Metallic Rogue

Battle Royale {II}-{Battle Orcs And Battle Intents}

Jayden snapped out of his daze a bit faster than the two Orcs who watched Jayden bisect a race known for their superior strength to the pink skins.

(AN: Orcs call humans Pink Skins)

Jayden jumped off the Orc using the spider limbs to gain a stable footing.

The Orc slid apart, one side falling to the side, the crash of the body woke the two Orcs from their daze.

'Sure they must have given me problems because of their Battle affinity, but the healer Orc won't have if not for his way of using his magic. This two Orcs though' Jayden stared at the two Orcs that were in his range of attack. 'I can tell they are different, they looked to have been having fun, but seeing that I have ended the live of one of their brethrens right under their watch, they'll take me serious now.' And as if jinxing himself, the two Orcs erupted with a bloodthirsty aura.

Jayden was pushed back by the aura and he had to abort the attack and put some distance between them to analyze the Orcs better.

The fighters in the Arena had already made circles of their own, fighting in their own unofficial personal space.

The Orc with the shield had a red violent aura that revolved around him. The aura condensed mostly around his shield, making it more stronger, sturdier and durable. Jayden could tell from the energy he was seeing with Energy Sight.

Jayden could clearly see the outlines of the red aura coating the shield, and when he looked closely, he could see a thread connecting from his chest, to several parts of his body.

His head had the most threads connected to it and its uses were shown immediately.

The two Orcs that had their Battle ability activated, instantly crossed the distance between them, much faster than before and brandished their weapons, the Orc with the Great Sword that had his own blackish aura condensed on his sword, swung his sword with finesse -something that most brutes lacked-.

Jayden jumped back to leave the swords range, but out from the sword, a black sharp crescent shaped attack shot out and chased after Jayden's retreating figure. Jayden tried to raise his hands to defend himself,but he was a second late as the attack crashed into his chest, making his chest cave in and the air in his lungs get expelled.

Jayden with his defence that was as strong as the second years, felt like a piece of paper that had been hit with a hammer. He coughed out blood, but the blood just splashed back on his face, Jayden gritted his teeth in anger and confusion and landed on his feets with the help of the spider limbs.

From behind, the large shield rammed into him, it was a good thing that the rectangular shield didn't have a sharp spike protruding from it like the other shield he saw. Nonetheless, it was as painful as hell.

Jayden could see the attacks coming, but for some reasons, he couldn't react in time, it felt like a presence was weighing him down.

"Hohohoho, you're not so tough as we thought. Just one second of facing our Battle Intent Techniques and you're already like... this. A broken doll." The shield Orc said with a deep voice.

Jayden felt his ego -that he had managed to build after getting his powers- get trashed brutally. Jayden gritted his teeth but soon calmed himself.

'You can't see anything in a boiling water, but when it's calm you can see what's beneath it.' Jayden thought to himself, this was a rhyme he said sometimes to calm down whenever he was about to loose himself to rage.

'Battle Intent Techniques?!!! Battle Intent? Where have I heard that before?'

'Battle Intent, Battle Intent, Battle Intent, Battle Intent.'

"That's it, Battle Intent, Killing Intent, Hunters Intent, Hunters Domain, Bloodthirst, Death Aura. They're all the same thing with different names!!! The last time I checked, killing intent has a negative side effect to its targets, the most known effect is that the target has a hard time reacting to things, the weaker the target, the stronger the effect of the killing intent, and the only way to counter a killing intent is to have a killing intent that's on par with the opponents, orrr....

....have a stronger one.

As soon as Jayden finished his soliloquy, a dark sinister aura filled with the vile and evil things that beasts possessed, erupted from his being like raging tsunami, it carried an invisible force that weighed down on everything fifteen meters around him, and encompassed everything in a dark misty veil.

"I've been holding it in all along, this rage, that made me enter another state when in battle, this is what it has turned into." Jayden said, his purple eyes glowing in the darkness of his terrifying killing intent.

"Welcome to my domain." Jayden muttered to himself, but his voice, by some otherworldly means, traveled to the far coners of the arena alerting all the fighters and causing them to feel a cold shiver, run down their spine.

Jayden moved and appeared by the side of the Orc with the shield. "This favor, I'm returning gratefully." Jayden whispered in the Orcs ear, making him shudder and his large legs turn to jelly, but before he could fall to the ground, the darkness around him turned darker, and he fell into the embrace of death, his head, popped like a balloon from a punch from Jayden.

The Orc with the sword, swung it out widely, hoping to hit Jayden, his senses had been dulled, his energy was being drained rapidly and he could not remember where he was, his sense of direction was toyed with by the ferocious aura, and lastly, he was getting scared.

Fear, the last emotion that could be found in an Orc was slowly seeping into his body in the form of a dark cold mist. His perverted sense of direction didn't help with that, he couldn't tell of he was laying down, standing up, or even floating midair. He just felt confused and afraid.

"COME OUT AND FACE ME, STOP HIDING LIKE A COWARD!!!!" The Orc taunted.

"Who told you I was hiding?" A soft whisper drifted into the terrified Orcs ears.

"Why would I hide from weaklings." This time the voice came from the Orcs front and what he saw finally made his courage crack and break like a weak mirror.

Ahead of him was a ten meters tall humanoid creature made purely of black lusterless metal. It had four thick spike protruding from its back like a spiders limbs, and it's hands were sickle like and long.

The Orcs survival instincts kicked in, he turned around and flew as fast as his legs could carry him.

Alas, it was of no use

The Orc suddenly felt weightlessness, caused by the creature waving one of its sickle like arms and seperating his head from his body.

The head less corpse fell to the ground, while the head, carried by the momentum, rolled out of the sinister aura, to the foot of another Orc warrior.
