Gears of Fate
So… a guy shows up looking like a clown and shouting some stuff about ruined plans or something.
I got it of course. This is all his fault. No question about it.
I mean, we didn't even ask him, but he goes and confesses his crimes… is he an idiot?
Acting like some big shot while looking like that. Maybe he's not dressing up like a clown.
Maybe he is a clown, so I concluded.
From what I gathered, he also led the Orc Lord here.
The Clown–Gelmudo-san seems to be very angry.
Moreover, he seems to be trembling and greatly flustered, so he's very incoherent.
Is he just calcium-deficient? I guess devils need vitamins.
Then the clown said,
「What a useless blockhead!
It's all because you haven't evolved into a demon lord even after eating the lizards and the ogre trash!
Making this great Gelmudo-sama come out all the way out here!!!」
What a horrible manner of speech.
Waking to these words, Gabil called out.
「Ah, Gelmudo-sama! You've come to our rescue!」
Eh? This lizard… was he passed out the entire time?
You… he called you orc food, you know.
「Ah? Oh, what do you know, it's Gabil. You should've been killed already!
Whatever. Since I came out here I might as well finish the job.
Rejoice! You are dying for my sake!!」
Saying thus, Gelmudo pointed his hand at Gabil.
And saying, "Die!", he fired a magic bullet at him.
「Protect Gabil-sama!」
「Gabil-sama is in danger!」
Screaming their lungs out–Gabil's followers.
A single magic bullet downed five lizardmen.
Well, maybe because hitting five targets weakened it, or maybe they were just really tough, but none of them died.
Gravely wounded, but still alive.
「Guys… what is the meaning of this, Gelmudo sama?!!!」
A panicked Gabil asks.
Figure it out already, you were used! However, this isn't the right time to say it.
Betrayed by his most trusted person, Gabil's face was pale despair.
「Ga… Gabil-sama, it's dangerous here… please run away…!」
Even when on verge of death his subordinates worry about him. What great subordinates he has.
Soldiers that a commander yearns for… something like that?
「Lowly lizards! If you want to die that much, I'll gladly kill you all!
And have the Orc Lord devour your bodies!!!」
While saying that, I felt him gathering a larger magic bullet in his hand.
That wasn't magic, right? I didn't hear an incantation. Feels more like he gathers magic in one spot.
Hmph.
I walked ahead, right in front of the lizardmen.
Right in front of the scared and trembling Gabil.
My expression hidden by the mask.
I wonder how I look to Gabil? A passing thought.
Why did I walk over here?
Gabil caught my interest. So I'll save him. That was the only reason.
That's all the reason I need. I've chosen to live as I please.
I live free!
That's the kind of "me" that I want to show Gabil.
However, he looks completely lost. Maybe all the new information overloaded his brain?
But don't worry. It's not like I want him to say anything.
I'm just pissed at the clown.
Gelmudo, however, completely ignored me and fired the magic bullet.
「Fuhahahaha! I'll show you the power of a high class devil!
Die! Shisha no Koushinenbu!!! (Death March Dance)」
A large magic bullet, split in mid air, and as if drawing a circle flew at us.
Unfortunately, it won't be passing me.
In my child form, I lift my small hand as if to grab it.
And with just that, the magic bullet is absorbed into it.
I was immediately able to analyze it. It was a simple magic manipulation skill.
With low energy cost, it's easy to change the output. Well, as long as the caster is within range.
If he went all out to fire this round, then he's no threat to me.
Let's make sure,
「Hey, did you really intend to kill me with this boring skill? To test your words, could you please show me how to die? 」
Saying that, I fired off a magic bullet.
If I wanted to, I could also split it like he had, but I see no need. Putting in more magic energy, I make it the size of a fist.
That got me thinking. The one he had fired was the size of a head, so was probably denser and more potent.
If I use the same magic theory with the fire bullet, I should be able to increase its strength even further.
How fun!
Let's not forget that the clown looks pretty tough, so he makes a great target.
