Derek had infiltrated the orc army by disguising himself as one of them. He was now deep in the heart of their camp in the haunted forest. It was risky being surrounded by enemies, but Derek sensed an opportunity.
The orc army was preparing for battle. Derek overheard the leaders arguing over strategy. They seemed disorganized and directionless. If Derek could sow more discord from within, it would weaken them.
Derek remembered the powerful demonic beastmaster he had recently defeated. With magic, he had extracted the beastmaster's soul before death. Now Derek secretly summoned the soul and allowed it to possess his own disguised body.
Orc felt a surge of dark energy overtake him as the beastmaster took control.
Derek smiled beneath his mask as he put both hands on Silvus' metal armor, pushing him into the nearby orc. As he pushed him, Derek made sure to apologize to Silvus.
