Orc Mutant (2)

The Mutant Orc raised its axe in the air. When the monster was about to crush it to Wang Mei and Chen Wei, about twenty armoured Hunters bumped into the monster's legs.

Thud!

The Mutant Orc was pushed a few steps away. The monsters didn't stand still. They quickly charged at the horde of humans that attacked their boss.

"Rarrrrgh!"

Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the reinforcements from the Blood Oath guild. Then, a grey-haired man in red armour came closer.

"You guys look fine," the grey-haired man quipped.

Wang Mei got up while spitting blood. "Thank you for ruining my plans, Zhang Gang. You made me lose the opportunity I was waiting for."

The man's eyebrows arched. In his eyes, Wang Mei and Chen Wei had no hope of surviving if he didn't come to help them. 

Even though Wang Mei quibbled, she realized that she had messed up; she underestimated the opponent and got hit hard. The Alpha this time felt different from the ones she had fought before.  

"Yes, yes. Rank S or not, defeating that monster alone is impossible. Looks like the Alpha this time is different from usual. We have to work together."

Based on Zhang Gang's observation, the monster had a large body yet very agile movements. Not to mention the skin was very thick and hard, and it had extraordinary strength.

Twenty-five of Zhang Gang's men and the members of the Nine Sky guild ganged up on the monster, but they still couldn't defeat the monster. They were overwhelmed by its strength. Usually, mobilizing around 20 C-rank Hunters was enough to defeat the Alpha, but even after they teamed up with another guild, the monster still stood majestically .

This had never happened before.

The man was sure that something was wrong with the Monster Break this time, and Wang Mei also thought the same thing. Thus, she accepted Zhang Gang's offer to cooperate.

"Yes," Wang Mei replied with a spit. "We'd better finish it off before Blue Pegasus comes." 

The man named Zhang Gang smiled broadly at her response. 

After that, they quickly jumped back onto the battlefield. The battle this time was orderly.

Zhang Gang, the guildmaster of Blood Oath, gave instructions to his men to set up a battle formation. Fifteen of his men circled and left an empty space in the middle. They were tasked with separating the Alpha from the other monsters. 

So that Zhang Gang, Wang Mei, and those who were fighting against the Alpha directly didn't get any interference from the outside.

"Focus on locking the movements of the monster!" Wang Mei exclaimed.

Then, the twenty members of Nine Sky aimed for the legs of the giant monster. While the remaining 10 Hunters from Blood Oath, which were Marksman and Caster, tried to distract the two heads of the Mutant Orc. They were also tasked with making sure it didn't roar.

Various attacks landed on the Mutant Orc's body, and none of them could seriously injure the monster. However, the longer the fight happened, the 10 metres tall monster became more and more overwhelmed with the hunters' attacks.

After about 10 minutes of enduring the barrage of attacks, the Mutant Orc accidentally dropped the axe that had become one of its weapons. Then, the monster fell down in a sitting condition.

Thud!

"There it is!"

Zhang Gang shouted loudly, planning to order his men to attack. However, Wang Mei, who realized it first, dashed off without thinking about Zhang Gang and their deal.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

"Arrrgh!"

Thousands of slashes of blades ripped the arm of the Mutant Orc that was trying to cover its face. 

Zhang Gang, who didn't want to lose, rushed to aim for the two-headed Orc.

Splat! Splat!

The greatsword slashed repeatedly, trying to rip open the Mutant Orc's stomach.

Another Hunter in charge of locking the movements and diverting the attention of other monsters also attacked the Mutant Orc.

"Keep attacking! Don't give it a chance to roar!"

Stab! Stab! Stab!

The Hunters began to show an optimistic expression, especially Wang Mei and Zhang Gang. They were both confident of winning against this monster.

The Mutant Orc's condition really looked pitiful. Its entire body was covered in wounds and blood. It looked like a dying dog that was about to die.

At least, that was how it looked. When they felt superior, that was when the beginning of their downfall.

"Eh? What?"

Suddenly, the monster's body was boiling. Wang Mei, who realized that, immediately stopped the attack and took a step back.

"What are you doing!?" Zhang Gang shouted at Wang Mei. His face showed confusion.

Wang Mei did not answer and ordered her men to retreat. In that instant, the monster's body split in two.

"Huh?"

The two 10 metre tall orcs rose before them. Now, Wang Mei understood why the monster had two heads.

RAAAAAWWWRG!

The two Orcs roared fiercely, and instantly the humans around them froze from the deafening sound.

"Uaargh!"

Now, it was the two giant Mutant Orcs's turn to attack the Hunters.

Swosh! Splat! Splat! Three members of Nine Sky died.

Splat! Splat! Five members of Blood Oath died.

"No!"

Zhang Gang screamed as his comrades turned into lumps of flesh without souls. When he was in shock at the death of his comrades, his body was kicked by one of the Mutant Orcs.

Wang Mei's eyes dilated as she watched Zhang Gang rolling away like a soccer ball. The man was thrown into the sea of ​​monsters, and dozens of monsters surrounded him right away as if they feasted on him. 

It wasn't just Wang Mei who watched that scene, dozens of Blood Oath members also watched it as well. Their faces turned deathly pale.

"No…"

Just as Wang Mei looked away, two giant Mutant Orcs stood before her. 

Her whole body trembled. For the first time since experiencing the awakening, she felt fear. At that moment, only one sentence came to her mind.

"I'm going to die…"

Bam!

One of the Mutant Orcs slammed its club. Dust scattered to the ground. All the Hunters who witnessed that were completely shocked.

"Wang Mei!"

Chen Wei called out his guildmaster's name, brimming with emotion. He continued to watch the fog of dust expectantly. In his heart, he wished there was a voice calling him back, but no answer at all.

"No way… no… she's one of the Six Stars. There's no way she's… dead."

The Blood Oath Hunter Guild began to disperse. They went to protect their guildmaster.

"Hey! Don't go!"

However, they didn't listen. As a result, the isolation area disappeared, thousands of monsters came rushing in. The Nine Sky members immediately gathered on Chen Wei.

"Captain! Let's get out of here immediately!"

"No! I can't leave her behind," Chen Wei refused.

"Captain, clear your mind! The guildmaster was dead. It was impossible to survive the attack."

Chen Wei bit his lip. He already knew what had happened, but it was still hard to accept the fact.

The man then nodded. "Okay, let's retreat and secure Miss Wang Yi."

After that, they quickly retreated through the sea of ​​monsters.

On the other hand, the face of the Mutant Orc hitting the club on Wang Mei looked strange. The scattered brown dust began to thin out. Not long after, everything was gone, and the scene was clearly visible. 

A man with glasses in a neat black suit embraced Wang Mei. Wang Mei was surprised to find herself in a man's arms. She looked at the man questioningly. 

"Who are you?"

The man just smiled and said, "Isaac Constantine. Your new owner."
