Kapitel 24: Chapter 23: Den of Groles Pt 2

"HAHHHH!"

Dark green fluid splashed out from the point of landing causing Some to splash onto his right foot, causing him to feel a burning sensation almost immediately.

'Luckily it wasn't directly!' With this thought Alex became even more focused as he observed the two Grole spiders. They were now cautiously circling them, the green spotted one remained in the distance while the one that fought him in close combat had yellow spots instead.

'could this be like a differentiation of class/evolution?' Alex couldn't help thinking, He looked at the Goblins and noticed they were trembling.

'In the first place, Orcs would have been a better choice...best, end this and return quickly.'

The yellow spotted Grole charge in with it's arms wide open, aiming to grab Alex this time around.

ROAR!!!

Alex immediately used his title Berserk skill <Savage> as he got into stance, hoping to end this quickly.

'Bum!Bum!' Immediately, his heartbeat increased it's pace by several times as his vision changed into blood red but became several times sharper, He could feel the raw power coursing through his bones forcing him release a barbaric roar as he kicked against the ground!!

Boom!

The Battle axe hacked at the Grole, cutting off the legs on one of its sides as he dodge it's arms!!.

"SCREEEEEeeeeeee!!!!!" A mournful scream left the yellow spotted spider's mouth.

KRIKRKRIRKRI!!!

The goblins seemed affected as they let out a cry before rushing out wildly, boosted by their chieftains actions!!. some pulled out their rusty weapons while those that lost theirs began tossing anything they could get their hands on.

From the time he tested the skill before, His power rating would shoot up to around six thousand plus but what he was unaware of was that, it affected nearby units!!.

"HAHAHAHA...I see!, I understand now! Hahaha" when Alex saw the Goblin's actions, he couldn't help but laugh wildly. His overly cautious nature from his Human life time was really limiting his Great Orc's potential in some aspects.

Swoosh!!

Alex dodged a spider leg that had been trashing wildly before Hacking out said leg with precision and retreated two steps backwards in a swift and smooth motion. The Groles in their first circle were almost four meters tall, compared to Alex's 2.7 meter height which was second to only Urim who was 3 meters in height.

The Grole attacked with a punch this time hitting Alex squarely on his Jaws as his head was knocked to the side but he quickly recovered due to the berserk skill. He grabbed the retreating fist and pulled rather violently.

CRACK!!

A deafening sound of popping bones out of their sockets echoed out immediately as He used the spotted Spider's momentary blankness to leap into the air as his legs produced a much more explosive power to launch him up. Gripping the Axe with both hands and swung downwards, slicing it in two.

[+2980 EXP!!]

"Die!" He released a Beastly roar as he spat on it's corpse, he scanned his surroundings and found that the Goblins had killed the other Grole.

Dark green fluid gushed out from it's wounds. Some splashed onto goblins, and they could feel a burning sensation as they tried to blow some air onto it frantically.

Alex was soon overtaken by a heavy feeling of weakness as released a Heavy sigh. He gasped for air while bearing the pain from his arms, his shoulder was slightly corroded by the acid but was showing signs of healing, even the cloak was done repairing itself which was good news.

"We're definitely not ready yet...this creatures are way stronger and organised than my initial thoughts!. I need more Orcs" Alex thought as he narrowed his eyes at the dead creatures.

He took in a deep breath and looked at the doors once more. he noticed that it was locked on this side with a cross bar. This confirmed his thoughts, this mine was more than it seems and this spiders seems to have a thriving community.

"best stick to the outskirts for now. How did Lovan do it??!!" Alex muttered as he looked towards the direction the lady left. He then approached the sprawled Goblins and began tossing them through the Entrance they came in from, only this time, it felt harder.

At the End, He leaped onto the edges and studied the Entrance carefully before heading down with dull Thud!. As soon as he landed, Urim and the others were seen running towards them, this made Alex smile bitterly.

"Brother" Urim said as he looked at Alex in confusion.

"Lets go!" was all Alex responded with as he moved towards the Exit, refusing to show any weakness. Torrelsav was also there as he looked at Alex and the almost crawling goblins with interest before looking at the door.

Meanwhile,

At the Main Hall Dabok looked at Haji and the Kobold before him with a frown, The little Goblin told him earlier about this Kobold that refused to work, so he sent for it.

Alex had told him about this Kobold, He was told to support it as it was a good one but why did it refuse to work?. Dabok couldn't understand it!.

"Why you don't work?" He asked.

"Work?!!!why would I work!?when I receive no respect whatsoever!!" The kobold boldly said after rolling it's eyes.

Dabok was confused as he shocked, His face got even more Darker!, 'This little man know many w-words?!'.

Thann's End,

Moongret Castle,

The Patriarch Charles Icily listened to Frank's report,"So you're saying this was probably done by the Degr Kingdom?".

"Yes" Frank replied curtly as his shadow squimed a little as though it wanted to protest but Charles didn't notice.

"But that's Unlikely, Why would they leave all the way from the North and somehow appear in the south?" Charles asked with a skeptical expression before getting off his chair while pacing around the room.

"Could there be a treasure that could attract the Orc lord?, but then why didn't he send any of his generals?"

"Frank...Frank, do some digging, covertly!...Use the black guards this time, don't attract anyone's attention, do not tell anyone, not even my kinsmen!! we must get to the bottom of this" Charles concluded as the sun reflected on the gem laying on his forehead.

Frank was a little surprised at the end of his sentence but he quickly recovered, "as you wish, my Lord!"

He got up and approached the door, only to be stopped as soon as he touched the handle.

"Right!" Charles said, "You should try get a wife soon...Hopefully, your child gains that ability of yours".

Veins bulged at the side of Frank's head as he thought with squinted eyes, 'Are you cussing me?!...who'd wish this for their kid!!! or are you setting sight on them now'.

"You may leave!" Charles said, seemingly in a good mood, hopefully things turn out as he imagined. Frank on the other hand bowed before leaving, no one knew what he was thinking.
