Reincarnated Hero System-Chapter 52 Cool Orc!

Hearing Evan's question, the party finally snapped out of their stupor and moved out of the guild house after picking up their supplies.

The orc subjugation quest they had taken was a quest to subjugate a group of orcs living in the caves in nearby mountain, a cave of orcs was equal to one quest.

The two other quests that van had gotten from John were the exact same thing, with the same requirements and giving the exact same rewards too.

There were between 10-20 orcs per cave and as the caves were quite far apart, they hardly had contact with each other.

They took a carriage to the foot of the mountain that was beside the large border forest.

Upon getting down, they began climbing using the stairs created by the adventurer's guild to aid adventurers since this was a frequently used place.

After a few minutes they finally found a cave and prepared themselves to enter.

Evan flicked his fingers and summoned the Sword of Pride, instantly evoking a shocked reaction from the group, especially the blond-haired girl, she was a priest after all.

"T-that s-sword-"

"Shut it, will ya?

it's just a sword, what's the big deal?

I use it to kill monsters, and the occasional human that pisses me off so please don't be that occasional human."

'I guess I should start killing of all the priests I see if they have this reaction every time.'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' demands you should definitely not do that]

'Course I won't.'

Evan chuckled as he flashed a mischievous smile in the party leader's direction, allowing the older man to instantly figure out that Evan was only getting back at her for her earlier words.

He shook his head and cleared up the misunderstanding before gesturing for the party to enter the cave.

Upon doing so, it didn't take them long to find the orcs inside. There were about 15 in number, with one of them being slightly larger in size.

'Probably the leader of this group.'

They were feasting on meat, either that of a random wild animal they caught or the remains of an unfortunate adventurer.

Evan wasted no time in dashing towards the orcs, attracting their attention and causing them to attack him.

Sadly, for the orcs, Evan had comrades with him. In this party, there were two archers who did not slack off in doing their jobs.

One aimed at the Orc Leader and the other aimed at the orcs attacking Evan.

Evan made use of the time the archer earned him, shooting out with his sword and quickly decapitating an orc.

"Next!"

"Wow, you're doing great, mate!"

He ignored the group leader's shout and continued fiercely fighting off the attacking orcs.

"GROAAAARRR"

The Orc Leader's weird roar resounded throughout the cave as Evan heard the warrior fighting the Orc Leader letting out several grunts of pain.

"Healer!"

"I know! Healing!"

The blonde-haired priest girl responded with a healing spell, one that made Evan stop for a moment to analyse her spell with his mystic eyes.

'I might actually end up recruiting her for her skills despite her annoying attitude'

**BZZZTT!!!

"GROoo..."

Another orc took advantage of his absent-minded state to attack him from behind, however, there was no way that the lightning spirit on his shoulder would let it succeed.

"He can use magic too?!"

He dodged the glaive of another orc and slashed at it with an Aura blade, cutting through it like butter and going on to damage the wall lightly.

"Kuhahahaha! Orcs, RISE!"

At the Orc Leader's voice, a skill was activated and the orcs that were still alive, let out a rejuvenated cry and charged towards them.

"Tch...War cry."

Evan clicked his tongue and called out the orc leader's skill he remembered from the game while dashing towards it, killing the orc in his way with a single aura slash.

A female swordsman who was swinging her sword next to him yelled out and cursed.

She was one of the women from the same area as the blonde healer, one who used a rapier that fit her elegant appearance.

Realizing that you really can't judge a book by its cover, Evan silently attacked the Orc leader with his sword.

**WHOOSHH! WHOOSH!

The two archers aimed at the Orc leader's eyes without hesitation, with one arrow missing its mark and the other correctly piercing through the Orc leader's right eye.

This caused the Orc leader to hold its eye as it cried out miserably.

"KRRAAAA!"

It turned its literally bloodshot gaze to the Archer that fired the arrow and used Orc leader used its second skill, a sword blast. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

**WHAMM!!!

Even as it fired the skill multiple times, they were all able to dodge it with ease, having seen it before. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Sadly, right after it used the sword blast attack, it left itself wide open to receive an attack in kind.

In the end, the Orc leader fell, its throat pierced by the sword Evan had put all his strength into.

"Kuk, strong humans… good… fight…"

"This bastard's acting cool at the end."

Watching the Orc leader annoying him until the end, Evan kicked its head, not letting it finish what it was saying as it died miserably.

The party leader clapped and told him he did a great job, tapping him on the shoulder before going on to check on the others.

Evan nodded and turned his gaze to the notification in front of him with a smile.

[Level Up]

'Good, two more.'

◇　◇　◇

Evan left the party in the previous cave and went on to the next cave he sensed orcs in earlier. Immediately after entering, he charged towards the group of orcs, ignoring the armoured leader in the centre.

Evan could send the trash mob orcs' heads flying by just slashing with his weapon. He could also use Aura Slash to extend his reach temporarily.

"Kuaaa!"

Seeing his minions drop like flies, the Orc leader stretched its back and roared.

'He is using War cry!'

Although Evan could not sense the activation of a skill, he knew that it was using its war cry skill that rejuvenated and enhanced the strength of its minions.

'That's how they were in the game, after all.'

Unfortunately for it, Evan had already cut down more than half the orc leader's minions.
