Chapter 138 Kampf Der Stärke
[You have lost a random soldier]
The bad part about Raith losing his dark soldier was that he could tell the power of the soldier that was being deleted but couldn\'t exactly tell which one it was, at least he was sure that some strong ones were still available.

[You have gained +3 stat points due to being brutally killed]
Raith\'s second death was tight before everyone\'s eyes as he rushed a barrage of attack on the red Orc but it ran through it all and grabbed his legs, squashing the shit out of it and slamming him on the ground over and over again till his brains scattered out of his head and was spilled on the ground.
Mok Jae-Hwa and the others were filled with so much horror and were probably about to dash in for another round of reward attack but were stopped by Shin-Hye.
She didn\'t say anything, all she needed to stop them were a petrified and hostile glare, even Mok Jae-Hwa didn\'t dare to press forward even though he was burning with anger, he just tried to reason with her– with an excuse for this is not about him, this is about hunter Raven who died protecting them.
Shin-Hye didn\'t give them any answer but the way she looked was as though she was already proposing some kind of theory in her mind.
[Due to the title effect \'One who devours death\' you will be resurrected]
Raith\'s broken head began to rearrange, his spilled brains began to form back together like a reverse play until they were back in his head and the large opening in his head began to slowly close up.
His eyes shot open immediately and he swung up again.
He dashed at the monster using [Instant Move]– it was a new level of speed that the Orc was not used to so he got caught off-guard.
The Orc had probably thought that the speed at which Raith was fighting with it was his best.
wham! whish! whoom! whoom!!
Raith released a swift barrage of attacks as he was a hair\'s breadth away from the Orc, he swung an arc taken right from over his shoulder slicing through the red orc\'s metallic upper chest– spinning immediately before the Orc could react, he unleashed a super fast spinning slash that screeched on the Orc\'s skin as though metal was licking metal but the Orc still stumbled backward.
"Instant Move!!"
Raith threw himself forward again with disappearing speed giving neither himself nor the Orc a breathing space.
He thrust forward with the tip of his katana sword aimed for the heart of the monster– but the Orc grinned like Raith kept repeating the same thing knowing full well that it could easily block that obvious attack with its bare hand. The Orc\'s hand reached for the Raith and as it was a dot away from catching the sword Raith pulled back the sword with swift reflex, softly touching the Orc\'s fist with his other hand, letting out a sardonic smile.
[You have activated skill \'Lavaration\']
Following the message, he flew away from the Orc using [Air Leap] and landed afar off.
The Orc froze for a moment trying to figure out what Raith did to it but it took a while for the effect of the skill to be seen due to its incredibly tough skin.
The Orc let out a roar as its skin began to boil and break like molten magma.
"Oh? What did he do to the monster?" Shin was filled with curiosity.
He wasn\'t the only one, even though the others were not obvious about it as he was.
\'He just touched the Orc\'s hand and its hand began to melt.\' Mok Jae-Hwa was intensely focused as if he was in a learning session. Trying to make sense of what skill Raith possess just even caused more headache.
The melt did not stop with that point of contact, it was slow but it began to spread, belatedly realizing what was going on the red Orc grabbed its hand, tightened his grip on its hand bursting its veins and muscles, and then forcibly pulled out the hand from the point that melt had not reach.
"Wow..." Raith was impressed. It\'d take more than being a regular monster to have the resolve to do that sorta thing.
The monster began to heave heavily, its eyes became bloodshot and its body became more rigged with muscles, as if the muscles it had before grew two times more. Veins could be seen running all over its body.
Raith twirled the Katana and got ready for another round again.
[Skill proficiency has increased]
And these sorta things were getting better, seeing an improvement in his skill set was just so interesting, especially when it was [Way Of The Sword(incomplete)]
Raith drew a deep breathe as the Orc after its rage tantrum leaped forward, reaching its only hands to him–
Wham! Whoosh! whoosh!
The two enter a state of attack and parry, Raith threw endless slashes and arcs but the Orc was relentlessly parrying with the only hand it now had left, smacking away the blade of his sword with enough force to send him back one, two steps. If not for his extraordinary grip on the sword, it would have flown out of his hand at a point.
In the struggle between the two, Raith increased his speed and pressed harder, even with [Multiple Cognitive Resonance] it was hard to slip in the attack, the Orc had no exposure and was very strong, careful– with its large body, its speed was crazy. The existence of such a monster defied and betrayed the Association hunters\' knowledge of how monsters are constituted and how their strengths are distributed.
As Raith fought harder, depending on Auto battle and slowly abandon his own observations, he began to enter a trance-like state. It was not something he intended not now, nor prior, it was just coincidence as he struggled and became desperate to kill the Orc in front of him without dying again! The price of that penalty was becoming a bother.
Raith\'s senses entered a heightened form and he just began to fight with abandoned senses, it was not different from saying he went primitive, abandoning his sense of prediction or analysis, all those skills that had good uses in battle due to [Multiple Cognitive Resonance] as he became more desperate, it became hard to hold onto all those skills and at a point, it started to feel like all of them were converging to one single skill‐ [Multiple Cognitive Resonance]
Raith had no idea what this was but he could feel a rush of adrenaline that he had never felt, he didn\'t want to break out of this feeling even though he could wrap his fingers around what it was.
[Congratulations]
