"Ssttthh, Be careful. You can take the attention of the orcs if you make the smallest sound possible." Hela said as she looked at the Orcs who were guarding outside the castle.

"You know noisily too! your voice is too big" Hiyori replied while observing the Orcs.

"They can't see me as stupid, so I'm free to speak as loud as possible."

"From that, do you know any information about this creature?"

"I heard that there are hundreds of Orcs guarding outside the castle, and then there is the Orc King who is locking himself up inside the castle."

"Orc King? is he strong??'' Ask Hiyori.

"Eleven with earth stage man."

"Earth stage? I've never heard of that name, I guess up to Black's level. There's still a lot I don't know"

"Well, it's an advanced stage after the black stage. A lot of new stuff after you get to this stage"

"New thing? for example??" Hiyori asked, but it seemed like her voice was too loud to attract the Orcs. Hiyori hid under the bushes, but as she retreated a large leg was behind her.

Orcs with giant bodies while holding wooden mace swinging their weapons and trying to attack Hiyori, Hiyori immediately dodged the attack and this attracted the attention of other Orcs.

The Orcs instantly took out their weapons and ran towards Hiyori. "It looks like there will be another bloodbath, a spirit for you" said Hela who watched from a distance.

"Baramaho: Bara no toge u sasu "Root - the root of the thorns spread and pierced the giant Orcs that approached it, part of the Orc - the Orc was instantly dead and the rest of the surviving Orcs he killed using a scythe.

Some time had passed, Hiyori had conquered the Orcs outside the castle. He observed and walked towards the castle gate, but as he tried to enter the castle an arrow was stuck in his arm.

Of course it was Orcarcher's. It turned out that the tip of the arrow had been smeared by the poison, Hiyori felt her head was very dizzy and ended up falling unconscious.

...Prison room, Orc castle...

...At 23:16...

Where's me?" Hiyori said, she opened her eyes and saw that her hands and feet had been chained in the stone room. In addition, he saw a sleeping female elf who was around 500 years old. His hands and feet were also chained.

"Owh, are you awake?" Said Hela who came out of nowhere.

"Helah!?"

"Hadeuhhhh, you've been exposed to low-grade butterfly venom. It's the poison that knocked you out and ended up here"

"I'm off guard. . ."

"Look, congratulations on your success in reaching the red stage of grade 3, but I'm giving you one more test"

"Huh!? why did it come - come like this??"

"You're too much" Hiyori replied. But not long heard the sound of foot movements, Hiyori immediately pretended to fall asleep and tried to observe what would happen.

"Ngik ngok!!" Say one of the Orcs.

"Ngok Ngok Ngok!!!" Reply to another Orc and look - look at Hiyori, He looked into Hiyori's closed eyes

"What are they talking about? where this one is so close, one little I can shout" muttered Hiyori while trying to launch her acting.

After a few seconds of observing Hiyori's face, the Orc turned around.

"That's it! the key, but how do I take the key? if I were to suddenly kill him, it would definitely produce a big sound" Hiyori tried to think hard.

As they walked out, Hiyori launched her action. He made a small root of thorns that spread, with the root of the small thorn he immediately took the key from the Orc pants.

"Can!" Hiyori said, it seems like this is not realized by the Orc. The two Orcs came out leaving Hiyori and the Elves beside him.

Hiyori used her root to unlock the seal on her hands and feet, then she glanced at the Elf beside her.

"Should I help him? if I help I fear he will betray me and attack me, but otherwise I may not be able to get out alive! I hope my choice is right"

Hiyori opened the chain of egels in the hands, feet and stomach of the sleeping Elf with the key in her hand.

"It's so heavy!" Hiyori said while trying to hold the Elf. As he walked out of the room, there was a small earthquake that made him and the Elf fall.

The elf woke up from his sleep "Leave me alone, you can go alone" he said.

"Don't be stupid!" Reply Hiyori while trying to hold the Elf back. As he walked out, he looked to the right and to the left. He was confused where to go.

"On the right, go forward and hide for a moment if there is a junction 4" said the Elf with a groan. Hiyori obeyed what the Elf said, it seemed like her choice brought good luck.

"Stop!" Said the Elf, Hiyori has been at junction 4, it turns out that on the left and right there are Orcs who are on guard.

When the time was right, Hiyori started to run forward, but the fate of one of the Orcs saw Hiyori and the Elf who tried to escape.

Hiyori immediately knew one of the Orcs was chasing her and accompanied by another Orc, she ran quickly to avoid being seen by the Orcs.

The elf that Hiyori was carrying turned around and shot the light that was in her hand towards the top. The rocks above collapsed making the Orcs unable to catch up even if it was a giant Orc.

But the Orcs did not remain silent, aiming an arrow at Hiyori and the Elf. But it seemed like the Elf had an above-flat instinctual speed, it held the arrow that almost pierced into his neck with its magic.

"When there is a ladder, go up with it to the upper room once." Say that Elf.

"Well ladder? is that true!? he can only babble!" Hiyori Gumam.

Hiyori climbed the steps one by one quickly, but the earthquake got bigger, the stairs that had been climbed were destroyed one by one.

"Quickly, we can fall if we lose to the speed of the broken ladder" said the Elf.

"This man, in diamin. He doesn't think it's heavy what's carrying him!" The muttered Hiyori who was getting upset. But knowing more and more broken steps, he sped up his footsteps.

Hiyori and the elf had reached the last floor, a room adorned directly by the night and the stars. But it seemed like the two of them had been awaited by someone like a guest.
