In the orc kingdom,
the orc king was reading the report of declaration of war from the demi-human kingdom. After he finished reading, he frowned deeply. The demi-human kingdom dared to wage war against them?
He had been restraining himself from waging war against demi-human kingdom and taking revenge for Rasner's death. But now the demi-human kingdom took the initiative to wage war against them.
He heard about the new king of demi-human kingdom, the one who killed their pillar the 'Wolf Champion' Rasner. He had already expected the changes in the demi-human kingdom. But even he didn't expected this.
No matter how much he thinks about it, demi-human kingdom waging war on them was basically suicide. Their military power is completely different. There is no way demi-human kingdom can win against them.
Is the new demi-human king gone crazy from gaining power or is he full of himself? Where did he got his confident from? No matter the reason, the orc king doesn't worry. Maybe this is the chance to destroy the demi-human kingdom. Although he had to be careful of the troll kingdom stabbing them from behind.
"What do you think of this?"
The orc king asked his pillars. There were currently three pillars present including the 'Orc Warlord' Anguher and the 'Orc Shaman' Mulnark. Another one is called 'Axe Master' Andur. He is an average level national pillar. The other two were not present because they went out for their own missions. Three pillars present in the kingdom is already a lot.
"I think we don't have to worry. Whoever comes, we have the upper hand. Those demu-humans are no match for us."
The orc warlord, Anguher said with great confidence. The other two also nodded in agreement.
"Prepare the army. We will crush those demi-humans and show them the might of the great orc kingdom."
The orc king said arrogantly.
At that moment, an orc warrior hurriedly ran to him. His whole body was bleeding and filled with wounds.
"My king, emergency! We are under attack."
"Who's attacking us? Has the demi-human army arrived already? I thought it will take a few more days for them to get here."
The king asked the warrior.
"No my king. This is not the demi-humans. They are monsters. Strange monsters appeared out of nowhere in front of the palace and start attacking us. They are extremely powerful and slaughtering our warriors as we speak."
After the orc warrior finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground and lost his life from his injuries.
"My king, we must make haste."
Mulnark urged. The orc king nodded and rush to the scene with the three orc pillars.
After arriving in front of the palace, they all saw monstrous creatures that has twice the size of their dire wolf emitting powerful aura. Hundreds of orc dead bodies lying around them.
The orc king and the pillars are all puzzled with uncertainty. How did these creatures bypass their defensive walls and get straight to the capital.
However they stopped thinking and went on high alert. The killing intent coming from the creatures was insanely intense and made them gasped.
They never seen this kind of creatures before. However they didn't dare to underestimate them at all. The aura alone made them on high guard.
"What is these... things?"
The pillars exclaimed. A chill ran through their spines.
Chaos fiends are powerful creatures that are more expensive to make than the demons and angels. They are the ultimate late game units.
Even the howls of the chaos fiends are horrifying and it alone can cause fear to the nearby enemies.
One of the chaos fiends leaped towards them. The orc warlord Anguher jumped forward and swing his massive blade. The blade collided with the claws of chaos fiend.
Crack!
The blade cracks and with a bang, it instantly shattered into pieces. The claws struck Anguher's body, penetrating the armor along the way.
"Impossible!"
The body and claws of chaos creatures are made with tons of essences. It would be a dream to hurt them with normal weapons.
No matter how large a normal weapon is, it won't even be able to scratch the body of chaos creatures. Since this is in the dungeon, they lacked necessary weapons to kill the chaos creatures.
Anguher groaned painfully. He quickly back away from the chaos fiend. A claw mark was left on his body. He felt his strength slowly leaving his body. He looked down at the claw mark on his body in terror.
"Its attacks can even weaken my strength?"
Anguher grit his teeth. The threat level of the creatures in front of him has risen to the top in his heart.
"It's been a long time since I used this."
Anguher laughed dryly and unleashed his trump card. His whole body started to bleed uncontrollably. However his aura becomes stronger and stronger. A terrifying aura burst out from his body like a raging tide.
"Warrior last stand!"
It's a type of burst skill that sacrifice a portion of his life in exchange for astonishing power. After he used it, he would not be able to fight for a long time and enter the weaken state.
In the past, he had fought the orc king to a draw with the help of this skill. However he could only surpass the orc king and could not defeat him.
After the burst mode is over, Anguher entered his weaken state. To his surprise, the orc king refused to kill him and offered him the position of the first pillar.
The orcs believe in strength and value their honour. Anguher agreed the offer and pledged his loyalty to the orc king, becoming the strongest pillar in the orc kingdom.
From then on, the orc kingdom becomes a kingdom that has two powerhouses who are at the level of a king.
The other kingdoms also recognised the orc kingdom as the third strongest kingdom among the nine kingdoms that only behind the mighty troll kingdom and the ogre kingdom.
The intense aura burst out from Anguher's body. He opened his palm. The aura around his body condensed and materialized into the shape of a sword. He leaped forward and attacked the chaos fiends with a frenzy.
This time he could finally damaged a chaos creature. Aura attacks are way powerful than normal attacks. Not many can use aura. Not only that, it also takes several years to even use Aura.
Even the royal knight captain of holy kingdom, Cyrus barely able to use aura. Only people at the level of swordmasters can utilise aura and use in battle freely.
