*crack*
Pete's heart sank as his stick shattered as soon as it hit the orc. He knew that he was in serious trouble.
"What... how can my stick break so easily"
Morsh thought,
'Damn... that bitch summoned a hero stupider than her.'
'What was he thinking when charging at a monster with a stick?'
Morsh then said,
"Pete you should run now"
Pete didn't listen to Morsh but instead started punching orc's knee,
"I will show you the power of hero you stupid orc"
Morsh was dumbfounded when he heard this,
'He is not showing power but stupidity'
The orc grinned evilly and kicked Pete, and he went flying, hitting a tree with a sickening thud. Pete collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. His vision was blurry, and his head was pounding.
"Ughhh...."
'How did he do that.... I am a hero.... how can a monster injure a hero like me'
A frightful expression can be seen on Pete's face as he struggled to stand,
'I need to run... this is too painful'
Pete was halfway up, just when an orc him again,
"Ughhhh..."
Pete was sent flying to the side couple of meters with coughing blood,
Morsh said,
"Hey, don't struggle, act like you are dead, then the orcs might fight among themselves for your meat"
"That will be a good chance for you to run"
Pete replied with his voice trembling and blood still dripping out from his mouth,
"No, I am a hero.... I will not run from the evil"
Morsh said,
"What evil you are talking about, these monsters are just trying to survive by hunting, just like lions or other carnivores"
"This is the law of the jungle, strong get to survive and weak will always be prey unless they become strong"
Pete then replied in a heroic tone,
"NO, I will save the weak and kill the strong, I AM THE HERO"
Morsh has first time seen someone stupid as Pete,
'Just what was he doing on earth to be this stupid'
An orc grabbed Pete and lifted him high up in the air and then slammed him on the ground ,hard. Pete gasped for breath as he felt the pain shoot through his body
"Arghhh"
Pete's eyes were getting blurry as he saw orcs coming toward him,
'Am I going to die here'
Pete then lost consciousness....
Morsh said,
"Damn this stupid bastard couldn't even run"
The three orcs surrounded unconscious Pete,
Suddenly a black aura started covering Pete's body,
Orcs took several steps back when they saw black aura and felt it's omnious energy,
"The unconscious body's eyes opened and the body stood up with lightning speed"
Morsh was surprised when he saw the darkness covering the body but soon, he started feeling pain in whole body as he was beaten badly,
But he realized soon that he was controlling the body now,
"So, I take over the body when Pete loses consciousness"
Morsh checked his body,
"I guess he is shorter than I was, his muscles are also thinner... "
"He is in a sorry state"
Morsh raised his hand and said,
"Heal"
A green light appeared form thin air and engulfed his body and the injuries started healing,
"Magic is pretty useful, well it's all thanks to that bitch I was able to learn magic and am a grand sage, but I don't have enough mana to use high level spells"
The wounds healed almost 20% enough for stopping the blood,
"I guess I can only do this much "
Morsh then looked at the orcs and said,
"I guess you are my gunnie pig for testing my techniques"
Morsh then picked a stone off the ground,
"I have used more than half of my mana to heal, so I guess I will not use magic on you guys"
Morsh then infused the stone with some of his mana and threw it toward the orc in the center,
"Let's see If I can kill you with this stone or not"
The stone pierced the head of the orc and struck a tree a few meters away, killing the orc instantly.,
The orc's body simply fell on the ground,
"That's not impressive at all"
Morsh then picked another stone and infused it with the mana again,
"I will test a technique now... so be good boys and don't move"
The two remaining orcs were afraid when they saw the orc being killed by a stone and looked at each other,
Morsh thought,
'Which technique should I use.... '
Morsh then said inwardly,
'Strengthen legs'
A golden light covered the legs of Morsh,
"Hmmm... so I don't need to shout like an idiot to use a technique or magic spell"
Morsh then ran and stopped to the side of the orcs from where they were in a line,
"I have to end the experiment now"
'Swirling stone'
Morsh threw the stone with saying these words inwardly,
The stone then covered with a little whirlwind and flew even more faster,
Stone pierced the first orc's head then within a second pierced the second orc's head and then crumbled to dust,
The orcs then fell consecutively on the ground,
Morsh simply nodded,
"I ran out of mana just with this"
Morsh then remembered about Pete,
'Did he saw everything... well it is easy to fool him... so I guess it's okay'
"Hey Pete, you there"
No one replied,
"Is he unconscious???"
"I will have to ask about it when I could talk to him"
"I should head to the river now"
Morsh then walked toward the sound of the river and said,
"He ran quite far with an arrow stuck in his thigh"
Morsh saw some strange and beautiful birds, insects and other creatures on his way to the river,
After an hour or so the sound of the river became loud,
"Hmmm... I guess the river is close"
In couple of minutes, he reached a small river,
"Now I should go downstream... If I am lucky, I will find a village or a city soon"
Morsh looked around and saw a wooden spoon on the side of the river,
Morsh picked the spoon up,
"Hmm... this is man-made.... there must be a village or city upstream"
"Looks like I have to go upstream "
Morsh then started walking upstream of the river,
"I am getting hungry now... It will be evening soon..."
