******************************************************

Vincent arrived at the entrance of the forest and opened the bag that he's carrying. It was a bag that the Inn owner gave to him.

Vincent didn't know that he would fight orcs this soon. He wasn't planning on stressing his muscles until he developed.

Take note that Vincent body is only a 15-year-old kid. He lacked the stamina and strength to fight orcs.

Even though he noticeably grown a little stronger this past 2 weeks of training. His body more or less accustomed to wielding a sword. His overall combat strength is lacking.

'Status'

[Name: Vincent]

[Class: None

[Skills: Inferior Martial Skeletal]

[Circulation of Heaven Qi Cultivation Method(2)]

[Star chaser sword Technique(2)]

[Thunder steps Cultivation Method(2)]

[Bronze Skin Cultivation Method(2)]

[Rock Body Smashing Cultivation Method(2)]

Vincent's all skills are now level 2.

These were all he's accomplishment for the past 2 weeks. His attainments in wielding a sword grew the fastest. Due to him having the experience. But his body couldn't bring the force to execute as his 'Bronze Skin' and 'Rock Body' barely progresses. With that using the 'Thunder Step' prove to be difficult too.

He wasn't that prepared as he was going to wait half a year before fighting orcs. Vincent knew that recklessness leads to early death.

He knew it because he died due to it. And he didn't want to die again. Thus, he would prepare thoroughly for any possible dangers in this life. And it would be an EPIC ending if he was to get killed by Orcs.

But... this time. A rare opportunity befall upon him.

A Storage Artifact that rages around whooping 300,000 Pangesis would be something he couldn't easily resist.

Vincent pulled out a glass bottle from his bag. Shaking it a couple of times and opening it.

Vincent will concoct a poison. Using the ingredients that he got from the goblins. Poison that created using different kind of poisonous plants.

This poison that he's concocted is a Paralyze Poison. The poison if injected into a living organism, it would paralyze their entire body for about 5 minutes. And also... it works on Orcs.

Vincent knew this due to his past knowledge. During the periods where he lack strength. Only using tricks like this were only the way for him to survive.

Five throwing knives, Long Knife and his sword that were all coated in poison.

With this equipment, he was ready. Vincent then prepared himself for the worst and stood up.

He had already scouted the general location of the territory of the Orcs. Hunting goblins and rabbits were not the only thing he did.

Even though he knew their general location and patrolling routine, he still had to be careful. 5 Orcs for his current state would be hard.

...

An orc were passing by... he had an axe and no armor. It only had a worn piece of clothes. The Orcs in Genesis generally didn't have any pieces of equipment.

But in the end. Orcs only amounted to existence who competed with goblins. They lacked the intelligence to pose any real threat and could only rely on their strong body and brute strength.

However, underestimating them would be dangerous as they had a sharper instinct than goblins, plus they're strength.

Vincent lure them like he did with the goblins. But like the last time, Vincent chooses to not draw blood upon himself due to the orcs having sharper sense of smell.

Vincent choose to ambush them…

After brainstorming various ideas. He decided that ambushing is the best option. Vincent held his breath, ready to use the poison.

"Blood... I smell Blood"

5 patrolling orcs. It matches the information Pol gave to him. He probably knew that Vincent would target Patrolling orcs.

Five... he would like that split them up, but it's hard thing to do.

The orcs started sniffing the air. They sniff the wet ground where Vincent had previously peed.

Now???

No! Wait...

Vincent were lying on the ground. He had his body covered with mud and dug under the ground, camouflaging himself. A human ready to hunt.

"Human... smell"

"Human... where?"

"Gone...?"

The Orcs spoke to themselves.

Then...

It's time.

Vincent threw a rock behind the Orcs. The rock successfully landed behind the Orcs, making them startled and look behind.

As soon as their turn back. Vincent bolted out. Using the Thunder Step Technique, he quickly ran towards the nearest Orc. He used the Long Knife, stabbing the orc in the back of its head.

"Rookkk!"

The Orc screamed. Vincent stabbed hard as he could. Making the Long knife plunging into the head of the orc. Blood gushed out, but it's not considered a fatal wound. The blade was barely able to penetrate the clothe, losing most of its power to break through.

Without any hesitation, Vincent quickly let go of the knife. Not even trying to pull it back, as the poison already began spreading. The knife were coated with poison and it would spread through the orc's entire body.

'Only Four left'

"Human!"

"Kill!"

The remaining Orcs roared and charged together towards Vincent. Holding they're weapon, making a savage faces.

"Woo!"

Vincent sigh and pulled out two throwing knives. He began using Thunder Step again. He dove to the side, dodging the plunging axe. He threw the two knives.

Whissh!

Whissh!

Chii! Chii! The two knives successfully hit its target. Burrowing to the orcs skin. Vincent was not aiming for a death blow. Small wound would be enough for him. Then... Vincent ran.

"You Ant!"

An Orc screamed loudly and swung his axe down. Even though, an Orc can't cultivate Qi energy. Their strength was beyond normal. And if Vincent were hit, it would be a game over for him. Vincent can't currently block an attack like that.

His priority is not to get hit.

Vincent were in dangerous situation, as there were still 2 orcs left. Anyone of them could rip his body bare handedly. Vincent immediately ducked and rolled on to the ground, feeling the horror of the axe.

As he was rolling, Vincent pulled out a knife on his left hand and stood up before throwing it towards the orc.

The Orc block it with his axe, and it was enough distraction. Vincent then pulled out his sword, ready to battle with his life.

Whisshh!

Vincent sword stabbed through the Orc's chest.

Blood spurted out from the orcs mouth. And as he was attempted to pulled out his sword. Ominous feeling were foreboding him, and he saw an axe quickly coming towards him.

Vincent then desperately block the upcoming blow with his sword.

Cracked!

Like a broken glass, the sword broke...

"Sh*t!"

Vincent cursed but Nonetheless attack the orc.

Using the move Rising Star Rays from the Chasing Star Technique. His sword soar into the air, thrusting towards the orc. Even though the sword half was gone, he uses it like a spear and thrust.

The orc successfully dodge and was grazed in the chin. But he didn't give up. Vincent use his remaining strength at stab it through the orc's neck. Successfully paralyzing it.

Although Vincent were tired, one orc wasn't difficult to handle, easily killing it. He looked around his surroundings while breathing hard.

The one on his side were dead. Dead by his knife, after paralyzing it.

"Hayyss"

Vincent huff and laid down the ground. It was a stupid choice fighting multiple opponents.

But still...

A sense of self-satisfaction and accomplishment welled up within him. He was able to take on 5 orcs alone, that he never dreamt of achieving on his past 15-year-old self. Vincent grinned wide.

He got up and walked towards the flinching Orcs.

It's time to gauge out their eyes.
