Chapter 33 - When The Day Breaks.

Marching towards the battlefield having a few hundred Hobgoblin and Tempest wolf with him knowing that they were enough to overwhelm their opponent. Erix flying on the sky with Kanami, Albedo and Rimuru having his wings sprouted looking at the direction where the orc army is heading towards. Erix was watching them struggling against the army of Orcs and the place almost became a flat land from the devastation caused from their battle.

Surprisingly they are able to fend off quite well because Erix had warned them beforehand to see their worth since they won't merely trust some stranger and join hands. He let them see for themselve how weak they are and how serving him would be better.

He could feel the presence of the orc lord having the Demon lord seed and soon to be awakened. Erix watched as the orc general approached the Ogre chief or future shuna's father and from what he can see using his skills is that the man was a coward lacking honor. He saw what seemed to be Shuna's mother close by and she looked like an adult version of her fending off the orc with her magic.

Her body and curves does make Erix glist in interest, desiring to steal her from the ogre chief and deciding to manipulate the scenario by putting shuna in danger and force her father to show his true self.

"Aren't we going to help them?" Rimuru was somewhat anxious watching the fight and unable to stay and was eager to save them as she was too kind for her own good. Kanami felt the same way but trusted her lord while Albedo was indifferent since she does not view them as anything but potential pawns and candidates.

"Go and fight the Orc lord. Kanami assists her while Albedo begins the assault once I head down." Erix told them as Rimuru nodded flying towards the orc lord followed by Kanami who was ready to fight. He watched them leave waiting a bit more looking down as the orc general that he manipulated fought the ogre chief who had lost his mind which signaled Erix to take action and summoned forth his spear before chanting, taking it seriously in case someone interfered and said.

"Standeth before me…"

Erix's first lines cause the sky to dim into scarlet red where the atmosphere was dread as if something horrifying was descending.

"Bare witness for the seven days of armageddon." His [ Shormaush Urdal Armor ] where the seven eyes on it opened while Erix released a powerful wave of energy inflicting the entire land.

"Dies Irae: Testament of the End!" Erix finished chanting and instantly the sound of cracking was heard as he glanced at something instantly shattering whoever watching before descending on the ground and next to the future shuna putting her behind him while looking at the squirming body of the chief as the orc around them fall when Erix blared his Demon Haki and said.

"How pathetic, a victor always been decided by those who fought courageously."

==========

It was a quiet and normal day where the only strange occurrence was the disappearance of their Guardian Veldora Tempest. Unfortunately, their fate was heading towards a tragic end as It was shortly after dark when the Orcs began their raid. They came from all sides, perfectly encircling the village while firing flaming arrows at the thatch-roofed houses.

Nearly five thousand orcs rushed in from all sides with the rest close by as they began cutting down and injuring dozens of Ogre men and women, but strangely, none of them were killed. It only took a minute before the Ogres, who now had time to prepare, began to fight back. With their superior strength and speed, it looked like, for the briefest of moments, the Ogres would win, but then it happened.

The Orcs suddenly became several times stronger, as though they gained the inherent racial strength of the Ogres themselves.

"Damn them! That Majin was right! The Orcs did attack!"

Future Shion yelled as she smashed another face in with her Morningstar. She quickly jumped forward, grabbed a crying child in her arms, and jumped to the town square, where the Ogres were regrouping.

"There's no end to them!" The future Souei said as he used string to dice the orc to pieces but only part of them was cut as their resistance was too high.

"Everyone follow me!" The Future Kurobe and best blacksmith as he helps women and children go at a safer pace. Few more of the ogre men died from the assault as they protected their family. Meanwhile, their leaders were currently fighting hordes of Orcs.

"Father! We should have at least listened to the offer of that Majin! He even warned us for free and he was strong enough to have dealt with all of them by now!" Future Benimaru yelled as he shot another {Ogre Flame} at a group of Orcs, turning them into bacon.

"Shut up! Stupid son! We are the Ogres, the greatest race in Jura! We will not be defeated by mere Orcs!" The chieftain yelled back while his son clicked his tongue looking at his father's stubborn nature and wanted to refute but his too occupied fighting the orcs.

"Damn!" The chief yelled as the remaining Ogres made their way to the center.

"We are lucky that we were warned. It looks like even though we have some injured, no one has been killed or eaten yet!" The chieftain's wife commented after shooting a bolt of blue flame that exploded, creating slightly overdone pork chops out of an Orc who nearly grabbed her youngest daughter.

