Chapter 196: A Clue

Chapter 196: A Clue

The Orc tried to use magic, but Gerald already figured out how to interfere with it.

When trying to kill the Minecrawler Queen he got his Stone Pupped nullified by the giant monster. That's when he realized that magic could be interfered with and made useless.

As long as your mind was stronger than your opponent's you could disrupt his control over Mana. Depending on the distance and strength difference, the effects would vary.

Anyway, although the Orc was physically stronger, he was mentally weaker and could only flail around helplessly. Soon they were kilometers in the air, and that's when Gerald gave the Orc a strong punch, separating him from himself.

They started a free fall.

"Thirty seconds That's how long you have to live!" Gerald made a bloody grin as he spoke to the Orc falling not too far away from himself. He took out the Toothpick and held it in a reverse grip, looking at the ground below in anticipation.

"You-!" The Orc roared, "You think this measly fall can kill me?! Get over here and I'll tear you to pieces!" He tried to glide closer to Gerald and grab him, but the latter just moved further away and ignored him.

"It's about time!" Gerald's right hand that was holding the spear arched back and a massive amount of Mana gathered around it.

The spear exploded out of his hand and shot down towards the ground like a missile.

Bang!

It struck itself into the ground, handle first, with the sharp point looking towards the sky.

Gerald waved his hand and a low air pressure zone was created under the Orc all the way to the ground.

"Noooo! You bastard!" Tak-Rai realized that he lost control and could only fall on the predetermined route. But he couldn't do anything to change it, because the human was right beside it, controlling it all!

Gerald drank a few potions and cast Recovery on himself and then took a short moment to relax in the middle of the thorny field.

When he got back up, he went to the Orc Elite and cut off a piece of his flesh, and took a bite.

"Bleagh!" He immediately spat it all out, "That's the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted!" He kicked the corpse and cursed, "Fucking useless! No wonder everybody hates you! Can't even eat this crap!"

He didn't even think about tasting the Goblins. They already stank like death, so their flesh was probably like a rotten piece of shit!

Still, he could use Essence Extraction on them, so it was not all bad Though he didn't have time to process a hundred corpses at the moment, so he just stored them in his ring. It had plenty of space after all.

During the cleanup he found a lucky Goblin that somehow managed to avoid every single thorn and remained relatively unscathed, he just couldn't move much.

"Heh, your luck just ran out little guy," Gerald grinned and prepared to kill it. But then an idea popped into his mind. What if he let it escape and then follow it?

He pretended to be clumsy and instead of cutting the Goblin, he broke the thorns around it, giving it some space to run.

The Goblin was of course completely terrified from all that has happened and didn't even think about fighting. It quickly ran away and squeezed through and crack in the wall, disappearing in the dense forest.

What it didn't know, however, was that it was all planned by the dangerous human, and it was secretly being followed back to the nest!

The Goblin ran for a good while until it came to a small crack in the ground. There were many such cracks and holes in the forest, it was nothing unusual.

However, this crack was much deeper than the rest and it also expanded into a tunnel after a while. It was enough for a grown man, or an Orc, to just barely fit through.

"So that's where you are hiding!" Gerald quickly appeared before the Goblin and killed it with a punch. He stored the corpse and then flew up, way above the forest canopy, to see any landmarks so he could remember the place.

He was not in a mood to continue fighting, and right now he just wanted to return home to rest and recover.

After marking the place on a map, he slowly glided home.
