Chapter 25 Part B

Thanks for your support for this work.

"Ahh, I didn't know you could do that. Isn't that cheating?" the girl's voice said pouting again. "I didn't know you could strip their weapons in the dimensional pocket here. Orcs aren't very smart anyway though. But at least you've kept me entertained," she said tiredly and I picked up a yawn. Sure enough I could still feel the orc's sword on my belt. It wasn't dissolving like the dead orc.

"Who are you?" I called out, keeping my grip steady on my weapon. I wanted to try a peaceful negotiation, but someone who made orcs chase you forced you to be alert.

No answer to my question, but the voice did respond about ten seconds later.

"Maybe that one was too small. You outsmarted that one but he was just a lowly runt sized grunt. That was the first orc I found in the boss orc's memories you know? It was the friend he killed to have his first real meal as a warrior as a youngling. The orcs raise their babies to kill each other to enter manhood when they don't have enough food too. But they aren't as interesting as other creatures so I probably can't tell you much more than that. If you don't kill, then you don't climb ranks in their society. Bet you didn't know that huh? Should I send something bigger this time?" she said with a bit too much excitement.

I swore in frustration and then ran to the stairs.

Just as I'd gotten to the top part of the stairs sure enough she'd summoned another orc. But this orc wasn't like the others. He was a good foot taller, looked meaner and with bigger teeth and muscles. As soon as he saw me then he screamed some battle cry and charged at me with his full strength. I discovered he was running faster somehow too, and with more zealousness.

I didn't like this. He looked more dangerous. The other little one didn't look half this scary!

He hit the stairs fast enough, and I was saved by the fact that the stairs forced him to not run up them as he was going after me. I could then use the top part of the balcony's edge for more footing and swing at him. The incline also helped to slow down his mass and inertia because his feet were so big. With the narrowness of the stairs he was slowed down considerably with his swinging too, and forced to fight clumsier.

"************* *** ******" the orc spoke something this time and I nearly froze.

It's true I didn't understand it. But he'd clearly said something and even gestured to me in a friendly like manner. It looked like he was trying to shake my hand. This surprised me too. I'd thought the orcs were all dumb animals, but he'd tried to establish contact.

I was about to lower my guard thinking he was trying to parley with me when he suddenly swung out with a big club that smashed into the balcony rail, sending splinters of wood everywhere. I barely got out of the way in time. I dodged again, and again, realizing it was a mistake to try to talk to him. Furthermore, some of the wood splinters had stung me in the cheek, and my skin felt numb but at least wasn't bleeding very much.

The girl's voice was now laughing at me for awhile, until I then swing the steel axe with all my strength and it broke through the orc's club and clipped part of his arm. Unfortunately it wasn't a grave enough wound to limit the use of his arm, but it did scare him.

He said something else in that strange language and then tried to trick me, then tried to fake going to run left but went right. I almost fell for it but jumped back at the last second as he tried to grapple me for my weapon. He then swung out and tried to kick me so I dodged it and kicked him instead in the other knee, where his balance was currently resting on. He recovered and picked himself up quicker than I liked.
