Chapter 126 The Brutal Battle Part 5

But the alraune's hopes are unlikely to come true. Three orcs lay in the middle of the arena with their wounds gaping. Almost all of their bones were shattered and some of their injuries would kill a normal human instantly.

The alraune were again busy with the evacuation and treatment process. Just like Palaka for the position of the tribal chief, Palaka for returning the girls to the tribe also does not have a referee to stop the match. Even if anyone could enter the arena and drag the dying orcs out of the arena, the participant will not bother them.

Even so, the other orcs in Claire's arena ignored the alraunes and continued their killing activities.

Boku's body rolled from the center to the edge of the arena. Every floor he passed on was covered in blood dripping from wounds all over his body. Boku's body hit the wall of the arena and twitched. No more moans came from his mouth.

"Will he wake up again?" asked Zalthu winded. One arm was broken and the other was turned in the wrong direction.

"I don't know, we need to be careful" Xago said with a groan with every breath. His eyes were almost closed due to the swelling on his cheeks and his bleeding forehead.

"He's really like an immortal. We've hit him with deadly strikes many times but he can still get up and attack us with that much power" said Olru with a frown on his face. Similar to the previous two orcs he was heavily injured.

"Where did that power come from? Are orcs that managed to reach the third level of breathing technique really this strong?" Yagnar dragged his body toward the other orcs.

Although at the beginning of the match he was unconscious due to Boku's hard blow, but he managed to get back up and made Boku cornered several times. As a result, Boku was forced to break both of his legs before he was attacked by the other orcs.

Right now they are almost feeling hopeless, Boku keeps getting up even though they repeatedly hit him with deadly attacks. Like an undead, Boku stood up again and finished them off one by one. So far, three orcs have fallen and can't fight anymore. Their injuries were so severe that there was a possibility that they would soon breathe their last.

But none of them cared about the fallen orcs. It's not that the orcs don't have compassion for their brethren but that they are used to losing brothers and they are also taught not to mourn for their brethren who died in battle.

Only a young orc who had not gone through various battles like Swa had time to weep for his brother in the midst of battle. For orcs today grieving can be done after the enemy is killed or unable to fight anymore.

Because of that, they focused all their concentration on eliminating Boku as soon as possible. There is no image in their minds if Boku is also an orc, for them Boku is an enemy that must be eliminated immediately.

It's the same situation with the fourth of them. Currently, they are friends and work together to defeat Boku but after this, they will fight each other for life and death.

Perhaps this was a form of hypocrisy from the orcs. But to them, this was natural, nothing to be ashamed of from someone who fought so earnestly.

"I don't know, but if he really passed the third level of breathing technique, Moku would definitely not allow him to join this fight. He would definitely let Boku choose Claire and not include her in the list." Zalthu analyzed.

They glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. Zalthu's opinion was very reasonable, there was no point in fighting someone who had mastered the battle form like Moku at that time.

However, if Boku has not mastered the battle form like Moku then they have nothing to worry about.

"Let me do it," said Olru volunteering.

All the orcs nodded and agreed. They moved away from each other. After Olru finished off Boku it was their turn to fight each other. For that, they had to prepare themselves from the attacks of other orcs even including the limp Yagnar.

No one knows what Yagnar is still hiding, if they are not careful then maybe Yagnar will win this match.

They all mounted their stances and prepared to attack or defend against the other orcs. Half of their attention was on Olru who was moving closer to Boku to confirm his defeat.

Olru got closer and started to lift his club, he wanted to hit the back of Boku's head and make sure he doesn't wake up again.

Boku opened his eyes and felt someone beside him and changing the bandage covering the hole in his stomach. The wound has almost healed but he must still be bandaged so that the wound does not open again.

But his eyes were surprised not because the wound was open but because the person changing the bandage wasn't the alraune he thought. She is a human woman who shouldn't be in this place, "Why are you here?" asked Boku quickly moving away from her.

"Don't move, your wound will open" she said firmly.

Boku couldn't do anything about it his body was still very weak and the high fever was still blurring his eyes. In the end, he could only let himself relax and let Claire change her bandage.

"I'm here to help the alraune who are overwhelmed" replied Claire curtly.

"Did Moku know?" asked Boku.

Although Moku doesn't seem interested in girls other than Nevare, Claire and the other three girls are still Moku's women until Moku decides to return them to the tribe. Boku doesn't want to get into trouble with his tribal chief just because of a woman.

"Of course, Moku knows, you think after having Nerphyl as his wife there is something going on in this tribe that Moku doesn't know about?" said Claire with a smile. His hands were still busy changing Boku's bandages and putting medicine on his perforated stomach. Claire was really amazed by the tenacity of an orc they could still survive even with a hole in their stomach.

"Then?" asked Boku again.

"I asked permission to help the alraune and Lina asked permission to help the goblins. We've lived in this tribe long enough even though we can't help much at least we want to feel useful" Claire said while complaining.

With the arrival of the goblins and other races of monsters, the task at hand was not less but more, especially since they were about to make a massive migration.

The girls who saw the aftermath of the battle between the monsters and the five mages could no longer remain silent. In fact, they had been wanting to do something for the orcs who had treated them well.

Even though they know that they are just prisoners and will one day be forced to give birth to orc babies, the desire to feel useful for their environment is a genuine human trait.

The real reason Moku forbade the girls from interacting with the orcs was to guard against the possibility of the orcs getting out of control and raping them. However, after the orcs' view of the girls had changed, Moku no longer forbade them to interact with each other and even encouraged it but he was too busy with various matters to be able to manage the interaction.

Therefore when Claire and Lina asked for permission to help the monsters he was very happy and immediately allowed it without any conditions.

Boku breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes again. He didn't dare to look at Claire in person because of the possibility of him becoming out of control.

Boku already knew this long before Moku knew it was different from other orcs, Boku considered this a distraction and would provide an opening when he would fight a female enemy later. But until now he had not found a way to control his lust, especially for Claire who he felt lust for her more than any other girl.

He knew this from the first time he saw Claire. His heart was shaking violently and his body was heating up if only a little bit of his consciousness keep him from raping her.

Even so, Boku is someone who adheres to orc culture and decides to take Claire and Widya to the tribe. They met with Goku who also brought Nevare, Lina, and Vivi with them.

Boku remembered the first time they met with his closed eyes.

"Thank you" Claire said suddenly.

"What for?" asked Boku, eyes closed.

"Thank you for bringing me to the tribe and protecting me along the way" Claire said in a soft voice.

Claire understood very well how attractive she was. She knew that when she met the orcs in the forest, she would end up being raped right then and there. However, an orc she didn't recognize restrained the other orcs and protected them.

Claire still remembers how Boku's eyes looked back then. It wasn't the beast-like gaze that looked at her as delicious meat as it was in the eyes of the academy teacher. Nor was it the gaze of a god who saw her like a pebble on the road like the one in Moku's eyes. But the view of a man who holds back his lust for the sake of respecting a woman.

Claire didn't know what Boku was thinking at that moment, but she felt a sense of calm and security from his gaze.

"Boku, when Moku returns the girls to the tribe, I want you to choose me" Claire said.

Boku's eyes opened halfway.

"If I have to have a husband, I want you to be my husband" Claire continued.

Boku's eyes opened wide.
