It's been 19 years since scall was rescued by the strange orcish hunter called Darkhan or as Scall came to know him, Old Fart. Scall lived with the man most of life and even works with the Old Fart in his dungeon exploring job. Normally dungeons are the most dangerous places in the world but for Scall dungeons were unbelievably boring. At this moment they were doing their daily chores in the new dungeon when Scall’s plan unfolded.
*Scall pov
hehe seems like old fart's having a good time
"SCALL WHAT'S GOING ON!!! WHY IS A DEATH OVERLORD HERE!!!" said the old man as he ran towards Scall with all his might
I know exactly what's going on this old fart's been stealing some of my pay when he goes to sell off our dungeon loot so I decided to get back at him.
Today when we entered the dungeon I released some of my aura to attract the more powerful undead enemies of the dungeon to the top floor, i'll watch as the old Fart is chased around by a Death Overlord then when a stronger enemy appears I get a fight that's mildly interesting it's a win,win MUAHAHAHA
"What do you want old fart" I said with a sadistic grin
"DON'T YOU SEE THE DEATH OVERLORD! HELP ME, AND HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT'S NOT MY NAME!!!!"said the old man his face turning red from anger
of course I know his name's Darkhan but old fart sounds far better in my opinion
"oh i'm sorry how could I forget the greedy fart bag that takes another 16% of my wages on top of the 50% that you already get by working together with me"
"I'LL GIVE YOU THE MONEY LATER SO GET OFF YOUR A-" he frowned and stopped talking as he heard faint footsteps coming from the wall to his left
Finally something else to fight i was wondering if any other half decent enemies would show up. Now I should be entertained for a while
Just then the wall exploded, there was just enough time for the old fart to roll away and desperately flatten himself against the ground as the cloud of debris swept over him.
*Darkahn pov
By the time Darkhan got to his feet he was knocked down by the shockwaves of the intense battle unfolding before him.
“HOW DARE YOU LOOK DOWN ON ME MORTAL!! METEOR SHOWER!“ Screamed the Death overlord as countless balls of rock surrounded by flame conjured above him and flung towards Scall as if buckshot was being used in a gatling gun.
Scall expertly doges each shot with little effort but is charged at headfirst by the undead Minotaur that smashed through the wall earlier
The hulking beast slams into scall’s side but is stopped by his bare hand, with the beast’s head now in Scall’s hand he slowly applies more and more pressure as the Minotaur struggles desperately to free himself until finally, CRACK.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
the beast’s head bursts open and a mixture of blood and brains spill on the hard stone floor and with a satisfied smirk Scall turns his attention back to the Overlord.
The Death Overlord was speechless, he had never seen such raw strength before in his whole 40,000 years of life.To destroy a Minotaurs skull was a near impossible task and for it to be done with one hand was unthinkable for even the mightiest of warriors.
Seemingly shaking off the fear, the Overlord takes a casual stance with his arms wide open “Come mortal, test your metal against- “
Dashing to the Overlord Scall breakes the sound barier throws a huge backhand and shatters the overlords body leaving behind only shattered remains of bone and a damaged conjurers robe
“Nice you got em, let's take the loot and get out of here before more monsters appear granted you can handle them but i'll die”
“Fine leave, but i'm going deeper into the dungeon” said Scall as he began walking away from the old man
“Why wasn't a undead minotaur and a Death overlord enough for you let's leave and i'll even pay back the money i owe you”
“that can wait old fart, i feel like destroying this dungeon“ Scall said as he starts walking to the next floor
“SCALL STOP!!! (sigh) sorry, its just that this dungeon gives me the creeps”
“HAHA you scared old fart !?”
“No...its just that after so many years of adventuring i've developed a sort of sixth sense for determining the threat level of dungeons….this dungeon is by far the most dangerous.
“Oh, why is that” said Scall listening closely to darkhan's words
“All undead are souless as you already know but that Death Overlord had a personality and the only way of that happening is by having a soul. Only dungeons with the most powerful of demons and portals to other dimensions are guarded by undead with a soul.”
“So your saying that at the bottom of this dungeon is a demon or a portal to a dimension with a creature or creatures strong enough to level a large city on there own with ease?
“Ye-”
“Perfect”scall said as he walked impatiently to the stairs leading down to the next floor
Biting his lip Darkhan Sighed. “Your imposible...”
*Scall pov
As i observe my surroundings i notice that the carvings on the corridor walls begin to glow a dark blood red color. Those aren't just simple carvings those are runes, teleportation runes to be exact. I can definitely escape but then again... where's the fun in that?
In the next instant before me is a red shadow in a humanoid shape a Demon no doubt, but why did he come here, to me of all people.
“Mortal, let us make a deal fight me and if you win you will have everything you’ve ever dreamed of”
“I want nothing demon!”
“Are you sure?”
“what about the family you never had, the memories you never made with them, the people you killed, the women the children the-”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA” i laughed hysterically at the demons foolish words
“You actually think i care!? I dont give a hoot about others! All i want to do is fight, Fight, and fight some more!”
“....Ah i see, your bored”
a look of confusion spread across my face, How did he know?….
“....”
“More orc than i expected, your perfect” the demon said grinning evilly
“NEW DEAL”
“Fight me and If i win you are to kill everyone on the contenant without remorse if you win I guarantee the greatest battle of your life”
I sense no lies, perhaps this deals worth a shot its not like i'll lose or anything
“Interesting, i accept your terms”
“Good”said the demon Glaring in a condescending manner as the stone began to crack under the pressure of his aura colliding with my own
Hehe his aura just increased one billion fold i dare say his power is equal to my own...intriguing to think there was someone like me this close and i never noticed him till now.
This fight decided the horrendous fate of the 6 billion human and demi-human inhabitants of the continent
