Fate Online: Shadow

Michael continued deeper inside the Orc Territory as he didn’t want to be bothered by players like the ones earlier again.

Michael opened his [Storage] and checked the item he got from the Priest earlier.

[Blue Lion Armor] [Uncommon]

Class: Priest

Type: Body Armor

Durability: 120/120

Defense: 20

Magic Def: 12

Level Req: 10+

"This item actually had better defense than mine" Michael said a bit surprised, but even with that, he just listed it in the Item Trading site for $100 as he doesn’t even know anyone with a Priest class to give it to.

"Hmm? They followed me all the way here?" Michael raised an eyebrow as he could hear the rumbling footsteps and battle cry of the Orc behind him.

Michael hid behind a bush and entered Stealth as he waited for the players to arrive at his location, with weapons ready to attack anytime.

"Spread out! Don’t leave any stone unturned! We must find that bastard at all cost!"

Michael heard someone yelling from a distance, and the voice is something very familiar to him.

’That Mad Bull is really persistent’ Michael thought as he grinned coldly, and then he stood up and dash towards in another direction while in Stealth.

A few moments later, Michael arrived at a spot where he could see a tribal village.

But it wasn’t just some ordinary village, it’s because it’s an Orc Village which Michael discovered a couple of hours ago when he was roaming around and studying the terrain of this map.

Michael entered Stealth once again, and headed towards the village while avoiding those patrolling orcs around the perimeter of the village.

Michael successfully sneaked inside after easily passing through the gate of the village without attracting the attention of the laid back Orc Guards who are lying on the ground, looking really bored and sleepy.

He sneak passed all of the Orcs on the way and arrived beside a huge ger or yurt in the middle of the village, he was able to sneak through inside here easily because he had once tried to kill the boss here, and for him to only escape back in defeat from almost getting killed when hundreds of Orcs surrounded him while fighting the boss.

Michael slightly opened the cloth covering the entrance of the yurt and immediately fired off his crossbow bolt towards the sleeping Orc Boss!

Twak!

Michael immediately dashed towards the gate of the village, he didn’t even try to confirm if the attack hit the target at all!

"Roar!"

An angry roar immediately reverberated throughout the surroundings two seconds after Michael made his escape from there!

Boom!

The yurt exploded into pieces as a three meters tall green orc with orc tusk protruding out of its mouth immediately chased after Michael while angrily waving its Axe Cleaver around it.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Following the roar of the Boss, the other Orcs are also roused from their senses as they also started roaring in anger, and those Orcs near Michael charged towards his direction and started to attack him.

"Shit!" Michael cursed as he rolled forward, dodging an axe that was thrown at him!

But he persevered and just ran and ran, until he successfully lured out the entire Orc Horde out of their village with a smile on his face, and while keeping his distance from the horde of monsters, the direction of where he is running is clearly were the members of Devion Guild are!

"This is punishment for disrupting me" Michael grinned coldly as the rumbling sound of footsteps and angry sounded from behind him.

*****

Roar! Roar! Roar!

"Hmm? What’s happening?"

Mad Bull and the others immediately halted in their tracks when they heard the angry roars from the distance, where they also noticed that the ground is rumbling and roars are increasingly getting closer!

"Boss! T-there’s a horde of orcs heading our way!"

A message window suddenly appeared in front of Mad Bull, where he heard the frantic voice of the Assassin who were with him when they besieged Michael!

"What!? Did you f*cking lure them here!?" Mad Bull raged at that player, and the latter felt wronged as he didn’t even know what the heck is happening!

"N-no! It wasn’t me...Oh my god! It’s that player earlier, the one who killed Velen earlier, and he’s the one luring the horde towards us! My god, even the Boss is with them!"

The Assassin started panicking when he saw the huge Orc Boss from where he’s hiding, and then, he immediately bolted out of there and ran back towards where his guild mates are.

"Gather towards me!" Mad Bull immediately yelled at the team leaders around him, and the team leaders immediately told their teammates.

The hundred members that he gathered for this excursion immediately gathered around him.

They formed a battle line towards the incoming horde in the middle of the forest, because Mad Bull learned that from the reports from other Assassins roaming the area that there’s only enough time to form up a defense and no time to retreat from this place.

The Barbarians took the frontline, followed with the Hunters who stood five meters behind them and the group of Priests just standing behind the Hunters, while the Assassins would provide support during the upcoming clash between them and the monsters.

"Hold your positions! We will take down that horde and the boss you hear me!? We just need to hold them off for ten minutes and reinforcements would be here!"

Mad Bull tried to rally his men and at the same time, hurrying the person at the other side of the line.

[You need to hurry up or we’ll die here!]

[Just hold on! We’re already on the way! We must take that Boss down if we’re doing this!]

[Of course! That f*cker ruined our plans though! We must kill him after this!]

*****

Meanwhile.

"Hahaha!" Michael ducked at the side, then used Shadow Blue and arrived on top of a tree branch, and the horde stopped for a bit, confused that they’re target suddenly disappeared.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

But then an Orc noticed a group of people just less than thirty meters away from them, the Orc roared angrily and charged towards them, then followed by another Orc, then another, and then another, until all Orcs are now charging towards them, but the Boss didn’t follow the rest and started looking around his surroundings, possibly trying to find Michael.

’How troublesome’ Michael thought, but wasn’t surprised that Bosses are at least have intelligence almost on par of a human.

Because this Orc Boss knows... knows that Michael is just around him...hiding.
