Immediately after leaving the underground city, Reign had used his lightning as he ran full speed towards the ce where Magokur told him the yers were. With his level and power right now he didn''t fear being attacked in the town, only the orc chieftain and the giant ape were able to put him and the others in danger, even themander of the orcs which Magokur and they were nning on killing was not someone that he feared, even if it was a one on one fight.
ck and white lightning coiled around Reign as he blitzed through his surroundings, it was as if the lightning itself could feel the urgency that Reign had and was behaving itself, instead of sting everything around Reign it was simply coiling around him and sticking to his body. His speed was incredible and even the monster that he passed wasn''t able to see him, there was only a ck and white blur that passed by them, before they could even respond, he would be gone.
''I have a bad feeling about this.'' Reign thinks as he runs, ever since Magokur told him about the yers that were near their base he had a bad feeling about it, for the yers to actually go near the base of the orcs should be impossible, Reign and the others had repeatedly told them how dangerous it was and all the yers treasured their lives and wouldn''t risk going so deep in enemy territory.
Even though the orcs had called back most of their patrol teams and troops from the town it still wasn''t safe, many different monsters could be seen on the streets and buildings and there would also be some asional orcs that would be present. Only Neil''s team and Cameron''s team were the ones that would get close to the orc territory as they were strong enough to fight against the orcs, even they, however, would act with utmost caution when being attacked by multiple orcs or arge team of monsters would be dangerous for them.
Rain started falling from the sky as Reign ran with all of his might, Shadow and the others were running towards the location as well, but their speed was much lowerpared to Reign who was going all out currently. Magokur told him that they would reach the yers in 5 minutes, Reign and the others needed approximately 2 minutes to exit the city, with Reign''s current speed he would reach their location in about 7 minutes.
He could only hope that the yers would be able to hang on for 4 minutes, of course, there was the possibility that Magokur and his party would reach them earlier if they hurry, considering how the chieftain was angry, there was a big possibility that themander would choose to get to the yers as fast as possible which would mean the yers had even less time before meeting them.
There was also the possibility that the yers might actually go towards Magokur''s position, it was highly unlikely as that would mean they were moving towards the orc base, but if something like that was to happen then Reign calcted that they might meet in a mere 2 or 3 minutes. That was the worst-case possibility and if that happens, then it would mean that Magokur and his party might already be locked in battle against the yers.
Reign continued running towards the location as he thought of all the possibilities, that was the worst-case scenario that he could think of, there was also the possibility that the yers might have started retreating back towards the territory as well, that would be the best-case scenario as that would mean that Reign could reach them at approximately the same time as Magokur and his party.
Before he knew it, Reign was already at the location where the yers were previously spotted, unfortunately, they were not there and he had not seen them on his way here. There was a good chance that they were hiding somewhere as well, but since the orc scouts had spotted them already, that would be the worst thing to do.
As soon as Reign stopped he could hear sounds of metal colliding from a direction, followed by a loud banging sound. His eyes widened slightly as he immediately ran towards the location. After about a minute he had arrived at the location, immediately after arriving however he stopped as his eyes widened at the sight in front of him.
…
1 minute earlier
Magokur had tied the yers with a rope, they were battered up and two of them had one of their arms broken. Out of the four yers that were tied, 3 were knocked out while thest one, a small girl that used a crossbow was staring at him with a mixture of fear and anger.
Bang!
Magokur turned around as he could see themander smashing thest yer on the ground, the ground cracked as the yer spewed blood from his mouth. The poor boy probably had multiple broken bones from the attack, for some reason that particr yer recognized themander and was relentlessly attacking him, even though he was at a great disadvantage.
"Your eyes are still lively, boy." Themander speaks with a rough voice as he looks down at the human below him, the boy was staring daggers at him while still clutching his weapon, "It doesn''t seem as if you will yield."
Themander suddenly steps on the boy''s arm as the sound of bones breaking could be heard, the boy screams in pain as he lets go of his spear. Themander smiles gleefully before bringing his giant sword up.
"Commander, he will be more of use with the others, we can use them to lure the humans." Magokur suddenly tells the giant orc from behind him, that was the strategy he came up with, he told themander that the humans would be more useful as bait and that they should capture them.
Luckily his n worked as themander agreed with him, that was the only reason why the four yers behind them were still alive, the only exception was the boy in front of him, for some reason he was hell-bent on killing themander and Magokur could see that themander was already furious at the boy. Even though the human in front of him had a power that could have helped him escape, he still chose to fight against themander, knowing full well that the battle would not be in his favor.
"This one is an eyesore." Before Magokur could do anything themander had brought his sword down and stabbed through the boy''s chest. The shocked face of the human gave themander great satisfaction as he smiled with immense joy. Suddenly he looked up as another human had appeared, ck and white lightning coiled around him as he looked at themander and the boy with shock.
"Another bug." Themander says while Magokur looks at Reign with a surprised look, he never thought that he would arrive so quickly. Before any of them could do anything an immense mana pressure had appeared from Reign as he suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"What, where d-" Themander''s question was cut short as Reign had appeared beside him, before thetter could move he was sted away by Reign''s fist, pieces of metal from the orc''s armor were sted around the area as the orc flew a couple of meters away. The rain around the area that Reign was standing on was sted alongside the orc.
[ Compact Punch ] – 100% charge
Magokur and the other orcs all had astonished looks on their faces, the immense pressure that Reign was currently exuding was enough to pressure the orcs immensely as they were barely able to move. Seeing theirmander being sted away with such ease also put them in a state of confusion and immense fear towards the human that had suddenly appeared in front of them.
Reign quickly goes down on one knee as he inspects the boy, the huge sword hadpletely prated him from the chest all the way down to the stomach. Even if Laura was here he wasn''t certain that she could do anything to save him.
The girl that was tied up looked at Reign''s back as tears formed in her eyes. He puts his hand on the boy''s face as thetter grabs it.
"Adam, you –"
"He, he''s the bastard that killed my family, boss, I- I''m-" Adam suddenly stops speaking as he vomits out blood from his mouth.
"I''m sorry, I wanted to scout their base, but, I got the others involved, these guys appeared and I- I tried, I tried to win," Adam speaks with a weak voice as his pale face grows weaker by the second.
"I tried boss, but, he was too strong."
"Don''t worry about that now, Laura and the others areing, you''re going to be fine," Reign speaks with a calm voice as his eyes got teary, Adam smiles weakly at his words as he coughs out some more blood.
"I, I want to believe you, boss, but your face says a different story, please, just, just avenge me and my parents, please just-" Another series of violent coughs stop Adam from speaking as thetter was barely able to breathe afterward, Reign looks him straight in the eyes while the boy was still conscious.
"Leave it to me." Adam smiles as he hears his words before his eyes close, the hand which was grabbing Reign''s loses power as it falls down. Reign continues looking at Adam''s lifeless face before a furious shout breaks the silence.
"Human, how dare you!!" The orcmander charged at Reign as he spat out blood from his mouth, the blow from before had truly angered him.
