“Orcram?”

Sven pointed to the thing I was holding in my hand .  It was the sign of friends.h.i.+p given by Gorba, a s.h.i.+ny bone fragment with a blood tooth pattern on it .  The thing I was currently holding in my hand was the orcam Sven had mentioned .  I had almost given it to Pono .  Sven continued, “That is certainly the orcram . From what I remember, the boy from the south has it . Their name was . . . ”

“Gorba . ”

“Yes, Gor . . . how do you know this? Did you kill him? Chwiiik!” Sven glanced at me with suspicious eyes .  

I waved my hands to calm him down .  “Calm down . I can say that I"m friends with him . ”

“Friend?”

“Yes . I once saved Gorba"s life . He thanked me and gave me this as a sign of friends.h.i.+p . ”

“The orcram? Do you know what that means? It is made from the blood and bones of Mudur, the first emperor of us orcs . ”

"I know . He explained it to me . Then he said this as he gave it to me—”

I remembered Gorba"s words and repeated them .  “The orcram system is a bad habit that promotes division among the otcs . ”

“Bad habit . . . maybe this is the case . However, us frost orcs have continued this bad habit for generations . I"m also one of them .  Guruk . ”

Suddenly, Sven became serious and created a tense atmosphere .  His shoulders, which had been drooping with age, rose, and it suddenly seemed like I was facing a huge wall .  This again . . .

[The first apostle, "Prometheus," has an ominous feeling . ]

d.a.m.n .

Sven stepped forward and approached me .  “Do you know this?”

“What?”

“Your orcram symbolizes the chieftain"s ident.i.ty . ”

“ . . . I"ve heard that before . ”

“In accordance with the orcram traditions, we will apply for a duel with you . ”

After a while, I stood in the most central location of the town .  The surroundings were full of tombs and the frost orcs surrounded me while beating on their chests .

“Whoo! Whoo!”

“Orcram duel! Chwiik . ”

“For the glory of Mudur!”

They roared like this was a sacred ceremony .  I couldn"t help smiling because their actions were the same as the Blue Tooth orcs I met in the south .  Kim Sujeong approached from next to me .  “Will it be okay?”

“Perhaps . ”

“Will you have to fight with all the orcs here?”

“ . . . Perhaps . ”

According to Sven, the orcram duel occurred when a new person with the chieftain orcram appeared .  He had to fight a duel until all the orcs acknowledged him .  It was said that an orc could only be recognized as a chieftain once all the orcs were convinced .

This Gorba b.a.s.t.a.r.d . He should"ve told me this .  In fact, I could"ve given the ocram to Sven and avoided a duel .  However, it was a symbol of friends.h.i.+p . It was a bit too much to have it taken away .  Most of all, I was concerned about what Sven had made a condition of the duel .

[The first apostle, "Prometheus," says that you must win and find the mother emperor penguin . ]

“I know that as well . ”

He told me that if I won the duel, he would tell me where the mother penguin was .  I asked how he knew we were looking for the emperor penguin and he said he knew when he saw Pono .  A few days ago, the mother had come here so Sven knew where she was .  The moment I heard this, I realized that I couldn"t avoid a confrontation .

[The firefly star, "Camille," is wis.h.i.+ng you good luck . ]

[The fist star, "Raitra," is looking forward to a hot duel . ]

“Yes, I will do my best . ”

At the same time, Sven"s voice could be heard, “The orcram duel is going to start!”

Tung! Tung! Tung!

The muscular orcs banged on a drum and the surrounding frost orcs stomped their feet .  A vibration spread like an earthquake had occurred .  Their serious expression made us gulp .  Gyeonso Dragon opened his mouth, “It is a huge pressure . ”

“Yes . I didn"t know it would be this much . ”

I looked back and saw Drain sitting on the ground in a frightened manner .  His side was guarded by Cer and I could see Pono searching his bag to steal Drain"s needles .  I entrusted Drain to the two people and walked to the middle of the empty stand .  There was a moment of silence and the orc"s feet stopped .

“Who will fight against that man?” Sven"s voice rang out like an echo .  His voice sliced through the air and the orcs were silent .

The wind blew and only silence filled the area here .  Perhaps after seeing my strength once, no one could easily come forward .  Due to this, none of them accepted the duel .  Once the weak were afraid, they couldn"t easily show their teeth to the strong .

“Is there no one? Are there only cowards in our frost orc tribe?!” Sven"s roar sounded like he was scolding the orcs .

In fact, I had been a bit surprised when he said that he was the chieftain but now he looked like one .  However, as before, no one stepped forward .  He was more charismatic than I had thought .  Well, I didn"t think anyone would come forward so it would be over soon .  Now I just needed to know the location of the mother penguin and . . .

“I will go!”

The voice was heard from the right side .  One of the tallest orcs among the frost orcs walked in front of me .  I was fl.u.s.tered since he was taller than I thought .

“Why are you so tall? Are you a power pole?”

I thought that such a height was comparable to Gorba .  Of course, Gorba was a bit bigger .

“My name is Kars.h.!.+ Reveal your name!”

“You bad guy . Call me Elder!”

“Okay! Elder! Take my greatsword!”

Karsh rushed over .  He was a strong guy and he moved quickly compared to the size of his body .  Although he could be easily suppressed by Raitra"s blue lightning, unfortunately there was a rule that only the power of the body could be used in an orcram duel .  If I used something that was considered magic then I would be disqualified .  Nevertheless, this didn"t mean it was impossible .

[Apostle Skill: Keen Insight has been used . ]

I didn"t know how long it had been since I used this skill .  In fact, it was a skill that became less useful once I gained Raitra"s power but it was useful in the current situation .  I dodged his greatsword and wondered, “Is that it? Isn"t it too slow?”

