Orc Harem Vol 4 Chapter 21

Chapter 21: The True Monster

.

My sight was dyed red.

My whole body was so hot like it was on fire.

I was changing into monster.

It was impossible for the bloating up power to be contained within human form. My body was also bloating up like my power. I was transforming into an ugly monster.

I didn’t even feel sad about that. My chest was filled with joy.

Arrogantly, greedily, rampantly.

I threw away my humanity and fell to become animal.

I was changing into animal. There was a me who was watching that me from far away like an audience who was wrecked in fever.

This too was one of my struggles in order to return to normal. The instant I released the seal, I created a new personality and cut it off. That was the me who was watching myself.

「GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!」

I yelled.

It felt like I would die from the heat burning me inside if I didn’t do that.

Just by yelling, the ground broke and a storm whirled out.

「Fumu, are you stupid? You know about my failure. Power that cannot be controlled will only serve as a shackle. Aa, what a waste. Even though your intellect and technique were that radiant.」

Yeah, you are correct.

Yeah, you are mistaken.

Yeah, you will realize.

I swung down my fist.

I poured my magic power into it. I added every kind of offensive ability over it. It was the embodiment of a will to smash.

The monster tried to do something.

Some kind of cheap trick.

He must be trying to show off his skill.

I could see some kind of thin membrane.

He was trying to display his technique to redirect the blow without blocking it directly.

However…….

「Wha-, impossible」

This fist smashed through everything and crushed the monster.

The guy’s clever protection, rhinoceros beetle’s exoskeleton, dragon scale, beast claws, sea lion’s thick fat, rubber creature’s skin, some kind of defensive magic, etc. All of them were rendered meaningless by my countless offensive abilities.

Every kind of petty tricks didn’t have any meaning in front of overwhelming power.

The guy’s body lost its original shape and liquid sloshed out. Even that evaporated in an instant.

However that vapor gathered and took human shape.

「Haa, haa, that’s, that’s, what’s that!」

I replied with my fist.

The monster grew countless wings and tried to run, but he was just really slow.

I easily caught up. I could see him deploying teleportation magic shrewdly. But, there was no need to mind it.

The magic power dwelling in my fist was too immense. The force field at the surrounding twisted. Something like a delicate magic formula crumble in an instant.

The teleportation didn’t activate. My fist sunk in and the guy was blown away.

The speed approached sublight speed. The shockwave at the aftermath surpassed even the shockwave that was caused by Orkcalibur. Destruction that could destroy a single city was inflicted to the surrounding.

「GRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY」

I ran and caught up to that monster who was blown away in sublight speed and smashed him to the ground like in volleyball game.

He went splat into liquid again, but this time that liquid gouged into the ground. A crater with unseen bottom was created and magma burst out.

It didn’t feel itchy even though that magma showered me.

After all, the heat inside me was far hotter than that.

Cracks entered the world.

The world that was created by the monster was going to crumble just from a punch of brute force.

Aa, how ridiculous.

The monster regenerated again.

But, I understood. Its power of existence was halved every time it regenerated.

It had already been reduced to something that couldn’t be called monster anymore. From the start, it was nothing than a small fry in front of the real monster.

However I would never overlook it.

That thing was trying to take away something important from me.

That thing was looking down and toying with me.

That thing prattled about enveloping my playing ground with stupid nightmare.

Then, I could only crush him.

If he didn’t die even though I had crushed him twice, then I’d keep doing it no matter how many times until it died.

「Lies-, lies, impossible. How can this be, even if you are a balancer, with something like this, the balance itself will, aren’t you yourself a balance breakerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!」

He opened his eyes wide while screaming.

He already realized.

That he couldn’t prevent the destruction that would befall him after this.

His destruction was falling down from above him.

「URYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

I attacked with all my strength.

I corrected myself about crushing him no matter how many times.

That would be troublesome.

That was why, I poured that kind of power. The power of destruction, the will of destruction itself. It wouldn’t allow regeneration or reincarnation.

I wished to do that.

Then I could do that.

I could do something so absurd, that was why I was a monster.

Demon king and hero, great sage, hero party, demon king’s four heavenly kings. All of them exerted the full extent of their power before they were finally able to match a single toddler. That power had grown properly. This was the result.

「Aa, so this is the end. ……Let me thank you. I can meet my end as human.」

*Puchi-*

I crushed that like stepping on a bug.

The world that he created completely crumbled.

I couldn’t feel happy about that.

I who was watching the me who became a monster from outside knew.

This monster was released from the dream world.

That would become even greater harm for the world than the continuously expanding dream.

◇

I who was cut off could do nothing except watching the monster(me).

At this rate, I would destroy the world.

Besides, it looked like the limit of me being able to be like this was also approaching.

The heat was spreading until here too.

An animal with too much power that could do nothing but destroying. That was me with the seal completely removed.

The difference between that monster and me was whether there was a chain that bound us or not.

『Should I use that power?』

In the battle this time, I didn’t use the power that I received from the fairy.

I was in an absolutely desperate pinch. It was to the degree that I had to use the forbidden move, releasing the seal that had the risk of me being unable to come back.

If I used that power, there would be other way I could take. But, it was wrong to use that power there. Yes, my sixth instinct told me that. Furthermore, I felt it when my instinct was strengthened due to the release of the power of Evol Orc’s blood.

That was why, I didn’t choose that method.

If my decision was mistaken, there would be nothing I could do except helplessly accepting the certain defeat.

Now then, my hope to return back lie in this part of me that was cut off and one other thing.

The black winged demon king Lilith. She was my only hope.

「Ork-chan, sorry, I’m sorry, if only, I was more reliable, you wouldn’t need to become a monster like that, I’m sorry.」

No, don’t apologize, do something about it quickly.

After all in this world Lilith was the only one with the possibility of being able to do something about me somehow.

……Well, I wasn’t worried.

Lilith, that person who I thought as a big sister was a strong person.

I entrusted everything to her knowing that. I was able to believe my instinct that this wasn’t the time to use that trump card.

Lilith wiped her tears.

And then she closed her eyes.

She spread her wings fully.

Nightmare’s ability, interference to dream, and then control through the dream.

There was no existence that could crush me from head-on.

However, I might be able to be controlled if it was Lilith.

「Wait there, Onee-chan will save you.」

She used the magic to invite me to the dream.

The monster(me) noticed that. But, it didn’t attack Lilith. That thing didn’t have any rational mind right now, but Lilith had no ill will toward me so it didn’t feel any killing intent, at the same time Lilith was too tiny for it to vent its heat. That was why it didn’t have any interest toward her.

However…….

A magic in the level that Lilith used could be deflected just from the aura it was wearing.

That was why, I would accomplish my last duty.

Lilith unleashed her magic. At the same time I challenged the monster(me).

Yes, I launched a suicide attack toward my main body with this separated mind. I punched its mind with mind.

Now, monster(me), I was troublesome right? After all I was your other self.

The monster(me) turned all its focus to remove the foreign subject.

That made the protection toward Lilith’s magic to loosen.

In addition, its mind was focused toward crushing me.

Lilith’s dream magic was a mental interference type magic. It would have the easiest time to work on the target when the target’s focus was distracted to other thing like this.

I was crushed. I vanished, swallowed by the monster(me), returning back to where I came from.

It seemed my role was over. My consciousness was fading.

Lilith, take care, of, me……
