Orcs Vs Zombies

The Orcs whiffed the air with their big noses.

"There!" One of them instantly pointed in Felix's direction, causing the other two to tense up.

Felix stared and they... glared back!

Three in total. Pink-skinned and large noses. Pig-like faces.

They stood on two legs, their fat bellies bloated out, their privates covered with some kind of hide, showing they at least had some sense of... shame.

Their yellow eyes flashed intelligence as they scrutinized Felix and Seth.

There was a scavenged animal between them, it resembled an ordinary boar. It wasn't big, even smaller than the Orcs who were almost about adult human size.

Their muscles were packed, their pig paws stained in blood.

"Zombies?" One of them muttered in confusion.

"Strange... Hey! Hey! I have an idea! Let's kill them and leave their bodies here! Maybe its mother will think they killed the baby boar and died from the boar's resistance."

"Good idea. Good idea." The other two nodded their hairless heads and started oinking.

"Let us kill them. Quick!" One of them urged and went down on all fours. Its feet bashed against the soft ground as it snickered while glaring at Felix.

[You might want to summon your weapon.]

'Oh! Weapon!' Felix blinked his eyes and suddenly, the Inventory tab appeared in front of him. He grinned and touched the spiked club.

The club stirred the air and instantly began to fall but surprisingly, Felix's hands rushed forward and grabbed it tightly. He took a batter's pose and lifted his club high.

[Seems all those hours of training didn't go to waste.]

The Orc rushing towards him with its spit-coated tongue flailing out of his mouth merely frowned, not bothering much with how the club suddenly appeared from thin air.

After all, "Pfft! Killing zombies is easy! They're shit-heads!"

'1, 2, and,' A countdown started in his head, seeing the distance between them shorten, and right when the Orc was in his reach, he moved, 'Go!' The spiked club flung forward and bashed into the Orc's head.

Felix chuckled and muttered aloud, 'Pig-head! No lose from pig-head! Gigi!'

Meanwhile, the Orcs that had started charging at Felix without even blinking at where Seth had suddenly vanished too, frowned.

"Guhui! How dare you injure Guhui, Zombie? I will kill you!" One of the Orcs flared up and stood tall on two legs.

And silently, like the grim reaper, Seth's hand made a beautifully practiced curve.

[Ding! Seth has injured and engaged an Orc!]

Surprisingly, Seth's dagger didn't sever through the Orc's thick skin, instead, it only made a slight wound on its neck.

"Guiii!" The Orc squealed and jumped forward, its paw covering its bleeding neck.

Felix blinked... he pulled back the spiked club but, 'Why... so difficult?'

As Felix exerted more strength, the club swung back- splitting the air due to the force Felix had to exert.

"GUIII!!!" The dumbfounded Orc instantly reacted and jumped back. A few small holes appeared on his face that caused some bleeding but the meager blood pouring out proved they didn't stretch deep in the skin.

Felix blinked his eyes, 'Orc... strong?'

"I WILL MURDER YOU!" The Orc roared and started rushing towards Felix.

As it charged forward, a crazed light glinted in Felix's eyes, 'Orc strong! Orc... Fun!' A chuckle escaped his lips before an all-out mad thrill of this exciting battle coursed through his body.

"GIGIGIGIGIGI!" Like a beast slowly being unleashed, Felix started to step toward the mad Orc.

And little by little, his speed shot up.

"GUIIIIIII!!" The Orc leaped up, its yellow eyes lit up in rage as they glared from an inch away into Felix's eyes.

Its deadly paws charged forward, its mouth stretched back into a hideous grin, "DIEEE!!"

Felix's club hung atop the Orcs face, his palms squeezed tight around the club. His arms trembling from the strength waiting to erupt from within them.

His eyes burned from the craze of a good fight, his seething emotions gushed out of his mouth in the most primitive of ways, "GRRRRRRRRR!!"

The Orcs and Seth halted in fright, the deafening roar numbed their brains, causing it to echo non-stop in their ears. They felt a spark of fear ignite for this undead and along with it... the spark of the battle.

[Congratulations! You have gained Club Mastery(Level:1)]

The Orc's fist blasted into Felix's ribs, hurling him back some steps.

"Grr!" Felix groaned, his eyes squinted tightly. He nearly tripped due to the weight of the club.

'Strong. Orc is strong! Orc is...' Felix's lips stretched back to his ears, "Poo-wer!"

The Orc screeched and dashed forward again.

The two Orcs, along with Seth, who had momentarily been stunned by the terrifying roar that had erupted from Felix snapped out of the fear gripping their hearts.

"Gui! Gui, gui!" One of the Orcs' snorted and looked away, "I-I actually felt fear for a second."

The other nodded, "Me too. Me too."

Seth nodded as well. They were wide open, time to claim a life!

He sneakily rushed next to the oblivious Orcs and slashed at the one whom he had slightly injured earlier.

The dagger dug a few inches into the pink flesh before facing a tough resistance from the skin.

Seth frowned, his dagger trembled a bit from the strength he was exerting, but he still failed to get deeper.

The Orc's blood rushed to its head from the sudden fear and pain that assaulted it again, he screeched like a mad beast and slammed his elbow into Seth's waist.

"Gui! Gui!" He huffed deeply and hatefully stared at Seth, "Sneaky Zombie! How dare you injure me!?" His paws shook from fear. His mind screamed, 'Gui! I-I could've died!'

It wasn't that he was scared. The Orcs just possessed inherent cowardice in their DNA.

The Orc's eyes trembled a bit from fear and it glanced to its side and pointed towards Seth, "Quick brother! Go kill the zombie!"

"Gui!? M-Me? No! L-let's go together!" The Orc steadied himself and proposed a good suggestion.

"Gui but... isn't he going to require more assistance?" The Orc scratched its head and gazed at the one engaging Felix.

"Gui! Tr-"

Seth rushed forward and pierced into the Orc's neck again.

His trained hand accurately punctured into the same cut for the third time. His dagger inched closer and closer to the windpipe... and the pig's death.

The Orc, given a fright for its life, punched Seth but as if the latter had already expected it, he swiftly maneuvered away.

"You go," The Orc wryly touched the deepening cut on its neck, its yellow bead size eyes glinted in ferocity.

His teeth gritted together in rage and hatred "I will handle this pest!" He slammed his chest and rushed forward. "Gui! Gui gui!"

Orcs indeed had inherent cowardice but in the hierarchy of monsters... they didn't rank low.

Why? Because when driven to death's corner... Orcs grew... into a totally different kind of beast.

According to a myth, the reason Orcs grew stronger when driven to near death was also due to their cowardly nature.

When they knew death was near, the same cowardice drove them to struggle like a wild animal... getting butchered.
