Chapter 149: Kill

Once Charles reached the entrance, he concealed himself in the wall's shadow and then looked at the opposite side of the lake.

A total of seven red-skinned Orcs in metal armors stood on the opposite shore of the Lava Lake and seemed to be in the middle of building a tent.

The Orcs appeared to be around 3 to 4 meters tall, with large bodies and pig-like faces. They also held different types of weapons like broadswords, axes, and spears in their hands.

Because of the long-distance, Charles found it hard to gather more information about them.

'Hmm, this should be a scout team.' He stared at them for a moment, caught the hovering red bracelet, and wore it in his hand.

'It's time to earn some Exp.' He muttered inwardly and touched his face.

The next instant, his face changed into a little older one. Then, his skin color started to change and soon turned into a reddish color!

In a second, he changed himself into a Red Human of the Fire Elemental Plane!

After that, he went back to the cave and took the green leaf from the cave wall.

Then, he once again walked out of the cave, cast the Red Wings spell on himself, and flapped the reddish wings forcefully.

In a second, his figure shot up towards the sky and soon moved towards the Orcs at a fast speed!

At that moment, the Red Orcs were in the middle of discussing their search mission. Three Orcs were muscular and tall, while another three were smaller and appeared fatter.

Then, the last one was smaller than the rest of the Orcs and appeared only around 2.5 meters tall.

But none of the Orcs dared to look into this one's eyes!

His skin was a little bit darker, and he had strange horns on his forehead.

With a single glance, anyone could tell that this one was a variant one!

The short Orc took out a scroll from his leather bag and opened it to read.

After a few glances, his brows furrowed and formed into a knot.

"Something is wrong about this place. The map clearly shows that there is a Drake settlement near this lake. Be careful during the watch.

" He spoke in a Scar language, a language unique to the Twilight Land.

"Aye Boss,

" All the Orcs responded in unison.

At that moment, one of the fat Orcs noticed that a strange crimson bird was coming from the other side of the lake and soon froze.

"Boss, we got company.

" He instantly unsheathed his broadsword from his back and pointed it towards another side of the lake.

Other Orcs also unsheathed their weapons and soon squinted their eyes.

"That is not a bird... He is a Red human!

" A cold look appeared on the variant Orc's face as he took a small dagger from his waist and hurled it towards the Red human.

With a swoosh noise, the metal dagger tore through the air at full force and was just one foot away from Charles's chest!

Upon noticing the dagger's arrival, Charles's lips curled upward and formed into a smile.

Simultaneously, a crimson robe enveloped him from head to toe and blocked the sharp dagger!

A clanging sound echoed in the air as he flapped his wings twice and soon descended on the shore.

Meanwhile, the variant Orc grabbed the long sword from his waist and sprinted towards Charles!

'Damn it, he is a Red shaman! If we give time for him to cast spells, we will be forced into a passive position. I need to get closer and kill him before he could finish chanting his next spell.' Such a thought ran through his head.

In a moment, he made a swift decision and moved even faster towards the Red Human.

Meanwhile, Charles glanced at the enemy Orc and noticed that the opposite party was a Rank-3 Mystic.

Although he didn't have enough time to see the opponent's status, he noticed that the other party was a warrior-related class.

In five seconds, the variant Orc already crossed more than 50 meters and shortened the distance between him and Charles!

While the Orc was running, the long sword in his hand started to emit a reddish light!

'It's a sword aura.' A look of astonishment appeared on Charles's face.

'But how is he using a sword aura skill?' He got confused for a second.

Shaking his head, he took a step back, raised his hand, and pointed his finger at the variant Orc.

A moment later, a crimson ray came out from his forefinger and moved towards the Orc quickly.

But as the ray appeared in front of the enemy, the variant Orc moved his aura-coated sword and directly split the ray into two!

It was really an astonishing feat for a variant Orc to split a fast ray of fire in a mere second!

In truth, he had long prepared for this attack spell!

