Synopsis

The chapter reveals that the protagonist is facing a trial against a large group of Orcs, including a powerful guard and clan head. Instead of direct confrontation, the protagonist plans to use fire to block off the Orc village, preventing returning Orc hunters from interfering. They activate a Necromancer trait, absorbing the spirits of defeated Orc workers to permanently increase their stats, setting themselves up for a more manageable fight with the remaining Orcs.
