CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN!
────a girl in need of saving.

❝ANSWER ME!❞

TWO ORCS GET CUT in half at the hands of shadow orcs and sun orcs

while the other high orc summons grabs the heads of the greens monsters and smashing them to the ground with merciless force, killing them.

the students watch in shock seeing the mysterious monsters protect them, a bit of hope fills them that they may get out of this alive.

jin-ah looks between the shadow and knight high orc warrior, recognizing who they belong to.

"did oppa and unnie come? oppa! unnie!" she calls, taking a step forward to see if they did arrive.

the two orcs stop her from moving and push her behind them. she looks up at them confused and they point to the hallway.

the sound of booming footsteps could be heard to signal that more orcs were coming to attack the kids.

───── ⋆⋅ ☽ ⋅⋆ ─────

THE ORC BOSS of the dungeon break, guroktaru began attacking the high orc summons warriors. the other orcs cheered for their boss as they watched the battle unfold.

the green chief orc cuts their arms and they fall back. "an orc's tattoos are symbols of victory. they're proof of how many enemies i've killed until now."

"it seems like the two of you have killed quite a few but is that all?" it mocks, eyeing their regenerating arms.

it charges at the summons with its curved blade. "keep entertained, high orc warriors!" the chief roars swinging down its blade but is blocked by knight and shadow orc.

it pushes through their block cuts the orcs in half only to find them regenerating momentarily.

no matter how hard it tried, the high orcs continued to regenerate. the chief looked at the summons, wondering if they were using a spell.

'i can kill them a 100 or even 1000 times easily. but...'

guroktaru clutches its head in pain, there was a voice repeatedly telling it a single order.

"KILL THE HUMANS."

it was getting worse by the second, he had to finish this fight now to relieve the pain.

its red glowing eyes land on jin-ah being protected by the shadow and knight high orc, guroktaru had to guess that she was behind these summoned warriors.

"THE GIRL! GRAB THAT GIRL!"

the chief orc orders his soldiers to attack the summons and restrict their movements allowing guroktaru to march over to the group of students.

"jin-ah it's dangerous!" song-i warns, trying to pull her friend away from the battle.

but it was too late.

the poor girl was grabbed by her face and lifted up into the air, tears rolled down her cheeks.

the green chief orc looks at her in disgust. "as i suspect it was you. i can sense the magic power." he growls as jin-ah tries to escape its grasp.

fear rises in her chest when it begins to clench harshly around her face, its glowing eyes narrowing at her.

"DIE."

───── ⋆⋅ ☽ ⋅⋆ ─────

THE PRESENCE FELT deadly and hot.

guroktaru sensed this presence and out of fear, he releases jin-ah. she falls to her knees, coughing, and song-i rushes to her to make sure she was okay.

the monster's instincts took over and it was screaming at him to run away. cause if he didn't...

he would most surely meet his end.

the cry of two dragons was heard alerting everyone in the area as to where it came from. one thing's for certain it was close.

"something... is coming. something terrifying." guroktaru whispers, his breath shaky.

he turns away to face his soldiers, wanting to flee from the area.

"BRACE FOR IMPACT!"

not a second later, there was an ear-shattering explosion. shards of glass and debris flew everywhere.

jin-ah coughs as she tries to recover from the dust and the way she was grabbed by the monster. then she opens her eyes when she feels two hands on her on top of her head.

"YOU'RE SAFE NOW."

the dust clears to reveal [y/n] and jin-woo arriving at the scene.

their aura was practically visible, it swirled around them dangerously.

guroktaru looks at the two hunters with a sweat, to say he was nervous would be an understatement.

"i am guroktaru, chieftain of the red blade—"

"you."

the two interject, raising their hands and pointing at him. they look at the monster, their eyes glowing threatening as their aura matched their mood.

"SHUT UP AND WAIT."

───── ⋆⋅ ☽ ⋅⋆ ─────

JIN-AH QUICKLY WRAPPED her arms around the two players, while they don't hesitate to do the same.

"it's okay now, jinnie. you're safe." [y/n] whispers to the girl, her voice warm and comforting in hopes to coax the scared girl.

