Chapter 17 - Orc Attack

The trip around the surrounding towns to pick up other new recruits to the academy took around 5 days before they stopped at a beautiful lake. Samsara liked lakes and rivers and felt a pity he couldn’t skinny dip like he did earlier, especially with Arisa and Aria with him.

The next stretch would be alongside the Forest of Darkness which would be a dangerous 4-7 days of treacherous forests filled with magical animals, orcs, goblins and trolls before reaching the midway point of the City of Stronghold which was right smack in the middle of the forest.

The rumored secret city of the dark elves is supposed to be somewhere in the forest, so most travelers were especially cautious on this leg of the journey. 

They would camp every night, several hundred meters away from the forest, allowing their horses to rest for a long period before the torturous 2 day stretch where they would be riding non stop the whole time.

Samsara and the sisters enjoyed a picnic next to the lake much to the envy of Heracles and his group. The other 3 girls in their carriage got close as well and the 6 of them spent most of their time together.

On the second night, Loki got up to relieve himself as he had eaten too much. He walked out in the darkness to a far side before relieving himself. After washing himself up in the nearby lake, he put on his robe and walked back towards the camp.

However, he was intercepted by Heracles and his gang. "Hi, what are you doing here? I would advise you don't go that direction" he smiled as he pointed at the area he took a dump in.

"Get him" Heracles smiled as his group of 6 boys pounced on Loki and started beating him up.

Samsara was still a weakling and had no physical ability to fight back as some of the teens could enhance their strength with their elemental abilities.

"Hey, don’t kill him yet" one of the boys suddenly said as they bloodied him badly.

"String him up" commanded Heracles. The boys tied him up to a tree and Heracles played with his knife.

He put his knife to Samsara's face and dragged it over his bruised cheek, cutting a line across his face.

"What are you doing with my girls, trash?" he whispered to Samsara. He ripped his robe off his body and gasped as he revealed Samsara's 10 inch cock dangling down between his legs.

The other males also gasped as they suddenly felt hugely inadequate after looking at the large monster hanging between his legs.

Heracles’ face turned red and he got angry as he imagined Loki plowing Aria and Arisa with his gigantic cock. He continued staring at the enormous cock as his fist tightened and lighted up with a fireball.

"Heracles. What are you doing?" asked one of the boys.

"Making sure this bastard no longer is a threat" Heracles said as he threw the fireball at Samsara's cock.

Samsara screamed as a fire uncontrollably burned his cock and spread over his body and up the tree.All his clothes were burned as well as his handbag which had Sharon's stuff.

Suddenly as the flame erupted around Samsara and the tree he was on, Heracles' eyes lit up as the flames revealed orcs charging from the trees behind Loki.

"Orcs!" he yelled as he ran towards the camp. Several of the other boys that followed were too slow and two of them were butchered as the orcs attacked. The orcs jumped on the two and ripped them to pieces, ripping off limbs and charging with the limb in their mouths.

Although his groin and parts of his legs and torso was badly burned, his cock was still unharmed. As a magical tool, it was indestructible.

The ropes that tied Samsara up quickly snapped from being burned and Samsara remained conscious long enough to slip into the nearby water, quenching the flames on his body.

The bag on the ground where he was suddenly exploded as the can of mace ignited and caused a cloud of capsicum to spread around the area. The orcs smelled it and immediately avoided the surrounding, instead charging at the fleeing boys and the other students and teachers. 

Under the water, Samsara immediately used healing magics on himself and at the same time using water and air magic to form a air bubble to hide underwater as the orcs passed by.

While he cast the spells, Orchid, Aria and Arisa all felt their body shudder and their mana slightly diminished as their bodies flushed with a minor orgasm.

Their minds suddenly thought of Samsara when Heracles and his followers ran screaming to the camp.

The camp immediately went on high alert as the teachers gathered the students onto the carriages and started casting spells.

"Where is Samsara? Samsara!"yelled Aria urgently. Arisa also looked around in panic as teenagers all fled towards the carriages.

She saw Heracles and his gang running towards the camp.

"Have you seen Samsara?" asked Arisa. "Dead.. the orcs got him" panted Heracles as he boarded the carriage Aria and Arisa was on.

Orchid and the other instructors urged and pushed Aria and Arisa onto their couches as they looked out for Samsara in vain. Orchid especially was particularly worried for him.

From a distance, they could see the other boys being slaughtered by the orcs. Orcs could be seen ripping up bodies and eating arms and legs like drumsticks. Some were holding decapitated heads and slurping up the eyeballs of the teens caught.

There were hundreds of orcs charging at them. The teachers tried to battle to rescue the children, but at best they could only hold the orcs back for a short period of time.

The orcs shot arrows and threw spears from afar. Several hit the carriages and even injured a few fleeing teens who barely managed to enter the carriages.

"Go!. We must go through the Forest of Despair now. We have to get to Stronghold" yelled Merlin.

Stronghold was the nearest town ahead of them, which was roughly two days away. It was built like a fortress and held up for many incursions by the orcs, goblins and dark elves.

The carriages sped off and Aria and Arisa wailed in tears for Samsara. Orchid bit her lip and ignored her worry for him, concentrating on her job as a teacher, protecting the students that were in the carriage with her.

The orcs took all the bodies of the boys they attacked, but they didn’t see as he was hiding in the lake.

The orcs charged ahead and headed towards Stronghold after them. The orcs were on the move and were apparently on the way to attack Stronghold anyway.

After several minutes, Samsara came out of the water. It was dark with only the moonlight illuminating the area.

There were dead bodies of other fellow students who were unlucky and their bodies were ripped apart leaving only bones.

He puked after seeing several grisly bodies, then sat down to carefully think about what to do next.

Suddenly, he heard noises so he hid in a bush, behind a rock. He was appalled to see even more orcs charging towards Stronghold.

He had two choices, either forwards towards Stronghold with the rest, or backwards to the towns they passed.

However, based on the numbers of orcs marching by, it was probably a better idea to go forwards, overtaking the orcs and joining his group in Stronghold.

He started moving slowly in the shadows, trying his best not to get caught by the orcs.

“Fuck, I’m in way over my head. Nexus, I need help!” he said.
