There was only a ten meters gap between Leon and myself but I couldn't help but slow down my movement. There were still four more orcs left, plus the mage and the raven.

[Why isn't the raven counted as an enemy?]

That's because it's counted as a mount, the orc mage and the raven are pretty much one.

[That's very stupid] I inwardly complained.

I tried to look around the tall grasses to spot any orcs but I couldn't see them, and also it's very windy so even if the orcs made any movement it wouldn't be easily noticeable because the whole area is swaying left and right.

[Damn, if I had any of Bloodhound tracking abilities, finding the enemies would be much easier]

This thought only made me look forward to gaining a free random ability, but all I can do is pray that the enemies don't run away.

[Wait... Don't tell me that they ran away?]

'Die!'

"Fuck!"

- 45 Health

Health: 52/100

I couldn't believe I got hit as I rolled and tumbled forward. I quickly stood up on guard. A tiny orc smirked victoriously with a mocking gaze. I stared in disgust and horror at this moss green-like humanoid.

It punched me point blank in the centre of my back, dealing damage with numbers counting around half my total health. I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of scarlet red blood.

[Shit, I underestimated them too much!]

I suddenly crouched down just a tiny bit and tried to listen for any other movements. I know that there is an orc right in front of me, but I couldn't count out a sneak attack.

"I'm coming to help!" Leon said with grave concern. The women who saved him and gave him a powerful weapon was in trouble.

I didn't respond to him, I couldn't be distracted; my eyes were glued onto the tiny orc in front while my ears were listening for those that may still be around for a surprise attack.

Suddenly, my ears perked up.

[Above!]

"Boom!'

'Cawwwwww!!!'

'Argggh!!!'

A blooming fire exploded in the air which immensely increased the temperature of the surrounding area. I felt the heat boiling my skin and I opted to run away during the commotion.

"Roar!"

The four orcs bellowed loudly in shock and disbelief.

Their leader died just like that. Its body was wholly doused in flames, its skin turned black, and after a while, its very existence broke up into scattering ashes leaving behind no evidence that it has lived in the first place. It left behind a small sparkling sphere, but that too was destroyed by the flames.

[There goes my thermite grenade]

I heard a lot of beeping noise in my mind but I ignored it all, I couldn't help but hug Leon tightly and fall asleep while he carried me in his arms.

The pain was too much, and there were so many questions that I had swimming in my mind but for now, I have to rest.
