Chapter 46. Surprise Attack
"Huahhh! Finally over, who would have thought that Orcs also know how to sneak attack? While I was fighting with three Orcs who were patrolling in the forest, this guy suddenly appear out of nowhere and launch a powerful magic attack on me, if not that this guy's body is it little too big to hide, I almost got hit by his surprise attack," Myne said tiredly while sitting on the ground. "But although things don't go according to plan at least I get a super powerful skill."
[AoE Magic・Wind Maximum]
A powerful wind magic attack, creates a 2-meter big tornado filled with wind blades, any creature that comes in its contract has no chance to leave in one piece unless it is more powerful than Host. After casting this skill it will last for 1 minute while going straightly in one direction until its time is over.
Cooldown Time: 30 Seconds.
This skill Myne gets from an Orc・Magicien who was trying to sneak attack him while hiding behind a thin tree, only god knows what was in his mind going on when he thought that he can even hide behind a tree that wasn't as thick as his thigh.
This wave of Orcs is quite smart, this time it was a little difficult to kill them without magic skills, seems like it is not a good idea to use Orcs as sparing partners to increase my close combat skills, Myne thought while looking at his status.

Hum...Quite a lot of skills have leveled up or are about to level up especially nonmagic skills, Myne thought with a satisfied smile. He is using those since today morning nonstop to raise their levels, because although he likes magic skills the most but just because he like them doesn't mean that he should ignore other skills, they can also come in handy in times of need like last night, if he doesn't have double jump then he can't even enter in Boggy's room.
Ohh! My main level also increase from 13 to 19, no wonder I suddenly felt like my power is increasing and my stamina and fatigue were restored during the battle, so this is the effect of leveling up, huh? This level system is really quite a magical thing, Myne thought with a Sigh.
"After leveling up to 19, and because my strength is also increased quite a bit, now if I think about it seems like I am really taking this whole leveling thing rather lightly. This is probably because till now I only kill everyone with help of my perverted magic skill instead of physical attacks, but seems like in the early stage level difference doesn't play any important role, but still, I have to be careful of the higher-level creature or people," Myne said with a frown.
"But look like most of my attack-type magic skills is about to level up, they just leak a little bit of point. Let go kill some more Orcs and rise their levels," Myne said and after standing up, he use Presence Erase and Stealth skills and quickly headed toward the Orc settlement.
Soon Myne comes to the same slope as the last time and starts observing the situation in the settlement.
Looks like nothing has changed, not even the guards of the main gate of the settlement were changed they are still the same as last time. Let's see if there is any small team who is going out from the settlement to become my experience point, Myne thought playfully while looking around the settlement.
"Ohh, there are they, a team of 3 Orcs, going into the forest to hunt, perfect," Myne said and hurriedly follow them.
...
"Bdso da_yà_knw Ørmaa baleng æ seueti Huum wö'maaun tho helv steype nalice bo'be? cump''tek liyor tilip," ( Boss, do you know, yesterday Ormaa bring a beautiful Hume woman who has a nice body and big boobs? She is completely your type, )
"Omn, Ali, màlu hle uno Ørmaa w_en`ti tu geul hsr ta Da Kingo, bal w`l Da King k_nwl`da Ørmaa hal inpliur bali luanu pern_'w tho malu tuel nerc Ørmaa, alu ah a sliuja tho theli`~uh iwlu beox, ( Yes, and I also heard that Ørmaa wanted to give her to The King, but when the king knew that Ormaa has already impured her before bringing her in front of him, he beat the hell out of Ormaa, and as a punishment for wasting his time, the king throws him in prison for a week.)
"Twla wolt heiiopisàæ tu ftat àoullt wö'maaun, Ørc lidear aserv liet foelow" ( Then what happened to that woman? The Leader Orc asked with a frown.)
"Iàu helà neät thâl ñmeu vàk ne_buox àlu Ørmàà's trolpi, tho Kïngo olrà sht ek shsu hdu sksj làpw yruwoz mcbksir sobài.

