Meanwhile, the city is attacked by Orcs from all sides.
They're coming towards them like a pack of crazed animals, they keep on rushing forward without even glancing at their fallen comrades.
On Adhara's side, the Orcs are coming fast and they are numbering around 90 near 100.
She cast Fire Schimitars to attack the Orc from far away, it is effective because many Orcs got charred and died.
The Fire Schimitars is different this time, it is purple in color and it is emitting more threatening and dense energy than before.
BOOM!
It exploded killing many Orcs in its process, Fire Elementalist like Adhara is very effective in these kinds of fight.
Because of entering early rank four, these Orcs didn't stand a chance.
There is a couple of military personnel beside her, they are firing their guns trying desperately to stave off the Orcs.
"At this rate, we can hold them off!", one of the military personnel said.
He saw how Adhara killed many of them with her spells, her spells alone can potentially hold onto this side of the wall.
'I need to hurry, the east side is only guarded by the military and there's also Kyran', Adhara thought.
She fires another barrage of Fire Schimitars when suddenly, "Huakhh!"
Adhara suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, it shocked the other military personnel. Even Adhara herself was shocked.
'What happened? Did I exhaust myself?', she thought in confusion.
She never exhausts her mana when using Fire Schimitars spell, this is the first time she experiences this kind of situation.
The others started to shoot at the Orcs wildly,
The Orcs already started to pound on the wall barricade, the metallic wall started to dent under the many Orcs pounding.
'It's because of my new element, I still haven't accustomed to using it yet', Adhara thought while gritting her teeth.
CLAP!
She then clasps her hands making a loud clapping sound, a big circle of fire appeared on the ground beneath the rampaging Orcs.
Blood started to flow down her mouths, she gritted her teeth and chanted, "Purple Fire Magic, Ring of Fire!"
BOOM!!
The ground cracked as it explodes with purple fire,
GRAHH!!
ROAR!!
Many Orcs got charred by the purple flame, the purple flame instantly vaporized tens of Orcs that are pounding on the wall.
The effect is devastating, but it also comes with a cost.
Cough!!
Adhara fell down to her knees after using that spell, she coughs blood as her mana got exhausted.
"Are you okay? Medic! Come here!", one of the military personnel shouted.
They saw Adhara charred many Orcs reducing their number greatly but she's also injured, one woman went to Adhara and checked her condition.
"Her physical is normal, it's internal damage. I think she exhausted her mana", the woman said.
All of the injuries caused by mana can't be healed by normal people, normal people can't even see or sense mana so it's logical for them to not be able to do anything to treat Adhara.
Roar!!
The remaining Orcs roared in anger, seeing their fallen comrades burnt bodies makes them go berserk.
Adhara got pulled to the back, she needs time to recover.
The military personnel started firing at the Orcs again, there are still about twentyish Orcs remaining and the wall will not last long.
When suddenly,
ROAR!!
A loud deafening roar was heard as the ground tremble,
A big Orcs twice the size of the others appeared, he wears an animal's hide with gruesome and hideous fangs coming out of his mouth.
Just from a glance, all of the others knew that this Orc is stronger.
After roaring menacingly, it then started running towards the wall barricade with its heavy steps.
Seeing this, the military changes target and fires at the big burly Orc that is running towards the wall. He runs like a tank knocking any bullets or even Orcs that caught on his way.
BOOM!!
The Orcs busted through the weakened wall, it creates a gaping hole in the wall.
All of the military on the north wall widened their eyes in surprise, one of them then report to Troy with their radio transmitter, "Sir Troy, the north wall is breached. I repeat the north wall is breached"
Hearing the loud crashing sound, Adhara stands up strugglingly.
She looks at the Orcs pouring inside the city while gritting her teeth, 'Rex hurry! The city is breached'
~
Meanwhile,
Kyran is defending on the west wall, the Orcs here are fewer than the north wall so he decided to push through the Orcs.
He accompanied by three military personnel went out of the city and confront the Orc head-on.
BAM!!
Kyran punched an Orc sending it crashing away,
He then takes an ax dropped on the ground before he charges forward with the military personnel.
Kyran felt that his body can react to almost any attacks from the Orcs, he held the ax as if he's meant to be in a fight.
Three Orcs approach him, they all growl with axes in their hands.
Kyran saw this, his body moves automatically as he dodges all of their attacks before he cleaves them with his ax.
