Six humans and one orc are inside the chamber. The orc was standing at the end of the chamber. It was an advanced type of orc called the Queen Orc. Queen Orc wields her bludgeon firmly while taking a defensive stance.
Six humans stand at the chamber's entrance. Each of them has a different class.
From left, their caster. She has long, straight, purple hair that is almost reaching down her thighs. She wears a brown robe that covers her body from her neck to her feet.
Next to her is their defender. He has a big body—about two times bigger than the average adult man, with two meters tall. He was wearing a dark gray full-plate armor along with his face, so his face was not visible. He carries a big shield that is almost as big as his body, and he wields the stem of the shield with two hands.
In the center, their vanguard, a golden-haired male with a large-white lance.
Beside him was a thin but tall man wearing glasses. His hair is red, with hair neatly combed back. Unlike the others, he is not wearing any armor, just an expensive-looking red tunic.
Beside him again is the priest, a woman wearing the same robe as the caster. She has blue hair and eyes.
Among them, only one person gave Queen the chills just by feeling his mana. It was the most conspicuous one in the middle, a man with golden hair.
"Yayaya… you troubled many people by killing all the explorers who came here… But actually, I don't really care; that has nothing to do with me." said the man with golden hair.
"This dungeon sure is strange, as the rumor said. Why is the Queen Orc, who should be on the seventh floor, here? On the first floor? Do you know something about this, Mathias?" The one who spoke was their caster, named Petronella. She talked with red-haired, glasses-wearing men.
"I don't know either. In these ten years, dungeon explorers from copper rank to palladium rank had never passed the first floor of this dungeon; it must be because Queen Orc is here. Even though I don't know why she is here in the first place. Poor Barony Barkaley, he cannot mine anything in the dungeon because of her existence," explained Mathias.
Mathias then speaks to the golden hair man.
"Your Highness Leofric, we should wait for other soldiers that are still on their way here."
Leofric then looked at him with a smile.
"Do you think I alone am not enough to defeat her?"
"No, your highness, it's just because of the many anomalies that occurred in this dungeon, and I just want to ensure our victory," Mathias responded, as if he was already used to Leofric's treatment.
"Well, your calculations are always right. Besides, you are a specialist on whom I rely. Without you now, we might end up going round and round the labyrinth without finding this chamber," said Leofric.
Then Leofric looked at Queen Orc.
"But don't worry, me and my weapon—Heit—are enough to fight the Queen Orc. That's why I brought caster Petronella, defender George, support archer Maurice, and Blanche, a first-rate priestess from the Church of the Water Spirit. They are all mithril-ranked dungeon explorers. That is enough to ensure our victory."
Meanwhile, Queen Orc muttered.
"They are strong, much stronger than any humans I have fought so far. Especially that golden-haired guy. I am not sure I can beat him. The dungeon reset should be soon. I should at least buy some time until the dungeon reset starts."
Queen Orc looked at the humans one by one.
'the only one I could kill immediately was that unprotected man, but he seemed to be purposefully not wearing any armor and purposely made me target him. If I were an ordinary monster, I would definitely target him first, but it will make my first move easy to read. At this rate, I will use the children.'
Queen Orc put down her bludgeon, took a deep breath, and shouted
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm "WUGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"
Because the room was covered with rocks, the sound reverberated, and some sand and small rocks fell from the ceiling due to the vibrations of Queen Orc's voice.
One minute left, and nothing happens.
"Oya? So as Mathias predicted, she really used that skill first. Queen Orc's original skill, she can control the orcs from afar. But how sad, I cannot see these orcs today. Nothing will come," said Leofric
Hearing that, Queen Orc was shocked.
'They've killed all the orcs on this floor?!! That means they've explored every path in this labyrinth and killed every monster on this floor. But it is impossible with just six people. There must be a lot of humans out there. This is a massive dungeon raid, not just one group of humans,' thought Queen Orc.
"I have no other choice," she muttered.
On the human side,
"Petronella, analyze what elemental spirits are here," Leofric ordered.
"There are wind spirits and soil spirits, my lord."
"Oya, it is good we brought Priestess Blanche with us; she brought the water spirits. With three elemental spirits on our side, Petronella can use almost any amnis."
Leofric then continued
"Petronella, use amnis buff types, increase George's defense to max, and give all the buff amnis you have to me."
"Yes, my lord."
