《Armipotent 》Chapter 136: The Berserker King
Advertisement
Zhang Mengyao noticed the two successfully reached the top wall without alerting the security, but why did they not open the gate for us? A little frown formed on her forehead, wondering what happened to the two.
She would never believe it if the two encountered trouble they could not solve, 'Why are they so slow?' Her eyes carefully surveyed the top wall but she failed to spot the figures she wanted to see.
Ten minutes, she waited for ten minutes before finally the small door on the gate opened. Lu An came out of the door while waving his hand toward her direction, 'They did not open the gate fully, does that mean they encounter trouble?'
With those thoughts in her mind, Zhang Mengyao motioned her subordinates to follow her. Mu Liqiu and Huo Hongmei were part of the group. The old lady was no longer waver in front of blood under her daughter's persistence. Battling the orcs, surviving in the wild, tempering both sheltered women.
Kang Zian showed a better result than the two women. He no longer had the haughty and prideful air of him when he first joined the rank. Kang Jiayi was the only one who left behind since he rarely joined the battle.
When they were about to reach the gate, Lu An motioned to them to make a little noise. With a thought of wonder, Zhang Mengyao signaled the others to slow down.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Mengyao asked Lu An as her eyes pried into the fort. Inside the fort was still quiet and calm, indicating Lu An and Tang Shaoyang had successfully infiltrated the fort
"Follow me!" Lu An motioned to follow her while telling the others to not make a ruckus. Leading the group to the top of the wall, they met their Leader who sat on the ground with his back leaning against the wall.
Zhang Mengyao, Wei Xi, Tian Donghai, Lu An, Yan Sheng immediately gathered around Tang Shaoyang. As for the others, they were tasked to watch their surroundings.
Tang Shaoyang immediately shared his discovery with the others. At least a thousand orcs that composed with more Orc Guards than Orc Warriors. The bad news silenced the group immediately.

No one voiced their thoughts for dozens of seconds before finally, Zhang Mengyao stood up and walked to the edge. She surveyed the fort from the top while contemplating something. Not even a minute after, Zhang Mengyao walked back to the group.
"I have a good idea. Let's burn them!" Then she continued with the details. The plan was quite simple, they only needed to burn the huts to reduce the orcs number, "The main objective is to kill the Berserker King, not to capture the fort or to kill all orcs! We lure out the king and finish our objective!"
Tang Shaoyang immediately agreed to the plan. It was a pity as they could not kill all the orcs but their priority was The Berserker King, after all.
After Zhang Mengyao shared her plan, they immediately executed the plan. First, they would capture the remaining gate, the east gate, the west gate, and the north gate. The group split into two teams and captured the remaining gates.
It was not a hard task since they stood on equal ground even with Orc General as their enemy. To the west gate, Tang Shaoyang and Lu An combined to take the Orc General down. To the east, Zhang Mengyao, Wei Xi, Yan Sheng, and Tian Donghai.
After Lu An and Tang Shaoyang captured the west gate, they proceeded toward the north gate swiftly. Both easily captured the north gate. After that, they took the torches and threw them toward the huts.
The fire spread quickly as the hut was made of wood and straws-roof. Lu An threw the torch at a random spot, more and more huts were burned under the ferocious fire. On the east gate, Zhang Mengyao noticed the fire. She immediately motioned her team to throw the torch to the huts.
Starting from the north to the east, and now the west. The ferocious fire surrounded the Orc Tribe. A furious roar and a pained scream rang amidst the raging fire. The group did not stay on their spot as they moved back toward the south gate.
Whether it was the Orc Guard or Org General, they ran away from the fire. The raging fire that burned their flesh and the thick smoke that suffocated them forced them to run toward the spot with less fire, to the south.

Unfortunately for the orcs, Tang Shaoyang and his people were waiting for them at the south gate. They started with arrows before Moon charged toward the crowd, trampling every orc on his path. The panicking orcs were not ready for this, they left their weapons behind because of the fire, making them easy targets.
While Lu An and the others faced the Orc Army, Tang Shaoyang noticed a towering figure coming out of the thick smoke. The towering figure had a similar visage as the orc, indicating it was the same kind.
Four meters tall, two small horns on the forehead, two big tusks protruded upward from its mouth and a muscular body without fat. That was what made this big guy different from the other normal orcs.
Silver armor covered its shoulders, chest, and its lower belly. Two silver greatswords in its hand. The point sword curled upward that would tear your body if the sword ever hit your flesh.
"The Boss is coming!" Tang Shaoyang grinned at the intimidating figure.
[Basic Detection]
—————————
[Monster - Orc King]
Affiliation: Orc Tribe
Class: Berserker King
Evolution: Stage 4
Level: 72
Skill:???
—————————
Tang Shaoyang ignored the incoming wave of orcs as he charged toward the Orc King.
Red aura enveloped the Orc King. After a few days of fighting against the orc, he already knew the Orc King was using [Berserk] skill now.
Without any shred of hesitation, he activated [Spirit Integration] with Karan. He leaped forward and slammed The Destroyer toward the Orc King. His action was quick and too sudden, but the Orc King noticed.
Dang!
The Orc King slashed the sword upward to meet with the battle-ax. The two weapons clashed in the air causing a spark, both had similar strength, and it ended with no winner. However, Tang Shaoyang was in the air, putting him in a vulnerable position. The Orc King raised its foot and kicked Tang Shaoyang sideways.
"Urghh!" The kick was so strong, Tang Shaoyang grunted in pain as his body flew toward the hut.
Zhang Mengyao noticed this, so she rushed to help. She confronted the Orc King head-on, preventing the latter from chasing after her boyfriend.
The Orc King did not chase after him as it slashed his sword toward the female knight.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
She predicted every slash and blocked the sword with her shield. The consecutive strikes left Zhang Mengyao with no chance to counter the strike.
[Envisage]
She cast her skill, and in the next second, she stepped to the right. Two consecutive strikes were missed and landed on the empty ground. Taking this chance, she immediately cast the second skill, [Unbending Strike].
Zhang Mengyao's figure flashed forward, leaving a blue streak behind as she thrust the lance toward Orc King's left thigh, destroying the armor and tearing the flesh.
At the same time, two translucent red axes flew from where Tang Shaoyang crashed down. The two axes were spinning in the air and accelerated toward the other Orc King's thigh.
Groarrgghhh!
The Orc King released a painful roar as it fell with its two knees down. With a deep hatred within its red eyes, the Orc King tried to take Zhang Mengyao down who was standing below him.
However, Wei Xi and Lu An appeared behind the Orc King. Wei Xi activated his skill, [Elephantine Strike] toward the left shoulder while Lu An activated his [Fatal Strike] skill.
Before the Orc King could swing its sword down, tearing pain reached its shoulder. The armor could not block the two skills, tearing the Berserker King's two arms apart. Blood spurted out, and the Orc King released an ear-piercing roar.
Tang Shaoyang rushed out from the crashed hut and rushed toward the Orc King with a big grin. He leaped to the air and swung the Destroyer to the head, half of its face sliced but it was not deep enough to kill the Orc King. The Orc King fell with his back with his face faced toward the sky.
[Earth Split]
He activated his next skill [Earth Split] as he landed on the Orc King's chest.
Crack!
A loud crack noise rang as the Orc King coughed up blood. Its eyes dimmed and it completely stopped breathing afterward.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance.

The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you.

But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
