Leo looked at the second princess before answering with a charming smile, ’’Level nine so far.’’
Agatha’s eyes widened in shock as she muttered, ’’Impossible, not even the hero will grow like him.’’

He looked at the brunette and was about to speak, but the loudspeaker rang out, ’’The first site is incoming. These are Savage Orcs who have been raiding nearby villages,’’ a woman said.
When the princess heard this, she said goodbye and returned to her seat. Leo watched her toned behind, causing Roxy to giggle, ’’She’s a target, isn’t she?’’
’’Yes, but it’s not the right time; I need to talk to her more,’’ he replied before turning to the outside as the airship descended to the ground.
Leo noticed they were landing at the edge of a small town surrounded by a sea of trees that reminded him of a primordial forest. When the craft touched down, chaos erupted, and explosions rang out.
Soldiers poured out of the aircraft, immediately clashing with the savage orcs in fierce combat. Seeing the chaos unfold, Leo sprang to his feet, turning to Roxy. ’’Stay here,’’ he commanded before leaping into the battle.
Stepping out of the craft, he raised his hands, casting Thunderbolts and Fireballs that streaked through the air and crashed into the creatures with explosive force. Leo didn’t show any mercy and annihilated any orc he spotted.
The monsters rushed toward the town, and the guard on the wall fired crossbows and bows as the soldiers attacked from behind. While this happened, Leo put on his invisibility cloak and managed to sneak behind the Orcs.
As Leo advanced, he spotted a massive orc at the heart of the assault, towering over the battlefield and surrounded by the bodies of fallen soldiers. Narrowing his focus, he dashed forward, gathering energy into his fist.
