[Luz stepped forward, her face pale with fear but filled with determination.]
LUZ: [firmly] Stay back! I'll try to break the barrier so we can get out!
[Luz summoned all her remaining strength, casting a powerful spell to disrupt the gate's barrier. The effort was immense, and as the spell took effect, a blinding light filled the dungeon. When it faded, Luz collapsed to her knees, her arms trembling with pain. The strain of the spell had taken a toll on her, leaving her temporarily weakened.]
AMITY: [rushing to Luz's side] Luz! Are you okay?!
LUZ: [weakly] I'm... I'm fine. But... we need to get out of here, now...
[But their hopes of escape were dashed when the porter, who had been watching the gate, shouted in terror.]
PORTER: [panicking] MORE HIGH ORCS ARE COMING BACK!!
[Out of the shadows, more High Orcs appeared, their eyes glowing with a sickly yellow light. One of the Orcs stepped forward, its body trembling as if possessed. Its eyes turned a bright yellow as it spoke in a deep, guttural voice.]
POSSESSED ORC: [ominously] Khrerak Tuu Sheenaah Weegroo Ahraknakah!
[The other High Orcs echoed the chant, their voices merging into a terrifying chorus that reverberated through the dungeon. One of the orcs, larger than the rest, stepped forward, its voice rumbling with authority.]
POSSESSED ORC: [struggling to speak] Humans... I am... Thulgar... I wish... to meet... with you... humans...
[The group froze in shock, their weapons still raised but their confidence shaken. An Orc speaking the human language was unheard of-impossible, even. Yet here they were, facing a creature that defied everything they knew.]
LUZ: [whispering in disbelief] An Orc... just spoke our language!
AMITY: [frowning] Could it be... magic? Is it some kind of dark spell?
[Francinilson, despite the fear gnawing at his insides, took a step forward, his eyes narrowing as he confronted the possessed Orc.]
FRANCINILSON: [demanding] Thulgar... were you the one that set up this barrier?
[The possessed Orc turned its glowing yellow eyes toward Francinilson, its voice a twisted blend of malice and pride.]
POSSESSED ORC (THULGAR): [boasting] Yes... I am the... prideful... Orc's... sorcerer. My magic... cannot be... dispelled... by you... humans...
[The weight of Thulgar's words pressed down on the group, especially on the cartoonish characters, whose strength seemed to wane under the Orc's malevolent influence. Their vibrant energy dimmed, leaving them vulnerable and frightened.]
SUHO: [gritting his teeth] This... isn't looking good...
HYDRO: [to himself] So, this is the one pulling the strings... Thulgar... If this must be like Kargalgan from Solo Leveling... Thul'gar must have the same personality to the Orc I've read in the manhwa! If I can defeat it... If only I can defeat it...
