lv 1 skeleton

chapter 43

Flap!

Valenor spread out her wings, hovering over Arin’s position.

“Arin, what’s going on here?”

“I’m glad you are here my Lord, I tried to send you a message but I became too absorbed in the show..”

Pointing ahead Arin was indicating at the attackers. They looked liked strange beasts, neither human or orc.

‘Gnoss, what are those?’

‘They are Chimeras, the result of a fusion experiment between a human and beast. They are a biological weapon created by the Balkan empire to the north.

“Interesting….”

Those fusioned creatures showed a movement speed and power superior to most humans. Despite only being a dozen of them, they were easily sweeping away this entire Orc tribe.

The rank of most orcs was about F+, whereas those chimeras were in the E- to E range. This was enough of a gap to allow them to terrorize these superior numbers. Of course Arin could have put up a good fight, but if they were to have hurt her I would have crushed them into fine dust..

“These orcs are just being attacked too easily. The plan was to bring them back to the Pit alive, but they are so weak that i felt we should let them undergo some natural selection.”

I feel afraid of her cold judge. Arin was quick to judge because of her insect nature. In her eyes only strength mattered.

Waaaah!

The orc child in my arm began wailing, perhaps in tune with the plight of his people.

“Arin didn’t you have orders to protect them?”

“I apologize Lord, I will do so now.”

“No, nevermind”

I stopped Arin from interfering. I was now interested in the strength of these creatures and wished to test them out myself.

They still hadn’t noticed our presence as we were about 1 kilometer behind them. Not to mention that they were too busy harassing the stragglers of the tribe.

“Valenor let’s circle around and stealthily descend from above them. Arin, you take this child. If it cries then just feed it some nectar.”

“Ah yes… is this an orc baby?”

I nodded my head as I left the child in Arin’s arms.

“Valenor make sure to keep your distance, I want to test them a bit.”

“I understand”

Flap!

“Levitation!”

I hovered in the air, approaching the chimeras who were still chasing the Totem orc tribe.

“Run, run pig monsters!”

“Captain why don’t we just finish them once and for all?”

“No, we lost 5 good men when we assaulted their camp, this is our revenge for our comrades!”

Sneaking up on them from behind, I listened in to their conversations without being discovered.

“Hey guys, sorry to say but I’ve had my eyes on these orcs so I won’t be handing them over to you.”

“Wha…what are you?”

“A flying golden skeleton? A mage?”

“No it’s a Lich!”
