Fate Online: Shadow

Michael immediately activated his [Shadow Dance] skill, as the huge crude axe passed through his cloudless like body, and struck the ground in front of him and exploded!

Boom!

But Michael just ignored and continued moving forward, and while he may have dodged some of the attacks coming from the Orcs earlier, he had also received some that he didn't manage to dodge.

So he immediately took this chance and drank one of his two Greater Healing Potions!

[Greater Healing Potion]

Requirements: Level 20

Restores 500 Health

Max Stack: 10

Cooldown: 60 seconds.

The potion immediately brought him back to eighty percent of his health.

'Just a bit more!' Michael was anxiously yelling inside him as there's only two seconds left before his skills disappears, and he knew that if he doesn't get passed the walls within that time frame, then he's dead!

Because he would be surrounded by then, even his [Shadow Blur] would be deemed useless if that happens!

After all, he just realized that even those Orcs who are considered kids in an Orc Tribe is chasing after him with ferocious expressions while angrily waving their weapons around themselves!

Michael didn't even know whether to laugh or cry at that sight! After all, getting chased by monsters that's just a bit taller than a ten year old kid while carrying weapons two times their size was a like a huge stab to his pride as an assassin!

F*ck!

"Ahhh!" Michael issued an angry howl as he put all of his into fleeing from the angry mob behind him!

'Just a bit more!' Michael yelled in his heart, then at the same time, his skill's duration is finally coming to an end, but then his expression suddenly turned sharp as he noticed that an object is flying towards him from the corner of his eye, and its flying fast!

'What a blunder! There's also an Elite High Orc here!' Michael cursed in anger, it was because he didn't see this monster when he was surveying this tribe a few hours prior!

Well...Michael is seriously having a bad day, like a normal human being would be.

And not only did he encountered multiple trouble and annoying events today. Now, he's also facing trouble after trouble inside the game!

What luck from someone who came back in time!

Michael rolled forward to dodge, as the spear grazed passed his back and taking a huge chunk of his health, sending him into a critical condition which he could get himself killed if another attack lands on him.

Of course, Michael wouldn't let that happen after all the difficulties he had gone through, so he immediately downed a lesser health potion, freeing him from his critical condition, but still enough to get himself killed in one shot.

But his struggle would be over soon! He just need one more step before he could use his [Shadow Blur] and get pass their crude walls!

ROAR!

But it seems his luck today is down the drain as a piercing roar reverberated throughout the surroundings, which immediately halted Michael in his tracks as he's currently suffering from a stunned state!

'Move!' Michael cursed, as his eyes started getting red from anger while his body continued to tremble as he could feel death looming over him!

Shua!

Swoosh!

But in the nick of time, the stunned state finally wore off, and Michael immediately used [Shadow Blur] and appeared standing at the top of the small wall as he barely dodged the axe that the High Orc Chieftain swung towards him, with the intent to slice him into two!

But even though he managed to dodge it in the nick of time, he was only left with only a percent of his health left, and that's just him getting hit by the force behind the swing from that attack!

So without any choice, Michael immediately jumped down from on top of the wall and made a run for it, while the High Orc Chieftain just rammed through the wall, destroying a portion of it and continued chasing after Michael, while half of High Orcs followed their Chieftain while the other half quickly stopped in their tracks and remained in their village to protect it.

'F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!'

'Why the hell does this group of monsters not stop chasing after me!?'

Michael cursed inside as he just ran and ran, and continued to execute his [Shadow Blur] everytime its cooldown is over, while the mob of monsters continued to chase angrily behind him.

If it wasn't for the complicated terrain of this forest, then these mobs of monsters would have caught up with him a long time ago!

And he would have been long dead by then!

'Motherf*ckers! I'll have my revenge one day!'

Michael angrily yelled inside as he made a dashed passed a tree with cross mark engraved on its trunks.

ROAR!!!

The Orc Chieftain and its men just stopped before the cross mark and issued a roar full of rage, as it looked towards Michael, whose silhouette is slowly receding as he got further away from them.

It was because the place that Michael had ran into is the territory of the pack of Thunder Wolves that chased after him before when he suddenly made a mistake and accidentally attacked them.

Actually, they were the reason why he discovered the small tribe of High Orcs, and at the same time, him running towards the Thunder Wolves territory was a gamble.

It was because during the days he spent inside the game observing his surroundings, he noticed that those High Orcs wouldn't get passed that particular tree that Michael had marked before and they would gaze the land beyond it wariness in their eyes, but those Thunder Wolves on the other hand would just travel passed it like it was nothing to them, but they still wouldn't dare to head deeper inside the High Orc Territory though.

Which struck Michael the thought that, that particular tree along with the trees planted in that particular row or line is the territorial border between the groups of species.

This is the reason why he towards this particular direction as a gamble...and in the end, Michael won that gamble.

The gamble that the Thunder Wolves are at least stronger than the group of High Orcs combined.

Actually, he even thought that he should just let them kill him even with the lost of his hard earned experience points as long as he doesn't drop the quest item from his [Storage] space.

Meanwhile.

"Success!" Michael muttered in joy while hiding on top of tree when he saw that that mob of monsters stopped chasing behind him, and retreated in huff or anger.

Michael is on top of the tree because he's using the scent of the leaves and flowers of the trees around him to cover his scent from the sensitive nose of those Thunder Wolves, or else he would get chased by them again with how vengeful they are if they discover him.

Michael suddenly turned his head looked at two approaching Thunder Wolves that's heading towards his direction.

"Now then...how the heck do I get out of this place?"
