"Alright. You take fifty on the left; I'll take fifty on the right," Ryder told Shu, dividing the prey.

"Sure. Oh, this time, don't take my prey like last time," Shu replied jokingly as he raised his knife.

"Don't worry. I will only kill fifty this time," Ryder replied wryly.

He was about to step forward with Shu when he stopped.

"Oh, I have a better plan. Dividing can be confusing, so how about I go first? I'll take my end of the Orcs first, and then you can have a good and comfortable time battling them. Stay right here," he let out, stopping Shu.

Shu agreed and stepped back, letting Ryder take the lead.

Ryder smirked as he brought his Moon Scythe before he stepped forward, jumping in the middle of the Orcs.

"Sand Storm!" Ryder let out, using a skill that he had learned near the start.

As soon as he used the skill, sand started appearing around him, creating a whirlpool of sand that started spreading outwards.

Even though it was a low tier skill, when it was used by Ryder, it was enough to wipe multiple orcs that touched it at the same time.

The sand whirlpool kept spreading outwards, killing more and more beasts.

"Just what is his class? That Skill doesn't seem like something any of the class should specialize in? Does he have a special class?" Shu thought as he observed the skill of Ryder.

He didn't know that Ryder's Moon Scythe gave him the ability to absorb one of the skills of the ones it killed. Even though this ability rarely worked, it was really good when it did.

Ryder stopped his Sand Storm just when it was done killing the beasts that were near him.

Ryder counted the beasts that were alive and started smiling wryly. There were only ten Orcs left

[Exp +2500]

[Exp +2500]

[Exp +2500]

[Exp +2500]

Notification kept resounding in his head.

[Level Up]

"Ah, I killed ninety Orcs accidentally. I thought this much time of Sandstorm would only be enough to kill 40-50. I underestimated its strength and range," Ryder let out with an embarrassed look on his face.

He appeared beside Shu.

"Hahaha, it's fine. Ten should be enough for me. They are higher level than the ones downstairs anyway," Shu replied as he chuckled.

He stepped forward and joined the battle.

Ryder waited beside Shu.

" Your Highness did well. I like how you sneakily killed ninety percent of the enemies even when you were supposed to take half. You did it to finish the battle much faster, right?" Rale asked Ryder, misunderstanding his intentions.

"Ah, I have no comments," Ryder replied vaguely.

He didn't clear the misunderstanding that it was actually an accident.

Shu kept fighting the Orcs. As the number of Orcs was less this time, the Orcs were higher level. Thus, it took more time for him to finish the battle even though he had leveled up quite a few times on the lower floor.

After some time, Shu finished the battles. He killed the Orcs and walked back, tired.

"I got a few drops. It was a rare tooth of Orc," Shu told Ryder as he showed the gold teeth to him.

"Pretty rare indeed. These stupid orcs weren't dropping anything at all when I killed ninety of them. You got in just ten. That's what is luck," Ryder let out as he smiled.

"Anyway, have rest. Next, we should be facing the Orc King. There should be the ring of Lexini that we need as well," he continued.

Nodding his head, Shu started resting. He sat down on the ground.

Ryder was still fully rested. His stamina wasn't exhausted in the least as he only used one skill. His MP was so high at the moment that it didn't put even the least of burden on him.

"Oh, fu*k! How could I not remember it? I could've used the Diamond Tiger. If it killed the enemies here, it would have gained massive amounts of levels," Ryder suddenly cursed as the thought hit his head.

He couldn't help but regret about the missed opportunity.

"That's right. If you captured the enemies and let it kill them, it should have shared experience. Its growth would be too good," Shu let out, nodding his head.

Even he was surprised that he didn't think of it before.

"There is still an Orc King left. You can let it deal the finishing blow and grow," Shu suggested.

"If I do that, it would be less effective for you since the last one that deals the damage gets the most experience. The rest gets according to their contribution. It will get more than you, and if I join the battle as well, you'll barely get anything. You should be the last one to attack," Ryder replied, Shaking his head.

It was Shu's quest, and he shared it with Ryder. He even decided to give the Guild token to Ryder without being greedy. After all that, Ryder didn't wish to take the credits from Shu that could help him level up. This little amount of experience was nothing to Ryder. He could collect much more Exp by hunting high-level monsters alone.

"But-"

"No, but. I can let it grow later as well. I'm a High-Rank player. I'll have many more opportunities to let the Diamond Tiger grow and way easier," Ryder answered as he smiled.

"Alright. If you insist, you're the boss here," Shu replied as he smiled wryly.

After resting, the three of them left. The three of them opened the door that was at the other end of the chamber and stepped inside.

As they passed through the door, they saw a Giant Orc that was twice the size of the previous Orcs.

It had green skin and two red horns on its head. It also had three hands. Two of the hands were coming out of his right while one was coming from his left.

Each of his hands held a weapon. One had a mace, another held a giant hammer, and the last one held a sword.

The Orc King was standing with his eyes closed.

"That's the Orc King. It wouldn't move unless we attack first. Let me get its HP down, and then you can deal the final blow and get half the experience," Ryder told Shu after taking a short glance at the Orc King.

"Alright." Shu nodded.

Holding the Moon Scythe in his hand, Ryder walked towards the Orc King.

"It's so tiring to fight weak monsters. I can't even use any of my skills, or I would kill him in one shot. I can only cut him slowly to leave enough of his HP," Ryder muttered as he sighed.

As he walked, his speed kept increasing before he was right before the Orc King. Raising his legs, he kicked the stomach of the Orc King.

The impact of the kick was powerful enough to throw the Orc King back.

The Orc King crashed on the wall in the back as he opened his eyes.

Ryder hadn't used any of his skills and simply kicked using little strength, but that itself was enough to depletion ninety percent of the Orc King's HP.

The Green HP was only at ten percent now when it turned red. As soon as it turned red, the HP kept increasing until it was full again.

At the moment, the entire HP bar was full, but it was red.

"Hah, the Rage Mode of the boss monster. Am I supposed to be scared?" Ryder muttered as he again appeared near the Orc King and kicked.

The Orc King once again flew back like a broken doll, crashing on the different wall.

He once again lost ninety percent of its HP, but he stood up instantly as he threw the sword towards Ryder's chest.

Ryder slashed his Scythe horizontally, cutting the sword of the Orc King in half before he ran towards the Orc King.

"Sigh, only ten percent HP left. I can't even attack with strength anymore. I guess I'll simply toy with it," Ryder muttered as he jumped after getting near.

He landed on the back of the Orc King and cut the three hands of the Orc King.

The Orc King lost another five percent of its HP, leaving barely five percent.

The Orc King started shaking his body, trying to get Ryder down from his back, but Ryder didn't fall down. Instead, Ryder started slowly cutting the body of the Orc King.

The HP kept trickling away slowly once again.

"It's ready for you. Come and deal the finishing blow," Ryder let out as he jumped to the side.

Shu crossed his blade as he ran towards the Orc King.

[Wrath of the Thief]

Shu used his strongest skill just to be sure that he didn't leave anything to luck.

Two slashes appeared on the Orc King's chest, drowning its HP to zero.

The Orc King dropped to the ground.