By the way, let me tell you a funny thing, at first after hearing that his toy was also thrown in prison with him, Ormaa was very happy as he thought that his days in prison wouldn't be boring, but later he found out that our king also plays a joke with him as instead of putting that Hume woman in his cell, he put her in just opposite cell and that too without any cloths to ignite his desire and let him watch her with helplessness.)
"Khikhàhàuuuu, Kokokkà, hunn humm, àjjuen to àeuey àyy ev àbs ee hàysev ànushehe. Ørmàà àbhhebe hàheyeas evebs iài wjhebà, jebeheb àbbwe àbje ebeub à hàb wekk. Bàbesa.

After we complete today's hunt, I will go to prison to mock that Ormaa and also f*ck his toy in front of his eye's till I didn't break her apart with my little guy, The Leader Orc said with an evil smile.)
"Leku Bœs, notelge lof Kïngo knse laobyt thore, rheh wwoombt sujaa tho?" ( But boss, what if the king finds out about it? Then he won't punish you too? )
"Uhh, tenhon noet, insda met àldir sneb someht hrbev tho Kïngo msbs hrhe nrbdv rbsedt prinut asjmintoout p-jdevr _urg_pehrvtt,Ørc lideàr pues shis sir sjejkssan," ( Ohh, don't worry about it, I already have a nice thing, which will not only save me from punishment but also get me a reward from the king, The leader said with a smile while thinking about the rare magical flower he accidentally found in the forest.)
"No jissi, dowt folgrt vos, thse llennis woseme punseese hthend herada usse hdbsb mojs," ( By the way, Boss, don't forget us, after playing with that woman please give her to us so we can also have some fun.)

After I was done playing with her you guys can take her, and have as much with her as you guys want, hahaha, The Leader Orc said while laughing.)
...
What are those Orcs talking about? They look quite happy as if something good has happened to them, especially that big guy, sigh, if only I can also understand their language then how good it would be, I can learn about all their secrets, Myne thought while hiding behind the bush.
Anyway, let's see their skills first, I am really excited to get some more cool skills, Myne thought while rubbing his hands together with an evil smile.

