My Celestial Ascension

I would like to express my gratitude to 'Daoist_Culture' for their kind gesture of presenting me with a gift of a pizza. Thank you very much for your generosity.

Dang! Dang! Dang! 

As the bell rang, warning everyone in the city that the Orcs had arrived, Robert said in a worried and serious tone, "Looks like those foul creatures have arrived. I don't know if we will survive until backup arrives." 

He then called for Mireya, and she immediately arrived in front of them.

Mireya looked at Yuan, his wives, Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma with a relieved expression and said to Yuan, "I'm relieved to know that you and your wives are going to help us deal with the Orc horde. I deeply appreciate it."

Lily said with a smile, "Of course we are, after all, we are citizens of this city." 

Yuan and the others nodded their heads, agreeing with Lily.

Robert asked Mireya if all the preparations were done. Mireya said, "All the preparations have been completed, and we have also gathered a lot of healing potions for the injured ones."

Robert was pleased to hear that and looked over at Yuan and his wives. "We should head out at once since the Orcs are in the vicinity. Those small hunters and city guards won't be able to hold them back for any longer."

Ding! 

<A mission has been assigned to the host!>

<Mission: Defened the town>

<Difficulty: Very High! >

<Mission Description: Protect this town against the advancing hoard of Orcs and slay the Orc Lord who is leading the hoard. >

<Reward: ??? Unknown!>

<Mission Failure: The town will be destroyed by the Orc lord and its army.>

Yuan narrowed his eyes as he read the mission details and curled his lips as he thought, 'Interesting! A mission with an unknown reward, huh?'

After that, Yuan and his wives agreed with what Robert had just said. Yuan then looked at his wives and said, "Since it's an emergency, we shouldn't waste any time and head out." 

With that, they all made their way toward the northern city gate.

As the soldiers, hunters, and mages prepared for battle, the hoard of vicious Orcs arrived in the vicinity of the northern city gate. The Orcs were led by a very fat Orc with red skin and a face that resembled a pig. He stood at a height of around 9 feet tall, carrying a huge axe with one hand and leading the hoard.

The people watched in horror as a huge Orc with horns and long teeth appeared in the middle of the hoard. He was also carrying a massive axe and was clearly the leader of the Orcs. 

"It's an Orc Lord!" one of the mages on patrol shouted. "The information was true!"

The hunters and soldiers looked on with fear as the number of Orcs in the hoard continued to increase. 

"Something's off," one of the hunters said, his voice shaking. "There are more of them than we thought."

Another soldier spoke up, his voice filled with fear. "It's not hundreds. There are more than two hundred Orcs out there!"

The atmosphere became grim as the Orc hoard's numbers continued to increase. Everyone felt fear as they looked at the Orcs, and there was only one question on their minds: would they be able to protect the town and its people?

"We have to hold the line," the captain of the guard said firmly. "We can't let them breach the city walls."

The mages began to chant, their hands glowing with arcane energy as they prepared their spells. The hunters notched arrows and aimed at the approaching Orcs. The soldiers readied their weapons and took their positions on the defensive line.

"Steady now," the captain of the guard repeated. 

"Hold the line and let them come to us."

"Roarrrrr!!!"The Orc Lord let out a thunderous howl, causing the hearts of the people to race and their legs to tremble. "Charge!" he bellowed, and his horde of orcs responded with a frenzied rush towards the city walls.

The low-rank hunters dropped to their knees in fear, but the senior hunter, a seasoned veteran, yelled out to them, "Stand firm, orcs are no match for skilled hunters like us! Remember your training!"

The soldiers, armed with swords and spears, formed a line behind the hunters, and prepared to hold off the oncoming horde. "Steady, men!" shouted the captain. "We can take them! Hold the line!"

Meanwhile, the senior mage surveyed the scene from a vantage point on a nearby hill. "Mages, unleash your most powerful spells!" he ordered. "We must stop them before they breach the city walls!"

The mages quickly obeyed the order and unleashed their powerful spells, raining destruction upon the Orcs from afar. The Hunters and soldiers took up their swords and spears, bravely charging towards the advancing Orcs.

