Chapter 231 The Orcs' Despair
Chapter 231 The Orcs' Despair
Faced with six orcs, Xia Sheng couldn't possibly use his katana technique, Rising Dragon, to deal with them one by one from the very beginning.
This not only requires him to give it his all, but he can only deal with one at a time, since he has to inflict damage from the inside.
Once this move is exposed, the orcs will be on guard, and he might never be able to use it again.
Then he would be at a loss.
Shiina Mahiru's black flames are the absolute nemesis of orcs, and she can easily deal with them.
It just requires magic.
Perfect timing, Xia Sheng can replenish her energy and act as her power bank.
The two of them could take care of most of the orcs first, and then Xia Sheng could take them down by surprise.
This is their best, and only, solution.
We can't afford to be careless with those six orcs.
Natsumi quickly replenished Shiina Mahiru's magic power, and the two separated without lingering on intimacy, then approached the orc whose defenses had been burned away.
It has already been slaughtered by others.
Shiina Mahiru let Natsuo hold her, gripped the hilt of her sword tightly with both hands, and slashed horizontally at the orc's neck.
The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant, the orc's head rolling to the ground.
Black blood gushed out like a fountain, turning into black rain that fell down.
Natsumi continued moving with Shiina Mahiru in his arms, getting closer to the other four orcs.
When the two approached, they were actually afraid and retreated.
But it was no use. Natsumi's speed was far beyond theirs. Even Shiina Mahiru, who enhanced her magic through her body, was faster than them.
The two easily approached a lagging orc. Shiina Mahiru had already condensed a black fire lotus and threw it at the orc.
Boom!
The moment the black lotus touched the orc, it instantly burst into flames, engulfing and devouring him.
The burning sensation of the black flames was beyond the comprehension of the orc, who immediately cried out in anguish, lying on the ground and rolling around in agony.
To avoid being affected by him, Natsumi carried Shiina Mahiru away and replenished her magic power.
The two kissed and wandered around.
By the time the magic power was replenished, the black flames had burned away all of the orc's defenses.
Natsumi came to its side, Shiina Mahiru separated from him, licked her lips with a smile, then looked at the orc and brought her sword down.
Another head rolled over.
"Howl-!"
One of the orcs finally couldn't take it anymore. It turned around and approached Xia Sheng and the others.
It's just suicide.
With abundant magical power within her, Shiina Mahiru condensed a black lotus and threw it at the oncoming orc.
Knowing he couldn't withstand the attack, the orc tried to dodge to the side. However, the black lotus seemed to have its own consciousness and changed direction, continuing to fly towards it. Caught off guard, the orc was touched, and instantly the black flames intensified.
It cried out and struggled, but to no avail, until it exhausted all its strength and lay on the ground, barely alive.
Natsumi carried Shiina Mahiru to its side. The two separated, and the connecting thread broke. She licked her lips, which were moist and shiny, and smiled charmingly.
The orcs were no longer a threat to her. Now, relaxed and at ease, she naturally revealed her true nature again.
"Don't get cocky, be careful." Xia Sheng patted her bottom to warn her against being careless.
"Hmm~ I know~" Shiina Mahiru said coquettishly, then cleanly and neatly severed the orc's head.
"There are two more." Xia Sheng looked at the two orcs who were retreating. Sure enough, there was a reason why he had summoned them as well.
Although it requires his awakening, the power gained from awakening is too strong.
With their companionship and fighting alongside him, he was able to easily repel the invaders.
"They're all afraid of us now," Shiina Mahiru chuckled.
"After all, your black flames are too strong. Let's finish this quickly."
"Okay~"
Natsuo, carrying Shiina Mahiru, swaggered toward them.
The two orcs had long since lost their initial composure; their rugged faces now showed obvious fear, and their eyes were filled with terror.
They didn't understand why Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru kissed each time they defeated one of their companions, nor did they understand the meaning behind this behavior, let alone know that the two were transferring magic power.
