Chapter 54 Lesson Learned
Chapter 54 Lesson Learned
'Did I get too excited?'
He forgot to control himself and stabbed its throat one more time. It was then that the Orc Lord opened its eyes and screamed out.
"Kuaaaaa!"
"Damn! War cry!"
Orcs were large bodied beings with strong vitality, they were also beings that possessed monstrous physical strength, as expected of their large bodies.
It was with this monstrous strength that it swung its fist towards Evan, hitting him square in the side.
**PSHHCHH!!
There was a burst of lightning at that moment, and with just that, Evan was sent flying as his health dropped tremendously.
Thankfully, he did not hit the wall and just fell on the ground.
"Agh, damn it…!"
As he screamed in pain, Evan could not help but internally curse his carelessness.
He was feeling more confident as he had gained a level today and hoped to gain more by fighting more monsters that he had thrown caution out the window.
This ended up in him attacking a monster without appraising it first like he normally would have, as such, he was unaware of the fact that he was battling a monster that was more than ten levels higher than him.
Adding the fact that monsters at any level were always stronger than their adventurer equivalents, the level 60 monster was a lot more powerful than Evan was prepared for.
The actions of the orc lord just now also taught Evan another lesson.
No matter how similar to the game their actions were, he should not forget that the monsters of this world were living breathing beings who could make decisions on their own just like him.
They would not move like the monsters in the game were programmed to.
Losing too much blood too quickly, he couldn't move my body for a moment. Setting aside the pain he was feeling, he would definitely have died without the barrier Kayla casted at the last moment.
[You harm master! DIE!]
"Wait Kayla!"
He forcefully pulled Kayla who was about to attack the orc, put strength into his knees and got up.
His legs were shaking and he couldn't stand properly, It wasn't easy to digest the damage from an orc lord's fist after all.
'I've gotta beat a demon king, a mere orc lord is nothing.'
"DIEEEEE!"
'It's charging!'
The orc lord displayed its tenacity as it charged towards him with glaive in hand, despite the huge amount of blood it was continuously losing, intending on ending Evan for good.
"HUMAN, THIS IS THE END!"
"Kuk!"
Evan hurriedly took out a health potion from his space expansion bag that was strapped to his belt and drank it.
Once his health recovered a little, it would become easier to move. However, the feeling he received was not the one he was expecting.
"Damn!"
He glanced at the bottle and realized it was a strength enhancing potion instead.
'It seemed like I would have to face him directly. I don't have the time to drink a health potion anymore and my legs aren't fully recovered. They can only manage standing their ground.
Although this isn't what I had planned…'
He had enough time to temporarily sink into his thoughts as although the Ord lord was tenacious, the fact that it had lost a lot of blood could not be ignored so it was much slower than before.
Evan tightly gripped his sword and looked forward at the Orc Lord that was charging towards him in a straight line, its eyes glowing red.
Its eyes were burning with love and the glaive in its hands were full of passion. It was truly the worst love confession.
"Whew… let's do this."
He muttered some things he would probably regret to hype himself up for the clash.
"DIE!"
"DIE!"
And so, the both of them shouted out at the same time.
'Faster than lightning, stronger than a dragon, grander than Mt. Tai, and more delicate than the ocean!'
Thinking rather useless things as the Orc Lord neared him, Evan thrusted his sword toward the Orc Lord's chest.
If it could survive this, then Evan would be the one to die!
**PUK!!
He heard a sound.
His attack had definitely hit its mark.
The question was whether it died or not. Because his eyes were shut, he couldn't see if it was dead or if he was about to die.
In an instant, everything became quiet as if all sounds in the world had disappeared. It like when you turned off the TV in the middle of the night.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
"That's a disturbing sight!"
The Orc Lord's face was right in front of his. When he pulled out his sword and stepped back, the Orc Lord fell with a thud.
He blinked. This… could this be?
'… Did I succeed?'

The messages in front of him were all the confirmation he needed.
He turned around and saw the party of nine entering the cave after a fierce battle with two orc groups, leaderless of course.
He was about to call out to them when a familiar notice board appeared and displayed a very ominous group of messages to him.
