when they saw their chief's attack being blocked also calmed down when they saw their chief.

Calm, collected, and a strong worrier, these were the characteristics of their chief, so, they knew that the fight was just starting. Their chief didn't even use her powers, the human just blocked a simple wave of her sword.

As for Alice and Ann, they had also calmed down. They also thought that they should do something about their habit of thinking that the impossible even exists for Alex. In the end, they just sighed helplessly while nodding to each other. They knew that rather than focusing on Alex's situation, they should take care of the things on their plate.

However, they were still going to give Alex peace of mind for making them worry without a reason. "Go. Kill." The Orc chief spoke to her subordinates and they nodded their heads but before they could move, they heard a relaxed voice in front of them.

"And who told you that you could move?"
