Chapter 113: End of Orc World
Gabriel narrowed his eyes at Gorath, the blade of Crimson Judgement still dripping with Gro’mar’s blood.
"...You want to fight the final Usurper?" he asked, voice low.
Gorath nodded firmly. "It’s not about wanting. It’s tradition. In our clan, the exiled orc who gathers strength and allies has the right to challenge the chief in one-on-one combat. If someone else interferes... the duel is considered void."
"That sounds like a great way to get yourself killed," Gabriel replied bluntly, a subtle frown on his face.
"I know." Gorath gave a sharp grin. "But I have to try. This... is my fight. You’ve already done enough for me, and I’ll take it from here."
Gabriel didn’t speak for a moment. He looked past Gorath at the glowing cavern ahead, where the third and final Usurper awaited—Dor’Zak the Earth Eater, the strongest of them all.
He felt a powerful aura coming from that direction.
If he were to guess, the Earth Eater was at least level 50.
Then he glanced at Gorath.
[Gorath – LV.44]
His level was far below the upcoming boss, and while his resolve was admirable, Gabriel knew resolve didn’t block critical hits.
Furthermore, this mission was very important to him. What if Gorath fell in battle? Would that cause him to fail the mission?
