The World Serpent

Chapter 59 - 59-Shaman Massacre

In the Night, A Dozen Kilometers away from the Ork Subjugation Camp. A Cold Breeze went through the Heavens and the Earth as it carried the Clouds and Rustled the Leaves. The Night was Cold and Peaceful. It was in Silence as all of the Worlds inhabitants were sleeping in peace, Though such silence was broken as numerous leaves rustled altogether. Footsteps echoed, and torches lit up within the Eternal Darkness that covered the forest.

There were a Group of Beings with greenish skin traversing through the forest late at night. Their muscles were bulging, and their Faces looked like Pigs. They wore cloaks that covered their face as they held books and staff while traversing through the forest. They were the Orks that managed to escape the massacre of the Subjugation Group. Specifically, they were the Magus Orks or Shaman. The Orks could use something called Magic. They were strong with their spells, but it was unfortunate for them to have met with something that could easily break their spells.

They continued to run through the Dark Forest with heavy expressions plastered on their faces. They were the last ones that managed to survive, and their resting comrades hoped their deaths would be known. The Leader of the escaping Orks was the Intelligent Ork Captain. He was the Captain of the Magus Group within the Subjugation Army. He never thought that a Monster would appear in front of them and begin a massacre. He wanted the Chieftain of the Ork to know of the Monster's existence. But unfortunately for him, He won't be able to reach the Chieftain.

'We need to run...' The Intelligent Ork Captain thought with a serious expression on his face. He was panting heavily as his group continued traversing through the Dark Forest. He looked around and found his comrades breathing heavily. Their stamina was not good enough to be Warriors, but they could still traverse a dozen kilometers before falling to the ground.

The Intelligent Ork Captain knew that he needed to let his Group rest. They wouldn't be able to last longer if they didn't rest. It was better for them to conserve their energy. With this in mind, The Intelligent Ork Captain stopped running and looked upon his Comrades. He then spoke with a calm tone. "Let's stop here... We need to take a rest."

The Magus Orks nodded in agreement as they stopped moving. They understood that they wouldn't be able to last long if they continued running. They needed to conserve their energy and gain more energy. The Magus Orks began stretching their bodies under their cloaks as they sat on the ground. They took a rest and looked at the Night skies above them.

"We'll only stay here for about an Hour. We don't know if that White Serpent would chase after us, so it would be better for our rest to be not longer than an hour." The Intelligent Ork Captain said as he leaned on some tree. The Magus Orks nodded in understanding and began calming themselves. They needed to gather stamina for an hour and continue running.

"Sir, can we use our Spells?" One of the Magus Orks asked as the Intelligent Ork Captain raised an eyebrow. He looked at the Magus Orks and noticed that it was a Young One. He sighed as he never thought that such young Magus would experience such recent events. He shook his head and spoke towards the Young Magus Ork. "We cannot use our Spells."

But why?" The Young Magus Ork tilted its head as it was curious to know the reasons of the Intelligent Ork Captain. The Intelligent Ork Captain understood that there was no use in conveying with words, so the Ork Captain use actions to let the Young Magus Ork understand.

A Spell Circle slowly formed onto the Intelligent Ork Captain's Hand. It was Crimson Red in Color as it slowly formed into a Basic Spell called Fire Ball. But before such Spell could complete itself, It broke apart like a Glass shattered from a Fall. The Young Magus Ork nodded in understanding after seeing the performance of the Spell Circle on the Intelligent Ork Captain's hand.

"The Mana in the surroundings aren't accepting our Calls. They are under control by someone or something. Under this Territory, We won't be able to invoke our spells." The Intelligent Ork Captain explained in a simplified version. "So... We'll we be able to use our Spells if we escape the Forest?" The Young Magus Ork asked as the Intelligent Ork Captain chuckled.

"That is correct. We would be able to invoke our spells if we escape the forest. The only question I have is... Would we be able to escape?" The Intelligent Ork Captain stopped chuckling as he spoke the truth. The Magus Orks hearing his words looked at the Skies. There was nothing in the Skies, but they could feel that something was watching them from afar.

In the Dark Heavens that got covered by the Black Fluffy Clouds. A Dark Ashen Eagle flew through the Skies while observing its prey from afar. It looked at its prey with its Golden Eyes as it understood that its existence had already got known. It then looked at the distance and spoke through its Master. <Master, What should we do about the escaping Orks?> The Dark Ashen Eagle asked its Master.

A Grand and Noble Voice then echoed through the Dark Ashen Eagle's Mind.

*The Escaping Orks? Well, They should be handled by the Silver Wolves. They are Weaker in both Strength and Weaponry. They also shouldn't have the power to invoke their strange things called Spells. This is the Best Moment for the Silver Wolves to let their Battle Prowess known. I do wonder how they would finish the escapees.*

<Understood, I will relay the order.> The Dark Ashen Eagle stopped looking at the distance and looked at the Giant Silver Wolf that was a Kilometer away from the Orks. It already understood what its Sister was trying to do, so it gathered the Silver Wolves in advance. It activated its Telepathy and relayed its orders to the Leader of the Silver Wolves.

