Rishi and his guild members have been in the dungeon for one day. By this point, they've all gotten used to fighting Orcs and learned all of their tricks.
The only bad news is that the Orcs have begun to notice that many of their fellow Orcs have been killed by someone and have begun to move in small groups, making it impossible to fight them one by one.
They all decided to team up to fight a small group of orcs. It was time to fight together, So Dev decided to review everyone's roles again.
"Everyone pay attention," he said. "I'll go over the formation again: Lalit is a tank, so he'll be in front. Ajit and I will be behind him to prevent enemies from attacking our damage dealers. Behind us will be Dilip and Manu, whose job will be to deal with any enemies who managed to avoid us."
"Manu and Dilip will also have another role, which is to attack enemies on the frontlines whenever they are free, but keep in mind that your primary role is to defend our archers, so never engage in long fights."
"Jay and Rishab are our main damage dealers. Jay will be our main archer, assisting us whenever we get into trouble."
"Rishab will have two roles: one as a sniper and the other as an assassin. At the start of the fight, he will act as a sniper, attempting to eliminate any difficult opponents, but this will be for show. His main role will be infiltrating the enemy backline while the rest of us fight and assassinate the ranged damage dealers of the enemy team."
"He will be our trump card when fighting another guild; we will only use this card in dire situations," he added. All members listened to their roles and nodded in response.
"Let's fight the group of Orcs we saw earlier; they shouldn't have gone too far from their previous location," Ajit suggested.
They eventually found their target after searching for them for some time. Rishi raised his hand, signaling all of his guild members to pause, and then used the second mode of his 'inspect' skill to determine the group's strength.
NAME: Common Orc
NUMBER: 12
AVERAGE LEVEL: From Common stage level 8 to Advanced stage level 2.
STRENGTHS: Physical strength and defense are far superior to other species of the same level.
WEAKNESS: below-average intelligence, short temper, and low mobility.
NATURE: cruel, belligerent, vicious, and sadistic.
STATUS: Healthy.
"Their group's lowest level Orc is Common stage level 8, while the one with the highest level is Advanced stage level 2," Rishi warned.
"How do you always figure out their level correctly? I always struggle to guess it," Lalit said. This question piqued the interest of others, who all looked to him for an answer.
"You could have been the guild leader if you could also do that."
"Let's not waste more time; let's fight them," Rishi replied.
They lined up in a formation and approached the Orcs; they were only 50 meters away when the Orcs noticed them. The leader of the Orcs noticed Rishi's group, he made a loud sound, "Chhiiiiii," and the rest Orcs became alert and gathered to fight their enemy.
Jay and Rishi started the fight by shooting some arrows; they didn't try to kill Orcs because their main goal was to train.
They all agreed not to use their contract beasts in this fight as it would make the fight less challenging. They also wanted to understand their role better; fighting with contract beasts would only complicate matters.
When the orc leader saw the ignorant humans attacking them, he became enraged. "Chiii," it made a loud noise, commanding the orcs to attack.
"Everyone be prepared; they are attacking," Dev said as he looked at the approaching orcs.
Jay and Rishi began attacking the orcs who approached them. Because it was difficult to kill a moving orc, they decided to concentrate their efforts on the orcs in the back to slow them down. This created a small gap between the front and back Orcs, giving the teammates in the front some time to deal with the five front Orcs.
The five Orcs in front didn't wait for other Orcs; they believed they could deal with these humans alone and earn the right to taste their meat first. They charged at Rishi's group, carrying tremendous momentum, and attacked them with axes and clubs.
Lalit was a little intimidated by their attack, but he trusted his teammates, so he raised his ample shield, absorbed their momentum, and then took their Agro with his skill. His defense was rock solid, so he easily repelled the attacks of the leading three Orcs.
The other two Orcs chose to attack different targets. One of them went after Dev, while the other went after Ajit. Dev and Ajit had Knight classes, giving them the best defense in the group.
This was primarily due to their superiority over Lalit in levels. Rishi decided to train Lalit to be their main tank because, when fighting against another guild, they needed good fighters, and their role was not only defense but also dealing damage, which Ajit and Dev couldn't do while playing the tank role.
