Blood Elf Monarch

Chapter 313 - Interrogation 3

Seeing the place he was thrown into and the orc in front of him, the officer in black uniform quickly understood the situation he was in.

Despite seeing the giant orc charging at him, the man did not budge from his position. It was unknown when he prepared, but just as Ghrall's grip was about to reach him, the man's hands suddenly burned in flames and he blew up a powerful fire spell, throwing Ghrall a few meters back.

Seeing the fire that was glowing with black smoke gave Tristan a slightly peculiar feeling. This somewhat interested him, and the more he observed it, the more interested he became.

He quickly asked Herera about it, his mouth unconsciously curving into a smile, "What fire magic is that?"

Surprisingly, neither Hererra nor Cecilia had any idea what kind of spell that black fire was. They had never seen such a spell before. Commander Ceicilia explained, "My king, I have no knowledge of that strange fire. In all my life, I have never seen such a thing."

Serene, however, felt as if she had ever heard of a description matching the fire in front of her. Although she was not sure, she still said to Tristan, "I think I heard the dark elves mention it before. If I'm not mistaken, it should be one of the lost fire magics, the hell flame."

Just as Tristan was about to think more about it, he heard a small mocking laugh from Jenkins' direction. Looking his way, Tristan realized that Jenkins, who was previously in a state of panic, was now smiling without restraint.

Tristan frowned seeing his smile.

"What's so amusing?"

"Hahaha! You people of the lower realms, you don't even know about the hell flame. It might be a rare spell for you people, but it is, in fact, a very common spell for the empire. After all, it's only a measly rank 5 fire spell, not even worth talking about," Jenkins ridiculed.

"Only a rank 5 spell?" Tristan was surprised. The highest level of spells he could use at the moment was only rank 3, and Arcadians mostly only had rank 5 spells from the wood elves, so rank 5 fire spells were very rare for them. And yet, the captain mentioned such luxury so casually, even saying it was not worth talking about.

Tristan's train of thought was quickly cut by Ghrall's scream.

"Ghrall!!!"

The orc overlord was screaming in pain, but it only lasted for a few seconds. Not much longer, he looked back toward the officer as if he was never hurt. This scene also surprised Tristan.

Once again, Ghrall charged toward the officer. But this time, knowing that the human mage could cast such flames, Ghrall was more cautious.

Sterling was amazed by Ghrall's fast recovery. The old knight had fought several champion orcs throughout his life and he was proud that he was able to kill a few of them. Even so, he could clearly see that the orc in front of him was different.

Noticing Sterling's reaction, Tristan asked out of curiosity, "What is it? Tell me."

Instead of Sterling, it was Cecilia who answered, "I am sure that Commander Sterling was simply amazed by the orc's skin. Even though I can tell the strength of the spell, it's amazing to see that the orc could easily sustain it."

Before Cecilia could explain further, Siegfried interrupted, "Master, please allow me to explain.

"I realized that the orc overlord must be something new on this planet, but I have been fighting against this highest evolution of orcs all my life. I can still handle going against a few war chief orcs, but an orc overlord is very much different. They are much harder to fight as their skin has a very high resistance toward magic."

Hearing such facts, Tristan was quickly elated. He found one more thing he loved about these orcs.

The fight inside the room between Ghrall and the space knight officer became even more intense. From their previous moves, it seemed that Ghrall was a mage's most fearsome nemesis, especially in a closed room such as this.

The officer used multiple more hell flames, which enraged Ghrall even more. He seemed to be in pain, but those flames were unable to stop him.

Seeing the fight slowly weighing toward the orc, Jenkins was furious. "Stop this instant!!!"

In the battle, with Ghrall charging at him again, the bridge officer turned into flames as the orc's two hands reached him, engulfing both of his arms as if alive. 

The orc screamed in pain once more as the fire covered his entire body, but Ghrall did not let go. On the contrary, his grab only tightened even more.

With a battle cry, Ghrall activated his [Combat Berserk] skill. WIth his improved strength, the fire mage did not have a chance of escaping.

When it turned into a battle of strength, the fire mage was not a match against the orc overlord at all.

Tristan turned back toward Jenkins as he asked, "Looks like one of your men lost again, Captain. Now, what's your decision?"

The captain silently looked down. He fully regretted his decision of surrendering. He should have listened to the marshal. He should have at least fought this bastard to the death.

"No? Captain, are you sure!?" Tristan mocked.

Tristan's arrogance finally broke him. He could no longer hold his rage. "I will kill you!!! I will fucking kill you!!!"

To his surprise, at that moment, Tristan responded, "Oh? That's not a bad idea. How about this, I'll give you a chance to kill me. You and I will fight next. If you win, not only can you save the rest of your men, but you'll also get to injure or maybe even kill me. However, if you lose... either give me the access code or I'll immediately kill all of your men without exception.

"What do you think, Captain? do you agree?"

The usually calm captain replied, his eyes full of determination, "I agree."

Hearing the captain's reply, Tristan grinned in satisfaction. He ordered Siegfried to release Jenkins' god stone binding, and the enraged captain impatiently walked into the room.

Before he entered the room, he spoke to the communication stone in his hand, "Make sure to record everything in detail. Don't miss anything."

"Yes, my king," the person on the other side responded.

Without anyone else's knowledge, there was another room that had been recording and analyzing the details of the previous fights.
