Chapter 22

Kill the Hero Chapter 22

TL: Uncle Choi

Editor: Bait

Orc colony .

The place where hundreds of orcs lived was unbelievably desolate .

High rising trees were broken, cut, or crushed . Holes and bones of both animals and monsters were littered all over the place .

But most of all, what made the area feel so desolate was the terrifying killing intent of hundreds of orcs .

Keueo!

Keuaa!

Cries of orcs, which saturated the colony with a dense killing intent, made it so that no other organism would want to settle in their vicinity .

At the center of a group of orcs, there was a lifeless corpse of an orc .

The eyes of orcs looking at the decapitated body were filled with murderous, bloody intent .

Of course, they weren’t giving off such a bloody pressure due to their bonds and feelings of companionship with the dead orc .

Keuaa!

What made the orcs react so fiercely was the threat materialized before their eyes .

It was the fact that they also could become a lump of meat that stimulated their killing intent .

Among this group of orcs, the one that gave off the strongest bloodthirsty intent was their leader, the Orc Champion .

Finding the boss was not difficult .

Orc Champions were usually two heads taller than the average orc, and wore a black tooth necklace . Unless the person in question was blind, anyone would be able to distinguish between the two .

Even a blind man could distinguish the Orc Champion from the rest of the colony .

Krrr!

The Orc Champion’s killing intent was so great that even other orcs would not dare to approach it .

The Orc Champion expressed his anger .

His scream tore through the entire orc colony, staggering all the orcs in the vicinity .

Keuaaa!

All the orcs started coming out of the colony with their weapons in perfect order .

It wasn’t because they were ordered to .

Keuu…

Everyone hurriedly left the colony because they didn’t want to die like a dog by being near the angered Orc Champion .

The Orc Champion also joined the scene .

Kr!

As soon as the Orc Champion let out a horrible grunt at a nearby soldier, the subordinate immediately handed over the sword he had on him .

It was a scimitar that befit the size of an Orc Champion .

Keuhhh!

The Orc Champion left the camp right after receiving the sword .

He intended to relieve his anger with blood .

Three subordinate orcs attended the Orc Champion side to side as they advanced .

At the same time, a man went into action .

Orc Champion .

A monster among monsters .

He was terrifying to the extent that even orcs, who were of the same race, were afraid to stand near him .

Enemies appeared in front of this very monster whose roar would scare off any beast .

Tteolgeuleog! Tteolgeuleog!

It was none other than the skeleton soldiers .

The skeleton soldiers, which were summoned by using the bodies of orcs as sacrifices, carried blunt swords and shields that appeared to have been used before they died .

That was enough explanation .

Rather, there was no time for further explanation .

Keuaaa!

It was because the battle began as soon as the skeleton soldiers appeared .

It was only natural .

There were battles throughout the forest, and his people were dying .

Under such circumstances, there was no reason to negotiate with something that was blocking its way .

Although it was in his instincts to leave everything in his sights half-dead, the skeleton soldiers in front of them were made out of orcs .

Orcs, however, would have never been labeled as monsters if they were capable making such a rational judgment when facing foes made out of their own kind .

With the Orc Champion standing in front of them, skeleton soldiers also prepared for battle .

The appearance of skeleton soldiers was unusual .

The skeleton soldiers were waiting for the Orc Champion to come .

It is a necessary quality for a hunting dog to fearlessly pounce at a prey like a wolf, but only the crazy ones would blindly rush at a tiger .

It was a form of proof that the skeleton soldiers’ owner was an excellent hunting dog .

Keuaaa!

In other words, the Orc Champion was a terrifying, terrifying monster .

It’s size wasn’t much different from a troll, but it was a horrifying monster that one would not dare to compare with a troll!

To be honest, the outcome of the battle was already set .

Kwajig!

As evidence, the Orc Champion quickly finished a skeleton soldier in an instant with its first blow .

It was due to the inability of the skeleton soldier to avoid such a swift and powerful blow . Furthermore, the Orc Champion’s sword was not an ordinary sword .

The sword did not suit its large body, it was a scimitar that was more appropriate for a human to use . It wasn’t something one could handle by simply blocking .

In fact, although the scimitar the skeleton soldier was carrying was crude, even the shield was cut down along with the skeleton soldier’s body .

The skeleton soldiers knew they were clearly outmatched .

They proceeded further while taking advantage of that fact .

They, who even used their owner as a bait, and were willing to stall for time and create a gap by sacrificing one of their colleagues .

Afterwards, they all slashed their swords during the opening .

The moment one of the skeleton soldiers was hit, the remaining four skeleton soldiers left scars on the Orc Champion’s body at the same time .

Keuaaa!

The Orc Champion vented his anger over the result .

Of course, the wounds were not deep .

It was as if someone was trying to leave a mark on a tree to leave directions .

The wounds were visible, but such scratches had little to no effect on a big tree .

Nevertheless, the skeleton soldiers did not give up .

Afterwards, they spread out and surrounded the Orc Champion . They went into formation and prepared for the next attack .

They intended to sacrifice one of them once again to create an opening and attack with the remaining three .

Keuaaaaa!

The Orcs Champion vented his anger after realizing their intentions .

He was angry at the skeleton soldiers who dared to reveal their teeth even after seeing his might .

It was an overwhelming, intense rage .

Krrrr!

Even the orcs who were with him were so terrified that they could not help but step back from the battlefield .

However, such a roar did not work on the skeleton soldiers .

Naturally, a second skirmish took place .

It was the same as before .

