I am the punishment

While the orcs were fighting against the lizardmen and ate them to become stronger, and the lizardmen fought for their survival, and the others were going to be threatened by this orc, they didn't know the source of all of this disaster was four bored Demon Lords.

Yes, a bored Demon Lord.

The four Demon Lords were bored, so they thought to create a Demon Lord.

This Demon Lord was the Orc Lord.

By making the Orc Lord into a symbol of horror, then letting it rampage through the forest and even the human country, it would soon turn into a Demon Lord like them.

Still, even so, they had never thought of this Orc Lord as their comrade. Instead, they only thought of it as their source of fun.

"Oh! Keep fighting!"

"It seems that it is about to evolve soon."

"Yeah, it has rampaged on the ogre villages before, after all."

"You sure that the plan is perfect, right?"

"Yes, leave everything to this Gelmud!"

The organizer of this show Gelmudo, bowed his head respectfully, facing all four Demon Lords. Yet, inwardly, watching, he was laughing happily since if this plan was successful, then he would be able to control a Demon Lord!

He would have a Demon Lord on his hands!

By then, he would be standing in the same place as the four of the Demon Lords in front of him!

For this Great Lord Gelmudo, standing on the side of the Demon Lord was the perfect place for him!

Still, while everyone watched how the group of orcs rampaged through the forest and also had their battle against the orcs, they saw a white figure that caught their attention, but the screen on the magic item which they used to watch the situation suddenly turned black and lost its connection.

"....." Everyone.

"Gelmudo."

Even if they didn't say anything, Gelmudo was scared silly. He stood straight, and he was full of cold sweats.

"I will check this matter immediately!"

The reason he could stand up now and also have Orc Lord as his tool was because of the four of them. The four of them were his sponsors, so if he angered them, he would receive a consequence that he couldn't imagine.

"I will immediately check on this matter! Please don't worry! Leave everything to this Gelmudo!"

Gelmudo quickly bowed his head before he left to check what was happening, but inwardly, he was full of anger toward the orcs as they messed around with his project.

However, the four of the Demon Lords thought about the white figure they had seen. They only saw his back and didn't see his appearance, yet somehow, they couldn't get him away from their heads.

Who was he?

---

This battle was hopeless.

It was what they thought at that moment.

Every lizardman knew that their battle would end with their death, yet Gabil, even if he was incompetent and often got ahead of himself, was still the competent leader. It was also because of him that everyone still stood up until now. Because of him, everyone fought bravely against the orcs, even if they were going to die.

"Stand up! Don't give up! Even if you lose, then take one of them! Show pride as the lizardmen!"

"YES, GABIL-SAMA!"

Like how Gabil fought bravely against all of them, all of them also followed him and fought bravely.

Yet, the spirit alone was useless.

If their opponents were only mere orcs, then they might be able to do something, but that wasn't the case.

Unlike the other orcs, the squad of orcs clad in black armor was strong. All of them were full plate armor. Their strength might not be much different from a normal orc, but the difference in their equipment changes everything.

Yet, all of them were commanded by a single orc.

Carrying an aura of strength around him, he was clearly a world above the common orcs.

Orc General.

Possessing the strength of an entire army, the Orc Army General and following him were 2,500 orc knights.

There are five such individuals. Their power may be ranked as B+.

A fourth of the Orc Lord's true army had moved.

"It's over.

That power could decide the battle right there.

Escape is impossible. Their only choice is to fall into battle...

"I wanted to be cut down by a warrior, at least," Gabil thought. "Guwahahaha, you cowardly general of swine! Do you have the courage to meet me alone in the battle?"

Gabil cried loudly.

He couldn't win. His armor was in pieces.

Moreover, it seems like his opponents' armor was strengthened with magic.

If he accepted this request, Gabil could die like a warrior. If it went well, perhaps he could take out a single general. Such were his thoughts.

"Gugugu. Very well. I'll be your opponent."

Responding thus, the orc general jumped down from his horse.

The surrounding clashes froze, swallowed by his aura. Further away, the fighting continued, but it didn't reach Gabil's ears.

"I am grateful!"

The rest was a silent duel.

Gabil readied the Magic Weapon: Water Vortex Spear.

"Come!"

The Orc General beloved, and at the same time, "Die!!! Water Vortex Style, Tornado Crush!"

Gabil released an attack filled with all his might. Combining spear technique and magical energy, a certain kill technique. This attack was filled with all the strength Gabil had. However, "Chaos Eater!"

Pointing his spear at Gabil, the Orc General devoured the vortex itself.

But that's not all; the spear also began emitting an aura. An ominous yellow aura attacked Gabil's very flesh.

"It seeks to eat me!" Stumbling and failing, Gabil realized. However, the aura would not let him escape.

"Guguguga! Pitiful lizard. Rolling in dirt suits you!"

Gabil was laughed at by the Orc General.

But he wouldn't give up. If only... if only he could land a single hit.

Picking up some dirt, he flung it at the orc. Call it cowardice, but Gabil desired the chance to cut him down!

However, that attack, too, was in vain, as the yellow aura quickly devoured it.

Gabil felt the attack's direction at him.

He was desperate to evade that aura but knew not how.

This far, huh...

Gabil thought and closed his eyes while praying that his comrades would be okay as he would be leaving them for the afterlife.

In that silent moment, suddenly, a panicked voice was heard.

"D-Don't get close!"

"NOOOOO!!!"

"AGGGHHH, I BEG FOR YOUR MERCY!"

The cries of despair sounded on the side of the battlefield.

Gabil, who was waiting for his death, quickly opened his eyes as he thought his comrades were killed, yet that didn't seem to be the case.

All the orcs showed horror expressions. Those whose expressions had been closed by the [Starved Ones] and could only think of ever thinking to satiate their hunger showed their despair in front of this opponent.

Similarly, Gabil was the same, yet for him, who was saved, it felt like he had seen a God.

Yes, a God.

As his long white hair swayed, his blade took down a number of orcs, bringing them down to the afterlife.

Without even glancing at those who died, he continued and kept killing all the swine that he could see.

Everything.

All of them were killed.

Even the effect of the [Starved Ones] was unable to erase the terror that they could feel from this being.

Amidst the nightmare for the orcs, Gabil was mesmerized and thought that this might be the punishment sent by heaven for the orcs.
