Unusual World 124 Big Brain Little Brain Part 6

"That orc has no Idea how lucky it is".

The wound Krug gave Ferrise's bleed profusely. Ferrise didn't mind the blood loss because he could transplant the crows blood for his own. The problem for him was the pound of flesh Krug shot off. Its going to take Ferrise a lot of time and money to fix that problem which he didn't like because his finances were already at their limits.

Having no solution at the moment Ferrise took out a purple syringe and injected it inside his wound. It turned his wound purple and clotted all the blood stopping the bleeding allowing him to ignore the wound for now.

"Jasper stop hiding get out here"

Not far away from the gaping hole in the ground Jasper's actual body popped out of the ground.

Ferrise after seeing Jasper flew down to him and said, "we have to go down and get Linda. We all signed a contract together, so we have to at least make an effort before we can abandon her. So, can you see whats going on down there".

Jasper spoke in sign language most of the time. Mages have too deal with many complicated issues daily learning sign language is a simple thing for most of them. Jasper moved his hand around a bit and said to Ferrise.

"No I can't"

"What do you mean you can't whats the problem".

"I lost connection I can only stay connected to my puppets when there within 1 mile of me. The pit is too deep for that".

"Uhh this has not been going as planned. I'll carry you down lets just hope we can still profit from this fight. If not I at least want to kill that orc".

Jasper responded by giving Ferrise an affermative nod after which they both set off for the depths below.

...

Inside the pit rock and sand dropped down at a quick pace allong with all the broken down corpes of all those who perished long before Krug showed up. Jasper's puppet couldn't receive Jasper's signal, so it flopped around in the air as it fell. Linda placed herself in a ball made of rocks and waited inside till they reach the bottom. While Krug cast safey aside and instead decided to vigorously punch the rockworm.

The rockworm was very weak it had significantly less armor on it then before after everyone chipped away at him. Krug didn't give up despite all of the injurys he suffered Krug consistently used [Rock Crus.h.i.+ng Fist] on the rockworm. He found it, so only he had the right to kill it was the only thought running through Krug's mind as kept punching the rockworm.

Not long after everyone fell down they all crashed to the bottom which turned out to be the sealing of a ma.s.sive cavern. The ceiling broke under everyone's weight making everyone come falling down once more. The caver was filled with glowing crystals just like in Delmar city.

Once Krug and everyone else hit the floor more debrie fellon top of their bodies covering them and in that debrie was a rusty longsword. The long sword seemingly altered the corse of its fall in the air aiming directly towards Krug. It fell fast and plunged its self directly into Krug's crippled arm. The pain Krug felt had been dulled to an extreme amount because of the rot leaf, but Krug still cursed his Luck because he was unlucky enough to be stabbed in the arm by a random sword.

Krug was very tired and wanted to fall a sleep at that moment instead of worrying about anything else. But not to his surprise the rockworm was still alive and angry at him and Linda who Just broke out of her protective sphere. Krug being the closest to him made it attack him first.

Krug couldn't rest, so he had no choice, but to keep fighting. As the rockworm drew closer Krug grabbed the hand of the rusty longsword by the hilt and pulled it out of his arm. The sword's blade was coated black with Krug thick pungent blood. It robbed the sword of what little glimmer that it once possessed giving it an eerie look.

With every breath the distance between Krug and the rockworm shrunk. When the two were once again next to each other they both pounced towards the other. Krug swung the longsword with all his might while the rockworm tried to devour Krug.

The longsword sword left a dark streak in the air that collided with rockworm's hard sh.e.l.l and pierced threw. Krug felt almost no resistance as he witnessed the rockworm that caused him considerable problems split apart in half.

Krug became slack jaw as he was unsure what happened. Linda was the same her eyes almost popped out of her head after seeing what Krug did.

"How in the world did he do that the rockworm still had some of its armor left".

As Linda was about to figure out the puzzle in front of her Ferrise and Jasper flew out of the hole in the ceiling and landed next to her.

"The Undergrowth of all places why did the hole have to lead to The Undergrowth. Well at least were lucky enough for there to be no creatures nearby".

The Undergrowth is a large series of tunnels that connect everywere in Theotera. Each layer is a completely separate world from the other and is filled with all sorts of powerful monsters. Only supper guilds have the strength to claim an entire layer for themselves. Large guilds cant because the difficulty in managing and protecting a layer is enormous. There's over 100 layers, but most are completely occupied by monsters or in hospitable because of The War of The Fallen.

Ferrise and Jasper saw that Linda was fine, so they focused there attention on Krug. Ferrise scrutinize the scene in front of him and then asked Linda what happened.

"That orc picked up that sword and then suddenly killed the rockworm in one swing".

After hearing what linda said greed flashed in Ferrise's eyes he then focused his attention back on Krug.

"It looks like that orc found us a decent weapon. Lets kill him quickly him I have to go back to treat my wound".

No one had any objections the three of them against one orc ment the fight would be over in less than a minute.

Krug paid no attention to Ferrise and the others because he couldn't. The sword he pulled out of his arm was strange it vibrated and made a soft humming noise in the air. Soon after it started doing that Krug found that he couldn't relax his grip on the sword. It was like the sword was holding him instead of the other way around.

"This strange sharp club normal sharp clumb not do this. It must be wicked sharp clumb". Krug felt a ting of fear because cursed items could do all sorts of things that would make the wielder wish they were dead.

As Krug was in the middle of evaluating the danger of the sword in his hands Ferrise and the others attached. Linda conjured a large wave of earth spikes that completely encompa.s.sed Krug and rushed directly at him. Ferrise sent out a flock of crows that swooped down from above. while Jasper had wrapped th.o.r.n.y vines around Krug feet keeping him temporarily immobile.

