Chapter 53 Battling With Contract Beasts Part 2

Dilip and Manu mounted their contract beasts and slaughtered as many Orcs as they could before they recovered. Dev and Ajit attacked too, joined them, and attacked the nearby Orcs. Lalit also pushed the Orcs in front of him before commanding his contract beast to stomp on them to finish them off.

As the name suggested, 'Blood Rain' created a pool of blood when it hit the enemies; they were lucky that Vakar had only recently learned it and could not cast it perfectly.

Vakar's attack killed over seven orcs and injured many others; Jay's attack killed six orcs, and Rishi's attack killed three. Dilip slaughtered six orcs, Manu three, Ajit and Dev four each, and Lalit surprisingly killed two orcs.

Screams of pain could be heard everywhere; the Orcs were attacked so brutally that they couldn't defend themselves. The bodies of the Orcs could be seen all over the battlefield; This slaughter lasted five seconds before the Orc leader joined the battle to encourage other Orcs to fight.

Dev also ordered all guild members to reconvene in formation. Rishi returned his bow and took out his sword because he had to play Dilip's role. He also summoned Sheru and mounted him. Sheru has grown large enough to ride now that he has reached the advanced stage.

Dilip rode his contract beast, 'Drago Raptor,' to the front. It was a five-foot-tall black and red giant beast, standing on two large and strong feet with sharp talons, a big dragon-like head with long canines, and both of its arms had three large, razor-sharp claws attached to them, adding to its terrifying appearance. It was an epic-level magical beast infused with dragon bloodline.

It roared at all its opponents, terrifying them and lowering their morale further. Dilip was smiling while sitting on its back, admiring the battlefield; he felt like a commander leading his army to victory over all of his enemies.

"See, Dev; this is how you lead the group; as a leader, you should make your adversaries fear you," Dilip explained.

The orc leader came to the front and let out a huge battle cry, which made everyone feel better. It then raised its axe towards Dilip as if challenging him to a duel.

"You want to put me to the test. Interesting, I want to fight you too, so I will accept it." Dilip ordered his contract beast to approach the Orc leader slowly, then climbed down from its back and said, "Don't let any other person come and disturb my battle."

"How can you trust him, Dilip? It will try to ambush you." Dev attempted to persuade Dilip.

"What's the big deal? If they try to ruin my fun, I will kill them all, "Dilip responded.

"This idiot always asks why we don't make him captain; this is exactly why I can't trust him," Dev said helplessly.

"Leave him alone, Dev; he can look after himself, and his role is to keep the orc leader occupied, which he is doing. We should look after other orcs," Ajit suggested.

"All right, Jay start attacking them again," Dev said. Jay fired some more arrows, which prompted the Orcs to launch another attack, and they all rushed at Rishi and his team to kill them.

The orcs' numbers may have been reduced by more than half, but the remaining orcs have survived till now, proving that they were far more potent than any other orcs. Lalit used his contract beast to defend the charge of five orcs, while Dev, Ajit, and Rishi each fought three orcs on their own, while two Orcs were left for Manu to deal with.

Jay began by assisting his teammates by diverting the attention of the enemies and annoying them by attacking them when they were unprepared, putting enormous pressure on the Orcs. Rishi had also asked Vakar to assist Lalit because he faced most enemies.

While a massive battle raged on one side of the battlefield, Dilip and the Orc leader fought alone on the other. Other Orcs have attempted to ambush Dilip, but his contract beast has brutally slaughtered both.

He used his claws to slash one while his jaws snapped another in half. The other Orcs decide to avoid this monster, whom they cannot defeat, and instead decided to try their luck against other opponents.

Dilip smiled and complimented Orc. "You are superior to my previous opponent; he was not even worth fighting with a weapon, but you are far more powerful than him, forcing me to rely on my weapon if I need to finish you quickly."

Dilip attacked the Orc with his spear several times, but the Orc's defense was far superior to any other Orc, so Dilip's attack only left a few scratches on the Orc's body. When he saw how easily the Orc defended his attacks, he laughed. "I was correct about you; I will need to use at least 20% of my strength to defeat you."

"You should be pleased with yourself. You can even flex in front of your fellow Orcs in hell and claim that I used 20% of my strength to defeat you." He added before attacking the Orc again. Dilip's attack created a wound on the Orc's arm, ripping it apart and causing blood to flow.

"I was correct. Twenty percent should be your limit," Dilip said as he attacked the Orc again. Despite his inability to understand a single word, the Orc was fed up with Dilip's nonsense. It was so enraged by the loss of so many soldiers that it used its 'Rage' skill to attack Dilip again, but this time too it could not land a single hit on him and instead got his armor punctured.

The orc leader attempted to defeat Dilip using his other abilities, but nothing worked. Dilip was so quick that he evaded his attacks and even did stupid things like attacking its butt in between the fight to mock him. The poor Orc had to defend his butt with one hand while fighting with the other.

While Dilip was torturing the Orc, Rishi and his team dealt with the other orcs. Ajit and Dev were able to kill one of their opponents each, thanks to Jay's assistance, while Rishi took care of his two opponents, and the other two were also on their last breath. He would have easily defeated them if it hadn't been for the fact that he was honing his skills by relying less on his active skills.

Lalit and Vakar were performing admirably; they had even dispatched three Orcs. After five minutes of fighting, everyone defeated their opponents by assisting one another.

"It was a lot of fun," Dev said.

"I also enjoyed this battle the most," Jay added.

"See what that idiot is doing," Ajit chuckled. Other members turned their gaze to Dilip's fight and saw an enormous orc fighting a tiny human with full power, but the funny thing about this fight was that he was defending himself with one hand on his bum.

"Why is he this way? Can't he easily defeat his opponent? What is the need for torturing them? "Jay asked.

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Manu suggested.

They were laughing as they watched Dilip's battle when the Orc suddenly pulled out the blowing horn from his waist and blew it, requesting reinforcement. Dilip stabbed his spear into its heart, instantly killing it. After that, he looked in the direction of his team and saw terror in their eyes.

"Oops, I should have been more careful," said Dilip while rubbing the back of his head.

"What have you done, fool? How can you be so careless? The reinforcements should be arriving any minute now from all directions," Dev said helplessly.

"Stop fighting among yourselves; it's not time for it. What should we do next?" Ajit asked. All members looked towards Rishi for a response, which he gave.

"We will fight; we have all played it safe up to this point; now it is time to end it all."

"If we run today, what will we do if we find ourselves in a similar situation tomorrow? Will we be able to escape all the time?" Rishi said.

"We've already had a lot of experience fighting them; why should we be afraid of them? It's an opportunity for me to grow more, and as the great scientist Kalam once said, 'If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like the sun.' "
