Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Rogue Journey - Doll, comply with my commands - Chapter 3 - A Challenge from Vulcan   Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Doll, comply with my commands   Chapter 3 - A Challenge from Vulcan   “Over there! Stop them!”   A shout came from behind her…...but she couldn't escape it.   She had lost control of her entire body as the pain as too much for to handle.   Her entire body ached with pain, and another wave of nausea came upon her.   “The damn sorcerer is getting away!”   She could hear someone approaching. Her vision was blurry, so she could barely see anything. The only thing she could see was some wall——which she quickly passed. She wondered if her legs were even moving, then she remembered that her legs were hit with an iron bar, it should be broken. So that means, she was being dragged……   “Grab her! We can’t let them get away——”   She held a purse in her hands, she thought about throwing it away but she couldn't’ do that. In the purse was a few coins, tomorrow they would guarantee that her stomach would be filled.   She couldn’t afford to throw away the purse, she needed it and it belonged to her. She also wanted to stop moving, but she could do nothing but be carried away.   (This must be a dream, right?)   I must be. Because she wouldn’t be able to move this fast in real life, then it must be a dream.   (If that’s the case, then shouldn’t I wake up soon?)   Her heart was beating intensely.   Gradually her vision was getting darker, something was blocking his view——it could be the people who were taking her away.   (Who are these people? Do they intend to harm me?)   A black silhouette stretched its skeletal hand out to her.   (Death……)

  “......Boy, do you really want those to be your last words?”   Vulcan said, as he rode atop the stone giant.   “......Hey asshole!”   Orphen stretch forth his hands and began chanting.   “Sword of Light, whom I do release!”   A wave of concentrated light flew from Orphen’s hand and hit the megalithic infantryman, shattering its upper body. Pieces of its body rained down into the canal, creating small tsunamis that hit the port.   “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh……”   Vulcan too was sent flying through the air into the canal, his scream reached all over the area. And like the rest of the stones, he sunk into the water and disappeared.     “............”   Orphen stood up straight, he started at what was left of the megalithic infantryman. Its entire upper body was gone.   “Uhm…...master. Won’t that guy drown?”   Majic said, as he felt sorry for Vulcan as he disappeared under the water.   “He can drown for all I care…...”   A wry smile appeared on his face.   “Though don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be back.”   Orphen said as he turned and walked towards one of the port workers. The man had one-eye, and was intensely staring at Orphen.   “I’m sorry. We can’t employ a sorcerer.”   “Oh, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”   Orphen was very tired, and he didn’t want to argue with the man. He then pointed to the cargo ship he was on when the golem attacked.   “By the way, that explosion there now created a huge hole in bottom of that boat.”   “Wait, what!”   Tears appeared in the man's eyes. He watched the ship that was loaded with stone sink rapidly, within the blink of an eye he couldn’t even see the mast anymore.   “You bastard!”   But before he knew it, Orphen was already gone. He just sat there grinding his teeth until the enamel started to rub off.   Orphen was heading to Stephanie’s apartment, it was ten minutes away.   Majic hurriedly rushed after him, obviously flustered that Orphen left him.   “Master, you left me back there.”   “Oh Majic, good to see you made it.”   “Master, what’s wrong? You’ve been acting very strange today.”   “Shit, shit, shit!”   Orphen shouted as he stomped his feet on the ground. Majic then remembered some of the stuff Vulcan shouted at Orphen.   “If you are so much about me then why don’t you go to some far off place and start mining gold! That way I won’t be looking over my shoulder for loan sharks!”   “......Master.”   “What’s wrong with you, men can be friends without being in love!”   “............”   Majic looked up and down at Orphen, wondering what has come over him.   Orphen started to squat on the ground and sigh deeply.   “Ah——just my luck.”   “Master, you’re freaking me out. It’s like you’re personality has changed.”   Upon hearing Majic’s words, he immediately stood up.   “......Majic.”   “Why have you become like this?”   “Majic, how do you feel about Stephanie?”   “What?”   “The first time you met her, what did you feel?”   “Well……”   Majic’s eyes blinked as he was lost in thought.   “She was covered in wounds——and she seems like a very nice person. Her rooms are all nicely furnished. The cake that was in the cupboard was handmade, but she used too much flour——or was she even trying to make a cake? My mother always told me that you’ve got to put cream on top of a cake, that way it’s more appetizing. Though that cake she made had been sitting there for a while and was stale, what a pity. Her bathroom was just like any other girls, though her closet was falling apart. There was quite a lot of books lying about the place and she had a lot of money. Upon closing inspection, you’d easily know that she was a sorcerer.”   Orphen just slumped his shoulders.   “You were so confident when you spoke, but do you think your assumptions were right?”   “Yes.”   “Remember this Majic, you can never judge a person from a first meeting.”   