Chapter 26 - Shadow Steps.

**Yes, I turned 15, but my body is still somewhat small.**

 

So, that damned monster started laughing when he saw me. He laughed loudly and raised his axe in the air.

 

He tried to split me in half with one strike.

 

"Illusion."

 

"Shadow Steps."

 

I came from behind him, putting all my strength into my sword, even unleashing the black aura, and began attacking him. But that damned monster blocked my attack as if he sensed it.

 

He launched a powerful strike at me. I activated my energy shield,

 

but the shield couldn't withstand the strike and shattered. The stronger I got, the stronger monsters I encountered.

 

"Mana Swords."

 

I summoned ten swords and attacked the orc.

 

The swords caused him some minor wounds.

 

So, I created twenty swords,

 

then thirty,

 

then forty.

 

There were now more than forty swords around me, which I directed swiftly at the damned orc.

 

But he placed his axe in front of his face,

 

so the swords didn't pierce his face but caused numerous injuries all over his body.

 

He tried to attack me,

 

but he couldn't move

 

because I had combined the Tamer's paralysis poison skill with one of the swords that struck his leg.

 

At that moment, I had only 5 seconds.

I attacked him with all my strength.

I got closer.

I raised my sword,

 

but he broke free from the paralysis and was about to block my attack, so I quickly transformed into a night wolf.

 

I sank my fangs into his neck and held on. He dropped his axe from the pain and put his hand on my neck.

 

My energy was about to run out, and I had no other energy left.

 

The corpses wanted to come out, but I prevented them from doing so.

 

He tried to lift me forcefully and succeeded, holding me like a doll, but that fool, instead of killing me quickly,

 

threw me hard against a tree. I transformed back into my true form.

 

Blood was gushing from my mouth, and my whole body was severely injured.

 

I felt I was on the verge of death, but that damned orc was standing right in front of me.

 

He approached me aggressively.

 

I stood up, looked into his eyes, and that damned smile appeared on my face even though I was drenched in blood.

 

If anyone had witnessed this battle, they would have thought I was insane or crazy, not valuing my life.

 

But what can I do? This is my nature. I don't bow to anyone; I kneel to no one; I stand above everyone.

 

As I looked into his eyes, he fell to the ground with a look of shock on his face.

 

It was impossible for the wolf's fangs to have done this to him.

 

So, before he went to hell, I wanted to tell him what caused this.

 

I leaned close to his ear and whispered,

 

"My fangs had blood poison, so I put them in your neck and endured your damn strikes for over 10 seconds, you damned monster."

 

I don't know if he understood what I said or not,

 

but it didn't matter.

 

He closed his eyes and died at my feet.

 

"Your level has increased."

 

I summoned a corpse from my collection because I had no energy left to move and ordered it to cut off this damned orc's head.

 

I summoned 35 corpses and lay down on the ground. My body couldn't move, and my mouth couldn't speak. My body was devoid of any energy.

 

This damned orc was very strong.

 

I need to kill some of them when I wake up.

 

Time passed, and I summoned all the tigers and the wolf, ordering them to search for orc creatures in the forest.

 

Then I went to a nearby cave.

 

One of the corpses approached me, holding a large black gem, larger than any other gem I had seen.

 

I took the gem and analyzed it.

 

Name: Orc Gem

 

Ability: Increases Kai energy

 

A gem of medium quality.

 

I placed all the gems I obtained in my internal range.

 

So, I placed this gem as well.

 

But this time, a strange message appeared to me.

 

"Do you want to activate the purification skill in your internal range? Special ability of the range."

 

As usual, before I questioned it,

 

"Purify all herbs, stones, and gems of medium and high quality and extract the benefits into elixirs."

 

So, I thought of the word,

 

"Yes."

 

10 minutes until purification is complete.
