The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 71: High Orc (2)

Chapter 71: High Orc (2)

Any player who had faced orcs even once understood that filling a quota of 300 alone was an uphill battle. Teamwork was the only way.

Orcs are teaming up so why cant we too?? Lets hunt together!

Thus, this makeshift party was born. With the village overrun by orcs, dealing with them was no simple task.

Lets introduce ourselves! Can you all see our nicknames? Im [Eom Jun-seok], level 12, a warrior.

My level matches yours. Nice to meet you. Im [Brady Pit], an assassin.

Im a level 13 unarmed fighter, [Bbukbbukbbwbbw]. Pronouncing it might be tricky; I got carried away and just typed whatever

The five of them completed their introductions in a warm atmosphere. As it was a hastily assembled party, they were essentially strangers, only teaming up for mutual gain. However, the mood was surprisingly pleasant. They hadnt exchanged a single insult, and their cooperation was smooth.

Mr. Eom Jun-seok, can you please draw aggro?

Yes, Im on it! Hey! Look here, you ugly orc, uglier than my wife!

Mr. Brady Pit, nows your chance! Snap its neck!

Be careful, Mr. Bbukbbuk. Watch your back!

For hours, the five of them faced off against orcs, working like a well-coordinated team. They had all experienced defeat at the hands of orcs before, so they remained vigilant and calmly took down one orc at a time.

Phew, taking on six of them at once is pretty tough.

But with all five of us, its manageable, right?

Indeed. I couldnt have done it alone.

After synchronizing their breath for over two hours, they had cleared a small orc stronghold.

How about we challenge a larger one now?

No, lets not risk it.

Yeah, it looks like theres a watchtower at the entrance.

If theres a watchtower, it means theres some organization. The orcs weve faced so far are on a completely different scale.

Then lets safely raid a smaller village.

Recognizing their own limits, they had carefully avoided dangerous situations. After more than six hours of hunting, they reached the goal.

Weve reached our goal of taking down 300!

Count me in too!

Congratulations! Youve all made it out alive!

Although they werent sure if they had secured a top position, for now, they could breathe a sigh of relief.

Wouldnt it be a shame to part ways now? How about some more hunting?

Sure, Id like to reach level 20.

Eom Jun-seok and his group decided to continue their hunt. Having already completed the main quest, they were feeling more relaxed and confident. They dispatched orcs with newfound assurance.

Ive hit level 20!

Me too!

Congratulations!

I learned a new skill. Did you guys get one too?

I did.

It seems to be a combination skill. What should we combine?

Well, well figure that out as we go along.

Their existing skills had been enhanced, and they had acquired another skill. Their ranks had increased, allowing them to purchase stronger items from the shop.

Shall we keep going and take down those orc youngsters?

Sounds good. I also want to test out the new skill I learned.

The party continued hunting together until their remaining time was up.

Profit!

Profit!

The orcs were dropping like flies, noticeably faster, perhaps about 1.5 times as fast as before.

Arent these orc youngsters now a walk in the park?

Hehe, its unbelievable how we used to struggle against these pigs.

Thats right.

With level 20 reached, their confidence was at an all-time high. They began to consider tackling larger orc strongholds.

Shall we attempt to conquer a big stronghold for our final challenge?

Huh? Wait a minute, whats that?

Eom Jun-seok pointed in the direction of a peculiar orc they hadnt encountered before. It had tough, taut skin, stood over 3 meters tall, and boasted bulging muscles. Even without any weapons, it exuded power.

Whats that? It looks like an orc

Ive never seen one like that before.

Could it be a boss?

Boss?

In the past, they would have been terrified at the mere mention of a boss. But now, Eom Jun-seok and his group were at the peak of their confidence. Without any evidence, they simply felt it was achievable.

Want to try taking that guy down? The five of us should be able to handle it.

Should we?

Its a boss, so the rewards should be substantial, right?

If theres a reward, well split it fairly among us, alright?

Okay, lets do it!

Yeaaah!

Perhaps it was their confident shout that caught its attention.

Grurk?

The High Orc turned its head toward the party. When they met its eerie yellow eyes, they instinctively felt that their opponent was not prey but death itself.

Kwihihihik!

The High Orc made a bizarre sound and leaped toward them. The colossal creature, over 3 meters tall, landed in front of the group with a resounding thud.

Thunk!

With a single punch, one persons head burst like a balloon.

Thud!

With another strike, someones spine folded like a hinge, causing instant death.

In the blink of an eye, two were gone.

The remaining three were paralyzed by fear, unable even to think about using their skills.

Bkwoong! Bk!

Brady Pit and Bbukbbukbbwbbw died one after the other. They both died with their mouths agape, pierced through the chest.

Thud, thud, thud, thud

Eom Jun-seoks teeth felt like they were shattering.

Im going to die, Im going to die, Im going to die, Im going to die!

His mind was filled with the terror of death.

There was no time to run or counterattack.

Kwihihik! Kwihihik!

As the High Orc looked at the last remaining prey, it seemed to mock them with an amused expression.

To be laughed at by a monster.

It was a blow to his pride, but to Eom Jun-seok, even that was a luxury.

Please spare me, Mr. Orc, please

If he could, he wanted to grovel and beg, regardless of his pride.

But he couldnt move; that was all.

Kwiruk.

In his feeble state, the High Orc attempted to swing its fist.

But it couldnt.

Suddenly, it saw the sky, then the ground, then its own body.

Kwoong!

Before its head could reach, its body had already fallen.

Thwunk!

The High Orcs head bounced as it landed.

Whew.

Ryu Min, who had approached unnoticed, let out a short breath. From behind, he had swung his scythe with all his might, cleanly severing the High Orcs neck.

He had wondered if it would work, but it had taken just one strike.

The time it took to kill the High Orc: 1 second.

It was a new record.
