Another howl came.Asa knew that the hunters were torturing the women.That's the way that race used to hunt people.
If he turned around and ran to save someone, he would be caught in this stupid trap. In the end, both of their heads would become decorations for an Orc tribe.
The water of the Dorno River quickly and gently flowed to the east for thousands of miles. The slight waves seemed to be waving at him.
Come on, come on. It would be safe to jump in. Although you would be sad and feel guilty, at least you would be alive.After a few years, perhaps you would be indifferent to this matter. You would even use it as a source of gossip with friends at the wine table. If you couldn't forget it in a few years, you would definitely forget it in a few decades.
Perhaps you could use this sadness as a motivation to become a general and lead an army in a few years. You could sweep away all the orcs on the continent and avenge this girl,...
The third scream was so faint as an illusion caused by worry.
Asa cursed loudly at the most vicious curse he knew. He turned around and ran towards the direction where he came from. At the same time, he did his best to let out a roar, telling the hunter that his stupid trap was just as he had hoped, and it was very effective.
In less than ten minutes, Asa saw the pursuers and the girl in his hands.
His black hair fell from his cloak, obscuring her pained expression.Her right hand was badly mangled and twisted like a dead tree vine. Not a single inch of her bones were intact.That wasn' t something that could be caused by a single injury. It was broken in one place and then in another, until there was no place to attack.
Asa felt a little relieved. Other than this hand, he could not see where she had suffered the fatal injury.Like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, she was lifted into the air by the hunter. A faint moan came from her mouth. Her voice was intermittent, as if it could be cut off by the claws that were pinched on her neck at any moment.
Following the hairy claw, it was Asa's first time in broad daylight, at such a close distance, he saw the orc who had been chasing him for three days.
It was a full foot taller and half the width of his body. His brown fur covered his entire body, his towering ears, his yellow pupils, his long and narrow mouth, and a dog-like head. He was a werewolf.The proportion of each part of its body was roughly similar to that of humans, but from the perfect curves of its muscles and bones, it could be seen that the strength and agility contained in this body that humans could not match.
The werewolf was wearing a special leather armor. The meteor hammer on the ground, which had shattered the heads of more than a dozen of Asa's comrades a few days ago, was also specially made. Humans and dwarves could not use such a huge weapon.This terrifying weapon and his body complemented each other, allowing him to deal with an entire squad of soldiers alone.
However, this werewolf didn't look so awe-inspiring and dangerous, and could even be said to be in a sorry state.The hair on his left arm had been clotted in blood, and the wound on it was still bleeding slowly.Anka's fine sword didn' t reduce its lethality just because it couldn' t be used to chop. The unique blade would tear all the surrounding blood vessels and tissues apart once it stabbed into the body. The slender blade was forged from the best alloy of dwarves and could even pierce through bones.
There was a charred lump on the back of his left claw. One could see the burnt flesh and the fur around it had been burned off. This was the mark of the Fireball Spell.One could tell from the slight burn marks on his head that the fireball that was originally aimed at his face was blocked by his hand in time to dodge.The timing of this Fireball must have been very good.
If he and the girl were to deal with the pursuers together, their chances of winning would actually be very high...Asa felt incomparable regret.He could only use his full strength now. There should still be hope. After all, the hunter's left arm was already...
The hunter purred, opened his mouth, showed his sharp teeth, and moved his shoulders.Asa did not understand the meaning of the expression, but he could clearly see the muscles on the claw that held the girl bulging.
The prey has come, the goal has been achieved, and the bait is useless.
"Stop it!"Assa gave a hoarse cry and rushed at the hunter.
"Crack ", the crisp sound of broken bones, Asa could not tell if it was from the girl's neck or his own body.The over-running legs were no longer able to dodge in the middle of the full charge, and Asa almost watched as the hunter accurately stomped on his chest, sending him flying like a scarecrow into a tree.The knife in his hand was inserted into the tree.
Asa shrank into a ball like a shrimp. Blood and saliva flowed out of his mouth and nose.There were several broken ribs, but fortunately, they were not inserted into the internal organs.It was as if there were countless bison charging left and right in his chest. It was so painful that he couldn' t even breathe.
