Ogres

[Third Person POV],

The speed of the green-skinned creature identified as the ogre king by the primordial chronicle was so fast that by the time Andrew Dawn's men realized what was going on, the ogre king was already in front of their king, its fist aimed at Andrew Dawn's head to cause damage.

As Andrew watched the ogre King's fist approach his face, he immediately reacted by sending out his own punch to meet the ogre King's fist in mid-air, and when both fists finally connected, an intense gush of wind formed around them, blasting the people around both of them to different locations.

'He's strong,' both kings thought as they exchanged a brief glance before parting ways.

For one thing, the ogre king was surprised to find someone who could match him in strength in this new world full of ignorant children, whereas Andrew Dawn was more concerned that someone who was not in the top 10 of the human Ranking leaderboard could match him in strength despite his advantages and job over the majority of species in the true world.

He had always assumed that his only competitors were other humans on the leaderboard, as well as some powerful monsters, but only now did he realize how wrong he had been.

He had no idea what he was fighting except that it was a king of a certain specie race, which was strange because humans were supposed to be the only ones.

He had suspected something like this would happen because he had thought about it several times, and the content of stage 2 only confirmed his suspicions.

What he didn't expect was to be experiencing it so quickly because, despite the violent appearance of these huge green skinned creatures, it was clear from what he was seeing that these creatures were clearly organised, and the fact that they showed signs of intelligence meant that they weren't monsters.

The ogre king made things even more grand, as if for the huge green skinned creatures to have a king, they must have a civilization that requires or can have a king.

At least, that was Andrew Dawn's line of thought as he stared at the ogre king in front of him from a distance, ignoring everything else as this was the biggest threat here.

Andrew Dawn was also curious as to why the ogre king was so powerful despite him being more than ten levels higher.

It did not make sense given that the ogre king was also sealed, and while Andrew Dawn had no idea what this sealed meant, he believed that this should at the very least be a state where the ogre king's power was limited in some way, so why was the ogre king still strong?

Andrew Dawn was thinking about these things quickly when he noticed the ogre king open his mouth to speak.

"You're strong," the ogre king said hoarsely and in a strange language that Andrew Dawn would not have understood if he hadn't brought the basic universal language and if the ogre king's language wasn't also in it.

When Andrew Dawn heard the ogre king's words, his face became even more solemn as he again closely observed the ogre king without responding for a while.

If Andrew Dawn wasn't already convinced that these ogres were intelligent, he was now.

The fact that they could communicate set them apart from monsters.

After a few thoughts passed through Andrew Dawn's mind, he opened his mouth to address the ogre king in the same language that had previously been spoken.

"What exactly do you want?" Andrew Dawn inquired cautiously, as this was something he was also interested in.

What prompted the ogres to attack them in the first place?

Although he was curious about how they appeared, he decided to leave that for another time, and he also doubted that the ogre king would bother telling him anything about it.

The most important thing was to figure out why the ogres were here.

They must be looking for something here to start fighting.

They didn't just start fighting because they wanted to see some blood, did they?

Although Andrew Dawn wasn't sure if this was the cause of the fight, he was certain that it wasn't his men who started it.

He gave them a rule to mostly attack when they were attacked.

This was said to keep them from inadvertently provoking a monstrous monster and drawing its attention.

When Andrew Dawn saw the huge green skinned creature in front of him open his mouth to speak, he focused on the words the ogre king was about to say.

"I want those herbs," the ogre king said, pointing to a specific area in the mountain range, but even without looking, Andrew Dawn knew what he was referring to, and his answer was going to be no.

The herbs were not the reason this location was added to his territory, but they were one of them.

Although the herbs appeared to be something small to give away, it was a different story because these were magical herbs and, while he didn't have anyone to make good use of them, that didn't mean he was going to release and give this treasure he found first to another person just because he asked.

So, without thinking too hard about it, Andrew Dawn responded directly to the ogre king.

"No," he said, as the ogre king's ugly face became even more ugly when he heard this.

"Then die and turn into food!!!" The ogre king yelled these words like a battle cry and charged at Andrew Dawn.

Although this violent behaviour surprised Andrew Dawn, he was not intimidated.

Although the ogre king could match him in strength, his strong fort wasn't even physical strength to begin with, and it was only one of them.

Andrew Dawn planned to show this ogre king why he was still referred to as a king in the apocalypse and is one of the few humans leading the human race.
