Chapter 74: The Return of the Powerful (1/2)

Demonic half-orcs were a warlike race created by the God of Evil in the ancient times. They possess a sturdy body and an indomitable will. Their constitution is at least several times that of a normal human’s. Whether it was their strength or their survivability, both were things a frail human couldn’t compete with.

These half-orcs valued tradition, respected valor and had a great sense of responsibility to their mission. To them, honor was more important than anything, each half-orc was and aimed to be an outstanding warrior.

To their creator, they were flawless. However, they still couldn’t win over the “weak humans”. This was because they had a fatal flaw; they didn’t like to think and also hated magic.

In other words, they were a bunch of muscle heads who were without a doubt, stupid.

As the werewolf corpses were all carted away, I had no way of knowing their exact death count but it must’ve at least crossed the 50% mark.

Soon, Violet Snow came back from her vigil and I had a discussion partner once more. “In your opinion, what’s our next course of action?”

Come to think of it, the whole reason we came here was to recruit the dogmen. But after arriving, we found that the dogmen were already spoken for. Even now, I still didn’t even know if they were alive or not. Not only that, we ended up fighting the werewolves for no reason. What’s worse was that we didn’t even win…

Regarding my habit of shirking responsibility whenever I’ve met with adversity, she was, to say the least, unhappy about it. She blandly threw these words at me: “You decide.”

“Then…should we follow them?”

“Do you have a deathwish?”

“…not reallly, I’m just sort of curious.”

“Ah huh.” She turned around and left in the opposite direction.

“Hey, don’t leave, I was just kidding…”

After finally coaxing her back, I could only smile wryly at her as I continued our discussion. “ About that werewolf, what tier do you think she’s at?”

“Four-star.” Without any hesitation in her voice, that was the snow-white puppy’s answer. “To be able to take on my magic head on, she must’ve have at least been four-star.”

“Four-star huh…why is she still here then?

“Who knows, four-star counts as the highest combat strength sustainable within the Prison of the Dead, perhaps she doesn’t wish to leave.” She paused for a moment before continuing with furrowed brows: “ It could also be that the demonic werewolves have a strong sense of community and thus she couldn’t bear to leave by herself…”

Judging by words, four-stars were the strongest powers in the Prison of the Dead. It might just be like what she said: better to be the head of a chicken than to be the tail of a phoenix. Is it truly better to be a small fish in the vast exciting world or is it better to be a big fish in this god forsaken place? The answer was a pretty tough one.

“Let’s put aside this question for now. Have you heard of this person called Mo En?” The name “Mo En” had been on my mind all this while, after all, this was the name that ended up saving me. That silver furred werewolf probably thought that I was connected to that name which also means that she was concerned about this name.

Either way, this was a name I couldn’t afford to ignore.

“No.” Violet Snow shook her. “I’ve never heard of that name. Perhaps my level is simply too low or perhaps we just haven’t been in here long enough.”

Just by looking at her, I could tell that she was extremely young, it wasn’t strange for her to not know of some matters.

“Since we can’t advance, we just have to check out the other areas. Who knows, we might just find another source of reinforcements.” Just as we started discussing this, I heard a commotion arising from my subordinates.

The roars of Baccarel echoed across the bony hallways as he ordered the half-orcs into formation. The devils seemed to be readying themselves as well under the command of One-eye. The hellhounds didn’t have much to prepare and so rushed to the devils at the first opportunity.

As for the cause of this ruckus, it was a humanoid silhouette which seemed really familiar…that v-shaped tuft of silver fur…sh**, what is she doing back here…

Standing in front of her was One-eye, the commander of my armies. Next to him, her figure looked even more slender despite her towering height of three meters. That figure is such a violation of the rules…wait, now’s not the time to admire the beauty of the human figure.

“You…why did you come back?”

Sister…why did you have to come back? Are you trying to drive us into a corner!

Truth be told, I was extremely scared right now, scared that this uppity fellow was back to capture me. Even with all these henchmen protecting me, I didn’t feel the least bit safe. Just thinking about her overwhelming speed gave me a headache…I want that speed too…

“I have a matter that requires you, come over here.” That was definitely a female’s voice. Even though her valorous behavior had dulled this significantly, her voice still had the qualities of a lady…an extremely attractive lady. That giant black wolf head however…it’s just a little too much for me…

“There’s no way I’m going over. I dare you to come over and catch me if you can.” Do you think I’m stupid enough to fall for such a ruse?

Seeing my defiant attitude, she immediately lost her patience and said: “Devil, my patience is limited, you better get a move on it.”

“Come get me then!” Once a man says he won’t go over, he won’t go over.

“Stubborn fellow…”

Just as she was about to act on that dare, Violet Snow kicked my shins with her tiny little paws. “I suggest you listen to her, if she really wants to capture you, you can’t avoid her. It’s only a matter of whether she has to expend that much more effort. If you aren’t lucky, she might just decide to kill you instead.”
