"Hurry up Neil!" A group of four people was standing behind a gate while waiting for their fifth member to arrive. Behind the man called Neil were 10 hobgoblins led by an orc who was charging towards them with a vicious expression.

Neil arrives at the gate and dives in as his teammates slam it shut while locking it. Fierce blows quickly came to the gate as it shakes violently from the many strong hits.

"It won't last long, run!" Neil shouts as they all break into a run immediately. The gate breaks down a couple of seconds later as the tall orc walks towards them.

"Hmph, weak humans." The orc scuffs as he continues pursuing them with his hobgoblins. More than a month had passed since Reign and the others had arrived at the town and captured the anchor point. Ever since then Reign and the group have been hunting the monsters roaming inside the town while doing some dungeons and taking back the town bit by bit.

Many survivors joined Reign's territory and slowly people became stronger, strong enough to even hunt inside the town. Neil and his group were one of those people, their levels were high enough to hunt in the periphery of the town, but unfortunately, they came upon a high-level group that was led by an orc this time and had to flee.

The orc had been chasing them for over 10 minutes at this point, the monster was merciless and wouldn't let go of them for anything. It was the constant hunting done by Reign and his group that had fueled the rage of the orcs towards humans. They killed many of them and even manage to take another anchor point from the orcs, now only 2 anchor points remained in the city, one was in the center of their territory where the leader of the orcs resided, while the other one was at an even more dangerous place, guarded by the giant ape that Eldar had wounded previously.

"Leah, can you plant some traps now?" Neil shouts at the front where a green-robed girl was fiddling with something. The girl turns around and nods to him.

Neil and the others all make some space as the girl named Leah drops multiple traps in the street. They continue forward as the orc shows up from the corner behind them. Seeing his prey again he charges towards them with vigor while his hobgoblins try to catch up.

Bam!

Suddenly multiple explosions take place beneath the orc, the hobgoblins all stop in their tracks as they look ahead of them with fear. The dust slowly settles and they were finally able to see their leader again. The orc was not dead, he was not even heavily wounded, only his legs were wounded by the explosions as they were bleeding slightly while parts of their skin were torn off.

The orc breathes rapidly as his muscles bulge out. His face was scrunched up in anger as he looked ahead where the party had disappeared. With great anger, he charges forward while being at least twice as fast now. His body was glowing a pale red color as he destroyed parts of the buildings he touched.

"Shit, it seems like we enraged him, he's gonna catch up." A third member of the group shouts with fear as he looks at the red orc that had managed to come close to them. Neil and the others look behind and grit their teeth, they knew there was no way to outrun the orc now, the only thing left was to fight and hope for the best.

"We have to survive for a couple of seconds before his berserk state ends, after that, we will be able to run without any large problems, his hobgoblins are far away, we have a chance." Neil tries to calm his teammates down, he knew the words he spoke were largely exaggerated as a berserk lvl 27 orc was much more powerful than them, even at his normal state he would be neigh impossible to take down.

"Leah, try to hit him in the knees or if possible the eyes," Neil says to Leah while clenching his sword. Out of the five of them, only Leah was the long-range attacker while the other four all used weapons for close combat. Neil used the usual sword and shield combination while the other three were equipped with a great axe, a hammer, and a pair of spiked battle gloves.

As the orc comes close to them while charging Leah aims at him as her bow glows a bright red color. Small flames appear on the tip of the arrow as she finally lets it loose.

"Trail of the phoenix, set ablaze."

The flames on the arrow suddenly engulf it whole as it transforms into a fiery bird. The bird flies fast towards the red orc as a fiery trail was left in the air. The orc narrows down his eyes as he delivers a backhand blow to the bird that explodes in a brilliant flame upon impact.

"Nice, it hit it!" One of the party members cheers as the flames cover the part of the alley from which the orc was coming. But the cheers didn't last long as a tall figure slowly walks through the flames. His left arm was burned heavily, but the burns were only superficial and the arm was still functional, in the end, the strongest attack from the archer was simply too weak to even pose a threat towards the orc.

The party members were looking at the large figure solemnly as the orc grins at them. The four of them suddenly charge with full force as all of them use their skills right away.