“Kuock .  Then what about this?”

Karsh spun around with his greatsword .  It was like a spinning top .

“Die! The chieftain orcram will be mine! Kuhahaha!”

A biting guest of wind blew through the cold wind .  However, the wind he created wasn"t on his side .

[Apostle Skill: Insight has been used . ]

Insight was used and Karsh"s information was revealed in front of me .  I got rid of the miscellaneous things and only read the core content .  His weakness was his legs .  In my eyes, his weakness was the legs that were supporting the rotation of his body .  The question was whether I had enough strength to hit those legs but I wasn"t worried .  I had said something in advance to those who were in the Star Coffee House .

[The first apostle, "Prometheus," is giving you the apostle"s buff . ]

[All stats are increased by 20% for 30 minutes . ]

It had started .

[The fist star, "Raitra," is granting the constellation"s buff . ]

[All stats are increased by 10% for 30 minutes . ]

[The firefly star, "Camille," is granting the constellation"s buff . ]

[All stats are increased by 10% for 30 minutes . ]

In fact, constellations could also buff their Star"s Beloved .  It wasn"t used because it wasn"t as efficient and consumed a lot of star spirit .  Of course, it was only half as efficient as the apostle"s buff but this was enough .  I felt the muscles all over my body pumping .  The feeling of fullness was beyond words .  However, this wasn"t enough .

“Not yet . I need more strength . ”

I didn"t think this was enough .  It wasn"t enough to instill fear into these frost orcs .  Now I needed overlapping buffs .  A lot of star spirit would need to be consumed but it couldn"t be helped in the current situation .  It was more important to win here without wasting half a day so they would understand .  If I didn"t do this, that d.a.m.n tundra dragon would act .

[The first apostle, "Prometheus," is giving you the apostle"s buff . ]

[The fist star, "Raitra," is granting the constellation"s buff . ]

[The firefly star, "Camille," is granting the constellation"s buff . ]

[All stats have increased by 80% . ]

[All stats have increased by 120% . ]

[All stats have increased by 160% . . . ]

Countless numbers rose while the muscles of my body shook .  Once it finally reached 200%, I faced a message .

[All your stats have reached the limit . ]

[To break the limit, you need to reach level 200 . ]

At the same time, I flew toward Karsh .  There was a huge shock and the ground trembled .  An endless power rose inside my body .  I dodged his greatsword using Keen Insight and kicked Karsh"s ankle .  There was a terrible sound of breaking bones .  

“Kuaaack!” Karsh screamed and turned in the air at the same time .  The sight of a giant spinning from a single kick was a great shock to the frost orcs .  The same went for my group watching from behind .

“Does this make sense?”

“Brother is truly strong . ”

“Got dem! BAAAAM!!”

The mouths of all the frost orcs dropped open .  They seemed to find it hard to acknowledge that humans were stronger than them .  I called out to Kim Sujeong behind me, “Sujeong, I"d like to ask you to treat him . ”

“Ah, yes!”

She hurried to heal Garsh while I stepped forward, meeting the frost orcs" eyes .

“Next . ”

“Kuaack! I surrender! I surrender!”

The last frost orc surrendered when his arms were twisted .  In fact, I thought they would be scared if Karsh was defeated in an overwhelming manner . This was my mistake .  On the contrary, the too overwhelming force aroused their desire to win .  Of course, there was someone who could heal them . If this wasn"t the case, I wondered if they would be fighting like this . d.a.m.n . It was so hard I was going to die .

“Sigh .  Any more . . . ?”

Looking around, there were no more .  I could only smile while showing my white teeth .

[The first apostle, "Prometheus," is saying that you did a good job . ]

[The firefly star, "Camille," is paying tribute to your efforts . ]

[The fist star, "Raitra," is admiring your skills . ]

It was nothing .  

By the way, that Raitra must be excited .  He couldn"t watch without wanting to fight .

[The fist star, "Raitra," wants to fight you someday . ]

“What . . . ? I don"t want to . This d.a.m.n guy . ” 

[The fist star, "Raitra," is telling you to wait and see . ]

“d.a.m.n . Sure thing . It"s been a long time since I"ve had such a hard time .  Ouch .  My waist . ”

I approached my group while pounding on my waist .  Gyeonso Dragon came over to me .  “As expected, my eyes aren"t wrong . Brother, I truly admire your skills . ”

“Ugh, do you still want to fight me?”

“Yes, I want to fight you even more now . ”

“You are a strange guy . ”

"I will take that as praise . ”

“Rotten guy .  Keke . ”

I turned my head and saw Kim Sujeong treating the arm of the last frost orc .  I hadn"t twisted the arm that much so it wouldn"t take long .  Then Sven"s voice was heard from behind me .  “Where are you going? It isn"t over yet . ”

“Hmm?”

The words made my hair stand up .  There was still a challenger left? Don"t tell me . . . ? “Are you going to fight?”

Sven laughed . “Huhu . . .  I don"t like to fight with my body . By the way, you have a very good body . ”

[The first apostle, "Prometheus," is detecting something sinister from Sven . ]

d.a.m.n . It was ominous, ominous .

Sven licked his lips as he scanned my body with greedy eyes . I shuddered unknowingly at the sight of him .  Was this guy a pervert?

Sven stopped smiling .  “All frost orcs, listen up!”

At his words, all the frost orcs started to stomp their feet .  I was overwhelmed by the sheer force .

Thump! Thump!

“Are there any more challengers?”

Stillness flowed in the snowstorm .  Sven stared at them with a stern expression and turned his head toward me .  “Person of distinction, welcome . ”

Every frost orc bowed down in front of me .