"oppa! unnie!" she cries, snuggling her face into their shirts, utterly relieved that they were here to save her.

the couple's heart clenches at her pained sobs. "i'm sorry that we're late." jin-woo states.

he looks to the other students with a neutral expression, "is everyone okay?" he asks as they stare at him in awe and nod to confirm that they were okay.

"song-i, are you hurt?" [y/n] questions the young girl with a soft and motherly tone.

she shakes her head and tears pricking her eyes, happy to see her unnie came to rescue her class.

the two players look down at the crying jin-ah, again. the female player places a delicate hand on her cheek, stroking it gently.

when the girl flinches at her touch, that's when the couple notices the huge red hand mark on her face and neck.

an indescribable rage courses through them and they hold the girl a little tighter.

"igris, take care of jin-ah." he orders and the shadow forms behind the two players.

[y/n], then summons some of her knights. "the rest of you, please take the students and head down first."

helios stood at the giant hole that he and kasiel had caused from the impact, extending his wing out for the students to step on so that they could be lowered onto the ground level.

the two players stare down guroktaru once the kids all left, they were uncharacteristically very quiet.

"i see, the immortal high orcs were their soliders... who are you two why are you able to speak our tongue?" he asks but he gets no response.

they clearly hand no intention of answering. knowing this, the orc lets out an order.

"ATTACK!"

two orcs charge at the players as they calmly walk side by side.

jin-woo grabbed the hand of the orc, breaking his fingers causing him to scream in pain. he throws the monster to the ground. he then lifts up his foot slamming on his arm brutally cutting it off.

[y/n] grabs the wrist of the orc and breaks his arm, she twists it, falling to his knees. following up, she rips his head off of his neck and tosses him aside like a rag doll.

four more orcs charge at them. in perfect unison, they only calmly raise their hands as they activate a skill.

[SKILL: DOMINATOR'S TOUCH ACTIVATED.]

the two lift up the orcs wasting no time in crushing them dead. more orc warriors roar in retaliation as they toss the monsters they killed aside.

not feeling the need to summon their daggers, both players kill the orcs with their bare hands. their fingers dripping with their blood.

guroktaru stares at the couple in fear as they kept approaching him.

───── ⋆⋅ ☽ ⋅⋆ ─────

ALL OF HIS soldiers were dead.

before the green orc could say anything, with dominator's touch he is slammed into the wall by [y/n], the same way he held jin-ah only moments before.

her glowing eyes scans the hallway they were in. her heart shatters at the sight, she sees the dead bodies of students laying on the floor and their blood pooling underneath them.

"why?"

she asks in bare whisper, gritting her teeth. "why does your kind want to kill humans to this extreme?"

she stares down the orc as tears prick her eyes. she hated this, she hated what these kids had to go through.

she loathed what jin-ah had to go through.

"in our heads constantly... kill humans..." guroktaru answers her fearfully.

her eyes narrow at him. "then what about me? do you hear the voice in my presence?" she orders, her aura growing dangerously hot.

"F-FORGIVE... FORGIVE ME."

"ANSWER ME!" she growls clenching the orc's face, not satisfied with his answer.

jin-woo who stood off to the side could only watch, [y/n] had gotten the jump on him when he went to attack the boss monster.

her anger towards the chief orc was unmatched.

"DO YOU HEAR A VOICE TELLING YOU TO KILL ME?"

she questions once more, her voice now sharp and threatening. that the sound of it made the orc shake in fear, tears spilling from his eyes as he could only utter the phrase.

"FORGIVE ME..."

how pathetic.

the [h/c] haired hunter scoffs and summons her dagger in her free hand. "i see. you were right woo, we're aren't human in their thoughts either."

she feels him stand behind her, his hand laying on top of the one that held her dagger as if he was guiding her hand.

"well it doesn't really matter. i'll forgive him..." he muses as he guides her dagger right over the monster's chest.

his glowing eyes meet the chief's, his expression was unreadable.

"BUT MY QUEEN WON'T ALLOW THE PROCESS TO BE A PAINLESS ONE FOR YOU."
