"Hey, are you trying to mess with us? Anyway! It doesn't matter whether you are able to speak our language or not, it won't change the fact that you will die here today!" With that the leader signaled all of the others to charge towards Caine.
Caine didn't care about the orcs closing in their distance, he just looked down at the hooded trench coat that he is wearing, "Well, I kind of like this costume of mine, so I don't really want to stain it with blood. Hey how about this, you all could just kill each others.?"
As soon as Caine finished his sentence, he clicked his fingers and the charging orcs all stopped.
"Ahhh! Skeletons!"
"Giant spider!"
"Two-Tailed Scorpion!"
All sorts of shouts could be heard from the orcs and in Caine's vision, they all started to kill one and others.
Their faces showed absolute fear, and they swung their weapons uncontrollably at each other.
In the vision of the orcs, they all saw their companions transforming into giant beasts that threatened to eat them alive, but this all just looked as if they went berserk to Caine's eyes.
The one who caused this was none other than Caine's Illusion magic. He caused the vision of the orcs to all see their comrades as some kind of monster that they fear the most.
It didn't take long for the orcs to all drop dead one after another, leaving only one orc alive standing among the mountain of corpses and river of blood.
The orc left standing was none other than the one who gave out orders to the other orcs. It seems he himself is also left grievously injured by his minions.
The vision of the orc finally returned back to normal, his body continued to shake intensely. He slowly turned in a circle, looking at the corpses of his comrades with his eyes wide open.
His vision stopped to look at the man in front of him, the one who caused all of this with just a click of a finger, "Y-You! What did you do?"
"Whoa! Don't accuse me of this, I didn't kill any of them. It was you guys who killed each other."
"Y-You, who exactly are you?"
"Me? Did you just say I was a human?"
"Impossible! How can a human child have such strength?! Even if you are an adult dwarf, you can't possibly have this much power!"
"Believe, I really am a human. Is just that I'm a bit special." Caine, pointed a finger forward and before the orc could even react, a blinding light beam towards the heart of the orc and pierce through it.
Thump!
Caine sighed towards the pile of corpses and the dyed red floor in front of him. If there wasn't a reason to do it, then he wouldn't go out of his own way to kill them.
Since the orcs were prepared to kill others, then they should be prepared to be killed themselves.
Caine momentarily disappeared from the spot he was standing at, then instantly appeared in front of the barricaded door of the building that the orcs were trying to break into.
Kak! Kak!
"Anyone in there?" Caine knocked on the door and shouted, of course he knew that the villagers were all hiding there, he only asked out of politeness.
"W-Who is it?" A woman's voice responded from the otherside of the door.
"I'm an adventurer, here to exterminate the nearby orc's hideout. I have already killed the orcs outside so it's safe to come out."
"..."
After a moment of silence, the sound of chains moving around could be heard from the otherside of the door then followed by the noise of the lock dropping on the floor.
The door slowly opened with a creek then a girl about the age of 14, wearing leather armor and wielding a sword stood in front of the door. Behind her were two more girls about her age and a boy about Caine's age, they were all wielding a weapon.
Caine took a couple of steps back to allow them to leave the building.
Two of them came out of the building and scanned the mountain of corpse in shock, but they quickly got themselves together then looked towards Caine.
"My name is Layla, I'm also an adventurer who came to exterminate the orcs with my companions. I would like to thank you and your companions for saving us and the villagers… Where are your companions, don't tell me they have already headed to the orc's hideout." The woman called Layla, once again scanned around the surrounding but found no one except Caine.
"...I'm sorry but I believe you have miss understood. I only came here by myself." Caine corrected them, seeing that they were all confused.
"..."
"""Ehhhh?!"""