And if I bore of this, I can just eat him.
I further accelerated the bullet and it made contact with the clown. And the moment it did, I released the magic energy.
Gelmudo was sent flying.
He had meant to evade, but couldn't due to the sudden acceleration.
Rolling over, he desperately started to regenerate his wounds.
Heeeh. He's got a regeneration skill. Isn't that wonderful! I bet he tastes great.
Let's enjoy (eating) my first devil.
As if understanding my intentions, Benimaru and Ranga are standing pleased, but on guard.
And Shion, despondent due to not being able to go all out… nope, that's not how she looked.
Rather, her eyes were sparking in delight watching my fight.
No idea how she'll be venting all the pent up later though, but it should be fine.
I leisurely walk right up to Gelmudo – who was still rolling on the ground.
「Just get up already. Weren't you going to show me the power of a high class devil?」
I kicked the collapsed Gelmudo.
Seems like it was more powerful than I thought, since he was blown away again.
What a brittle guy.
「Y-yo-you! How dare you! To a high…」
Kicking the ground, I immediately appear right in front of Gelmudo.
Aiming at his solar plexus, I throw some punches. Punches that are reinforced with armor.
I don't feel pain of the impact of course, but as my punch drives further and further into his flesh, Gelmudo's face distorted in anguish.
Without care, I continue punching the guy.
And once again, I fire off a magic bullet.
Though I can regulate its strength, I was able to figure out that the bullet does five times more damage than one punch.
Unless I start infusing my punches with energy, of course. If I do, my punches also become quite lethal, and energy consumption grows.
However, as the bullet uses less energy, it is a more efficient weapon.
Seems like I can fight barehanded like a certain warrior race. Not that I will.
But anyways, this guy is clearly above an A rank, but still way weaker than Benimaru.
I wonder why?
≪Solution. It is based on ranking system as defined by humans that focuses on the amount of energy in circulation.
However, even if those with the same amount of energy battle, the one who is able to utilize it more efficiently shall have the advantage.
Moreover, since skill level is not included in the ranking, great difference of strength tend to occur among those of the same rank≫
So that's how it was.
Level is not something I can just figure out by looking. Since this isn't a game, if I don't fight them, I wouldn't know.
And that's why Hakurou, who's skill level was surely high, had obtained that powerful body.
Even if you possess a lot of energy, it's meaningless if you can't use it.
So right now, I know I cannot possibly lose against either Gelmudo or the Orc Lord.
「Hey, can't you put on a good show? Or is that clown appearance just for laughs?」
What kind of skills does he have?
I don't feel any threat from him. Rather, it's like I'm asking a shopkeeper to show me his wares.
「Wh-wha-whaaat… you! Y-y-y-youuuu!!! Such words, to a high ranking devil, such… you…」
I hit him.
Can't this guy properly respond when asked?
「Sto-stop! Please stop! I'm backed by the Demon Lords! For you to do such a thing!!!」
Seems like he's saying something.
How annoying. Is he thinking that he'll be able to cry about this to his patrons?
And… demon lord Leon is, well, my prey.
「And? How are you planning on going back to cry to them? You aren't thinking that I'll let you live, right?」
Hearing my question, Gelmudo pales and he begins to tremble in fear.
That kind of response was surprisingly amusing. As expected of a clown.
Gelmudo then used some kind of spell and flew into the air. Seems like he's trying to escape.
But, all I could think of looking at that was: that magic looks delicious!
I could fly with by sprouting wings, but not at supersonic speeds. This guy, on the other hand was pretty fast. I want it.
And it's not like I was planning on letting him go.
I shot him down with a fire bullet.
Well, even if it hadn't hit, I had already tied some sticky thread around his foot.
Gelmudo fell crashing into the ground. He was so flustered that he didn't even put up a guard.
Though I like those that yearn for subordinates, I hate the opposite type of personality.
Especially those who'd take advantage of and discard people–for them I show no mercy. But since he possesses various abilities, let's at least munch on him a bit.
