Chapter 36: Now—The Second Obstacle: Orc Emperor!

The bewilderment the previous battle had left us with still hadn’t dissipated as we climbed higher and higher.

With no one standing in our way, we climbed to the fifth floor and the sixth without conflict. By the look of things, we wouldn’t have to fight anyone save for those three guards that Cerberus mentioned.

Their battle formation consisted of only the cream of the crop, the greatest forces picked out from the castle’s elites. Presumably, they realized it was meaningless to send any half-baked forces at the hero. It would only lead to needless loss. Only the greatest of foes awaited us. Awaiting the final fight.

Not that Cerberus had fought us at all.

“On your guard. Something’s here,” Cain cautioned us halfway up the stairs. “I sense a strong aggression.”

“Just what I wanted to hear,” said Rachel.

It seemed the next enemy awaited us on the next floor. It was so powerful, I could feel its aura even from the floor below.

Two guards to go.

Cain took the lead, vigilant as he cleared the stairs.

We were in an open space again. I could feel a terrifying degree of bloodlust emanating from the back of this spacious hall. It rocked my senses, making me hallucinate the air around me crackling and trembling beneath it.

The second guard wasn’t as large as Cerberus. At most, it stood at three or four meters high. As a matter of fact, it looked puny within the vastness of the demon lord’s castle. But the air it exuded was incredible.

Sweat naturally spread across my brow as I faced this monstrous entity, its mere presence terrifying me to my core.

“Orc Emperor...”

The being ahead was the apex of orc-kind. The strongest orc. A peerless orc.

Atop his head boldly rested a diadem that glimmered with gold. There was confidence and dignity in his stance. I felt thoroughly overwhelmed just seeing him standing there. I feared I might kneel down on the spot if I wasn’t careful.

The Orc Emperor awaited us.

“WAAAAAAARRRG!”

As we entered his line of sight, the Orc Emperor let out a roar that seemed to shake the very foundations of space. It was nothing but a loud voice, and I was nearly blown off of my feet.

Cain and his comrades readied their weapons without a moment’s hesitation.

“Unforgivable... Heroes, I shall never forgive... I shall never forgive you!”

The Orc Emperor unleashed a maelstrom of hatred and anger. The flames of his fury burned bright in his eyes, and we could feel the full brunt of his ire.

Any ordinary person would have frozen in their tracks, immobilized by fear.

“Accursed heroes! I will never forgive you! I will tear you to shreds, no matter what it takes!”

Cain took his anger head-on. “Hah! I suppose to you demons, we must look like harbingers of death and destruction. I’ve sliced through thousands of orcs to get here. I understand why you’d hold a grudge,” he replied to the Orc Emperor.

War was a cycle of hatred breeding more hatred.

Demons were beings of intelligence. They were more than mere monsters.
