Chapter 232: Beg for mercy (1/2)

While the girls busied themselves in setting the other poor, ill-fated slaves free, Aiden left the building and was on his way to leave the premises and get back to the shaman once again, hopefully gaining at least some answers to the million questions that kept screaming inside his mind.

Already expecting some sort of resistance from the guards, Aiden wasn't too surprised when he was stopped by the tips of the pike aimed at his throat from both guards.

”[Goblin] What happened inside? Something was extra loud?” The guard closest, the left one asked the question with a not-too-bad goblin dialect, meanwhile, he started poking his pike at him.

Even though he expected some questioning, having weapons aimed at him didn't sit too well with Aiden's already agitated mindset.

Instead of answering, his eyes flared up, his glowing golden eyes were fixated on the guard.

”[Goblin] You sure you want to anger me, orc?” Aiden's tone was cold, gradually turning lower toned as he continued to speak. A heavy presence, an unbearable aura unfolded from his body, giving immense weight and pressure to the elite warriors of the Mountain Orcs.

Still, despite the incredible pressure suddenly descending on them, or the strange behavior of the small goblin in front of them, these warriors were considered elites of their tribe! They wouldn't just crumble immediately.

The guard continued to poke at the goblin, but unlike before he began putting some minimal strength behind his small thrusts aiming to pierce the little fellow's skin.

”[Goblin] Answer me, goblin! What happened! What did you do?” He continued his interrogation, his tone was harsh, cold, unfriendly. He looked at this long, black-haired goblin as one would look at his enemy.

While he aimed several questions to the little guy, his partner began to move closer, trying to stay out of sight and get behind Aiden.

Whilst he was doing a splendid job keeping on the down-low, there was no chance of surprising Aiden who was aided with the system's map. Waiting until the second orc got in position, his lips turned into a cruel, nasty grin, as he began to speak.

His voice was no longer familiar to the orcs, it was very low-pitched, similar to some very ancient monster's, and not something that should be available to a small, fragile little goblin as the guy in front of them.

”[Goblin] I'm going to give to the both of you one last chance. First, the snake behind me comes forward. Second, you both get on your knees and apologize for offending me. This is your only chance at survival.”

Startled by his words, the orc in the front, subconsciously turned to look at the orc positioned behind the goblin. As if they exchanged complete sentences in a manner of seconds, they both nodded, before returning their attention to the frail dark green-skinned goblin in front of them.

Tightening their grip on their weapons, both of them began to slowly cock their arms slightly backward, looking at the goblin in front of them as just a slab of meat.

”[Goblin] Are you threatening us, goblin?” The orc in front spoke in a cold tone looking at the much smaller guy with a condescending look.

Seeing the looks he was given, Aiden clicked his tongue while shaking his head.

”[Goblin] Looks like until I show you that I am not your average goblin, your pig heads will not understand the danger you are both found yourselves in… Allow me to demonstrate…”

With his last words, his figure suddenly began to flicker and vanish in the next instant, only to reappear a few steps closer to the shed, just a step behind the sneaking orc, that was ready to thrust his pike forward and backstab the little guy just a moment ago.

Not sure of what has happened, the orc was confused about where his target suddenly went. Looking up, he looked at his frontal partner who had a horrified expression, pointing fervently behind him.