When I approach,
「Kieeeeeeeeeee!!! Stay away! You're finished! The demon lords won't forgive you!!!」
He blurted out while trying to crawl away.
Demon lords, huh. Seems like he knows a lot, and I'd certainly want to question him, but there's a chance of him running away.
Probably need to interrogate him before he has a chance to.
Even if I eat him, I won't get his knowledge. I can only get my hands on his skills. Though that's also a bit random.
Though I can acquire the skills, there being too few of them is one of the flaws (if I can call it that).
I approach silently.
In utter terror, Gelmudo shoots magic bullets at me while crawling away. Not that they have any effect.
I repel them all with my barrier.
He doesn't have enough power to break through my barrier. That much we already established.
After finally figuring it out, he stood up and tried to run away.
The Orc Lord stands there, does he plan to ask for help?
Whatever. I'll let him do that.
In any case, I had planned to exterminate the Orc Lord later. If they both come at once, it save me some trouble.
I can easily beat them alone, but this is all so tiring.
I wouldn't mind if the orc lord peacefully capitulates; I don't hate him.
The easier this ends the happier I'll be.
Though I do worry that orc soldiers will then be running around causing trouble in the forest.
While thinking these things, I let him distance himself from me.
「You blockhead! Don't just stand there doing nothing! Save me!
Hyahahaha! I don't know who the hell you are, but you must be able to see this orc's power! Go, Orc Lord! Make the idiot who dared strike me regret…」
*Doshun!*
A head rolled.
*Baki, baribori…*
Gelmudo's body was cut up into a thousand pieces.
*Guchaguchaboriboriguchabaki*
Ueh… He's being eaten.
The Orc Lord, to whom Gelmudo ran with the intention of intimidating me, had lopped off his head with a butcher knife.
And ripping his body up, he began eating him.
What to say… he really died like a small fry.
And besides, the Orc had also been aiming to eat him? Or was it by instinct?
Whichever is the case, this has gotten rather troublesome.
His eyes glowing a pale light, he seems to have become intelligent.
At that moment, the Orc Lord, who had been moving on instinct alone, finally acquired self-awareness.
And released an aura that could not be compared with his past self.
≪Confirmed. The Orc Lord's magical energy has greatly increased.
Evolving into a demon lord … success.
Individual: Orc Lord has evolved into Demon Lord Orc Disaster≫
I didn't ask about that! I can do without an explanation.
Seriously, cut me some slack.
Without a care for my thoughts,
「Fuhaaaaa!I am the Demon Lord Orc Disaster. The Devourer of the World.
Call me, Demon Lord Gelmudo!!! Honor given to my first prey!!!」
See.
Just cause I got carried away a bit. "That's why I should have just killed him already!" I cursed. … well, it's too late now.
Just like some alien with an M-shape bald spot, getting carried away and losing. Letting the enemy increase their power only to lose afterwards. Pathetic.
I always made fun of him when I read that, but now that I did it myself…
Let's remember from now on. Kill them when you can. A golden rule.
That aside…
What should I do about him? Thinking that, I got a little depressed.
.
The Demon lords silently observed the scene.
「How fun!」
The girl muttered.
Gelmudo hadn't noticed it, but the Girl had already made use of his eyes.
The moment he looked over at her.
After Gelmudo had left, she had his sight projected unto a water sphere she created…
And as expected, Gelmudo wanted to cheat by intervening in the conflict.
That much earned him death, but the demon lords had not expected a human to do it.
A human child wearing a beautiful mask.
Moreover, since they were following Gelmudo's vision, they didn't see the surrounding group.
The flustered and irrational Gelmudo had not noticed the large gathering of high class monsters.
The oni race. Once every few hundred years an elderly ogre could evolve into one.
Their ability unnaturally high, they are often said to be capable of crushing the heavens. And three of such oni were present.
Had he noticed, he would know that they weren't someone he could handle.
And a fang wolf that evolved strangely was also present. Judging from his appearance alone, he was at least an A rank monster.
