Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Orc Army, Plunder Talent Reinforced



Sini looked at John, asking, "Master, can we stop over ten thousand orcs?"

John replied, "As long as no epic or higher-ranked orc leaders appear, we can manage." "Benefactor, can you really stop them?" Hope rekindled in Anna's eyes.

John nodded, "Take me to the weak point in the spatial barrier."

He could sense that this hidden space was not as stable as Death Land and likely had spatial fractures.

"Follow me, benefactor," Anna said without further words, leading John and the others to the edge of the Elven Lands.

The elves had already set up a defensive line here.

Boom!

Booming sounds echoed as the surrounding space became increasingly unstable, with someone attacking the spatial barrier from the outside.

Threads of powerful dark energy seeped in, corroding the space.

This area of space was on the verge of collapse and could shatter at any moment.

Elven archers stood on tree-constructed walls, gripping their longbows with anxiety, ready to attack at any moment.

Anna looked at John, her eyes filled with tenderness. She said, "Benefactor, if we can't hold them off, don't worry about us. Leave here as quickly as possible."

"Don't worry, it will be fine," John said, taking Anna's small hand and gently reassuring her.

Anna blushed, nodding slightly as she met John's gaze.

Despite only meeting him twice, she felt a deep sense of reliance and trust in this human.

Maybe, just maybe, he could change everything.

She thought of the prophecy...

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar broke the space, and the sound of battle cries filled the air.

A seemingly endless horde of orcs, black as a tide, poured in.

Their numbers far exceeded ten thousand.

"It's over..." Anna's face turned pale with despair.

"We can hold them off!" John's calm voice cut through the chaos.

Anna looked up at John, asking, "Benefactor, can we really stop them?"

John nodded firmly, "You lead the elven forces and try to slow the orcs' advance."

The elves were mostly archers and mages. If the orc army broke through the defenses, the consequences would be dire.

John then turned to the two women, instructing, "Sini, Tracy, stay in the rear and protect the elves as much as possible."

Elves were a vital part of this world; unlike players, their deaths were permanent.

"No, I want to fight with you," Sini protested.

Tracy added, "Old man, I can heal you. I'm really strong now."

"No need, these orcs won't be a threat to me," John insisted. Without further words, he mounted Avis.

Roar!

With a mighty roar, Avis soared into the sky, diving straight into the orc horde.

"Master, can I attack now?" Avis asked eagerly, itching to join the fray. Previously, John had never allowed him to participate in hunting down the magical beasts.

This time, John did not refuse. "Go ahead, show them what you've got."

"Good!" Avis had long been eager to prove itself in front of John.

Roar!

With another mighty roar, Avis spewed out a torrent of black dragon flames, engulfing the half-orcs below.

Screams of agony filled the air.

John switched to his staff, powerful magic surging through him as he alternated between spells.

Hundreds of orcs were instantly incinerated in the flames.

The terrible damage makes their formation thrown into chaos.

Incredibly, one man and one dragon were able to hold off the orc army, if only for a short time.

he moved like a ghost, slicing through the ranks with lethal precision.

The elite orcs were no match for John's swift and deadly strikes.

Blood spattered, and cries of agony echoed as numerous elite orcs fell, their bodies littering

the ground.

The battlefield was strewn with gear, all of third-tier ordinary quality.

[You have slain a level 70 elite boss orc, gaining 620 experience points]

[Plunder Talent Activated, Strength +1, Attack Speed +1]

[Plunder Talent Activated, Spirit +1, Skill Point +1]

...

[You have accumulated 100,000 Kill Score, Plunder Talent enhanced]

The notifications flashed.

John was elated. He had finally achieved 100,000 Kill Score, enhancing his Plunder talent for

the second time.

After quickly dispatching two more elite orcs, he stepped back to examine the upgraded

Plunder talent.

[Plunder Talent: SSS-level, Unique]

[Effect 1: Killing ordinary monsters has a 30% chance to Plunder their attribute points, a 2%

chance to Plunder special attributes]

[Effect 2: Killing boss-level enemies allows you to permanently acquire two of their skills,

talents, or special attributes]

[Effect 3: Killing monsters doubles the drop rate of items, and increases the quality of

dropped equipment by one tier]

[Effect 4: Killing monsters earns you Kill Score; the stronger the monster, the more points you get. Reaching 1,000,000 points will enhance the talent further. Current Kill Score: 117,000] "This is insane!" John was astonished. Compared to the first enhancement, the current three special effects had significantly improved.

The chance of Plundering attribute points from ordinary monsters had increased to 30%, and the chance of Plundering hidden attributes had risen to 2%. Moreover, now when he kills a boss, he can definitely Plunder two attributes.

The most insane enhancement is the third special effect: when killing monsters, the dropped

equipment's quality is increased by one tier.

This means that if he kills a legendary boss, there's a high possibility of dropping a divine

artifact!

"Despicable human, die!" a roar came, as a large number of elite orcs surrounded him.

"Hmph, fools!" John sneered, feeling thrilled. To him, these orcs were nothing but sources of

attribute points, skills, and equipment.

His figure blurred into a shadow, and countless flashes of cold light followed.

A new round of even more ferocious slaughter began. [You have slain a level 70 elite boss orc, gaining 620 experience points]

[Plunder Talent Activated, Strength +10, Skill Points +2, Attack Speed +1]

...

The notifications flashed, showing John had Plundered more attributes, including some rare

ones.

Additionally, the elite orcs were now dropping high-quality gear, upgraded from ordinary to

premium quality.

With such a bounty of high-quality equipment, John now had the capability to forge an elite

army.

Soon, over a thousand elite orcs were slaughtered.

Without wasting any time picking up the dropped loot, John quickly moved to support the

elves.
