**Loki POV**
After an hour of the party relocating to a different section of the woods and searching that the first Orc had been located. The scouts who had returned told of some rather unique things they had spotted. The first being the presence of three succubi with green crystals in the center of their foreheads. Those succubi were fighting an orc with whips or to be more accurate the Orc was on its hands and knees seemingly trying to procreate with the ground. The report had been delivered in rather vague terms to avoid corrupting the prince with such imagery, his unknown mental age allowed him to visualize it and he almost had to regurgitate thinking about it. The orcs of this world have pig like faces and their body practically bursts with fat and the muscles hidden underneath. The average orc weighs around 850lbs and stands at around six feet.
Orcs were often called a killer of the inexperienced due to how they had massive strength, bulk, and a decent speed. Anything else? You can't expect that from a normal Orc as on average their stats were as follows:
[Stats]
● HP: 80
● Str: 50
● Mag: 0
● Skl: 5
● Spd: 25
● Lck: 0
● Def: 2
● Res: 1
● Charm: 0
Normally it would take a party of less experienced Adventurers to take one down without fatalities since the attacks of the Orc usually kill outright in this case. Notices had been sent out to vacate these woods which made the presence of three demons who could torment an Orc stand out even more. Mekkla could be seen practically boiling with rage, not only would this hunt likely be called off due to some schemes possibly creating a goblin king, there were even people not respecting a proclamation of the Emperor. "I will deal with those interlopers, the rest of you will keep them from even dreaming of getting close to His Highness!" Those who knew Mekkla for an extended period quickly got into action putting Loki under an even tighter guard as the reported scene came into view.
The orc was indeed on its hands and knees, fat jiggling every time a whip landed on it, and the pig face was such a disgusting sight making that certain facial expression. One final lash landed on the Orc causing it to taint the ground with a deluge of white as it had a final breath at the same time.Not thinking much Loki used some light magic that resembled cheap censorship to cover up the surely R-rated sight. The spell caught the attention of the three succubi who all turned to look at Loki simultaneously.
"Hey, hey is it just me or is that little NPC really cute? Just look at those soft cheeks, those ears, and that innocent face~ I almost want to test how realistic this is~" This succubus had purple hair with brown horns signifying that she wasn't a mere lesser succubus, her figure practically screamed milf with an ample bust and hips. She was staring at Loki like she wanted to eat him up and as she started to drool the crystal on her forehead almost turned yellow. For some reason this woman was in a bunny girl outfit.
Loki who quickly hid himself behind a number of knights was rubbing his arms trying to chase away the goosebumps. Feeling safe from the predatory gaze he finally managed to think about the words she said.
(NPC? Realistic? Isn't that crystal like some sort of indicator for players in the novels about VRMMORPGs?)
"Saya, look at what you did! You scared the poor kid!" A blue haired succubus with white horns put her hands on her hips with a true hourglass figure though smaller proportions than the purple haired one. This one had what seemed like a dancer outfit in a way with plenty of silk and exposure. "Don't you remember the details of the quest? An important person would be attacked in these woods by a Goblin King, who else looks important here?" The pink haired succubus in a maid outfit with red horns whom Loki could only describe as a loli in his mind especially with those twintails and near washboard of a figure let out a sigh before speaking up. "Kaya why did you mention it like that? See, his guards are preparing for battle now. My apologies for the actions of my sisters. My name is Faya we are a B-rank adventurer team, Floral Maidens. The guild has noticed an uptick in goblin activity and sent us to investigate. Here is our mission request." The mission request floated over and Mekkla snatched it out of the air quickly scanning it over, meanwhile Simon looked like he wanted to just give up at this point.
"Indeed this does come from the guild, however it says nothing about a Goblin King. Even if there is a Goblin King, it isn't something B-ranks can resolve." Mekkla wanted nothing more than to cut down these three here and now, but if he did so the guild might withdraw from numerous cities and villages allowing many monsters to invade several locations at once.
"You would be correct, however we have stumbled into a goblin general already and dispatched it. This is the core it had formed and proof of there being a King." Similar to the document the core was sent floating over and Mekkla gravely nodded after he finished inspecting it allowing Jirai and Simon to look who came to the same conclusion. "As for our strength we haven't been promoted due to a lack of finished jobs, this would be my sister Kaya's stats."
A status orb was sent over and the following content was inside:
[Status]
[Tier 3]
[Class: Sensual Superstar (Unique)
[Level 60]
● HP: 745
●Str: 510
●Mag: 985
●Skl: 1225
●Spd: 1425
●Lck: 105
●Def: 335
●Res: 815
●Charm: 2110
Loki felt like his eyes were going to pop out considering those numbers being as high as they were for her at least having forty levels still that she can gain. The Charm stat would only make the other two succubi all the more dangerous considering that four hundred plus buff which will apply to everything other than their HP, Luck, and Charm. Just to make a mental comparison Loki thought about the time he had seen Mekkla's stats.
[Status]
[Tier 3]
[Class: Imperial Guard, Vice-Captain (Unique)
[Level 90]
●HP: 2355
●Str: 2050
●Mag: 0
●Skl: 1600
●Spd: 1200
●Lck: 90
●Def: 1845
●Res: 470
●Charm: 1240
What made it worse was the room for growth, Mekkla only has ten levels remaining to improve himself ignoring the feasibility of reaching level 100. Meanwhile a Charm focused build may just prove able to wipe the floor with him in a solo fight assuming they would have the same level. The only reason Mekkla had a unique title is due to his position as both his Tier 1 and 2 classes were normal ones.
"If you and your other comrade are close to that benchmark, but focused on stats other than Charm it does seem like you could take on a Goblin King." Mekkla was hesitating to take on such a foe in the current circumstances, especially with the possibility of them turning around and trying to harm Loki in the middle of an altercation.
"Mekkla, if we can slay this Goblin King I want it to perish sooner than later. If we give it time it might flee to places we don't want it to flee." One might assume it was an implication of fleeing to villages or cities though Jirai nodded along with a gleam in his eyes. "Killing the Goblin King and a number of the goblins it commands should help all of the people here avoid having to take responsibility for the close shave earlier." Mekkla could only nod to the request of his Prince after Jirai came to his aid and there was also the fact that he would prefer to see his men learn from the incident while not losing everything.
An agreement was quickly settled upon for the Floral Maidens to hunt the King while the Imperial Guard, Dawnbreakers and Nibulg elites would focus on the elimination of as many goblins as possible serving the purpose of a feint and to keep them from interfering in the subjugation.
