Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 123: One by One.

In the wilderness.

A group of around a hundred Orcs were roaring and screaming in wrath, chasing behind a silver-haired boy who was almost half their height.

The scene would look horrifying and pitiful from the perspective of any person watching the boy, but the said boy had a grin on his face that revealed his pure excitement.

'Now I can kill them all one by one. The Rank 1 Orcs can be ignored as they don't give me any point skills, so I should focus more on the Rank 2 Orcs...'

In the dense forest, Felix could have an advantage in going on an assassination rampage with the use of his Earth-related skills.

Firstly, he distanced himself as far as he could from the tribal village to prevent them from getting reinforcements and retreating.

Secondly, he chose an area with many trees and congested ground where the large Orcs could face trouble moving around in groups.

After doing all that, Felix stopped running and turned around, facing the Orcs who were still rushing towards him.

"Here I come."

Under the intense stares of the approaching Orcs, his body started to sink into the ground, which alarmed them as they hurried towards him.

Unfortunately, they arrived a bit late at his spot as his existence had completely disappeared from the scene.

"GRAAWHH!!"

The Orcs bellowed in hate, for again losing the human who had blatantly played with them and mocked them on their faces.

Meanwhile, Felix swam underground, reaching a corner of the area as he poked his head out and started choosing a target out of the many Orcs.

"Let's see...", he narrowed his eyes and searched for a nice prey.

The angry Orcs seemed to have taken a pledge on the spot to take their revenge and kill him as they formed groups amongst themselves and separated in the forest to hunt him down.

Out of hundreds of the Orcs, eight of them were at the level of Rank 2, and every one of them led a dozen Orcs in search of him.

So altogether, the hundreds of Orcs had divided themselves into eight groups, moving in different directions, which made Felix arch his lips in delight.

"They're really smart to divide themselves and make it easy for me. For providing me such an excellent opportunity, maybe I should reward them....with a quick death."

His eyes blazed with a sharp glint as he moved underground and made his way towards a group of Orcs, planning their execution.

A few minutes later, he had arrived at a lonely stream after following behind the Orcs.

Deciding that it was a good distance from the rest of the group, Felix initiated his attack.

"Quicksand!"

The earth beneath the Orcs softened and started to sink their legs in, but the monsters were alert and cautious, so they quickly noticed the change.

The Orcs jumped out of the area surrounding the quicksand, spreading around in a circle with the centre area turning semi solid, not allowing them to move there.

Felix used this chance and came out of the ground, rushing towards the disoriented Orcs.

As the Orcs were already alert from the sudden quicksand attack, they quickly noticed him and raised their weapons, charging at him head on.

At this time, only six of the Rank 1 Orcs were attacking him as the rest were separated with the quicksand area in the way.

This eased him a lot as he used a few 'Agility Bursts' and effortlessly killed all six of them with the help of his Sword Techniques.

After he slayed the first wave of six orcs, the rest of the group arrived on the other side, numbering five Rank 1 and one Rank 2 Orcs.

They heavily stomped on the ground and rushed at him, the Rank 2 Orc roaring in anger at the death of its tribemates as it led the charge.

"Why are you shouting? When I'm doing all this for you, honey."

Felix muttered sarcastically as he pointed his shortsword at the Rank 2 Orc, eyeing him as if he were some beautiful jewel.

When the Orcs had reached ten meters within his space, he used two of skills consequently.

"Dust Blast! Earth Spikes!"

A mini storm hit the charging Orcs, blanketing them with mud and debris, which stopped their assault.

But that wasn't all as several spikes shot out from the ground, piercing into their bodies as blood spurted out like a flood and mixed up with the flowing dust.

The Orcs grunted in pain and fought against the attacks, but they couldn't resist the strange power of the earth skills.

On top of that, Felix decided to directly interface, running into their disoriented surroundings and swinging his sword without a mercy.

The Rank 2 Orc prevailed through the pain and tried to attack Felix, but the boy dodged him easily and went for the others as he wanted to leave him for last.

After killing all the Rank 1 Orcs, Felix strolled towards their leader, his sword drenched in blood which dripped on the ground endlessly.

The only Orc left which was at Rank 2 gnawed its lips in fury, its eyes widening in unquenchable anger as it limped towards the human while tightly gripping its weapon.

Felix didn't let the Orc suffer in pain anymore, as he used an 'Agility Burst' to dash towards it and neatly chopped off its head, giving it a quick death.

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 100 skill points.]

The headless body of the Orc fell with a 'thud', bringing a grin on Felix's face as he heard the notification from the system.

"One down and seven more to go...."

After giving a brief glance at the blood-stained battlefield, Felix turned around and left the place.

He moved in the direction where another group of Orcs had gone, remembering the way from his memories.

*****

A few minutes later, Felix hid behind a tree as he peeked at a group of Orcs who were searching around an area for any of his clues.

'I better aim for only the Rank 2 Orc this time...'

He thought as taking out all of them would be time consuming and seemed unnecessary as it also wouldn't benefit him in any way.

Deciding to do that, he brainstormed and rapidly tried to come up with an idea to avoid any meaningless fights with the Rank 1 Orcs.

'Should I just assassinate the Rank 2 Orc?'

He then shook his head.

'No, I don't have a strong one shot attack that could kill a Rank 2 being.'

Pondering as he glanced around the surroundings, the tall trees in the forest made his eyes lit up.

'Why didn't I think of this before!'

Felix smiled as he came up with an idea, and used the Silent Steps skills to sneak his way towards a tall tree that was the nearest to the groupd of Orcs.

He glanced at the Orcs while hiding behind the tree and calculated their positions, especially of the Rank 2 Orc.

'Let's try this.', Felix gulped in anticipation, before moving some steps away from the tree and using his skill.

'Earth Spikes!'

He created spikes which emerged out from below the roots of the tall tree and destroyed the support the tree was getting from the ground.

Later, he created some more spikes which attacked the tree from his side, pushing it forward as the entire tree inclined in the direction of the monsters.

The disturbance alerted the Orcs who turned their head in Felix's direction and started walking over in a careful manner.

'Damn, this tree is a lot sturdier than it looks!'

Felix cursed as he unsheathed his shortsword and slashed at the tree using his sword technique.

'Black Horizon Sword Arts: Assault Impact!'

The force from the attack pushed the tree forward, as it rapidly got uprooted and started falling in the opposite direction.

"Yes!"

Felix cheered up, watching the tall tree fall.

But the Orcs were horrified, as they witnessed a massive tree coming down from the sky and falling down on their heads.

The branches of the tall tree broke from the friction against the other trees, but it couldn't stop its fall as it brought doom to the running Orcs.

BOOM!

The large tree crashed on the ground, its massive size picking up a lot of dust and sending a loud sound echoing throughout the forest.

Felix had already distanced himself from the tree knowing it would cause such destruction, but the actual scene had left him speechless as he widened his eyes in shock.

He couldn't voice out any word but his eyes roamed around the area, noticing the grunting Orcs and of course his favourite Rank 2 Orc, who was now separated from the rest of the group.

'Was that too much?'

He pondered as he made his way towards the Rank 2 Orc, pointing his sword at it while he stood atop the fallen tree.

"You caused too much trouble, now die."

The confused Orc remained frozen at the shocking event, before getting attacked by several spikes and a last stab in its heart, ending its life.

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank.]

[You have gained 100 skill points.]
