Chapter 68: Trap (1)
The sharp rapier found its mark with precision, piercing the throat of the lumbering orc.
In motion, they were elusive prey, but an orc, stripped of limbs and hobbling, made for an easy target. Min Juri couldnt help but admire the efficiency of a high-level player. I never knew hunting could be this straightforward, she mused, her gentle voice break through the eerie silence of the battlefield littered with lifeless bodies.
Had an orc witnessed this, it might have choked on disbelief, quite literally.
Ryu Min inquired, How many have we dispatched thus far?
52 in just 30 minutes, came the reply from Minjuri, her voice brimming with pride. Thats impressively fast, isnt it?
Ryu Min chose not to respond, for by his own standards, it was merely efficient, not exceptional. After all, he used to take down a staggering 300 in an houra feat that had now become second nature.
Yet, the time spent wandering was too long, he contemplated. The monster population in these fields is far from abundant.
The act of killing them was almost effortless. The true challenge lay in the hunt itself.
But its a risky proposition to wander too far, especially with Minjuri by my side, he mused.
Imagine being suddenly encircled by 50 of them. Alone, it might be manageable, but with Minjuri in tow, complete protection was not assured.
It seems I must head towards the Orc Shaman. That way, I can expedite the process of locating orcs.
The Orc Shaman possessed the ability to summon his brethren. By employing this resource, Ryu Min could bypass the laborious task of tracking down individual orcs.
