Behind him, the orc loomed, nearly a head taller. Its skin was a dark, mottled green and it held a massive battleaxe with both hands. If anyone else had been wielding it, its sheer size and heft would've made it unusable, ridiculously impractical. Yet in the orc's hands, it was a fearsome force to contend with. The axe whistled through the air, slicing through the ancient tree trunks effortlessly, like a hot knife through butter. Negi danced backwards, narrowly avoiding another swing. Behind him lay a path of destruction and fallen trees, where the orc had chased him into the dense forest. I can't keep running away. I need to get rid of this orc. Unfortunately, at that moment, he tripped over a tree root and went sprawling on the ground.
It seemed to take an eternity for the orc to arrive. Slowly, its shadow crept over the ground. I need to get up. His legs felt leaden. Looking up, the orc loomed, seemly even taller than before. He could see the orc's leering face staring down at him. Can't run away now, can you? Didn't even put up a fight. Pitiful. The orc raised its battleaxe high above its head in preparation for the killing blow. Pitiful. Pitiful. Pitiful. The orc's words resounded in his head. I'm going to die here in the forest.
He didn't know whether it was the orc's words or the vision of his impending doom that jolted him into action. It didn't matter. Ras tel Ma Scir Magister novem spiritus lucis, coeuntes Nine glowing orbs gathered him. He couldn't say why, but he felt - no, he knew he had something important to accomplish. Something important was unfinished. If only I could remember... As the blade came down, Negi propelled himself off the ground and straight towards the orc and released the glowing balls of light simultaneously. For an instant, it seemed as if the light had encased him. Ouka Houken Negi slammed into the orc, flinging it backwards. The axe was diverted from its deadly course as it was launched away as well. However, Negi wasn't quite fast enough and the axe slashed through his back as it flew through the air. Not bad, but you'll have to do better. The orc got up, apparently unharmed, and started charging at him again.
This time, Negi was ready. Instead of running away, he firmly stood his ground. Ras tel Ma Scir Magister septidecim spiritus lucis, coeuntes Magical glowing orbs began to gather again, more this time. He could see the orc's arrival, the wild swing of the axe. Ducking under the axe, he stepped forwards, coming up right in front of the orc. Sagitta Magica Convergentia Lucis The orbs gathered togethered and coalesced, forming a projectile not unlike an arrow. The projectile struck the orc's chest almost instantly, causing it to stagger backwards a few steps. Not good enough. Those puny arrows can't hurt me. The orc seemed just as fine as it had been before.
How strong is this orc? Any normal person would've been hurt by that. This place is rather unusual though. He could feel himself tiring again, the adrenaline wearing off. I can't keep up for much longer. I need to finish the fight in the next blow. He started running again, buying time to charge up the spell I just need thirty seconds. The orc followed close behind, taunting him. You coward! Running away? You won't get far! He ignored the orc. I just need to hold out for a little longer. The orc was clearly gaining on him. He found himself gasping for air, running as fast as he could. Almost there...
