Chapter 82 - Battle In The Alley Part 1

Shen Xia, Lilith, and Quan Xinya were walking down the street almost to the corner they would need to turn to head to their house when a black van suddenly screeched its tires as it braked in front of them. Six men jumped out of the van and rushed towards them. "Damnit! Xiaxia this way!"

Quan Xinya did not hesitate to grab Shen Xia's hand and turn around to run away. Lilith also followed suit. Shen Xia wanted to cry because she was still wearing her weights! But she had no choice but to run at this time! 

"Lilith, how strong are they?" Quan Xinya asked.

"They are all low ranking Orcs, but there are six of them, and we have no idea how many more are around. We can't rightfully fight out in the open. So take a left down the alley next to the laundromat." Lilith instructed. If they were in an alleyway, Lilith could cast a spell to create a barrier to deal with the orcs. That would be the only way they could fight them easily. 

"On it!" Quan Xinya pulled harder on Shen Xia's hand as she sped up. 

"Xiaxia, when we fight, be very careful. Orcs will use a lot of different methods to knock out their victims, whether it is knocking them out physically or with drugs. As long as they capture you, they do not care." Lilith warned.

"I will be careful. The General was not able to resist my illusions before, although he was more experienced. But because I know it works on him, there is no way these guys who are weaker than him can resist it." Shen Xia's blood was boiling with excitement. Her instincts were telling her to fight with everything she had!

"That's good to hear. But still, be careful of their weapons. They have a habit of coating them with a special knockout drug." Lilith wanted to make sure Shen Xia knew what to be aware of. Even for Lilith, it had been a long time since she had fought orcs as they would normally never fight on the surface. There was an unspoken law that kept the higher races from doing battle in the open in order to not be discovered by the humans. So only small skirmishes would happen in the dark alleys of the underworld.

The three girls arrived at the deepest part of the alley before they finally came to a stop. Behind them, the six men in black also slowed their steps as they stood in front of the three girls. "Looks like you finally decided to give up."

"Give up? You know more than anyone that the other races can't fight in the open. Isn't that why you so blatantly tried to kidnap us out in the open?" Lilith replied with a snort. She knew these orcs did what they did on purpose. They loved to watch the girls they were preying on run around like rabbits. It gave them a sense of superiority. 

"Hah! The General did say you girls were not normal. So it seems he was right." One of the men in black stepped forward. He seemed to be the leader of the group. "We do not know which races you girls are from, but I can say this much for sure. No matter what, you girls will become whores for our clan. Since the General wants the two of you naked on his bed, the other one..."  The man in black looked at Quan Xinya, his eyes tracing up and down her body, causing her to feel sick to her stomach. "You will be passed around by me and my boys while your friends watch. They can watch helplessly from the side as we ravage every one of your holes." 

Shen Xia frowned and instinctively pulled Quan Xinya behind her. Just as they wished to protect her, she also wished to protect them. These girls had befriended her and treated her like family. She had already recognized them as her sisters in her heart. "Xiaxia, don't worry. They can't get out of the barrier now that it is up." 

"Haha! Do you think a barrier will do anything? It only helps us more! Get them!" The lead man in black yelled out. 

"Get ready!" Lilith waved her hand, creating a blade of ice. She got into a fighting stance and readied herself for the incoming attack. She did not take these orcs seriously. She could kill tens of them with ease. But with Shen Xia and Quan XInya here, with things under her control, it would be good practice for them. Although she would not tell them it would be an easy fight in order to keep their awareness up.

The barrier she created could not be entered. It would keep humans away and keep those of the underworld out. The three of them were now able to go all out with no problems of being discovered. "Xiaxia, Xinya, don't hold back! Just watch out for the weapons, and this will be an easy fight!" 

"Right!" The two answered at the same time. Shen Xia's lips curled up as her fangs grew and her fingers elongated. She took out the small knife that she had strapped to her thigh and tossed her bag to the side. Quan Xinya also took out the dagger she had on her thigh as well. 

"Oh? It looks like you three are ready and raring to go. Haha! I like it. I like them feisty!" The man in black yelled as he pulled out a knife and swung it at Lilith, who was closest to him.

"Are all orcs as cocky as you!?" Lilith asked as she parried his attack and kicked him in the stomach, pushing off him and jumping back. 

Shen Xia saw two men coming at her, stabbing towards her. She quickly used her fox art which she called shadow clone, creating a copy of herself and diving into the shadows to dodge the attacks.

Quan Xinya had three bearing down on.. She snorted and quickly parried the two attacks coming after her while spinning her body around, clicking a button inside her shoe with her toe to allow the hidden knife in her shoe to slide out of her heel and slamming her foot into one of the orcs' heads.