The Orc Champion charged toward a skeleton soldier, narrowing the distance between the two and swung his weapon . Then the remaining three skeleton soldiers attempted to attack the Orc Champion .

After that, the Orc Champion went berserk .

He stopped wasting time venting his anger and immediately went after the next skeleton soldier .

He was literally on a rampage .

The skeleton soldiers were barely managing to stand against the Orc Champion .

The remaining three skeletons quickly launched their own attacks after avoiding the Orc Champion’s attacks .

A minute or so passed .

The Orc Champion’s body was covered in countless cuts .

And the skeleton soldiers’ bodies were crushed .

Only one skeleton soldier remained .

Of course, the skeleton soldier had no intention of escaping .

It still showed a will to fight with its fierce gaze .

Keuaa!

The Orcs Champion also used everything at his disposal to ensure that the last skeleton soldier was finished .

Kwajig!

Soon the Orcs Champion’s scimitar hit the last remaining skeleton .

Kwag!

At the same time, a hand axe flew out of nowhere and struck the Orc Champion’s neck .

Tuk!

The string that held together the Orc Champion’s necklace was cut .

Sururu!

Naturally, the necklace on the Orc Champion’s neck fell to the floor .

Kuk!

But at that moment, rather than worrying about the fallen necklace, the Orc Champion touched his throat in agony .

[Orc Champion is Under the Effect of Blood Poisoning]

It was due to the poison .

From the Orc Champion’s perspective, he could only think about taking out the hand axe from his throat as soon as possible .

That’s how the gap was formed .

‘As expected . ’

Kim Woo-jin found a chance to snatch the necklace from the Orc Champion!

Kim Woo-jin started to dash during the opening .

Orc Champion .

The fact that he was a monster among monsters was verifiable by the difficulty given for the A+ rank dungeon .

Furthermore, a dungeon capacity of 150 people indicated that 150 people were needed to kill the Orc Champion .

It was nigh near impossible to catch such a monster alone .

Unless, Kim Woo-jin suddenly had a 100 point increase in his constitution .

That was the reason .

That was why Kim Woo-jin decided to go for the Orc Lord’s Fang, not the Orc Champion .

And he prepared to catch his prey .

He waited for the disarray to come .

The 149 players searched up and down by hunting the orcs . Eventually, the Orc Champion would come out in response .

He waited and prepared .

Waiting for the moment the orcs would change their behavior and reveal the location of the Orc Champion as a result .

Waiting for the moment when the Orc Lord’s Fang would fall on the floor, when the hand axe severed the necklace as well as cutting the Orc Champion’s throat .

When all that was done, Kim Woo-jin did not hesitate .

Kim Woo-jin appeared at the right moment . He sprinted with all his might towards the Orc Champion .

Keua!

With Kim Woo-jin’s appearance, the Orc Champion prepared for battle right away .

The scimitar repeatedly smashed the skeleton soldiers then swung downward toward Kim Woo-jin’s head .

Kim Woo-jin avoided the attack easily as if he had expected it .

He brushed past the Orc Champion as he avoided the attack .

At the same time, Kim Woo-jin grabbed a black fang about the same size as his forearm when it fell on the floor .

[Orc Lord’s Fang Has Been Obtained] [Achievement ‘Owner of the Orc Lord’s Fang’ Has Been Achieved]

An exciting announcement was heard .

[Orc Champion’s Health is Weakened] [Orc Champion’s Attack Power is Weakened] [Orc Champion’s Defense is Weakened]

Pleasant announcements continued .

‘Okay . ’

Immediately, Kim Woo-jin left the battlefield without looking back .

It was the end of the hunt .

Keuaa!

Urrrrgg!

The battlefield was filled with cries of people and orcs, a pungent aroma of blood, and soaring flames .

Somewhere in this battlefield was a man revelling over his beautiful hunt .

[Orc Lord’s Fang]

Item Rank: Legendary Must be Lv 1 or higher to use Item Description: It’s an Orc Lord’s fang . It’s filled with an Orc Lord’s power . When possessed, Constitution +30 When possessed, Attack Power increases by 5% When possessed, Physical Defense increases by 5% When attacking an orc, Damage increases by 10%

Orc Lord’s fang .

‘Its options are even better than I thought . ’

The options on this item surpassed what Kim Woo-jin had imagined .

Among them, the power to allow the user to gain all the effects of the item just by possessing it went beyond his expectations .

Meaning… this indicated that the effects would be applied even if he kept the item in his inventory . This meant that once the ownership was decided, there was virtually no way to take it away by force .

Moreover, the effects of the Orc Lord’s Fang wasn’t over yet .

[Owner of the Orc Lord’s Fang]

Achievement Rank: Legendary Achievement Effect: All stats +20

The total amount of stats that one would be granted in addition to the stats from the achievement by having this item exceeded common sense .

[Kim Woo-jin]

Level: 14 Halo: The Emissary of the Underworld Stats: Constitution (44+77)/Strength (2+45)/Mana (3+49) Achievement: 7 Unallocated Point: 0

Kim Woo-jin gained more stats in his constitution from Orc Lord’s Fang alone than all the points he invested in from his level-ups .

The explosive spec-up that suddenly occurred was obvious, even to his eyes .

‘It was worth it to enter this dungeon at the cost of gaining attention from Park Yong-wan . ’

He felt power coursing through his body .

Through this, Kim Woo-jin was now sure .

This is enough to kill the Orc Champion .

Now he had the ability to hunt the Orc Champion .

‘If I only had a decent weapon that could slash through his body . ’
