Akash Tagar went with the beastpeople to help them. There were many types of beastmen and beastwomen in the tribe. The woman who talked with Akash earlier was a catwoman.
Akash looked at her and asked. "What's your name?"
She flinched when Akash asked for her name. "It... it's Runa."
Akash turned his head towards the old beastman who came earlier to save Runa. He was a Lionman. "And you?"
The old man bowed in a hurry. "This lowlife's name is Daan Godlyn."
Akash squeezed his eyes and looked at Daan from head to toe. "Do you know that your kind has a tremendous amount of power?"
All of the beastfolk were confused about Akash's statement. Since when we beastpeople, born to be slaves and concubines, are considered as strong species. "Did you think it was possible for a single person to have the ability to destroy a mountain with but one punch before you saw me do it?"
Everyone's eyes widened as they remembered that otherwordly feat. Daan gulped and replied. "No, we didn't, O' Mighty Lord."
"Just call me King." Said Akash.
Daan Godlyn nodded his head. "As you command, O' Mighty Lord King."
Akash palmed his face and sighed. "Just call me 'King', not 'O Mighty' whatever thing. Understood?"
"Yes... yes, my King." Daan zealously nodded.
"Good, now increase the pace I don't have all day here." Ordered the Sage Scholar as he smiled.
Daan Godlyn ordered everyone, and they started to run. Akash Tagar kept pace with them and made sure to not leave them behind.
After a few hours, they saw a village protected by a fortress. This fortress was made of bricks and wood, no cement or any similar substance could be found to binding them, they were joined together by simple thread and ropes.
A mediocre 1 Star tamer could easily demolish this fortress with but a simple kick, however, for normal people who didn't use cosmic powers, it was an impregnable wall. This confirmed that they were still in the 'stone age' era and didn't have any more sophisticated technology at their disposal.
2 things had piqued Akash's curiosity. Firstly, he was wondering whether these people could cultivate to become tamers. And secondly, he was curious on whether any beasts lived here as he hadn't spotted a single one yet.
Akash led his tiny force of a few hundred beastpeople and stood in front of the fortress.
Orcs were an evolved race. There was an ancient myth in the scrolls saying orcs evolved from the elves thanks to serving dark powers.
"Are there elves here as well?" Akash asked another question while looking at the fortress.
Daan Godlyn looked at Akash Tagar in a puzzled way and answered. "What are those, My King?"
Akash raised his eyebrow murmured to himself. "So, the myth was false, they can exist even without elves. I'm starting to doubt my knowledge more and more"
Daan was on the verge of collapsing from tension, he thought Akash was prophesizing an upcoming calamity "M-m-my King, could you please elaborate?"
Akash looked at Daan with a side-eye. "The orcs are not that intelligent but they are loyal to their King, they have strong a physique and have a brutish, aggressive nature."
As Akash was explaining this, an orc appeared at the top of the fort and yelled out. "Why are you all here?"
Akash looked at the orc, bald and naked, with ash black skin. He had long bat type ears and a small nose with two yellow tusks separating his lips and reaching his nose while putrid saliva spilt out from his mouth down to the ground.
Akash looked at him and continued. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you that they are also very ugly."
The orc growled at Akash in anger.
"Go tell your king that Daan Godlyn is here to challenge him!" As Akash said that, everyone was shocked except him.
There was an old beastman near Akash, using a walking cane to support his bent back, who after hearing Akash's words, turned pale as if his soul had left his body. While everyone was frightened, the old man started to laugh instead. "Ha…haha... I should've guessed that you were with them, gathering us here in a trap to kill us all."
Daan looked at Akash with tears in his eyes. "We believed you…"
Akash smiled and tapped his shoulder. "Then keep believing me for a while longer."
Akash Tagar raised his left leg high in the sky and slammed it back down on with everything he had. The ground quaked and all the beastpeople fell on their butts. Soon after, the earth calmed down and everyone was looking at each other, some even puked.
Before long, the land vibrated again and the entire fortress crumbled. The orc, who was previously at the top of the fortress, was now buried under the dross. He quickly tossed away the debris and started to run. He looked behind to see Akash as he ran, however, as soon as he blinked his eyes, Akash was no longer in sight. Terrified, he ran even faster until he collided with a wall and bounced back from the impact.
He shook his head and saw Akash standing in front of him. Akash stomped his head on the ground with his foot before the naked orc could stand. Akash exerted extra pressure on his head as he spoke.
"Go and call your King here unless you want to see what else my foot is capable of."
