Chapter 513: Vengeance Comes knocking
The Orc Chief did not see any more reason to batter with Chiron, this was especially because she believed that he was heading for death.

She had been to the second zone before. Back then, she had been through incredible suffering to have gotten the treasure she now commanded.

And she had trained her son extensively, so that he may pass just as she had also passed. However, something was not right with the second zone.

It was as if it had suddenly or most recently been agitated and thus it had become much difficult for the Orcs to clear.

Within the second zone were three layers. No one, not even the Silver ranked Orc had entered thus far into that place. She did not believe that Chiron was going to be any different.

Besides, he had been generous enough to have left them a few toys like Hunter.

Chiron had not even left the room for his trip and the Orc commander had already raised her short skirt, setting herself for Hunter to mount. Which of course, the Core beast did not hesitate to enjoy.

The Orc Chief looked at her son, “Once you show him the way in, you are to return through the secret passage.”

He nodded. And just like that, they were off.

Carla had insisted on following Chiron, but he had commanded her to stay back. She could not argue with him and never intended to. But for some reason she could not understand, it felt as if she was going to lose him on this trip.

Yes, she felt that this time around, he was definitely going to DIE.

She did not know why she felt this way, maybe it was as a result of her womanly instincts for a man she was in love with, but it was definitely there.

What she did not know was that Chiron was ever willing when it came to courting death. In his eyes, Death always came bearing gifts.

Chiron was taken through a secret passage way beneath the chief’s hut, out of the village side and through what chiron memorized as a safe route towards the Second Zone.

The journey was not as long as Chiron estimated it would be. they arrived at an underwater river. His Orc guide paused here. “If you go past the river and out the cave on the left, you will arrive before the Second zone. Be careful, they are beasts of lust everywhere”

The Orc that had guided Chiron turned and began his journey back, his broad back soon disappearing into the shadows of the secret passage.

Chiron was left alone at the edge of the underwater river, the sound of flowing water echoing softly around him. He steeled himself, stepping into the river.

As Chiron crossed the river, he encountered a few creatures lurking beneath the surface. Their slimy tentacles and snapping jaws sought to pull him under, but with swift and precise movements, he fought them off. His blade flashed in the dim light, cutting through the roots of trees that reached out to entangle him, their rough bark scraping against his skin. Finally, he burst out of the water and stumbled into a cave, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

Before him lay a vast expanse shrouded in a thick fog that clung to the air like a dense cloud. The fog formed an impenetrable wall, stretching high into the sky, seemingly endless and unyielding. Just before this natural barricade stood a horizontally long wall of wood, bristling with sharp, pointy ends designed to deter any would-be climbers, promising a grisly fate to those who dared.

In front of what appeared to be a gate, two Orcs stood guard, their hulking forms unmistakable even through the mist. Both were Bronze rank 1, their eyes scanning the area with a practiced vigilance. On either side of the wall, two more Orcs patrolled, their heavy footsteps crunching on the ground, adding to the tension in the air.

Chiron knew he couldn’t confront these guards directly; he had to use his wits. He studied the movements of the patrolling Orcs, noting the timing and rhythm of their paths. With meticulous calculations, he waited for the perfect moment when the patrols were at their farthest points from each other.

From his system storage, Chiron summoned a puppet clone that was his exact likeness. The clone emerged, its presence an eerie mirror of Chiron’s own. With a wave of its hand, it unleashed a fire attack, the flames roaring to life and drawing the attention of the Orcs. The guards shouted in alarm, their guttural voices rising in panic as they chased after the fiery distraction.

Chiron moved swiftly and silently towards the wooden walls. Each step was calculated, his senses on high alert. He could hear the distant shouts of the Orcs chasing his clone, their heavy footsteps growing fainter. But just as he was about to step through the gate, a prickling sensation of danger washed over him.

He felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, and his instincts screamed at him to turn around. Slowly, Chiron pivoted, his eyes scanning the darkness behind him. The shadows seemed to writhe and shift, and he could almost hear the soft rustle of movement. Something was there, lurking just beyond his sight, watching him with malevolent intent.

His heart pounded in his chest as he strained to see through the gloom. The sensation of danger grew stronger, and he tightened his grip on his weapon, and then it came.

It was a Hatchet. The same one that had attempted at changing his form when he come to this place.

Chiron waved Devil’s Touch, Blocking the attack. However, it did not stop. and then he looked closely. The Hatchet looked as if it was cutting through Devil’s touch, similarly, remolding his weapon.

Chiron gave up on defending, dodging to the side.

Then came laughter. “I knew from the bottom of my heart that this is the place you would come to the moment I saw you within the Fog.”

A figure stepped forward. It was a huge Orc. the same one that had attacked him when he came to this place. He had a skull tied around his neck like a necklace.

The Orc stopped, “Oh… what is that look. Have you forgotten me already. After what you humans did to my people, and you did to my brother…”
