Chapter 47 - The Fortress [3]

Orcs and bogoblins died in heaps where Alex passed, he had become a shadow that moved among all the monsters that exploded into particles or dropped their bodies to the ground.

Alex stopped in the middle of the place full of the bodies of his victims and the loot they dropped when they died, Alex held his spear with one hand while he positioned himself in a position more comfortable for him.

*Woosh!* Alex threw his spear with full force towards the orcs while he had activated a spear ability.

The orcs could only see a trail of light where the spear flew, the trail of light was caused by the activation of magic in the spear.

The orc with the shield reacted quickly by interposing his shield in the path of the spear as he could feel that his partner was in danger through his ability [Safeguard]. He gathered the scattered mana and then pushed it all over his body and to the core of the shield with the intention of blocking and enduring the attack.

The shield shone a light blue to form another ice shield shortly after the shield, the orc's aura showed his desire to block the attack so much that it made the orc on the injured ground feel he had a mountain in front of him defending him, but without giving him time to continue appreciating it, the spear hit the ice-shield and crossed it as if it were jelly as it pierced the shield and more of it.

"Ghg!" The orc couldn't help letting out a grunt of pain as he had the spear piercing his shoulder, but he didn't feel discouraged about getting hurt because he had managed to protect his partner other than the wound could close in a matter of seconds.

A strong breeze hit the orc's cheek and caused him to turn by reflex to his partner when he felt his ability to release alarm sounds.

The orc pupil dilated when he saw what was behind him, a big beast was on top of his partner, looking better he could see that the beast had destroyed his partner's neck while he had his claws piercing his chest, his face of his partner showed terror and it was the same as he felt when he looked at the beast and felt his aura over him.

The beast turned his gaze towards the orc and thus allowing him to see his purple eyes which showed no feeling, was empty, not anger, not enjoy, not repudiation, nothing.

It is as if the beast were in a state in which it only aims to hunt since it showed no intention of eating his mate.

Before he could react to escape or get away from the beast, complete darkness blocked his sight so shortly after he died without knowing how he died.

The orc's body lifted a lot of dust when it hit the ground without life and without a head, the neck had a completely semicircular clean-cut, gradually began to disintegrate to transform into booty.

<There is no comparison in the comfort I feel right now, I feel complete> Alex stretches his body while cleaning his claws with the grass of the ground.

Alex had used his spear as a distraction to transform into his beast form and by the time the spear hit the orc shield, Alex had already finished transforming himself and had launched himself towards the only unsuspecting orc, once he arrived with him, he assure its death by destroying its throat with his fangs and claws.

He also prepares a sphere of darkness for the orc with the shield, to which Alex threw the sphere towards its face and killed it instantly, shortly after Alex recovered his spear with a movement of his tail with which he kept his spear in his Inventory as always.

<I suppose that by not forcing my transformation I consume much less mana than when I force it> He thought while checking the amount of mana he currently has with other moments.

Alex moved from the place where he was and while moving around the place, he entered in stealth with ease, he dedicated himself to observing the two remaining orcs, since it was the only thing left alive in the place, if Alex had killed two-thirds of the orcs and bogoblins, the orc with the hammer finished Alex's work.

<I guess he has no discrimination since the dungeon will generate more monsters to replace the empty space> In the process of observing the two orcs, Alex collected all the useful loot on the ground, which were only, minerals, some small orbs magic, food pills, and some other weapons.

The remaining two orcs began to wander around the place while throwing an occasional blow into the air with the hope of hitting Alex and take him out of stealth, but every attempt was inefficient since Alex was always away from them, waiting for them to move away from the other.

The orc with the hammer walked to the area of ​​the fort where they had the slave field of bogoblins, which is simply a flat place with growing herbs and many iron stakes with which they chain the bogoblins.

He became Alex's target at the time the orc went to a place with many tall bushes, a perfect place to instantly stealth at any time and to use his second magic element.

While Alex began to accumulate ideas of how to eliminate the orc with the minimum of mana and movements, the orc began to walk through the bushes in the hope of getting Alex out of them, if he was hiding there, but at the moment the Orc press the fifth bush, a black substance shot out of it and held his two legs tightly as it tangled up in them like a vine and when the orc was about to let out a scream with unknown intentions, the same black substance blocked his mouth with a black ball that absorbed any sound he made.

Meanwhile, Alex immobilized the orc, in front of him there was a small red sphere of flame that emanated a strong sensation of danger in the orc.

Alex said goodbye to the orc while releasing his magic.

The fire sphere released a strong projectile that hit the head of the orc when Alex completed the magic, which was the altered version of the fireball, although Alex calls it a [Fire Projectile], there is really no impact since it is fire what he releases, what happens is that his attack disintegrates everything in its path when burned at high temperatures and that is what happened with the orc's head.

<The magic is still OP> Alex looked sideways at the result of his magic and was a little amazed at the result, although it's not something new for him... but it's magic! and Alex likes magic.

A strong smell of cooked pork filled the place when the headless orc's body hit the ground, since it had not turned into loot, this only stimulated Alex's stomach and that of the orc, which did not hesitate to run in the direction of the smell.

Alex was amazed at the speed the orc moved, just to get to his partner's body and start eating it.

The orc's body had been cooked by the temperature of Alex's attack and that caused the strong smell of cooked pork that filled the place, but, although it smelled delicious, Alex refused to try it.

<That thing for sure had not even bathed since he was born, I'm too elegant to try to eat that such a thing> It was Alex's thought when he decided to ignore the smell and go after the other orc, but to his surprise, the orc came running for itself towards his location.

The orc ignored all his surroundings when he only focused on two things, the food he has in front of him and nobody to take it away from him, he completely forgot what situation he was in, but that is no surprise when he has a mediocre compressive capacity of his environment, it may have knowledge in other areas, but it will still be classified as stupid by Alex... its entire race has already been classified as beings that cannot differentiate its index fingers from a sausage.

Alex was amazed by the orc's aptitude to ignoring his surroundings and the situation he is in.

Seeing that he is distracted, Alex decided to eliminate him with a single blow on the neck with his claws, so he approached slowly and made his attack on the orc.

*Clinnck!* Alex's attack was stopped by the mass of iron carried by the orc.

The orc blocked Alex's attack without even seeing him, he simply put his mace in the path of the attack with his right hand while concentrating on holding his food with his other hand.

Alex blinked several times to understand what happened.

<The damn pig moved faster than I could perceive> Alex was perplexed by what happened, he doesn't understand how the damn orc is faster than him, Alex began to wonder if it was just his imagination or really the orc is faster than him, which would mean something very bad for him to be true.

The orc completely ignored Alex as he decided to concentrate again on finishing eating what he had in front of him, which was his top priority, as it would allow him to become stronger because of his racial ability, which requires food, but not just anyone, the stronger the monster has been, the more benefits it will give when eating it and with a small probability of learning a skill from the eaten monster.