Some of the orcs were caught off guard by the sudden barrage, and many fell to the ground, dead or wounded.

"We can't let them breach the walls! Hold your ground and fight with all your might!" yelled one of the soldiers, rallying his comrades.

Despite their courage and determination, the Orcs were too numerous, and many fell into the traps that the hunters had placed beforehand. The battle was fierce, and many lives were lost on both sides.

As the Orc lord watched the battle from afar, a cunning smile spread across his pig-like face. He could see that his followers were overwhelming the defenders.

"Charge forward my brethren! The city will soon be ours!" he howled triumphantly.

At that moment, Yuan and his wives arrived at the scene, the sound of metal colliding and the roar of the orcs filled their ears. The sight before them was daunting - a horde of over two hundred orcs charging towards the town, with the Orc Lord leading the charge.

Robert and the other B-rank hunters looked pale with fear, but Yuan and his wives remained calm and composed. They were ready for this battle.

One of the B-rank hunters muttered, "How are we going to fend against nearly 300 orcs, not to mention the Orc Lord?" 

Another hunter said, "It's all over. This town is doomed, and we're all going to die."

Robert told them to keep their calm and defend the town until reinforcements arrived. 

Meanwhile, Yuan turned his attention to his wives and said in a serious tone, "This is a huge opportunity for us to gain experience and improve our martial techniques."

Grace nodded her head in agreement, "Fighting against hoards of monsters will provide us with a lot of benefits. We can learn from this experience and overcome our shortcomings."

Lily was visibly excited, "I can't wait to use my sword technique on these filthy pigs!" 

Anna gave Lily a stern look and said with a sigh, "It's good that you're excited, but we must keep an eye on each other while fighting."

Emma nodded in agreement with Anna's words. Yuan then said, "You can fight however you want, but do not overdo yourselves."

The hunters fighting the orcs noticed Association Head Robert and started cheering. Robert was an A-rank hunter known for his powerful Flams magic. The cheers of the hunters were drowned out by the sounds of clashing metal and the roar of the orcs.

Robert walked forward confidently, not showing any fear on his face, even though his heart was pounding faster with each step he took. 

He didn't want his image as an A-rank hunter to be tarnished in front of so many people. As he walked, he took out his wand from his magic pouch and aimed it at a group of orcs charging at some injured soldiers. 

He cast a spell, shouting loudly, "Flame Arrow!" The arrow hit the orcs and burned them to a crisp. 

Yuan and his wives, Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma, joined the party. Yuan took out his sword, the 'Blue Jade Spirit Sword,' from his system storage and charged at the closest group of Orcs. 

He channeled his Qi into the sword and executed his sword technique, 'One Sword One Strike.' With a single swing of his sword, five orc heads rolled onto the ground, and their bodies fell with a thud. 

He didn't stop there; he started to kill the orcs one by one, and each swing of his sword resulted in the death of many orcs. 

The orcs may be powerful monsters, but with their high body, they were very slow, and Yuan took full advantage of it. 

He then looked at his wives and said in a loud voice, "The orcs are very slow, and we should take full advantage of it with our speed." 

Anna and Grace took out their swords from their storage rings and channeled their Qi. They executed their sword technique, 'Lotus Blossom Sword Dance,' with a beautiful and elegant maneuver of their bodies. 

They swiftly sliced the necks of the orcs, and with each swift swing of their swords, more than five orcs would fall onto the ground, breathless. 

Lily had a huge smile on her face as she charged toward the orcs with her sword. She executed her sword technique, 'Frozen Moon Blade,' as she sliced the orcs left and right and froze them immediately. Some of the orcs got instantly frozen just by getting touched by her sword.

Emma used her martial arts technique, "Iron Palm Technique," to pummel the orcs to death. Her palms moved with lightning speed, and each strike took down two or three orcs.

  The group fought together as a team, each using their unique skills and abilities to take down the orcs. 

Robert cast various spells, freezing and burning the orcs, while Yuan, Anna, Grace, and Lily sliced through them with their swords.
