BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 Not An Empty Threat But A Surety
The words of the Goblin king was nothing but an insult and a ridicule to the Orc lord.
His arrogance and assurance of being able to dominate over him was beyond imaginable.
However, the Orc lord knew the arrogance of the Goblin king was not an empty threat but a surety that has been verified.
He had once faced the Goblin king in a one on one battle.
The result, was an utter defeat that left him on the brink of death.
If it wasn\'t for the sacrifice made by his subordinates who bought time for the Orc lord to escape by facing off against the Goblin king, he can say for certain that he wouldn\'t be here now.
Things however are different now.
Sure, he had lost against him without being able to lift even a muscle, but that was before.
He can\'t really expect that things would go the way it did the first time can he?.
While the Goblin king was spending his time immersing himself with women and fighting entertainment,
The Orc lord was spending his time fighting in a real battle and getting stronger, with the hopes of reclaiming the honor his specie once had.
He did not relent on his battles as he stubbornly challenged his limitations and strived to surpass it.
He had indulged himself in combat upon combat and battles upon battles.
Yet, the Goblin king dared to sully his determination with arrogance and understimation.
The Orc lord was bitter in his mind, but he knew he had to keep a rational mind.
He hadn\'t forgotten the humiliation he was put through the first time.
He hadn\'t forgotten the strength the Goblin king wielded.
He knew rampaging and losing his mind will change nothing but lead him faster to his defeat at the hands of the Goblin king.
whatever insult like words came out of the Goblin king\'s mouth, he needed to be unaffected by it.
He will not willingly give control over to the Goblin king and allow himself be mentally manipulated by the Goblin king.
Giving him three chance to make any attack he so desires?, sure he will do it.
A perfect opportunity he wouldn\'t let go to waste.
The Goblin king although hated by the Orc lord, was regarded as a warrior who keeps to his word.
Giving him three opportunities to attack is not a bluff, that much the Orc lord is sure of.
The Orc lord intends on taking the three chances to do some damage to the Goblin king.
Even though he has doubts about coming out victorious, he did not want to tarnish his reputation before his Orc subordinates by going down easily without a fight or not even getting one clean hit at the Goblin king.
The Orc lord with confidence and his wits up charged at the Goblin king and swung his club at him fiercely.
The Goblin king moved his right foot to the sides and evaded the club.
The club passed by the Goblin king\'s side and landed on the ground close to his leg.
Not making any unnecessary movements and only the one needed to avoid the club with composure similar to a kid entertaining a child.
"ho....how...."
The Orc lord was dumbfounded at what just happened.
He had definitely swung the club with strength and speed, so how?.
He was sure he did not hold back, he was certain he had given it is all, so how?.
just how?, how?, how?.
the Orc lord calmed himself down to not get more agitated.
He raised his club and withdrew backwards.
The Orc lord shaked his head several times to get himself back into the game.
\'that attack was too simple\'.
\'it was just a simple straightforward slash with no other complicated moves so of course he can easily evade it\'.
\'for my next attack, I will go with a more confusing move\'.
\'that said, his reaction speed still hasn\'t changed one bit\'.
The Orc lord managed to convince himself that his attack was too simple which is why the Goblin king had no trouble evading it.
He assured himself and got ready for his second attack when the Goblin king spoke.
"one".
"remember, you have two moves left, I suggest you use it wisely".
His deep voice had echoed through the forest.
The warriors who were going at each other, one by one halted any movements and shifted their attention to the Goblin king and the Orc lord.
It did not take long for all eyes to be on them as any further movement in the surrounding ceased.
The Orc lord felt overwhelmed as he felt his fellow Orcs eyes on him.
He most certainly cannot show a pathetic side of himself to his specie counting on him.
One strike, that is all he needs to prove himself to his subordinate Orcs.
The Orc lord ran towards the Goblin king and swung his club at him aiming for his head.
The Goblin king evaded it by bending his upper body backwards.
The Orc lord did not waver as he had already expected that to happen.
"job skill, indomitable warrior\'s spirit".
A skill that let\'s one overcome their limits granting them immense power.
One who can run fifty meters will become able to go five hundred meters.
A broke skill fitting of the Orc lord who has strived to surpass his limits after his defeat.
The Orc lord moved with more speed than he had the first time and changed the tragectory of his club from sideways to swinging it down at the Goblin king.
when he saw that he had been trapped, the Goblin king raised one of his hand and used it to guard against the club.
The club touched the Goblin king\'s hand and broke into pieces.
The Orc lord had lost his club but still has his body.
He clenched his fist and thrust it at the Goblin king.
"pow...."
The fist was easily caught in the middle of the Goblin king\'s palm.
"i believe the grace limit is up. It is my turn now".
with his right hand holding unto the Orc Lord\'s fist, the Goblin king swung his left hand and bashed a hole through the head of the Orc lord.
"this is exactly why I gave you three tries".
He said as he withdraws his blood coated hand from the head of the dead Orc lord.
"what are you all doing?..."
"did I give any of you an order to stop your attack on the savages?".
He questioned the Goblins who had abandoned their mission to watch their king in action.
"resume at once if you do not wish to end up this way".
"slay them all, savour your victory in the incapacitation of their heads".
The Goblins hastily resumed their fight with the Orcs.
The Orcs however had now lost all hopes to continue fighting when their leader had been done in.
They all ran for their lives with screams following behind them.
"chase them down and live none alive. We will not return until the bodies of all Orcs is accounted for".
