My strength and magic Power drastically rose, which resulted in my muscles having an intense pain due to this transition. I was feeling myself becoming stronger.
If I had done the same against that guy, then would I have won?
No matter how I thought about it, the answer never changed. The answer was obviously no. The strength of that guy was so extremely high that I wouldn't have been able to leave a scratch on him if I had done this before.
[You have received 10cc for killing an orc.]
This time it was a real dungeon, so of course I'll get the rewards for killing monsters. The glitched one was really glitched.
I clenched my fists, and flames got around my fists. My magic power has reached level 16, which means it's level 6 now. It leveled up by 3, so I should check how powerful my flames have become.
Only one orc had come forward before, but now all of them charged at me at once. I held my breath as I looked behind towards the orcs.
As soon as I looked behind, a fierce force shook through my body, and I fell on the ground while I coughed blood.
The moment I touched ground, an orc threw a large punch at me, which threw me vertically upward. First my head felt the solid ceiling, then my whole body touched the ceiling, and no cracks appeared this time.
You can measure someone's strength by seeing how big of a crack can be made on the wall from their punch. The murim guy didn't even punch, and yet he was able to make a whole wall break into several pieces.
I can't even think how much stronger his punch would be.
I started falling on my head. My eyes were focused on the ground. I was in deep thought, thinking what type of attack would help me to kill these orcs. My magic power was already good, which meant I could use Fire Element Lvl. 1 perfectly without any problem.
But how? I had already written Han Seeyoung using Fire Element in multiple ways. But none of the attacks he manifested could be implied in this.
If only, if only he had lived over 1000 chapters, then maybe I could have known what to do in this situation. I looked at the ring in my hand, and multiple types of weapon designs flowed into my brain.
A scythe? Shield? Chainsaw? Spear? Bow and arrow?
No. They are useful weapons, but I need to switch the weapons instantly, as I can't fight with one item constantly.
The orcs on the ground were raising their hands in the air to catch me. They were planning to do something brutal to take revenge for their brother.
[Fire Element Lvl. 1 is now activated.]
It would be perfect.
I used the fire element and created a flaming scythe thanks to the ring I bought before. I tilted my body in the air to use this scythe properly.
I locked my eyes on one of the orc's hands and—
"Hraaaghh!!"
Swung the scythe.
The scythe got stabbed in the orc's hand, and it cried with pain.
"kragh…"
Suddenly an orc grabbed my leg midair and threw me with force on the ground. "Hyaaghh!"
The other orcs backed down. The flaming scythe that was stuck in the orc's hand disappeared, leaving burn marks.
The orc who threw me on the ground noticed something. That the enemy wasn't down. The enemy was lying on the ground peacefully, like nothing happened.
"This much force is enough for me to survive."
I stood up while the other orcs were looking at me with surprise. I didn't have a single scratch from the attack. Meanwhile, there was a flaming armor around my body.
I used the ring and converted the flames into an armor to protect me in a short amount of time. The flaming armor started revolving and became a sphere of flames and started floating above my finger.
It then transformed into a sword, which I knew perfectly.
[You have made an item that isn't supposed to be in First Dreamer's delusion.]
[You can only use the item for 10 minutes.] [A penalty will be applied if you don't change the item in 10 minutes.]
'Flame Reaper,' a B-rank sword that was sold in the auction for 30,000 cc during the Third Dreamer's Delusion.
It's a normal sword, but it's a deadly item for mid- to low-rated species. I can make a higher item, but my body won't be able to use it properly as I'm not qualified for that.
Every item above A rank needs to qualify who is worthy of using the item. I won't be qualified on my current stats, so either I'll be penalized or will handle several injuries due to the item.
[You can only use 20% of the item's power.]
20% isn't enough to kill every orc here, but it'll be enough to buy some time.
I opened and closed my eyes while looking at the flaming sword, which was in my bloody hands. I saw that the gloves I bought from the store had already burned.
I never got to use it completely. It was a waste to buy it.
I then looked at the orcs standing in front of me. Standing behind me. In simple words, the orcs were going to attack me from every single direction now.
I tightened the grip of my sword as more flames started erupting from my legs.
[You're using way too much magic power.] [More use will lead to several damages to your soul.]
[The Void- Are you going for real?]
"Yeah."
I answered without thinking for a second.
It's really surprising that the orcs aren't attacking at all. Usually they attack quickly, but now they are standing still and looking at me. Maybe they are waiting for their prey to attack them first.
It doesn't seem possible for the orcs to be this patient, but it was happening for real in front of me. They didn't want to lose their brothers, so they had decided to not be reckless.
This was truly brotherhood.
"Void."
[ The Void- What? ]
"I said, I'll make you interested in these stuffs, right?"
[ The Void- yeah, so what? I'm still getting bored. ]
I raised the sword towards the orcs.
"The Endless Dream will turn intersting from here."
I started running towards the orcs while my hands were completely stretched out backward. I lifted my right hand, which had the Flaming Sword, a bit forward while I put my left hand on the sword to tighten the grip.
The orcs behind me charged at once and started chasing me. The orcs from right and left also started running towards me. And the orcs in front of me were standing still, waiting for me to come into their attack zone. "Graaahhh!!"
"Kraaaaghhhh!!!"
