Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 383 : Orc Chieftain

[Warning]

[Mana crystals can prove to be dangerous for the user]

[Would you like to exchange the crystals for some random equivalent items?]

[Yes\\No]

Wei Jun looked at the notifications that had appeared when he killed the two orcs. They had both given him two A rank mana crystals. Wei Jun was familiar with the miasma cores but there was nothing like mana crystals before so Wei Jun had to guess it was meant for mages.

[I wouldn't recommend doing so]

'Why not?' Wei Jun asked.

[Do you remember the knight you faced when you just arrived in this world?]

'Yeah.' Wei Jun replied.

[He had the purest of aura]

[Like mine from the old times]

[The aura nowadays is however thin]

[Most affected due to their cultivation techniques]

[Same stands for mana and the Qi]

[I recommend giving those crystals to your mage friends]

[It'd skyrocket the purity of their mana]

Wei Jun remained silent but just simply nodded while he rejected the system's request to do so. With that, he checked the quest progress.

[Ice Orcs captured 3\\50]

[Ice Orcs shamans captured 0\\2]

[Ice Orc Chieftain captured 0\\1]

Wei Jun let out a lengthy exhale before he prepared himself to move to the other party. There was still plenty of his Death Qi left and now that he knew of how to deal with the orcs, Wei Jun decided to pick up the speed to capture as many orcs as he could while he decided to just kill the rest.

~~

After about another half a day, Wei Jun finally managed to kill all the orc hunting parties. Except for the first two, Wei Jun didn't let another orc die once he knew how to deal with them. It was difficult to do so initially given their coordination and strength, but once he got used to it, there wasn't anything difficult about it.

Once he was done with the killing, Wei Jun simply scoped out the camp instead of going inside. He had time so he decided to make the most of it and decided to be smart about it instead of being hasty and storming the camp full of orcs.

That night when the hunting parties didn't return, Wei Jun spotted unrest inside of the camp. There were orcs moving around inside the camo until he saw about thirty orcs leave the camp in parties of ten, making it three parties in total. They carried torches in their hands and weapons of different kinds but what stood out the most was a robbed hooded figure in one of the parties carrying a cane with a crystal on top of it.

Wei Jun had a good guess it was the infamous orc shaman that the system quest mentioned. Wei Jun made sure to notice the orc shaman to the best of his ability but the need for battle didn't seem to arise for the orc shaman.

There were other creatures in the mountain such as wild animals or being like they were made of wood or something like that, but none of them were stronger than the orcs. The orc shaman didn't need to even fight before the battle would be over in an instant when the orc warriors took charge of the battle.

Wei Jun decided to go over to the other orcs who were also searching for the hunting parties. Wei Jun headed straight into the battle until dawn approached and Wei Jun took deep breaths as he stood before the unconscious orcs. Twenty orcs in one night and ten at once was a bit too much even for Wei Jun.

Also when the objective wasn't to kill them but to knock them out so some magical vortex could suck them in.

Yet, even after all that, Wei Jun wasn't confident he'd be able to fight the orc shamans without knowing the full extent of their abilities. All the more so when they were surrounded by orcs who were also very strong.

Wei Jun kept his eyes on the orc shaman, looking for any opportunity to attack but none arrived even when dawn arrived.

'It seems like I'll have to create one.' Wei Jun decided inwardly and ran away, waiting for the daylight to prevail. It wasn't until well bright that the orcs returned back to the camp only to find no other party other than them return.

Wei Jun could see the unrest present in the party and was sure the next party would be a lot more than just them but he was mistaken because no orc left the camp for about an hour or so before he spotted movement once again, but once again inside the camp.

Wei Jun saw five orcs in hooded robes gathered in the middle of the camp. He also witnessed some orcs bringing some furry animals and they began to kill them. Once all the animals were dead, they gathered them all in the middle and the five orc shaman surrounded them.

The orc shamans began to chant something until the bodies began to levitate and float in the air.

[Umm... Host]

'What?' Wei Jun asked.

[You might wanna step away]

[Far away]

[Right now]

Wei Jun didn't hesitate and jumped in the air, running as far away from the area as he could. Unfortunately, it was too late as a shockwave emitted from the middle of the camp and covered a set radius in the surroundings, him included.

Just as the light wave passed him, Wei Jun didn't feel much of a difference or anything else happened to him but that was the least of his concerns when the system yelled.

[Host, move!]

Wei Jun's senses screamed almost at the same time and Wei Jun moved to the side and something landed in the place he was just standing.

A strong wind pressure assaulted him, pushing him back a little. The power and strength of the individual who had just landed close to him could be felt from the sheer pressure from the shockwave that was emitted.

Wei Jun looked at the said figure and as expected, it was an orc. Just it was bigger than all the rest he had defeated, almost two feet taller than them and on the buffer side.

The most striking feature, however, was...

"Ki ha nak to hi saa."

[So you're the one killing my kin]

"Kata to sak haak."

[Now prepare to die]

Wei Jun immediately brought both of his daggers out and put as much of Death Qi as he could inside of them. Just as he brought them forward in a cross formation, the heavy axe in the hand of the giant orc that appeared out of nowhere fell on him, colliding with his daggers.

"Kugh!"

Wei Jun's knees trembled under the intense pressure from the orc's attack. Wei Jun managed to keep standing but he was sure had he been a little late or not input that much of his power, then his knees would not have only collapsed, but that axe would have also cleaved him in half.

Wei Jun managed to keep standing but there was no moment of relief as the orc raised the axe in its hands again, bringing it down with more power than before.

Wei Jun tried his best to dodge and moved to the side but the orc was as swift as he was powerful. It immediately swung the axe mid-motion, changing the direction from a vertical slash to a horizontal one, slashing Wei Jun just at the right angle.

"What the..."

A single moment was all Wei Jun had to emit a shockwave of Death Qi, halting the attack of the orc just for a little while, just enough of a break for him to step back and jump out of the orc's attack radius.

But he knew full well how wide the orc's attack radius was given its swiftness and speed as before.

The orc chieftain, fortunately for Wei Jun, however, stopped.

"Ta aka chu tikh min." The orc spoke in a strange language and the system translated just like before.

[You fight well for a human]

"Chaha jak akun ma."

[Though you wield Death]

"Ni aa ma."

[I do too]

Wei Jun was momentarily surprised as he heard those words translated by the system but that wasn't the end of it when the orc began to emit something dark and smoky.

Wei Jun was stunned to feel the power, the familiar power the orc chieftain emitted. It was the same, yet different in a strange way.

It resembled...

"Guardian."

~~

[Sir, are you sure?]

"What do you mean?" A man in a black suit asked.

[The elder prince is going wild]

"Haha..." The man chuckled softly as he was reported on his elder son's antics. He had no reply to that statement but one, "Young blood, Anderssen. Young blood."

[But should he be playing like that?]

[It is 'time', after all]

"You underestimate him, Anderssen."

[Not at all]

[I know the elder prince wouldn't let things get out of hand]

"Not him." The man said once the voice that sounded around him but no source of it finished.

"My younger one."

"Everyone does."

"That's precisely why..."

The man paused as he looked into the distance, into the deep night of the city and the twinkling lights of the buildings spread all over the view, and said, "He always wins."