ROAR!!
The ax cut through the Orcs limbs, they growl in pain before the military kills them.
The battle is in their favor, many of the Orcs got injured by Kyran before the military gives the Orcs the final blow.
It was a good first experience for Kyran when suddenly,
BOOM!
A deafening sound was heard from afar, it comes from the north wall, 'Adhara? Did her side of the wall got breached?'
Fearing that Adhara is in danger, Kyran picks up his pace as he fights the Orcs more violently.
On Adhara's side, the Orcs manage to breach the wall.
The big Orc shakes his head after busting through the wall, he then raises his ax before he charges forwards followed by the other Orcs.
ROAR!!
Troy got the information that the north wall is breached, "Men! Prepare to defend the city hall!"
10 military personnel gets in their position, the citizens already squeezed inside the city hall.
The military hide behind a brick wall that they built for their last defense, it's only half done because they lack resources but it's still decent enough.
The sound of the Orc marching can be heard, it makes the surrounding rocks tremble.
"READY!!"
From the end of their vision, they saw a big Orc ransacking everything he meets before his eyes saw Troy and the other military personnel ready to fire them.
ROAR!!
The big Orc roared menacingly, he then charges towards Troy followed by other Orcs.
"FIRE!!"
BOOM!!
All of the military personnel empty their magazines, they rain fire to the Orcs with their new enhanced bullet.
The fire managed to stop them on their tracks,
Even the big Orc stopped as he felt the bullet hurt him, his eyes turns red as he looks at the military personnel firing at them.
He then raises his feet and stomps the ground hard,
BOOM!!
The ground cracked all the way to the brick wall where the military personnel is firing, it caught them off guard as the crack destroyed the brick wall.
"AAAHH!!"
Many of the military personnel got flung away,
Their weapons broke because of the debris thrown at them, even Troy slipped and fall because of the stomp.
Seeing that he manage to destroy the military lineup, the Orc resume their charge.
Troy looks at the coming Orc helplessly, their lines of defense are broken and it looks like there is no hope for their survival.
He watches the Orc charging at him before he closes his eyes, 'This is the end'
Just as he gave up,
THUD!
BOOM!!
Adhara landed right in front of Troy and shot purple flames towards the coming Orcs, her mouth started to bleed but she still held on.
She came right on time, the Orc almost reaches the city hall.
The big Orc takes another Orc and used him as a shield.
Without even Adhara realizing it,
Amidst the purple flame, the big Orc takes the ax on the ground before he positioned himself and threw the ax towards Adhara with all his might.
SWOOSHH!
The ax pierced through the purple flames, the rune on it prevents the purple flame from melting the ax.
Adhara didn't saw the coming ax because it's blocked by her purple flame.
Just when the Axe wanted to hit her, "WATCH OUT!!"
STAB!!
"ARGHH!!", Kyran takes the blow from Adhara as the ax stabs his shoulder blades before blasting him away to the nearby house.
Adhara got pushed to the side, she looks back and saw Kyran got pinned to the wall.
Seeing the purple flame stop, the big Orc takes another ax from another Orc and charges forward madly.
The big Orcs battle sense is terrifying, his experience in fighting helps him make a fast decision in the midst of the heat of battle.
Kyran pulled out the ax, he saw the Orc coming towards them.
"Adhara! The Orc!!", he shouted making Adhara look at her back.
She saw the big Orc charging towards her with saliva dripping from his mouth, his huge body blocks her vision completely.
There are other Orcs on the big Orc's back as well.
Without even waiting for a second, mana concentrated on the rune on her arm.
Her body burns with purple fire, she forced herself to gather mana even though she is still not used to her new element yet.
A big purple ball materializes on top of her, it's glowing brightly.
The heat it emitted is scorching hot, it only takes a second before it spits fire all around her attacking the Orcs.
SWOOSH!!
The ground turned into a sea of purple fire, it burns the other Orcs and also the big Orc.
Normal Orcs got their legs vaporized because of Adhara, even the big Orc felt his leg skin is boiling on the verge of vaporizing.
ROAR!!
The big Orc roared as he threw the ax in his hands forcefully, he can't move his legs so the throw is not at full power.
Kyran notices this, he then jumped intercepting the spinning ax.
The moonlight somehow makes him feel that he's stronger, In mid-air,
He saw the ax spinning slowly in his eyes, he then grabbed the ax forcefully.