Just as Petronella was about to raise her finger to activate an amnis…
-WUUUUUUSH
Queen Orc immediately ran towards Leofric.
"Oya, that is a smart move she made. She won't give us any time to get ready. George, hold it for me."
As a defender, George took a step in front of Leofric, facing the Queen Orc.
Queen Orc raised her bludgeon and smacked George, but George used his great shield to block it away.
-BOUNCE
Queen Orc's bludgeon bounced off.
'I used all my strength, and the shield was only scratched a bit,' thought Queen Orc.
However, due to Queen Orc's attack,
-SPLASH
Blood spurted from almost all over George's armor.
'the shield could stand, but the person could not.'
-SYUT
Maurice, the archer, shot the arrow that became lodged in Queen Orc's right arm. Queen Orc quickly pulled out the stuck arrow, and the arrow's imprint suddenly evaporated from Queen Orc's hand.
"Quite fast regeneration," said Maurice.
Queen Orc attacked George in all directions. George managed to block all Queen Orc's attacks even though blood never stopped spurting out of his armor. Every time Queen Orc attack Geroge, Maurice in every chance shoot Queen Orc. As a result, more than five arrows stuck in Queen Orc's body.
Behind Algar, Priestess Blanche was praying while drawing water symbols in the air.
"God, please return the mercy that your enemies wasted. Make him feel less pain and more hopeful in his desire to live."
Every bit of George's blood that spilled on the ground flowed back into his wound, the wound did not heal. It is just that Blanche amnis reduced the blood deficiency. Every time the Queen Orc smacked George, the blood spurted out from his armor, and every drop of blood spurted out, back to his body, so now George was surrounded by blood that flowed to his body.
Plus
"Clay guardian," Petronella starts chanting. George's body glowed brown. Petronella activates the defense buff for Georges. But even with a defense buff, the blood still spurted out of George's armor.
Along with the actions, Queen Orc glanced at Leofric and then thought
'He hasn't made a move yet. Is he waiting for his caster to add a buff amnis to him? Then I will attack him once after the amnis active,'
Buff-type amnis is an amnis that increases the opponent's stats such as attack, endurance, speed, etc. When an amnis user activates this kind of skill, the elemental spirits will send the user's mana to the target buff.
When the mana is sent to the target buff, it will make the target cannot move because their body needs time to adjust to the buff, which takes about 1 minute. Queen Orc was planning to attack Leofric when he could not move.
'it also means that this big shield guy is only buying time until that golden hair guy's preparations are complete. With adjustment time, plus the caster's chanting process when activating the amnis, it would take about 5 minutes, that is enough time to kill this big shield guy first."
But then Queen Orc noticed Leofric smiling, as Leofric knew what she was thinking.
Petronella took off her robe, raised both hands, and started drawing the command spell.
Seeing that, Queen Orc was shocked.
'What the hell, she used both hands to draw the command spell!'
With both hands, Petronella quickly drew a water symbol in her left hand and a soil symbol in her right hand at once.
Not five minutes. It took only one minute for Petronella to activate three amnis at once.
"Clay Guardian, Cyclone's Blast, Increase Stamina," Leofric's body glowed three times: yellow, white, and blue.
"George, back off and recover. You're almost dead," said Leofric.
George nodded, but Queen Orc didn't let him get away. Queen lastly smacked George's shield with all her strength.
-BRUG!!! KRANG!!!
His shield clattered just as loudly as the first time Queen Orc attacked him, but this time is different. Queen Orc's bludgeon didn't bounce. Unlike before, when Queen Orc focused her strength on her biceps, now, at the last moment, she focused her strength on her wrist. As a result, George's shield crumbles, and George's body looks motionless behind his shield. His body is most likely broken as a result of Queen Orc's smash.
"Mr. George!" Blanche yelled.
Blanche's ability is no longer active. Blood no longer enters his body, which is already crushed. All of his bones must be broken inside.
On the other side, Queen Orc's wrist was bent. Queen Orc took the blade from her waist and cleaved her bent wrist.
When the five people inside the chamber saw it, they were taken aback.
Queen's cut hand did not evaporate and heal; no blood fell to the floor; instead, the blood on his hand was squirming and building, creating new hand structures.
"Oya oya! That is an incredible regeneration!"
Unlike his party members, Leofric was in awe of the Queen's regeneration process.
