Chapter 305 - Thunder Bluff Chieftain: Orgar (1/2)
”Hmm?”
Shadow gave a glance below his eye level and saw that there was a message from Chakram warning them of incoming danger.
”You guys saw it too, right? We don't have the luxury of getting held up here, so use everything you have to increase your mount's speed!” said Shadow as he turned to his companions.
The others nodded as they also saw the message from Chakram. Every one of them quickly took out items from their [Storage] space and quickly used them.
Cereal Killer took out a scroll and hastily tore it in half as a burst of light appeared and turned into a vast halo of green light encompassing their group appeared and surrounded them, which quickly increased their speed, startling those Wolf Cavalry behind them who was just about to catch up to them, and there was even one of them who was riding on the front who was already prepared to hack his humongous axe at Shadow's back.
While Solitary Tempest just continued shooting her arrows filled with elemental energy towards the remaining Grey Orcs riding in their wolves, as those Grey Ocs running on their two feet had already stopped due to exhaustion and slowly went back to their tribe, leaving only the persistent Wolf Cavalry who is still pursuing them, hot on their heels.
And Storm Moonlight who is riding beside Cereal Killer and in front of Shadow and Solitary Tempest took out something which puzzled the three who saw the crystal in the shape of dodecahedron on her hand.
”What the heck is that?” Cereal Killer couldn't help but ask in curiosity.
”It's a mana crystal bomb” Storm Moonlight replied as she threw it behind them towards the Wolf Cavalry, and one of the Grey Orc riding on the front subconsciously caught it on his hand and looked at confusingly.
”Raa?”
BOOM!
That Grey Orc was just about to bring it up to his nose and smell it when it suddenly emitted a weak to a blinding light before it exploded on his face and the surrounding five meters, killing most of the orcs inside the blast radius and injuring those who just outside of it, especially the wolves as they tumbled on the ground which caused a chain reaction as those riding behind them crash onto them and fell.
The scene was like those car chase scenes in the movies where the police always crash and burn from either chasing after the protagonist or the antagonist.
The quick-witted ones quickly maneuvered around the ”crash site” and continued chasing after Shadow and the rest, while some of the orcs stopped and jumped down from their mounts and helped the wounded.
”Holy moly! That's awesome!” Cereal Killer exclaimed in amazement while Shadow's eyes quickly glittered with interest, and quickly made plans to ask Storm Moonlight later from where she had gotten a Man Crystal Bomb, as he is also interested in having one or two of it.
ROAR!
Just as the group was almost at the exit, a shockingly powerful roar full of anger resounded throughout the entire gorge, they even saw that the tall trees around them trembled because of it, with numerous leaves falling off to the ground.
They were just a couple of hundred meters away from reaching the exit when Shadow's and Cereal Killer's mount slowly stopped in their tracks and started trembling in fear.
”F*ck! Go ahead of us! Leave!” Shadow had a change of expression when his mount came to a quick halt because of the overwhelming fear that the roar brought to their mounts.
Solitary Tempest and Storm Moonlight only gave them a quick glance and didn't even hesitate to leave them to their circ.u.mstances knowing that Shadow and Cereal Killer can take care of themselves.
And even if they do die, then they would just lose fifty percent of their experience bar or a level, but the most important thing is that at least one of them should be able to leave through the gorge's exit and enter the dense forest behind the exit, where they would certainly be able to maneuver around the forest and avoid the pursuing orcs.
Where the others would be able to directly resurrect on the location of their surviving companion by sacrificing a level.
On the other hand, Shadow has also gambled on the fact that the Grey Orcs surely wouldn't cause a huge ruckus in the forest as there certainly would be monsters stronger than them living in the forest, right?
So everything that they have been doing until now has mostly depended on sheer luck.
Shadow and Cereal Killer dismounted from their mounts and unsummoned them back, while the Wolf Cavalry didn't quickly charge forward to kill them and instead surrounded the two as the resounding sound of thumping on the ground echoed behind the Wolf Cavalry as a huge shadow is slowly making his way over towards their direction.
The two of them stood back to back to each other, and Shadow opened his mouth and said, ”Hey, you ready?”
Cereal Killer slightly turned his head and said with an annoyed tone, ”If you're planning to do something, then just do it!”
”Of course, but let's wait for the main dish to arrive!” he sent Cereal Killer a private message so that the Grey Orcs surrounding them doesn't hear the conversation between the two of them and would only see them with their tense looks on their faces.
”Humans, how dare you lot trespass into our lands!?” said the biggest Grey Orc among them, and behind him is a huge bastard sword with a width of at least a foot long and with a length of more or less two meters.
Like the others, his body is also covered in varying shapes of tattoo.and probably the leader of the Wolf Cavalry or someone with status in their tribe.
Both Shadow and Cereal Killer just rolled their eyes and took a quick glance to the side where they finally got a clear look at the behemoth.
