Even ast humans, only priests or nuns with deep divine poere able to receive divinethat the simple and ale
“A divine e from the God of battle, Maal?”
“Yes Maal appeared to me because he pitied our Tribe He personally delivered hisas I am”
“And as Maal’s e?”
“Lord Maal views us with favor, as we are the only Orc Tribe to worshi+p him”
Luke nodded his head
“That seems reasonable Humans also worshi+p Maal, but Maal would definitely view the simple and honest Orcs with favor compared to humans”
“Sonore it The great Maal pitied us enough to gift us with a divine object, imbued with his authority”
“Divine object? What artifact is that?”
Kurotan frowned, seely new to the word ‘artifact’
“Artifact? What is that word? The cursed huue is difficult”
“Divine object, artifact, they are the sa Don’t think about it too hard”
“Maal told us to become humans in order to continue our faith The divine object turns us into humans”
Kurotan’s secret struck Luke like lightning
“O-Orcs into humans?”
“Yes This is the ‘artifact’”
Kurotan revealed an old-fashi+oned sword It only had a handle, without a blade, see use Luke looked at it with skeptical eyes
‘How the hell would an Orc turn into a human?’
Luke shook off his surprise and asked
“How does this divine object turn Orcs into humans, Kurotan?”
“Simple”
Kurotan gripped the broken sword in his right hand and screamed
“Kueeek, come in!”
A little while later, three well-muscled Orcs entered the cabin
“damn, the smell”
The Orcs were a race that distanced theinable, and Luke couldn’t help but frown
Kurotan ignored him and spoke to one of the Orcs that had entered
“Have you prepared yourself, Kalgor?”
“Kooooek, I have By the will of Maal”
“So be it I will commence the ritual”
Kurotan gripped the sword, and froht suddenly sprouted
Paaahht
The gleaht of the transparent blade was hypnotic
The next asp in surprise
“Kehup! What have you done?”
It was because Kurotan had stabbed the Orc called Kalgor with the blade It was the left chest, exactly where the heart was
Poook
The blade was sure to have penetrated his heart, but not a drop of blood fell
Kalgor’s eyes went dark, and the Orc dropped on the spot
Luke could not believe his eyes Kurotan had retrieved the blade, but Kalgor’s chest did not have any sort of wound
“H-He died”
With the wave of his hand, Kurotan disor’s corpse
“Wh-Why did you just kill your subordinate in front of me?”
“Kill? It’s because you don’t see yet Look carefully”
Kurotan shoved the shi+ning blade in front of Luke’s face Luke could see a s blade
“It is the soul of Kalgor that I just took The divine object removed his soul from his body”
“T-took out the soul?”
“Yes Kalgor’s body will rot aithout the soul However, Kalgor is not dead The power of Maal keeps his soul safe in the divine object and will revive him”
Luke shi+vered at the unbelievable truth
“Hoill you revive Kalgor?”
“Simple I will pick a huor’s soul will then enter the body and be revived”
Luke’s pale face turned even whiter