This was not a fun ending.Seeing that the prey that he had put so much effort into in the past three days was so vulnerable, the Hunter was disappointed.Originally, he had been hoping for a wonderful match to end.
When he discovered the obvious footprints and smell next to the bonfire this morning, he firmly believed that it was a trap.How could this cunning prey show his whereabouts to him?It must be a trick.Thus, he chased after another line of footprints that did not seem to be similar.When he discovered that his judgment had actually been wrong again, and he' d been deceived by this prey's tricks, his shock and rage almost caused him to go mad.
The other human's combat strength was even more unexpected. He almost got hit in the face by her fireball.Fortunately, this human was also very weak. After she broke her hand, she lost her combat ability due to the pain.
In the end, it was his victory.He successfully lured the escaping prey over. He could walk over now and easily unscrew his head.
No, not so fast.It would be interesting to take a closer look at the process and see what this human would do if he knew that his life was coming to an end.
The last trick?Or was it a struggle?Or could they shrink together and cry out some so-called wails?It was best not to. He was already tired of watching.
Asa finally took a breath with great difficulty. The ribs on his chest seemed to be filled with knives, and he kept twitching as he breathed.He barely lifted his head to look at the blade inserted into the tree. The white juice from the tree was already flowing all over the blade.
He recognized this tree. The thin roots on it once reminded him of something almost shameless.Now, he thought of it again. Looking at the girl who was lying on the ground and no longer moaning, he stood up and pulled out his blade from the tree trunk.He used all the strength in his body to raise the blade and charge forward.
The hunter looked at the approaching prey with almost a pitiful state of mind.This tortoise-like slow and obvious movement is your last struggle?You can even see the beat of every muscle in your body and the twisting of movement caused by pain, and you can see when and how much strength the knife uses to fall.
The hunter raised the handle of the meteor hammer in his hand and blocked the blade without any deviation. There was a loud sound of metal clashing.As expected, the blade and hand were bounced back, along with the body. The space between the chest and abdomen opened wide. As long as the claw was dug in from below, the heart would be pulled out.
However, the Hunter did not anticipate a seemingly insignificant detail.Under the intense vibration, the tree juice on the blade turned into countless small splashing into the eyes of the pursuers, as well as the wet nose.
It didn't look like tree sap, but rather like thousands of knives that were covered in poison and even burned red.The hunter let out an incomparably shrill cry that even he had never heard before.
The entire world was replaced by this pain.His vision first turned dark red and then completely black. His nose was no longer there. There was nothing but pain there. Even his ears could only hear his own screams.Then, the remaining body felt an ice-cold thing stuffed into its body from its small abdomen until it reached its chest. It didn' t take much effort, but it firmly squeezed through the originally neatly arranged internal organs.

It didn' t take much effort, but it firmly squeezed through the originally neatly arranged internal organs.
A fear that could even hide the pain swarmed over. The Hunter subconsciously grabbed something under his stomach and used all his strength and fear.After that, he heard another scream that was not inferior to his own.
Asa could not hear the sound of his wrist bones breaking into pieces. He could only feel countless pieces of bones piercing through his skin.He didn't use force. He didn't have any strength left. He used this immense pain to bend his knees and hit the hilt.The rupture of the elastic heart muscle came from the hilt.
The hunter suddenly stopped his cry, pressed his hand against his chest, and thrust his sharp claws into his fur through his leather armor, as if to turn the broken heart into its original form.But after a few steps, he collapsed.
Asa clutched his left hand and knelt on the ground, wailing and gasping for breath for a long time before he could barely stand up.
It's all over.
No, not yet.He couldn't stay here too long. Once the corpse of the pursuer emitted a scent, it would attract a large number of lizards.He was so weak that he could allow those ugly lizards to eat him without much effort. He hoped that the girl would have some useful medicine in her bag, or a high-end product like the Water Cleansing Talisman.
Asa walked over unsteadily.Looking at the girl's pale face, she was once so beautiful with a smile. After half a day, she would become the food of those ugly animals like the werewolf corpses.
Sorry, it was all my fault.Asa knelt in pain in front of her.Suddenly, he saw her lips moving. He thought it was an illusion, but he immediately heard a groan, stronger than his own.
