The tone of the voice was husky and aged, but it held a lot of power.
Looking towards the cages, an old and thin orc was seen taking its last breaths. He looked very close to death, but the glint in his eyes was still alive and hopeful.
"Who are you?" He muttered under his breath, but he had no hope that the other side would hear.
But to his surprise, the old orc heard.
"Human… Don't kill… Pull… out of place…" His words echoed directly in Liu Yang's mind, but they were just broken parts, which weren't hard to understand.
"I see… I shouldn't kill the orcs, and I just need to rip the Standard of Fury out of place to break it… But how am I going to get close enough to rip this thing off without being affected by the effects?"
"..."
After some time of thinking, the only solution found was the Hunter Drive. Other than that item, Liu Yang had nothing else in his possession that could help withstand the effects of the Standard of Fury.
Without having time to think, the sword-shaped dagger slashed his wrists to absorb the blood.
…
A day later…
The blood glass in the dagger was completely full, but he needed to rest to replace the lost blood.
So, another day has passed.
The Hunters were slowly approaching the location where Liu Yang was, but they were still a long way off.
For many orcs were still enraged because of the Standard of Fury, whenever one was slain another would appear to attack.
The loss suffered by both sides can be considered too heavy, but some Hunters were happy because they could level up quickly. Thus, the weakest were those who died the most, the strongest continued to survive.
"Henshin" Hunter Drive's armor covered his body, dramatically increasing his combat power.
"I hope this works..." He muttered before jumping out of the tree.
STOMP!!!!!!
The foot stomped so hard on the ground that a small crater was created.
WHOOSH!!!!
Liu Yang's body shot up like a rocket at full speed. Only a blur was seen.
In just one step, he entered the Standard of Fury's area of effect.
The effects of energy waves started to hit his mind so he went into rage mode, but it became more bearable after using Hunter Drive.
"ARGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The burly, muscular orcs let out savage roars before swinging heavy weapons like axes and swords. Some orcs also cast elemental spells to attack Liu Yang.
PANG!!!!! PANG!!!!
CRACK!!!!! CRACK!!!!
PANG!!!! PANG!!!!
Liu Yang couldn't kill the orcs, so he punched the weapons using his steel fist.
The force was so great that it broke the weapons.
PANG!!! PANG!!!!
Without giving them time to react, he punched their stomachs so that they passed out on the floor.
The quick, accurate blows cause the orcs to fall one after the other.
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
Elemental spells explode in armor but do no damage, just slight dizziness from being thrown around during explosions.
STOMP!!!! STOMP!!!!!
Liu Yang didn't let the shamans continue casting the next spells and charged toward them, but it wasn't easy.
Orc archers pull their bows hard to shoot arrows towards his head. Tamed creatures also attack fiercely along with archers.
The creatures were werewolves, boars, and crocodiles, but they were all in a state of rage because of the Standard of Fury.
Not killing targets was difficult, much more so than just knocking them out because you had to hold back to not kill.
But for Liu Yang, it was not difficult. He was already used to using his power with the Hunter Drive, so it was easy to know how much power it took to knock out someone with similar levels.
Wherever he passed, the orcs fell to the ground in a faint along with the creatures.
"..." The shifting sensation in his mind grew stronger as he approached the Standard of Fury.
The closer the being gets, the greater the effects.
Liu Yang backed away to a safe distance before taking a deep breath.
The distance between the two was fifty meters.
STOMP!!!!! STOMP!!!! STOMP!!!!
Stepping hard on the ground, his body received a huge thrust towards the Standard of Fury.
The hand was raised in an attempt to grab and pull the standard from the spot.
Upon entering the nearest area again, his mind blurred and everything turned red. Great anger was felt in his heart during the race, but he didn't stop because his legs were already in the air.
The raised arm went low, but the body kept flying towards the Standard of Fury.
PANG!!!!
The two sides collided, but the Standard of Fury only shook and was not uprooted.
PANG!!!!
Liu Yang regained consciousness in that short time and attacked again to try to break the item.
Whenever something hit the Standard of Fury, the energy waves would stop emanating and the rage state would be canceled for a few moments before returning.
PANG!!! PANG!!!
Liu Yang punched very hard, but nothing happened.
Time was so short that he couldn't even muster up enough energy to attack.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
CRACK!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
CRACK!!!
Suddenly, two spells explode on the banner.
Looking towards where it came from it was possible to see two orc shamans talking about some strange things and colored magic circles glowing in front of them.
BOOOOOM!!!! BOOOOM!!!
As the spells explode in the Standard of Fury, the item cracks, but it still couldn't break.
The Hunter Drive's time was up and Liu Yang returned to normal, but the banner's effects increased so many times that the mind went wild.
The two glowing red eyes showed his madness.
Liu Yang drew his sword and prepared to kill the unconscious orcs on the ground.
Fortunately, the shamans managed to blow up the Standard of Fury before he cut off one of their heads.
The blade of the sword just skimmed through the skin and red blood oozed out.
His body fell to the ground in shock as it was the most sinister thing he had ever felt.
The instant the Standard of Fury was broken, the effects ended almost instantly.
crack… crack…
The cages were broken and the orcs were released.
The group walked over to their unconscious companions to see if they were okay or not. After a brief check, they finally sighed in relief.
"Human, we thank you for saving us and our companions' lives." The old shaman spoke in a grateful tone.
The others also bowed to Liu Yang.
"I was just passing by. But there are a few things I would like to ask you."
"Human, we can answer any questions that are within our knowledge."
"In the orc world is there any other race?"
