"WHO DARES!?"

Aldred looked up and saw a silhouette of a humanoid giant with four arms. The giant landed on the ground, four fists smashing the earth, creating an explosive wave in every direction.

The giant slowly stood up and revealed his powerful muscles. On each of the arms, the ogre wielded a golden club, an ax, a sword, and a whip.

The ogre looked like an embodiment of an ancient god.

"Isn't that the Vicious Ogre, Gubra?"

Aldred frowned as he analyzed the ogre.

[Gubra, The Vicious Ogre]

Level: 89

Title: The Vicious Ogre, Human Eater, Infant Hunter, Alpha Ogre

Power: Four Arms Smash, Weapon Mastery, Mountain Shaking Blow, Four Multi-Directional Attack

"A monster with titles. I have never seen something like that before," Aldred said. "This will be interesting."

"WHO DARES TO KILL MY UNDERLING?"

HP: 250,000

Stamina: 150,000

Aldred was slightly startled after looking at the ogre's health points and stamina. That was beyond what level 89 could have. That was when Aldred realized that this boss was beyond anything he had seen before.

In comparison, Aldred's health was merely three thousand.

This had to be a special monster. A boss-type monster, perhaps. Most monsters he fought only had the name of their species or races, but this one had a name. Aldred had learned any monster with a specific name would be far more powerful and intelligent than other monsters.

"So, you're the piece of tiny, weeny, skinny crap that killed my servants?!"

"Everyone, back up," Aldred said. "This is not something we can handle easily. In fact, we might not be able to handle it."

"No, Aldred. We are here to help you, not become your burden," Mary said. "You have given us all kinds of treasures and honed our techniques to perfection. Believe me, Aldred. We are more than capable to help you."

Stella and the others nodded.

"Alright, but do it safely. Don't get hit by it. We will play the long game."

Sophia raised her staff. "Potent Strength! Speedy Agility! Improve Senses! Greater Defense! Heightened Reflexes!"

Aldred and the others glowed with all kinds of colors as Sophia continued to cast all kinds of buff on them.

"Army Coordination!" Sophia shouted her last buff.

Everyone shone with a golden color that seemed to connect everyone by an invisible link in their mind. For some reason, they could tell each other's intentions.

Suddenly, the four-armed ogre charged toward Aldred and jumped at him.

The monster activated [Mountain Shaking Blow], making all of his weapons reveal a powerful aura.

Aldred retreated, and so did his wives and the soldiers. They followed his intention without the need of communicating it.

The ogre slammed the ground, and that was when six soldiers dashed from the side, slashing his arms, and then quickly retreated.

Aldred was kind of surprised that they read his mind. It was like telepathy but deeper and faster. They could feel his emotions, reasons, and intention at the speed of light. It was as if they had the same mind.

Not only that, they could even feel their techniques improved a hundred times better because they were connected with Aldred's mind and they realized their shortcomings at that moment.

Aldred was shocked by this development. He did not expect Sophia to become this powerful since the last time.

Sophia looked at him with a smile. "You can trust us to watch your back. There is no need to fight alone."

"That is right!" Ivette charged forward like a beam of white, bright light, and stabbed her sword at the ogre's leg.

The ogre groaned in pain, but it didn't stop his club from swinging at her.

Mary and Mareona dashed forward and blocked the attack. Zafrina raised her hand, stopping the blood in the ogre's arms, reducing the ogre's power in the process.

Mally fired a grappling hook at Gubra's chest and pulled herself forward. In mid-air, she fired her gunblade, sending a powerful steel ball right at Gubra's face.

Gubra staggered and retreated a few steps as his forehead was slightly dented by the steel ball.

When he opened his eyes, the ogre became even more enraged. His whole body shone red. "Four Multi-Directional Attacks!"

As the soldiers swarmed the ogre from every direction, Gubra's four arms moved independently, blocking and parrying every attack that came at him.

The other adventurers that watched this battle were in deep awe.

Baendjbi and his swordsmen had their jaws dropped when they saw the soldiers had powerful sword art.

"Such mastery in the sword arts the perfection in their techniques"

"It was like staring at a work of art."

"A masterpiece! Each and one of them could be content against our best Gold Rank Swordmaster. And I think some of them are very close to Platinum Rank sword mastery."

Gubra was like a spinning wheel. Turning back and forth as the soldiers attacked from all directions.

The soldiers leaped back and raised their swords. The swords glowed in red as they slashed. "Execution Strike!"

A powerful red arc came at the ogre from more than 73 directions.

Baendjbi gasped in shock. "Execution Strike isn't that a legendary skill that had been lost long ago?"

"The master has said something about it. He said that it's a simple attack technique, but its simplicity did not undermine its power."

"Where did they find it? And how did they learn that legendary skill? Even a Platinum Rank would take decades to use such a skill."

Rachel clasped her hands and spread them wide. An elastic beam of light connected from her left palm to her right palm. She then spun and then threw the beam of light at the ogre.

The beam of light moved like a rope in mid-air and then wrapped itself around the ogre's head, covering its eyes.

"Gahh! Get it off!" The ogre grabbed the beam of light, but his fingers went through it.

"This is our chance, attack!"

Mary, Mira, Mareona, Sophia, Ivette, Stella, Rachel, Zafrina, Kiara, Mally, Bartrem, Joseph, Jeffery, and Maverick all charged forward and attacked the ogre.

Thousands of damages were sent to the ogres per second.

Within a few rounds, They reduced Gubra's health by 60%.

Gubra fell to one knee. Three of his arms had been terribly wounded, and they were barely able to wield the weapons.

The ogre breathed heavily as he weakly stared at Aldred and his wives and friends. "Mere humans could defeat me? This is far from possible."

"You are one of the most powerful monsters I have ever fought. Take honor in that."

"There is no honor in being defeated by humans!" Gubra swung his whip with his last bit of strength.

Dodging to the right, the tongue of the whip passed right by his face. The whip then smacked to the left, and Aldred ducked. All of Gubra's attack wasn't even able to touch a strand of his hair.

As Aldred had spent more than a year of his life fighting powerful monsters, he had always been calm and collected in front of the enemy.

As the whip went for his face again, Aldred grabbed the whip. Smokes came out of his hand because of the friction.

Gubra saw this with widened eyes and mouth wide agape.

Aldred pulled the whip, bringing the giant ogre flying in the air before he landed by the jaw.

Gubra opened his eyes as he looked at Aldred stepping on his head.

In all of his life as an ogre, this was the scariest moment he had ever experienced.
