Chapter 9 - Orcish Shaman

Facing the malicious aura emanating from the orc shaman, Kane and the others felt as if their feet were glued, unable to move. Even simple actions like raising their hands became extremely strenuous.It wasn't just them who were affected; even the soldiers on the territory a hundred meters away were in the same predicament. Seizing this opportunity, the goblin army broke through the defensive lines and began slaughtering the humans.Watching their soldiers being killed one after another, powerless to resist, Kane and the others displayed a painful expression in their eyes.Furious, Katherine raised her sword and shouted, "I will kill you, vile orc!"In response, the shaman merely glanced at her indifferently and turned to scold the goblin warriors. Katherine, unable to move her body, helplessly swung her sword through the air."How did I teach you, Abalim? Use your brain; in battle, you must use your brain," the shaman pointed to its head.The goblin warrior put down his wolf-tooth club, behaving like a chastised student, lowering his head in silence."Wasted so much effort raising you. Useless. Go, help your tribes," the shaman dismissed him."Hoo~" Relieved to receive orders, the goblin warrior, with his wolf-tooth club, turned and headed towards the human soldiers.After scolding the goblin warrior, the shaman observed Kane and the others with interest."Don't worry, when dealing with supernaturals, I've always been gentle. I won't let you die so easily. After all, my new experiment still needs some manpower," it said, then turned around and went back into the thatched hut, disregarding the expressions of the others."Lord Kane, I'm truly sorry. This is all due to my misjudgment that put you in danger," Marcus expressed deep regret."Marcus, there's no need to blame yourself so much. While you agreed to this operation, the decision was ultimately mine. If anyone should feel guilty, it's me for putting so many lives at stake here," Kane consoled him."That despicable orc shaman, if this body could still move, I would have chopped it down," Katherine complained beside them.Her words made Kane contemplate.Generally, the suppression of the aura from a higher-ranked being is unbreakable for lower-ranked individuals. However, it encountered Kane.Over the past month, besides gaining strength, Kane made progress in understanding the werewolf bloodline.Since the night he was assassinated, Kane had been studying how to transform. Recalling the battle with the assassin, he realized that the werewolf bloodline was triggered when he was on the verge of defeat. There had to be a crucial factor.After several attempts, Kane finally identified the two key elements for transformation. First, there must be an injury, even a small needle prick on the finger would suffice. Second, there must be a feeling of anger or a desire to kill.Combining these factors would result in a successful transformation. To revert, one simply needed to calm their mindset.Although Kane couldn't access his armor at the moment, he had prepared a device for such occasions.Kane concealed a fine needle inside the left hand's gauntlet. A light tap on the back of the left hand would make the needle pierce the finger.Thinking about it, Kane raised his right hand and awkwardly struck the back of the left hand's gauntlet.Soon, a slight pain emanated from his finger, signaling that he had fulfilled the first condition.Then, he looked towards the battlefield a hundred meters away. Despite the soldiers wearing armor, they were like wooden figures, unable to stop the goblin onslaught.Two or three goblins surrounded each human soldier, grabbing their weapons, then ruthlessly hacking at the soldiers' limbs. They tormented the soldiers to death by bleeding them out.The goblin leader, the goblin warrior, was even more brutal. Faced with immobilized soldiers, it simply smashed them with a hammer, reducing them to minced meat.Watching this scene, Kane could no longer suppress the anger within him.Inside the unseen armor, numerous white hairs grew on Kane's arms, extending all over his body. Even his face was not spared. His two canine teeth elongated, and sharp claws pierced through the gauntlet, revealing themselves.Empowered by the werewolf bloodline, Kane felt his strength multiply, and even the aura suppressing him loosened.With great effort, he pulled out the sword embedded in the ground and approached the goblins still slaughtering his soldiers."My lord!" It was only at this moment that Marcus and Katherine realized Kane had broken free from the suppression.Like lightning, Kane appeared next to the goblin army. While these killers were still in shock, he raised his sword, unleashing several sword qi, each uniquely platinum in color.The sword qi effortlessly sliced through the goblins' bodies, splattering their internal organs on the ground. It wasn't until dozens of goblins were slain that the sword qi dissipated.A pungent smell of blood quickly spread. Facing the goblins who had been mercilessly killing humans, fear finally appeared in their eyes.They screamed, abandoned their weapons, and ran in all directions. Meanwhile, Kane headed towards the goblin warrior, leaving a trail of blood and gore wherever he went. Any goblin he encountered was sliced in half.The goblin warrior targeted by Kane as its opponent wasn't afraid at all. It even ordered its less intelligent kin not to run away and fight alongside it.However, among the goblin race, known for their opportunism, no one listened to its command.Feeling angry, the goblin warrior quickly grabbed a fellow goblin and smashed it onto Kane's face. Of course, Kane easily dodged it, then used his sword to end the goblin's life."Waaah, Deeew~"The goblin warrior seemed to be warning its kin not to run away, or they would face a similar fate as the goblin it had thrown.Finally, the nearby goblins stopped fleeing and gathered around the goblin warrior.However, these creatures, trembling and holding wooden sticks they had picked up, stood behind their leader, resembling a disorderly mob.During the time the goblin warrior was gathering its kin, Kane approached it.This annoying human, first injuring itself and then killing so many of its kin, made the goblin warrior, previously unwilling to face Kane head-on, suddenly appear formidable."Clang."Anticipating that the opponent would be smashed into minced meat, Kane was surprised when the goblin warrior lifted its strange claws and grabbed the wolf-tooth club in his hand.A strength far exceeding his own surged from the goblin warrior. In the blink of an eye, the wolf-tooth club was thrown away and fell heavily to the ground.Even a "smart" goblin like the goblin warrior couldn't comprehend how a human who was afraid to face its hammer head-on moments ago had suddenly become so powerful.Feeling frightened, it hastily retreated, trying to distance itself from this formidable human.However, Kane didn't give it the chance to escape. He raised his claw, condensed spiritual energy on it, and in an instant, tore the head of the goblin warrior from its shoulders.This action dumbfounded the surrounding goblins. They sat dumbly in place, excreting waste from their bodies
