Looking extremely human-like, the difference between an Orc and a Human would be the skin color, long ears, and its distinct 2 inch long fangs. They also have a more prominent jawline, defined cheekbones, larger stature, more toned body and are aloof.

The Orc monsters' origin is well documented. During the arms race before the 3rd world war, a group of fanatic geneticist made advancement on human mutation creating a human sub-species called "Homosapien Dumauris' based on their distinct long ears but are more famous for their common name 'Elf'.

After this advancement, during the early days of the 3rd world war, the new human sub-species 'Elf' along with normal humans, were experimented by a famous 'Doctor Melkor' which resulted to another new human sub-species, 'Homosapien Vehemens'. The newly discovered human sub-species quickly joined the war due to their strong and violent nature. Over time, this new sub-species were affected by the remnant chemicals in the atmosphere turning them into monsters capable of reason, and thus, Orc monsters are born.

Orcs are solitary creatures, for they know that trust among themselves would only result in betrayal. They are hermaphrodites which means they can reproduce alone. They do this by parthenogenetically producing an egg and then spitting them and leaving the egg on its own. They only care about getting stronger and fighting stronger monsters hence the only reason they would reproduce is for the hope that their offspring would grow strong enough to challenge them.

Ji Liu was careful, he commanded Xiao Cike to do a sneak attack while Xiao Su is still distracting the Orc. During the commotion, the Jet-Black Jumping Spider, now named 'Xiao Yue', would sneak and save Beedrill with its [Dark Stealth]. After all, it's already night time and the skill can only be used with dark surrounding.

The Skull Donkey would stay behind with Ji Liu to protect him and be a mount if the situation deems it necessary.

The plan to rescue Beedrill started, Xiao Cike used its combo of [Stealth] and [Advanced Poison Attack] while Xiao Su used its [Metal Trail] paired with [Advanced Metal Attack] to deal heavy damage. But the Photophobic Orc is not dumb, it leaped, activated [Dark Trail] while twisting its body sideways, held its spear horizontally and used the handle to parry Xiao Su's attack.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yue sneaked closer with [Dark Stealth] and prepared its web, ready to throw it to Beedrill when the opportunity arrives.

The Orc was hit by Xiao Cike's surprise attack but it then countered by using its [Advanced Earth Attack] on its spear and feet. The spear was thrown, it was an unexpected attack which hit Xiao Su just as it was about to prepare another attack. A small quake then followed as the Orc's feet stomped the ground shattering a small area which knocked Xiao Cike off balance.

Seizing this opportunity, the Orc knew that Xiao Cike's poison would pose the greatest threat so it used all 3 of its skill and charged toward Xiao Cike to eliminate the monster while Xiao Su was distracted. But this was a mistake.

Just as the Orc was nearing, Xiao Cike used [Flash] to blind the monster. A roar of pain and anger can be heard while the Orc shields its eyes with its hands. Xiao Yue's chance came immediately, it threw its web towards Beedrill securing the monster, and quickly jumps toward Ji Liu's location.

Meanwhile, Xiao Su already recovered and went to attack the Orc while it was still in pain. Xiao Cike also didn't let up and used its fangs, claws and even its tail to send a barrage of [Advanced Poison Attack].

The Orc recovered too late as it was already at a semi-conscious state when it released another [Advanced Earth Attack] on its arms and smashed the ground asunder. This attack opened up the opportunity for the Orc to recover its spear and smack Xiao Cike with its 3 abilities.

The attack sent Xiao Cike flying while coughing up blood. The Orc followed up by tackling Xiao Su with its shoulder and then swatting it down hard knocking the bird unconscious. This alerted Ji Liu as he thought that the battle was almost won.

Just as The Orc was about to pierce through Xiao Su however, Beedrill rushed and tackled the Orc hard knocking the monster unconscious.

At first, Ji Liu felt elated and was about to clap and praise the bug but then suddenly felt a sharp pain that almost knocked him down. He knew what was happening. It was Beedrill.

Beedrill was dying!

Ji Liu immediately rushed towards the bug's side but when he saw its status as 'death imminent', he lost hope and started sobbing. But then, an idea came and he thought that maybe if he used Beedrill as a fusion material, he could avoid the bug's death and have its genes passed on. After all, personality can also be inherited through genetic inheritance.

Quickly gathering his monsters, he chose the skull donkey as the other monster and the fusing immediately commenced.
