Evolving Infinitely From An E-Class Hero-Chapter 42: E-Class Phantom

Tti-ring.

[Cloaking Skill Activated]

Dr. Grace Sparks waited and waited for her demise, each passing second felt like a minute or more.

But nothing came, she sheepishly raised her head up and there it was.

"Keu... Kueeerrr..." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Orc groaned in pain as I twisted my arm inside its body, it’s entire body trembling quite noticeably.

"What the...?"

Dr. Grace eyes opened even wider.

But then...

Another sickening squelch, as I drove my other arm into the torso of the Orc.

From her point of view, she would be seeing holes bursting through the thick, skin of the hulking Orc.

Now that was a terrifying display of power.

Plop.

The lifeless body of the Orc dropped to the side as I pulled my arms out.

I acknowledged my increase in strength, I could feel it. It was a tee bit higher than last time or maybe the Orcs skin was just too weak for my blow.

Dr. Grace still stared blankly in my direction, the blood of the Orc drizzled on her smooth face.

She knew I was behind that.

But, she couldn’t see me.

I frowned deeply as I noticed her prolonged stare, she wasn’t just the one watching, I could feel the pairs and pairs of pupils watching through her glasses.

They were monitoring me.

Pow!

Another High Orc was struck rather unexpectedly by Troopers sword and it collapsed with a large thud to the the ground.

’That makes two’.

I shifted my gaze.

Currently using my Cloaking Skill, both the High Orcs and the heroes couldn’t see or sense my presence at all.

I had been sitting back, waiting for a chance to step forward, but I simply couldn’t sit by and watch the Orcs wipe out the heroes.

’Okay, so should I get started for real now?’

And then.

"Uwaaahh!!!"

Just in time, I spotted Trooper, engaging in a life or death battle with three High Orcs.

My legs moved swiftly.

I couldn’t use any other skill like Flash Step while using Cloaking Skill, but the distance was not too far, but not too close either.

But, I was still very fast on my own.

Just a little push from my legs and I was instantly fat above the ground, when I landed back on solid earth, the wide and masculine back of a High Orc blocked my view.

’Dismantling these High Orcs would be too easy at this rate.’

But, if I did that, there was no need to remain cloaked. If I quickly dismantled the Orcs on first contact, they would quickly realize that an unseen party has played a role here.

’Im only a few weeks away from the reassessment day. I need to evolve by fighting these things so I can get the highest possible class — S-Class.’

"Kuwahhhhkkk!"

The High Orc warrior roared in pain as I landed a heavy blow to its spine, it was able to stun it but not strong enough to burst through the Orc.

That was the beginning.

I moved like a well oiled machine, punching, poking the eyes and hitting the Orcs in vital organs or places that carried bodyweight.

This weekend then greatly, causing them to slack in their movements and allowing the other heroes to finish them off.

Trooper was the first to notice the opening and just like that he went into god-mode.

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

"Keuru.... Kuueehhh!"

Pant. Pant.

"Argghhh!"

Trooper raised his head. The long sword held in his hands was piercing through the heart of a High Orcs.

The glaring High Orc and its trembling lips soon collapsed on its back, it’s pupils sinking to the back of its head only exposing the whites.

Thud.

I watched Trooper feel proud of himself.

He clenched his sword even tighter.

"Yes! We can do this!".

He cried out in elation while cutting down the surrounding High Orcs one by one.

I continued moving around freely while avoiding being noticed and before long, the balance gradually tilted towards the heroes favor.

For every Orc I passed, a vital bone in there bone were broken or a vital organ in their body were hit severely.

The moment the High Orcs froze up from wounds I inflicted on them out of nowhere and lost their focus, that was their automatic death.

The heroes backed up their class as they didn’t fail to grasp the opportunity and continued to attack.

Even though I could see the clear surprise on the heroes faces as the High Orcs suddenly became easier to kill, hope and excitement were filling up their hearts at the same time.

Tti-ring.

[You’ve Leveled Up!]

"Oh..."

Indeed, there was a reward for me going around and spending energy, my level had actually gone up.

And I knew I would be getting close to unlocking a new skill from the Forever Armor.

I had aided in killing more than twenty two Orcs and had killed two with my hands.

I guess the level up was from the two Orcs I killed with my hands.

Stab!

Slice!

Pow!

"Kuwahhhhkkk!"

Thanks to my timely and sneaky meanoevers, the battle was rapidly coming to a close.

Skrich!

I took a step back before having a quick look around my surroundings.

The current situation seemed to be more or less settled now. My gaze lowered to the floor, around twenty or so corpses of High Orcs were discarded haphazardly in the ground.

I’m sure if I had taken these down myself, I’d have gone up more than a single level.

’Good’.

With a satisfied feeling swelling in my chest, I returned to the dark corner of the road, a place where and E-Class like myself should be hiding to avoid getting killed.

"Krooooar!"

The cry of a High Orc rang into the air as it surrended to the feet of the heroes.

While looking at the heroes surround the creature and begin questioning it, I undeed my armor.

Just then, Trooper stabbed the creature in its chest and it died with a scream escaping it’s lungs.

He turned immediately and confirmed the status of the injured.

"Anyone hurt?", he asked with all seriousness in his voice.

"Where’s that E-Class punk, is he still alive?"

"I’m here..." I said as I stepped out of the Shadows.
