Chapter 21 - Fight against the Orc

"Good morning"

As soon as I woke up, I was greeted by Saemi who was lying next to me with a soft smile stamped on her face, quickly memories of last night come back into my head and I remember what Saemi and I did, as soon as I look at our bodies from under my jacket, I realize that we are both naked.

"Good morning"

I replied in the same tone as Saemi while showing a soft smile, after that Saemi and I got up and put on our clothes, we put them on while standing next to each other, kind of have nothing else to hide so no sense in hiding just to change clothes, while we were putting on our clothes the thoughts of what we were going to do today were going through my head, today both of us will go back to the second floor again and explore as much as we can, our main goal and find the boss area but we are not so confident that we will get there so easily, although I have a skill for locating weak points, I doubt it will help me find the weak point of something that is not even in sight.

"Are you ready?"

I asked Saemi as soon as I saw that she had already finished changing, we were still wearing the same clothes we wore when we went to school, so Saemi is still wearing her standard uniform with a skirt while I am wearing a pair of pants with the only difference being my black jacket.

"Yes"

With that sentence I nodded to Saemi and held her hand, within seconds a blue light enveloped us and when we opened our eyes again, we were in a swamp.

"All right, let's go"

Saying these words Saemi and I began to explore again the swamps of the second floor, as usual we were not finding anything that could indicate where the boss area was, both Saemi and I were beginning to think that the second floor might be much more spacious than the first floor, of course, we also thought about the possibility that we had found the boss on the first floor by chance, I mean we both didn't even explore the whole area of the second floor, there is no way to tell the exact size of the place.

With another day of frustration Saemi and I returned to the first floor, as there was still some time until dark Saemi and I decided to rest a bit, after a few minutes of conversation between me and Saemi my throat starts to get dry asking for water.

"I'm going to drink some water in the lake, I'll be right back"

I said getting up.

"Alright, take care"

Saemi said, after that I started walking to the lake, as the lake was relatively close to where Saemi and I were camping I wouldn't have to walk too far to get to the lake, in a few minutes I reached the lake where I quickly started drinking water, while drinking water I suddenly noticed that the water was shaking, as if something heavy was approaching, without thinking twice I ran to a nearby tree and stood behind it, in a few seconds I could notice that the surrounding area was actually shaking a little, there was something big and heavy approaching.

Spying a little to the side I finally got a glimpse of what was causing the tremors, a green monster that looked like a Goblin but much bigger had approached the lake, I was totally surprised by the sight.

(How on earth had Saemi and I not encountered this thing while exploring the forest?)

As this thought was going through my head the big monster that I decided to call an Orc crouched down and started drinking water.

(So, he came to drink water?)

If he had come to drink water then he probably wasn't after me, maybe this time I wouldn't have to fight, I would just have to wait for him to finish and leave, but unfortunately for me things never end the way I want them to, while I felt a relief inside me, I didn't realize that the Orc had approached, at that very moment he was looking directly at me.

"What?"

That was the only thing I could say before I had the tree, I was hiding in ripped apart by a huge brute force.

"Body armor"

Luckily, I managed to activate my defense skill before the Orc hit me with the tree he had ripped out, with the impact I flew a certain distance stopping only when I hit my body on a tree, but, although it might seem that my situation is extremely worrying due to the fact that I was slammed into a tree I am actually fine, or should I say, although I felt some pain it was not the pain I was expecting, i guess my Body Armor skill is a lot stronger than I was expecting, as several thoughts went through my head, I noticed that the monster was approaching me with a smile on his face.

(Is this bastard finding it funny that he can throw me around like a ball?)

I thought as a vein popped out of my forehead.

"All right then, let's play a little"

I said as a wild grin appeared on my face.

"I'll use you as a guinea pig for my new power, hope you like it, Weak spot visualization"

As soon as I said that word suddenly my vision turned black and white, the monster was now transparent, inside it there was a part glowing red, it was pulsing energy, somehow as I looked at that red pulsation inside the Orc I could feel it, that was its weak point.

"Dark manipulation"

Saying those words, a black sword appeared in my hand.

"Flame"

Again, saying another word my sword was consumed by fire.

"Fast step"

Saying that last word I quickly appear behind the Orc, as I am behind him, I realize that he was looking everywhere possible, probably trying to find me, with a smile on my face, I decide to finish off the enemy, with a quick strike my sword goes through the weak point of the Orc making him fall lifeless to the ground.

"Whew"

With a sigh a sarcastic smile is present on my face.

(Can I call myself a cheat?)

Putting that thought out of my mind I use my ability on the Orc.

"Gluttony"

I said while pointing at the monster, after the whole process an extremely strong new skill enters my arsenal.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE ACQUIRED THE SKILL (REGENERATION)
