Three days later

[Arcane meridians - 1%]

[You are now capable of cultivating 10 Arcane energy per day]

[Infant soul foundation - 40%]

{Blemished}

{If you break through at this point without stabilizing your foundation your soul will be gravely injured which could lead to instability and lack of vitality which may even lead to death.}

Alex sighed sitting on a 3-meter large wolf, which was 5 meters or even massive in length. It was Ava as her power grew after Alex injected some of his Arcane energy, which refined her body and made her stronger.

[LV35]

He smiled seeing the expression of excitement on little Ambers's face. After signing a contract with that girl, he needs to fulfill it which he did. Waiting for her to return he needs to eliminate an orc tribe. Before the Guild leader came to their team again, this was one of his highest priorities at the moment.

"Blood vine .... huh." he wondered seeing a few figures just a few meters away. Before reaching them he called for his skills to make sure he had everything prepared.

'It's enough for now.' he exclaimed staring at the shocked expressions of the girls beside a handsome young man.

"Your late," he remarked.

"Got a little busy but are you guys ready." he asked jumping off the wolf with Amber on his shoulder as he said, "Say hi." He stared at Amber who was a little fearful of the new faces.

"Nice to meet you." she waved her hand shyly. The attention the giant wolf was getting disappeared as they landed on the little girl.

"So cute." The Three girls reacted.

'Shit.' they surrounded her and asked to carry her which she responded by hugging Alex without letting go. "Brother.", Alex just smiled and moved her close to his chest.

"Why would you bring a little girl on a quest." Luna was a girl with golden hair whose eyes were similar to those of Mike her beauty being much greater than the three. A sinful body that even a succubus is jealous of. 'Now that am thinking about it, these guys don't look like ordinary commoners?' Alex wondered.

"She will be okay," Mike answered.

"What if she gets hurt, what will you do then," said Mia a short girl with Brown hair who was also a mage just like Luna, with a very cute appearance.

"She won't get hurt," Alex answered.

"She's so cute." The healer who had a noble aura around her stood behind them clearly showing that she was younger than the two being around 17- 18 years old. But her beauty and cuteness truly showed, with a brilliant light.

Alex just ignored them with Amber answering, "Big brother will protect me." She answered in her cute tone of voice.

"Huff, how will someone without mana even protect you? Just come to your big sister and we will." In response, Amber shook her head and answered. "Big brother is strong."

Those have some meaning to them that they didn't understand. 

'Those girls, eyes are blinded even when my master show cast his abilities to them when he saved their lives. Such stupidity deserves to be punished.' Ava's eyes glared with a dangerous light and asked, "Master should I Kill them." 

"No let them speak," Alex answered and just stared at Mike who responded with intensity.

"We should start moving girls," Mike said moving toward Alex.

"What are you talking about, it's a tribe of 153 orcs and how many are we," Luna shouted seeing the two continue to move.

"5 competent people, It's already a large number." The girls blushed lightly but they still complained along the way which Alex and Mike ignored.

An hour later

They stood at a hill staring down at a Tribe, or mostly a town of orcs. The Dire Wolf came and reported, "All look out orcs have been eliminated." She said and stood there waiting for something. 

"Amazing thank you, Ava." Her tail starts waggling. 

"So, what's your plan," Mia said with an annoyed tone.

Ignoring her he said, "They are 251 Orcs down there, One C- rank with many D ranks and E ranks without a single F or G rank." His words caused the atmosphere to become tense and Luna reacted.

"No, the report says 153 with a single D." She panicked, " That can't be true."

"I think you can see and feel the pressure coming from that huge house. So just face the reality." Alex replied his tone seemed colder.

Mai was the one that responded "No you face the reality. How can we defeat such a big arm on ourselves." 

She wasn't answered and she shouted once more "Mike you not going with this right." She inquired.

But to her disappointment, Mike didn't reply and asked, "What's the plan, Alex."

Confusion of him being on his side left the girls in disbelief and the noble girl just smiled. At that moment the two girls felt a feeling of being betrayed.

"If you girls don't want to be here then just leave, you aren't forced," Alex responded with a calm voice like everything was in his calculations. The two girls frowned but this is when a voice rang out which shocked them even more.

"Am in so don't worry." the beautiful healer that never said her name accepted which forced the other two to accept making Alex wonder about her.

"Okay then." 

"Huff, If we die am going to kill you, Mike, and your friend too." Mike just smiled at Luna's reply and asked once more.

"What's the plan."
