The earth spear separate Swa's right leg from his body and plunged deep into the ground. But Swa didn't react, he just stared blankly with wide eyes in disbelief.

Because the spear never target his right leg, Bon didn't miss the throw, and Swa didn't have time to dodge the spear. The spear only cut his right leg because it had changed course after piercing the chest of the orc standing in front of him.

With a hole in his chest he smiled "Brother, why did you never pay attention?" Laya said his last words before taking his last breath.

Laya's knees hit the ground and his body drooped. His glazed red eyes slowly began to lose their light as his breathing stopped.

When Laya's fell to the ground, Swa could only stare as if he didn't understand what was going on. The world seemed to slow down because his mind froze. His severed right leg made his body wobble. Swa didn't blink a bit even though his body fell to the ground. His gaze did not leave his brother's body, which was no longer moving. It wasn't until his head hit the ground and his vision closed that Swa realized what had just happened.

In order to save his brother, Laya uses his body as a shield and manages to change the direction of Bon's spear until it only cuts off Swa's leg. Even so, Laya only managed to do it by paying with his life.

Swa raised his head again hoping that what he has just seen was wrong but what he found was still his brother's body that didn't move anymore. The brother who came from the same mother, the brother who grew up with him, the brother who was shy but still loved him, and the brother who saved Swa's life even though he had to pay with his life.

Even though he only lost one leg, Swa felt like he couldn't move his whole body. Only his right hand which was not holding the mace could still move. He grabbed the ground and tried to pull his body forward. Swa crawled with a mouth that kept mumbling "no.. no..no..no" over and over again without him realizing it.

"Hahahaha" seeing him succeed in killing an orc Bon laughed happily "Hahahaha—" a massive mace rushed towards his head and then...

Splat!!!

Bon's head exploded and his whole brain splattered on the ground. The brain fragments were scattered up to 3 meters from the place. Mige swung his mace and splat away the remnants of Bon's brain that were still attached to it. He saw Swa who was still crawling with one hand, approaching Laya's body which was no longer moving. Mige could only let out a long breath.

"BOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!" A cry of sorrow erupted from Jon's mouth. His often empty eyes were filled with the fire of anger and resentment. Behind it, there is a feeling of sadness.

Jon went berserk and blew away all the orcs that tried to block him. His massive body was filled with power that surpassed even the orcs. Like a raging rhino, none of the orcs can stop Jon's movement. One by one they bounced off after colliding with Jon. Jon targets Mige with anger and vengeance.

Knowing this Mige tried to pull Swa who was still crawling with one hand "Swa we need to move out of here. Get up! I Will bring you to the alraune, you need to treat your wound before you die from blood loss"

But Swa's stiff body he couldn't move, his trembling mouth kept muttering "no..no..no..no..no...no.."

Hearing that Mige shook Swa's body strongly "Swa we need to move!" But Swa still responds in the same way.

Jon was getting closer. His roars of rage filled the battlefield along with the screams of pain of the flung orcs. Mige looked away from Swa and prepared to stop Jon who charged like a raging rhino.

But before Jon can get close to Mige, Goku and the rest of the center team come across. Together they hold Jon's pace with their bodies. The sound of bones creaking and flesh being torn apart rang out from their bodies. Even so, the center team managed to block Jon's pace. Goku turned his head, half of his face already broken and looking horrific with flesh and bones visible "Mige drag Swa out of here. He can't fight anymore!!" Goku shouted to Mige.

Mige nodded and pulled Swa who had managed to reach Laya and hugged him. "Swa we need to move" said Mige.

Swa just hugged Laya corpse and muttered, "shut up".

"Swa we need to move before—"

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!

A huge explosion was heard from the direction where Moku and Deak group were fighting. The explosion sounded like several meteors hitting the earth simultaneously. The explosion sounded so loud that it made their ears ring.

When they turned their heads towards the source of the explosion their eyes grew wide. The earth seemed to be split in two and one of its halves was falling towards them. Half of the sky they saw seemed to be covered by that hemisphere. They thought that this was the end of the world. Even the raging Jon returned to his senses and was frightened.

However, their survival instinct screams to immediately escape from danger. "Get to the high ground!!" Boku's scream brought the orcs back to their senses, they tried to find a tree to climb. However, due to the Deak spell, all the trees have turned into treants. As a result, they have to run to a higher place.