Orphen said, as a cold sweat went down his back.   Then a sharp sound ripped through the air, a black object grazed Orphen’s left ear——fortunately he avoided it. If he didn’t, he would have probably lost his entire left ear.   “You people!”   In the empty road in front of them, a gust of wind quietly blew through.   “————?”   Within the blink of an eye his entire vision was obscured with a white flash. Instinctively, Orphen covered his face. At the same time he tried his best to curb the screaming coming from his throat.   The suddenly, he heard someone talk.   “So, you won’t scream——is it because you want to save your breath, so you can chant a mantra?”   His vision started to return to him, and through the cracks in his fingers he could make out a figure.   “How can you remain so silent?”   Suddenly Orphen could feel himself being pulled in multiple directions like a pinball in a pachinko machine. He couldn’t even tell what direction he was heading, he was in a confused state. He could see the ground——the roof of the apartment building——and finally the sky——he couldn’t take it anymore and was knocked unconscious.   When he finally awoke, it took him a while to realize it, he had been thrown into the ground. His breath wasn’t smooth, in fact he was coughing a lot as he struggled to get up. He found himself unable to think, and he found it more difficult to breath. “Today, I’ll blow your head clean off.”   Orphen could hear someone speaking, he then looked for him.     (A sorcerer——obviously not human.)   He didn’t hear another incantation.   “Master!   Majic shouted. Orphen’s breathing was now become more ragged, and he stuck out his hand to Majic. He helped him stand up.   “......What happened?”   Orphen asked.   “You were sent ten metres into the air, then a black object was sent flying at you. It hit you in the head and then you whacked the ground.”   “......I fell?”   Orphen looked in the direction that Majic pointed at, that’s when he saw him——his hand was clenched. Orphen could see bluish skin in the parts of its body that wasn’t covered by its garments, it clearly wasn’t human. Then Orphen watched as a metal wire was pulled from its wrist, it was like the whole process was automated.   “There!”   Orphen shouted, he then pointed his hand in the direction of the bluish figure.   “Sword of Light, whom I do release!”   A bright white flash of light shot towards the figure, the wave of intense heat swallowed the figure whole. Then a resounding explosion could be heard, but——   Then the flame suddenly disappeared——the figure was still standing.   The heat burned off its clothes, it was now in full view. There were mysterious runes all over its body, it looked artificial——as if someone created it. Its skin looked very smooth as it shone in the sunlight. It was totally naked, Orphen wondered if it even needed to wear clothes.   “Is that a man?”   Majic asked, Orphen whispered “no” to himself. Then it spoke through an opening in its face.   “I was once a guardian of hidden treasure”   “......Guardian of hidden treasure?”   “Hundreds of years ago, you humans called us…...killing dolls.”   “What——?”   Orphen wondered for a moment, as he listened to its shrill voice.   (How did……)   Orphen wanted to talk to it, but——   (That buzzing?)   He and looked at Majic, who also looked like he wanted to say something. During this moment, the noise emanating from the guardian only got louder.   (Just what is it planning?)   Orphen wore a panicked look, while the killing doll had a murderous grin.   “Playtimes over!”   (————!)   Orphen and Majic started to step backwards, then a bright flash light shone from the killing dolls abdomen. Something was written there, it was like a tattoo, or maybe a magic seal.   (A magical word!)   Orphen couldn't’ read the word, but he concluded that the noise was coming from there.   “As you can imagine, it’s magic.”   (......Can he read my mind?)   “It’s the obvious assumption.”   Orphen retorted.     “The text on my body could easily kill one hundred sorcerers.”   The killing doll said, then it brought its hand to eye level——its middle finger made a loud clicking sound as a ten centimetre needle popped out. Seeing their shock, the killing doll began to laugh.   “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you…...for now.”   (......What?)   Orphen said inside himself, then the doll spoke again.   “I will exterminate you and your kind, not one of you will survive.”   (Why does he need to exterminate us? Did he destroy the Alliance of Sorcerer's building?)   “I’m only following the mission.”   The doll continued.   “Not everyone in that building was killed, right?”   (............!)   “I saw a woman come out of the rubble, I’ll be coming after the both of you.”   (Did he follow me to Steph’s house?)   “You’re strength is very strong…...wherever you go in this city, I’ll be able to sense you with this symbol on my abdomen.”   (............)   Orphen didn’t know if the doll followed him back to Stephanie’s apartment——for if he did, the others would be in danger.   “By your silence I can tell you have very strong self-control, but how long can you keep it up?”   The doll looked him straight in the eye, Orphen was starting to sweat.   A devilish smile appeared on the doll's face, the text on its body started to disappear. Then the doll let out a loud laugh.   “I’ll see you soon.”     “You bastard!”   Orphen cursed at the doll, but he didn’t seem to care.   “I’ve got something for you.”   The doll threw a piece of paper at Orphen’s feet, Orphen didn’t know where he pulled the piece of paper from.   “............?”
