[In the Southern Continent of Leighnburg.]
“Gosh these monsters are fucking disgusting.” My teammate said as blood leaked from his hand.
His yellow mark wrapped around neck.
“Von, they are also living beings too. Don’t be so mean.” I told him as I deactivated my spell which pulled the spiked boulders from the two gorilla like monsters and retracted back into the ground.
“Seline, you’re too… I don’t know. These will kill us if we don’t kill them first.” Von said as he approached me.
He lifted his hand and tried to place it on my cheek and I would’ve let him if the blood wasn’t there so I quickly backed away.
“Don’t touch me until you clean your hands first.” My tone became colder as I looked at his hand.
“Unbelievable…” Von retracted his hand as he looked around.
“I hear a waterfall near us, I’ll be right back.” He quickly walked towards the direction of the waterfall.
Von and I are in the middle of a forest, we’ve been following this road for a few days now, it didn’t take long for us to reach rank C2 so now we’re traveling.
We’re looking for other contestants or rather, teammates.
So far we’ve only found opponents from other teams.
We’ve killed them of course… about 5 of them.
Half of them weren’t as strong as us.
Oddly enough we didn’t find our teammates during this journey.
Ugh…
Well to be honest…
I kind of like it this way, just the two of us.
Me and Von
Von and Me.
He’s handsome as well, he has beautiful coiled hair which goes to his shoulders.
He’s attentive and has a deep soothing voice.
It’s only been a few weeks but I’m steadily falling in love with him.
[==]
Seline is a very odd woman, one minute these monsters are also living beings so it’s mean to call them nasty, the next I can’t touch her with their blood on my hands.
Hmm, maybe that’s different
Still that type of attitude is kinda interesting, I love her personality is alluring.
The same as her beautiful face, it’s a natural beauty that not even the yellow that spread on the left side of her face can obstruct.
Her blonde, silky, long hair is almost like a beautiful gold.
And her voice is that of an angel.
I hope we don’t find our teammates because they’ll only interrupt our solitude.
I calmly turned around and saw two orcs.
There were another four standing behind them.
I knew it, for some reason I developed an automatic enhancement spell that was… well it’s self explanatory it’s a body enhancement skill.
It strengthens all of my senses and every muscle.
I can- “It’s a human, I would’ve thought it was another of our kind.” The orc said…
No this isn’t an orc.
It’s intelligence and height which is just a half a dozen feet taller than me.
Then this group must… “A family of High Orcs or is it just a squad?” I asked as I looked at them.
I wonder how much intelligence they really have.
“We’re a squad of high orcs. We should leave a poor thing like you but leaving any human whose laid eye on us, is against-”
I interrupted his long speech.”You’re an A4+ rank monster so that means bringing your bodies to the next guild will bump us up a few rankss… shit with all of you, we’ll just skyrocket to B3 or higher.” I tried to count the ranks in my head but this opportunity is too great to miss.
“Your insolen-” Once again, I interrupted him before he could finish his sentence, I grabbed his head and slammed him into the ground.
It doesn’t take long to activate my spell, just a simple thought will do.
Then with the enhancement spells in my grimoire, within the moment of activation my body will be enhanced giving me 200x the amount of strength I already have.
However the second I slammed the first High Orc, the rest of it’s… “Squad” immediately started to attack, the range even with the iron clubs is great and they are fast.
I’m only dodging by a tiny bit of an inch but there are five of them.
I’ll send a few towards Seline.
Just as I dodge the last batch of attacks, I rush towards one of the High Orc stabs further behind the rest, my speed is also enhanced as a passive element within my spell.
I’m just a few seconds faster than them.
But I need to land every attack so the moment I got within an inch from it, my fist landed directly on its stomach.
I had enough strength to completely push the High Orc off of its feet to send it flying into the direction of Seline.
She’ll most definitely be able to handle herself, I’d like to send a few more but it’ll take some time.
“Stand down.” The first high orc that I attacked stood up while laughing as if he was enjoying this.
“I will take this human on myself.” The other Orcs quickly backed away.
“One on one?” I asked as I looked towards the first high orc.
“Yes.” He raised his arms, facing his palms to the sky.
“I am Kiyrect, Captain of the High Orc who stands before you.”
“I am Von Hernandez…. Apprentice of General Ekureles.” I responded as I got into a fighting stance.
My hands up to protect my face, my right foot angled while my second foot is behind it, putting enough between my feet that I can pull my right foot back as much as I want. Read this novel at novelping(.)com for the best experience.
My knees are slightly bent as I look at Kiyrect over my fist.
“Shall we start?” Kiyrect doesn’t take a stance.
“..” I nodded in agreement.
Seconds later he disappeared from his spot, than reappeared in front of me, his fist blocking my entire vision.
I could only block with my arms as his attack was too fast.
Right after that attack, Kiyrect threw a left hook, then a right, next he threw a heavy jab, two of them.
Then an overhead, suddenly his elbow shot towards me and unlike his prior attacks where I had to block.
My brain finally registered his speed and timing so I slipped under his elbow and went straight for his rib.
However it pivoted out of my way.
“You caught me off guard last time but it will now happen again!” Kiyrect said happily as he tried to land a roundhouse kick.
I ducked his kick, ignoring his words as I dropped my body to the ground and swung my legs to sweep him off the ground.
The moment he lost his balance, I used my hands to lift my body up, raising my legs high to slam my heel into Kiyrect.
Unfortunately he recovered quickly and grabbed my leg before that could happen and tossed me to a random tree.
I flipped to reposition myself in the air as I landed my feet on the tree.
I quickly launched myself by jumping off of the tree, I flew back towards High Orc- Kiyrect but instead of completing the attack I pulled myself to the ground by stomping my feet.
“Come on!” He shouted excitedly, none of us managed to land a decent hit on each other yet.
I need to kill this beast before I head back to Seline.

“Oh!” I said in a shocked tone as something crashed into the carriage.
It pushed me around roughly as I was lying inside the carriage.
Thinking it was one of the monsters before I quickly got off the carriage with my grimoire by my side… only to see a High Orc sitting with its back leaning against the carriage.
“A human woman? This thing doesn’t look strong enough to deal with a family of Ursi.”
There was another squad of High Orcs behind me, I didn’t notice them until they spoke even though they stood in the middle of the road.
I look in the direction of Von to check his mana and sure enough, he’s also fighting.
“You, woman-human, surrender yourself so we shall use you to be our garden to bear fresh fruit.” The high Orc said it had long burgundy hair and four arms with two axes in the lower arms.
“….” I activated a spell beneath the High Orc that crashed into the carriage, the spell created a hole that was big enough to perfectly swallow the monster before it realizes.
It was a deep hole that was sealed immediately after swallowing its target.
I tried to cast the same on the entire squad behind me, all of the jumpers out of the way before it could swallow them.
“This little thing is a strong mage, keep close range content and don’t do enough to kill her.” The High Orc captain said as he landed in front of me.
“…” I didn’t even bother to reply, instead I activated another spell.
It was an elemental terrain spell which had a radius of 80 kilometers.
So I have complete control over the earth within the radius for as long as I have mana but my mana is nearly infinite.
