Chapter 237: Fierce Clash[3]
Lucas hadn't used any potions since morning even though he was quite tired.
On top of that after taking the blood upgrade potion, he felt as if something inside him changed.
Something that had been locked up and sealed in him seemed to be unlocked. He didn't know what it was, nor did he feel any significant changes inside him.
Moreover, unlike the other time when many impurities were expelled from his body, there was no such event occurring this time, rather Lucas felt all his body burning up for quite some time after taking the potion.
Every time one makes a breakthrough, one body becomes light and refreshed but Lucas felt quite a burden when he broke through 4-Star.
The memory of the pain of all his body is set on fire terrified him.
Now that he had taken the health potion, Lucas could feel the overflowing strength and his senses seemed to have been sharpened.

He put one stat point into speed which reached 5-Star and another into magic taking it to the peak of 4-Star.
So, now that he had recovered all his stamina and strength, except a peak 4-Star warrior Lucas could sweep down everyone easily.
He could even take a 5-Star head-on and was confident in defending himself against the leader of the Orc.
He needs a little more time to get accustomed to his newfound strength and he was sure that he could match both Lesh and that Orc.
Lucas, after tearing an Orc into two halves, stared at the group of Orcs with a sweet gentle smile on his face that sent a chill down the spine of the Orcs.
He walked forward carrying the sword which started to shine brightly as Lucas channelized his mana into his sword which started to glow gleefully.
Lucas squinted his eyes at the hoard in front of him and said"Let's wrap up the things as quickly as possible."
Xanth and Chris were followed by the squads who were behind him and nodded their heads.
For a moment, they even forget that they were the superior here, not Lucas. Still, they behaved like obedient soldiers tending to their superior.
Drawing out their weapons, they followed Lucas's lead charging ahead.
Lucas propels his body forward with a stomp.
One of the Orc eyed Lucas with a murderous gaze.
He swung his arm forward, lifting a boulder and throwing it at Lucas.
Lucas immediately jumped towards the right, resulting in it moving past and dropping meters behind him, raising dust and generating wind that could be felt by Lucas.
Then Lucas saw a scene that widened his eyes.
There was a mage in the Orc who raised his staff slamming it on the ground.
Targeted by the mage spell, Lucas experienced a rain of rocks.
Still, Lucas's fearlessly advanced trusting in his ability but the situation wasn't good for others following behind him.
Except for Xanth the and other two, everyone was struggling to keep up as the rocks started to hit them so they started to retreat.
BAM! BAM!BAM!BAM!
Not a single boulder touched him. He zigs zagged his way not only to get out of their range of the attack but also to cover the distance between him and the mage quickly.
Seeing him closing up, the Orc started to chant another spell and the mana gushed out from his body.
Immediately after this, a spear made out rocks protruding out of the ground, and in an instant, Lucas felt that the ground was vibrating.
Lucas knew what it was and immediately jumped up and a spear gushed out from the ground rushing near him nearly impaling his legs.
While many other spears started to fly toward him.
"Old tricks!" Lucas muttered and suddenly a huge platform of ice was formed underneath him where the spear of rock crashed in and was stopped in its tracks while Lucas swung his sword, slashing many wind blades at once, flattening all the spears coming at him.
Lucas kicked the platform, shattering it into many pieces, and jumped toward the mage.
But the other Orcs didn't let Lucas go past them and swung their weapons at him.
CLANG!CLANG!
Lucas was blocked by the attack of three Orcs striking him at once so Lucas jumped back and retreated his few steps.
Lucas raised his sword and started to condense mana over it and spoke.
"I will take care of the mage, you just need to create an opening by taking down the Orcs." Lucas spoke in an authoritative tone and was about to step ahead when he felt something was amiss and turned back.
Whoosh!.
Except for the gentle blowing wind carrying a few leaves, there was no one behind him.
"Dammann!"
"Where the hell are you all?" Lucas screamed at the top of his lungs and squinted his eyes to see them standing at the back quite afar and still struggling to get past the rain of rocks.
Xanth was deflecting the attack while trying to defend the others.
"I guess, I don't have a knack for teamwork," Lucas muttered and looked at the mage who created a massive boulder with sharp bangs which was already hurling its way towards Lucas.
Lucas rotated his body, stepping his left foot forward and using all his strength to slash his sword.
The boulder that was heading at Lucas was suddenly crushed and blown apart and from the cloud of dust, Lucas appeared and slashed wind bladed.
BAM! BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!
The wind blades fell on the Orcs and pushed them back, at the same time the mage was unable to concentrate as he tried to defend himself from getting killed.
But at that time, a sword pierced from its back and emerged from its chest that was coated with greenish blood.
His eyeball widened with horror and he screamed due to the pain.
"Shut up!" Lucas shouted and kicked it in the back sending it flying towards one of the Orcs who fell down as the mage slammed on him.
Lucas noticed the murderous gaze as he was currently surrounded by around 20 Orcs who were staring at him viciously.
Before they could gang upon him, Lucas assaulted them with fireballs and ice spikes.
One of the Orcs took the attacks head-on and ignored the pain of the wounds inflicted on him darted toward Lucas like a mad bull.
Lucas dodged the attacks and greeted him warmly by smashing the top of his head with the sword. The sound of breaking bones echoed on its skull.
The Orc clenched its fist and threw a jab but Lucas deflected it and kicked its hard chest causing it to go out of balance and stumble back.
Before it could regain its balance, Lucas was already on it hacking its skulls open.
Another tried to jump, taking on the bombardment with its brute body.
"Another month coming towards the flames." Lucas sneered as he saw the Orc skillfully deflecting the attacks by swinging a huge axe all over his body which was able to shield him from some of the attacks whereas the rest were borne down by his body.
Reaching near Lucas, it spun the huge axe.
Lucas jumped up curling his legs and the swing of the axe went under him while Lucas struck with the sword.
CLANG!
The Orc defended the attack by raising the axe but he crash-landed on it as Lucas spun his body vertically in the mid-air and landed a kick on its head shattering its top bones.
The Orc plunged to the ground with a dull thud.
Even though Lucas was fighting, the firing of bombardment didn't stop even though it was taking a toll on him.
The bombardment didn't cause any damage, instead it just pulled all of their attention towards him, which would allow the squad to catch up to him.
Finally, the squad caught up to him so there was no need for him to keep the skills going and stop them while the Orc who wanted to rush towards Lucas as soon as they noticed the stopping of the attack was suddenly hit from behind.
Xanth just bulldozed his way through the Orc with superior strength.
He dashed forward, giving them a close body slam and throwing them away in disarray.
Chris and others took the charge and stabbed them with the spear.
CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!
The sounds of weapons clashing against each other resounded in the whole place.
Lucas, who was bashing one after another, suddenly turned his gaze and looked up.
His eyes widened as he saw Lesh using a long blade of aura crashing on The Orc leader who spun his greatsword.
BOOOOOOOM!
A mighty roar resounded which shook the place greatly and as the clouds of dust dissipated, Lucas saw a long crevice of twenty meters wide formed under Lesh and the ground had been cut apart.
