Chapter 33: CHAPTER 33 – On to the boss fight.
"Wait!! You can use space magic as well?!?!" Alice suddenly asked in a bewildered tone causing Ann's eyes to widen in realisation.
Last time when Alex took out his sword from the inventory, the girls weren't able to notice how he did it and their minds were too shocked by the events to even think deeply about anything.
Now, however, it was a different situation.
"Yes, I can," Alex spoke calmly affirming Alice's claim as she asked whether he could use space magic or not. Not like it was a lie to say that because even though he was using the inventory provided by the system, he could make one as well.
The girls, however, were anything but calm. They knew how rare space magic was, it was so rare that only one space magic user was known in the whole world, which is even lower than the time magic users.
A space magic user could cause a war between guilds just to get him recruited. However, from what the girls could see, it seemed that Alex had some kind of storage space-type magic, which would be coveted more than any kind of magic.
People might even kidnap him and use him as a personal storage ring.
"Will you guys join or not?" Alex asked again, breaking the girls out of their thoughts.
The girls exchanged a bewildered look and then turned towards Alex with the same look, only to find him staring at them with an unreadable expression.
"Can you guys not react like that every time you find out something new about me?" After looking at them for a while, Alex finally asked with a sigh. The girls then lowered their heads in shame.
When they thought of things from his perspective, they realised that the way they reacted every time might not have been a good experience for him.
Their reaction was always like they found some kind of new dangerous animal, even though they didn't mean it like that.
Alice was feeling worse than Ann as she knew that Alex didn't remember his past, which meant that the way people looked at him might be detrimental.
If someone looked at him like he was some kind of monster, then it was obvious that he would start thinking of himself as such, though Alice didn't know that her worry was unfounded, and Alex just didn't want them to react the way they reacted to every one of his things.
He thought that they might have a heart attack if he someday slipped some other shocking pieces of information.
"We are sor-" However before Alice and Ann could apologise; they felt their heads being patted and they looked up only to see him smiling gently at them.
"Just don't do that again, all right?" He asked with a smile causing them to blush a little, but they still nodded their heads.
"So, tell me now. Do you guys want to join in as well?" Alex asked again for the third time.
It didn't take the girls much time to regain their composure.
"Yes, we will take care of the small fries," Alice spoke while stretching and Ann nodded as well.
"All right then, I will be going up ahead," Alex spoke and deactivated his disguise making the two Orc's expressions turn into surprise, then anger and bloodthirst.
Alex stepped on the knee of the angry Orc in front of him. He used the knee as a support to push himself up in the air. Then before any of the Orc could even pick up their weapons, they found their worlds turned upside down.
The last thing they saw was their brethren running towards their direction before their world went dark, still, they were happy while dying, they knew that their brethren would avenge them.
They would have realised how wrong they were about the avenging part if they could see how the situation unfolded after their deaths.
Alice and Ann although surprised by Alex's acrobatic and unique fighting style, they maintained their calm since the situation in front of them needed their attention.
"Here," Ann spoke and gently passed Noctura to Alice which the latter accepted gently as well.
They didn't need to say anything as they both knew that Alice as a mage didn't need to move around much, she could just fight while standing in a single spot.
Ann, however, was an assassin-type Raider, so, she needed to move around rendering her unable to carry the sleeping Noctura around with her as it would hinder her movement and skills.
She turned towards the incoming Orcs and was about to run towards them, but she stopped. She smiled with awe and the same smile mirrored on Alice's face as she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Let's follow him, I am sure he is just buying us some time to get ready," Alice spoke garnering a nod from Ann.
Alex who had moved towards the incoming orcs was doing just what Alice said. He ran towards the 4 Orcs that were running in his direction after they heard their friend's shout.
Just as he arrived in front of the group of Orcs, one of them brandished their axe at him vertically. In response, Alex just sidestepped to the left causing the Axe to crash on the ground.
*Boom*
It created a booming sound and before the Orc could pull back the axe it found itself unable to do it, but then something unexpected happened. The wrist that held the Axe had fallen down along with the axe, leaving a cleanly cleaved hand with green blood flowing out of it.
By now, the other three Orcs had also slashed their hammers and axes towards Alex respectively. Alex who could see everything in slow-motion, first tilted his body to the right avoiding the axe that was aimed at his left shoulder, then with a swift motion he stepped on the axe.
When the axe was lifted by the Orc who only thought of pulling back his weapon and slashing again, Alex was lifted along with it, easily avoiding the other weapons coming down at him.
Alex jumped upside using the momentum of the Orc's weapon, reaching 5 m in the air. As the orcs looked up at their enemy, they found themselves looking at their deaths.
Alex who had jumped in the air, quickly summoned two earth arrows and shot them at the heads of two orcs. The two orcs who were standing on the left and right of the Orc that levitated Alex in the air were dead, impaled by the earth arrow.
Ann was awed by this scene as she knew that Alex had his power limited to A-rank, which was pretty much similar to hers, and even though she was an assassin she knew she could never be able to do such things.
Alex and the Orcs didn't look like enemies fighting, it looked like Alex was a matador and the Orcs were the bulls, charging at him with their full might only to get played.
Alex's movements, although unique, still, looked weirdly elegant and beautiful.
Before the remaining two Orcs could even register the notion of their companions dying, one of them found Alex's simple sword right in front of its eyes, before its world turned dark.
Alex held the hilt of the sword with the point of the sword aimed at the head of the orc and threw it right at it. When the sword pierced the Orc's head the Orc didn't fall to the ground immediately, so, Alex used its shoulders as a foothold.
"RAAAAAAA!!"
By now the remaining Orc had realised that all of its companions were dead, which angered him to the extreme since it could feel that their adversary was not strong enough to make them helpless.
It just shouted and ran towards Alex with its arms stretched, leaving its weapon behind.
Alex who was standing on an Orc's shoulder pulled his sword out of the Orc's head and kicked its head with all his might.
The head was crushed and detached from the body as it flew towards the incoming Orc's face. The charging Orc couldn't stop its movement all of a sudden, so, it took the impact of its friend's head on his own head.
The Orc stumbled and fell backwards due to the impact, but it was quick to stand up. Then it again looked at Alex and its anger soared higher when it found Alex dusting his clothes clearly ignoring his existence.
It got up and was about to run towards Alex but then it felt a piercing pain on the back of its head and before it could register what had happened its world turned dark just like its friends.
Alex who was dusting his dress didn't attack the Orc as he had already noticed Ann using some kind of skill to erase her presence, and sneakily moving behind the angered Orc.
"I will be moving towards the Mid-bosses and the Boss; you guys can watch while taking care of them," Alex spoke while pointing his sword towards the incoming group of ten Orcs.
Alice and Ann didn't say much and just nodded their heads.
Seeing them nod, Alex ran towards his target while also shooting three magma arrows towards the incoming group of Orcs, killing three of them in a swoop.
Alice and Ann also didn't mind, rather they appreciated this gesture. With fewer enemies to deal with, they could deal with them faster and observe Alex's fight without any obstruction.
'On to the boss fight." Alex thought in his head as he could already see the largest hut of the village which was situated in the middle of the village.