Thus, four rank A+ monsters were present. And they obeyed a single child?
A child wearing a beautiful mask. Certainly not a normal person. Probably a monster that took on the appearance of a human.
If not that, then a new "hero" had been born among the humans.
Those summoned or "World Travelers" were certainly strong, but none so as a child.
That's because their souls have not yet developed so they can't properly put their skills to use.
By a process of elimination, they demon lords figured out the correct answer.
A mimicking monster!
One capable of easily overpowering the A rank high class devil Gelmudo.
And four high ranking monsters serving him.
Power that they couldn't ignore.
「Who would've thought that that Gelmudo would put on such a good show!」
The girl exclaimed happily.
「Seriously… That monster, should we crush it? Or raise it?」
「No getting a head start. Though negotiating to make it a servant is allowed!」
The demon lords thought.
If they could acquire that as their servant, they could surpass the other demon lords.
However, they also needed to consider the chance of it becoming a threat.
「Hey, about this, can we keep it a secret among the four of us? Since we finally got something to kill our boredom with!」
The real purpose was, of course, to gain a trump card against the absent demon lords. That's how highly they valued that monster.
Should that monster selfishly proclaim themselves as a demon lord, they are sure to immediately lose interest and eliminate it.
However, that time has yet to come.
The four nodded, and thus formed a new coalition.
Had the demon lords moved at this time, then Rimuru's fate would be very different.
However, the demon lords did not move.
That decision moved the gears of fate.
And, pushed this story onto an unalterable route.
Orc Disaster
The Chief of the Lizardmen had desperately tried to hold back the incoming attack from the orc soldiers.
He divided the troops and sends them forth to the 4 passageway, they will be supporting each other.
Since the passageway was not really that large, and the fact that only a few can fight, it was a relief.
If you considered the strength of the individuals, the small forces of Lizardmen had higher strength compared the Orc soldiers.
At the end of the chamber are the evacuated women and children, and those who can fight are protecting them in the front lines.
They were there in case that someone managed to break through from the passage.
The Chief observed the war situation and realized that they could not survive more than a day.
While he kept switching the troops to let them recover their fatigue, they are still managing to fight decently, even so, between the gap of switching the two teams, they were pushed back little by little.
Their current forces was less than 1,200.
Even without regrouping, he can see that there were some of the troops that died in battle.
Also, another nightmare struck the Chief. The Orc soldiers began to be shrouded in yellow aura.
What is this?
Was what he thought, but the answer was given immediately. The combat ability of the individual orc was increasing.
While they did not drastically grow stronger, they now posed the ability to win against a Lizardmen.
Until now, the individual ability of Lizardmen was able to hold them off, but now that advantage was lost.
This is it...The only fate remaining for them is a honorable death.
The Chief prepared his resolution.
Escaping would be useless, struggling any longer would be useless.
Even so.....
[ Listen!!! Women and children shall retreat from this place! Guards, Gather!
You guys shall escorts the women and children, keep protecting them to the very end, even if it's just 1 more person! I will not tolerate anyone who gave up! To obtain the new world (Alt: or to see the future), as many people as possible are needed to survive!!! ]
With all of the dignity he had, he spoke in a loud voice.
[Chief, are you going to do it?]
The Vice captain of the Guards come asking.
[ I know! I won't let the Orc do as they pleased!
I will show them the strength of Lizardmen !!! ]
Never show your weaknesses.
For him, it was the symbol of strength for the Lizardmens which bring him hope.
[Warriors! Prepare yourself to fight to the death against the Orc! Do not let a single one of them pass!
We will buy the woman and children the time they needed to escape!!! ]
And so, the warriors group becomes inspired.
There was no despair in the Lizardmen faces. Even if the opponent was stronger, if it possible for the women and children to escape, it's their victory.
Their future will not cease.
After this, it would be a difficult time for them, but that doesn't mean the end of their species.
[ [ [U~o o ooooo ! ! ! ] ] ]
They raise their voice to dispel their fear.
