"I will answer your five questions. Consider them well."
Hmm, more than I expected. Okay then, let's see.
"What is this place exactly?"
"I don't know exactly, since it been only about two decades since I came here. But according to the others who know: this city was dukedom when it was outside. It was named Oldvale. But one day its duke fell under unknown curse and turned into werewolf.
At first no one else knew about it. He turned into werewolf only on full moon. But the duke himself was an evil person. And the curse only made it worse. So, one day he gave in to the curse fully and permanently became a werewolf.
At first, he roamed about his city's street for prey. And more he became primal, more his wolf instincts flared. So, he started to make his pack. First, his wife and children. After that, his loyal guards. And finally, he started to turn the residents.
And before others near the city got the news of the curse, this whole city turned into a cursed city full of werewolves. Most lost their self. But those few who are strong enough to resist the curse can retain their clarity. Still, as time passes curse grinds at their sanity and at the end they too give in to the curse.
After this whole city was turned, other cities around it sent forces to eliminate it. But every resident of the city had become ferocious werewolves. Normal armies couldn't defeat them easily. And every time they lose, the werewolves' ranks was increased.
And finally, the empire decided to send their special troops to erase the city from the earth and cleanse the land. Most elite soldiers of the whole empire marched toward the Oldvale.
The duke got wind of it and prepared for a war. There were more than hundred thousand residents in this city and every single one of them was soldier. He was confident that he can win.
But on the dawn of the war, no one but the duke knows. The city itself vanished. And apparently, since then this city was in this dungeon. I came into this dungeon twenty years ago. I finished the previous floors and ascended till here. When I came here there was more werewolves here.
I slaughtered them to reach the castle and finally met the duke. We fought, I lost, he cursed me and here I am. Just another prisoner of this fucking dungeon.
Next question."
It seems he is carrying one hell of a grudge against this dungeon.
"Okay. What were you before you became like that?"
"I was a mighty orc commander. During my crusade to unite our nearby clans I lost to another commander and got cornered. With no other choice, I decided to dive into the infamous Wasteland dungeon. No one ever made it out of this dungeon before. I thought I can. But I was wrong.
I don't know why you dived into this dungeon. But you are wrong too, for you will die here."
Hehehe. Funny dude, huh.
"Okay, next question: Can't turn into your initial form like the elf Ettrian?"
"It takes a long training and a delicate control of mana and energy to transform back to one's natural form. And as an orc I don't have a sufficient control of energy to transform back. But at the same time, I have an iron will of an orc. And that makes it possible for me to retain my reason and clarity. I once was a mighty orc commander, roaming the battlefield. But now, I'm nothing but wolf.
I can't even remember what it was like to be an orc anymore."
Ooh, that was heavy.
"Next question: how does the duke turn others into werewolves?"
"He bites them."
All this is strangely similar to the myth back at Alex's dimension. You turn to werewolf at full moon night. You can turn others by biting them. Hehe. I think my meeting with the duke will be quite interesting.
"Now ask your last question."
"Okay, what is your name?"
"Are you sure that is your last question?"
"Yes."
"Okay, my name is Xorag. What is your name, human?"
"It's Alder."
"Well then Alder, prepare yourself."
He points his broadsword toward me. And his very presence changes. I feel as if I'm looking against a wind. But doesn't matter. I will still kill him. As I think that, the nostalgic ugly grin crawls up my face.
"Then shall we begin, Xorag?"
AWOO!!!
He howls toward the sky. That was unexpected as shit. Hehe. I feel Fenrir's intention to come out.
"Don't. I will kill him myself."
As he heard me, Fenrir calms down.
Xorag raises his sword overhead and runs toward me. I simply activate my full armor and wait for him. This time I will beat him to within inch of his life.
He reaches me and swings down his broadsword. I side step to my left a little and his sword just grazes by my shoulder.
BOOM!
After that, I get in close to him and punch him in his guts with my first technique. That throws him away. I get in to stance and wait for him to stand up.
He stands up and looks toward me.
"I won't let you get up next time."
He starts to approach me slowly and carefully this time. And I simply wait for him. He hops a little forward as soon as he enters the range of his sword and swings his sword horizontally.
Idiot. I simply squat down and get in close to him again.
BOOM!
I stand up and get him on his chin with a well-executed uppercut. He gets thrown away again with a micro explosion. This time I follow him and steps on his guts as soon as he lands.
He coughs up blood. While he is disoriented, I kick his broadsword away and turn around and once again get into stance to wait for him.
He stands up again and looks for his sword. Unfortunately, his sword is behind me.
GRRRR.
He growls at me. His eyes turned killer red. I think he is starting to lose it. As I watch that, I simply wait for him in my basic boxing stance. I said I will beat him to within inch of his life.
Unexpectedly, he imitates my stance and get into basic boxing stance too. But I highly doubt he knows anything about boxing.
Yup. He just charges at me again. Idiot. And just as he enters the range, he opens his arms wide and try to tackle me. That won't work, dude.
I simply dash to my right with micro explosions and dodge his tackle. After losing his target, he comes to crouching stop and as soon as he stops, I dash back and throw a jab across his left jaw. And once again he flies away.
More I use micro explosion dash more I see its potential. With well controlled micro explosions to propel me to any directions, I can move around like a ghost. All I need is enough training. And I think I got a perfect training opportunity right here.
Xorag stands up once again and turns to me. Even though his eyes are blood red, he is still yet to lose control. I guess he was right about the Orcs' iron will.
This time he wises up and simply stands where he is and waits for me.
"Okay then, this time I will come to you."
I walk up to him while maintaining my stance. He stands where he is patiently. And I walk toward him patiently. But even with his beastly face, I can still read his micro expressions. He may think that he is showing patient front, I can see from his twitching face that he is almost at his limit.
And as if to prove me right, as soon as I enter his range. He tries to kick me. I dodge his kick easily with side step and closes in on him. He swings his right arm around. I simply dash back to dodge it and dash forward to close in on him again.
And as soon as I get in range, I start to bombard his ribs with consecutive punches.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
And each time my punch hits his ribcage, I hear his ribs crushing under the impact. Hehe. He swings with his arm again. I block his arm with my right arm and continues to go to the town on his ribcage.
ROAR.
He finally loses it and tries to tackle me. I simply spin to my left and get behind him while dodging his tackle. After he stumbles from losing his target, I raise my right foot and kicks him with my second technique across his skull.
He falls to the ground with caved in skull and loses consciousness. He is still alive. But I simply summon my katana and stab it across his head, thus killing him.
And same procedure repeats itself.
