The cave was a suspicious one, the landscape of the cave was an ordinary one, and that's what makes it unordinary. When he studied his surroundings whether there's a trap or not, he failed to find even one. Cayle entered the cave, with his cold figure swaying around. The cave has a tiny figure from the outside, however, when he entered inside the cave, his jaw almost fell off the ground, from how vast it was.

They must have hidden somewhere… Although he had given plenty of time to escape, since they're cornered now, there's no place to escape. His blade continued to starve for blood, as his feet continued going forward, full of caution.

At the ceiling of the cave, there was nothing but spiky ends. They were all frightening figures because he didn't when they were going to fall off. The cold eyes he had never averted its gaze upon the spiky ends on the ceiling, after all, no matter how strong he is, he's still a human. If he bleeds from a wound, he'll die just like others.

Drops of water falling into the emptied spacious ground, a silent atmosphere floating around the area. He guessed that there's a source of water somewhere inside the cave, and became rather more cautious, in case the orcs used it to drown him to death.

His cold eyes were drifting its gaze everywhere, as his legs were moving in full caution. Often the ceiling, often the ground, those are the only two places where his gaze always was.

He didn't want to catch a trap, so he didn't avert his gaze upon the two places where he was most suspicious the most. His tired legs were moving forward, without any fear. He could barely hear any sounds inside the cave, which gives him the anxiety of walking forward.

If there was an enemy in front of him, he wouldn't have fears in his heart, walking in the middle of unbeknownst to him, made him think that everything surrounding him could become a danger. There's even a time where he started wishing there was a swamp of enemies in front of him, it wouldn't be much scarier if only there was, because he'll know that even though they're plotting a scheme, he could prepare for it beforehand because he could take guesses when it will befall.

The situation he had right now was the worst one. After all, he could die anytime if he's not careful. Sometimes, as he continued dragging his dead weighted legs forward, he would ignore his surroundings, and would only focus on the ceiling and the ground. He could see from his position that there was water leaking out on the ceilings, while on the ground he's walking to, gave off a feeling that it could probably crumble and the ground will fall, throwing him into a deep pit.

His cold eyes that were studying the two figures, soon shifted it's gaze forward in an attempt to see the end of the cave. The cave was really vast in size, he had been walking for a few minutes by now, and yet there's still no hope of seeing the end of the cave.

There's even a time where he started wondering whether the cave was endless or not. Every time he would scan the surroundings, he wouldn't find a single living soul. If they were really hiding deep in the cave, Cayle was surely doomed, not only he's not used to the landscape of the cave unlike the orcs, he also had to be in full caution just in case he triggered a trap.

For some reason, his heart aches in bitterness whenever his gaze shifted everywhere around the cave. It reminds him of a memory deeply engraved into his heart from his previous life. A memory that he'd rather bury into the ground rather than remember it. That was the scene of his first love with his manager flirting with each other like a lovey-dovey. It irritated him so much, that before he knew it, blood veins started appearing on his hand… For the love of God, one day, I'll surely slay him…. At this point, he even started wishing that his manager should be reincarnated in this world, so he could slay him open.

The quiet atmosphere around the cave soon came to halt. The ground shook violently like there was an earthquake. Frightening footsteps making the ground tremble, made his eyes widened in full alert. He could feel sinister around the area, however, he couldn't find where it came from.

"Is that him?" A cold voice resounded elsewhere, which made him shiver to death. The holder of the voice was unknown, he couldn't even sense its presence even though he had heard its voice loud and clear.

Preparing the sword in his hand, Cayle assumed a defensive stance, while relying on his six senses instead of using his eyes. His stance was kind of clumsy, but one would be able to feel cold pressure coming from it as if a barrage of strikes would fly out if one comes closer to his presence.

"Y, yes.." In a fearful tone, a voice resounded elsewhere, unlike the other one, he could hear the direction of where it came from. Soon, a ferocious creature soon came to view, Cayle immediately recognized it and was alarmed. Isn't that one of those escapes?! Beside the ferocious green creature, there was an 80 meters tall dark creature, his skin was dark green, unlike the other simple orcs, he didn't have horns between his mouth, instead, it was on top of his forehead.

"I see." As soon as it noticed the human good instinct noticing his presence, it soon dragged its leg forward, before its feet violently shook the ground, just from taking a single step.

His ferocious dark eyes full of purity were so terrifying, that the human in front of it almost chokes itself. Even its glance alone makes him Cayle shivered in fear, before he knew it, his feet were already taking several retreating steps as it trembled in front of a superior being.

How in the hell he wouldn't? Not only the orc that seemed different species to the other ones he had encountered so far, was huge by a two-fold, instead of an ax, but the creature was also even holding a sword in its hand, relaxing the hilt of his sword to his thick dark necks, as if it didn't even feard the sharp blade.

Puaaaa!

Steams of breaths came out from his huge mouth, as his dark teeth soon were in sight. It seemed like the ones he was chasing for purposely led him inside the cave, as he had guessed, it was scheming something. Well, even if he wanted to, he couldn't kill them earlier since his feelings of pain came back, and he almost fainted out just from standing at his feet.

And since he had already had his resolve, he didn't cower any longer than the past he was in his previous life. Before he could even take action, the dark creature suddenly opened its mouth to speak; "D, did you… Kill my other kin's outside without leaving a single behind?"

At the words of the dark creature, Cayle felt a cold sweat poured down from his back. The orc beside the dark creature added another threat, in vengeance for the fallen warriors who had died giving them time to flee.

"Give it up, maybe if you surrender yourself obediently, the chief would give you a painless death.." At the same time, he also just wanted to get his own revenge towards the human, after all, it humiliated him by making him run a marathon while chasing after his life.

"Quiet down."

Puaaakk!

Like a watermelon exploding from being struck by such a heavy thing, the orc's head rolled into the ground lifeless, as its lifeless body became bloodied in green, spraying a fountain of blood.

Cayle didn't felt any sympathy towards the arrogant orc who just left the world, perhaps one day once that b*stard got resurrected again, he'll be born as a dog next time. Although he was supposed to feel fear, it only struck him at a delay timing, soon, his brows widened in shock, as his eyes became cold in calmness.

What a great concentration, amused the dark creature stared deeply in him, with full interest. Although the human in front of him has a fragile, and pipsqueak body, he started wondering how such a creature managed to outdone the ones he had on his side. Actually, he didn't really care about his other kins who had died on the outside, he just wanted to study the human to see how it'll react.

Since only a few humans have managed to step inside his territory, literally speaking, before they even got to his place, they weren't that healthy when they got in, unlike the human in front of him.

With a large grinned etched on his face, the dark creature started with a roar, and slowly approached the human. He wanted to test it out, test out how strong the human in front of him, unlike the ones he had encountered over the past few years.

As soon its dark figure started appearing from afar, Cayle redied the sword in his hand, before taking a careful stance once again. The whole cave seemed to tremble, as huge footsteps resounded everywhere. No, more like, it was as if the whole cave itself was about to collapse.

Dark green light scorched out into the center of the dark cave, everything surrounding him seemed to be lightened up by that huge presence as soon the whole dark cave was covered in light. Everything surrounding him became clear, and the place he was standing gleamed in crimson red…

"...."

His forehead sweated in coldness, as his gaze fell upon the crimson ground. He tried taking out his feet around the circle, however, it just followed him everywhere.
