214 114. A Minor Connection -1 (Part One)

**

Inside the forest of demonic beasts.

Alice, while currently kitted out in an easy-to-move Priestess uniform, was quickly dashing through the forest.

She smacked away the tree branches in her way with her gauntlet-equipped hands and nimbly darted over the thick tree roots below.

She glanced to her side and that's when 'something' appeared right next to her side.

-Ku-aaahk!

This thing, a monster, had green skin and tusk-like fangs that jutted out sharply from an ugly, scary-looking face. Its body was also far more muscular than any human out there.

It was an Orc.

There wasn't just one Orc either, but many of them; they wore worn-down armour and each of them brandished a variety of bladed weapons like swords, spears, and axes.

Alice tutted inwardly at that. These Orcs were faster than she had anticipated.

She shifted her gaze back to her front only to gasp and flinch in surprise. She then hurriedly ducked her head lower.