Because the orcs in the front were weaker than those in the back, they all decided to finish these five orcs quickly. Ajit and Dev had the upper hand and were about to finish their fight with their opponents.
At the same time, Manu and Dilip surprised the two orcs attacking Lalit with an ambush and injured them, after which they teamed up with Lalit to finish off all their opponents.
Ajit and Dev had also defeated their opponents in five seconds when they discovered Manu and Dilip standing with Lalit.
"Return to your positions; the main battle will begin now," said Dev. He was correct; as the second wave of Orcs approached, Rishi and Jay slowed have tried to stop them for a few more seconds, but they could not stop them any longer.
When the Orcs saw humans killing their fellow Orcs, they became enraged and charged at Rishi's group without caring about their lives, because of which many arrows hit and injured them, but the simple-minded Orcs only had one thing in mind, which was revenge. The Orc leader has also begun charging at them.
This time the attack was different from the previous time; these Orcs were of a higher level, with two even reaching advanced stage.
Lalit could only defend two Orcs; he was even pushed back one step while defending their attacks.
Dev and Ajit began fighting two advanced-stage orcs, leaving the remaining two orcs to Manu and Dilip. Jay too demonstrated his prowess by attacking two orcs at the same time.
He changed targets to pressure all orcs, forcing them to divert their attention and giving his teammates an advantage. He concentrated his attention primarily on the two Orcs attacking Lalit, as the others members could easily defeat their opponents.
When Rishi saw his teammates fighting together, he smiled. He was considering how they could improve when he heard a loud cry, "Chiii."
He shifted his gaze to the battleground and noticed a large orc approaching them. It became enraged when it saw its countless men being slaughtered by humans.
He was on his way to Lalit when Rishi attacked and stopped him from charging at his teammates. "Why are you in such a hurry?" he smiled at the Orc.
When the Orc saw a human attempting to prevent him from saving his followers, it attacked Rishi without hesitation. Rishi easily avoided its attack, which made the Orc even angrier. It didn't have time to deal with Rishi when his followers' lives were in danger every second he was away from the battle.
Rishi knew that the Orc didn't want a long fight, but he decided to use him as a training partner. He and the Orc exchanged various moves, and then a man and an Orc could be seen fighting.
The difference was that the Orc wanted to finish the fight as quickly as possible, whereas Rishi enjoyed the fight and wanted to fight for an extended period.
Even though the Orc's body was covered in various cuts from which blood was pouring, it was still fighting; it was another thing that Rishi was unscratched.
Rishi and the Orc were still fighting after two minutes; despite getting more injured, the Ork was growing stronger with time. It was all because of the orc's signature racial skill, 'Rage,' which increased their power as they became more enraged.
When the leader of Orcs saw all his followers die one by one in front of him, It fueled his anger even more.
Now he only wanted to slaughter all his enemies and bathe in their blood, His skill had given him a 1.5x increase in attack, but he was still no match for Rishi and was dying slowly.
Rishi was so engrossed in his battle that he forgot he wasn't alone; all of his guild members were watching him. While most were patient and wanted Rishi to take his time, Dilip was not one of them. "Rishab, are you killing it, or should I come to help you?" he asked.
When Rishi heard Dilip, he realized his mistake and decided to finish the fight. "You kept me entertained and even helped me train. As a reward, I will give you a quick death," he said.
The Orc had just listened to these words and had no idea what they meant; the kind look in Rishi's eyes confused it even more; before it could think any further, Rishi used the 'Phantom Steps' and 'Quick Draw' combo to attack him and re-sheathe his sword slowly after finishing his attack.
All viewers could only see a blur at Rishi's position, after which the orc's head fell, followed by its lifeless body.
"You could have let him enjoy his time," Dev pointed out.
"How come I let him have fun when he made me promise not to leave the formation? I waited patiently for five minutes and restrained myself from killing that Orc, but he tortured me by enjoying himself alone," Dilip replied.
Dev had nothing to say in response to Dilip's argument, so he remained silent.
