Second World

Chapter 1418 1418. Blind Rage

Jack was still in the underground chamber fighting the Raretooth tribe. He summoned Therras, his spirit weapon, and his ten golden wolves.

He easily killed the lower-ranked orcs of the tribe. When he saw a higher rank, he incapacitated them and then bound them using runic ropes. He didnʼt have that many runic ropes to capture every orc here so he chose those with higher ranks. These orcs might have valuable information, so he tried to capture as many of them as possible. Otherwise, he would have just obliterated them with Perpetual Lightning Judgement or Lightning God Barrage.

Jack remained near the secret exit to stop anyone from using the exit, while Therras went to the stairs to stop the orcs from running up to the village hall. His golden wolves and spirit weapon dove into the enemiesʼ midst and caused disturbance so they couldnʼt adopt proper formation.

Therras took some time to arrive at the stairs. During that time, some orcs had fled upstairs. Jack wasnʼt concerned too much about that. The village was surrounded, even if they fled upstairs, they would still not escape Four Windsʼ troops.

  Unfortunately, Jack saw the highest-ranked orc, Nadra, flee through the stairs. That orc probably knew he was not Jackʼs opponent, so he immediately fled once he sicced his subordinates on Jack. Jack saw the coward leave but he couldnʼt leave his post. He needed to stay and guard the secret exit.

ʼNever mind, Four Winds will deal with him,ʼ Jack thought.

Up there in the village, Hans was fighting ferociously. Once he drew blood, he only saw red. All the grief and anger for losing his son came to the surface. He had been unable to do anything all this time. Now, he was letting it all out.

His weapon of choice was a glaive. One with a large blade that made it look almost like an executioner axe more than a glaive.

Although he was just an elite grade, his level 65 was high enough against the average level of the enemy soldiers in this village. The enemies also mostly consisted of basic and elite grades.

Hans was a hybrid combatant like Lindsey where he could use battle skills and magic spells. He had Ki Weapon and cast Wind Enchantment on his glaive. The wind enchantment increased his weaponʼs sharpness and added Bleed probability on every attack.

He also cast Giant Strength, increasing his power. He was maximizing his damage power so he could kill the enemies faster.

He slayed one orc after another. He targeted the ones who were already wounded by Cipher Flight members. Some of these members were pissed since Hans was not in their party. Hans was also not under Four Windsʼ command so the exp points he reaped were not shared with them.

ʼThis native gets no exp from the kill. Why the heck is he so passionate about kill-stealing?ʼ These Cipher Flight members thought.

They didnʼt dare do anything to Hans, though. They knew Hans was Jackʼs friend, who was their guild leaderʼs good friend. So, they just bore with it and tried to move away from this insane native. The further the better.

As a result, fewer and fewer allies were in Hansʼ vicinity. Hans was so into the battle that he didnʼt pay attention to his surroundings.

He just killed and killed. He was shouting like a madman most of the time.𝑵𝑶𝗏𝚎𝗅𝓤𝐬𝕓.𝕔𝑶𝓂

”Die! Die! Die, you filthy orcs…!!”

He was about to claim another victim when his glaive was stopped by a strong hand. He looked over and realized the one who stopped him was an ally. Yet, it was an ally who he also had the desire to kill.

”What are you doing? Have you shown your true nature? You want to betray us, donʼt you?!” Hans yelled.

”You, madman! Look at the ones you are about to kill!” Umeza scolded back.

Hans looked over and was horrified when he noticed the ones before his glaive. It was a level 1 orc woman who was cowering on the ground holding her baby. Her face showed a terrified expression as she stared at Hans.

”I… How…?” Hans didnʼt understand. He truly didnʼt notice the woman with her baby. He thought he was attacking the enemy soldiers.

”Look out!” Umeza rushed behind Hans just as a strong explosion shook the place.

Hans fell from the shockwave. He was now on the ground next to the terrified woman. He saw Umeza who stood at the place where the explosion had happened. From how strong the explosion was, he knew that he would die if he was hit directly by it. He was just an elite grade who didnʼt have too much HP. Umeza had rushed ahead and used his body to receive the attack, so the AOE of the attack didnʼt reach either him or the woman.

”You… Why…?” Hans stammered.

”Hmph. Protect that woman and her baby,” Umeza said.

Umezaʼs skin was glittering. It was the effect of his diamond body which he activated before blocking the explosive attack. He looked back at the one who sent the attack. It was Nadra who had escaped from the underground chamber.

”Elder Umeza, why do you help that human? They are our enemies! Our leader is right, the orcs who hold the power in this nation have all turned into traitors. You are now colluding with the humans. Have you forgotten how our nation suffered because of them? How many orcsʼ lives were lost because of these humans?!”

”Itʼs funny hearing a traitor call someone else traitor,” Umeza said. ”You must be in dire need of a bashing to knock some sense into you.”

”Elder Umeza, you are a hero to many of us young warriors. You fought the humans the longest. The number of humans killed by you is uncountable. Why are you turning your back on us now? Join us! Our leader, the great Abasi Raretooth, will return the glory of orcs to this nation. He will bring Verremor back to the great nation as it should be.”

”Pah!” Umeza spat. ”From what I hear, your great leader is now the dog of Liguritudum. All he did was use this cowardly scheme to cause a dispute between our nation and our ally. He is not worthy to be called a Verremor warrior. He has no honor…!!”

”How dare you besmirch our great leaderʼs honor!” Nadra bellowed.

”F*ck you!” Umeza cussed and sent a punch into Nadraʼs face.
