Zora and the orc were evenly match as of now, Zora right before catching the tree had marked herself with the mark and was using it to give her a extra boost to all her physical abilities to help match the orc, which was also the reason she managed to save Brunilda bu forcing her body to move forward with speeds she couldn't do without her ability.
Zora and the orc continued to swing their trees at each other with neither side seemingly to have the edge over the other side, but that was only Zora and the orc who were evenly matched.
Colville who had gotten behind the orc had a smirk on his face, but Colville snapped his finger and a blank card appeared in his hand, but what was such a card supposed to do in this situation? Well we are about to figure out.
But the card began to give out a blinding light and it began to suck the orc towards it, but it only served to weaken the orc, but Colville wasn't the only one who was ready to help, Brunilda who had just moved Pasha a little away had come back and dashed behind the orc and used her sword to cut both of the orcs ankle joints with the orc stumbling down on it's knees.
Brunilda finally getting the chance threw her tree at the orc and with the orc having to deflect it Zora jumped forward and managed to touch thr orcs belly with a mark appearing on it, and in the same instance a crushing weight appeared on top of the orc once again, with the orc falling down to the ground immediately with no strenght left to resist the weight.
The orc was laying on the ground with a angry look on his face, he resisted with all of his strenght, but Zora make sure she was within 10 meters of the orcs entire body to make sure it can't escape.
The orc had a defeated expression on his face, but he eventually spoke. "What's the point in living in this new world if you are still a slave?" The orc let out a sigh. "My name is Jackson and back in my ol-" But before Jackson could finish his sentence Brunilda had stabbed him in the head killing him in the same instance. "Thay's what you get for having no head protection you stupid orc." Brunilda muttered stabbing the Jackson's head again and again to make sure it was dead.
Pasha who had lowly made his way over to Brunilda and drag her away from the dead monster corpse, Zora and Colville both went over to make sure the dead was in fact dead which it obviously was with Zora muttering. "So brutal." With Colville muttering. "I wanted to capture him, but it seems I can't anymore."
But Zora and Colville both couldn't wait around, they had to regroup with Nade so both of them quickly inside the walls leaving Pasha and Brunilda alone outside the walls.

"Do you want to be my friend?" I looked at Mayur with high hopes of him accepting, Mayur looked at me with a surprised look and replied with. "Sure, I would love to be your friend." I hadn't noticed it, but Mayur seemed even younger than I did, maybe 14, yet this kid had already been through so much.
I wanted to make sure he never had to go through anything alone again, I will make sure I was here to help him anytime he needed help with something. "I will be here anytime you need it Mayur, even if I don't know you that well yet, I will always be here."
The silence after I said it was comfortable, I had said what I wanted to say and Mayur looked happy with him asking. "Do you promise?" He looked at me with hope in his eyes and I replied with a simple. "Yes, I promise."
*
But fate had other plans, exactly as Folke had finished his promise, Mayur had begun to disappear, Mayur had a visually panicked expression on his face with a hint of confusion mixed in, he looked up at Folke for help, but Folke was just as confused as he was.
Folke looked around and his eyes landed on me, I had finally gotten the upper hand over the other Mayur and dealt him a fatal blow with him bleeding out on the ground, we hadn't spoken a word to each other since we were in the cave, I had nothing left to ask him and he had no question for me, I was about to finish him off with a strike to the neck before I heard Folke behind me.
"Stop! Don't kill him if you do the other Mayur will disappear." Folke was levitating towards me, but when he reached me he went through me without doing anything.
But I didn't listen to Folke, right now the best thing to do was to kill the monsters and finish our missions instead of making peace with them, cause no matter what some monsters had to die for us to complete our mission.
"Please don't do it, Mayur shouldn't die for something he wasn't in control of." Folke yelled out loud in hopes of getting me to stop, but I gave a quick strike to the other Mayur's neck wanting to finish it fast, I looked behind me and saw Mayur running towards Folke, but he disappeared when he reached Folke's arms.
Folke looked at where Mayur had disappeared and then quickly turned to me and said. "You.. you killed him, why would you he should have survived, and he was a human no less!" Folke's expression had changed quickly to an angry expression aimed right at me, but I only had one reply. "Why did he matter if he used to be a human or not? The other goblins had families too, but you didn't mind killing them did you? So tell me, is it only because he was a human you felt bad for him or what was it?"
I didn't want to continue this conversation with Folke, but luckly I could hear some familiar people in the distance had finally reached us.
"There you are Nade."
