I started by attacking with a feint and appearing in front of the wraith afterward, but my hands went directly through him!Shuria shook his head as he looked at me and pointed two fingers at me. I could feel three daggers being impaled in my chest as I coughed out nothing. Since we were in my mental place, there was no blood to be coughed here, but I felt that the surroundings started to shake after I had taken those spectral daggers to the chest.Which meant that my mental palace would break down if my apparition here was damaged too much, I wasn't sure if the wraith would be free if that happened, but I didn't want to find out.I concentrated on my energy and sent it to my soul as I charged an elemental ball that I threw at Shuria, only for him to snort as he taunted:"Elemental energy against an elf? Your technique lacks any finesse, it's so basic that even a 5-year-old elf would be able to do better!"He deflected the energy ball, but what he didn't expect was for a bunch of dark
After I lost consciousness, my soul wandered for a while before Ludeus connected me with the wraith's mental space, making me appear in the same foggy place just like before.This time around, there were many cracks in the sky, and I could feel that the sun behind it was slowly poking its head out.I wasn't sure if this meant the wraith was getting weaker, or stronger.I concentrated my energy, to scan the surroundings, and I found Shuria skulking on the ground, seemingly not realizing that I have connected to his mindscape once again.He was pretty weakened, and I could feel that there was also something wrong with him, which was the best situation for me.I stealthily approached him from behind as I thrust my hand through his chest, grabbing ahold of his heart and squeezing it tightly, this should be the place where his true soul lay.However, an electric current mixed with a toxic sharp breeze hit me from the front as Shuria's neck moved until his head faced me, even though his bod
I nodded at Ludeus's question and said:"I have complete control over the wraith now, I have gained all of his techniques, and I'm ready to go, shall we?"Ludeus immediately created a cloud beneath our feet as we soared up through the trees in the swamp before making our way toward the Duramato continent border.The speed we used was as quick as the one that took us to the swamp, and it didn't take us more than three hours to arrive at the border.Nothing was separating the human continent from the orc's continent, mostly because the orcs never showed signs of invasion, and secondly, the humans thought that even if the orcs invaded, they didn't need to separate the continents with any defensive wall that would take tons of resources because they thought that the orcs wouldn't be strong enough to get past the defensive region which we passed the way to here.It was pretty dumb, but humans were very lax these days, the Churches warred amongst themselves, so they didn't have time to thin
I snuck amidst the unconscious bodies of the drunk orcs as I made my way through their village, getting closer to the seemingly older orcs who had many battle scars on their bodies.I approached one of these old orcs and grabbed him by the head as my skin glowed a soft grey-silver and I woke him up as the wraith went to work, dominating his weakened will due to the alcohol that was running rampant through his body, making him my puppet in no more than two seconds.The elder orc did wake up, but he was still drunk,"*Hicc*, who is this? Master?"He also seemed to be slurring his words as I gave him a tight slap and created some elemental water energy that I splashed his face with, making him slightly sober as he fell onto one knee and said:"New master, good master!"His vocabulary was somewhat limited, but I understood what he was saying, when I questioned him about the whereabouts of a war chief, a scared expression overtook his face as he said:"I.. Warthog doesn't know where war ch
The Snake Hunter's tribe was just in front of me. They had a giant wall made of dark stone that protected their city from the attacks of beasts, and there was also the addition of quite a lot of guards that were standing around the entrances to the city to ward off any scattered desert monstrosities that haven't been picked up by the archers which I could see were surveying the lands from the towers made above the walls.The orcs were dumb, but that didn't mean they didn't have the potential to learn, and it was obvious here that whoever created this city could be considered to be a genius among the orcs.He would be a great addition to my army here on the Duramato continent.The orcs that I subjugated aren't smart, and they would be only good to follow orders, but having more than one man that can give the orders would make the potential of my army even higher. I needed generals, not grunts.But for that to happen, I needed to infiltrate this fortress made of dark stone first.I coul
The Orc was agile and knew his ins and outs in combat, but his size still made him an easier target and somewhat messed with his flexibility. Thus, I was able to capitalize on that and get ahold of his chest before ramming my head into his chin multiple times until he became dizzy. The problem was that this tall Orc finally snapped and got angry after I made his world spin around him. He roared and started trashing around, using his impressive physique to destroy the buildings around him and due to a moment of my carelessness, he even was able to hit me in the leg, slightly making it bend awkwardly, showing that the Orc's strength was very high if it was able to injure me in such a way through my tempered body's defenses. His physical strength was too high, and he was too enraged to dodge any of my attacks, but he was seemingly a mountain of a being as he took on all of my ranged attacks without flinching and started to charge toward me. I was able to dodge out of the way at the
After I finished settling things and dominating the whole Snake Hunters tribe, I was ready to hit the dusty desert road once again to make my way through this continent and reach the next city.Gurkug had to stay here to protect the city from possible Orc invaders, and I didn't want to lose the city so soon, so I had to let him stay since he was the strongest combatant in the city at the moment.I transmitted a message to the small orc village that I captured that they could come to the city and settle there as they were also controlled by me, the path I had taken was already pretty bare of desert monsters, so they could take that path and arrive at the city in one piece to reinforce its guards.The village orcs weren't that strong, but there was always strength in numbers for the orcs.I left the city behind me as I took one more glance back at it before my body disappeared into the sandstorm that just started revving up in the distance.The sandstorm was quite strong as the wind att
The Orc's combat power was rather high as he was able to use basic swordsmanship, combined with the bodily strength of an Orc gave him quite a confidence boost against me. He was throwing small slashes all over the place, which gave me a hard time dodging in the closed space which was the tavern, the other Orcs started shouting and laughing as they continued drinking and cheering the fight on, enjoying the show.The Orc looked me up and down as he tightened the grip on his hook sword and said:"What are you? You are no Orc, fair pinkish skin, and a good-looking face."The Orc let the tip of his tongue come out as he licked his lips and said:"I will enjoy cutting that face open and eating the skin."The Orc's words attracted more cheering from the crowd behind me as I shook my head and unsheathed my blade before we met in the middle, sword against sword.The material my sword was made from was of high quality, while his sword was already rusting, so it was obvious what was going to ha
