Chapter 32: CHAPTER 32 – Quest again.

[Surprise Quest: -

Quest objective 1: Fight and kill the Mid-bosses with your stats limited to A-rank.

Quest objective 2: Fight and kill the Boss of the gate with your stats limited to A-rank.

Reward: (A-rank) (Growth type) – Pyre of Adjudication. {Skill}

Penalty: --]

Alex looked at the quest and smiled. He had been eager to check how much his all-master could improve his fighting capabilities for a while, and now he finally got the chance.

He had been thinking of ways that could help him see the full capabilities of the All-master skill, his final conclusion was to lower his stats to the opponent's level or lower than theirs. So, when he saw this quest, just like Sophia said, he really took a liking to it.

There are many types of quests, some are called hidden, some are called choice, some are simply quests, and some others will be discovered later.

The Surprise Quest, however, will never have any penalty as they are considered a surprise and surprises could be rejected.

Still, if you reject the surprise quest, that would mean you are rejecting its reward as well, and believe it, you will regret rejecting the surprise quest since the rewards from the surprise quests are quite juicy.

Alex also looked at the reward and just with the name alone, he could somewhat guess what kind of skill it was.

"What happened?" Noticing Alex smiling at nothing Alice asked even though it was a nice view looking at Alex smiling.

"Oh, nothing. I just had a nice idea," Alex spoke and then lowered his stats.

"Huh?" X2.

Alice and Ann exclaimed in unison as they could feel Alex growing weak. The density of the mana his body emanated was decreasing, which could be easily felt in the surroundings.

"This way, you will be able to see more of my skills." Alex completed his line with a smile and looked at Alice and Ann's disbelieving looks.

"Why did you decrease your power?!" Alice exclaimed while Ann's body tensed, and she started looking around sharply.

"Hm? I just adjusted my stats to A-rank which would be somewhat similar to Ann's." Alex spoke in the same relaxed tone while checking his perception which had decreased to 70m, due to the mana being limited to A-rank.

"Are you serious right now?!" Alice asked in disbelief while Ann also looked a little unsure as to why Alex would do this. How could they not show such reactions?

They were in an A-ranked gate, where even S-rank Raiders stay on guard every time they enter. They didn't say anything before as they knew Alex was strong but how could they just sit back when they heard what Alex did?

This was not a game; this was a place where life and death were just a centimeter apart.

The next second however their disbelieving expression turned into shock as they saw tens of fire, water, wind, and earth arrows forming over their head.

Not just that, they could also feel that the arrows were being continuously pumped by mana as they grew denser and denser until they became solid.

"Did you think that lowering my stats would weaken me?" Then they heard Alex's voice which was filled with tease. Just as they heard his words they realized; they had been looking at Alex's one-dimensionally.

Did they think he was strong just because of his stats? Yes, they did.

Did they know anything about his skills? Other than the little Alice knew about him, nothing else.

Thinking clearly about it, they didn't know anything about Alex. Even though the revelation saddened them, they weren't able to focus on their thoughts as the next second, Alex shot the arrows in their surroundings.

*Woosh**Pierce**Woosh**Pierce*......

Other than the sound of wind cutting and something being pierced, they could also hear the sounds of animals crying out loud in pain before stopping altogether.

But then they noticed another thing, the fire arrows extinguished just after they burned their targets, while the other arrows also disintegrated after their task was done, which was, of course, killing their targets.

"Let's go now, we have to clear this gate before an hour is complete," Alex spoke with a smile, and the girls just absentmindedly nodded.

"Oh, right." Alex turned towards Ann before they continued forward.

"Can you carry her?" Alex inquired, gesturing at Noctura who was sleeping on his shoulder.

"Un." Ann nodded her head. After getting her affirmation, Alex gently lifted Noctura off his shoulder and passed her to Ann who embraced her gently.

Alex's plunder skill had been activating every time he killed a beast, and he just plundered their stats every once in a while. Why once in a while?

That's because he couldn't plunder the same type of beast more than once, Alex himself didn't know about this until a while ago. When he killed the first jackal he had plundered its stats as it didn't have anything special to plunder.

Later he slayed another one, but he couldn't plunder it, he tried focusing on the plunder ability more, thus discovering the limitations of the ability.

Alex had never really focused on this ability since right now, even without this ability he could grow stronger day by day because of his bloodlines.

So, he didn't read or go through the full information about the limitations of the skills, that were kept in some corner of his memory.

He could not plunder any being that had many of its existential aspects matching with someone he had already plundered.

For example – He will not be able to plunder orc mobs more than once as all of them have almost the same skill sets, but he could still plunder an Orc archer, Orc mage, Orc commander, and other variants of Orcs.

Alex then nodded towards Alice and Ann who nodded as well and they started running towards the heart of the forest, which is also the large Orc village or small town whatever you want to call it.

.......................

"Can you see their stats?" Ann asked curiously while Alice tried to touch the transparent dome that was covering them.

Alex, Alice, and Ann who held sleeping Noctura in her arms were now standing right in front of an Orc guard, but the guard seemed oblivious to their existence.

Alex was using his disguise ability to hide their Presence from the Orcs, and for Orcs who are a race of physical fighters, the deception worked like an impenetrable wall.

At first, Alice and Ann were unsure, but after contemplating for a while they decided to put their trust in Alex again like they had been doing till the date.

"Yes, both of them have max B+ strength, while other stats vary from C+ to B," Alex spoke while looking at the two Orcs that were guarding the gates. The village had a debilitated look, with just huts inside of it, and blood, bones, guts, and other parts of some beast's bodies thrown here and there, showcasing the nature of Orcs.

Orcs are green-skinned monsters with a humanoid form. They have two tusks coming out of their mouths (in most cases), large bulky bodies of height ranging from 2m to above, and muscular and intimidating appearance.

Almost all of them have long arms, long muscular legs, and muscular bodies with great strength packed inside them.

Because of their stature and looks, they give off an intimidating air. Even when they smile it looks intimidating and creepy (In most cases), those smiles can even make low-rank Raiders shit their pants.

Orcs are bloodthirsty, wild, primitive, hot-headed, muscle-brain, and physically stronger than any normal race.

Most of the time they carry large axes or hammers with them, as they are simple brutes who fight with strength, and the axe or hammer is the best weapon for them.

However, the same strength for which they are called out as brutes is also the factor that is the scariest about them.

"Will you guys join as well?" Alex asked the girls without turning towards them and taking out the simple sword from his inventory. Alice was about to nod but....

(Hello guys, I am a cliffhanger. What do I do for a living? Make readers annoyed, maybe?)
