"Baronar! Co out, you swine!" Barca shouted
After Lux and his group finished collecting their spoils of war, they decided to strike while the iron was still hot. Barca had already given Lux the item that would help him subdue Baronar without risking his life during their duel.
The Half-Elf then passed it to Eiko who had snuck inside the Orc Encampnt, waiting for an opportunity to carry out her mission.
The Orc Shaman angrily ca out of his tent, followed by his two elite guards, who he had summoned after hearing Barca's shout. After hearing what happened to their stockpile of food, the Orc Shaman's temper was at an all ti high.
A minute after Baronar left his tent to face off against Barca, a baby Sli poked out her head out of one of the tents near the Orc Shaman's residence.
Seeing that her target had left his abode, Eiko hurriedly crawled towards the tent to start her mission.
The baby Sli looked around for a bit before she moved towards the table. As a Sli, she could practically walk on any surface without a problem. Once she was on top of the table, she saw a half finished plate of roasted at, a wooden cup, and a jug of so kind of drink that Eiko had no idea about.
The baby sli used her Air Strider [EX] skill to float in the air and hover above the jug of what seed to be so kind of Orc Beer.
Earlier, Barca had given Lux a bottle of slow-acting Mage Poison. Although it had the word poison on it, it wasn't lethal enough to kill a mage just because they drank it. However, it could prevent the Mage from being able to harness the mana in their bodies, therefore rendering them unable to cast spells.
And even if they could still manage to cast a spell, it would be a very difficult endeavor for them to do. Barca intended to limit Baronar's offensive abilities and whittle him down in front of his n. The Orc race was a race that obeyed the strong. Unless Barca was able to defeat Baronar in a duel, they would never recognize him as their new Master.
The only downside of this poison was the amount of ti needed before it starts to take effect, which was at least an hour or two.
'Pour all the contents of the bottle inside that jar, Eiko,' Lux ordered. Using his connection with Eiko, he checked on her progress. This was similar to how Lux was able to observe Diablo's surroundings as long as he entered a ditative state. It also allowed him to see and hear their imdiate surroundings.
The baby Sli nodded her head and took out a glass vial from inside her mouth. She then opened it and poured its contents inside the jug as Lux ordered. After the deed was done, the Half-Elf ordered Eiko to leave because Baronar might return at any mont.
Just as Eiko was about to leave the tent, she heard the sounds of footsteps headed in her direction. The baby Sli imdiately turned her head left and right in order to find a place to hide.
A few monts later, the flap of the tent opened and Baronar ca inside along with his two elite warriors.
"That bastard, Barca! How dare he do this to ?!" Baronar growled in anger as he slamd the butt of his bone staff on the ground. "Challenge to a duel in two hours? Hah! It seems that being a Half-Blood made him stupid. I knew that I should have killed him back then when I had the chance."
Baronar walked towards the table in anger and poured himself a cup of ad. He chugged everything down in less than five seconds and poured himself another cup. After regaining his calm, he resud eating his dinner.
Since he would be fighting against Barca in two hours, he needed to replenish his strength. The Orc Shaman wasn't afraid of his opponent. He had been challenged many tis in the past, and the skulls of all those challengers had been added to his collection.
Truth be told, among the four Orc Warlords, Baronar was the strongest. Even the reigning Orc Chieftain, Orobak, treated him with respect.
After finishing his al, the Orc Shaman laid down on the bed to recover his strength. However, before doing so, he ordered one of his Elite Orc Warriors to get him so water.
The Orc Warrior casually grabbed one of the clay jugs near the door to take it to the river behind the camp to get so water.
As he was headed towards his destination, he suddenly heard a giggling sound near him. The Orc Warrior beca alert and looked around him. He was still holding the jug in his left hand, while he held a War Axe in his right.
Looking at his surroundings, he saw no one, and yet, the giggling sound continued.
The Orc Warrior tried to locate the source of the sound. After a while, he realized that the sound ca from sowhere beside him.
When he looked at his hand, he saw the clay jug trembling. This confused the Orc Warrior because this was the first ti he saw a giggling clay jug. What he didn't know was that Eiko had transford into one of the clay jugs near the door in order to hide from them.
Unfortunately, the baby Sli was quite a bit ticklish. When the Orc Warrior carried her along, she wasn't able to stop herself from giggling because the clay jug was her body.
Before the Orc Warrior could even decide what to do, a hand covered his mouth, and a greatsword pierced through his chest from behind.
This loosened his grip on the clay jug, causing it to fall towards the ground. However, before it landed, it transford into a baby Blue Sli that bounced off the ground once before giggling happily. Clearly, Eiko still hadn't recovered from her ticklish experience.
"Good job," Barca said as he looked down on the baby Sli that had carried out her mission well. "Let's go back."
"Un!" Eiko replied, then happily ate the Beast Core that had dropped to the ground before jumping on Barca's right shoulder.
The baby Sli didn't consu the Beast Core, but simply stored it inside her body so she could give it to her Papa later. Although she was a battle junkie and a glutton, she would never consu a Beast Core when her Papa wasn't near.
Lux had told Barca to retrieve Eiko from the camp after the Orc Warrior left Baronar's tent. Since Phase 2 of their plan was completed, all he needed to do was wait for the promised ti, so that Barca could duel the weakened Baronar in front of his subordinates.
