”Hmph!”

After taking the initiative to be the first among them to fight against an orc leader, Hal went ahead and applied his usual string of stat-boosting skills on himself before delving deep into the battlefield once more.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Unsurprisingly, the man moved at a speed and manner that was incomparable to before, making it seem as if he were an artistic swimmer following the current of water.

Nevertheless, that kind of image immediately disappeared as the orcs along his path sensed the amount of power he held, knowing how much trouble heʼd bring if he were to attack the more important orcs.

With that, a considerable portion of the orcs along his path decided to abandon their current fights as they focused all of their thoughts on obstructing the man before them.

Yet, before those orcs could even think of landing a hit on him…

Schwing!

Without hesitation, Hal unsheathed the blade that had accompanied him throughout the inheritance and the battlefield.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Then, putting all of his strength behind it, he began to slice through the orcs obstructing him, all of his attacks aiming for their vital parts.

”Graaagh!!!”

”Ghwek…!”

To no surprise, many of the orcs that tried to obstruct him fell to the ground from just a single attack of his.

However, rather than feel immense fear from the attack that ended their comradesʼ lives, the orcs that lived through his first attack decided to double down and strike once more, their brush with death giving them greater realization that the man before them was no simple human.

Swoosh!

Unfortunately, just like the orcs that came before them, Hal took care of them as if he were cutting through butter, carving out a path that eventually put him in front of an orc leader that met the missionʼs criteria.

”Damn.” Watching Hal carve out a path on the battlefield from afar, it took a while for Valyr to find the right words to say. ”I guess him being called the War Saint definitely isnʼt unfounded.”

”Wait till you see him fight against the orc leader,” said Vera in response, causing the young man to become curious as he focused his gaze on Hal once more.

”Grhgyʼz! Grmssh grgeeegh!!!” Seeing how a great portion of the orcs making up his squad had fallen victim to the blade of the man in front of him, it went without saying that the orc leader was incredibly furious when Hal appeared before him.

Unfortunately for the orc leader, the man did not care what it felt, considering the number of human lives that had fallen victim to its strength.

Being reminded of the sacrifices the human race had done to get to its current point, Hal tightly gripped onto the hilt of his blade as he watched the orc leader charge at him.

”[Intent of the Samsara Blade].”

Whoosh!

Channeling all of his strength into one attack, Hal went ahead and infused his blade with the energy of his Intent, causing the bladeʼs edge to turn a faint murky gray.

Then, watching the orc leader swing down its massive war hammer at his head, Hal let out a slight exhale before swerving to the orc leaderʼs side.

”[Blade of Six Paths].”

”[Asura Tearing the Skies]!”

Swoosh!

Not wanting to miss the opening heʼd given himself, Hal went ahead and struck at the side of the orc leaderʼs torso, immediately feeling his blade go through a set of sturdy bones.

Though, after putting a bit more pressure onto the hilt, the blade eventually cut through its target in its entirety, bisecting the orc leaderʼs body before it even realized what was going on.

Thud. Thud.

As the two halves of the orc leaderʼs body fell to the ground, the surroundings around Hal temporarily fell into a lull as both orcs and humans looked at the man with incredulity.

Briefly glancing at the people that were fighting against the orcs with him, Hal faintly nodded at them before cutting off a part from the orc leader, only to return to where both Valyr and Vera were soon after.

Swoosh!

Watching the humans fight with even greater ferocity after Halʼs domineering method of fighting, a faint smile appeared on Valyrʼs face as he looked at the man that returned.

Considering the number of orcs heʼd killed along the way, it went without saying that a great portion of Halʼs body was covered in blood.

Then again, none of it came from his own body.

”I suppose Iʼll be going next, then?” With Hal tossing the part heʼd cut off to Valyr, Vera looked at Valyr for a bit before asking him which among them would go first.
