121 Big Brain Little Brain Part 3 (2/2)
Krug didn't cower as he fell towards the rock worm's mouth he flipped himself upright in the air and swung his axe downward at the rock worm's face. The axe burst with a splendid light that froze the rock worm's head. The rock worm reeled back in its head as it tried to get the ice off Krug was happy at that sight, but the rock worm didn't let Krug off easy just because its head was frozen. It knew Krug location, so it swung its tail at him sending him flying a long distance away.
Krug spun in the air like a football he had no control over his body. The spinning made him disoriented and nauseous when Krug came crashing down Krug hit a tree and nearly split it in half. As Krug laid on the floor he found it a bit difficult to get up three of his ribs were broken and the rock worm almost broke his left arm.
Krug's ribs didn't puncture anything, but he still coughed up some blood because he was bleeding internally from somewhere inside his body. To treat his injurys Krug took out a purple leaf from his pouch called a rot leaf and ate one. The rot leaf is not a naturally found plant it can only be made inside of a lab. Once someone eats the leaf the person goes though a weak zombification process. It slows down the rate of blood loss and numbs pain inside of a persons body, but at a cost the user's body will increasingly rot away faster until they take an antidote.
Krug has used many healing potions before, so much that now healing potions have no more effect on him. Unless he uses a higher grade healing potions like the ones Desmond has in his possession Krug is forced to use other methods. Many people suffer from the same problem especially those of a higher rank than Krug.
Once the leaf melted inside of Krug's body he could feel it taking effect, but he needed a few minutes for the effect of the leaf to spread every were, so he had to wait. At least Krug didn't have to weight alone. He had many corpse keeping him company keeping him company.
As Krug looked around he saw many skeletons and rusty weapons littered all around him. Lizard men, orc, human, beastmen, and more were all there. Where Krug got launched wasn't any kind of animals den it was just another forgot battle field. People fight and die in clover forest all the time finding places like these were nothing special.
Krug only gave the place a quick once over before turning his attention to the rumbleing sound in the distance. The rock worm was coming for him and Krug knew it.
”look like were not to late that dumb or actually managed to keep the rock worm above ground for, so long”.
Krug's attention was attracted to who produced that voice. Once he turned around he saw 3 figures standinga distance behind him.
”Soft skins”
Soft skins is what Krug called humans Krug never had much time to learn big fancy words. So most of the time he kept things practical and called things how they were instead of what they were.
Krug didn't have any love or hatred for humans he traded and fought them with them equally. Krug had a feeling that the humans didn't want to trade, so that left 1 option. But Krug was at a severe disadvantage the rock worm was coming and he had to face 3 humans without his axe. He had lost his axe when the rock worm sent him flying along with most of his arrows leaving him with only 10 arrows. Krug still had his trusty shotgun, but he wasn't sure if that was enough.
As Krug geared up for an even bigger fight then before a rusty longsword that was imbeded the rib cage of a dead dwarf a few feet away let out a soft cheerful shimmer.
