While walking back to the Anjo Tribe, he can still smell the thick blood coming from the demons that were dead despite being decently far from them. No emotions were felt while smelling the blood of the corpse he could've saved. Instead, it was replaced with a bottomless pit of emptiness in his heart but acted it as normal since he doesn't usually care if people die around him except if it was his sister or Lucy so he thought to himself that it was a normal reaction and proceeded as normal to the Tribe
There he could see Lucy standing in front of the gate, waiting patiently for her master to arrive. Lucy saw her master arriving in a slow manner and turn made her angry as he was taking a long time getting here
Once Jesus arrived by Lucy's side, he could clearly see the mad expression on her face which made him confused.
'Why do you look mad? Did I do something to make you angry?' Jesus asked while raising one of his eyebrows staring at Lucy
'Don't worry about it' That was all Lucy said before disappearing like a mist making Jesus still confused why she was angry at him
While in his still confused state, he heard the gate in front of him opened up slowly so he decided to stop figuring out why Lucy was angry for later
Once the gate finally opened up all the way, the first thing he saw was a few demons passing him to retrieve the bodies but Jesus ignored them as his full focus was the man in front of him who had 3 horns on his forehead and looked old which of course was no other than the leader of the tribe Alex
Alex's current facial expression was that of anger and sadness. He was angry that he couldn't do anything and was sad that he lost Jack who he was close to and kinda thought of him as family.
Alex was watching them get massacred from a safe distance from inside the Tribe and couldn't do anything at all. By the time Jesus had arrived at the battlefield, they were already dead
He couldn't say anything to the man in front of him who saved their tribe once more as a small part of him blames Jesus for not getting there in time but he knew it was childish to blame things on others, especially towards Jesus so he kept his mouth shut, not saying a word. Jesus saw that Alex wasn't saying anything to him so he decided to speak
"Come and follow me as I might know the cause" That's all that Jesus said before walking past Alex and went heading straight to his house
'What! He knows the cause of all of this?' Alex thought while still shocked by what he heard coming from Jesus
He was a bit skeptical at first towards Jesus for knowing the cause of this as they were just a bunch of random monsters but decided to trust him in the end and ended up following him back to his place
5 minutes later...
"So you said you know the cause of all of this Jesus?" Alex asked while taking a seat across from Jesus with a composed face
"I said I might know the cause. It might not be 100% certain that what I'm thinking is right but its the most probable answer of why there were a lot of them"
"Well you know more about monsters than any of us in this village so I'm all ears," Alex said
"It's good that you are all ears instead of going mad. Well my only guess for what's happening is that there's an Orc village nearby" Jesus explained
"But that wouldn't make sense as we always scout the area around our village in a 5 to 10 mile radius"
"It's good that you do that for safety but let me finish the rest of my sentence"
"Ah sorry about that" Alex apologized
"Nevermind that, instead tell me when was the last time you guys scouted the area around your Tribe"
"Well, the last time we did was 2 months ago before you visited us. We always check every month to see if anything is around us but since working on the village was a hassle in its self, we had to pushed that back so we can focus on the village more" Alex explained to Jesus which lead Jesus to hold his chin and to be thinking of something but this didn't last long as he opened his mouth soon after to say something
"The only thing I could think of on how they build their thing so fast is that they have an Orc King leading them"
"And Before you can open that mouth of yours to ask questions, let me explain on what an Orc King," Jesus said which Alex complied with
"As you can't guess, An Orc King is an evolved Orc that can control massive amount of Orcs with little to no difficultly at all. The Orc King is taller and stronger than the average Orc and the tricky thing about them is that they can use magic making them difficult to subjugate"
"WHAT! IT CAN USE MAGIC! NO MERE BEAST CAN LEARN MAGIC BY SIMPLY EVOLVING, THAT'S LUDICROUS" Alex yelled out loud which in turn made Jesus stare at him with murderous intent for screaming
"Oh my apologise for yelling, please continue"
"Yeah, you are not allowed to yell until I'm completely finished talking. Well anyways, I heard from somewhere that they can use magic but why are you surprised by this?" Jesus asked
"Well, that is because learning magic is a very difficult thing to do as you need to do a lot of requirements before you can actually use magic. So of course I will be shocked if a mere beast can do such a thing as most demons find it difficult to meet all of the requirements so you can use magic. The only thing that will make sense is that they are at the strength of an Orichamlum rank or above"
Once Alex was done explaining, this lead Jesus to have multiple questions in his head about the requirements to learn magic. I mean it's understandable as people back on Earth were able to use magic with ease and they were common as well, so of course this made his brain go in full gears, trying to figure out in which made him come up with multiple theories. But In the end, he decided to put this in the back of his brain and decided to ask the system about it later
"Well they aren't even close to the strength of an Orichamlum rank hunter but yes it is indeed strange now that you say it"
"Well let's forget about that as its current goal is to build back its kingdom it once had. Well, I don't know as it's an estimated guess but I'm certain tha-" He was cut off as he heard a ringing noise coming from his head