"Should I find a shelter and try to make fire or head upstream in night too"
Morsh thought for a moment,
'If I find a shelter and try to make a fire now, it will take a lot of energy '
"So, I guess I will keep walking until I find an establishment"
Morsh was walking on the side of the river and soon the evening arrived,
"I was walking nonstop from afternoon and still I didn't feel that much tired"
"I guess that bitch did some upgrades to the body"
Soon night fell but it was still visible to some extent with moon light,
Morsh looked up to the sky and saw three moons, the small one was white and the medium one was green and the big one was blue,
"This is another world I guess"
Morsh's said inwardly,
'Night vision'
His eyes shone with golden light, and he can see more clearly now,
"Still lacking mana.... "
After some hours It was midnight, and the sound of the monsters could be heard,
"It will be dangerous if wolfs or lion attacked me now"
Morsh paced up a little bit,
After couple of more hours, he saw a line which looked like a road, but he couldn't see clearly because it's still night,
"Is that a road, I hope that's a road"
Morsh sped up and soon reached the road,
It was not a paved road but was a dirt track, but was clearly used often as there were quite a few tracks,
"Looks like this world is not technologically advanced"
"There are kart's tracks in road and footprints of horses"
"Now which direction should I go"
Morsh thought for a moment,
'Hmmm... well looks like I have to go to random direction"
Morsh than headed left to the tracks,
Soon the morning arrived the sun rose,
"I guess Pete will take over soon, I will pace up a little before he takes over"
Morsh inwardly chanted,
'Strengthen legs'
His legs covered by a golden light and he started running,
"His attitude also changed after I went to the library "
"I guess that bitch told him something "
After about an hour a golden aura started engulfing his whole body,
Morsh stopped and cancelled the spell strengthened legs,
"Well, it's about an hour after sunrise... so I guess sun rose at about 6 AM here"
After some seconds golden aura completely covered his body and Pete took control of the body,
Pete shouted as soon as he opened his eyes,
"Arghhhh..."
"Don't come near me you orcs"
"Huh.... where did the orcs go... And where am I "
Pete looked around in confusion and saw the road,
"I was in front of the orcs just now... why am I suddenly in a dirt road"
"Did the goddess helped me or is this a power of a hero"
Morsh thought as he heard Pete's words,
'So, he didn't saw anything when I took control of the body'
'He was in unconscious state the whole time'
'Is it that if one of us lost consciousness, will wake up the next day'
Morsh then said,
"Hey, don't you remember anything"
Pete took a defensive stance as he heard Morsh's voice,
Morsh said,
"Hey it's me Morsh"
Pete sighed in relief as he remembered Morsh was within his body,
"Oh.. I forgot about you Morsh... I thought the orcs have returned"
"And I don't remember anything... do you know what happened?? "
Morsh thought for a second,
'It's troublesome to explain... so I guess I have to make up a story'
Morsh then said,
"Don't you remember, you defeated the orcs "
Pete was shocked when he heard that he defeated the orcs and said,
"Whaaaat... I defeated those orcs"
Morsh said,
"Yes, you defeated the orcs with stones... I think you are actually a stone hero"
"I guess this is a power of a hero"
When Pete heard this, he puffed his chest and said in a proud tone,
"Hahaha.... I was just teasing you Morsh, Of Course I remember how I defeated those orc bastards"
Morsh was surprised at how easily Pete was fooled,
'I can't even comprehend the dumbness of this guy... well its good for me so I can tolerate it'
Morsh then said,
"Ohh... I thought you actually forgot... I was thinking it was a hero thing that you can't control now"
Pete thought while wearing a smile on his face,
'I don't remember anything... I guess it's a hero's power and I will have to get strong to master it'
Pete then said,
"Hey, you remember how we reached here, it's not that I forgot or anything... I am just asking to check if we are at the right way"
Morsh replied,
"Ohh... I remember everything... you were not replying to me at all when you were defeating orcs, and you ran at this direction after you defeated the orcs"
"You were so fast that I was not able to see where were you going"
Pete then puffed his chest again and said,
"Yeah, I guess you remember everything Morsh..."
Pete then started walking,
Morsh said,
"Hey why are you going back where you came from"
Pete laughed and said,
"Hahaha.... I was just testing you If you remember correctly or not "
Morsh sighed as he thought,
'He didn't ask about the injuries... how can he not realize that he is almost halfway healed"
Pete turned and started walking in the dirt road,
After some time walking a voice came from the side of the road and behind the tree,
"Hey, I guess we found a slave"
