"An orc with a summoner trait" Standing atop a branch, Micheal scanned the orc and identified its trait. The orc wore ragged robes and the robes had mud and bloodstains on them.

While the Netherel horde was walking towards the orc, Michael kept looking around the place to see if there's anything or anyone stronger than him nearby. The Orc was only at the Body Refining stage level 9 and the strongest Netherels were only at the level Body Strengthening stage level 5.

If he fought as Lucifer, no one in the Body Strengthening stage could survive the battle with him and if he fought without using Fear toxin or Death Range, only Body strengthening stage level 9 and 10 could fight him head to head.

However, now that he had enough Experience points to reach the Body Strengthening stage level 3, no one in the Body Strengthening stage could win a fight against him after he reaches the Body Strengthening stage level 3.

As he was watching the orc from above, he saw a small journal in the Orc's hands and realized the Orc is chanting the lines in the journal.

"Come my children, kneel.... before me" The Orc's voice was rough and animalistic, just like in the movies. To Michael's surprise, the entire horde of Netherels kneeled down.

"I did it! hahahahaha" The Orc's mad laughter echoed through the silent hills and forest. In its eyes, Michael saw pride as well as anger.

"Father, brother I'll avenge you. Soon, I'll plague the world with undead and kill every single one in the Guardian Guild"

"This day gets better and better"? Seeing the orc could summon and control the Netherels, Michael already planned to start a Netherel farm and hearing that the orc has a hatred towards the Guardians was like a cherry on top.

"System, can we take this orc outside without getting detected by the Guardians?" By looking at the wounds on its body and what it just said, Michael figured out that the Orc's life is in danger. He didn't give a damn about the Orc's well being but if he could save the Orc from the Guardians, he could use the orc to level up rapidly. Therefore, he wanted to stop the Orc from doing anything stupid like going to war with the Guardians and take Orc to the Abyssal where the orc could stay safe and summon Netherels for him to kill. Plus, the Abyssal may be the safest place to summon Netherels without getting detected by the Guardians.

Of course, Michael would make sure they won't find out anything about his little secret activity in the Dark forest with the help of the System.

"Oh oh" Suddenly Michael detected another presence nearby and it wasn't a Netherel. When he turned in the presence's direction, he noticed a dark red-haired youngster rushing towards the bonfire with a long spear in his hand.

"Is that the guy who was with Noah before?" Michael saw this youngster before when he dashed into the portal, he was with Noah and Alicia.

(An hour ago)

Inside a worn-out cabin, there was a group of youngsters sitting on the floor.

"That's not what the River town people think of him, they say he saved him from the Netherel attack. And also, I don't admire him, I just wish he doesn't turn up to be another bad guy, the world has enough bad guys as it is"

"I don't know he's bad or not but he's definitely not a good person "

"Stop it Alicia, what did he do to you? You're just jealous that he's better than your sweetheart" the golden babaroo let out an evil grin and teased Alicia.

"Shut up monkey!"

"I'm sure Big brother Noah can kick his ass any day" Maisy proudly said as everyone turned their gaze at Noah to hear his answer.

"I honestly don't know" After seeing him kill a group of youngsters on the Phoenix island and how he vanished after facing Julius, Noah wasn't sure that he could defeat him. Deep down, Noah knew he's a better swordsman than him yet, Noah also knew that it's only temporary as Ghost doesn't have what he does.

"You're just playing with me big brother, I know you can beat him, hell if I get the chance I'll show him who's the boss" After the fight with the Lane family and the pills and potions gifted to her by Noah, she was able to reach the Body Refining stage level 8 in a matter of days. Coupled with her cultivation level and her innate ability, she was damn confident that she could face any Body Refining stage cultivators except Noah and Alicia.

In her eyes, only Noah and Alicia were powerful and people like Ghost are just overrated. Noah just smiled and didn't answer Maisy as he was thinking about the Orc.

His train of thoughts was stopped when he saw Abel stand up to leave the cabin, "what are you up to?" asked the golden babaroo.

"Did you forget what I said to you before?" he said and showed his wrist to the monkey. On his forearm, there was a star-shaped mark and in the darkness, it glistened

"This is the mark of God, no Netherel or any evil forces can sense my presence"

"But-"

"Let him go Alicia, this is the reason I brought Abel here. Only he can go search all the caves and shelters for that Orc"? Noah interrupted Alicia. At first, they worried about Abel's safety but after Noah explained the effects of the mark, they agreed to let Abel go outside.

"If you face any trouble that you can handle, use this" Noah tossed Abel a circle talisman.

"A long-range teleporter talisman, where did you get this?!" Looking at the glistening talisman in his hand, Abel asked in surprise.

"Xanali, now go find the Orc so we can focus on finding treasures" Noah waved him off as Abel left the cabin to search for the Orc. At this moment, Abel did not know that the Orc is not the only one he's going to find.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
