Chapter 64 - Resting And Planning

"You guys rest first. I will distract that monster as long as possible. While you're resting, Kayla will tell you the plan."

"Are you planning to die? What can you do alone anyway?"

"Don't worry. I'm a clown. I can entertain anyone. Even an Orc Emperor. All of you will discuss the plan while Kayla heal you. We also brought some water. As for me, I will keep it busy as long as possible."

"Okay. Don't die, Clarence!"

That was the exchange that happened before Kron take a rest and let Roy do his thing.

Kron and the other hunters, needed to recovers their magic and made a good plan to kill this Orc Emperor. Roy will act as the distraction for the Orc Emperor and stall for time as long as he can until everyone ready for the finishing move.

Kron retreated and all the exhausted hunters gathered in a spot where Kayla, Angela, and Sophie are waiting. As expected, all of them has run out of water trying to keep up with the Orc Emperor. They drunk the cold water from the ice barrel and one barrel is empty in an instant.

"Whoa! You guys are really exhausted, huh? Get some rest before we move to kill that thing again."

Said Angela while handing ice glass to a tired hunter.

"Aaahhh- that was refreshing. Thank you for the water. You made an ice barrel with your magic and it makes the water cold. It was nice."

"Alright, the injured one please come here. I'll heal you with my healing magic."

"You're Kayla? So you have a healing element, huh? I usually work alone but do you want to be my partner?"

Kron invited Kayla to be his partner but Kayla refuses.

"No thank you. I'm Roy's girlfriend."

"His girlfriend, huh? Does that mean all three of you is his girlfriends?"

"Not me. We're just friend."

Angela replied.

"Well, Kayla? About your boyfriend, Roy. Do you think he knows what he's doing?"

"Stalling for time. He's the best at it."

"But that Orc Emperor is smarter and stronger than any monsters I have encountered. You think he will be okay?"

"Don't worry. It will be like usual where he throws away his common sense and make all of us shocked. But he will do what he said."

"Oiiii!! He's splitting a rock on two! What is he doing?!"

"Challenging the Orc Emperor, I guess? He told you to rest so you need to rest. If you spend your time looking at him, your mind will be tired."

"But how can I not be worried? He just roared and split a stone in half, then that monster smashed a boulder! What the heck is going on?!"

"He's buying us time! If you're worried about him, then ignore him. The more you waste your time looking at him, the more time be wasted. We don't know if that Orc Emperor can be distracted for how long, so we must hurry. I'll tell you the plan that Roy made."

Kayla ignoring other hunters' reaction to watching Roy challenging the Orc Emperor, told them about the plan to use a special move if there's any.

"I don't have any. I'm only good in Area of Effect magic. Not a single target magic."

"Neither do us. We never encountered anything stronger than this Orc Emperor."

"Then how many fire element mage here?"

There are currently thirteen people here excluding Roy. Angela, Kayla, Sophie, Kron, one party with four hunters, and another party with five hunters. Among all those hunters, five of them raised their hand saying they have fire element.

"Then how many wind element mage?"

This time, another five of them raised their hand. One of them is Kron. And among those who raised their hands, two of them also have fire element. One of the two is Angela.

"Alright. Then the plan is for all the fire mages to combine their offensive magic and concentrate it on that orc. Then the wind mages will use wind to make the fire bigger. Roy also can help making the fire bigger with his air element magic. That's our best shot. Now we just need to rest until everyone recovers their magic."

Said Kayla while she's healing another hunter who got injured.

"You think this will work?"

"Even if it doesn't work, I believe Roy still has some plan. He always has plans. We just need to trust him at that time."

"Alright. Then let's rest and do it that way. And please tell me that Orc Emperor is not juggling stones!"

"We can't that Orc Emperor is juggling stones. That's the truth."

"Even if I am her girlfriend, I never know what is on his mind. But whatever it is, he never let us down."

Now that everyone has healed up a bit and drunk some water, they tried to rest, but they can't just rest seeing how Roy just teaching the Orc Emperor to juggle stones.

"Hey, when shall we act?"

"When all of you confident you can cast your strongest magic."

"Alright. Somehow I believe that Roy can stall for even a whole day. We can rest easy for now."

"By the way, where's the other parties?"

Kayla asked about the disappearance of the four parties.

"I told them that someone need to retreat and get us some reinforcement. Four parties decided to volunteer and before we can say anything, they already gone."

"At least they didn't just run away… they should be helping the defending team first, right? Then it will take longer for reinforcement to arrive."

"At least it's better than nothing."

By this time, Roy is showing the Orc Emperor about the card trick.

"And now he's teaching a card trick."

"Well, it bought us more time. Are you all prepared?"

"We can go anytime."

"Wait! If we just use magic like that, the Orc Emperor might notice and dodge it. I'll try to paralyze it a bit. I'm just a beginner level, but at least I could buy a tenth of a second. After I shot my lightning magic, that's when you all shot your fire and wind magic. By that time Roy should be taking me away from that Orc Emperor."

It was Sophie who suggested it. She is the only lightning mage among those stayed here.

"Are you not afraid?"

"Even if something happened, Roy will save me."

"Well, let's do it when that orc is focused on the cards."

"By the way, there's a chance that this plan doesn't work. So after using our strongest fire and wind combination magic, everyone will need to cast a barrage of magic toward that Orc."

"How can we tell if the Orc Emperor is dead or not?"

"Roy has good eyes. When he returns, only stop once he said so. If he didn't say anything, that mean the Orc Emperor is still alive."

"Alright. Let's get into position."

Everyone gets into their position. Sophie carefully get behind the Orc Emperor. That's when Roy noticed their plan is to use Sophie's magic to shock the Orc Emperor first, so he makes sure the Orc Emperor won't look back.

He makes the air into something harmful for body if it taken for too long. But the Orc Emperor noticed that Roy is doing something harmful to it. It got angry, but Roy already prepared to shoot a huge stone with Air Cannon to its head.

The shot hit its head but it doesn't injure the Orc Emperor much. But that's enough to gain its attention and make sure Sophie can hit it.

"Now!"

Sophie used Lightning Shock to paralyze the Orc Emperor. It got shocked for less than a second but by the time it recovers, everyone already shot their fire and wind magic to it.

Roy also already grabbed Sophie and carried her to safety while ignoring the huge explosion behind him. He also make sure that Sophie is safe in his arms and the explosion doesn't get to her.

After reaching to where everyone is, he looked back at the Orc Emperor. He saw that the Orc Emperor has fallen to the ground but still alive.

"It's still alive! Shoot more magic!"

Although the explosion is big, thanks to wind magic and Roy's air magic which changes the air properties into an explosive ones, the Orc Emperor fainted for a second. It got burnt on its face and several parts of its body, but it's still alive!

Everyone shoot their magic. Roy also grabbed some rocks and use Air Cannon to attack the Orc Emperor. Other than Kayla who might need to use her healing magic again, everyone also casted their magic. Including Sophie who cast lightning magic.

But the Orc Emperor is still alive. It even slowly stood up from the ground. In fact, almost all the magic other than the first biggest fire and wind magic could not hurt it. But with this many attacks, it can't do anything yet other than standing up.

The Orc Emperor just stood there waiting for a chance to fight back. The battle is not over yet.
