Chapter 877 Orc-Dragon Soul

Boom!

The female twin unleashed a bolt of lightning on the Orc, stunning it for a moment as the male twin slashed with his long sword, drawing out a lot of blood.

"I'm not dead yet!" Trovar shouted as he rushed forth, a bloody figure of his original self as he slammed into the Orc, causing it to tumble to the ground. He raised his battle-axe and hacked into its neck, stunned to see it stop partway, "Tough bastard!"

Roar!

The Orc sent him flying, targeting his head this time. There was a sound akin to a tiny bubble being popped. It was Trovar's head bursting out from the impact as he slid down the wall like a broken puppet.

"Shit!" The male twin grunted in rage as he attacked the Orc's neck, using his long sword like a saw as he roared, "Die, bitch! Die!"

"Brother, duck!" The female twin said before shooting out a fireball that set the Orc on fire, causing it to let out a bloodcurdling scream. If not for its achilles heel getting cut off, it wouldn't have been possible for her to target it with such a slow attack.

"It's not dead yet…?" The male twin gasped in shock before firming himself, watching the Orc continue to crawl towards his sister despite being burned.

He poured the last of his mana into his blade and leaped into the air, unleashing a blade beam that formed an arc before slamming into the neck of the Orb, "Die!"

Clang!

Suddenly, a metallic sound resounded as the shockwaves snuffed out all the flames, revealing a scaly layer covering its skin as the Orc seemed to have gone mad. Its eyes reddened to the limit before a yellow scaly eye appeared in them.

"W-What the heck is that?" The male twin stared in alarm, high up in the air, noticing that his strongest attack was defended by the scaly armour, 'No, I still managed a cut. One more hit and I would be able to sever its neck!'

Bam!

Suddenly, a geyser of blood gushed out of its back and slammed into him, drenching him in it as the sheer impact toppled his balance. And as he flew towards the Orc, he was unable to react, his vision clouded by the blood covering his face, "What the…?"

"Brother!" The female twin hollered in despair as the Orc opened its mouth and clamped upon his body, crushing his lower half immediately.

"Bastard! I'll kill you!" The male twin roared as he thrust his sword into its eyes, losing all signs of life as the Orc crunched harder, swallowing him.

It then swerved its head and rushed at the female twin who bellowed in fury and unleashed lightning bolts in all directions, expending her lifeforce in the process. It stunned the Orc's body.

"I'll heal you!" Meyn rushed in her direction, unleashing her healing powers on the female twin, allowing her to keep up the attack.

Swoosh!

The Orc threw its cleaver that stabbed into Meyn's gut, embedding her into the wall. With the healing cut-off, the female twin was crushed by the Orc.

"D-Dammit!" Ying had just regained consciousness when he noticed the Orc's cleaver impaling Meyn—his older sister, and his sole family.

Rage clouded his vision as he rushed at the Orc and climbed its stunned body, staring at its scaly skin before noticing the deep cut on its neck, using all the mana he recovered thanks to the healing as he unleashed his strongest attack, severing its neck, "Die!"

<Ding!>

[First Accomplishment: Killed the Orc-Dragon]

[Obtained Reward: Orc-Dragon Soul]

[Congratulations to Hunter Ying for the being the first Hunter to kill an Orc-Dragon]

"Meyn!" Ying didn't care about the rewards as he rushed towards Meyn, "No, no, no!"

He stared at her body in despair, watching blood drip out of her, "P-Please, you said you wouldn't die."

[Brat, she's not dead.]

"Who's there?" Ying looked around in alarm, unable to see anyone else in his vicinity.

[Brat, you're the one who awakened me. Check your rewards. You still have a way to save your sister.]

Though confused, Ying didn't waste time, especially with his sister's life on the line as he hurriedly stared at his status. What he didn't notice was that there were two status panels before him.

The first one simply declared that he killed the Orc Boss and gained experience. But it was hidden from view by the second status panel that layered it at the top. And it was this that Ying saw, muttering, "Orc-Dragon Soul?"

[Yes, I'm the soul of the Orc-Dragon you just killed. I'm now your weapon.]

"Bastard, you were the one that killed…"

[Are you sure you have the time to argue with me? Your sister is about to die. Besides, unlike before when my intelligence was suppressed as a Dungeon Boss, I'm now fully awake and am yours to keep.]

"Fine!" He didn't wish to waste time so he asked in a hurry, "Quick! Tell me how to save my sister!"

[There's a special core in my corpse. Harvest that first!]

Ying hurriedly did as told as he rushed to his sister, alarmed upon noticing her body turning cold, "What now?"

[Place the core in her mouth and imagine yourself healing her injuries. The success depends on how well you do it.]

"Shit," He was nervous as he placed the Orc-Dragon Core in Meyn's mouth and recalled the actions his sister performed when healing others, tuning himself to the familiar energy signature.

Impressively, the Orc-Dragon Core melted in her mouth and flowed into her gut, healing her rapidly as the massive sword poking her was pushed out.

In truth, it was just the Secondary System activating a couple of Skills. It had absolutely nothing to do with Ying. But of course, he was ignorant of that.

"Sister!" Once her wounds healed, Ying noticed warmth return to her body, breaking into tears, "You're alive!"

He was then nervous once again, seeing no signs of his sister waking up, "Why isn't she getting up?"

[Your skill was absolutely lacking. Moreover, my powers aren't geared toward healing in the first place. You only managed to prevent her from dying. The shock from the attack put her in a coma. To wake her up, there's only one way.]

"What is it? Tell me! I'll do it!" Ying wasn't hesitant anymore, fully trusting it.

'Haha, it's done.' The Secondary System grinned in response as it spoke to him.

[The S-Grade Potion, Elven Tear. You need to obtain it.]

"Elven Tear…" Ying was alarmed, "There's only three of them in the world. Even an S-Rank Hunter has a hard time getting hands on one. And I'm a mere F-Rank Hunter. I might only be able to reach E-Rank even if I train for decades."

[Of course, that is what would happen, unless you didn't have me.]