F*ck, so many skills! They are literally a walking treasure trove of skills, if only I can also use abilities what a pity, but still those guys are quite lucky all three have quite nice skills if they are Hume then they probably become members of the royal family or some high-level noble family, but here they are just hunters, Myne thought while handily stealing their skills.
Okay, till those guys are discussing something let me take look at my new skills, especially those new Martial Arts skills...
[ Martial Art: Sharpness・Extreme ]
Use Host soul energy to cover any type of close combat weapon to make it sharper and more durable during the battle.
Special Note: Recommended Host to not use this skill for more than 30 minutes a day, otherwise Host's soul will take serious damage.
[ Martial Art: Flurry ]
Burn Host soul energy to increase Host's strength to 3 times for 30 seconds.
Special Note: Can only use it once a day.
Huh? What is this soul energy?? I never heard about it, and now if think about it I also never hear or read anything about those Martial Arts skills either, this is a completely new thing for me, and it seems like those skills are not as simple as they seem. Not only there are some restrictions on using them but they also bring curtain hidden dangers with them, Myne thought while rubbing his chin.
[ Support Magic Stamina Absorption・Large ]
After activating this skill Host can absorb anyone's stamina within a 1-meter radius no matter if it is Hume or Monster, absorption speed depends on how much magic energy hosts provide it, the more magic energy Host uses the more quickly skill absorb all stamina from Host's opponent, and transfer it in Host.
Cooldown Time: None
[ Strong Arm・Extreme ]
Can increase Host arms strength by 2 times for 2 minutes.
Cooldown Time: 1 Minute.
Special Note: This skill has to absorb the skill Strong Arm (Small), and replace it.
Huh? So If I have the same type of skill and wanted to put that skill higher version then the higher version skill will devour lower version skill, this seems quite reasonable, otherwise, my status would have become quite mess, Myne thought while nodding his head.
[ Rock Skin・Extreme ]
Harden Host body muscles to an extreme level in order to make them more stronger and durable. Host Body Defense Incarge by 3 times for 5 minutes.
Cooldown Time: 30 Seconds.
Well although other skills are not as powerful and dangerous as martial arts skills but they are definitely more useful than them, for example, Stamina Absorption skill, even though I already have a stamina recovery skill but that is not as good as stamina absorption because not only it provide stamina during the battle but also weaken the enemy. And Strong Arm can use while fighting with a weapon, as for Rock Skin, let's not talk about it even an idiot can tell how useful this skill is. look like I have to work harder to increase their levels, Myne thought with a smile. But now let's deal with them before doing anything else.
After thinking about such first Myne cast Speed Reduction on the Orc trio and then while Orcs were in a state of confusion, he come out from behind the bush and after greeting them with a friendly smile, he cast his latest skill AoE Magic・Wind Maximum.
Just as Myne did that a 2-meter big tornado with many small green lights revolving in it continuously formed in front of him, and without Myne doing anything as a tornado took its complete shape it immediately charged toward the direction where Myne plam is pointing.
Orcs also came out of their confusion as they saw a big tornado heading toward them, and just as they tried to run away from the tornado's direction in slow motion speed without realizing it, the tornado already cover them.
"Ahhhhhhhh...
Three different levels of ear-piercing screams sounded in the forest at the same time but soon died down.
As tornado time is over, Myne saw the real situation of the Orc trio, which was till now block by the tornado's high rotation of dust-full winds. In the Orc trio, the weakest one Orc Knight Orsaru was in a critical situation, many parts of his body are missing, and blood are continuously flowing from his body nonstop, overall his condition is not very optimizing, and anyone with eyes can say that he is not far from kicking the bucket. The second guy Orc Dark Knight Orunala, even though his injuries are not as critical as Orsaru but he is also very heavily injured and if he doesn't get immediate treatment then he is probably not going to see the next day's sunrise. And finally our most powerful in the trio Orc General Orbanuss, although he was in the center of the tornado and received the best treatment among the three but surprisedly he wasn't much injured, just some scratches here and there, and others than that he was completely fine.
Well, although this skill doesn't have much effect on Orc General, but still for normal Orcs this skill is more than enough and when its levels rise in the future I believe that it also has a deadly effect on high-level monsters, Myne thought with a satisfied smile, while casting one more wind tornado toward the Orc trio.
This time without much surprise only Orc General survives while the other two tragedies die under Myne's brutal attack.
"Since you three are close friends then it is not a good thing to abounded your friendship because of punny things like death, go and join them in another world," Myne said jokingly with a smile and start bombarding Orc General, who was staring at him with red eyes, with his other skills which don't require any time to cast.
Soon under the continuous bombardment of many skills like wind blades, fireballs, and light beams, Orc General's steal-like body finally couldn't take it anymore and lifelessly fall down on the ground with a pop sound.
Hoh, this guy's body is quite tough, no wonder AoE skills don't have much effect on him, Myne thought while looking at Orc General's body which start shining in little blue light and soon disappeared from the ground like it was never there in the first place.
Then Myne stood in his place for some second and took a quick glance in his Inventory, and just he turns around to walk to another side of the forest to find his next prey suddenly a bright red magic circle appear under his feet out of thin air. After seeing the red magic circle, Myne without thinking anything and directly jumped aside to dodge it, and just as he did that a 5-meter big and 2-meter wide burning hot pillar of flame appear in his original position.
"F*ck! So close, a little bit of delay and I defiantly become seriously injured. Which motherf*cker dare to sneak attack on me, come out coward," Myne shouted angrily, and just as stand up from the ground, a big battle ax suddenly come flying toward him with extremely fast speed, so fast that it left many afterimages behind it.
And just as Myne watched the flying Ax coming toward him with horror-filled eyes, suddenly a loud sound resolved in the forest.
*Boom,