To condense aura into a fixed form like weapons, even most of the swordmasters could not do it. It was at the level of a sword grandmaster. However with Anguher's astounding burst mode, he is temporarily qualified to do that.
The chaos fiend got hit by the aura and groan slightly. It quickly retreated to some distant. The remaining four chaos fiends suddenly abandoned their opponents and rush towards Anguher.
To deal with burst mode, there are two simple ways. One was to retreat and wait for the enemy's burst mode to end. After all, burst modes have time limits or high mana consumption rate.
The other is to eliminate the enemy before it could deal more damage with the burst mode. The five chaos fiends possess sufficient strength to use the latter method.
Killian has no intention of having a long fight. Although the chaos fiends are powerful, they are still deep inside the enemy's territory.
Chaos fiends are quite expensive. Moreover, since Killian was in the dungeon, his main army wasn't with him. He has very limited units. Thus he can't afford to waste any of his forces.
A huge battle is waiting for him at the final floor of the dungeon. He has to perverse as many troops as possible.
Killian controlled all the chaos fiends to attack Anguher at the same time. The five chaos fiends opened their mouths and shot out chaos beams toward Anguher.
Anguher shocked and quickly tried to dodge the five incoming red beams. However because of a slight delay, as well as all the attacks are aiming at him, he couldn't dodge in time and hit by the red beams.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound of explosion, Anguher was left with heavy injuries. If not for his aura enduring majority of damages for him, he would have been already dead.
Seeing Anguher's pitiful state, the orc king stopped observing from the side and entered the battlefield. Waves of wind slashes flew out and gave covering fire for Anguher.
The orc king slammed his gigantic axe to the ground. A heavy pressure fall upon the chaos fiends. The gravity became stronger, pulling the chaos fiends to the ground like a magnet.
With the enormous pressure, the mobility of the chaos fiends had greatly reduced. This is the strength of the orc king who is a master of earth element skills.
Killian saw the dire situation of the chaos fiends and ordered them to retreat. They had already done a great damage to the orc kingdom. More and more orc warriors are rushing and swarming here.
Despite the chaos fiends are powerful and could still fight, Killian doesn't want to fight in the enemy's territory too long. Even if he could deal a ton of damage to the orc kingdom if he choose to let the chaos fiends stay and fight, he would properly lose all of them. In addition, chaos fiends are made for sneak attacks. They are quite weak in direct combat compared to the other chaos units.
Furthermore the choas fiends are very expensive to make. It was not worth sacrificing them. It's more efficient to let the demi-human army fight against the orc army.
The strength of the orc kingdom is not weak. It has millions of population and warriors. Because of the long duration that dungeon existed, the population in the dungeon has reached unimaginable high.
The orc kingdom has the strength to destroy four to five sword kingdom with ease. Of cause even the demi-human kingdom is far stronger than the sword kingdom. Their only disadvantage would be the knowledge.
This small attack was just to weaken the orc kingdom's high level combatants. Upon getting Killian's order, the chaos fiends started turning into mist like smoke and flew away.
Anguher's eyes were blood red and rised his hand. All of his remaining aura gathered on his palm and materialized into a spear shaped weapon. He threw the aura spear into the nearest fleeing smoke with all his strength.
The aura spear directly pierce through the target. With a loud cry, the smoke fell down, revealing the body of a groaning chaos fiend. The aura spear that stuck into it's body had slowly faded and disappeared. However the creature is not dead yet.
The orc king snorted coldly and crushed it's head with his gigantic battleaxe. But even without the head the creature is still moving. The orc king frowned. He then smashed the body and found a strange red sphere like thing. He destroyed it into pieces. Only then the creature's body stopped moving and slowly turned to dust.
The red sphere that the orc king destroyed was none other than the chaos core, heart of choas creatures. There are two chaos cores in one choas fiend. One was in the head and another was in it's body. Only by destroying both will the creature be truly dead.
The orc king looked around and had a headache. The damage is too great. Many orc warriors died from this sudden attack. There are even the elite wolf riders among them. But the worst thing is Anguher is severely injured and in his weakened state because of warrior last stand. The other two pillars are also more or less injured.
"This is bad."
The orc king murmured. The demi-human army will be attacking them soon and their army is not in a good shape. The orc king had no idea why these creatures attack them.
"Wait!"
The orc king's eyes lit up. He recalled the report about the new demi-human king. He remembered the surviving warriors said the new demi-human king used red beams like attacks and shadows when he fought Rasner.
The dots are started to connect. The creatures earlier also used the same kind of attacks as the new demi-human king. Is those creatures the new demi-human king's summons? The demi-human kingdom will be attacking them soon. Thus it was extremely likely.
At first, the orc king suspected these creatures are the troll king, Reskker's summons. After all, the troll kingdom had been surpassing the orc kingdom's development in the past few years. However when he carefully think about it, he had never heard of the troll king summoning this kind of monsters.
The troll king is a very powerful dark mage. But his summons are not strong enough to singlehandedly fight someone at the level of pillars. The troll king mainly overwhelmed his opponents with numbers. His summons are not strong but there are too many of them. In battle, the troll king would endlessly summon his minions to exhaust his opponent's strength. Then he would deal the finishing blow by himself.
A cold chill ran through his spines. To be able to summon creatures at this level is too terrifying. Even the greatest dark mage in the nine kingdom, the troll king Reskker cannot summon monsters at this caliber.
