As soon as I used my skill of static electricity, my whole sword that was still stabbed into the orc's stomach was covered in electricity.
"Akkhkkkkkk"
The orc shaman was horrified and screamed in sudden pain, and even before he could do anything, I applied force and curved my sword to the right, cutting the whole orc in half.
It all happened in a split second. And after hearing the scream of the orc shaman, the orc mages turned towards him, but they found his body cut in two.
As the orc mages were in a stupor, I caught them off guard and attacked them while my sword was still covered in electric Aura.
SWISH-
Even before they knew what was happening, their heads flew as they were decapitated.
The orc mages weren't good at close combat, and their defense wasn't capable enough to stop my attacks. Unless they could cast a defensive spell, but I didn't give them much time to cast any spells and killed them instantly.
As I killed the orc shaman and orc mages, the only remaining left were armed orcs, who were carrying axes and shields. As I looked towards them, I found they were almost dealt with by Eric, Diana, and Penelope.
They began to work together quite well. As Eric was shielding the orcs' attacks, Diana and Penelope were finishing them off together.
'They are good enough for amateurs,' I thought to myself.
Because dealing with a bunch of B-rank monsters isn't an easy task that many people their age can do. And in fact, they are all beginners that didn't even fight a goblin before, excluding Diana, as she might have already fought them, but she didn't fight against the other monsters that stay in the gates, keeping in mind that the monsters in the gates are more painstaking and clever.
I thought over to myself, as they killed the last remaining orc.

THIRD PERSON POV~
After killing all the orcs, Eric, Diana and Penelope decided to proceed toward where Ares was, but as they were approaching him, Penelope stepped on a trap unknowingly...
Clank-
Soon several arrows rushed towards them from both sides, and seeing the arrows approaching, Eric raised his shield and coated it with Aura to block them. His shield could block the arrows from both sides, as he created a shield made of Aura on one side, while he stood and blocked the arrows with his shield from the other side.
But he could only block the arrows that were approaching him and Diana as they were in the front, while Penelope, who was somewhat far from them in the rear, was left open.
She didn't have much time to cast a defensive spell, and the arrows appeared close to her from both sides at a fast pace.
She accepted her doom and closed her eyes, as she didn't have any measures to block them.
But even after a few seconds, she didn't feel any pain or shock due to getting eliminated. Instead, she felt the warmth of touch around her body, as if she was... being carried.
She slowly opened her eyes to know the reason, and she was surprised with her eyes wide open by what she saw...
Penelope saw a black-haired boy with a handsome face carrying her like a princess. Suddenly, her face turned red and her eyes were hazy. It looked like a dream to her.
A handsome prince carrying her like a princess. It's a dream of every girl on the planet, even though some may not admit it, they don't dislike it either.
As she was in a reverie, dreaming her fantasies, she suddenly heard Diana's worried voice,
"Ares! Are you all right?" Diana questioned with a worried expression.
Hearing her, Penelope finally came back to her senses and noticed Ares's shoulder, which was pierced by several arrows.
Ares finally put Penelope down and replied,
"Yeah I am fine, it's not a big deal," Ares spoke and removed the arrows from his shoulder without showing any pain in his face.
Seeing his expressionless face, Eric, Diana, and Penelope were left dumbfounded. Even though they won't feel much pain in a magical space, they could still feel severe enough shocks, if they receive painful attacks.
"Let's move forward," Ares said.
Hearing him they all came out from their daze and spoke in unison while nodding their heads,
"Understood."
And they started moving deep inside the gate.
As they were moving ahead, they came upon an enormous monster that looked like an octopus with several tentacles, shutting off their path.
"It's an A-rank monster, the Colossus Octopus. it has eight tentacles that it uses to not only grapple its prey but could also restrain and attack enemies, and it has pretty good regeneration as well," Ares spoke and continued,
"They usually appear in the sea. I don't know what that lazy-ass professor is thinking, keeping it in the cave-like gate," Ares concluded.
"E-Even so, how can we defeat something this enormous," Penelope spoke stutteringly with a horrified look.
"You have a plan, don't you Ares?" Diana spoke while staring at Ares with a smile.
Hearing her, Ares chuckled and spoke,
"Oh, I've got a plan alright," Ares declared and a huge grin appeared on his face

Pov Team 2 ~
"I wonder how many points Ares's team has," Ziona spoke while stabbing the orc that was lying on the ground unconscious due to their recent fight.
"If it's him alongside Diana, I think they might have quite a lot of points," Ayla said.
"You think so too? I want to fight that elf princess to know how strong she is." Ziona uttered.
"Don't underestimate her, Diana may look beautiful and innocent but she is quite strong and cunning, ... and I don't know if I am right, but from what I noticed, she seems to be a narcissist," Ayla spoke her thoughts.
"A narcissist cunning bitch, huh," Ziona said, and an evil smile erupted on her face.
"That's just what I think, you can ignore my words if you want," Ayla spoke out and moved onwards behind Lucas and their other team member who was in a lead.
Listening to her Ziona smiled and followed behind her.
And as they were moving ahead, they all halted in their steps, and they were shocked for a few moments, as they saw an enormous octopus-like monster, which was not that far away from them blocking their path.
"...."
"SHIT!" Ayla cursed out loud upon noticing the monster with a terrified face.
Hearing her, they all had the same expression as Ayla, ... except for Ziona, as she was excited to fight that strong monster, and a huge grin erupted on her face.
'Whenever Ziona is excited about something, she makes that face' Ayla thought to herself, noticing Ziona's reaction.
"A crazy Battle maniac" Ayla evaluated Ziona and muttered to herself.

Pov Team 3~
Ahhhhhhkkk...
Hearing the students scream, Kevin and his other teammate that was sticking to him in fear, was horrified and muttered to themselves,
"They both are like demons, they butchered every student and monster that came in their path without mercy, one would freeze them to death and the other would slit their throats."
*Gulp
The team member beside him gulped out loud and spoke,
"They seem like non-identical demon twins. They are fighting together without even communicating, but they are in perfect sync. As the saying goes, Birds of a feather flock together." He said in a low voice.
The non-identical Demon twins he was talking about were, of course,... Livia Frostine and Claude Valdemar.
"Nobody knows about this, but I presume Claude Likes Livia. I caught him peeking at her, from time to time quite a lot during our classes." Kevin uttered.
"Again, Why do you keep focusing on Claude?" His teammate spoke giving Kevin a suspicious look.
"...."
"B-Because his seat is right next to me," Kevin clarified.
"That's not a good enough excuse, ...but I will respect your preferences." His team member said and ran towards Livia and Claude.
"Y-You, you're misunderstanding, wait for me..." Kevin uttered and ran after him.
As they both moved forward, they saw Livia and Claude halt in their steps and were observing something.
As they both shifted their eyes to where Livia and Claude were scrutinizing, their faces were filled with horror. As they saw a massive octopus-like monster blocking their path, not far away from them.
"F-FUCK!" They both cursed out loud in unison with a terrified face, while Livia and Claude, who were still scrutinizing the monster, didn't have any change in their expression as they kept their faces neutral.
