"Alright everyone. We don't know what we're up against, so we should stay alert." Park Heejin states, before trying to ease their worries as it would be ineffective in combat. "But remain calm, we've got Grimmjow."

"Hmm." Grimmjow hums with a nod. "And the things in the dungeon feels like those... Orcs? that I fought last time." He announces.

"Last time?" Park Heejin questions.

"Oh I know!" a Newbie says excitedly. "It's the dungeon break that happened last week. It was all over the news." He explains.

"Yes those monsters, but these ones feel like the stronger ones of the race." Grimmjow states as they reach a split in the caves.

Not stopping for a second, Grimmjow walks to the middle split.

"Stronger Orcs..?" Park Heejin mutters. "It can't be." She exclaims as sweat gathers at her forehead.

"Raaaah!" a Deep shout is heard, causing the team to look forward and spot a red skinned Orc.

"a High Orc." Park Heejin lets out in fear. "They are the strongest type of orcs and each one is powerful enough to contend with an A-Rank Hunter. As a result, they are seen as highly dangerous and generally only appear in top-tier A-Rank Gates." She explains.

"Team leader." Grimmjow calls out to Park Heejin as he still stares at the slowly approaching orc, his back turned to the team. "Is this still a practice run for your team?" He asks.

"What..? No." Park Heejin replies, but as her words ended, Grimmjow vanished before appearing behind the orc with his sword drawn.

*Pchui*

Grimmjow stabs his sword into the orc's back, straight through it's heat, instantly killing it.

"Good." Grimmjow speaks as the orc falls, enabling him to look at the team. "I'll get you out of here." He states and turns around after feeling the ground shake a little. "More are coming! Stay back!"

a Few meters in front of Grimmjow and co., a group of orcs immerge from different tunnels in the cave.

Silence descends in the cave as the orcs and humans stare at each other.

"Waaaaah!" The orcs cry out before starting to rush towards Grimmjow.

(Grimmjow POV)

There's a lot of them.

"Haaah." I exhale and raise my sword, staring down on the orcs coming for me.

I use Sonido and stop in front of the leading orc. Redirecting the downwards strike he gave, I push his blade away and slice his neck.

Their senses are sharp, but they're slow.

I glance to my left and dodge the axe aiming for my neck before jumping to dodge the blunt weapon that was thrown at me. As my feet touch the ground, I use Sonido once more and behead an axe wielder.

Speed is my advantage.

I block the blade coming from my right and glance to my left, spotting two sword wielding orcs slashing towards me.

I reach my left arm out and grab past the orc that I blocked 's hand. Putting some strength into my arm, I pull the orc and put him between me and the two orcs.

*Shing*

The two blades cut through the orc. One blade beheading him, while the other gets stuck in the orc's chest.

"Hmph." I let out as I kick the body of the orc into the two orcs before I launch myself at one, ignoring the other one as he had his blade stuck in the body's chest.

The orc I'm rushing to raises it's sword, preparing to crush me beneath it's blade. I swing my blade horizontally, cutting off half of the orc's raised arms before bringing my blade back and beheading it.

Not wasting time, I Sonido to the back of the other orc and place my palm on his lower back as I'm crouched.

"Cero." I mutter and a ball of crimson energy forms in front of my hand before blasting through the orc's stomach.

(3rd POV)

"My god..." a Newbie mutters while spectating Grimmjow cutting through the different orcs in a minute. It all happened too fast for them. "Powerful." He states.

"No..." Park Heejin replies, getting the attention of the team, who looked at her questioningly. "He's holding back. If you look closely, you'll see that he isn't even a bit winded even after all that." She explains. "And if I'm correct... He's using this for practice." Her words caused the team to collectively gulp before looking back at Grimmjow's fight.

Grimmjow stands up and turns to the entrances that the orcs are coming through. "Come out." He commands, pointing his sword in the direction of an entrance in front of him, ignoring the other orcs who are still coming in waves.

"Kekeke." a Deep and creepy laugh echoes through the wall before loud footsteps could be heard.

Grimmjow narrows his eyes and stares at the approaching monster.

a Large and muscular green-skinned orc with long black hair, glowing red eyes, a large X-shaped scar on his chest, and dark red tattoos comes out of the entrance. He wields a gray sword with a brownish-yellow hilt and wore a tattered black loincloth.

The red skinned orcs make way for the green skinned orc as he walks forward before stopping in front of the orcs while looking at Grimmjow.

Suddenly the green orc raises it's finger and points at itself before pointing at Grimmjow.

Grimmjow straightened his back and raised his sword. "Alright." He says, causing both him and the orc to vanish from everyone's sight.

*Clang!*

a Deafening sound of steel clashing rings out as Grimmjow and the orc appears between where they both were before swinging their swords at each other and vanishing once more, only for more and more sounds to echo throughout the cave as they appear somewhere to attack each other before vanishing.

"We're dead." One of the team members whispers to his teammates and points at the red skinned orcs. "Once they start moving, Hunter Grimmjow wouldn't have the time to help us while he's dealing with the Boss." He explains.

"Heh." a Condescending sound comes from one of the Assassin-Class Hunters. "Look closely dumbass." He says and points to where the latest sound of blades clashing came from.

Looking over, the team spots a head rolling.

"Wha-" The first teammate lets out only to be interrupted.

"You were right Team Leader Heejin." The Assassin states, his eyes still following the sparks and sounds of blades. "He's using this for practice. He lowered his strength to be on the same level as the green orc, but he knows that we can't handle the rest of the orcs, so he's leading the fight around the different red skinned orcs to kill them off while fighting."