The cave interior was filled with the Lizardmen war cry and it reverberate with thunderous vibration.
Satisfied with the situation, a voice heard from the place where the women and children tried to escape.
[ That's going to be troubling. Chief-dono, the promise was still not fulfilled yet. Weren't you supposed to wait here?]
Quietly, there stood a man which nobody unawares of.
With darkish skin, bluish black hair. Blue eyes, a demon with height 190 cm.
Once, he and the demon had met, which he identified himself as Souei.
Have they arrived? No, the alliance was not formed yet. But....
[ Souei-dono... Have they arrived? But, we did not follow your advice, we have been disrespectful…]
[ Advice...? What you talking about? Such thing does not matter at all. All of you please stay in this place. The promise is tomorrow. Tomorrow, My Lord wish to come here personally.]
The promise for alliance, he doesn't know if it can protect them. But...
[However, we cannot stay here, the Orcs are here!]
Hearing the words, Souei glanced at the passages with the noisy Orc soldiers.
He look at them as if he was looking at trash.
[Those guys noisy stomach certainly can't calm down.... Very well. I suppose I have to clean them up first. Please wait here for a moment.]
After he said that, he started to calmly walk towards them.
Is it illusion? It's looks as if Souei body start blurring and overlapping.....No! It has divided into four clones.
Each of them went into the passage, they reached the place where the Lizardmen were devoting themselves to defense.
[Substitute]
Saying that word.
The 4 clones in each passage were facing the Orc soldiers.
Then the Lizardmen that were there saw the incredible spectacle.
The orcs, who have tormenting us as if hungry ghosts from hell, could not break through Souei's stoic defense.
At each passage stand a single person.
[Misaitoayazanjin! (Beheading Formation of Restraining String!) ]
It was a slaughter dance of glittering string.
Steel thread spreading around the passage instantly, and it move freely according to Souei's command.
As soon as he executes the technique in the passage, the Orc soldier's body was cut down.
For those who come to invade, they think it will be a massacre without any resistance.
It was unfortunate for those Orc soldiers. At each and every passage, every one of them got killed by the skill that Souei's clones used.
Without their sense of self, only following simple order, therefore they cannot feel fear.
One by one, they march forward as if to let themselves be trapped in the stretched spider thread. However, this thread is terrible trap that instantly reap life itself.
They happily devoured the corpse that has been chopped to pieces, continuing their advance, and get killed.
The scene repeated endlessly, the Lizardman can't let out any sounds.
The battlefield with structure like labyrinth is a stage for Souei.
The spread sharp trap had many varieties; he can change it according to the situation. This time, Souei focused his interest in elimination of the Orc soldiers.
He didn't show any mercy, he carry out the slaughter without even batting an eyelids.
The Lizarmen didn't let any sound in astonishment.
After witnessing the strength from a different dimension. It's become the embodiment of fear.
Overwhelming and surpassing them all, it was the figure of the strong.
The situation has changed; 2 hours has passed since then.
Until now, the Orc soldiers that had come to invade were easily killed and they suddenly begun to withdraw.
Has something occurred that it changed the war situation?
Souei intuitively think.
The amount of clones that he can use at the same time is 6. Because the first two clones went out, only four clones left to protect the chamber.
The main body was lurking in the shadow while controlling the clones.
Everything is all right now. He decides to entrust the rest to his clones.
Souei's main body begun to move without anyone noticing.
He returned back to his Lord's side, Rimuru.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster had identifies himself as a Demon Lord. Moreover, the name was someone else's. Or in this case, it would be correct if I say that hestole it?
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster fulfilled Gelmudo's ambition to become a Demon Lord, but it just that.
The one who really desire to become Demon Lord was Gelmudo.
The Orc Lord without self-awareness wasloyal to him. Of course, I was not aware of such thing, it don't have any relation with them.
Self-awareness begun to appear, his eyes become intelligent.
Declaring himself the Demon Lord, as the Demon Lord Orc Disaster Gelmudo, he has evolved with strength beyond comparison of an Orc Lord.
