After analyzing Ruby's status, I quickly decided to get to ending this Floor and moving to the very last one. The Orc Chief and a group of ten other Orcs protecting him remained at the end of the Floor's corridors, while the other Orcs were all dead. The look of his face seemed clearly pained, the cockiness he held before completely gone.

"Ruby, stay inside my shadows for now, if you get a hit from him you'll probably die."

"Roar!"

Ruby seemed angered I was letting him out of the fun, but at the end he still entered my shadows.

"G R A A A A A H!"

The Orc Chief and the other ten Orcs roared. Within the Orc Chief's body, a powerful Red and Orange Aura emerged, covering the other Orcs bodies, their skins suddenly began glowing as red runes emerged across their bodies, and so did the Orc Chief's body.

This is most likely another Skill I've read about. While Berserk Aura is an individual Skill, monsters that are categorized as Leaders or Bosses might come with a party-boosting Skill. But if he didn't used it before when his army was bigger, it means it has some limitations.

It is most likely the skill [Berserk Bloodlust] which enhances and a group of allies and the conjurer himself, turning them all crazy with boosted stats. The Orc Chief didn't used this because he didn't wanted to charge recklessly, I see.

"There they come!" Eric said as he pointed his arrows at the approaching Orcs, quickly firing five at the same time by enchanting them with his skills.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!

They reached the Orcs, but the Orc Chief blocked the arrows by swinging his large Battle Axe, an enormous wave of Mana emerged from each of his attacks. His blows were powerful and Mana-imbued, most likely a Battle Axe Technique.

"G R A A A A H!"

The other Orc Warriors reached our party, as they began fighting desperately. My three spirits and I charged straight towards the boss while I left the crazed Orcs o my friends. I brought out Ruby from my shadows and ordered him to shoot Fireballs all around the other Orcs, even if he did a small amount of damage, it was good enough for him to earn some EXP. I should had done this earlier with the weaker Goblins, but even then I was testing the waters.

"GRUKHA! GRIEHEHEHE!"

The Orc Chief started to laugh, mocking my size compared to his own, which was almost four meters of height. Well, I'll just show him that stature doesn't really matter… by using all the blood of his comrades against him.

"RAAAAAAHHH!!"

He began unleashing powerful Battle Axe Techniques against me, one hit after the other reached me, sending shockwaves everywhere with each successful blow. I mostly intercepted them with my own attacks, without using any particular technique other than [Parry].

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

The pressure on his face was evident, each blow I intercepted sent more weight to his shoulders, and with consecutive blows, his muscles must be tearing apart by now. But his skill allowed him to overcome pain, attempting to overwhelm me with pure raw power.

"GRAAAAH!"

He continued roaring furiously. I already assumed that setting him on fire wouldn't help, so I simply gathered more and more blood on my free hand, while infusing Darkness and Blood Elemental Ki together into it.

FLASH!

I flew into the ceiling using [Blood Wings] and then reached the Orc Chief's face, pointing the mass of blood and darkness in my hands towards his body.

"[Blood Judgement]"

FLUOOOOOOSSSHHHH!!!

An enormous tornado of blood and darkness erupted, consuming the Orc Chief in an instant, countless blades emerged one after the other, made of blood and darkness, and started piercing through his body, his blood continued splattering everywhere, as I absorbed it and continued feeding on this barrage of consecutive blows.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"GRAAAAHHHH…!"

The Orc Chief groaned in agony, but I had no mercy. I quickly aimed for his limbs, one by one, I sliced them wide open through Gluttony. The boost Alberta granted to the spear's sharpness was sublime, it would had taken longer to slice through hard muscle and bones otherwise.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

BAAAAM!

His body fell into the ground, barely gasping for air as his eyes continued glowing red in fury, his roars continued even as he was hopelessly dying. If I have to say something, his tenacity was commendable.

"Ruby, go for it."

I quickly brought out Ruby, as he jumped over the Orc Chief's large head and began burning his eyes and face while scratching him with his claws and hitting him with his tail.

"GRAAAHHH! AGRRGGGHHHH…!"

The Orc Chief was agonizing, I can tell.

"You're tenacious, I have to admit it… However, you're no match for me. I hope you'll have a stronger reincarnation one day. Maybe that day we'll have a more even fight."

CRAAASH!

Ruby finally managed to crush the Orc Chief's head after a lot of effort. His stats rose up as he leveled up even more. His Level reaching 23, and that's adding the bonus EXP from the other Orcs. I guess he won't be able to evolve until we finish this dungeon.

Everyone else had already finished off the furious and boosted Orcs rather easily, although it took them to gang on them together to defeat them, even Erdrich was not completely capable of 1v1 them.

Nonetheless, Floor 3 was cleared.
