Chapter 23: Chapter 23

I opened up a menu to check on my HP and fatigue levels. I had lost less than 10,000 health points.

“Hehe!”

I had so many more health points now than when I was a fire mage, and I only had 11 points in fatigue after so many hours of hunting today. All that and the fact that I had lost less then ten thousand health points was funny to me.

“Arrgh!”

I pushed back on the two spears I was holding on to. The orcs that were holding on to the other ends of the spears rolled back three meters from the force of the push.

As those two orcs were rolling back, I grabbed the two spears that had been stabbed into my body and pulled them out. I rushed in at the other two orcs that were just standing there, dumbfounded, and threw two punches at their heads.

“That’s for stabbing me.”

The elite orc guardians still needed two or three more punches to die.

As one orc fell down to the ground dead, I rushed and drop-kicked the other that was still struggling to get up in the head.

I didn’t check to see if the orc whose head just split open like a melon was fully dead and rushed the last orc guardian and kicked its head like it was soccer ball.

It died instantly from the kick.

Of the twelve elite orcs, I had killed five guardians and three archers in less than three minutes.

All that were left were the three elite soldiers and the one elite champion. Just four left! I felt it at that moment.

“I’ve been reborn a predator!”

It was true that my current abilities were too high for the Bukhan Mountain dungeon. Not just high, I was massively overpowered for this place.

The monsters were obviously no match for me now. Even back then, there were plenty of monsters that I could kill in one attack.

Regardless, I had never felt anything like this before. This elevated feeling that I could do anything. The feeling that I could conquer anything in my way coursed all through my body.

It felt like a slumbering beast had just awoken inside me. The beast finally cracked through the hard shell that was encasing it; a shell that I had no idea existed in me all this time.

I finally noticed the three soldiers and the orc champion that were kind of just standing there, seemingly out of place.

“Chaaaa!!!!!” I shouted a war cry from all the excitement and energy that was building up inside me, and charged into the middle of the elite orcs.

As if I were a hungry wolf in the midst of a flock of frightened sheep, I grabbed an orc soldier by its collar and pummeled its face with my fist.

The other orc soldiers and the orc champion didn’t miss a beat, and swung their blades into my sides and back. Their attacks cut deep into me.

I felt a slight pain and pushback from their attacks, but they still weren’t enough to stop me. It was probably more work and loss for me to try to evade their attacks than to just take the damage.

As long as I avoided getting attacked in the face, neck, and groin, I was going to be fine!

It was a barbaric mud fight, between just my attacks and four monsters, but regardless, I had no reason to avoid their attacks.

“That’s it. This is the least you all should do!”

Pow! Wham! Slump. Crash!

The orc champion at least fought with some skill.

It had the three orc soldiers fight in front of it and it attacked from the back while looking for openings.

The champion’s attacks actually had enough force behind them that I was occasionally slightly lifted off the ground. I definitely felt more pain from its attacks than from the soldiers.

“But that’s still not enough to stop me! I’m just saving the best for last! Just you wait! Hahaha!”

I ignored the champion’s attacks and focused on the orc soldiers. These guys seemed to have a bit more defense than the rest, but they still fell with four hits.

“Haha! And then there was one!”

The remaining elite orc champion held his greatsword to his chest and watched me. It wasn’t enough to make me feel threatened.

He shifted with a chink of armor. “Rahhhh!” The sole orc champion snorted strongly in anger. With a war cry, he gripped his greatsword and charged at me.

“Chaaa!” At that sight, I replied with my own shout of final determination and met his charge.

We were about ten meters apart, but the distance closed in an instant.

As soon as we were close enough, the orc spun at his hip and swung his greatsword at my waist, attempting to slice me in half.

I saw his attack coming. I charged in a little closer and pushed off with the ball of my foot to jump into the air over the orc. I rolled forward in midair once and landed behind him.

The orc champion’s attack missed and sliced the air in front of him with a whistling sound.

I stood straight up and spun around to face the orc.

The orc champion must have put in all his power into his attack, as he stood there for a split second longer than he should have. He left his back defenseless to me.

“Chaaa!”

I sprinted the short distance and jumped onto the orc’s back and pushed. The orc fell straight onto the floor on his face, with me hanging onto his back.

The orc snorted and growled with his face planted on the floor, but I had no thoughts of letting him up from that position.

I began pummeling the back of the orc’s head and neck.

With every hit, the orc struggled more and more to get out of that position, but I was pushing down with all my strength.

I had full mount over his back so he couldn’t fully use his arms.

The orc tried with all his might, but my STR and VIT were considerably higher that his, so it was to no avail. I kept pounding my punches on the back of the orc’s head and neck.

The orc champion grunted in rage, but with his face pressed against the floor, all I could hear were his snorting exhalations of breath.

It took four focused hits to the weak part of the back of the orc’s head and neck for the orc to finally die.

Once the fight was over, the level up alert message showed up five times in a row!

“Nice!” No matter how many times I heard it, the level up sound was always sweet to hear. But that wasn’t the only sweet thing.

“Item!” Two items had appeared in place of the elite orc champion’s body. “Item check!”
