Dragon Order of Flame

Volume 1

Chapter 4 Part 7

Luke and Marvin amazingly got to 100 meters of the Orcs' base. If they didn't, they would be unable to see if there were any hidden enemies, deep inside the forest.

"As I thought, it doesn't seem like they have any scouts here."

Said Marvin carefully. Seeing as how he always loses to Luke when it comes to words, Marvin had started to speak more cautiously.

Luke spoke.

"It would definitely seem like that from over here, but in order for us to be certain, we need to get closer."

Volkar suddenly called out to Luke. However, Luke dismissed it and continued to speak to Marvin. Marvin was just too close to be able to speak with Volkar.

"From this point on, I'll be going alone. Wait here."

"Why is that?"

"Because you can't conceal yourself as well as I can."

Luke responded back firmly and used a concealment technique. As he did, although he was standing in front of Marvin, Marvin was barely able to sense Luke's presence - as though he was a phantom.

"Huh? What is this?"

"It's a skill to conceal my presence. If you're able to do at least this much, no one will be able to detect you, even with magic. Then, I'll be off."

Luke briefly explained to Marvin as he slowly left the thicket. Even as he walked out, he used a special technique to soften his footsteps, making it so surprisingly quiet, that it did not seem like he was walking within a forest. Marvin gaped with astonishment as the distance between himself and Luke grew.

"What is it?"

As Luke was now 20 meters away from Marvin, he answered. He felt that there must be a reason why Volkar has been persistently calling out his name.

Indeed, Volkar responded back with surprising information that was above Luke's expectations.

".To have done the deed with an Orc. Not sure which dragon it is, but it's a dragon amongst dragons. A being I respect, whose courage and taste I would never like to get close to."

To have impregnated an Orc. Just the thought of it made Luke feel chilly. However, it seemed like Volkar had a different opinion.

"Even I can feel your reluctance. Sigh, you detestable dragon."

Volkar gave an excuse as Luke started to grumble. Seeing as it was the truth, Luke mumbled to himself.

'This could've been settled so much easier if Marvin didn't tag along."

Amidst the Orcs, there wasn't an Orc Shaman, but there was a dragon type. It would've been easy to find this information out without having to get so close to the base. However, Luke had to act out a real scout because of Marvin, which led to him being found by the dragon type.

'However, it seems like the dragon type isn't that smart. If it was me, I would've given the scout fake information, and then hit the main force with full power..No, does it not know that the main force is already here?'

Whatever the case, it was true that he screwed up. 4 Orc warriors climbed up the wall and were standing in front of Luke, while there were 3 more blocking his path behind him.

"7 of themI'm at least glad that I don't have to fight them all in an open space."

As Luke mumbled to himself, he turned to look behind him. Behind the 3 Orcs, Marvin could be seen standing with a puzzled look. Luke quickly used his hand to tell Marvin to leave, then pressed his back against a tree. The Orcs were closing in from both sides.

'Using the trees, I'll take them down one by one.

As soon as Luke made up his mind, and before the Orcs could get within 10 meters of him, he kicked the ground and jumped up. Grabbing a branch, Luke took another leap, and stood at the top.

"Let's see if you can catch me!"

Using his physical abilities while applying gangchesul, Luke was capable of using the lush tree branches to move about. He ran towards the opposite direction of where Marvin was, which brought the Orcs along with him.

"Since the situation is unfavorable, I need to first separate them. Ah oo, if this was the past, I would've just destroyed them from the front and gone straight into their base."

"Can you please just shut up at times like this? Just say things that are helpful."