Behind me, Benimaru was in a battle stance.
He probably recognized the Demon Lord Orc Disaster Gelmudo as a threat.
The smile he showed up until now had disappeared, it has become a serious expression.
[Rimuru-sama! I will handle it!]
So he says, he used the Black Flame Prison (Hellflare).
I receive the signal by telepathy; I proceed to fly into the sky. It's good to have the wings.
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster Gelmudo is in the center of the formed black sphere (dome). Inside it raged a high temperature storm that burn the Demon Lord. However....
After about ten seconds, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster calmly stands in the location of the disappeared sphere (Dome).
It's not that it doesn't effective. He doesn't seem to have any heat resistance ability, his skin is completely burnt.
But it's not a mortal wound, because he clad himself in his aura, it seems to had similar effect with Heat resistance (resist).
Moreover, the burnt skins are starting to regenerate.It's the same as Gelmudo, he also had regeneration ability.
The magical energy is now overwhelmingly different from just. Heis now a self-proclaimed Demon Lord.
Rather, "Voice of the World" said it before; this guy had the "Demon Lord Quality". He evolved, and truly become a Demon Lord.
This guy must be killed now, or he will become a real disaster. I'm convinced so.
Benimaru is frowning, because it managed to withstand his deadly attack.
Indeed, Black Flame Prison (Hellflare) is powerful. However, it is an AoE skill that weak if used against an individual.
The energy is scattered and not focused. To use it against an individual, more of the energy has to be focused.
If done that way, the resistance and the regeneration will not able to cope and he will be completely burned.
The one who attack next after Benimaru was Ranga.
He use the [Black Lighting] just like I suggest him to and converge it to a single point before shooting it.
Receiving a direct hit, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster Gelmudo body stiffened.
The aim is good; I will use it that way from now on.
The area of attack was adjusted for individual target, the optimum blow.
The black charred Demon Lord Orc Disaster, collapse in the place where he stands.
Of course that happens. Even I could not bear such attack.
Rather than one on one it's a fight against many opponent, moreover defeatedby a surprise attack, please do not think badly of me.
Perhaps, any of the Oni would not win in one on one.
But, with this the war would finally end.... at the very moment I think that,
[Fuha~a! So this is pain! I even sawa glimpse of death!
But, it not enough to make the great me perish!!!]
Even though he is carbonized and seemed dead, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster rises up.
If you look at him, he pulls and torn his arm and eats it.
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster then ran to the Orc soldiers. He casually kills the Orc soldiers and eats them.
What a guy! Each time he eat, his carbonized skin peel off and a brand new skin appear.
Also, the arm that he torn off has regrown
Really, what a tremendous regeneration ability.
[Are you kidding me...]
Ranga murmured involuntary.
It goes beyond aridiculous monster, its way beyond reality.
It seems Ranga's energy was empty after using that attack. He sat down and stops moving.
I wonder if he is entering the low activity state.
It can't be helped. Energy consumption of [Black Lighting] was enormous.
With this, he will not able to use it any more.
A single flash.
Unnoticed, Shion swung her Ōdachi, she did a single slash.
The slash that she had put all her strength into. The Demon Lord Orc Disaster stops the slash with the Butcher knife "Meat Crusher" in his hand.
The slash didn't connect. He takes some damage from the blow. But it's not serious.
[This filthy pig is a Demon Lord? Stop being so conceited!]
She shout, and once again she clad her Ōdachi with her aura, she raise her sword over her head and then swings it down.
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster stood to his feet while staggering, this time he hold the Butcher knife "Meat Crusher" with both hands. The sword and the knife clash, resulting in fierce sparks.
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster won the pushing contest. His physical strength surpassed even Shion's, the one who has ridiculous strength and [Herculean Strength].
It seems his physical abilities is strengthened to an overwhelming level...., I heave a sigh at that.
Shion was sent flying, The Demon Lord Orc Disaster try to finished Shion off.
