Both Rachel and Ivette were breathing heavily with passion in their eyes as they looked at him.
"Haa… Haaa." Rachel hugged Aldred's arms and closed her eyes.
Ivette did the same thing. Even though she was a hero candidate, her physique became weak when Aldred ravaged her body. It felt so good, but her body couldn't hold on. She was feeling quite sad and worried that Aldred wouldn't be satisfied because of that.
Of course, Aldred didn't feel that way. In fact, he was worried that he couldn't satisfy his women.
After resting for a while, Aldred decided to leave the tent and let Rachel and Ivette rest.
When he left, he saw Lanalra, Sefni, and Shaniya standing outside with Stella, Mary, and the others.
"Perfect timing," Stella said. "What do you think of their new appearances?"
Aldred looked at the three ladies from top to bottom with their new clothes. Earlier, they wore simple fabric and armor, but Stella had dressed them up with a beautiful dress that revealed their long legs, and the clothes tightly hugged their waist.
"They looked beautiful."
The three ladies blushed when they heard that.
"But will this dress protect us?" Shaniya asked.
"Don't worry. That dress is a rare-grade treasure."
"Rare-grade?!" Shaniya was shocked. "This must be very expensive. Can we really use this?"
"Of course, you can. It's my gift to you three," Stella said.
"How can we pay for it?" Lanalra. "We have no more sea tokens."
"You don't have to pay," Stella said. "But I do have a request."
"What is it?" Sefni asked.
"You three have to sleep with Aldred."
"Ehh…"
"I am joking." Stella laughed. "You should have seen your faces."
The three ladies laughed at being found out that they liked Aldred.
"Don't tease them like that," Aldred said.
"I am sorry, dear." Stella approached him and kissed him on the lips. "I don't blame them for liking you. After all, who wouldn't fall for your charm?"
Aldred cleared his throat after hearing that. "Anyway, have you guys eaten yet?"
They all shook their heads.
"Bartrem?"
"I am still grilling the food!"
"Do you guys do this often?" Lanalra asked.
"Yeah, almost every day," Aldred said.
"You even grill deep underwater…" Sefni couldn't believe their dedication to grilling.
Aldred chuckled. "We will do it in the sky if we have to."
"Have you three visited Mount Fargon before?" Stella asked.
The three of them shook their heads. "We actually never plan to participate in this treasure hunt. We don't have an astrolabe, so it's impossible for us to find the place for the next stage."
"So you're here unplanned?" Stella asked.
The three of them nodded.
"We are ordinary adventurers. We hunt monsters and sell them. We are not very ambitious."
"Living like that is fine as well," Aldred said. "A stable and safe life is preferable to a lot of people. And there's nothing wrong with it."
The three ladies nodded, but Lanalra glanced at Aldred. "Do you have any reason to live like that? With your power and wealth, you can live your lives happily."
Aldred smiled. "I have a goal, but it's not only about that. During my adventure, I realize that I need the power to control my own fate. Sure, living a stable life is good, but someone more powerful than me can take that life in a heartbeat."
"Like who?"
"The nobles, the wealthy merchant, Wildlings Gang, and anyone else who is more powerful than me. Being weak means that our fate is in the palm of their hands."
The three ladies widened their eyes when they saw the sadness in Aldred's eyes. It seemed like he fought for this treasure for a much greater cause.
In his past life, Aldred's life was dictated by others. He was poor and unwanted. He couldn't control his own fate.
This reminded him of something: Without power, you can affect nothing.
"You must have experienced something that makes you think this way," Lanalra said.
"Yes, and I wish you three never have to experience it," Aldred replied. "Anyway, Bartrem! Is the food done yet?"
"Not yet!" Bartrem flipped the meat and told his men to do the same. As he was about to increase the flame, he sensed something behind him.
Without any delay, he spun and slashed. An orc was sliced in half. "Enemy attack! Get into position!"
Aldred activated his godly eyes and saw that numerous deep-sea orcs were hiding within the tall, thick seaweeds.

These orcs brought axes and some kind of weapons used for sawbones. They brought a variety of weapons such as a long black axe, two short axes, and even a long, thick serrated sword.
Their appearance was unpleasant, to say the least. They looked like three meters-tall zombies with two big teeth sticking out rather than an actual orc.
More of these monsters appeared, and they surrounded the camp.
"Yo, what you enter my territory for, yo?" A small orc appeared and spoke.
"Oh, you can talk. That makes it easier. Leave us alone, and you will not die," Aldred said.
The small orc laughed. "You came to my territory and threatened me, yo. Do you think I am stupid, yo?"
"Do you have to end your sentence with 'yo'? Every time?"
"That's my style, yo."
"Let me show you my style." Aldred summoned his Phantom Doomblade and charged toward it.
Seeing the menacing-looking blade, the small orc grabbed a bottle from its waist and threw it to Aldred.
The bottle exploded into a blinding light, which made everyone close their eyes by reflex. Aldred laughed as he kept his eyes open. His godly eyes were immune to this. He charged through the light, and punched the small orc in the face, before stabbing its neck with the Phantom Doomblade.

When the light disappeared, the other orcs gasped in shock when they saw their leaders being killed.
"Leader. Death. Not. Good. Kill. Man. Get. Revenge."
"You guys sound like a broken speaker," Aldred said.
"REVENGE!" the orcs screamed before they charged toward him.
"I am sick of having weaker monsters ganging up on me. Red Rain!"
The whole world seemed to turn red at that moment, and powerful, large spears of flame rained upon the orcs.
The people that followed him all this time were shocked. Their bodies trembled when they felt the suffocating power around them. It was so much harder to breathe than usual.
And when they saw the flame spears turn the orcs to mist, their eyes widened.
There were hundreds of orcs coming from the dense seaweed. Despite Aldred killing them by the dozens without lifting a finger, the orcs kept on coming like cockroaches.

As Aldred killed more and more orcs, a hoarse shout came from the distance.
"Who dares kill my underlings!"
A gigantic arm stabbed out of the ground, and pushed itself, revealing a 10-meters-tall orc with spears, swords, axes, and various weapons stuck on its skin.
