I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 109: WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR 4

A screeching sound can be heard from a far as well as the last cry of the strange monsters that died in the explosion. While the others have died in the explosion of the black mana orb, some also have been in their tail.

Adam and Adelyn keep on swaying their sword and slashing the monsters while Silvester and the rest of the group are also helping while avoiding the poisonous blood of the monsters.

"Sir Edrich, can you still make another black mana orb?" Adelyn asked.

"I can only make two and wait for my mana to be replenished."

"Save it, we'll need it later." she said.

Now that she knew the man's capabilities and limitations, she needed to utilize them and use their strength in the right time.

*thud!* *thud!*

Adam, Adelyn, Silvester and the rest of the group felt the vibrating of the ground underneath their feet. They're eyes locked and looked at each other, everyone seemed to have felt the same presence.

The direction of the loud sound where everything seemed to be crushed with a force capable of destroying everything with its strength and the swaying of the dry branches of the trees gave an indication as to where the location of the unknown monster was making the noise.

Without a moment's notice, they saw a fast shadow and boom! Adam flew miles away.

Adelyn then knew that what they felt was a strength of an orc that also mutated inside the Stygian ruins.

Because standing before them is an orc that is 3m tall stature and the wooden bat with spikes that seems to be made by this orc. Its skin was also the same as the other monsters and only one shade lighter from the rest. He also has fangs like the mammoth. Its length is as long as his chin is and shoots upward.

"This ugly pig!" She insulted the orc and its red eyes glow dangerously.

"Rrrr nhohh.." The orc seems to be saying his answer as it made its move by swinging the wooden bat that has the same length of her height.

"Shit!" And soon reflexes took over and she jumped to the side, a crater was made from where the bat landed.

Adelyn gulped. It could have been her body smashed into bits if her reflexes weren't honed by years of experience.

"Grrr! me no pig!" another swing of his bat followed where Adelyn is.

She couldn't believe that the orc was retorting what she just spew.

"Me Kill!" The orc continued as its red eyes were only following Adelyn's shadow.

Adelyn defended herself when she saw the incoming bat. She also swings her sword to counter the attack. She grits her teeth and ready herself for the impact that's coming.

"Evelyn!" While Adelyn was preparing herself, she heard a familiar voice and the name that she hadn't heard for so long. In her peripheral view, she saw Silvester coming her way.

She smiled, she knew she could withstand the attack, she would winch in pain but she's strong enough to defend herself from these kinds of monsters.

But what she expected didn't happen because instead of a powerful impact she saw a sturdy back. What did come was Adam's sword as he defended the orcs attack from Adelyn. 

She was shocked as she saw earlier that Adam flew and broke a couple of dried black trees while stopping after the fourth tree.

Silvester heaved a sigh of relief, even if he knew that Adelyn is Evelyn and has the strength and power to overpower him means that she can defend herself. 

But he can't help but be worried. It was only an hour ago that he discovered that her cousin wasn't dead and was just pretending no, hiding from them. He doesn't exactly know the reason why, but he can feel in Evelyn's eyes that it was her desperation that made her do that.

While Silvester has been contemplating her cousin's action and while he's still fighting and killing monsters at the same time, he saw Adam and Evelyn making unbelievable moves to kill the gigantic orc.

Adelyn and Adam locked eyes. They knew what to do as their eyes were doing the talking.

She moves with a light foot and slash the orcs thick skin again and again in the same spots that her swords land and she does it until the flesh can be seen. While she does that, Adam is busy fighting the orc with its physical strength and making sure that the attention of the orc is on him while he lets Adelyn do the damage.

Adelyn was getting annoyed with the orc, at first, she wanted to let them think that she was struggling, and her A-rank was also playing a big role for her to hide her strength. Since Silvester called her name out of the public and the company of Silvester seems that they can be trusted to shut their mouth, she thought that she can do this without much issue. Well, if they decide to open their mouth and blabber then there's multiple things that she can do for them to voluntarily bury what they saw to the grave.