Perceiving the danger, Shion covered her body with her aura.
But it seems she receive considerable damage from that attack.
Her face filled with frustration, it seem it will take some time until she is able to move again.
Without noise, standing behind the Demon Lord Orc Disaster is a person, a samurai in his prime.
Hakurou.
Even I, observing from the sky can recognize the speed of the slash, it will hit.
It can't be stopped, it's also impossible to avoid it. The sword slashes through the body of Demon Lord Orc Disaster, cutting him into 2 separate pieces, the head fall.
With this he should be dead. So I thought.
Yet....
The separated body parts connected by a yellow aura that coiling into them like a tentacles
Then it bend down, picking up the head that fell down, and fixed the head back to the original location.
It looks like a sight from a horror movie, everyone lost their words.
Hakurou also opened his eyes in surprise.
I'm convinced now.
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster most formidable ability is his tremendous regeneration ability.
Up until now, it doesn't have variety of resistance. However the problem is his recovery power. Also, added with his resistance, it would be impossible to kill him.
However, if we burn him together with Flame and [Black Lighting], it's possible to surpass his defense and restoration ability.
But now it's impossible...
Benimaru and Ranga have run out of Magic power. Shion is injured, right now Hakurou is exchanging blade against him one on one.
Hakurou's attack did not hit its target, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster's attack also doesn't hit.
As expected from a master. However, how long will it continue, the situation is gradually getting worse.
At that time,
[ Beheading Formation of Restraining String! ]
At the same time as the voice heard, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster is captured by the "Sticky Steel Thread".
It was Souei's doing. Quietly, lurking in Hakurou's shadow, he is waiting for the right timing.
I see! I was impressed.
Like this, even if you have high regeneration ability it would be useless.
Hero always comes late. As expected of Souei.
The moment I feel relived, I sense something out place.
His yellow aura is coiling around the "Sticky Steel Thread".
[Chaos Eater]
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster uses his skill. It is more heinous than when he uses it at the Orc General.
It corrodes every thing it touches.
That yellow aura thingies must be the essence of the Demon Lord Orc Disaster skill.
In fact, that skill is one of the ability of the Unique skill [Starving Ones].
Its effect is corroding and decomposing every material he come in contact with.
When the resistance failed to resist the corrosion, death will visit the living creature.
The Demon Lord Orc Disaster begin his pursuit.
[Die! Gaki no kōshinenbu!!! (Death March Dance)
It was the skill that Gelmudo used. But, the power level is different.
Sensing it, Hakurou and Souei retreat.
Benimaru's black flame prison (Hell Flare), nothing remains on its surrounding. Although it power is not absolute, it didn't give damage to the person touching it, instead it will give them corrosion effect.
Quality, power, range. If all of it combined it will become a certain kill attack. Fortunately the speed is slow.
If they receive it normally, the Oni will not stay unharmed.
[Fuhah~a! Good! Entertain me more! It's a good exercise before the meal.
You guys must be very delicious. Fuhahaha! You all will become food for me. You guys happy?]
My subordinate, the main force of five people even if they work together, they are still unable to win.
This is...
I'm no longer able to stop my body tremble.
This trembling is, a trembling that comes from my instinct.
This bad. I can't stop trembling
Was it, fear?
No, it's different
This was...
Joy. Yes. I was feeling joyful!
I, from the bottom of my body, can no longer stop my instinct from going crazy and making noises from joy
My subordinate, the main force of five people fighting together were not able to win against this opponent.
Yet, in my mind there was no fear.
The feeling of depression that appear on the beginning, at this point it has all been blown away
That's right, I recognize this guy as an enemy.
Sorry for thinking of you as troublesome.
I stop flying and descend to the ground.
When I come closer, the yellow aura, Chaos Eater rushed towards me.
I feel it coiling around me and stick to my body. This is unpleasant.
I see, so he trying to eat me?

Before you eat me, I will eat you first!
And thus the time comes for the clash between me and the Demon Lord Orc Disaster Gelmudo.
