Chapter 168: A ranked Orc
Many of his skills had leveled up, and he hadn’t noticed. Beyond that, the only change was the fact that he had forty-two days until he had to enter another trial.
And for the first time since he came here, he was actually looking forward to the trial, because he would finally be able to see the Iron Maiden again, and maybe he would be able to get some answers from them.
While he was distracted with the system, more orcs came their way, a total of ten marching together, and behind them was a massive orc, ten feet tall and an A-ranked.
"Riven, look," Sofia said. He stopped looking at the system screen and looked ahead, only to see the orc standing there.
"Ten B-ranked and one A? The exam is getting serious," Riven muttered. He gripped his sword tight and looked at her.
"Let’s split fifty-fifty, and the A-rank will be whoever lands the final hit," Riven said.
"That works for me," she said. She pointed her staff, all ready to go. Riven looked at her, let out a smile, and then charged forward.
She held back and started casting while he went in close. The first orc swung at full force. Riven dodged under and then pushed forward. When he was close to the orc, he immediately activated Inferno Domain.
The temperature rose rapidly, and the skins of the orcs started burning. Riven attacked the first one while it battled with the heat, slashing the leg and sending it collapsing.
