I couldn’t tear the flesh of the orc with the bite strength of a cornered wolf, just as the orc warrior had said.
‘Come to think of it, humans aren’t the only ones who suffer from indigestion.’
Ardania has everything you would expect from a fantasy world. Magic and swordsmanship, holy maidens and witches, the Holy Empire and the Witch’s Castle, elves, dwarves, werewolves, evil spirits, undead, and so on.
The only problem is.
‘Weak.’
The reason why I don’t refer to the Ardania continent as a fantasy world and dismiss it as a medieval land is because of that. In Ardenia before [Revenge], the continent was a low-power world in terms of novels or games.
A Swordmaster is a legendary existence, and even if you can handle only Class 1 magic, you can live on as an official mage by relying on your shoulders. If you can handle Class 2 magic, you are a skilled wizard, and if you can handle Class 3 magic, you are called a high-ranking wizard. What kind of fantasy world is that?
Because it was such a weak world, the demons (魔獸) were literally at the top of the food chain.
So that’s how it was until now.
“Keng!”
“Kheung!”
“Kongkong!”
The cornered wolves, who had been eagerly attacking, now howled in confusion. There were only ten orcs here, but the cornered wolves, who seemed to be more than their numbers, were being killed one after another.
‘If a cornered wolf that can be seen with horns can be equivalent to ten demons, then it means that even a hundred demons would have a hard time dealing with ten orcs.’
In other words, if I can survive against a hundred demons here.
‘Even if I meet a thousand demons, I can survive!’
Kwang!
“It’s the enemy!”
“It’s a human bastard!”
“Fix the formation!”
As I rushed in, beheading one orc’s neck, half of the orcs focused on fighting the cornered wolves and the rest approached me.
And a strange notification popped up in my head.
[Critical hit!]
[You have defeated an orc warrior!]
[Orc Warrior (300) + Goddess’s Blessing 700% (2100) + New User Bonus (300) = 2700 experience points have been gained!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
…
[Health and mana regeneration have increased by 15 points!]
My level jumped from 1 to 15 in an instant. I turned off the detailed notifications even though I was in a hurry. I couldn’t keep checking the experience points history during battle.
‘So I level up because I have a job. But a critical hit?’
I wondered for a moment, but it’s not a situation where I can afford to worry about such things.
Jjeong! Kkang!
[Parry success!]
As I swung my flying sword, the orc’s posture collapsed as the missed sword cut through the air. I used to try to avoid collisions as much as possible when fighting before, but now there’s no need to do that anymore.
Because my strength is no longer inferior to these orc guys.
Kwadeuk!
[Critical hit!]
[You have defeated an orc warrior!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
My outstretched sword pierced his heart and blood spurted out as I pulled it out. I twisted my body and dodged the pouring blood and attacks, and then I swung at another orc’s neck and passed by.
[Critical hit!]
The orc warrior grabbed his neck and sat down. Unfortunately, I couldn’t cut it off, but even tough orcs like him would not be able to participate in a battle after receiving such a fatal injury.
“So all of them are critical hits? Since the sword pierced the heart, it will definitely be a critical hit!”
I laughed and kicked the ground and jumped.
Kwung!
I flew diagonally for almost 5 meters. I stabbed my longsword into the neck of the orc warrior who was bewildered from a distance.
[Critical hit!]
[You have defeated an orc warrior!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
“Hahaha!”
Laughter burst out. The battles in the state of increased stats were completely different from before. There is no need for me to desperately break the enemy’s center, wait for opportunities, and avoid attacks and step back to observe the flow because of my lack of strength!
“Great! I feel so good! Is this the world that abilities see!”
I felt a sense of liberation as if wings were attached to my back. The frustration I felt in the previous battles seemed to disappear completely!
[Reached level 21!]
[You have been given 10 free stat points!]
“Free stat points.”
I looked around at the orcs.
