Chapter 17 - Orc Killer

The orc charged at me again, its movements were getting more and more precise. I had tried to use the sword to block some of its attacks but it didn't work, it was easily able to push the sword away.

Ella stood back up and signaled something to me.

What the fuck are you signaling?

She motioned her hands and waved a finger around.

Huh? Are you joking or something?

I continued to dodge the incoming attacks, just barely.

I was getting slower? No, it was getting faster. Orcs are fucking strong.

I wasn't going to last much longer; I could feel his attacks graze my skin.

The orc made another big slam down attack, which caused another dust explosion.

At that time, Ella appeared behind it and slashed at its legs.

She didn't cut all the way through but it was enough to immobilize it for a few dozen seconds, and slow it down.

Ella and I got together.

We were both out of breath.

"Do you have any plans?" I asked. Its skin was thick, there was no way I could slice its head or any body part off.

"We have to slice its head off."

"Yeah, but how?"

"Can you keep him distracted?"

"Barely."

"Give me some time, I'll enhance my strength."

Enhance your strength? What are you, taking steroids?

"How long?"

"2 minutes."

"Okay."

The orc was back at its feet and charged at us.

Its eyes were focused on me so I went away from Ella.

We were staring each other down; Ella had her eyes closed and was in a stance.

I sighed.

"Hey, fuck-face."

The orc looked confused

"Yeah, you, fuckwit. Are you dumb or something? Who else is here?"

The best way to fight was to piss off your opponent, though I had no idea if an orc would understand me.

"Are you just going to sit there, looking dumb? You weak bitch, you haven't even hit me once yet."

The orc started to look mad, could it really understand me? Works out for me.

"What are you getting pissy for? Are you mad? Why? I'm just stating the obvious."

The orc started to charge me; its attacks were less precise than before but way more deadly.

Its strength had increased.

Fucking hell. That'll hurt... But now, it's dead set on me, Ella should easily be able to sneak up behind it when she's ready.

It was easier to dodge the attacks now, albeit way more deadly if I mess up, I should be fine.

2 minutes had passed and I was getting tired.

"Hey, fuck-face. Do you have infinite stamina or something? Did you take Viagra?"

It charged at me again. He had made a big swing that caused another dust explosion, and just like before Ella was behind it.

She had a reddish glow around her sword.

The Orc was still focused on me, so I thought she'd easily be able to slice its neck off now...

…

Except, that wasn't the case.

I could just barely see through the dust, but the Orc had started to smile.

It turned around and swung at Ella with his club, it sent her flying.

What the fuck.

The dust cleared up and we were facing each other again, but this time it was smiling and gesturing with its hands to 'come at me.'

It was taunting me.

Hah, shit, I might be fucked. It wasn't dumb. Did it really purposefully act like it was all mad and slow down its attacks? Orcs are fucking scary.

"Hey fuck-face."

The orc looked at me and tilted its head.

"Do you have honor?"

I dropped my sword and got into a stance.

Using a sword would only fuck me over, I had no clue how to use one. If it didn't drop its club than it'd be dangerous.

Luckily it dropped its club. Did it really have honor?

It charged at me again, it was way easier to dodge his attacks. It'd be way less bad if I got hit now too, though, I'd still probably get tossed pretty far.

I swiftly went in after dodging one of his punches and threw a punch at its stomach; It didn't do shit. It felt like I was punching a wall. The Orc threw another punch and it connected with my left arm.

I was thrown a few feet to the right, but I was still standing.

Fuck... That hurts.

"Your punch was weaker than a newborn, you weak ass."

It didn't seem to fall for my taunts anymore, as it rushed the same way as before.

It threw a straight, it hadn't thrown one of those yet so I was caught off guard but I was able to lean back and dodge.

Shit... It was like I was facing one of the Four Demons. Those motherfuckers were so strong that even if 100 people ganged up on one of them, they'd win. Except, this Orc fuck was stronger.

I had fought one of them before but it ended in a draw.

I backed up so I had a few seconds to breath, I looked towards where Ella was and she was standing with her sword in the ground.

Shit, can't you move and help me out?

Hah, probably not, she got hit with that monstrous strength.

The orc started to rush me again.

"Good thing you have honor."

I said while dodging his attacks.

"Now! Slice his head off!" I shouted.

The orc quickly looked behind him. Ella was still standing where she was.

I jumped on his back and pulled out a dagger.

"Cause I don't have any, you dumbfuck."

I figured his skin would be too strong to pierce, so I jabbed the dagger into his eye.

It let out a monstrous shriek but I didn't stop, slightly tilting the dagger upward I had hoped to reach his brain.

The Orc tried to throw me off, but I stuck on. He rammed me into a wall, but I stuck on.

After a few dozen seconds the Orc had stopped moving, and started to fall forwards.

It was dead.
