Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

He has also seen one of their generals bringing an army to the northern territory of the forest to subdue the Lightning Draconic serpent. It was also around that time that he encountered Lucine who was hiding her presence watching every one of them.

"Since the Diluvian High Orcs came all the way to the eastern region of the forest, it must mean that they are under the orders of Orc King or at least the Orc general. They have already spotted the dungeon and the town above, there is no way they are going to leave the place alone. Since they dared to come to my territory, I as the master must let them know who they are up against".

Simon stared at the ceiling more precisely at the town aboveground. A few hours later, Simon along with Annette, Bianca and Alice teleported near the vicinity of the tower town.

To not get spotted by the humans, he did not bring the Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse with him. As usual, Simon masked his appearance with the trinket of Grimlock so even if they do get spotted by the adventurers, they would look just like humans.

Though some might doubt what maids were wearing armours doing here, there was nothing Simon could do about that.

"Let's go…" He used his mental map skill and using the darkness of the night, they sprinted towards the area where he could sense some monsters gathering.

On the side note, the Valkyries were perfectly able to see in the darkness thus moving at night was not a problem to them.

RUSTLE… RUSTLE… a group of seven high orcs and one Diluvian High Orcs, came out of the bushes. They used their sharp noses to sniff around the surroundings searching for any humans that tried to come out of the town.

Sniff… Sniff…

Suddenly, the group of orcs smelled a particular scent coming not far away from here and quickly gave chase towards their direction. They ran across the forest and soon appeared in front of a small clearance that was clearly human-made.

"Guga?" Seeing that there was no one, the high orcs tilted their heads in confusion and communicated with each other. The scene went on for a few seconds before the towering Diluvian High Orc, pushed the others aside and used its snout to track the scent.

A Diluvian High Orc's sense of smell was many times stronger than an ordinary orc thus it was quickly able to identify the location of their opponent.

The Diluvian High Orc quickly took out its peculiar butcher knife made of bones and parried the numerous flame spears that came from the top of the tree.

BOOM… BOOOM… the Diluvian High Orc was pushed back by the might of the flame spears and even suffered some severe burns around its arms. Nevertheless, it was able to parry all the attacks targeting its body.

Though, the high Orcs around it weren't as fortunate. Unable to grasp the hidden attack, they were instantly skewered by the flame spears and exploded into bloody gores.

"Guga?!!" Surprised at the might of the enemy, the Diluvian High Orc tried to turn tail and run; however, at that moment a shadow crept up behind it, grabbed its huge body and lifted it above the ground like it was a sack of potato.

BAM… the next second the shadow slammed the body of the Diluvian High Orc onto the ground creating a small depression in the process.

The one who effortlessly picked up a body multiple times bigger than her was none other than Bianca. She looked at the terrified diluvian high orc with her emotionless eyes and was just about to step on its head with her heels and pop it like a watermelon, when Simon stopped her.

Bianca immediately retracted her foot and as always, stood motionless like a doll near it. Simon, Annette and Alice came out of their hiding spot and surrounded the wounded orc.

"Oi… can you understand us? if so then tell me what are you all doing here?" Simon pointed the blade of his crimson sword right between its eyes.

The Diluvian High Orc reeled in fear and spouted out some garbled words that did not evoke any response from his [Language Comprehension] skill.

"Master it seems like it's not intelligent enough to converse with a different race" Annette remarked.

"Right, I guess this guy is just a foot soldier. If we want to know more about their objectives, we need to capture someone higher in ranking" Simon stated losing interest immediately.

He nodded towards Bianca and along with Annette and Alice disappeared into the bushes. The fallen Diluvian High Orc thought it was safe when a heel inserted into its face creating a small hole through its skull.

After finding the first group of orcs, Simon and his team using the cover of the night, lured multiple teams of orcs towards them. Some of the groups were carrying captured humans who were indirectly saved due to Simon clearing the groups of orcs.

All the Diluvian high orcs that he met, were mere foot soldiers and incapable of communicating with them. After defeating more than ten groups and saving more than fifteen humans, Simon and his team started moving away from the vicinity of the tower town.

Of course, when fighting these groups, Simon did not directly show his face and only appeared when the captured humans ran away. That way, even if they went back to the town and reported what was going on, nobody would be able to connect it with him.

"Master, there is a large group of orcs swiftly approaching this place" After walking a few distances away from the town, finally a big group of orcs took the bait.

"How many of them are there? Are there carrying any captured humans?" Simon asked back.

Alice who had the ability to scout things from far away and was currently their eyes and nose, reported "There are more than twenty five orcs, five of which are Diluvian High Orcs… no humans spotted".

Simon's crimson eyes blazed a glaring red when he heard that there were five Diluvian high Orcs on that group. If there were five in that group, there was a high chance that there was an orc commander or an orc captain leading them.

Tremble… Tremble… the ground trembled with the march of this many orcs rushing together at once. If one asked why these orcs were all running towards the same place, the answer for it would be because they have smelled the scent of their prey.

The numerous orcs led by the Diluvian High Orcs, swiftly traversed through the forest and appeared in front of the prey whose scent they sensed from miles away. There were four humans in front of them, one male and three females.

ROAARRR... the Diluvian High Orc in the lead, roared trying to intimidate and break the fighting spirit of its enemies. With his roar, the surrounding orcs started encircling the four humans in the centre.

"GUGAGA… more puny humans came out of their cave it seems. Looks like the lesson earlier when we massacred their group did not get across their small brains" the leader Diluvian High Orc laughed.

It was carrying a huge hammer made of bones on his back. The other diluvian orcs laughed at the joke made by their leader and stared at the rooted humans menacingly. From their perspective, the four in front of them looked just like the human adventurers they have ambushed a while back.

Given the power of the orcs and their successful hunt these past few days, it was only natural that the group was overflowing with confidence and eager to shed blood. From what they could see, the four humans were rooted in their place because they were paralysed with fear.

The leader orc revealed a hideous smile, he was just about to give the command to capture them, when suddenly he realised that the four facing them were not at all afraid nor did they show any emotions in front of their numbers.

Usually, when the orcs hunted, their prey most often than not would either try to run away or show an intense emotion of fear in front of them. The same was the case with the earlier group of humans that came out of the town.

After they were ambushed, they were so afraid that some of them even ran in different directions leaving the rest to die. The Leader Diluvian High Orc thought the same would be the case this time. However, to his surprise, it couldn't sense any sort of fear from his opponent.

While it was thinking such, it saw the male human finally reveal a wicked smile that even gave it chills.

"We finally found one that can talk properly. Leaving that one, kill the rest" the man pointed out nonchalantly. The leader Diluvian High Orc realised something was very very wrong; however it was already too late, the die had already rolled.

The moment Simon gave that order Bianca like a fierce beast, pounced on the high orcs and started tearing them apart one after another. She was so fast that the high rocs weren't even able to get any vision of her before they are blasted apart into smithereens by a punch or a kick.

Bianca may seem a little dozy and her method of killing may look messy and gruesome. However, she was meticulous enough to not let even a droplet of blood stain her clothes.

GUGA… the high orcs were being butchered left and right, none of them were a match for Bianca.

Seeing this, the Diluvian Orcs except for the leader charged towards the Valkyrie in attempt to hold her down. But how could a level 699 [Imperial Aegis Knight] be stopped by some mere Diluvian High Orcs whose level were only around level 350?