Just as he grabbed the ax,
He can feel the power of the spinning ax but he manages to hold on while grabbing it with both hands.
With the momentum from his jump, he scours towards the big Orc with an ax in his hands.
The big Orc was shocked, he doesn't expect that Kyran dares to jump despite the purple flame and manage to grab the spinning ax.
SLASH!!
A bloodied head spins mid-air, the headless big Orc body falls to the purple flame before it got vaporized.
Kyran manages to slice the big Orc's head, it was clean-cut.
He then falls towards the purple flames,
Seeing this, Adhara immediately stopped the purple flames but it manages to scorch Kyran's elbow.
"Kyran!!", Adhara shouted.
Kyran fall to the ground, he groans in pain because of his burnt elbow.
Adhara arrives beside him and looks at his burn, "Are you okay? That's reckless of you", she said worriedly.
Although Kyran becomes a Werewolf, he's still a kid in Adhara's eyes.
"If I didn't do that, the ax will cut you", Kyran said, he already felt close to Adhara just from the exchange they have before.
Hearing this, Adhara smiles.
She glances at the burn and saw that it's started to heal although it's not as fast as her or Rex.
Kyran also saw this, he felt that the pain becomes bearable in a minute or so, "What is this? How can it heal on itself", he asks.
"It's the power given by Rex, all you have to know is that you can heal minor injury easily", she replied assuringly.
Troy approach them in relief, "Thank god you manage to stop them, it will be a massacre if you hadn't step in", he said thanking both Adhara and Kyran.
If the Orc manages to break through, the people in the city hall will surely die.
Adhara smiles before she said, "It's not over yet"
Troy looks at the east and south where the fight is still ongoing, only Adhara's and Kyran's side is already clear.
~
Meanwhile, inside the church.
"Everybody run!! There's an Orc!!"
The people inside the church are running outside, the church suddenly got invaded by an Orc that suddenly busts into the window.
Some of the people go to the corner in fear, they look at the Orc helplessly.
The woman that is nailed on the cross heard the commotion, she heard the window shattered before a low baritone shout was heard.
She's confused by the voice, it doesn't sound like a human.
The cross is already put up, the woman is already hanged on the cross. Only her hands support her weight, her jaw is clenched because of the pain.
"I knew it!! You filthy woman, you're a traitor of humanity!!", the pastor shouted, he then takes out a knife from god knows where.
The men pinning the woman on the cross already fled, they're scared shitless by the Orc.
The Orc looks at the woman with tears, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to drag you down like this. I'm afraid that you will be scared of me if you knew"
He started apologizing with tears, he's using Orc language so the other didn't understand but suddenly,
"So that's why you didn't utter a single word, turns out you're an Orc after all", the woman said with a smile.
She then continues, "Even if you're an Orc, the time we spent is quite memorable for me. So it's okay, even if I knew sooner they would still crucify me"
The woman answers the Orc as if she understands him perfectly.
It was a beautiful scene,
The Orc is full of tears while seeing the woman got nailed to the cross, it pained his heart seeing the woman in this condition.
"So what are you waiting for pastor? You want to kill me right? Go ahead", the woman said.
Hearing this, the pastor walks toward her with steady steps.
Hatred can be seen in his eyes, he looks at the Orc and the woman disdainfully, "You choose a filthy Orc instead of me? You will pay for your sins of rejecting the son of god's love with your life"
The woman smiles, "Even in death, I will still wish that I can kill you", she said to the pastor before she looks at the Orc gently.
STAB!!
The pastor stabbed the woman right on her neck, it instantly kills her but her expression is still smiling gently while looking at the Orc.
Blood gushed out of her neck, her cloudy eyes turn lifeless.
"That's what you get for choosing a filthy Orc than me", the pastor said disdainfully but then suddenly,
BOOM!!
The Orc suddenly burst with red sinister energy, it makes the ground cracked and destroyed the church's inside instantly.
Seeing this, the pastor went pale as he runs out of the church.
"RAARRRGGHHH!!!"
BOOM!!
Another shockwave exploded as the church crumbles apart, the red sinister energy takes over the Orc's body as his eyes turn red.
Meanwhile,
Rex finally arrives near Wedron City, he then suddenly saw red sinister energy shot out to the sky, 'What is that? This energy...'
Without even wasting a single second, he rushed back hurriedly, 'This is bad!'