Death came for Krug on all sides besides forcibly breaking threw their encirclement on one end Krug couldn't think of any other way out. In the remaining seconds Krug still had alive Krug's body acted without his will.

Krug tightened his grip on his sword and swung it horizontally the blade screeched like nails on a chalk board in the air and followd with a loud boom. A highly compressed wave of sound expanded out wards destroying everything the three mages sent at Krug along with the ground.

All the birds Ferrise sent out plopped to the ground dead while Linda's earth spikes were reduced to ruble.

"You've got to be kidding me he found something like that" linda said in a displeased tone.

Because of what they saw everyone had to rea.s.sess the danger of the situation and the value of the sword. Krug didn't have the luxury to admire what happened he was more focused on resisting the sword in his hand.

"What is wrong with this sharp clumb?"

Krug veins bulged all up his right arm and continued to spread even to his right leg. Krug took a step forward and charged towards Jasper. Jasper was ready for Krug and created dozens of vines around him. Krug stepped again, but this time towards an empty Zoner were no one was stand and sword his sword downwards.

An invisible sound wave spread over that area and destroyed everything there. A seemingly meaning less act left a terrified expression on Jasper's face. A blood curdling groan escaped the ground which became silent ounce Krug made his way there and plunged his sword into the earth.

Ferrise and Linda were to slow to stop Krug they could only witness him pull out his sword that was now dyed red and See Jaspers puppet flop to the ground.

"Damb it how did he find Jasper? This is turning out to be a bad day Jasper was suppose to carry most of the stuff".

Ferrise didn't care about Jasper's death apprentices die all the time in Clover Forest there partners.h.i.+p was only a matter of benefits. With Jasper dead it ment a larger share of the loot and less compet.i.tion its a win-win scenario for Ferrise and Linda.

Krug killed Jasper he couldn't hold on any longer and dropped to his Knees in tears.

"It hurts make it stop I beg of you make it stop".

Pleaded to the sword while Ferrise and Linda watched.

"What's he doing Ferrise?".

"Who cares he's wide open lets gust kill him and take the loot".

As Linda and Ferrise were about to strike again the sword in Krug's hands shook vigorously and released multiple shock waves that collided with them. Each wave that struck them made them cough up blood.

"s.h.i.+t Ferrise this is bad that sword can directly damage a persons soul we have to get out of here"

Linda uttered frantically. Her body s.h.i.+vered and blood dripped from here eyes and nose. Ferrise wasn't doing any better than her despite not being the target of the sword's attack Ferrise was about ready to keel over.

"You don't think I see that that dumb orc must have picked up a sword with runes that were to degraded to repair and used it like a fool. Its going to kill him and us if we stay here any longer, so climb onto my back".

Linda didn't dally she lached onto Ferrise's back and both of them darted out of the cavern as fast as they could. Despite danger Ferrise wasn't leaving empty handed he summoned a large number of crows and had them carry the rockworm's body away.

Alone in the cavern pleaded once more. "I beg of you please please stop it hurts to much".

The sword hadn't damaged Krug's soul like Ferrise's suspected it had instead done considerable mental damage to Krug. Krug had no Idea how to fight against such attacks Krug punched the sword and bashed it on the ground with no success. Krug even tried smas.h.i.+ng his own head against the sword repeatedly to give the sword a tast of its own medicine, but it only made Krug's head hurt more.

The sword in Krug's hand was Just like Desmond, but unlike him it didn't have any luck in finding a body and accidentally fused with the sword in Krug's hands. Ever since Krug showed up it was overjoyed because it hadn't seen intelligent people in years. It found hope in Krug, but above all it found its new body.

It Vibrated and made all Kinds of noise to attract anyone enough to pick it up, but to no advail everyone was to focused on killing each other to notice the sword. It could barely move by its self when the ground cracked it saw its chance and used all it had it stab Krug's body in order to force Krug to pick it up.

Ever since then it has been trying to claim Krug's body but to no advail. It could only barely control Krug's body, but in the end Krug always regained control. Not wanting to be left alone in the wild to rot it had no choice but to compromise.

"Submit to me" those word echoed in Krug's head and without hesitation Krug submitted to the sword.

With tears in his eyes Krug said "You are strong stronger then Krug. Krug submit to soft skin shape club, shap club makes rules now". Following the strongest was a natural thing in orc society, so Krug felt no shame in submitting to the sword.

Once Krug submitted it stopped trying to steal Krug's body.

"What is your name strange thing".

"Krug's name is Krug".

"Ok, then can you tell me where I am Krug"

"Sharp club underground Krug underground as well, fell threw hole we did".

The sword found the creature before it strange and to dumb to talk to.

"I ment whats the name of the planet were on?"

"World called Theotera it is home of orcs"

"What is an orc?".

"Krug is orc"

"Ok, you are an orc but what is an orc".

"Krug is orc"

The two spent less than two minutes talking, but the sword already found Krug irritable. Moving on from that dead end question the sword asked Krug.

"What were things you fought".

"Those were soft skins".

"What are ..." the sword stopped its self from asking another dead end question and ask something else.

"What am I?"

"You are sharp club soft skins make you, but orc make better sharp club".

The sword took Krug's word with a grain of salt because it had to confirm everything its self.

"I wish to see the world do as I say from now on and in turn I will help you".

"Sharp club stronger then Krug, so Krug follow. But sharp club have small brain, sharp club need big brain like Krug to servive. Krug follow but Krug make plans".

"Thats fine lets just go"

"Not now Krug sleepy Krug sleep now".

The injurys Krug suffered were severe Krug immediately fell unconscious with the sword tightly grasped in his hand. The sword shook as it tried to wake Krug up, but with no luck it could only wait for better days to come.
