Five orc warriors pounced at Jared, swinging their battle axes at him.

    Facing these orcs, Jared snorted as he waved his sword, blocking and deflecting their axes with incomparable precision.

    Clang! Clang! Clang!

    With a series of quick slashes, the five orc warriors fell.

    He then looked at the Orc General who was staring at him with a twisted smile. It was as if the beast didn''t care about its comrades'' death.

    "Human..." Much to Jared''s surprise, the Orc General suddenly spoke in the common language.

    Even among the orcs, only a few could speak the common tongue. This means that this particular Orc General had a high status.

    "Are you challenging me, Uluk Ar?" The mocking tone was evident in its voice. It was obvious that it didn''t take Jared too seriously.

    The intimidating aura of the Orc General was so heavy. Jared could feel his horse shaking from the immense pressure. It was feeling an instinctive fear toward a predator.

    Jared didn''t respond to the Orc General. He just pointed his sword at the monster which made it reveal a look of fury.

    With a heavy stomp, the Orc General lunged at him while brandishing its massive battle axe.

    Whoosh!

    A tearing sound echoed as its axe tore through the air. It even created a powerful shockwave that caused a violent explosion.

    Bang!

    Jared managed to evade the axe, but the shockwave made his horse stumble and fall to the ground.

    Argh!

    Jared groaned as he hastily picked himself up. He looked at his horse, but he discovered that it had passed out from shock. Left with no choice, Jared could only fight without it.@@@@

    At this moment, more orc warriors rushed at him, their deep and beastly roars fell into his ears.

    Clang! Clang!

    Puchi! Puchi!

    Clang! Clang!

    Puchi! Puchi!

    He looked around and quickly noticed that the Orc General had caught up to him!

    The monster''s eyes were blood-red, looking incredibly furious that it had allowed its prey to escape.

    "Fuck!"

    Jared cursed under his breath. He knew that retreating was useless at this point. If he lured this beast to the town, the other warriors would only be implicated. How could a proud warrior like him drag others down? His pride wouldn''t allow such inhuman behavior.

    So I have to fight it, huh? Then so be it!

    Having found the determination to fight, Jared regained his composure. He tightly held his sword while keeping an eye on the approaching Orc General.

    "Human coward! I will feast on your flesh after I crush your bones!" The monster roared as it charged at him.

    Jared didn''t just stand there. He rushed at the monster while carefully observing its movements so the moment it would attack, he would be ready to dodge.

    In that instant, the Orc General swung its battle axe in a downward motion, intending to squash the cowardly human with one ferocious force.

    Jared had already anticipated this. He made a quick turn, twisting his body to dodge the fatal blow.

    Bang!

    Snow and mud splashed in all directions after the beast''s axe struck the ground hard.

    Jared didn''t waste this opportunity. He lunged at the monster and stabbed his sword towards its head.

    Hm?!

    However, the Orc General suddenly shifted its head which caused him to miss his intended target. Even so, his sword penetrated deeply into the monster''s chest.

    "Foolish human!" The Orc General snorted and grabbed him like he was a toy before throwing his body into the ground with heavy force.

    Bang!

    Jared smashed into the ground, his body embedding deeply like a hammered nail.

    Argh! Cough!

    Blood trickled down his lips as he coughed violently.

    His vision was blurred by his own blood, but he could still see the Orc General staring at him with unconcealed contempt.
