Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !-Chapter 163: Fighting Oscar!

Their leader, so arrogant a moment before, had been so easily wounded?

"So what do you think of the strength of a Dravak who has awakened his bloodline?" declared Oscar in a scornful tone.

However, he himself was surprised.

He had to know that this skill couldn’t be used so easily!

When Dravaks awakened their bloodline, they usually acquired skills.

But these skills all had a recharge time.

His fire spit could only be used once every 3 minutes, while his fireball shot took even longer. He had to wait 10 minutes between shots!

But that was good enough for him; most Dravaks only awakened one skill, so he was doing pretty well.

"It’s strong. But I hope you’ve got something else up your sleeve, otherwise it’s the end for you." replied Maxime, his eyes cold.

Oscar frowned and drew his sword, forged from a highly reinforced alloy.

"Obviously, he can’t use this magic indiscriminately," Maxime thought.

Then he smiled.

"Saber-toothed tigers!" he suddenly shouted, covering the noise on the battlefield.

All the mercenaries stopped fighting temporarily, and looked at their leader strangely.

But the elite squad who had accompanied their leader guessed roughly at his intentions.

"For many of you, we haven’t seen each other for very long, and we haven’t had the opportunity to fight together," he continued in his deafening voice.

Oscar did nothing; it was to his advantage to play for time.

Kaelor pushed Kaite and Dravus, who had come to his aid, aside violently, then stood next to Oscar.

"What’s that human doing?" he asked strangely.

When he shouted, it was as if the battlefield had shifted.

No, it hadn’t tilted, it had literally paused!

Even the Shibuya and Dravaks present unconsciously listened to his words!

That was how influential this young man was!

"I don’t know, and I don’t care. Anyway, he’ll die as soon as my skills recharge. So this battle will be over very quickly," Oscar replied, clearly not worried.

Ever since he’d awakened his bloodline, he’d despised everyone on this battlefield except the human commander and his own commander.

And he even thought that if he met the human commander, he might succeed in defeating him.

Kaelor didn’t add anything: although he was better than Oscar at hand-to-hand combat, he didn’t possess skills as strong as Oscar’s. So, overall, he was still a better fighter than Oscar.

So, overall, he remained weaker than Oscar.

Even seeing his two skills in action made him feel afraid.

Kaite took advantage of the brief respite, but his mood was spoiled when he saw Langus’s charred corpse.

The two of them were very close, and even though she knew he could be resurrected, she didn’t look too good when she saw his inert body.

Dravus also noticed Langus’ body, but only glanced at it before returning his gaze to Maxime.

Maxime was standing there.

His naked torso in plain sight gave him a wild look.

But whoever looked at him couldn’t help but find him particularly handsome, whether male or female.

His white eyes made him particularly striking.

At the same time, he continued his speech:

"I’m going to take advantage of the fact that you’re here, to show you why your boss is your boss!"

He knew he must have a few youngsters left in Plouta who weren’t convinced after gaining strength.

So he also wanted to take this opportunity to reassert his authority over these recruits.

Maxime’s bold announcement aroused strong emotions in the Saber-toothed Tigers.

The Shibuyas looked on strangely, unconvinced.

Even their captain had been defeated by this Dravak, so they really didn’t trust him.

"Shit, what’s he doing here?"

"He should be waiting for his super-powered men to come and help him so they can help him defeat that Dravak with horns!"

"Damn, and I thought I could stay alive after that battle..."

But they still held out a little hope.

For if this young man died, they would lose the support of his elite mercenaries.

The leader of the Saber-toothed Tigers did not waver. It was time to show why he was the leader of this team.

"Watch me, observe me, then copy me!"

As he spoke, he charged wordlessly in Oscar’s direction.

"So it’s still brute force eh..." muttered Oscar dismissively.

He drew his own sword and rushed towards Maxime as well.

His physical strength and sword skills were not weak!

Maxime and Oscar met in the middle of the battlefield in a clash that shook the air around them. Their collision was so violent that it caused a visible shockwave.

Maxime’s face was calm, while Oscar’s expression was ferocious.

Maxime’s every blow seemed calculated to exploit the slightest weakness in Oscar’s posture. The latter, however, remained confident, dodging and blocking attacks with controlled fluidity.

