The Author's POV

Chapter 175

-Boooom!

"What's going on!?"

Feeling the tremendous explosion in the distance, the orc guarding Zornaraugh house looked towards the direction where the explosion originated from.

Because of the heavy rain, it was hard to discern what had happened. Glancing left and right, the orc suddenly took a step forward to get a better look at what had happened.

"huh? Who are you!"

-Step! -Step!

However, before he could find out what had happened, an obscure figure appeared a couple of meters from where he was standing.

...in a slow and steady manner.

Repeating once again, the orc shouted.

"I said who are you!"

"..."

He was once again met with total silence.

Feeling that something was wrong, raising his weapon a large double-edged axe in the air, the orc once again shouted as his voice shook the nearby surroundings and a powerful pressure exuded from his body.

"I've warned you already, state your name!"

-Kracka! -Kracka!

Stopping ten meters away from the orc, the figure took a stance as blue streaks of light appeared on the tip of his sword.

"Huh? E rank?"

As he stared at the figure before him, the orc was taken aback. That was because he was able to sense the person's strength.

...and what he found out shocked him, but not in a negative way.

He found out that the figure before him was only rank.

Something that was almost on the level of cannon fodder in this world, especially for him since he was already borderline .

To him was like swatting a fly.

...how could someone as weak as him actually think he could harm him?

"You think you can harm me with that pitiful amount of strength?"

Lifting his double-edged axe and pointing it towards Ren, the orc glared at him who remained still throughout the whole time as he gathered energy towards his sword.

Annoyed by the fact that he was once again being ignored, the orc decided to make amove.

"Since you won't talk, I'll make you talk"

-Boom

Tensing his muscles, the ground beneath the orc cracked as his body propelled forwards towards Ren's direction. In a swinging motion, the orc swung the heavy axe towards where Ren was standing.

"Die!"

Apathetically staring at the orc that was approaching him at extreme speeds, raising his left hand, Ren suddenly snapped his finger.

-Snap!

"Khh..hu?"

As soon as Ren's finger snapped, the orc suddenly found his body abruptly halting for a split second. Following that the world around him became dyed in white and the figure he was looking at disappeared.

A subtle clicking sound followed his disappearance.

-Click!

Appearing on the opposite side of the orc, was Ren's cold figure. Behind him, a blue trail of light appeared as the muffled sound of thunderbolts continuously resounded across the area.