The flames had started to burst more from my sword, and finally, I swung the sword in front of the orcs in front of me.
"Haaa!"
It was a normal swing in the air, but the flames needed air, and the air needed flames. A lot of flames burst from the sword and flew towards the orcs.
The orcs panicked and started swinging their fists in the flames.
"Hurghh!!"
"Hurrrgghh!!"
I quickly looked behind and changed the shape of the sword into a scythe and swung it towards the bellies of the orcs. I sliced their bellies as quickly as possible.
"Nghhh...!!!"
"GRAHHHKKK!!"
"GURGHH!!"
Their cry of pain filled the dungeon, and I then quickly switched to the right side and did the same there.
I sliced their bellies while some tried to resist it by putting their hands between, but nothing worked as I sliced everything that came in my way.
[Your Mana Power will run out soon.]
I don't have much time...! I need to
"HAARGHHHH!!"
In rage I sliced the whole body of an orc in two different parts. My hands had started trembling. The pain was increasing. My muscles were feeling like they would burst any moment now.
I was coughing blood already, but that was not enough —
Not enough to take me down yet.
I quickly looked behind me and changed my scythe into a shield because I saw an orc powering up a powerful punch. "GRAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
The punch hit the shield, and it absorbed the whole hit completely. The orc looked in front, but suddenly a lot of sharp, pointed tentacles showed up from his fist.
I converted the shield into a lot of tentacles. And stabbed it deep into the orc's fist. "Aghhh—!"
The orc fell on its knees in complete pain while it kept increasing the number of tentacles constantly.
"GRAAHHHKK!!"
They kept increasing inside its body and started to make it hollow. The blood was dripping in a constant flow as I smirked at his helplessness.
Why…? Why…? Why was I finding it fun to torture a weakling like this…? What type of fun is this…? Am I no longer a human…?
Several thoughts gathered in my head. I was lost in thought while another punch came flying towards my head.
It threw me downwards at the ground.
"Ack—!"
My flow of flames disrupted, and the tentacles started burning in fire. Most of the tentacles had spread completely inside the orc, and they started burning him from inside.
The orc screamed in pain. "AAAGRAAHHH!!!"
I coughed blood as I stood up and saw an orc standing in front of me. He was the one who punched me. Behind him, other orcs were sitting and trying to set off the fire that was burning the orc.
"AAAGRAHHHH!!!"
I wiped the blood coming from my nose and looked straight into the orc's eyes.
...
My eyes widened as I suddenly realized that I was surrounded by other orcs too. I had only dealt a small amount of damage to them to buy a little time.
I quickly looked behind and saw a bunch of large bodies standing right in front of my eyes.
I was surrounded.
They had all surrounded me, and there was no place left for me to run. I saw behind, in front, left, and right. Everywhere I looked, there were only big bodies of orcs standing looking down at me.
Why do I keep getting into trouble...?
I just realized how big their hands were. Their hands were big enough to crush my head.
Seonyeon…? Anna…? Minjae…? Hyunwoo…? Where are you…?
I was abandoned.
[ Your task "Number of souls collected" will be restored in 3 minutes. ]
[ Kindly collect some souls in 3 minutes. ]
How…? Just how…?
Multiple hands had started to reach for my head. Everything around me had started to get dark as those big hands started gathering above me.
Just how…?
Tears appeared from my eyes as I started begging them for mercy.
"No!!! Please, no! Don't do it!! Please!! I beg you! I won't kill anyone anymore!! Please! Have mercy!! I want to be alive!!"
"AARGHHH NO NO NO NO NO DON'T DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON MY HEAD!! NO NO NO, DON'T BREAK IT, DON'T BREAK IT!!!"
Their hands were on my neck and on my head. They started pulling out my whole neck. Some of their hands were in my mouth trying to break the whole jaw.
"NO NO NO NO!! PLEASE NO!! ARGHHH!! NO NO NO…!! PLEASE!?? ARGHHHH!!"
"AAARGHHHH!!! AARGHHH!! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!!!"
"SEONYEON!!! ANNNA!!? HE—"
My jaw broke completely. They put their hands in my eye sockets and pulled out my eyeballs while the blood was pouring from my eye sockets. The nerves sticking to my eyeballs were also pulling out with them.
Their hands reached for my nostrils. They pulled it upwards and broke the whole bone with it.
I couldn't speak but I was screaming in my head
ARGHHHH!!! NO NO NO!! SOMEONE!? SOMEONE PLEASE SOMEONE. SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME!! PLEASE!!
They twisted my arms and took them out of my body. Same with my legs.
***
"Anna."
"Yeah, Seonyeon."
"Where's Hong? I've been asking for so long now."
"I told you he went out to become stronger. He said he'll come back in 10 days with Chaeyoung."
Seonyeon's eyes sparkled. "So he went to rescue Chaeyoung!"
"Yeah~"
She jumped in joy. "Yay, Hong is really so nice~"
Anna smiled while going to Hyunwoo and Minjae. She whispered. "You took care of him?"
"Yeah, we applied Sound Barrier on the dungeon. No one will be able to save him."
Anna gave a small smile. "That's good."
***
Finally, they pulled my neck completely out of my body. Next they started putting their hands inside my body through my neck.
Some had already started to eat my body, while some were scratching it constantly to get the organs.
[You have died.]
