The Author's POV

As dark clouds enveloped the sky and blocked the sunlight from shining down upon the land, on a mountain range, rumbling sounds echoed across the surroundings.

-Rumble! -Rumble!

Marching through the large rocky terrain were over a thousand orcs wearing thick metallic armor that weighed over a couple of tons. With each step they took the ground beneath them shook.

"Randim gal"

Walking at the front of the army of orcs were two orcs that stood out from the rest.

A white orc and a red orc.

Presently, both of their faces were incomparably dark as their chests heaved up and down unevenly.

The legion commander, Silug, had an especially terrifying expression as the large scar on his face became even more glaring.

As we walked, a boundless bloodlust exuded from his body.

The bloodlust was so powerful that the orcs standing next to him were trembling uncontrollably.

...Almost as if they were staring at death itself.

Watching the scene from further back, with my head straight I softly said in a deep voice.

"How long do we have left?"

Walking next to me, wearing a large metallic armor that covered most of his body was Kevin who coldly said.

"Ten more kilometers..."

"Hm?"

Turning my head to the side, and noticing Kevin's attitude, I realized that he was still holding a grudge against me for the potions thing.

Rolling my eyes inside of the large metal mask I apologized.

"Alright, I'm sorry about the potions thing, you don't need to be so mad about it"

...I do understand that I was at fault here, but it's not like something would've happened.

Let's exclude his perks as the protagonist, I also had the book with me. With it I knew Kevin was going to be fine.

I wasn't dumb enough to make him do something that would end up killing him.

"Not mad? I was almost caught because you didn't tell me what they did"

"No you weren't, stop exaggerating"

He only startled a nearby orc, nothing much happened. Since the orc was too busy fighting a demon, there was no follow-up.

Turning his attention towards me, Kevin frowned inside of his mask and said

"...and how do you know that?"

From what Kevin remembered, Ren left on the opposite side of him...he shouldn't have seen him.

Without skipping a beat I responded.

"Since I got lucky and an orc died next to me, I was able to quickly change and thus saw you on the way"

Squinting his eyes, Kevin proceeded to nod his head.

"...I see"

Nope, I was actually quite far from him, but he didn't need to know that.

That aside, I finally found out why the orcs and the demons were fighting. After the count-ranked demon left, Angelica finally told me what had happened.

To summarize it

...in short, the demons ambushed the orcs.

Normally this wouldn't have been that much of a surprising event considering the fact the orcs and demons fought all of the time...however, this time, things weren't the same as usual.
