Chapter 90: 86: Tales of a treasure pt 5

Cail's POV,

I watched the Orcs riders in front of me and couldn't help being shocked by their presence alone, this is the first time I've seen wolves of this size. Orc Riders I am aware of, hail from Degr kingdom and then the other is from the white mountains.

Both parties were rare Calvary units and the mounts were different, one rides the Furlkuva and the other rides the Blood horned Bison.

The Furlkuva is a hard shelled reptilian creature, that fed on flesh and the Blood horned Bison were known for their iconic blood red Horns that created a minor blood shield around it's body for a short time.

But... This, This is the first time I've seen such animals!...

'Perhaps if we could catch such an exquisite creature...Shev is not here yet, I can't take the two of them...their aura fluctuations, made it clear that they're already at the second circle of evolution and then there's the female Orc... with those looks...no no I must stall for time!'.

"No use panicking, we can only buy some time, where's Eva... you speak Orcish, ask them what they want!" I ordered for Eva and sent a secret signal to Shev but before Eva could even speak, the bigger orc suddenly charged with a thundering roar that shook my ear drums, the one that looked like the leader wasn't far behind.

Immediately, I was filled with dread and I seemed to have been thrown into an Icy pool. Quickly, I suppressed the feeling with my body's Mana, by sending minute fluctuations from my head to toe but, the lingering fear remained.

I traced the source of this fear while unsheathing my sword, and that was when I locked eyes with it. Wild Black hair with a Body of green, at some point, he had unmounted his Wolf and was charging at me.

I quickly picked up the continuous cross bow by my side with confidence in my enchanted bolts, I fired the first shot and it only bent it's body slightly after it's initial surprise.

The screams of my men Echoed around but I couldn't be bothered right now, some how I knew that, if I looked away for one second...

I'm dead.

Although I wasn't used to frontal battles, it didn't mean I was weak either...

Fui fui fui

All three shots were dodged but it still left layers of ice on it's body and he finally noticed, I only have two more shots and I am confident that I will make this Shot... that was what I thought as I pushed Mana into the cross bow.

Vhum!

Those were the next sounds I heard as the Orc blocked the first shot with his axe and caught the other with his hands. with a smile on my face I dropped the cross bow and picked up my sword.

'He actually caught it...' I couldn't help laughing in my mind as I watched the frost energy spread across his hand.

But then, it did something that wiped the smile off my face... a green looking flame burnt away the frost within seconds and he said to me in our human tongue, "Is that it?".

One of my men tried to perform a sneak attack but was soon attacked by the Orc's wolf from behind, soon the sound of bones cracking came and the poor lad's voice disappeared.

'would that be my fate?'.

The suppressed feeling came again, in an even stronger force, as it had been like a constant struggle. But then, how could I give up without even trying?...I can't lose here...

With that thought I dashed forward with light steps, 'I had become too comfortable with Shev around, that I always forget how it had always been at the beginning!'.

But...

When I was but 10 meters away, it charged at me with an abnormal burst of speed and I quickly pushed my Mana while implementing <Shadow counter>. He ran through me without any damage and I appeared behind him, ready to unleash an attack.

It's unfortunate that Shadow counter has a short usage time and had to be timed for it to work well. It was a rare skill that I had been born with even before my first evolution but despite that, it had a huge toll on the body and I could only use it for a limited number of times.

As I tried to stab him from behind, he suddenly flung his axe backwards and the earth beneath us cracked along with his movement, drawing a semi circle on the ground, luckily I used shadow counter again on reflex and barely dodged the attack.

Without wasting anytime, I stabbed as soon as I appeared but he turned his heel and I was hit with the back of his hand, before I could recover, he tried to grab me, but I quickly retreated. This didn't stop him for long, as he followed up with a vertical swing, forcing me to use shadow counter once again.

Unfortunately he was prepared, as soon as my body became visible, I was hit with the b.u.t.t of his battle axe and He said, " Do you think I'm stupid?".

'I know your not stupid, but this was the shortcoming of this so Called rare skill' I thought of this while wiping the blood from my mouth, 'Great, my nose is bleeding too and my head...No Escape!'.

I quickly looked around for an escape route and the monster said to me, "You could try".

A sadistic grin was on his face and it was then I noticed that I was already surrounded,

'He never took me seriously!, why is it so different from other Orcs...wait! He hasn't killed me yet, Perhaps I could strike a deal with it, luckily it speaks Skaldish'.(A/N: human language)

"What do I call you?" I asked but instead he says, "Tell me about this Shev".

Torug's POV,

I watched Moz tie Call up with high proficiency and couldn't help being amazed, I looked at the unconscious Brogg within one of the ruined houses and shook my head.

Alpha laid on the floor while I rested on his side, "Moz be quick, we have a 'Shev' to catch".

"Brother, can we trust the words of that human?" Urim asked while eying his great sword weirdly.

'I need to change that weapon for him and give it to someone that would appreciate the size, it's too small for him'.

'I noticed, majority of the time, he was using fist and kicks... but, I enjoyed that fight...I wonder what 'Shev' would offer'.

Although I was having this thoughts, my mind was thinking about what I had sent Janetta to do, 'perhaps I could use this 'Shev' guy'

I thought of that while eyeing the 'brand' skill on my interface.

"Okay, hide him next to Brogg... We'll wait for 'Shev' ". I say as I watched the other wolves feed on the human corpses, for some reason, I felt indifferent to the whole thing and thought of how I usually used the meat grinder and the like to get rid of evidence...

'can it count as the same?'

Urim was watching the scene as well and couldn't help asking, "would we really be able to make more wolves if the spider woman succeeds?".

"Again! yes! Urim...if she succeeds, although she is taking longer than expected" I answered while rolling my eyes at him, I wasn't bothered with Moz's presence, as she has seen us act like this more than once.

"He's here" Moz says rather casually, as an oppressive aura approached with full speed.
