An orc, perhaps. They were dangerous creatures—born warriors that formed settlements and attacked humans in groups. I hadn’t expected to run into one, but judging by its reduced health, I figured this was a stray that had wandered here.

Our sudden encounter had left us less than five meters apart. Yet the orc remained unaware of my presence behind it thanks to my use of Stealth. In a moment, I activated Boost at maximum power to accelerate my thoughts. This was an opportunity. The opponent may have been superior to me, but with my current combat power, it wasn’t an overwhelming adversary.

Facing it head-on would put me at a disadvantage given our difference in brute strength, so I was going to use everything I had at my disposal to dispatch it. My plan was an ambush—an instant kill using all of my power. Within five seconds of spotting the orc, I wrapped one of my pendulums around a branch and used my momentum to swing up into the tree.

“Buh?” I hadn’t made a sound, but still the orc turned around with a grunt, sensing the slight disturbance in the air caused by my movement.

I was no longer there, however. Using shadow magic, I created the shape and sound of a rabbit leaping into a nearby bush. The orc’s senses were keen, and it was instantly able to spot the illusory animal through Detection, which made it lower its guard. I took the opportunity to leap up from the branch. Instead of my usual black knife made of magic steel, I drew a slender knife from my boot in midair.

This slim knife was the last of the ones I’d gotten from Sera. It was of mass-produced steel make, which meant it was unsuitable for cutting, but it had excellent piercing power. As long as the orc had Boost active, the muscle covering its body acted as armor. However, it was distracted, off guard, and relaxed, and so I managed to plunge the slim blade deep into its neck from above, putting all my weight behind it.

“Bwooooah?!”

Before the orc’s brain could register the attack, I let go of the knife, pivoted into its blind spot, and used my black knife to slash at the other side of its neck. Though the orc’s health points drained rapidly, my knife halted mid-slice, caught on its muscles. I let go of that knife as well, then drew yet another from my waist—the steel dressing knife Feld had given me. Though I normally reserved this one for taking apart game, the blade itself was quite good, with the attack power of a single strike being comparable to that of the black knife.

I circled around behind the orc and, fully confident that it would turn around, brandished the steel knife with all my might. “Thrust!”

As the creature finally realized it was under attack and turned, my Dagger Mastery technique shot through its mouth, avoiding its thick skull, and pierced its brain.
