25 Chapter 24 (1/2)

As the pig-faced orcs dragged me off into the forest, I cursed my mind-bogglingly awful luck. Although luck didn't appear to be a stat with a tangible number, if it existed, mine had to be low. Why the hell would the orcs attack the carriage now? The sight of the thieves cut up on the ground was certainly disturbing. At least one of them I remembered sleeping with before, and except Denova, there was no other former lover I really wanted to see die. This world was simply too brutal and savage for me.

One of the orcs had tossed me over his shoulder, and the three of them were now sprinting through the forest. They were remarkably fast, able to run at a speed close to a horse at full gallop, even through the densely packed foliage all around us. I wanted to put up a fight, but right now the only thing I could do is Pheromone. That would turn them feral, and with me in one of their hands, I didn't see myself getting out of it without being hurt.

Of course, that left Seduction and Eye of the Beholder… I could make them attracted to me, then possibly knock them out with Rock a Bye. Seduction still scared me, the effect on people had backfired a lot recently. And Eye of the Beholder… likely contributed to Dox being killed. Seductress powers were too dangerous when I tossed them around willy nilly. As these thoughts ran through my mind, I decided to check on the orcs with my Examine.

I blinked when I read through the information. Are those even names? This is completely different from when I examine humans. That means monsters are different from humans. No class, just a species… which appears to be pigman, or more specifically pigman warrior. I guess that means race and class were not distinguished in monsters? Is pigman like a second-tier orc, or are they not orcs at all? I mean, the LOTR orcs are still something that might exist in this world. I'm still going to call them orcs for now.

They're also really young… but they've killed and raped before. At over six feet tall, they were not child orcs despite their age. I don't know if those kill stats mean humans or just things in general. If they're killing another pigman, I couldn't care less. Same with rapes. Given how this world has been so far, I feared those rapes were humans, and those kills probably included those rapes. They're surprisingly high levels also explained how they were able to destroy my escort of thieves. I only had the one bandit defending me.

If this went like every other encounter I've had so far, then **** and murder were the only future these orcs or pigman or whatever had planned for me. Which meant, as a seductress, I had only one choice; I had to go on the offensive. The orcs ran on with me bumping along one of their shoulders, Grg as it turned out, until the point that my hips were rather sore. This wasn't exactly princess carry, so the run wasn't without its discomfort.

I worked on a plan in my head. The first thing I did was change beautification to orc. Then I started targeting them with Eye of the Beholder. I spaced myself out, using it only once every five minutes. All the levels I recently gained had not only brought increases to my stamina, but also my stamina regen, so at this rate, I didn't find myself getting tired. I held off striking them with seduction. It used a bit more stamina, and I was afraid that using it might cause one of them to try to take me now, thus inducing a scurry. They ran for quite some time, and the sun was already starting to set by the time they finally stopped. I had the time to put Eye of the Beholder on each pigman at least 5 times. By now, I should be looking very fuckable… if that was something they didn't see me as before.

As night fell, they ended up bringing me into an abandoned looking barn. I didn't know if they had murdered the previous humans who had lived here. There was a pile of bloodied animal carcasses in the corner rotting. It was not a pleasant smell, so I tried not to look at it. No, I couldn't think of how disgusting this was. With Mental Fortitude, I could fuck on top of that pile of corpses and not be too bothered by it, but my body at least had the good sense enough to feel disgusted even if my mind was broken.
