Chapter 31: A right move?
Bang!
The berserk orc charged toward the person believed to be the strongest amongst the pack!
Gin!
"Come!" Gin maintained the same smile on his face as the enemy raced toward him.
Boom!
His entire armor exploded with a surging blue aura, including his blade! The magic gear used by Gin is considered the most basic since it allows the user to enhance their abilities with their mana in its base form. Normally people go for unique magic gears with unique attributes so his choice of magic gear can be called weird by people who know nothing about him but for someone like Damon, he considered someone like Gin extremely terrifying.
The guardian spirit host of force grants the user immense mana reserves, unfortunately, they cannot use other elements. In the hands of anyone else, this magic gear would have been useless but to someone like Gin, it could be considered the best.
Bang!
The bone dagger descended very quickly but met the blue sword which parried it away almost effortlessly!
Peng!
Gin slid back as blue mana could be seen beneath his skin, signaling he was already using the reinforcement ability yet he couldn't match a mere orc scout in strength!
Roar!
The orc scout brandished its dagger at Gin but no matter how much he tried, Gin always parried the attack effectively!
The Berserk mode may have improved its strength but not only did its defense drop but it's stopped thinking as well, fighting like a wild beast with no tactics can't be considered a good thing!
Swoosh!
Damon was going to move against the berserk orc scout but then he felt a strong killing intention, directed towards Gin! The second orc scout must have concluded they have no backup, now it plans to kill Gin who it considers the most threat here too.
"No, you don't!" Damon bellowed as his fist with his flames blazing violently around it!
The second orc scout planned to race past him but its waist was met with a powerful right hand, knocking it off balance and making it fall loudly, drawing Cyrus and Klien's attention. They were too focused on the berserk orc that they failed to notice the second!
"I need time" Damon said coldly as he let out an orange light and a fierce hot aura could be seen escaping his body.
"I can handle this!" Gin cried out as he brandish his blade at the orc, releasing thin yet lethal arcs of blue mana!
Facing this, the beserk orc didn't even bother dodging or blocking, it dashed into the attack, breaking through it like glass as its blade struck forward ruthlessly!
Peng!
The blade met a blue barrier around Gin, stopping it from penetrating, yet the sheer power from the attack made Gin retreat!
Meanwhile, Klien was like a red knight in his blood armor and blood spear as he raced forward thrusting relentlessly toward the enemy. Unlike Gin, he was lacking in power, speed, and technique but he had Cyrus to back him up!
The golden swords circled the orc, bombarding him from numerous angles, preventing it from having the chance to perform a counterattack!
Damon remained silent as almost invisible strings of flames surged out of his fingertips, rolling down until it was five meters long!
Xiu!
The magic circle beneath his feet shattered and was replaced with a fierce burst of wind which sent Damon flying forward!
Supposedly sensing his approach, the second orc scout ignored everything else and turned to meet Damon head-on, striking at the kid!
The blood spear and other golden blades pierce his body but it lacked the sheer power to go deep enough!
Swoosh!
Damon blitzed past the orc and fell to the ground, rolling a couple of times. His shoulder had a deep cut on it, revealing his bone. He needed the help of the wind surging beneath his feet just to get back up
Bam!
Everyone was worried about Damon but then they heard something fall. It was the hand of the orc scout wielding the bone dagger!
"What kind of spell is that?" Cyrus and Klien frowned.
The flaming strings were so small they could not see them. All they saw was Damon racing past the enemy with his fingers moving in a wired manner. After pulling off such a stunt, it wasn't too surprising that he got hurt badly. What they found surprising, is that he was able to sever the hand of an orc scout!
The orc scout cried out in pain, as it held on to its bleeding arm while gazing at Damon. Its eyes slowly turned green and fierce green light surged around its body. Seeing the strange symbols spread, Damon frowned and prepared himself for the worse.
It is said when an orc goes berserk it only sees the target and nothing else! If that is the case they have a chance of victory!
"You guys handle that one with Gin. I will lead this one away, hopefully, it will bleed out before it gets to me!" Damon said as he waved his hand and the fire strings swung forward like a whip, slashing at the berserk orc!
Roar!
It cried out and charged at Damon who in turn just turned and ran. With the wind beneath his feet, it looked like he was skating as he ran down the hill smoothly, leaving everyone else stunned.
What just happened?
The orc scout lost its arm to Damon so it entered Berserk mode in a bid to take revenge. Since Damon was the one who hurt it, it chased after him. Thinking about it, only Gin can exchange blows when going against a berserk orc scout. If the second orc scout went berserk here, they probably would have lost. Separating it from the rest of the crew was the best option since it guaranteed victory for them. The only problem now comes in form of a simple question.
Can Damon survive an orc scout in berserk mode?
The question made everyone restless including Damon. He didn't think about the possible outcome, he was just acting impulsively!