The Saber-toothed Tigers watched with fascination and nervousness. For the first time, they had seen their leader fight with such intensity.

However, the elites who had followed Maxime were not at all worried.

Each time he had overcome the unthinkable, and this time would be no different.

So they had blind faith in their leader.

Even Andrew, who was a proud man, could only bow to his leader’s methods!

But what they didn’t know was that a Dravak with an awakened bloodline was something far more powerful than anything they’d faced so far.

Some species of orc existed in the Omega and Delta universes, but without exception, most were barely in the top 1000 races in each universe, in terms of individual combat power.

Maxime himself was well aware that he couldn’t face Oscar head-on for long.

As Oscar struck horizontally with colossal force, Maxime deftly dodged by rolling to the side, taking advantage of his opponent’s lost momentum to counter-attack with a swift, precise blow to the back of his armor.

Although the armor’s alloy absorbed most of the impact, Oscar grunted, taken by surprise.

Maxime, sensing that the decisive moment had arrived, leapt back to prepare for a final attack. His voice, clear and resonant, rose above the chaos:

"Saber-toothed tigers! Strength and honor!"

Then he launched himself, laser sword brandished, straight at Oscar.

But Oscar smiled.

"This is the human end," he declared in a confident, contemptuous tone.

Then he opened his mouth, and a jet of fire very similar to the one thrown at Langus was projected at very short range at Maxime!

All the mercenaries saw the extremely ferocious jet of fire, and were suddenly very worried.

Maxime caught it head-on, and his whole silhouette was suddenly covered in flames.

But Oscar couldn’t keep his smile any longer, because before he could close his mouth, a laser was in it!

The laser waves were so strong, he thought his mouth had never been so hot!

Not even a spit of fire could compare.

Before he could say anything, the laser suddenly went up, splitting his skull in two.

Then a hoarse, very strange voice emerged from the flames.

"This is what happens when you open your mouth too much."

Oscar’s headless body collapsed heavily to the ground.

The Dravaks were speechless.

This human had killed a Dravak with an awakened bloodline!

And he had killed him alone!

However, Maxime’s body was still burning, which was not a good result for humans!

Langus, who was almost as strong physically as Maxime, was dead!

Andrew was one of the first to react:

"Save him chief!"

Andrew’s cry created a click, and the Saber-toothed Tiger elites rushed in first.

But Kaite and Dravus, who were closest, were the first to position themselves beside Maxime.

"Kill that human! Once he’s dead, it’ll be our victory!" shouted Kaelor loudly.

The 2,500 Dravaks still alive after the short confrontation immediately began to open fire in the direction of Maxime’s body, which had just collapsed to the ground.

The Shibuya were quick to react, too, and opened fire in the direction of the Dravaks.

Chaos ensued immediately, and the situation was highly unfavorable to the humans, who were outnumbered.

"Hey, Dravak friend! Take the chief with you and run! We’ll hold them here!" Andrew’s powerful voice echoed in Dravus’ ears.

Dravus looked strangely at the red-haired young man in front of him.

"Who are you?"

"This is no time for questions! The boss is going to die! And if he dies, you’ll die too!" replied Andrew fiercely.

"Besides, we can’t hold out much longer! At most, another 20 minutes, because the chef’s active talent has a limited lifespan!"

Andrew’s words woke Dravus, who immediately nodded.

He picked up Maximus’ body, still surrounded by flames, and ran towards the forest.

If he flew away, he’d never be able to escape the pursuit of his former comrades, he knew that very well.

The flames burned him too, but thanks to Viviana’s talent, he was able to resist them despite the intense pain.

At the same time, he looked at Maxime’s body, which still seemed to be fighting against the flames.

"Decidedly, this master has a good will," he thought in amazement.

At that moment, his disdain for humans diminished to some extent, and a spark of respect was born for his new leader.

At the same time, countless silhouettes wanted to chase Dravus, but in front of them was the elite mercenary squad that had stopped hundreds of orcs, far more powerful than them, with their own bodies!

And now they had a 3-point physique thanks to the activation of Maxime’s talent as well as a talent blessed by the goddess Viviana!

On this battlefield, they were afraid of no one!
