Chapter 194 194 Evolved Orcs

"If we can't defeat it, who can, we are the strongest players in Nova Online, if we don't have the strength to defeat the demon Lord then who has?" Bloodmoon asked.

"What if we don't, up until now none of us believed gods existed, we played Nova Online to make money and because famous and we actually succeeded in becoming top players, but what if the demon Lord is more powerful than the three of us combined" Wraith spoke.

"If the demon Lord is more powerful than the three of us then we'll need more manpower, we are already high leveled and it's almost impossible for us to level up so we have no way to increase our strength, we can only train" Bloodmoon spoke.

"So we should gather all the top players–don't forget we lost our way to contact others," Death said.

"I know we did but if you were a top player where would you choose to be transported–the Gold Continent"

"You are right, most of the top players who be here in the Gold Continent or coming to the Gold Continent, but we also have no way to distinguish between a top player and an average player" Wraith spoke.

"That's another issue, but at least we're getting somewhere, we need to..." Bloodmoon stopped as they heard growling noises.

"It seems we have company" Wraith smiled.

"Death you can kill them right," Bloodmoon asked as he turned around but Death wasn't with them anymore.

"I hate it when he does that" Wraith snorted.

"If he's done we should head back to town and get something to eat, and also I'm not coming back here, this forest isn't safe"

"Huh!! Are you afraid, does tell me you are afraid of the beasts here" Wraith chuckled.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just cautious, I think he's done, I'm leaving," Bloodmoon said as he walked away.

"Hey wait up" Wraith spoke as he quickly stood up, Death joined them some seconds later and the three of them walked back to the city closest to the forest they were in.

"Gabriel, use your spell to trap it and I'll finish it off," Max said.

"Huh!! why would I do that, so you'll get all the XP, heck no we are both killing it" Gabriel said.

"But you have to trap it first and besides we can't both kill it, if you let me have this kill, I'll give you the next kill," Max said.

"I'll pass, this orc would definitely offer lots of XP and I'm behind in terms of level so no way I'm letting you take the XP"

"Before you start fighting, you guys aren't even sure if you can defeat it, let's retreat now that...the beasts already saw us" the rider spoke as he looked forward in fear.

"I didn't want to use this but I guess I have no choice" Melissa spoke as she brought out an arrow from her inventory.

The arrow had a strange marking on the entire body and glowed slightly, Alex could feel Mana pulsating from the arrow, since when he controlled his own Mana he could feel Mana from objects.

The orcs were now moving towards them with weapons in their hands, they moved one step at a time because Alex and his friends didn't seem like a threat to them, they were just humans.

"What is that?" Alex asked.

"An enchanted arrow, I didn't want to use this but it's getting pretty late and the rain would fall soon, I don't want us to waste any time here," Melissa said.I think you should take a look at

"Then let's get started" Alex muttered as he used his inspect skill.

[Evolved Orc]

[Level 20]

[HP: 400/400]

"Evolved Orc, level 20, HP 400... I'm sure you all saw their attacks so try to avoid it, except for Max, I'm sure he can take one of their blows" Alex chuckled.

"I'm not going to Zenith City with broken bones so I'll try to avoid them, I have some spare SP, time to increase my agility"

"Gabriel hit me with your flame spell just I'm case" Alex's said.

[Fireball]

Gabriel stretched his hands towards Alex and shot him with three fireball spells which were immediately absorbed by Alex's skill.

[Absorbing Flame spell]

[Amplifying Flame spell]

[Next attack contains triple effect of Flame spell]

The rider stood there in shock staring at Alex, from the talks earlier he knew Gabriel was a mage but Alex was holding two daggers so he definitely isn't a mage, but the fireball did not affect his body.

*BOOM*

A loud sound echoed throughout the whole forest as a result of lightning in the sky, once the lightning stopped Alex smiled and dashed into the forest to conceal his presence.

"Here they come" Max spoke as he brandished his sword and stepped forward.

"Hey Alex, we didn't pick our target yet–well it doesn't matter," Lynx said as he took aim while moving sideways into the forest.

He was a shooter so he didn't want the orcs to go after him, now that it was dark he would use it as an advantage to shoot the orc while Alex battles it.

The rider quickly climbed onto the carriage with Rebecca and turned his horses around, Rebecca could sense the wolves close to their cave, but as they couldn't defeat the orc they stopped attacking and stood guard near their cave.

Melissa placed the enchanted arrow in her bow and aimed at one of the orcs, the orcs were now a few meters away from them and suddenly increased their steps.

"It's starting, I'll need you guys to move backwards a little" Gabriel shouted as he placed his hands on the ground, he already had a plan to stop the orcs.

Instead of turning where the orcs were standing to mud, he made the ground in front of them into mud, he kept infusing Mana making the mud deeper and wider, he stopped before the orcs could reach them and stepped away.

The orcs saw them moving backwards in preparation to attack and the three orcs dashed forward, but as soon as they took a large step all three of them crashed to the ground.
