The Rise Of A Porter

Chapter 109 - Once An Enemy, Always An Enemy (4)

"Please have mercy! Don't kill me!" The guard stationed outside the room exclaimed.

"The people all of you tormented here had a families, friends, and loved ones they cared for. If you didn't showed any mercy to them, then how the hell could you even expect someone else to forgive you and let you live?" Arnold mumbled as he killed yet another guard outside the room he had just been in. ​​

'The experience I'm getting isn't half bad' Arnold thought and as usual, dumped it all to increase the level of his <blood maniac> subclass, 'Tsk. Too bad, killing humans doesn't add to my Headhunter sub quest. At least I've got the blood concoction from them... baby Wyvern would be happy to have such a diverse meal.'

He thought killing humans might contribute towards his headhunter sub quest but it didn't as it was clearly mentioned that he needed to kill 300 'monsters' and even though the humans he was killing were no less than monsters, still they technically didn't count as monsters.

'They are even worse than monsters. Maybe the system to that in account.'

Not to mention, he didn't forget to take the vessel filled with monster blood either, and stored it in his inventory while he stored the bodies of the monsters in his domain for... research purposes, after all if he could solve the mystery behind the weird concoction of blood then he could effectively use it in numerous ways, such as, he could use them to increase his *army* or his workforce or maybe he could even use them as spies. But he was sure about one thing, Alice couldn't have accomplished this all by herself... someone was definitely backing her and he had to know who that person exactly was, and for that he had to capture Alice. No matter the cost.

Apart from all that, something else was bothering him as well. Ever since he killed the ones inside the treatment room, he expected a large group of guards it warriors to surround him and attack him, but nothing of that sort happened.

"Why haven't someone noticed anything yet?" Arnold mumbled and quickly checked his surroundings, there were no cameras present there but still there was no way Alice would've forgotten about him after all the crap she spewed about making him, her slave.

Moreover the number of guards stationed along the corridor was much lesser than he had seen when he used his foresight, speaking of foresight, he thought about using it once again, right then and there but doing that would've caused him some trouble. Whenever he was used the foresight ability, his body went into a defenseless state, which was a big no no. Thus he decided to continue the search for Alice on his own.

As he got closer to the gate that separated the treatment wing from the main building, Arnold heard some noises as if there was a skirmish between two groups. He slightly opened the door and saw the chaos that was going on.

The hundred ogres that had been peacefully standing outside had gone berserk and were killing anything and everything that got in their sight, and the human guards were busy handling them though obviously they were failing miserably at it. The magicians of the church were busy casting random spells aimed towards the ogres while the brawlers, tanks, and swordsmen were busy attacking and defending at the same time. It looked like they've managed to kill a couple of ogres but the cost was high as well. More than a dozen humans have already been either killed or severely injured. Things weren't looking good for the humans.

'So that's why no one was paying attention to what was happening inside the treatment wing. They were already busy having their as*ess kicked by the ogres.' Arnold silently nodded.

"WHY THE HELL ARE THE OGRES ATTACKING US!" One of the mages yelled as he used wind type magic to push back a couple of ogres.

"I DON'T KNOW! SOMEONE CONTACT ZUUKA!" Another mage yelled.

'You don't but I know why.' Arnold thought.

He had expected something like this to happen, after he killed that tall guy who seemingly controlled the ogres. It was all a theory that Arnold had made. According to Arnold, once the one who controlled the monsters died, there had to be some kind of change in the behaviour of the monsters.

Honestly, Arnold thought that the ogres would go into comatose and remain unresponsive to anyone else's commands which would've made his fight with the church a lot easier. But that clearly didn't happen. Even so he was more than happy with the outcome of his actions as now he didn't have to worry about the guards or the church people anymore.

"I don't like to be left out of a party though..." Arnold smiled, "Guess, I'll have to invite myself then."

He opened his void and called out his army of summons to join the fray. Even though their numbers had decreased a bit, they were still more than enough to handle the humans and the ogres.

"Looks like its payback time." Arnold smirked when he saw, Asterios huffing like a crazy bull, "I'm gonna give you guys one instruction - kill anyone and anything you see, except Alice. I don't care whether she's missing a limb or two, but you won't kill her. I'm the one who'll do it. Alright then, GO!"

With a single command, his troops tore the door down, and charged at the humans in front of them.

The defenseless magicians who were at the rear, were the first ones to die from the sudden and unexpected attack of his summons. The unfortunate ones who managed to survive the initial attack, were soon stomped to death by the golems. Only a single word was repeating in the minds of his summons, 'Kill... Kill... Kill!'

"Where the hell these things appeared fro-" Asterios crushed the head of the swordsman before he could say anything else.

With the mages out of the picture, the rest of human forces was sandwiched between the ogres and Arnold's summons. They knew they couldn't fight both of them simultaneously as they were outnumbered, nor could they escape from there. They were about to die and they couldn't do anything to save themselves. It was inevitable.

Soon the slaughter resumed and the humans were killed one after another, but they didn't go down without putting up a fight either.

Every now and then either one of Arnold's summons or one of the ogres fell by their hands but there were clearly more casualties on the human side. They were fighting a losing battle and Arnold wasn't interested in them, and this he started searching for Alice.

"Were are you hiding, priestess?" Arnold mumbled as he went upstairs to look for Alice, "Luck was on your side last time, and you managed to run away... but it ain't happening this time."
