Chapter 56 Getting Revenge
”Should we attack the drum, then?” Jay wondered.
“No, only tough opponents will make us stronger. We’re here to train, so every difficult battle will strengthen us,” Rishi replied.
“Get ready, Lalit and Ajit; they’re attacking again after grouping up,” Dev warned. Lalit and Ajit were alarmed when they heard Dev.
The Orcs attacked again, and this time the situation was much worse, with many high-level Orcs attacking them. Manu, Dilip, and Rishi had already arrived to assist the defenders.
“Don’t be afraid, guys; I have a trump card to defeat them in one go,” suggested Ajit, after which he told his plan to all his members.
“Jay and Vakar, use your AOE skills to target the orcs in the back, so even if they try to flee, they will be unable to dodge,” explained Ajit. Rishi asked his contract beast to attack the Orc army’s backside.
“When they are caught off-guard, we will raid their group to attack the Orc Lord to finish the battle directly.” All group members agreed with Ajit’s plan and decided to move along.
The fight started once again and every guild members waited for the perfect opportunity to counter attack.
Vakar used his combo skill ‘Blood Rain’ once more, this time very quickly, giving enemies no time to react. Jay also casted his ‘Arrow Rain’ ability a little farther then the Orc group.
The Orc Drummer played the drum, requesting the Orcs to retreat, as Ajit had predicted, but they were unlucky this time, as they could not dodge the unexpected attacks as they were calculated.
Vakar has perfected his combo after using it several times, allowing him to cast it quickly. Jay has also mastered his ‘Arrow Rain’ ability. On one side, Jay’s skill caused chaos, while Vakar’s attack was like a divine judgment; it killed several orcs, reducing their number and turning the tide of the battle.
When Dilip, Manu, and Rishi were focused on dodging the attack, they were already prepared to raid their enemies.
Dilip mounted his terrifying Contract beast and began wreaking havoc; he was like a chess queen between the pawns. Dilip used even more strength this time, killing multiple Orcs around him before deciding to checkmate the enemy army by charging directly at the King.
Rishi and Manu knew precisely what was on his mind and trailed behind him, clearing the way for them. Dev, Jay, Vakar, and Ajit all followed them to help.
When Lalit had had enough of following them due to the slow speed of his contract beast, he began moving toward the Orc Drummer to extract his vengeance on this obnoxious Orc.
The Orc drummer attempted to flee and hide behind other Orcs, but no one could stop Rishi’s charging contract beast; it charged through all the enemies in front of him, heading for the Orc drummer. Lalit caught it and began beating it after a few seconds.
The Orc Lord rose from his seat and ordered the other Orcs to stop the enemies. All of the Orcs surrounded their leader and tried to stop Dilip and his teammates, but was it really that simple to stop the charge of an Epic Beast? It ripped through their defenses and kept moving on while Rishi and others made sure Dilip wasn’t surrounded and cleared all of the orcs chasing him.
When Dilip saw the Orc Lord trying to escape, he laughed, “Run, Orc run. I’ll kill you as soon as I catch up to you.”
“Annoying flies,” he said as he slashed away at the orcs jumping on him.
Rishi fought while riding Sheru, killing several Orcs, but the most fun he had was using his skill ‘shadow walk’ to enter between the group of enemies and then using his newly learned technique, ‘Triangle Slash,’ to kill as many enemies as possible.
He then summoned Sheru to flee; it was a fun combo that he could also use in the tournament. He started imagining a scene in which he took out two to three enemy team members and smirked evilly.
Manu was taking out as many enemies as possible while Rishi was enjoying his time now that their team had an advantage because the enemy was uncoordinated.
He had learned a lot during his entire adventure inside the dungeon, and he had trained to learn how to use all of his skills more effectively. He even asked Dilip to train him, and he remembered he went to Ajit and told him he wanted to learn from Dilip.
Ajit had told him that convincing Dilip was simple; all he needed to do was praise him and tell him that Dilip was his idol. As Ajit stated, convincing Dilip was easy, and he expected Dilip to teach him like a good senior, but he didn’t expect him to be so strict. Dilip even assigned punishment and gave him tasks to complete. He believes his student should not be so frail that everyone easily bullies him.
As a result, Manu was assigned an unwanted teacher. He tried to flee, but Dilip was too hard to run from.
He attempted to seek assistance from Rishi, who responded, “Isn’t it your goal to become stronger? So, why are you passing up this fantastic opportunity?”
“Dilip may be inept at other things, but when it comes to spears, he is a genius. He even defeated his spear class teacher; ask him about that incident he’ll gladly tell you about it.”
Manu chose to accept his fate and learn from Dilip, completing his assignments. This was a similar case; Dilip has asked Manu to follow him, but following someone is very difficult when attacked by multiple enemies. Despite his dire circumstances, he did not give up and worked hard to catch up to Dilip.
Lalit was hitting the head of an orc on the other side of the battlefield, asking him, “Do you want to play more?” He then picked up the drum and hit it in the orc’s head, creating a hole where the orc’s head stuck.
Jay was tired, so he left the battle after casting his ‘Arrow Rain’ skill on a group of orcs one last time. He then exited the battlefield without looking back at the outcome of his attack.
“You have done very well; now it is time to rest,” Rishi said as he sat on Vakar’s shoulder and patted his head.
Vakar was adamant, but Rishi knew that continuing to fight was bad for him. His stamina may have recovered due to its passive skill, but he was mentally exhausted from chanting so many spells.
When Sheru noticed Rishi praising Vakar instead of him, he growled, “Come on, Sheru, he’s your little brother. He’s young and needs better care,” he said, rubbing his running contract beast’s head.
A human could be seen outside the battleground beating an orc with his hand and saying, “You are the best punching bag; I was right to bring you here and enjoy some happy time.”𝗇𝗈𝒱𝖊𝒍𝔫𝞮xt.𝒞𝑜𝗆
After some time, Manu arrived at the Dilip location and discovered the corpse of the Orc Lord, who could only be identified by the crown he was wearing.
“You are last, as a punishment, you are two minutes late. You will train twice tomorrow.”
“It’s not easy to follow a genius,” he said, resting one hand on Manu’s shoulder and gazing up at the sky.