"Swa wake up! We need to run!" Mige shook Swa again but he still hugged Laya's stiff body with empty eyes. Mige became furious, he threw up his right hand and hit Swa hard in the face, BAM!

"Get the fuck up Swa!!! Do you want Moku to lose both of his brothers today?!!"

Mige's punch brought Swa back to his senses and his vacant eyes returned to focus. He saw Laya who was already lifeless and the avalanche that would overwhelm them. Swa carried Laya on his back and with one leg he stood "I'm sorry Mige, I lost my mind. Help me bring Laya's body back. Moku needs to see him for the last time" Swa said pleadingly. He knew that his situation would hold Mige off, coupled with having to bring Laya's body maybe this would cause them to be buried alive.

Mige said nothing, he helped Swa carry Laya's body, and together they ran away from the place. But with Swa who could only jump on one leg, they couldn't run very far.

Kagan and Torgan came to their aid on the way. Kagan lost an arm and half of Torgan's shoulder was crushed. Even so, the four of them helped each other to carry Laya and Swa's crippled bodies.

But like a futile effort, the 4-meter-high avalanche was getting closer and closer to them. Everything that stands in his way is like being swallowed up by the earth. The boulders rolled down carried by the ground that flowed like water. The green bushes were uprooted and carried away by the currents. They also know that they will not be able to escape from this avalanche.

Swa looked at his friends who accompanied him. Mige who was willing to wait for him, Kagan and Torgan who had run first but turned back to help him. They did not complain in the slightest when they had to carry the limp Swa and the dead Laya.

If they weren't burdened by him and Laya maybe they could still survive this avalanche. But instead, they turn and face the death that may take the life of one of them or all of them.

With a voice full of regret Swa said " Guys, forgive me. Maybe I brought you to death... Mige, Kagan, Torgan forgive me and Laya for slowing you down" Swa bowed his head.

"What are you talking about Swa? You and Laya are our brothers too. Even though we don't have the same mother but we were born in the same generation. The same generation as Moku" Kagan replied with a smile. He pulled Swa's hand that rested on his shoulder closer.

"I agree with Kagan. If we are going to die then we better die together hehehe" Torgan chuckled. He patted Swa's back.

"Guys let's fight together again in The One's Heaven" Mige said the last word. He fixes Laya's position on his back.

Swa stared through the avalanche that filled his vision as if he saw his remaining brother fighting against a god.

'Moku if you win and survive. Please make orcs become the greatest monster race ever. Forgive your weak brother who can't take care of Laya. I hope we will fight together again in The One's heaven.

Then they were buried.

...

A few minutes later, the expanse of the outskirts of the Bog forest which was filled with green bushes and lush trees turned into a barren land without any life at all.

Even so, small animals and insects seem to be trying to get out of the dirt that has buried them. Even natural disasters that can destroy civilizations of thousands of years will not be able to destroy these little lives.

Swa woke up, he felt something squeeze his chest and his breath hitched. With the remaining hand, he pushed the rock that was crushing him and managed to get out of the ground that was piling him up.

Swa dragged his body out and looked to see if there were any surviving orcs like himself. With drooping eyes, Swa watched the orcs one by one come out of the ground that had buried them. They all survived the great avalanche. Swa smiled.

However, not only the orcs survived but their enemies also survived.

Jon stood unsteadily, one arm missing and blood dripping from his shoulder. Almost all the clothes on his body were torn and no longer formed. A splinter of wood pierced his thigh until he had to stand on shaky knees. Even so, his eyes still smoldered with vengeance. He would not die before killing all the orcs that had taken his brother's life.

His innocent mind forced his body to keep moving beyond his limits. If left unchecked then Jon's heart will burst on its own but before that happens he will kill as many orcs as possible.

Seeing their enemy still standing the orcs pushed their bodies to their feet as well. They tied their hollow stomachs, supported their crippled legs, tore their swollen eyelids, and straightened their broken necks.

The orcs took anything that was near them, whether it was stones, wood chips, bones from animal carcasses, or bones from their severed body parts to be used as weapons.

The orcs mounted their silat stances while Jon prepared his spell.

Without warning and without instructions they charged each other with a cry that shook the fear of death.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

The battle isn't over yet.
