He spun around, his claws glowing with blue flames, and slashed through Slog's defenses. The orc barely managed to dodge, but not without taking a deep wound to his side.
"You'll pay for that!" Slog hissed, his eyes filled with rage as he clutched his bleeding side.
Muwi grinned, his tails flicking dangerously behind him. "Try me."
With a snarl, Rekka lunged back into the fight, her swords flashing through the air. Muwi met her head-on, their blades clashing with a deafening clang. Sparks flew as they fought, the blue glow of Muwi's flames illuminating the forest around them.
The fight was brutal. John was locked in a fierce duel with Grugnak and Gor, their weapons colliding with bone-shattering force. Every hit from Gor's mace sent shockwaves through the ground, and Grugnak's relentless axe swings forced John to stay on the move, his body straining under the constant pressure.
Muwi wasn't faring much better. Rekka and Slog were ruthless, their coordinated attacks leaving little room for error. But Muwi refused to back down. His body moved with incredible speed, his flames burning hotter with every clash. With a powerful roar, he sent a beam of blue fire from his mouth, forcing Rekka and Slog to scatter.
"This ends now," Muwi growled, his eyes glowing as he gathered his energy for a final attack.
At the same time, John knew he had to finish the fight before his body gave out. He focused a good part of his remaining essence into his katana, the flames around it burning brighter than ever. With a final burst of speed, he dashed past Grugnak and Gor, slashing through both orcs in a single, fluid motion.
Grugnak staggered, his massive body swaying before collapsing to the ground with a thunderous crash. Gor followed soon after, his spiked mace falling from his hands as he dropped to his knees, blood pouring from the deep gash across his chest.
On the other side of the battlefield, Muwi's flames flared to their peak. With a ferocious roar, he unleashed a torrent of blue fire from his mouth and tails, engulfing Rekka and Slog in a devastating attack. The orc generals had no chance to react. The flames consumed them, burning through their armor and flesh until there was nothing left but ash.
Panting heavily, John and Muwi stood amidst the wreckage of the battle. The orc generals were defeated, their bodies lying motionless on the ground. The goblins, empowered by John's Biwu fire armor, had pushed back the orde.
Suddenly, a powerful presence made itself known on the battlefield.
A sudden force slammed into John and Muwi, sending them both crashing into the ground. The impact left cracks in the earth as they struggled to get back up. John's eyes narrowed as he spotted the figure that had attacked them.
It was the Orc Grand General.
Standing taller and more imposing than any orc they had faced so far, the Orc Grand General had a terrifying presence. His skin was a sickly purple, and his eyes glowed with a poisonous hue. His armor was made of dark, twisted metal, and a large, black mace hung from his hand. His aura radiated power, easily at the peak of A rank.
"You dare challenge my horde?" the Grand General growled, his voice deep and menacing. He didn't wait for a response before rushing toward John and Muwi, his movements surprisingly fast for his size. In an instant, he was upon them, swinging his mace with deadly force.
John barely had time to raise his katana to block the attack, but the impact sent him skidding backward, his feet digging into the ground. Muwi jumped in to help, his tails lashing out with beams of blue fire, but the Grand General swatted them away with ease, his power overwhelming.
"Damn, this guy's tough," John muttered, blood dripping from his mouth as he struggled to his feet. Muwi growled, his body still glowing, but even he was having trouble keeping up.
Just as the Grand General was about to finish them off, a surge of magic flooded the battlefield. A new figure appeared, stepping forward from the goblin ranks.
It was the Goblin King, Gruk, the shaman.
Gruk was clad in a mage armor made from the wood of ancient trees. His staff, a long branch with a green essence stone floating in the center, glowed with energy. The staff emitted a soft, green light, and as Gruk raised it, the trees around them responded, their branches twisting and turning as they prepared to aid their king.
"Stand down, Grand General," Gruk commanded, his voice calm but filled with authority.
The Orc Grand General sneered, his poisonous aura spreading across the battlefield. "You think your magic can stop me, old goblin?"
Gruk didn't respond with words. Instead, he slammed his staff into the ground, and the trees around them came to life. Vines shot out from the earth, wrapping around the Grand General, but the orc was prepared. He swung his mace, releasing a wave of poison that withered the trees in an instant.
The two clashed, their powers colliding in a fierce battle. Gruk's wood magic was strong, but the Grand General's poison was relentless, corrupting everything it touched. The two entered a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Meanwhile, John and Muwi had recovered. With the orc generals defeated, they turned their attention back to the fight. They couldn't let Gruk handle this alone. The goblin siblings, Vex and Kira, joined them, both revealing their true strength.
Kira wielded a spear, the earth beneath her feet responding to her command. Her spear strikes were powerful, each one reinforced by the earth element, shaking the ground with every move. Vex, on the other hand, was a water mage. He manipulated the water in the air, sending waves of liquid crashing into the remaining orcs.
"Let's take these bastards down," John said, his katana glowing as he charged forward.
Together with Muwi and the siblings, they launched a coordinated attack on the Orc Grand General. John activated his *Eclipse Series: Parallel*, creating afterimages of himself that struck from different angles. Muwi's flames surged even hotter, and the siblings combined their earth and water elements to assist.
The battle moved deeper into the forest, far from the city. The goblins were winning the war, but the fight with the Orc Grand General was far from over.
John gritted his teeth as he focused, trying to tap into aura once again. He could feel it, just out of reach. He had to push harder, or they wouldn't stand a chance against the orc's overwhelming power.
