Chapter 124 - 122: Vs The Orc King
As the battle raged on the other side, Alex and the Orc King moved to another location.
They faced each other as silence hung in the air, nobody made a move as the two continued to stare at each other.
Alex appraised the Orc King, he was surprised by what he had seen.

Alex sucked a mouthful of air, the Orc King possess ridiculous skills, especially the last one, even if he didn't possess such a skill, he had a lot of novels and know what this skill meant, if he let the Orc King activate this skill, his stats will double for few seconds, as for him he would die because of the overwhelming difference in their stats. To think that it was a mutated orc species, no wonder he was so strong and possess unusual skills.
Quickly checking his status, Alex saw that he had leveled up thrice even with the number of monsters he alone killed, more than twenty orcs (High species Orc included). He quickly distributed the 60 BP he gained from leveling up three times.

Even though both of them were Rank 5, there was still a huge difference between the two, as the Orc King surpassed Alex and was ahead by seven levels.
?Better avoid getting hit or else you'll end up with broken bones.?Silveria advised.
'I know, this going to be a tough fight, however, instead of feeling scared I feel excited. How unusual.' Alex muttered in his mind.
?There is nothing unusual about it, you are what people call battle junkie. You didn't notice it earlier, tell why do you only think about leveling all of the time? You may say it is to get strong but that not true because you're searching for a certain thrill, killing monsters procure you this feeling. Unknown to you, sometimes when you're fighting you have a crazy smile on your face as if you are enjoying it.?
Alex was surprised when he heard Silveria's words, chuckling he decided to focus on his immediate problem.
Suddenly, Krelos, the Orc King looked at Alex and grinned.
''Rooarr-"
As if waiting for Krelos to activate his King Roar, Alex immediately activated his skill Intimidation.
Both skills canceled each other, Alex didn't waste his time as he consecutively launched all of his Silver Bettie's (the throwing knives Leena gifted him)
Clangs Clangs Clangs !!!
Astonishingly, Krelos managed to dodge or parry all the knives thrown.
Grinning Alex summoned Silveria and fired ten bullets in quick succession.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!!!
Krelos on the other side also wore a grin as he suddenly started spinning his great at an extremely fast speed, the spinning sword acted like a shield that stopped all the bullets.
Alex was left speechless at the scene unfolding in front of him, never he would have thought that a monster would use his sword like a shield to block his bullets in this way.
?Indeed, it's an intelligent monster.?Silveria commented.
Krelos who finished defending against Silveria's bullets kicked the ground and sprinted toward Alex, the latter hastily pointed his gun in the direction of the incoming Krelos and keep firing.
Bang! Bang!!!!!
Krelos started zigzagging making it hard for Alex to shoot him, sometimes he uses his greatsword to block the bullet.
Finally, he managed to come near Alex and he swung down his greatsword.
Bang!
Alex shifted his body in the opposite direction dodging the dreadful slash and before he could attack, he felt a sudden chill, he quickly bent backward and rolled on the ground, he thus managed to avoid Krelos horizontal slash, after missing Alex, he reverses gripped the sword and did a horizontal slash.
Using his two hands, Alex spun on the ground before launching himself into the air using his two arms. Once in the air, Alex summoned Silveria and fired two normal,
Bang! Bang!
Krelos quickly brought his greatsword in front of him to defend.
[Phantom Bullet]
Alex mumbled as he fired one of Silveria's special bullets.
Krelos feel all the air behind his back rising, he brought the great sword in front of his face as the invisible bullet clashed against the magic great sword.
Baanng!
Krelos was sent crashing against a nearby wall and before colliding against the wall, he opened his mouth and shoot a big fireball at Alex who was about to lend on the ground.
''Shit''
Not expecting Krelos to have the time to attack him even after receiving phantom bullet, Alex cursed as he was caught off guard, bracing himself, the fireball stuck him.
Boom!
''Gah!"
Grunted in pain he was sent spiraling into the air before crashing against a wall, another excruciating pain assaulted him, his mouth tasted iron, he almost puked blood, as for his hands they were hot as if someone had put them into boiled water, few strands of his air got burned, he had the feeling that he had broken few of his ribs, fortunately, he wore the gear Leena gave him or else he would be more injured.
The Orc King, Krelos did not fare well either, his magic great sword broke in two, one of the broken party pierced through his right leg, standing up albeit with a difficulty, Krelos looks at his wretched armor before chuckling, what a dreadful attack he thought, if not for his high-quality armor and his excellent magic great sword he used as a shield he would have died.
Looking at the human responsible for his current state, Krelos grinned, and with a bloodied teeth he mumbled.
''You...human... good.''
Alex's eyes widened, grinning in turn, he also said, ''You too.''
''Big brother.''
It was at that moment Gracier came running and shouted when she saw Alex's sorry state.
''Do not intervene, this is between him and me. Nobody is allowed to step in.''
Alex warned as he saw his sister planning to join the battle.
Gracier stopped advancing and bite her lower lip, even though she was frustrated being told not to help, she still chooses to follow her brother's words, he did not seem like someone losing the fight, the two were both injured but the Orc King injuries were a lot worse than Alex's injuries.
Krelos nodded his head in appreciation as he saw Alex stopped the red-haired girl with heterochromia eyes from stepping in.
Suddenly, Alex noticed Krelos' eyes starting to glow in eerie red light.
''No good,'' Alex said as he quickly launched Razor he just summoned from his Item box.
Krelos grinned when he saw the incoming knife, he was unfazed, this knife will not do anything to him as he will activate his skill Berserker before it came, however, his grin turned into horror as he saw the incoming knife vanished all of sudden.
''Bumoh?!!!"
Kin!!
Krelos gave a startled cry before he hastily bringing his broken magic great sword behind his back and narrowly avoiding the fate of behind impaled in the head.
Suddenly, Krelos feel a sudden gust of wind caressing his face and the next moment, half of his head disappeared, Krelos last thought was, 'It's unfair, such dreadful ability must be used once, if it wasn't because of it, I wouldn't have died.'
Unfortunately for him, life is always unfair.
Alex's move was simple yet complicated, he firstly used [Accel] on the knife he threw, he knew Krelos would surely block his sneak attack, however by doing so he will be temporarily occupied, using this chance he would fire another Phantom Bullet toward him, this time it will be aimed at his head. He speculated that Krelos would not expect another Phantom Bullet because it was an ability that requires a lot of MP to use.
Thankfully everything worked perfectly if not, he didn't know the fight would have ended, he was almost low on MP and there's no way Krelos would've let him peacefully drink Mana potion.
''Fuh!!"
Sighing heavily, Alex fell to the ground completely exhausted physically and mentally, he thinks he broke a few of his ribs in that collision.
''Big brother, here is it.''
Gracier quickly approached Alex and gave him a healing potion, taking it, Alex opened it,
Gulp! and with a single sip, he down the contents.
''Still bitter as always,'' Alex muttered before caressing Gracier's red hair.
''Thank you, Alexandra. Where are the others?"
To Alex's words, Gracier smiled before answering.
''They are taking care of the runaways monsters as you ordered.''
''I see, they let you go ahead.''
Gracier nodded her head, smiling Alex said.
''Let's wait for them then.''