A large hammer made from rocks smashes down at the orc from one side while a bright red slash of the great axe comes from another.

A blue ray comes out from the sword as it travels towards the orc with breakneck speed while the battle gloves user has his gloves covered with a golden hue as he attacks the orc head-on. The orc scoffs at them as he simply punches the hammer and axe ray with brutal force, the two attacks struggle for a bit before dispersing completely.

A small, black shield appears on the orc's forearm as he successfully blocks the stab from Neil. The shield was not real, simply a skill the orc had together with his dark energy. The battle glove user was the last to arrive, his eyes were crazed as he looked at the orc with great fury. He knew he had no chance as he had just witnessed his teammates skills being completely useless against the monster.

He arrives and lets out a barrage of attacks at the orcs head. The orc doesn't even move as he simply lets the man punch him for a full minute before getting tired. He backs off and looks at the orc whose face was barely injured. A thin, dark hue was covering his face and it managed to absorb most of the attacks before they could deal any damage.

"Pitiful." The orc says with a coarse voice before walking towards them. They were all desperate now, their attacks had no effect on the abnormal berserk orc who was simply toying with them. The sounds of footsteps could be heard from further away, they knew that the hobgoblins were close now and it was just a matter of time before they arrive.

"Damn it, how is his berserk state still lasting?" Neil utters while gripping his sword with full force, he dashes towards the orc as the latter simply blasts him back with a kick. Neil crashes at the wall as he spits out blood, the seemingly casual blow from the orc was immensely powerful and managed to damage him quite heavily. His ribs were fractured and he could barely move, it was no wonder that the soldiers back in the territory told them repeatedly to never try fighting an orc, they were still too low-leveled, with Neil and Leah being the highest with level 16.

"Too weak, die now human." The orc was standing above the kneeling Neil as his teammates were around him, they were all gripping their weapons and were ready to defend him, even though they knew it was futile.

Swish

An arrow suddenly comes and hits the orc's leg from the side. The arrow managed to hit his knee, but the dark hue was again present as it blocked most of the damage and only a slight wound was formed.

"Be patient, you are next." The orc smiles menacingly at Leah before coating his hands with the black hue. With full force, he smashed them down on the group of four. At least it tried to.

Bam!

Lightning erupts in front of the orc who was sent flying to the other side of the alley. Cracks form on the wall of the building as the orc was embedded in it.

"Hey man, what do you think you're doing to my sweet subordinates?" Reign smiles at the shocked orc while slowly walking towards him.

"Zone leader!" Neil and the others exclaim in shock as they look at Reign who had saved them just now.

"Good job you guys, we'll take it from here." Reign shows them a thumbs up before continuing to walk to the orc. Lightning crackles around him as his katana was drawn out of its sheath.

"We?" Neil asks as his eyes widen. He looks up and sees five figures sitting on the roof of a nearby building. Beast had his bow fully drawn as four arrows were notched on it. He lets the arrows go and they fly towards the incoming hobgoblins. Four big explosions took place in the middle of the group as blood and body parts were blown everywhere.

The orc had managed to get out of the wall as he looked at Reign with fury.

"Two swords, lightning, it is you." The orc speaks with a solemn voice as he uses his ability to its fullest. The dark hue covers his whole body while his arms grow spikes on their sides.

"Sorry but we have to be somewhere, so I really don't have time to battle you fairly now." Reign shrugs his shoulders as three people jump down towards the orc from the building.

Shadows pop out around the orc as they penetrate his body. Flames that were many times hotter compared to Leah's come down before a great sword slashes down, severing one of the orcs arms, a purple whip had caught the orc's other arm, the arm was bleeding heavily as the whip was cutting deeply into it. Lastly, a giant metal ball falls down on the orc as it crushes him before bouncing back towards Reign who suddenly disappears from his spot.

A slash was sent towards the now heavily injured orc. Before the orc could do anything the katana was already at his neck. In a flash, his head was severed from his body that slowly falls down to the ground.

"Hey you guys, want to come back to the zone with us?" Shadow comes to the five who were looking at all of them with eyes full of awe. They all repeatedly nod their heads before slowly making their way back to the territory.