<Luna, Order has been given. The Silver Wolves will handle the escaping Orks. The Orks are weaker, and they have no weapons. Please don't disappoint your Master.> The Dark Ashen Eagle relayed its Order as the Giant Silver Wolf nodded and answered. *Master's Orders shall get fulfilled.* The Giant Silver Wolf looked at its Comrades, which numbered in Twenty.

'Our Master Persia that saved us has given us the chance to kill the ones that massacre our pact. We will have our revenge and pay them back a hundredfold of our suffering.' Luna said with a cold tone as the New Hunting Pack nodded in agreement. They had hatred in their eyes as they looked at the Skies and howled together.

During the moment, The Magus Orks were resting on a Small Area. They have already prepared some warning traps all over the Area in case something attacks them. A Bon Fire was in front of them as they cooked some simple food. They only had a dozen minutes left before they would leave their spot, so they needed to take their time and do everything they needed to do.

The Intelligent Ork Captain who looked at his comrades had a bad feeling within his heart. His heart was beating heavily, which was strange, but he placed it at the back of his mind. There was no need for him to be nervous and panic as he was the leader of the Group. He needed to be strong and be the pillar where his Group could hold onto. He sighed after placing the nervous feeling at the back of his mind until he heard a Howl.

He looked at a distance and quickly stood up. He felt his heart beating heavily after hearing the Howl and shouted towards his comrades. "Prepare yourselves!!!" His Comrades were surprised as they quickly prepared themselves. They hold onto their staff as they looked around the Dark Forest. They didn't know why the Ork Captain was nervous, but they trusted him with their lives.

"Did something happened, Captain?" A Magus Ork asked in curiosity as the Ork Captain looked at him with a Grave Expression. The Ork Captain nodded and spoke with a serious tone. "I heard a howl in the distance. A Howl would only mean one thing in this Dark Forest." The Magus Orks around him held their staffs tightly as they understood what their Captain meant.

They continued looking around the Forest as their Beating hearts echoed around their body. It was Dark, and the Bonfire was losing its flame. With the Flames dimming, Their Light slowly lost its power. Sooner or later, They would be engulfed in the Darkness of the Night. They didn't have any Torches left as the Torches already lost their ability to hold the flames.

The Leaves around them Rustled as they quickly looked around and gathered into one spot. All of them knew that they already got surrounded by their Enemy. The Enemy was obviously the Silver Wolves Pack. The Intelligent Ork Captain carefully pointed his Staff onto the places where darkness invaded. The Bushes rustled as they heard a scream echoing in the Forest. "Ahh!!!" One of their Comrades got dragged out of the group.

"Tsk..." The Ork Captain clicked his tongue after seeing his comrade killed by the Silver Wolves. He never knew that the Creatures they were supposed to hunt were hunting them instead. He then spoke towards his comrades with a cold and serious tone. "Be careful and do not let your guards down." The Magus Orks nodded and looked around the Dark Forest.

The Bright Pale Moon that got covered by the Black Fluffy Clouds slowly revealed itself. Its Bright Moonlight shone onto the Forest as Light finally got itself through the forest. The Magus Orks were happy as they wouldn't need to traverse the Forest in complete Darkness. But such happiness didn't last long as the battle has already begun.

The Silver Wolves got out of the Bushes and attacked the Magus Orks. It was unexpected for the Silver Wolves to attack at this speed after the Moonlight shone through the Forest. It was as if the Moonlight was the signal for their attack. The Ork Captain gritted his teeth as he could see his Comrades and himself separated. They got cornered by the damned wolves.

The Ork Captain wanted to help his Comrades, but he couldn't continue moving after seeing a Giant Silver Wolf blocking his path. The Ork Captain felt a cold sweat dripping from his forehead as he instinctively invokes a spell. The Spell broke like a simple mirror, and the Ork Captain knew that he wouldn't win against the Giant Silver Wolf.

The Ork Captain pointed his staff towards the Giant Silver Wolf as he smiled gravely. The Giant Silver Wolf looked at him with its Cold Gaze as it noticed that the Ork Captain in front of it was quite Weak. The Giant Silver Wolf shook its head as it understood that it needed to bring the best result for the Silver Wolf Pack. It then charged towards the Ork Captain and quickly bit his Head off.

The Ork Captain's Head got eaten by the Giant Silver Wolf. Blood began spewing out like a Fountain as the Ork Captain's Body slowly fell to the ground. The Giant Silver Wolf began chewing the Head of the Ork Captain. Such thing was quite normal in the Realm of Piksyon despite the Intelligence between races.

After eating the Ork Captain's Head, The Giant Silver Wolf looked around and saw that most of the Magus Orks were already dead. There were no casualties on the Silver Wolves' side which was also a piece of good news. Numerous Corpses were on the ground, and the Massacre of the Magus Orks was complete.

A Dark Ashen Eagle looked at the Area from the Heavens with its Golden Eyes. It then sent a message to its Master. <They have completed their Order without Failure. There was no loss in the Silver Wolves, and the Orks completely got eliminated.>

*It seems that they didn't disappoint me. I will give them rewards for their actions and results..* A Voice echoed through the Dark Ashen Eagle's Mind as it nodded in agreement.