"Princess!" Future Hakuro yelled as he saw future Shuna being grabbed by the Orc General he was fighting against.

'Damn it all! If I were younger, someone of this level would be nothing to me!' He cursed to himself. Suddenly, the battlefield fell silent. All but one of the Ogres who were in the village were now squeezed into a tiny circle in the middle of the village.

The Orc General seemed to stop the advance of his unit, creating a tense atmosphere as blood soaked the ground and wailes of pain could be heard by the injured. Fire illuminated the otherwise smoky and dark village.

"Heh! You have nowhere to run, Ogre filth! Surrender to us now, at least then you may live as slaves!" He stared with glowing red eyes and their mind having deteriorated from the effect of [ Starved ]. Though, part of it was manipulated by Erix to make a little show and see how it will go.

"What!?! We shall never surrender! Unhand my daughter this instant and face the wrath of the Ogre Chief's blade!"

"No. This one is the only decent-looking one here. She will make a fine gift for the Orc Lord. The rest of your women shall serve my men! We need to replace all the precious Orc blood you've spilled here today, after all!"

"Insolence! I shall not stand for this any longer!" The Chieftain said as he prepared to charge.

"Ahahah!" the Orc General said, bringing his large broadsword to the neck of future Shuna.

"Tch!"

"If you are so confident, perhaps we should make a wager?" The Orc General said, passing Shuna to one of his

"What is your demand, pig!?" The chief's wife asked, with a cracking voice.

"Fight me, oh arrogant chieftain! One-on-One! If you win, we shall leave and return your daughter."

"Lies! There isn't any reason one of your commanders wouldn't try to avenge you!"

"Ah, but you see. I am an Orc General and my life extends the presence of the Orc Lord's Unique Skill [Starved]. If I were to die, then the Orcs here would lose their additional strength and be out of range of the Orc Lord's area of effect and revert to their normal state. Surely the Orcs in this situation would be easy pickings for you no?"

'Damn him! He knows that with this many Orcs, we would still suffer significant casualties, though we would still survive!' Future Benimaru thought to himself.

"And if you win?" Benimaru asks.

"When I win, we eat the men and children and keep the women as our relief. If our hunger cannot be sated then perhaps our lust can be..."

"Very well! I accept your challenge!"

The arrogant chieftain yelled as he charged the Orc General before he even finished talking.

*Clang!*

The Ogre chieftain and the Orc General began their dual. While this was happening, some of the Ogres noticed that more and more of the Orcs surrounding them had begun to collapse, while their wounds were mysteriously healing. This commotion startled many and they began to look around, but before they could spot their invisible savior...

*Bang*

*Clash*

The Ogre Chieftains arm, which was holding its sword, was suddenly severed by the Orc General's strong swing.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The red-haired man yelled as he fell to the floor, holding his arm. The orce stood over him as he squirmed in pain while the other ogre could only watch their leader defeated.

"It seems I have won." the Orc said as he stepped closer. Panic swept across the Ogre chief's face.

"W-WAIT! PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!" He yelled, waving his one good arm in front of him. The other Ogre, especially Benimaru, looked dumbstruck at the sudden change of tone of the chief ogre.

"Don't beg, it's unsightly."

"I-I-I can be of service to your Orc Lord! Please just let my, no I myself am enough! Let me live, please! You can have my daughter and the others!" He screamed, ignoring the look of betrayal and shocked shouts from the crowd.

"F-father..." future Shuna spoke with broken words and tears streaming down her face.

"Y-You bastard! How can you say such a thing!!" His wife yelled out Madden by the fact her husband dared utter such an atrocity.

'Old Man!' Benimaru thought in shock and rage.

"Hahaha! You would betray your kin and close family just so that you may live?"

"Y-yes! I am the one who will evolve into a Kijin someday! I can't die in a place like-" It was then everyone felt ominous presence coming forth as the sky deemed and turned scarlet red as the ogre instantly felt a presence and heard a deep and regal voice.

"How pathetic, a victor always been decided by those who fought courageously."

He said, interrupting this facade. He stood next to the rescued Ogre Princess while all of the Orcs around them fell dead on the ground as they all saw his appearances that had a wild scarlet red hair and five eyes with Horns on the side like crown and red thorn like halo adorn in black and scarlet armor with Seven eyes a motif wielding a red spear.