All they knew was that the human girl's black flames could easily pierce their proud skin, leaving them defenseless.
Unable to resist!
There's no solution!
There's no escaping it!
Even if I wanted to fight, I wouldn't have the chance!
All we can do is wait to die.
For the first time, they experienced the feeling of helplessness.
Despair enveloped their hearts, rendering them incapable of taking any action.
Natsumi, carrying Shiina Mahiru, stopped a short distance from the two orcs, just in case they retaliated or had any other tricks up their sleeves.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
This distance is sufficient.
Shiina Mahiru raised her hand, a black fire lotus gathering in her palm, and with an indifferent look in her eyes, tossed one of them.
The orc could only cross its arms in front of its chest to block; they had long since retreated to a corner, their backs against the stone wall, with nowhere left to go.
However, how could its arms possibly withstand it?
The moment the black flames touched it, they exploded violently, completely enveloping it and scorching its entire skin.
The black flames will burn everything they touch, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they will destroy everything in their path. The amount of fire depends on the magical power that Shiina Mahiru gathers.
But the orcs don't understand. They don't know how to take the damage away, and they have no weapons for defense. Their prized skin is nothing more than prey that has been targeted.
While the orcs were being burned, Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru kissed, ignoring the last orc.
It has lost all confidence and dares not move.
After replenishing their magic, the two separated. Shiina Mahiru once again condensed a black fire lotus and threw it at the last orc.
And it, leaning against the stone wall, could only watch helplessly as the fire lotus touched it, enveloping and burning it.
"Roar!"
With a mournful cry, Black Lotus lost its impenetrable skin, and it knelt helplessly on the ground, its body charred black and utterly exhausted.
Shiina Mahiru no longer needed to replenish her magic power. She jumped down from Natsuo's arms and killed the last two orcs.
It's still a head-relocation operation that leaves no room for compromise.
Since we are intruders, we should be prepared to be killed.
Xia Sheng stood still, scanning the bodies of the six half-orcs scattered around him, his mood surprisingly calm.
Orcs aren't actually that hard to deal with; with Shiina Mahiru around, it's even quite easy.
They are not as powerful as they appear. Once they lose all their support, they become weak and powerless, afraid to resist or fight back.
However, Shiina Mahiru's abilities are indeed too strong. Although there are limitations, there are also those who can compensate for them.
Indeed, defending against the invaders was not just his responsibility; they also needed to do so.
As long as they are together, there is no intruder they cannot defeat.
He was somewhat looking forward to seeing the abilities of the others after they awakened.
Don't misunderstand, it's definitely not my primary goal to have a romantic relationship with them.
He is the savior, and the savior's purpose is, of course, to save the world.
"Natsuo, we did it!" Shiina Mahiru breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly threw herself into Natsuo's arms.
She never imagined they could defeat the orcs so easily; although they had a plan, she had expected it to be a tough battle.
"Thanks to you." Xia Sheng hugged her and praised her with a smile.
"It's all thanks to us," Shiina Mahiru said, not taking credit for herself.
"Thanks to you all." Yukino Yukinoshita walked over at that moment.
"Aren't we amazing?" Shiina Mahiru asked her proudly. Amazing.
"Hmph~ Good luck then, I'd like to see how good you are."
Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Just do whatever you want, why are you rushing her?" Xia Sheng slapped her bottom reproachfully and separated from her.
"Hmph, I did this for you." Shiina Mahiru huffed, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Let's talk about it when you turn back."
Xia Sheng didn't believe what she was saying at this moment, so he gave a perfunctory reply and walked towards the half-orc's corpse.
"What are you going to do?" Shiina Mahiru asked, following him.
"Drink their blood," Xia Sheng replied.
"Didn't you already acquire their abilities? And aren't they useless now?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked.
"It might even enhance your abilities," Xia Sheng explained.
"I see." Yukino Yukinoshita understood what he meant.