"Too bad, you are not my match.

" Charles suddenly spoke in a Scar tongue and cast Fire Seed spell on the variant Orc.

A moment later, the variant Orc suddenly forgot how to run and stumbled forward pathetically.

Most of the Orcs were dumb ones. Even though this was a variant one, this short Orc didn't have any defensive measures to resist his mind fire spell at all!

Before he could realize what had happened, he was already laid under Charles's feet!

Meanwhile, Charles casually raised his right leg, placed it on Orc's back, and smiled.

The next moment, the variant Orc's vision turned dark!

On the other hand, the other fat and muscular Orcs got stupefied. They couldn't understand why their boss suddenly lost his footing and fell pathetically!

No one did expect that their team leader would be defeated in mere seconds!

Before they could think of escaping, tens of crimson rays appeared in front of them.

All those Orcs tried their best to evade, but none of his attacks got missed the targets.

Each of Charles's spell attacks did some damage to those Orcs.

Wounds and burn marks appeared all on the Orcs' bodies.

But there was no happiness on Charles's face at all.

'Their bodies are resistant to fire, so the damage done by my Incinerate spell had diminished significantly.' He scanned them for a second and instantly learned about the reason.

But he didn't stop bombarding them with his incinerate spell, though.

Although the Orcs got panicked at first, they also regained their senses as they found out that his attack spell was not that scary and dashed towards him like berserker beasts.

Charles even saw some fire layers appeared around their red skins and further reduced the damage done by his Incinerate spell!

"Oh, it seems you guys are not some weaklings, not bad.

" He commented casually and took the long sword from the unconscious variant Orc's hand.

With a single look, he knew that it was a rare sword with a sword aura skill!

'So, that's why he managed to use a sword skill earlier, huh.' An understanding expression appeared on his face.

Then, he placed the sword tip on the variant Orc's nape.

A vicious smile bloomed on his red face.

At that moment, the other Orcs slowed down their footsteps and looked at each other in anxiety and worry.

But they didn't halt their footsteps, though. Instead, they exchanged their ideas through their eyes and started walking towards Charles slowly.

If you took a closer look at them, you would find that they were using some secret signal method to communicate with each other!

Unfortunately, they met a sly human this time.

Before they could make a plan, Charles gripped the sword tighter as he activated the sword skill, raised it over his head, and slashed at the unconscious Orc's nape.

As the sword flew towards the Orc's nape, a reddish glow started to form on the edges.

The next second, a flesh-tearing sound echoed on the shore, followed by a blood splashing noise.

Scarlet blood gushed out from the decapitated head and body and painted the hardened shore.

Meanwhile, Orc's head rolled on the concrete-like shore before falling into the lava lake and then started to boil!

Target Eliminated! 4,506 Exp obtained!

A smile crept on Charles's face.

"Boss!

"

"I will kill you!

"

Noticing his creepy smile, all of the Orcs got furious and ran towards him while roaring.

They were surely enraged!

Within seconds, they already arrived near Charles and were about to raise their weapons to attack.

At that moment, they felt that their grip loosened all of a sudden.

Before they could understand the situation, they found out that their weapons had disappeared mysteriously!

With flabbergasted looks on their faces, all of them subconsciously tried their best to stop their footsteps.

Some showed confusion, while others showed fear.

But Charles didn't give them a single moment to think, though.

At the exact moment, some invisible power appeared out of nowhere and froze their bodies all of a sudden.

It was the Holem's Crown's body freezing skill!

Shock and terror appeared on the Orcs' faces!

They finally felt fear towards the mysterious unknown power!

To their horror, Charles suddenly started to smile, giving a creepy chill to their spine.

A moment later, he disappeared from their visions.

It was the False Blink spell!

The next instant, he appeared behind the farthest fat Orc, slashed the long sword at the Orc's neck, and decapitated it instantly.

Target Eliminated! 2,300 Exp obtained!
