The Weak Have Become The Strong

Aleric went after with an intent to kill, his bloodlust could be felt by the enemy and they picked up their pace.

"Don't let yourself be caught." The Chieftain ordered and gritted his teeth for not having things go according to his plan. He divided his force to attack two different villages when he heard that Lord Enzo has been summoned to the palace. He had no idea that a boy just a little above 12 would destroy the plan he took so long to devise.

"You guys can't escape me." Aleric cast a fire spell and threw it at them. 

"We can take him chief." One of the orcs that never saw Aleric in action tried to engage the teenage boy in combat. "Glory to the orcs!" He screamed and some of the orcs that never saw Aleric in action attacked together with him.

"Stop." Before their chieftain could order them to stop, they have already rushed towards the teenage boy who was running towards them also.

"Out of my way peasants." With a single swing of his sword that was enhanced with wind magic, Aleric severed a lot of orcs in half.

"He is a monster." The orc that was confident he could take on Aleric muttered before his head was severed off.

"Don't try to engage him, run." The chief ordered as he realized that was the best option. He knows his other troops that went to attack the other village would have little to no chance of surviving. Regardless of that, he made sure to tell them where to rendezvous after the attack, he was hoping that they would already be there waiting for them. 

"You are not going anywhere?" Aleric stepped on the ground and spikes protruded from the spike knocking them around and killing some of them.

"You touched a girl close to my heart." He casted several ice bullets and shot them toward the orcs. After seeing the ice magic of Morgana, Aleric started studying ice magic too. It's not as good as his fire magic but it was enough to reduce the numbers of the orcs. Tatia and the rest of the girls the orcs kidnapped were locked in an iron cage that was being dragged by four warwolves.

"I thought the young lord was a weakling." One of the girls spoke. They were watching what was going on and seeing how hundreds of orcs were defenseless against a young boy.

"He said something about a girl close to his heart." Because Aleric was shouting they were all hearing what he was saying. They all turned to Tatia who haven't spoken since and had all her attention on the battle before her. Even in such a situation, her heart softened when she heard Aleric speak about the girl close to his heart.

"I wish I was the girl he spoke of." A girl that seem to be 15 years old muttered as she looked at Tatia. 

Aleric continued his onslaught, and the orcs wondered if he would ever get tired. The Orcs circled Aleric as they discovered that running away was no longer an option. It didn't matter to Aleric if they circled him or came one after the other, he was determined to kill them all. For the orcs that escaped Aleric's blade, he sure kills them with a spell. Aleric has been painted dark green with the blood of the orcs he killed.

"Clear the path." The chieftain ordered the remaining orcs that were not numbered up to 30. Aleric was truly the bane of their existence. He noticed that the breathing of Aleric has become shallow. It was already sunset and the chieftain found it difficult to believe that Aleric fought for so long.

"I admire your strength, for a child like you to have fought for this long alone. If only your knight had caught up with us, they would have helped you." The orcs traveled a great length because of the warwolves, if it wasn't because of the leaping spell Aleric was using, he wouldn't have caught up with them. 

"I can't believe you killed all these orcs and warwolves without getting a single injury." The Chieftain's words were filled with admiration for Aleric.

"Are you going to talk all day or fight?" Aleric took a fighting stance.

"Kill the girls if I am to lose." The chieftain muttered an order before engaging Aleric in single combat. Aleric knew that the chieftain was planning something so he was being careful not to fall into his trap.

"You have finally exhausted yourself." Though Aleric was using his heart as a mana core, he was still a young boy with the mana of a 3rd class magic warrior. Fighting for so long alone has exhausted him both mentally and physically.

"I still have enough strength to kill you off." The two kept fighting and Aleric strategically moved the fight over to the carriage. He received numerous cuts from the Chieftain's ax but he made sure to get where he wanted.

"You fools!" The chieftain barked as he noticed that Aleric was now standing in front of the carriage. Aleric smirked and smashed the lock open.

"Tatia my lady, help me out." None of the girls made a move to come out because they knew it wasn't safe yet.

"Glady." Tatia placed her palm on Aleric's shoulder and used her healing spell on him. It didn't help to recover his lost mana, but it healed his injuries and recovered a bit of his stamina.

"Funny, you all are where I want you to be." After the chieftain engaged Aleric in single combat, Aleric started casting a 3rd class spell all over the battlefield. Every corner they fought and he made Aleric bled, Aleric made sure to use his bed to cast a spell. What Aleric was about to do would greatly weaken him but he had no other option. Aleric raised his sword towards the sun that almost disappeared from the sky, the spell he was about to perform needed the sun, so he need to be fast before the sun disappeared.

"Solar flare." At Aleric's word, a magic circle appeared where the orcs gathered, and fire hotter than the fire Aleric has been using went up as a pillar of flame. The pillar of flame engulfed the remaining orcs and only one of them had the agility to react. The orcs chieftain was quick enough to jump out of the circle and it only cost him his left arms. The fire lasted only for a few seconds but it was enough to turn the orcs to ashes.

"I have greatly underestimated you." The orc was about to accept his fate when Aleric fell on one knee. Aleric wanted to kill them all with the spell but the strongest of them escaped and it was bad news because casting the spell took a lot from Aleric.

"Aleric!" He heard his father's voice from a distance.

"Turns out you shall live to see another day." The chieftain took one warwolves and rode out as fast as he could because he knew that nothing would save him if the 8th class warrior catch him.

"You saved us all." The girls circled the handsome boy that have saved them from being ravaged by the savage orcs. Aleric laid down his head on Tatia's lap and smiled at the feeling of being surrounded by many beauties.

"Sleep now love." Tatia stroke his head as exhaustion took over him and he slept off.

Lord Enzo Xalvador was shocked beyond words when he saw the massacre that was done by his son. He left the palace the moment he heard about the orcs' attack, he was surprised when he came back and saw the fence was still intact. The knight told him everything but he had his doubt until he saw the pillar of flame from a distance. 

"How is he?" Enzo asked the group of girls surrounding his son. He smiled as he realized that his son has a very interesting life ahead of him.

"The weak have become the strong." He muttered as he felt all his initial worries disappear and be replaced with a greater one.
