The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 28, Section 27: Teacher Joseph's Horror

Swish swish!
Just as the orcs were about to storm into the village and enter an uninhabited place, many figures emerged from the night and pounced on the orcs who were rushing into the village, trying to stop them.

They are the dead.

The undead also possess the innate characteristic of "darksight," and they had already spotted the orcs when they approached the village.

When the orcs invaded with weapons, they automatically carried out the order to "defend the village".

"Oh no, these are zombie skeletons created by those human mages!"

clap clap.

The orcs, now transformed into zombie skeletons, and the living orcs immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Many orcs were held up by the undead.

Especially those zombies that are hard to kill and persistent, constantly trying to grab the orcs and slow down their invasion.

"Damn humans, using the corpses of our own kind against us!"

Haug roared as he kicked a zombie away, shouting:

"Half of the orcs will deal with these undead, the other half, charge with me!"

Haug commanded a group of orcs to forcefully suppress the undead's offensive, while leading another group of orcs to break into the defensive line.

This one-armed orc warrior, leading more than ten orcs, charged straight into the village, letting out beast-like howls.

Joseph's drinking buddies were horrified when they saw this.

Suddenly they remembered something and looked at Joseph, who was also frozen in place:
"By the way, Joseph, aren't you a celestial mage? You can definitely handle them, right?"

"I...I...I'm just an ordinary, mediocre, low-level mage. How can I compare to the elite battle mages His Majesty Elion previously led?"

Joseph was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly grabbed the brooch on his chest and tried to contact the floating city for help.
"Oh no! This is Rolling Stone Village! A group of orcs has invaded the village..."

Just then, three orcs spotted Joseph and his companions by the campfire, and charged straight at them, wielding giant axes.

"Waaaaaah!"

No, there's no time to call for help, they're already right in front of us...

Joseph was startled and quickly raised his hand, firing a bright blue magic missile from his fingertips.

Snapped!
The force field missile struck one of the orcs, exploding and tearing his skin apart.

The orc collapsed to the ground, blood gushing out. Most of his ribs were broken. He screamed and rolled around a couple of times before falling silent. His fate was unknown.

"What? This bespectacled guy is actually a mage!"

The other two orcs, seeing their companion's miserable state, remembered the human mages who attacked them in Bloodstain Canyon, and were filled with boundless rage. They raised their giant axes and instantly rushed in front of Joseph.

"It's over, it's over!"

Joseph was so frightened that his legs trembled and he fell to the ground, his glasses falling off. He didn't have time to cast another spell.

"I'm going to die..." Joseph screamed in terror.

"Teacher, there's still something I don't understand in class yesterday..."

Little Gretel went around from behind the house and just happened to see the terrible scene before him.

There was a pop.

The book in the boy's hand fell to the ground.

"teacher!"

Grete screamed in terror as he watched two orcs raise their giant axes and strike Joseph, who had fallen to the ground.

"No, Mr. Joseph!" In desperation, little Grete reached out to Joseph on the ground and screamed instinctively.

In that instant, Gretel didn't even notice that a sliver of intense red light flashed in his eyes!

……

In the floating city high in the sky, Elian kept a close watch on this scene.

When Elian noticed the red light flashing in Grete's eyes, his own eyes flickered slightly. "Unfortunately. Still just a little bit short..."

……

Clang.

The two orcs' axes slammed into the pale gold, translucent shield, and their bodies fell backward due to the recoil.

These two monsters, whose strength far surpassed that of humans, actually staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground, and blood gushed from their tiger's mouths.

In a moment of desperation, Joseph instinctively chanted a spell, casting a life-saving "shield spell"!
"Teacher, are you alright? You truly are a teacher!" Gret was overjoyed to see his teacher unharmed, even forgetting the danger he was in.

……

High in the sky.

Elian noticed that Little Grete was teetering on the edge of awakening his warlock bloodline. The surging magical power he was about to unleash gradually diminished due to the changing situation. He shrugged and smiled.

"Just now, it was so close."

"But it doesn't matter..."

……

The next second, Little Grete saw cracks spreading across the golden shield in front of Teacher Joseph, which had been struck by two giant axes.

Click.

The translucent shield was severely damaged and shattered into pale golden fragments.

"Damn human, let's see what other magic you have left?"

The two orcs raised their axes once more, roared at the air, their eyes wide with rage, veins bulging, and muscles bulging.

"violent"!
They are orc professionals who have taken up the "Barbarian" class.

They are even more difficult to deal with than ordinary orcs!

The two orc barbarians sprang up again and charged at Joseph, who lay on the ground, looking terrified.

It's over, this time it's really over... Joseph closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the giant axe to fall.

As one of the orcs raised his giant axe, he glanced at Little Grete, who was walking out from behind him:
"Little brat, I'll kill you after I kill this man!"

Two giant axes were raised above Joseph's head.

"Teacher..." Little Grete cried out in immense despair and fear.

why?

Everything had just started to get better; those brutal orc clans had left; the undead had entered the village, making it possible to cultivate more wasteland; he and many other children were eagerly absorbing magical knowledge, hoping to break free from the fate of their ancestors and embark on a new beginning…

Why, at this particular time, are there still orc remnants in the land of Eldoron, attacking their villages?
An uncontrollable anger erupted in the boy's heart, like a volcano that had been accumulating for a long time and then burst forth!

The orcs let out ferocious laughter and war cries, and two giant axes ripped through the dark night sky, falling towards Teacher Joseph on the ground.

"Goodbye to your brain, human!"

Blood splattered.

Warm, crimson fountains gushed forth, specks of bright red drifting in the darkness and settling on the ground.

"This……"

Everyone was stunned, frozen in place, watching the scene unfold before them.

—Whether it was the few terrified drunken villagers around them, the shocked and frozen little Greta, or the teacher Joseph who had survived the ordeal.

The two orcs were reduced to half their bodies in the fiery explosion and collapsed with a thud.

Little Gretel trembled on the spot, and sparks drifted and danced in his outstretched hand.

“What did you just do, Gret?” Teacher Joseph looked at the boy behind him in horror.
