Chapter 242
“The Twilight Kingdom...”
“Don’t tell me this is a kingdom of Twilight Orcs?”
The truth was staring the players in the face, but it was hard to accept.
Who would’ve imagined that orcs, who were on the lower end of the intelligence spectrum among monsters, could found a civilization? Moreover, it was a civilization of Twilight Orcs, monsters renowned for their antisocial nature.
Twilight's Orcs had a proclivity for wandering S-grade gates alone, hunting players as they went. And the carnage they left behind had earned them a particular nickname among circles of players.
“... The Butcher.”
The faces of the players paled, and their weapons shook in their trembling hands. It was an almost primal level of fear. How many gruesome stories had they about these grey-skinned giants? How many S-class players just like them had died to monsters just like these?
“Everyone, stay calm. The Twilight Orc that killed Noya is way bigger than the rest. The others won’t be as powerful.”
A middle-aged man with his hair in a ponytail spoke up to reassure his colleagues.
“Let’s retreat first. Stay alert for any more thrown projectiles or axes as we do.”
No matter how dismissive of the natives the Chinese players had been, they were still S-class elites. They had naturally made note of various escape routes from the village.
“Lou Xin’s safety is our top priority. The Twilight Orcs have skin that is nearly impervious to blades, but they are vulnerable to magic.”
