Alex and Ketovan were walking in the shopping district when people around them started to run. Most of the non core users and normal ranking core users were running. Few were giving work to their legs, while others were using various kinds of vehicles and powers to increase their rate of escape. Few people were running against the flow of most of the crowd. They were all wearing a uniform and were carrying various types of weapons and protective gear. A woman approached Ketovan and gave him a handshake. She was pretty, with long ginger hair reminding of the Weasley family in Harry Potter movies. She wore black armour, which was mostly reinforced cloth, it was flexible, as she showed no sigh of restriction to her movement .
"Nice to see you here, Mr Motsari," she said, offering a handshake
"please, call me Ketovan. Reina "Ketovan said, shaking her hand.
"Who is she?" Alex whispered in Ketovan's ear
"Alex, this is miss Reina Darath, a friend of mine in the adventure society. Reina this is Mr Alexander Sobreviviente." Ketovan did the introduction
"No time for introductions. Ketovan, you are a commander ranker, right?" she questioned him
"yes but a new one "
"And this friend of yours ?"
"normal rank 4 "
"Fine, escort your friend to a safer place and return. We need as much help as possible "
"What happened?" Ketovan asked
"The forest orcs have broken out of their warped space and are marching into the city as we speak. The director had called for external help. Two royal ranking parties will arrive in 1 hour. But that is enough for those abominations to raise half of the city to ground, "Reina answered
"What is their number?" Ketovan asked
While they both conversed, a voice spoke in Alex's brain .
"You okay, kid? "the voice asked
' emperor is that you?' Alex asked back
"sure am. I sensed a royal ranking hostile aura beast running towards you, an orc maybe?'
"There is an orc invasion going on in the city. Are these creatures really that powerful that royal ranking parties are called from Derrus?" Alex asked him
"Not powerful, but their numbers are just uneasy to think of. A female orc can give birth to 6 babies at once, and they take only 5 months to mature. "emperor said
"fine I will catch up with you later," Alex said
"Be careful and make sure you kill some orcs," Emperor said
"5 million. That's not too bad," Ketovan said in a low voice .
"a fully prepared army of 5 million led by 5000 orc commanders at commander rank, 500 orc generals at noble rank and an orc lord at royal rank. "Reina said
"A royal rank? That's too bad, "Ketovan said
"The noble, ranking city guard captain and 80% of the city guard were facing them currently ."
"Alex. Move towards our stay and wait till I contact you?" Ketovan said
"fine. What about you?" Alex asked
"Don't worry about it, I can escape if it gets worst "Saying this, Ketovan moves away from Alex and starts casting a spell
"The space is mine to command. I am the All-Knowing and All-Father within my domain, and I shall dictate the past, present of future in this space. COMMANDER RAND CORE ABILITY – DOMAIN"
A sphere of blue translucent sheet appeared around Ketovan. He offered his hand to Reina, and she too got. The sphere raised into the air and clew towards the west walls of the city.
"Bloody womaniser! "Alex spoke out his thoughts .

Aju Lil Mao, the newly evolved orc emperor, dropped before a pond that was unnaturally circular. He dove into the pond and reached the bottom, where lied a hole, rater and dug up hole, it was just a fragment of space teared apart from the face of the world .
What lied underneath was his home. The place where he lived most of his aimless life. A place of hardships and slavery. As he stepped into the hole, he entered a world different from the pond in which the entrance to this warped space lies .
The warped space was a floral heaven, it was a royal ranking warped space. It was relatively big when compared to regular royal ranking warped space. To put it in our perspective, it is as big as North America filled with dense rainforest and sort mountains. Ot was a great place for the forest orcs to thrive in, but there are some problems, or we can put them as restrictions. The orcs can't exit this space unless a Royal ranking or above human gives a formal order from the king of Uratos. They can only hunt within the warped Space, which was mostly forest geckos, water snakes as big as fully grown anacondas. But that's all they can hunt freely .
The actual ruler of the warped space, THE DEATH EYE SERPENT was a royal rank 98 soulless beast with venom affinity and a core ability called Bloody Venom, was out of their reach when the forest orcs entered this warped space some 300 years ago. They were foolish enough to try hunt the serpent but were badly defeated, losing nearly 75% of their population to the serpent and its progeny. They were successful in hunting the serpent down nearly 70 years after their arrival in the space, but not without losing half of their population first but after only a, decade a new serpent appeared out of nowhere and retook its position.
From then on it became a tragion for the forest orcs to hunt down the serpent once every 10 years, but they lost their strongest fighters every time they tried it. The orcs could have left the serpent alone, but they were creatures of honor, of course they were brutes, but they still had honor.
Mao moved towards the lair of the death eye serpent. It was a large cave, as big as the tunnels the humans build through the mountains using their metal scraps. Once he reached the entrance to the lair of the serpent, he wasted time in opening the door, he shattered it. Inside roamed thousands of snakes they ranged from commander rank to lower royal rank. But at the center of the spherical cave was a gigantic serpent. At nearly 990 feet in length and 17 feet in width, the divine ranking orc was no more than an ant when compared to its mountain of a body. The orc never saw an actual giant, but it always seemed to him that this snake could gulp a giant whole if it was craving for it.
The serpent was draped in bloody scales and occasionally with strips of purple and silver strips of skin. As it opened, it eyes, the surrounding air became thick with poison. The snakes all around it started to move away from their progenitor and hide in their holes or run away from the cave entirely. Its eyes were a swirl of black and purple, it was hard to decide where its pupils started. The serpent lifted half of its body into the air, opening its mouth, it let out a stream of venom that slowly started to engulf the floor completely. The venom was a deep blood colored liquid , its ferric stench could kill any normal ranking soul that was unlucky enough to breathe it in .
The orc remained still, not out of fear but out of experience. He was the one to extinguish the beast 10 years ago. He calmly lifted his club, which was nothing more than a medium sized tree with a unique tip that could act as a handle. A small flower appeared in the hands of Map. It was bright red with yellow spots here and there. I placed the flower over his club and waited .
The flower started to change the club. First it refined its outer layer, then moulded the handle and after a minute so Mao was holding a great axe that had a green plant handle and a red and yellow blade made of wood.
He leaped towards the head of the serpent into the air. I was like a Musquito approaching a face of a human to suck some blood. The serpent opened its mouth wide and swallowed him whole .
Mao could feel going down the serpent's throat, but along with him was his newly crafted divine rank weapon. It tore through its skin, and Mao emerged on the ground covered in the serpent's blood. He projected his aura beast, it was a druid. Her soft expression, long rose red hair, and a rose tattoo above her chest was a quite change from the usual druids with their green theme. She was nearly 60 feet tall and was wearing a simple red gown with golden veins sown all over it.
Orcs usually have an aura beast that was simply their own body but much bigger and bulkier. But some times few anomalies will occur where an orc was given an aura beast that differed completely from it. Most of the times such orcs are considered outcasts and killed by their own kin, but few tribes don't care about such anomalies much and just let them live. These orcs who survive were found to be more intelligent than the others and were tending to rank up at racing speeds .
He held her hands together and remained clam for a second. She opened her palms after a second or so, and black rose appeared in her hands. It was nearly 5 feet in diameter and had 1024 petals. She threw the rose at the serpent, and it stuck to its forehead.
The serpent ignored the flowers until it started to suck the life out of them. Its serpentine body moved in waves as its spirit was sucked into the rose. Mao took back his aura beast and waited for the cirriped to die a painful and long death.