Besides, Adam's head was bleeding, and it was bothering her to see someone shielding her while they were harmed. 

Now, she needs to be the shield of the group. Oh well 'I'll just ask for compensation later.' she thought. She glanced at Silvester's group who were having a hard time as the fight was getting longer while they were still halfway out of the forest.

Then, Adelyn looked up at the orc. Their eyes met and the orc was mumbling again.

"Me Kill Eat Meat!"

Adam's brow twitch and his murderous aura were leaking out.

"How dare you look at Miss Adelyn as food! I'll kill you, you ugly bastard!" Adam cursed while his eyes were glowing dangerously.

She sighs. Because she still saw Adam's blood gushing from his head.

'And he has the guts to release his aura' she thought before she clicked her tongue.

"How annoying" she mumbled.

She decided to kill it - that ugly orc. She doesn't want to let a lot of people know her strength but oh well

"Adam, step back." She said.

Adam only glanced at her and saw the annoyed face with a mix of exhaustion in her face. He stepped back.

He squinted his black eyes and peered at her as he sighed. The guild's princess can be demanding but with a reason and he knew that she's cautious and always paid back everything if you did something to her like when she beat the shit out of adventurers who made ruckus inside the guild. Annoyed and Exhausted.

"Bastard!" He heard Adelyn cursed at the Orc.

Now he confirmed that the Orc will die without mercy. So, he shut his eyes and retreated.

While the Silvester's company protected him from the side and still killed the monsters that followed them.

Silvester and his company are finished dealing with the monsters and are on the side taking a break and keeping up with their fast heartbeat and ragged breath.

Then they heard Adelyn's voice making Adam, the S-rank adventurer, step aside.

"Is she trying to kill it alone?"

"Isn't supposed to be Sir Adam that needs to deal with the Orc?"

They watched Adam step aside without complaining and his eyes were telling them that he trusted Adelyn's decision.

Although logically speaking, they knew that Adam is supposed to be the one to deal with the Orc it also seems to be normal to see the woman to deal with it herself.

Then the proof presented to them itself. Because Adelyn let her murderous aura go wild.

Silvester, Izzy and Adam have experienced her aura but not with vicious intentions. It sends shivers even for them while the rest of the party seems to be shocked at what they are witnessing. 

Sir George looks at her with open eyes. Even though he's a sword master, he can't explain what he was feeling. She looks big for him. It's the first time since he experienced this other than their Crown Prince Silvester.

And her aura looks like they are ready to swallow them, add to that, she looks like the dead itself that will bring death sentence to her target and she will drag the soul back to the pits of abyss.

'Well, she's the dead rose of the battlefield.' that seems to be the thoughts of the knights beside Silvester while they shiver.

*Slash!

"Grr!"

*Swoosh!*

"Roar!"

*Clang!*

"Ack!"

The surrounding area was full of the sound of the swords cutting to the wind and the thick flesh of the Orc becoming tendered as Adelyn was massaging it with her sword.

Adelyn quickly equipped her sword with a strengthening spell and her earth magic shot from the ground and trapping the Orc like it was in a cauldron while she jumped with her light steps with force.

All the people could see are dust made from Adelyn's physical force.

She quickly cast a spell. The one word cast spell that she utilized when she was only thirteen and the mage who were seeing this for the first time were hanging their mouth wide open. Especially Sir Izzy.

It was only a theory when they graduated from the department of magic in the St. Prisch Academy and seeing it in person left them agape. They're witnessing the theory becoming real and the proof was the woman in front of them who was dealing with the gigantic Orc.

The orc only swung his gigantic bat and tried to release himself from the earthen rock that surrounded his lower body.

The people who were watching are getting serious as the tension of the fight was getting into them. A few minutes and they saw the body of the gigantic Orc slowly falling and thud! A loud sound came as its body hit the ground.

And then, they saw Adelyn leisurely walking while smiling at them like she did was only an exercise and her refreshed look etched into their mind. If they didn't witness what happened they would think that she didn't kill a three-meter Orc just a while ago.
