Crackle

"Kwaaaargh!"

The Orc commander screamed as sparks flew off his body. The enhanced magic lingered, scorching his flesh for a long time.

It was a spectacular sight to witness up close. Had Nina really just fainted after getting hit by something like that? Justin glanced to the side, where Nina was trembling, visibly shaken by the sight of the Orc commander. It seemed to remind him of something from the past.

"K-Kuhuh..."

As the purple electricity finally faded from the Orc's body, it gasped for air, clearly struggling. The creature was unsteady on its feet, clearly not in its right mind, but it still didn't let go of the ladder it was gripping.

"What the hell..."

"It survived that?!"

The Pioneers around Justin voiced the thoughts he himself was having. Not only had the Orc commander not fainted, but it had managed to keep hold of the ladder despite everything.

But Justin had no intention of letting the Orc recover.
