The orc slowly continued walking closer to the party as his loud footsteps echoed through the surrounding area. His long, braided hair swayed in the wind as his red eyes showed excitement. The war hammer in his hands was about 3 meters long with the end being 20 cm wide and half a meter long. It wasn’t like Greenie’s hammer that was completely blunt as it had a spike that glinted dangerously in the sunlight.
Beast and Laura dropped down on the ground some 5 meters behind Reign and the others, they prepared themselves for battle as they looked at the giant orc. The sheer pressure he emitted was at least on the level of the field boss that they previously fought against. His smaller body however would make him a harder target to hit while his reflexes and speed should be above the boss.
[ Lvl 30 Boss vice-commander Makogur “Thundermaul” ]
“Thundermaul, that should be a title right?” Wolf suddenly asks Reign who was looking at the boss with a serious gaze.
“Yeah, a titled boss, Eldar said those are stronger compared to normal bosses, like an elite version of a boss.”
“Why can’t we get a break these days, one day, I just want to have one day where we’re not getting attacked by freaking bosses!” Shadow shouts out in anguish as he readies his daggers, although he was complaining he was still a bit excited, fighting somebody this strong will be tough, but also a good opportunity to hone their skills.
“The leader is quite upset over what you humans have done so far, so I was assigned by him and the commander to take care of you once and for all,” Makogur speaks as his hammer suddenly starts producing electricity that swirls around it.
“Electricity, this guy is also a lightning user like you Reign.”
“Maybe, but maybe not, lightning is just one of the forms of electricity, even my lightning is just a hugely watered-down version of the real thing, for now, I don’t know what rank or level his ability is.” Says Reign as sparks of electricity slowly cover his arm, Makogur sees that and lifts his right eyebrow in surprise.
“Nice power you have there human, but let me see how it holds up against mine.” Makogur suddenly releases a shout as his body suddenly gets covered by dark orange electricity.
“Dark Orange, that should be the B rank ability.” Reign smiles as his blue lightning suddenly covers him, with a flash he and Makogur were gone as they clash in the middle of the battlefield.
Makogur widened his eyes in surprise as he could feel that Reign’s ability was much more powerful compared to his, he wasn’t even able to bring his hammer down completely before Reign’s swords had clashed against it, neutralizing a big part of his strength. Even so, Makogur’s raw strength was above Reign’s and even his weakened attack was able to contend against Reign’s full-powered attack.
“Not bad human, not bad!” Magokur laughs before suddenly punching Reign who swiftly dodges the blow, the others were all standing back and letting Reign fight. This was the first time they had come across a monster that had the same ability as theirs, albeit, at a lower rank, they could see that Reign was interested in seeing how different they were.
Magokur was definitely not to be underestimated, even though his speed was below Reign’s, he was faster compared to them, only Shadow was at the same level, that was of course without him using his shadow body which would increase his speed greatly.
His strength was above them as well, Wolf was the person with the highest strength attribute amongst them, followed by Greenie and Tank, but even he would be unable to exchange blows equally against him.
“This one is going to be tough,” Wolf exclaims as he readies his sword, Reign was being pushed back by Magokur who was fighting with no regard for his safety. He already had a couple of wounds on his body but it seemed that it only worked to make him more savage in his attacks.
They still didn’t panic really, with all 6 of them he would die, that much was certain.
Suddenly they look in the distance as they could see a small army of orcs and hobgoblins advancing towards them, they all immediately use their abilities and advance towards Magokur, hoping to kill him before the army arrives.
“Damn it, how did we forget that this bastard had an army with him!?” Wolf angrily yells out as they all attack Magokur who swipes his hammer towards them, a wave of electricity was sent their way as they all dodge to the side.
“Getting a bit worried humans?” Magokur smiles at them as he attacks suddenly, his speed was still the same as before as they all try their best to dodge and fight back. Tank used his shield to block Magokur, but only to be blown away by one of his strikes, his power was even greater than they expected.
“Dammit, we won’t make it in time.” Wolf curses out as he sends a wave of fire towards Magokur who widens his eyes before quickly attacking back with his electricity. The fire and electricity clash before extinguishing.
“Dammit.” Wolf curses as he swings his sword at Magokur who blocks the attack.
“Fire, it seems you also have a power human.” He smiles at Wolf as they both used their abilities right after the blows. They both get out with injuries, Wolf had some of his skin darkened while Magokur had a small part of his chest charred by the fire, he simply continued smiling however as he continued attacking.
“Mana Shield 2”
Tank successfully blocks the attack as he attacks the giant orc with his scythe. Magokur failed to respond in time and got cut slightly on his shoulder, he expected Tank to be blown back by his attack again.
Before he could stabilize himself Shadow was already attacking from behind him as he had teleported through his shadow.
“Discharge!” Magokur shouts as the electricity around him suddenly explodes, Shadow and Tank were both blown back by the attack before slowly climbing up. Their hair was a mess and electricity was still visible around them as they cough before getting ready to continue the battle. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.
A couple of arrows were blocked by Magokur before one of them exploded right in front of him, he coughed from the smoke while his arm was injured by the explosion. Laura swiftly used her demonic powers to bombard him with her missile-like attacks as he tried to dodge them before being stopped by Reign.
Greenie suddenly jumps from behind Reign as he brings his hammer down on Magokur who catches it with one hand. The power behind Greenie’s blow was greater than he had expected however as his arm was being pushed back.
“You’re not human.” He suddenly says as he takes a good look at Greenie who punches him in the face suddenly before drawing some distance between them. The army was already close and they had to fight against them as well.
“You actually have one of us in your midst?” Magokur looked at Reign with a surprised gaze as he seemed to be thinking about something.
“Red building, highest floor.” He suddenly utters before attacking Greenie who blocked the attack, what surprised Greenie however is that the force behind the attack was lower compared to what he had expected.
“What?” Reign was looking at Magokur with a confused expression before suddenly widening his eyes.
“You guys, attack the army, let me and Greenie fight against him!”
“What, but Reign-”
“Just trust me!”
They all looked at Reign with a confused expression before nodding to him and charging toward the army.
“Beast, red building, last floor, send your beasts there and tell them to kill anything inside, no, tell them to destroy the floor completely, you use your exploding arrows as well!”
“Huh, what?”
“Just do it, get on the eagle and go!”
“Alright.”
Beast nods as he summons his eagle back to pick him up before flying towards the nearby red building. He swiftly landed on the top of the building and summoned his animals before instructing them what to do, they all swiftly get inside the building and start demolishing the entire floor while Beast gets on the back of his eagle and launches his exploding arrows at the floor beneath them.
“Whatever is there may try to escape, it’s best if I do it like this.” He thinks to himself as he bombards the place, only a couple of seconds had passed before he saw Blackie fighting against somebody on the last floor. He quickly commanded his beasts to join Blackie before launching his arrows at the unknown figure.
Only a short time period had passed before they had successfully killed the enemy, it seemed like it was an orc, but compared to the others he was shorter and thinner while his skin was of a much darker color.
He realized why Reign sent him here and quickly got back to the battlefield before shouting at Reign.
“It’s done!”
Reign nods to him before looking at Magokur with a serious expression on his face. Suddenly they both jump back before attacking the army together, much to the shock of the orcs and Reign’s party.
“Kill them, don’t let anyone escape!” Magokur suddenly shouts out as he brings his hammer down on a poor orc that looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
