Jake abruptly pulled his claws from the chest of the grey Orc he had just impaled. A trickle of silvery blood dripped from the gaping wound and the humanoid monster suspended in mid-air collapsed to the ground, its eyes lifeless.
The Goblin and Orc Digestors who had just ambushed him were retreating after their defeat, but he had no intention of letting them escape. Just as he was about to give chase, his body stumbled to a halt and a worry-filled frown appeared on his face.
'The Vitality Link ? Who did this?'
Eyes closed and scrunching his eyebrows intensely, Jake weighed the pros and cons but accepted the transfer of injuries all the same. As long as the head wasn't fatally wounded he was fairly confident in his regenerative abilities. The real concern was the Death Mark, which was likely to activate if anything happened.
