BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 Battling With Contract Beasts Part 1
Rishi and his teammates fought another group of Orcs; this time there were 20 Orcs. All members were more aware of their roles now. They began searching for another group to fight, but even after four hours of searching, they could not find a single Orc.
"It appears they are cautious now and will not venture further away from their village," Dev said.
"Let's rest for a while; then we'll search near their village," Ajit suggested.
They all rested for two hours and ate lunch before beginning their journey toward the village. They were soon all in Orc territory. "We're 1 km from the village; let's start looking," Rishi said.
They all decided to go in different directions and eventually met at the exact location after completing their search.
Rishi and his guild members met after some time; They were disappointed by the results because all of the Orc groups they discovered were either too small or too large.
"Rishab, you are the guild leader; you decide how we proceed," Dev said. All guild members waited for Rishi to respond.
"We will fight," Rishi declared. This statement boosted the group's morale.
"We've all trained hard enough; how will we defeat their entire village if we can't even defeat a few? Our main goal was to start training. We've held back long enough; now it's time to unleash our full force and crush our opponents," he said. Everyone applauded in response to Rishi's announcement.
"Let's go; we can't afford to waste any more time, or they'll return to the village," suggested Dev.
"How far is that group you saw, Jay?" Ajit asked.
"We'll get there in five minutes," Jay replied.
"Then lead us to that group," Rishi said. Jay began leading all guild members, and they all arrived at the location quickly.
Rishi examined the large group of orcs and used his second mode of the 'Inspect' skill to learn more about them.
NAME: Common Orc
NUMBER: 51
AVERAGE LEVEL: From Common stage level 6 to Advanced stage level 4.
STRENGTHS: Physical strength and defense are far superior to other species of the same level.
WEAKNESS: below-average intelligence, short temper, and low mobility.
NATURE: cruel, belligerent, vicious, and sadistic.
STATUS: Healthy.
"There are 51 of them in total; the lowest level Orc is level 6, and the highest level Orc is advanced stage level 4," Rishi explained.
"Dilip, when their leader enters the battle, you'll face it while Rishab takes your place," Dev explained. Dilip grinned with delight when he learned he could take on the strongest Orc; It was all because he kept annoying Rishi and eventually convinced him to let him fight the next Orc leader.
"First, let them get close, then summon your contract beasts to surprise them and kill many of them when they're caught off guard. We'll use this tactic again when raiding other dungeons, just like we practiced," Rishi suggested. Everyone agreed to follow Rishi's advice because there was no harm in summoning their contract beasts late, whereas a surprise summon could distract the Orcs.
"Dilip and Manu, you'll be our main burst damage dealers when they're confused; don't be fooled by their numbers; 80% of them are on the common stage."
"Rishab and Jay shoot some arrows to force them to attack us; Rishi target advanced stage Orcs, while Jay will try to injure as many of them as possible by launching arrows at the gathering point," Dev explained.
Rishi scanned the group and chose the three orcs lined up as his target, while Jay decided to target the low-level orcs to kill as many as possible.
"Attack now," Dev ordered. Rishi, who was already aimed at his target, used his only archery skill, 'whirling arrow,' and fired his arrow.
The arrow began moving very quickly toward his target. After some time, it hit its target on the head, killing it instantly, but this was not the end.
The arrow continued to move forward, piercing the heads of two more orcs. Rishi didn't expect the arrow to keep moving, piercing the neck and chest areas of five other orcs lined up behind Rishi's initial three targets.
Simultaneously, Jay used the "Arrow Rain" skill to shoot twenty arrows in a row. This was a low-level skill due to its accuracy, but it was a nightmare for the enemies grouped up together.
It was even more effective when used against low-level opponents. Jay's arrows struck the orcs randomly, killing them; his attack killed four orcs and injured 8. Jay was less effective because the orcs were far away; if they had been a little closer, he would have killed at least 15.
"Great shot, Rishab, and great spray, Jay. Now, everyone, get ready for the counterattack; also, get ready to do burst damage after summoning your contract beasts," Dev said.
They all lined up in their previous formation, the only difference being that they were standing a little further apart to make room for their contract beasts.
The cries of their fellow Orcs alerted all the Orcs; they all became terrified when they saw the corpses of their people around them, but they all calmed down when they heard a roar: "Chhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" Because it was their leader's command, they all obeyed and regrouped.
"Chiii," the Orc leader said to the humans who had murdered his soldiers. He directed all Orcs to attack the scumbag humans. All orcs charged at the humans, seeking vengeance for their brethren's deaths.
Dev allowed the Orcs to reach a 15-meter distance before commanding, "Summon your contract beasts."
Everyone in the guild obeyed Dev's command and summoned their contract beasts. Jay summoned Tofan, his recently evolved 'Crystal Equidae,' The meaning of Tofan in Hindi is Storm. Lalit summoned his contract beast, followed by Ajit, Dev, and Manu.
Finally, Rishi summoned his second contract beast, 'Vakar,' and ordered it to attack the Orcs on the other side of the approaching wave. Vakar used his 'Rainy day' ability, and clouds appeared above the approaching enemies, followed by rain. Vakar then used his passive skill, 'Water manipulation,' to control the tiny water droplets and merged five droplets to form a bigger water drop before casting his 'Water bullet' skill on the more considerable water drop to attack the enemies.
Rishi created this combo by combining three skills of Vakar; he named it 'Blood Rain.'
Jay used his skill 'Arrow Rain' again at the same time, and after using it, he attacked the Orcs again with another 'Arrow Rain,' after which he stopped because he didn't have Vakar's massive mana pool. Rishi also used the Whirling Arrow to attack the oncoming enemies.
