A horde of muscular dark green-skinned men came out of the dimensional gate.
A horde of orcs has invaded planet Earth!
Most of the orcs were three meters tall while a few had even reached seven meters!
But even when those orcs were taller than the awakened humans, the awakened humans weren't intimidated by the imposing height of the orcs. After all, the awakened humans felt that they were stronger than the orcs.
And that was proven true when the close-ranged fighters easily sliced through the thick skin of the orcs. They had already known about the defense of the orcs since it was shown when a sniper bullet could easily pierce through it during the time Keith had fought against the orc.
Although the orcs that came out of the dimensional gate in the second monster invasion were stronger than the orc in the first monster invasion, that didn't affect the awakened humans much. After all, they previously didn't have any mana and skills in the first monster invasion.
And currently, most of them were at S-rank. That alone was enough to slaughter a bunch of orcs let alone a group of S-rank awakened humans slaughtering an army of orcs.
Even if those SSS-rank awakened humans couldn't defeat the monsters from Arcadia, humanity still had a last resort which was none other than Sherry Blossom, the first X-rank awakened human. Aside from her, there weren't any X-rank awakened on planet Earth.
Only a few cultivators could reach X-rank in terms of power since most of them were killed by Keith. There weren't even cultivators at XX-rank who had lived since they didn't meet Keith's requirements for being a "good" person.
Due to that, aside from Sherry, only a few humans were at the power of X-rank and most of them weren't even registered as an awakened humans in the Awakened Guild. Only Sherry was registered since those cultivators had chosen to live in seclusion.
And since all of the awakened humans were informed that both Sherry and Keith had participated in the monster invasion, the awakened humans felt at ease.
With that in mind, the awakened humans near the dimensional gate had started their slaughter against the horde of orcs.
Countless fireballs, ice shards, magic arrows, and other magical projectiles assaulted the hordes of orcs. Those who fought at close range had unsheathed their swords and slashed at the orcs while others raised their spear and stabbed the orcs to death.
At the back, the support group had gathered as they provided buffs and healing to those on the front lines. So even if those S-rank awakened humans were somehow injured, they could still recover due to the support group.
Those at the front lines had already donned a simple but effective battle formation.
As usual, the number of orcs that came out of the dimensional gate was similar to the number of goblins that had invaded. At least, thousands of orcs came out of the dimensional gate to invade planet Earth.
But even if those orcs were several times stronger than a goblin and had similar quantities to those goblins, they weren't powerful enough to defeat the awakened humans.
From Keith's estimation, the goblins were at F-rank in terms of power. As for those orcs, they were at D-rank. Of course, there were still exceptions to that since Keith noticed that some orcs had reached the power of C-rank.
Either way, even if those orcs were somewhat powerful compared to normal humans, they still couldn't defeat the S-rank awakened humans that had gathered to deal with the monster invasion.
One should know that S-rank awakened humans were quite rare. Most humans hadn't even awakened their mana and skills. While those who had awakened their mana and skills could only reach F-rank and E-rank.
But since the dimensional gate had descended in America, the US population had more awakened humans compared to other countries. Due to that, most of the stronger awakened humans were in the US.
But since awakened humans at S-rank and above were low in numbers, not all S-rank and above awakened humans who participated in the defense against the monster invasion were all Americans. Some of them were from other countries but due to the presence of the Awakened Guild, the awakened humans were orderly despite having different nationalities.
Not to mention, the presence of an outside foreign enemy had caused humanity to set aside their differences and they became united to defeat the monsters from Arcadia.
It didn't take long for the awakened humans to slaughter the orcs to the point that there weren't any orcs that came out of the dimensional gate.
Some of the awakened humans were already exhausted so they were taking a rest. But before they could rest, they noticed that the dimensional gate didn't turn green and remained blue.
In other words, the monster invasion hasn't ended yet!
At the roof of the building, Keith and Sherry had noticed it and they couldn't help but frown.
"Will this be the same as before? I remembered that after the goblin invasion, a single orc that could be considered a boss monster had come out of the dimensional gate. Assuming that logic applies to our current situation, a boss monster should also come out of the dimensional gate after the orc invasion."
When Keith spoke those words, Sherry nodded in agreement.
"It shouldn't be impossible. Otherwise, it won't explain why the dimensional gate hadn't turned green yet. The fewer the casualties, the better. But it seems that Arcadia badly wants to take over planet Earth."
"It won't be long before-"
Before Sherry could continue her words, she halted her words when she noticed a surge of mana that was released from the dimensional gate.
Not only Keith and Sherry, but those awakened humans near the dimensional gate were one of the first to notice the dimensional gate's abnormality.
The abnormal mana fluctuation coming out of the dimensional gate had caused some fears from the weaker awakened humans while the stronger ones had raised their guard against the dimensional gate.
A minute had passed yet nothing unusual occurred aside from the surge of mana that was released from the dimensional gate.
The continuous surge of mana released from the dimensional gate had caused the mana on the planet Earth to increase. Although not in a huge quantity, Keith still had noticed that the mana in the atmosphere had become slightly denser than before.
Although the surge of mana that was released from the dimensional gate had benefited them, Keith and the others didn't become relieved but had increased their vigilance towards the dimensional gate.
Those awakened humans who were near the dimensional gate had retreated a few meters away to prevent any unexpected attacks that came out of the dimensional gate.
The swordsmen had already raised their swords while the mages had started casting their spells. All of the awakened humans had started their preparations.
But before they could finish their preparations, they noticed that several black shadows came out of the dimensional gate and those black shadows headed towards the awakened humans.
The mages cast a magic barrier that protected the warriors at the front lines. The support group prepared a mana potion for the mages while the warriors at the front lines recognized the black shadows that attacked them.
Several wolves had come out of the dimensional gate. But compared to the average wolf on planet Earth, those wolves were as twice as huge as a car and their silver fur had discharged sparks of lightning.
With Keith's Eyes of Heaven, he had already seen through the power of the lightning wolves and he was ready to support the awakened humans at any time.
"The lightning wolves are at S-rank! Pay attention to their swift speed and their lightning attribute attacks!"
"Maintain the formation and protect the support group and the mages!"
When the awakened humans heard Keith's command, they nodded their heads and prepared to attack the lightning wolves.
Although the lightning wolves were countless times stronger than the orcs from before, that didn't cause the awakened humans to lose their morale.
Since the lightning wolves were only at S-rank, aside from raising their vigilance, the awakened humans weren't that fearful of those monsters.
The weakest of the awakened humans were at S-rank while the strongest was at SSS-rank. Not to mention, the lightning wolves were only ten in number while the awakened humans that surrounded the dimensional gate were in the hundreds.
"SSS-rank Magic, Slow!"
Lucas, an SSS-rank mage, wasn't stingy on expending his mana and immediately used his SSS-rank debuff magic to reduce the speed of the lightning wolves.
Receiving an SSS-rank speed debuff, those lightning wolves who were proud of their swift speed had become as slow as a horse.
Because of that, those awakened humans were glad and raised a thumbs up toward Lucas and the warriors fought off against the lightning wolves after the S-rank mages withdrew the magic barrier.
"Slaughter them all!"
"I call dibs on the wolf meat!"
"Don't think about food, just kill!"
"I had long hated those wolf furry romance novels! Now I can kill those damn wolves without getting imprisoned!"
"Kill!"
The war cry of the awakened humans resounded on the battlefield as they started their battle against the lightning wolves.
