VRMMORPG: Dragomancer Reborn-Chapter 179 Trunel Orc Leader
Arthur quickly made his way out of the cave before sneaking out to the place where he had hidden his armor. But he didn't take it out right away.
Instead, he was alert and checked whether anyone noticed him or followed him. Only after he was 100% sure of it did he change back into the Ember Bellow Set.
"Now to just safely escape…" With that said Arthur went to the very edge of the camp and continued towards the spot that he had entered from.
This way there were fewer chances of people discovering him. After all, while the Bandits were patrolling the camp regularly, there were still plenty of gaps left that Arthur could exploit using his newly gained Stealth skill.
It took him about thirty minutes to reach the hole that he had entered from before he safely left it.
"Phew~ Now to find the Orcs." Arthur took a breath of relief.
The next part of Arthur's plan involved the Orcs, but to make it effective, he needed to make use of a Bounty.
"The Trunel Orc Leader bounty will work. It should be a decent provocation for the Orcs." Arthur muttered to himself.
He thus began his search for the Trunel Orc leader. Thankfully, Arthur knew exactly where it would be and it didn't take him that long.
The Trunel Orc Leader was located in a small Orc Camp that was between the inner and middle areas of the Trunel Woods. It was right in the middle of the Bandit Hideout, and the main Orc settlement that was Arthur's target.
As such, he wouldn't waste much time and it was on the path.
It took him about twenty minutes to reach there and once he was there, he first took a look at the area.
"Let's see…" Arthur hid behind some trees while checking the direction of the wind to make sure it was blowing toward him.
If the wind was blowing towards the Orcs, they would pick up on his scent and become alert. He didn't wish to have that happen after all. Plus, his stealth skill helped in hiding his presence even more.
The Orc Camp was rather small and looked more like a hunting camp that humans would make. The Orcs had set up a couple of crude but large tents that could fit their large figure.
The tents looked to be made from animal pelts that had been ripped and then stitched somehow.
Other than that there was no fire burning. As Orcs didn't need fire to cook most of the time when outside. They were fine eating meat raw as well as cooked.
Arthur had studied the behavior of a lot of mobs and knew about Orcs as well. The missing fire meant that it was hard to track down their camps unless one had a skill for it.
At the same time, if an Orc camp did have a fire, it meant that it was controlled by a very strong Orc.
Though even this camp was controlled by a stronger Orc.
Arthur gazed at them and found there to be about 6 of them.
There were five normal sized Orcs that were just roaming around and a single large Orc that was sitting and eating from a beast corpse.
'There it is,' Arthur used his skill.

Arthur checked the stats of the Orcs, and focused on the leader as it was the only concerning one. All the other Orcs were similar to the one that Arthur had killed earlier and weren't a match for him at all.
'Hmm, it shouldn't be an issue. Though the Emboldening Shout might attract more Trunel Orcs.' Arthur analyzed the situation.
After thinking for a bit, he reckoned the use of Brambles will make it easier here.
"Come out Brambles," Arthur summoned the beetle, who appeared right in front of the Orcs.
"KRIIII!" As soon as Brambles saw the Orcs in front of him, he knew it was time to fight.
Without even Arthur needing to instruct him, Brambles used its horn and slammed into the nearest Orc.
"OGHHHHH!" The Orc was hit with a great force and was knocked away.
[-55% HP]
The power of Brambles was demonstrated here as it had done over 50% of damage and still not triggered a Critical Hit.
This meant that his attack was so high that even normal ones could deal a lot of Damage.
Whereas when Critical hits were triggered, it was higher than normal damage. Arthur targeted weakness to trigger the Critical hits more.
'Brambles can handle the weaklings, I'll get to the leader.' Arthur thought and saw the leader stand up.
"GHOOOOOOOOOO!" The Trunel Orc Leader had seen its kin get attacked and directly used its skill.
>Trunel Orc Leader has used Emboldening Shout! Nearby Trunel Orcs will be attracted!<
"Here they come!" Arthur could hear the shouts of the Orcs in the distance and knew it was time to act.
~WHOOSH~
He rushed through the Orcs that were busy fighting Brambles and directly went towards the Orc Leader.
"Prepare to Die! SPEAR COATING! SKEWER!" Without wasting a moment, Arthur used two skills in a row, turning his spear a chilling blue blur.
The Trunel Orc Leader obviously saw Arthur approaching, but couldn't react against his superior speed. It barely managed to raise its club before Dietrich pierced through its body.
[-80% HP]
[Critical Hit!]
[-3% HP] [Frost Damage]
>Trunel Orc Leader has been inflicted with bleed!<
[-1% Hp] [Bleed]
The attack was devastating for the Trunel Orc Leader as blood continued to spill out of its chest as well as its mouth. Its tusks were stained red from the blood, and its eyes were bulging in a mix of anger and pain.
>Dragon Horn Beetle has killed Trunel Orc!<
>Dragon Horn Beetle has obtained 2% Experience<
In this time, Brambles also managed to kill the first Orc, while damaging several more.
~SLICK~
Of course, Arthur was not going to let the Orc leader have a chance to do anything either and quickly drew out the spear.
[-5% HP]
[-3% HP] [Frost Damage]
[-1% Hp] [Bleed]
Even that minor act caused it to lose more of its HP bringing it close to its death.
~THUD~
The Trunel Orc Leader fell to the grass, unable to muster any strength. Its club also laid beside it, stained with its blood.
"Wait and die here, while I wipe the others out." Arthur said, before turning to join Brambles.
>Dragon Horn Beetle has killed Trunel Orc!< x 3
>Dragon Horn Beetle has obtained 6% Experience<
But before Arthur even got to it, Brambles swung his large horn, tearing through three Orcs that were trying to attack him. It killed them instantly, as their ribs were crushed and embedded into their organs.
"That's fast… though we have more coming our way." Arthur saw the reinforcements arriving. "Not an issue then."
Arthur rushed towards the new Orcs and swung his spear.
"Wide Sweep!"
[-10% HP]
[-2% HP] [Frost Damage]
[-10% HP]
[-2% HP] [Frost Damage]
[-10% HP]
[-2% HP] [Frost Damage]
The three new Orcs that had arrived were struck in a row and a thin layer of frost settled on their bodies.
"Rapid Thrust!" without giving them a chance, Arthur used another skill, poking one of the Orcs to death.
[-18% HP]
[-2% HP] [Frost Damage]
[-22% HP]
[-2% HP] [Frost Damage]
[-34% HP]
[-2% HP] [Frost Damage]
>Player Arzhur has killed A Trunel Orc!<
Arthur then dodged the club from the nearby Orc and stabbed it directly.
[-18% HP]
[-2% HP] [Frost Damage]
It didn't hit well though and cut through the Orc's arm.
~thud~
>Trunel Orc has been disarmed!<
Still, it was enough to force the Orc to drop its club which Arthur took advantage of and kicked him away.
[-2% HP]
The kick didn't deal much damage but allowed Arthur to put some distance between them and deal with the third Orc.
>Player Arzhur has killed A Trunel Orc!< x 2
>Player Arzhur has obtained 3% Experience!<
>Trunel Orc Leader has died from bleeding!<
>Player Arzhur has obtained 10% Experience!<
A minute later, he had killed all Orcs and was now able to relax. Though killing the three Orcs had only netted him a limited amount of experience.
