Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Ryu looked around the settlement and just in case maybe they abducted some humans, looking around the settlement, Ryu was able to find a jail like cave, he then flew higher up into the sky where he was sure the orcs can't see him anymore, he turned his body into wind and went towards that prison jail.

Ryu arrived at the entrance of the jail that was being guarded by 10 orcs wearing full armors, they were still alert from his appearance earlier but they can't still see him, Ryu ignored them and went inside, the cave was very dark with only few torches lighting up the place, as he entered deep inside a pungent smell entered his nose, Ryu closed his nose as he dived deeper.

He then stumbled upon a door, he looked at the hole near the door and saw something very gross, he won't go into details as it was pure gross, 'Not this one,' he thought then continued looking around, it took him 40 minutes to explore the cave and found nothing.

Maybe the other places, Ryu thought, he entered every tents and caves available, he found no signs of human on the place, still his exploration isn't fruitless, he found tons of treasures around the place and placed it inside his inventory after scavenging all he could find, Ryu left and floated in the sky again, the orcs was able to see him again as Ryu removed his invisibility, they started throwing stones at him again.

"Just to be safe, I will attack from distance," Ryu said as he looked down at the enemies, he then raised his hands and pointed his palm towards the camp, his palm started to heat up and turn into red color, what he was doing is gathering all of the fire energy from his body and make it into one single point.

He kept doing this for a few more minutes before the temperature around him started to change and the cold air started to heat up, Ryu looked down at the orcs that still kept throwing rocks at him, 'I have no remorse to those who are my enemy, they shall perish from depths of the world and burn by fire,' he chanted in his mind.

'Fallen Fire,'

*Swooosh

A concentrated light of fire charged towards the ground and entered deep in the middle of the settlement, nothing happened for a few seconds that the orcs smirked at him, but a few moments later, light started to shine out from the ground enveloping everything around them, it was blinding that the orcs closed their eyes.

*Boom!

A loud explosion came out and a pillar of fire rose from the ground, the orcs bellow weren't able to scream from pain as they immediately turned into nothing, not even ashes remained, Ryu looked at them without any expressions showing on his face, his eyes then landed on a figure that was standing tall, it was enduring the flames that burned its skin, a few moments later, the fire died down.

The once orc settlement with many orcs now turned into nothing but a burned land, still, there was a last figure standing, it was panting as its skin was burned from the flames, smoke was coming out from its body, Ryu raised his hands and slashed it towards the orc lord that was still standing.

A compressed air blade charged towards the orc king, the orc lord haven't any strength left to defend itself as its head separated away from its body, Ryu then slowly landed on the ground near the head of the orc and picked it up, he then flew away again going back to the kingdom.

He didn't put it at his inventory and just kept grabbing it with his hands, Ryu landed to a place not too far away from the gates and after checking no one saw him, Ryu proceeded to enter the gate, the head he was carrying caught the attention of many, the guards only looked at him with wide eyes.

Ryu continued walking towards the guild and entered inside it, he walked towards the reception where the receptionist who tried to stop him earlier froze seeing what he was carrying, Ryu put the head of the orc lord on the counter.

"Is this enough for me to level up?" Ryu asked.

"L-Let me ask the guild master," the receptionist said and looked at the orc lord head one last time before going away.

Ryu nodded and sat on a chair, he closed his eyes as he felt exhausted from using a large scale attack like that, he may be powerful but using skills like that would drain him, still, 'I want to fight something stronger,' he thought, the reason why he said it was interesting is because the number and the orc lord, actually he expected more from it but guess too much expectation.

Anyways with this I would be able to rank up and know more about this place, I haven't heard any news from the other members yet, maybe they were in another continent or something, as he was thinking he heard a voice.

"Who defeated the orc lord!?" She yelled.

"Me," Ryu raised his hand.

"A F rank adventurer defeating an orc lord? Are you kidding me?" she said while looking at him.

Ryu looked at her and stood up, he was taller than the girl, "Haha no, maybe you're joking yourself," Ryu said.

"Brat, don't try me," she said.

"I won't you are too old for my taste," Ryu said.

She smirked and raised her fist, "Then die!"
