Chapter 21: What a Handsome Lord! (1/2)

-----

The Tribe of Orcs from the East has surrendered to Chaos!

After having defeated their army, composed mostly of males, the tribe was left defenseless and filled with mostly women, elders, and children.

There were some strong women that cold fight, but they didn't even amount to 30, and Chaos could easily kill them with a mere breath.

Dura, who was considered intelligent by Chaos, quickly surrendered to his might.

Chaos recognized their survival instincts and seemed to have grown a bit of admiration over the Orcs.

Having slaughtered all the males, he felt the necessity to take over them and make them his servants. The children crying inside the tribe didn't particularly bother him, but he imagined that if he helped them, these children might grow into healthy adults that could serve him as well.

He didn't pity any of them but recognized them.

Or perhaps… within his twisted soul and his grotesque mind, was there some pity?

Perhaps…

Chaos had become even more inhuman now, yet, deep down, he was trying to find some kind of emotion, something that lingered within.

Although he was born as a killing machine… was there anything else than endless slaughter?

There clearly was more, but it was up to him to discover his own emotions and develop them more.

Belphegor and Abyss had grown to be rather close to him in these hours, and he planned to develop more of his emotions with them.

Chaos postponed the adventure into the dungeon for the moment and decided to move the entire Orc tribe into his own territory, bring forth a caravan of Green Skins behind him, as he watched over the beasts that emerged in the night.

Through the travel back to the castle, a gigantic worm-like creature known as a Nether Abyss Worm, an SS-Rank beast, had attacked the caravan.

However, Chaos easily took care of it by falling over it and tearing it apart with his bare claws.

Through the journey, he enjoyed the flesh of the beast, which was way more nutritious and contained way more energy and power than the Orcs.

[You learned the following Skills!]

[Tunneler]: Grants the ability to easily dig through any type of rock, earth, and ore, leaving a tunnel behind.

[Nether Worm's Razor-Sharp Teeth]: Grants the ability to create razor-sharp teeth that spiral around like a deadly chainsaw, dealing damage based on the user's Strength.

Ding!

[Blood Core Rank: [Level IV: Draconic Vampire (Upper Stage)] has increased to [Peak Stage]!]

[Dragon Heart Rank: [Level IV: Adult Blood Dragon (Upper Stage)] has increased to [Peak Stage]!]

[Existence Realm: [Pseudo Demi-Deity: 1/9 (Middle Stage)] has increased to 2/9!]

[All your stats have increased!]

It seemed that Chaos had gained some more power, but this wasn't probably by the tasty and gigantic worm alone, but he had also eaten those weakened and sealed demons beforehand, which probably also helped on the cultivation of his blood core and dragon heart.

Ding!

[You can now evolve!]

”Evolve?” wondered Chaos, as he glanced at the system window, after reaching Peak Stage in everything, he was now able to evolve!

Chaos decided to leave this for later, as he led his new servants into the castle.

After reaching the castle, Chaos slowly began to make a loyalty contract with every Orc, even the young children.

These Loyalty Contracts were made through his unique Chaos Magic. By creating chains made of miasma inside the souls of the Orcs and connecting them to him, Chaos would now be able to know whenever any of these Orcs harbored any motive that wanted to give him or anyone close to him any harm, in any way shape or form.

”Lord Chaos is truly a benevolent man,” said Abyss, praising Chaos's benevolence.

”Benevolent? Well, perhaps?” wondered Chaos.

After today's activities, the Orcs were introduced to the castle by the other members, who seemed rather intimidating due to their powerful presence.
