Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

"Why is there a monster stampede in the middle of the capital?" Acht asked as they ran down the stairs to cut down the time they had to wait inside the elevator.

"There are many dungeons that are located inside the capital. They are called 'Restricted zones' since they are extremely dangerous. This is such a case of a dungeon outbreak."

"What's the rank of this dungeon? From the aura alone, it could be C-Rank or higher." Acht gave his idea as he recalled the massive wave of energy that engulfed the city.

It wasn't the strong aura of each of these monsters individually that made it so overwhelming. It was actually the sheer number of these monsters that invaded the city that made it that strong.

"That dungeon is a B-Rank dungeon. It's called the 'Orc Village' dungeon since it's full of orcs."

'Orcs? So they do exist in this world.' Acht thought to himself as he jumped 5 stairs in one single step.

With each passing second, he could feel the ground shake and hear the screams of people as they ran away for their dear lives.

They reached the entrance of the Hunter Association HQ and they finally could witness the destruction that befell the city in these few minutes.

Hordes and hordes of monsters moved through the streets as they dispersed to fill the whole area and destroy whatever came in front of them.

Buildings fell and people were killed as they tried to escape the clutches of these vicious monsters.

"Fuck." Acht cursed under his breath.

Even escaping became something way harder than fighting them head-on so he could only resort to such a choice even though it would be one of the hardest fights of his life.

'But, I can't use gravity in front of hunters.' He thought to himself as he pulled his triangular object. He decided to call it 'Ooze' for short.

He then changed its form to that of a bow. Before he confronts them, he wants to see if hitting them with arrows is a good idea.

Leislet had already disappeared somewhere so he was all alone surrounded by a sea of monsters.

He then hid in the best place possible and aimed his bow at one random orc.

This orc was hitting some buildings while shouting and screaming non-stop. It didn't even bother to look whether hitting it like that will actually make it fall or not. It seems that intelligence is not one of their stronger points.

Then, after making sure he locked him in, Acht made the liquid transform into an arrow and detach itself from the bow.

*Swish*

The arrow was released and it flew towards the orc at a tremendous speed. It was very apparent from the start that it would be stronger than normal arrows.

*Boom*

The arrow struck the orc in the back and made it lose its balance immediately. The hit wasn't the most effective one out there but it was enough to give Acht some time to finish off these bastards.

So, without hesitation, the boy left his hiding place and charged at the monster like a tiger. Then, he jumped on top of the falling orc and charged his sword full of soul force before piercing his neck.

"WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" The orc shrieked as it felt its throat getting destroyed.

It tried to resist as it moved left and right to shake off Acht, but it ended up with a failure since his sword was plunged deep into its flesh so it was impossible to shake him off.

Then, with a low growl, Acht pulled the sword out and struck again, this time in his back exactly where his heart was.

The sword that was now full of Acht's soul energy was extremely sharp to the point where it could probably slice through hard steel like butter.

So, with a little to no resistance, the sword reached the heart and popped it like a balloon.

Immediately, the orc's resistance stopped and he fell down motionless with blood gushing out of its body endlessly.

'This was only one orc and it took me all this time to beat it? If I met a few of them it would've been a disaster.' Acht thought as he quickly took the orc's soul stone and stored it in his spatial ring before disappearing from that place.

Him finding one single orc that he was roaming the place alone was nothing but luck since when he came out of the alley, he found tens of them moving in groups of 3.

"Goddammit." He needed to think of a solution.

He then looked at Ooze and thought to himself.

'Wait, could that actually work?' He had this sudden idea that he didn't know if it could work or not.

"I need to know the area where controlling Ooze is still possible."

Then, he took a part of the black liquid and threw it to the ground before walking away as far as he could. He almost walked 40 meters away from it

Then, he tried to change its form, but it didn't work. So he approached it and tried to change its form but it still didn't work.

He kept trying and trying until he found where exactly it could be controlled.

"Approximately 20 meters. This should work."

Then, he immediately hid again from 30 orcs that came from another street.

While he was hiding, he took the black liquid and dissected it into small balls the size of his fingernails.

The whole liquid made almost 400 balls. Then, he took one of those and looked for a good target.

One of the orcs that were nearby apparently saw a human who was trying to hide before they came and killed him. So, in its anger, it opened its huge mouth and shouted loudly.

At that exact moment, Acht threw that ball with all of his strength towards its gaping mouth.

The ball swiftly cut through the air and ended up inside the orc.

The stupid orc didn't think much of it and swallowed the whole thing thinking it was a bug or a fly.

'Good boy.' Acht smiled and then did what he was intending to.

*Swish* *Thud*

The moving orc that seemed fine a second ago suddenly stopped moving and fell down to the ground. It didn't even scream or make any reaction, it just died silently.

Then, Acht ordered Ooze to come back to him and the liquid immediately exited the orc's mouth and came back to him without alerting the others.

The plan was a massive success. At first, it seemed to be such a stupid idea that no one could think of. But, when Acht pierced the orc's body, he discovered that its innards are actually quite soft and mushy in contrast to the extremely tough skin they had outside.

So, with that in mind, Acht grabbed these balls and started aiming them at the orcs one after the other.

Each time he killed one of them, they would try to look for anything weird around them that made their companions die like that but they couldn't find anything so they resumed their journey through the Capital.

In a matter of minutes, Acht was able to obliterate 30 orcs without breaking a sweat.

It was just stupidly strong now that he used it properly. This black liquid was almost like a cheat. Of course, it was a cheat-like thing because Acht knew how to use it to his total advantage.

After making sure there were none left nearby, he exited his hiding and started collecting the soul stone of these monsters. This amount of soul stones alone could make his soul level make a huge leap.

As he was about to collect the last one, a cold feeling filled his body and a sense of danger made him shudder. Instinctively, he moved his body away from the place where he was standing.

The next moment, a huge boulder fell down there and crushed the hard road like a graham cracker.

Acht turned extremely serious in a second, this was not a normal opponent, at all.

"Ywahhhhhhh!!!" The orc that screamed like that didn't look like the others.

It was taller and more muscular, its face was full of scars and the two fangs that protruded out of its mouth were broken.

What was striking about it, however, is that it was wearing more sane-like clothes that resemble slightly what humans wore.

"This stupidly strong aura." Acht felt a trickle of sweat fall down his face and his hands seemed to sweat too. He was slightly nervous.

It may look cowardly or maybe nonsensical, but he had all right to feel nervous and even run away for his life if necessary since this monster…was an A-Rank monster.
