10 Reversed quest (2)

{So what are you gonna do Reyn ? It's still the afternoon, are you already tired ?}

{Of course not, I'll amuse myself.}

Talking mentally with Xaros, I start puting on my mask, my black cape and reveal my god side.

{How ?}

{I looked at the board quest earlier, a dungeon for gold adventurers already conquered started to leak out monsters again. Could you tell me where the Devil's Nest is ?}

{Sure.}

An image appeared in my mind of a black building made of stone and bricks surrounded by a forest.

I warped in the forest and found the exact memory. The same bulding and forest, though some shadows could be seen, the adventurers that accepted the quest earlier, 6 of them. It could either be a large party or 2 partie doing the same quest and helping each other.

The quest is a scout one, the adventurers have to investigate the source of the sudden appearance of monsters and if possible, subjugate it. If they can't, they will complete their quest just by telling stronger adventurers the details of the dungeon.

At each feet of the adventurers, corpses of goblins could be found, several dozen of them.

And at last, they entered.

{So, gonna follow 'em ?}

{No, I'll welcome them at the end floor.}

I myself entered the dark building casting on myself a sort of 'Night vision' spell and I directly headed by teleportation to the lair where the 'Boss' should be.

I felt a bit of joy when I looked at it.

{An ogre, huh ? I luckily encountered what the humans thought I was.}

A beast reaching 3 meters tall with light brown skin and a white horn on his forehead.

It seems the adventurers won't be here soon, so I can do what I want.

The ogre who saw me was a bit unsettled at my sudden appearance, it obviously ran towards me in anger since I am supposed to be an intruder for it.

{Xaros, are ogres capable of speaking and understanding ?}

{They can, although it may lack in speaking human language, if you show it who's the predator, it should try to understand. Why ? What are you going to do with it ?}

{Experimentation.}

The ogre takes a club laying next to him.

The room was wide, a big throne made of stone and bones is at the rear of the monster.

There was no goblins or other monsters in the room, they are surely fighting with the adventurers some floors above.

The beast charges towards me without any regret or fear.

I guess his instincts can't predict a non-existent mana or power.

Xaros already told me there isn't any mana around me, it's also the same for all Gods, probably because they are lumps of mana themselves after all, and for me, it's either because I am half-God and so, half-mana lump or either because I create it from nothing.

The ogre tries to swing at me his long club from above as I dodge it quite easily.

"Commandment; Stop."

I honetsly think it sounds cooler said out loud, it won't work for anything though.

When I said that, the ogre immediatly stopped his charge and while he still tries to reach me with his weapon, his legs immediatly recenter and take a step behind.

"Ogre, I am not your ennemy, instead, let me help you a little bit."

"He-lp ?"

"The intruders coming this way are just here to see the new master of this dungeon, however, they will try to kill you if they think you are weaker than them."

The ogre held a puzzled expression on his face, tilting his neck for not understanding my goal. It surely thinks of humans as food and not as predators.

"Commandment; Release."

The ogre this time, didn't attack me, he looked a little lost from the help offered from some human-looking creature.

I think of a mythril sword that I let on the ground near the throne, the perfect size for a 3 meters tall beast.

"For now, you will adress me as 'Lord', I will watch your fight with the intruders."

I sit on the rear throne while the ogre stood in the middle waiting for the final fight.

And at last, the adventurers enter the wide room. All humans, 4 men and 2 women all looking in their late or mid twenties. One of the girls is dressed and has the weapon of a mage while the other one seems to be a warrior with a sword. 2 men were also warriors, one carrying a sword and the other with a double handed hammer while 1 other man had the weapons of a thief in an RPG and the last one had a bow.

"An ogre, huh ? Shall we take it down ?"

"I think we can."
