Damian observed the monster for a while. It's strong, in terms of strength, he is no match for that thing, but it has low agility and iq, which can be his advantage. Damian grabbed the sword handle. Should he make a move? Just as he is thinking a wolf managed to inflict a wound on the orc while trying to escape from being food to this orc.
Result, the poor guy smacked into meat paste, the wound it inflicted slowly started healing, not instantaneous healing, slow healing. In a couple of minutes the wound closed. The orc then started looking around like it's searching for something.
Damian moved away while planning his next action against the orc. Recklessly charging is useless, especially since this outclass him in terms of strength, it can also run fast almost catching upto him. So there is only one way. Plan an ambush. Maybe he can create a something that will slow down the regen.
Damian then remembered something and looked at the demonic sword he made. This thing can inflict leech, erosion and corrupt status right. Then if he can get one hit with this sword on the orc, it'll fall into a eroded state with it's health leeching off to him and it's wound will get the corrupt status negating it's regen factor.
Damian placed traps, he used the newly assigned lab construction as a means. The construction is still at the beginning and they dug large holes on ground for laying foundation. With a grin, Damian collected the steel sharpenels he used to ambush the wolves. Then he collected some wood and dirt for covering the traps.
Damian then whistled to the orc loudly. The orc ran towards him. Damian started running towards the traps. Once he is there, he just ran ahead. The wood can afford his wait, but as the orc stepped on the wood, it directly broke and the orc fell into the large put filled with steel spikes.
*Roar*
It roared and wailed in pain as it got impaled all of over it's body. Damian didn't even give it the chance to come back to it's sense, he directly attacked the back side of it's head while it's roaring, as a result he managed to cut into back of its neck But not all the way out.
Seems like the orc also held some thick hide. The orc came back to it's senses and tried to catch Damian but Damian already moved away. A purple black aura appeared on the wound, it stopped the regeneration, the orc started swaying as if affected by something. It's regen got negated, the wound isn't healing, moreover the purple black energy started spreading over the orc.
The orc tried to move but each time it did, it only got impaled by more steel spikes. Damian waited for the orc to bleed out eventually, moreover all the while, the demonic sword has a little shine of red. In a few minutes, the orc died.

Damian smirked, time for harvesting materials.

The orc crumbled into dust. Damian thought for a while, he dismantled the mace he had and then fused it with orc bone. A C grade bone steel mace has been created along with another achivement. Damian ignored it and turned to regeneration skill description instead.
[ Name : Regeneration ]
[ Type : Skill (passive) ]
[ Grade : D+ ]
[ Effects : Consumes a little stamina to regenerate from normal wounds and when stamina isn't available feeds on mana to regenerate. Can't be effective towards lethal wounds or fatal hits. This passive skill stops taking effect once stamina and mana are exhausted ]
Basically he got the regeneration of this orc monster now. It's a good one, he doesn't need to use the soul fragements to heal everytime. Damian grabbed his gear and started walking towards the main building. He saw the timer on the exit, seems like it has some kind of condition for them, if they don't meet that condition, they can't be allowed to exit this campus.
As Damian walked towards the main building, he killed all monsters that appeared on the way, just as he is entering the main building gate, an arrow is fired at his feet. He looked up and saw the members of archery club looking at him with vigilant expressions. He recognised one of his friends among them and shouted," Hey Richie, it's me Damian. Let me in ".
A few moments later. People appeared with their bows drawn. Damian raised an eyebrow," guys, are you serious? I'm not some monsters, I'm a human like you. There is no need for this ", Richie approached Damian with vigilance and asked," how can I believe if you're really Damian? Tell me one thing, that only both of us know ".
Damian said," you snores, really loud and bad. You sing when taking a bath knowing you sound ridiculous. You like to eat pork with a mix of ketchup and hot sauce. You like bright colours, your crush is ", Richard shouted," enough i believe it's you Damian ".
Richard took a deep breath. He is almost exposed entirely. Damian smirked and said," so, what's this interrogation about? There is only one Damian West in the entire campus. No one even has a similar name ", Richard sighed and explained," we have a shapeshifter or something among us. They're luring people and robbing them ".
Damian's mouth twitched," let me guess, robbing people isn't the only thing he/she did ", Richard said," it's a he, that guy tried to assault a girl in washroom. But fortunately, Laura is there in the washroom too and saved the poor girl. That guy took the appearance of one of our dead classmates. So we need to make sure you're not an imposter. And Damian, I wanted to ask, where did you get this gear? ".
Damian said," I hunted monsters and got this gear ".
