It was only when Luke was facing the first Orc in line that he realized just how big this creature really was.
The monster was surprised for a second, but reacted immediately afterwards. He opened his muscular arms wide, showing how large his wingspan was, to cause fear in his opponent, and roared.
That roar was loud, and ferocious enough to make the snow on their feet shake. Had Luke not cleared much of the snow on the ground above, that vibration could have been the trigger for an avalanche.
In the village a few hundred meters below, the person guiding the other Orcs thought he heard something coming from the mountains. Still, the wind was always blowing so loudly with the echo caused by the mountain ranges, that he thought it was just storm noises.
Luke, who was standing very close to the Orc, felt some of the monster's spittle fly in his face, but he didn't care.
