Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 183: True Demon Lord is born!

Watching all of his kind being killed, the Orc Lord had never thought that everything would become like this.

"No! No! Please don't! Please don't kill us! Please stop!"

The Orc Lord tried to chase after him, but his figure was too fast. Even if he had become stronger, the gap between him and that person was too wide. In his mind, it was already impossible for him to stop that person.

By now, he was swallowed by regret.

Even if his mind was corroded by the [Starved Ones] and he was unable to wake up, when he saw everyone was killed, his will became stronger, and his consciousness also woke up.

Yet, this was far from enough!

He was still so weak!

Like before, he was unable to do anything as he could only see everyone dying through starvation.

That day... he still remembered it.

That hell-like day, even if he had become stronger, it was still inside his heart.

A withered earth where nothing could be eaten; a large tax from the Demon Lord; everyone was dying because of starvation; and cannibalism so everyone could live.

As the leader of all the orcs, he also didn't hesitate to give his arm so the children of the orcs could live and satiate their hunger.

Yet, he also had his limit.

In the end, as he passed that limit and was about to die, someone came and gave him power.

Gelmudo.

The one who had given him a name and also the one that made him into the Orc Lord.

"Orc Lord! Save me! Kill him! Don't let me die! I am your master! I am the one who has given you a name! Use your life to protect me!"

He looked at the demon who cried pathetically below him. This demon didn't have his previous dignity, and he was like any of them who could only cry in despair, facing the doom that was about to engulf them. Yet, he also didn't blame him as he felt the same.

He had gained the power to dominate this world, yet he realized how arrogant he was, and in the end, he invited a punishment for his kind.

Was extermination their only fate?

Once again, he lamented how weak he was as he could not do anything.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING, ORC LORD!"

Unlike the Orc Lord and the rest of the Orcs, that had almost given up, Gelmudo didn't want to die!

There was no way the great Gelmudo was going to this place!

He was going to stand even higher!

He was going to stand side by side with the Demon Lord!

He didn't want to die!

It was impossible for him to die!

Yet, Orc Lord answered nothing, and he just stood in a place, unable to do anything.

"YOU STUPID PIG!"

Gelmudo scolded, but suddenly his face was full of fear. "Hiii...! Don't get too close! Get away from me!" He tried to run away once again, but suddenly his legs were cut.

"ARRGGGGHHHH!!!! MY LEGS! MY LEGS!"

Gelmudo cried as he looked at his bloody disabled legs. He had lost his wings, but now, he had lost his legs.

How could he run away?!

"Do-Don't kill"

However, his face was stomped by Tamazuki on the ground.

"Agawahgahg!"

Gelmudo's face was submerged in the water, and he tried his best to catch air as he didn't want to drown.

Meanwhile, Tamazuki stood in front of the Orc Lord, who didn't do anything and just stood in a daze as he faced him.

Yet, how could the Orc Lord not show such a reaction?

The one in front of him was the symbol of terror.

Just standing so near caused his body to tremble with fear.

He knew that he had angered him, but he hoped at least Tamazuki would let go of his kindreds.

Yet suddenly...

"Death March Dance!"

In that moment of desperation, Gelmudo used his strongest technique at the point blank at Tamazuki.

Several magic bullets were shot in every direction and landed on Tamazuki.

*BOOM!* *BOOOM! *BOOOM!*

The sound of explosions revealed through space.

"TAMAZUKI-SAMA!"

While Shion, Shizu, and the rest were worried and quickly moved toward him, the orcs somehow gained hope. They thought that this nightmare had ended, but only the Orc Lord knew.

"Abubububuahgh!"

Gelmudo screamed once again as his hands were cut, but as he opened his mouth, water entered his mouth and made him in an even more unbearable situation.

Still, when the dust disappeared, Tamazuki's figure was seen once again.

Unscathed.

Not even his clothes were damaged because of that attack.

It did nothing.

"...no way."

By now, all of the orcs had fallen on the ground, giving up any resistance since they knew everything was meaningless now.

Despair was all one could see on their faces.

They were angered by something that they shouldn't have done, and this was their punishment.

It was their karma for their sins.

"I... I beg of you. Let go of them. I hope that my death can quell your anger. Please forgive us."

The Orc Lord, the symbol of disaster, begged as he groveled on the dirty ground. He didn't care about his life but the lives of others; he wanted them to stay alive. It was a selfish request, yet this was his only wish.

As long as they weren't killed, he could do anything.

Losing his life was cheap.

Yet...

"Stand up."

"...."

"I won't repeat myself."

While his heart was heavy, the Orc Lord stood up tremblingly in fear. He didn't dare to meet Tamazuki's eyes and could only lower his head, but...

"Eat this."

Tamazuki kicked Gelmudo to him and said those words.

"....."

"Become a Demon Lord and fight me."

Those words... what did he mean?

Did Tamazuki want to fight him to death?

Or was Tamazuki asking him to die as a warrior?

Orc Lord knew that he wasn't smart, but for one thing, he knew he didn't have a choice.

"No! No! I am your master! The Orc Lord, don't listen to"

There was no hesitation.

Gelmudo was eaten by the Orc Lord.

At that moment, only the disgusting sound of flesh and bones being devoured was heard.

Everyone was silent as they saw the Orc Lord eat Gelmudo without missing anything. Everything was eaten: the body, hands, legs, or wings.

Then, Orc Lord started his evolution and released an aura that could not be compared with his past self.

<Confirmed. The Orc Lord's Magical energy has greatly increased.

Evolving into a Demon Lord... success.

Individual: Orc Lord has evolved into Demon Lord Orc Disaster>

"Fuhaaaa! I am the Demon Lord Orc Disaster. The Devourer of the World! Call me Demon Lord Gelmudo!! Honor is given to my first prey!"

Demon Lord Gelmudo roared, showing his courage and pride as the newly born Demon Lord, yet his eyes were crying since he knew it couldn't change the fates of his kindreds.

Then, as he finished those words, he charged toward Tamazuki with all of his might, bringing a tremendous roar and pressure to the surroundings.

"RAAAAAAAAA!!!"

No one closed their eyes, and they watched Demon Lord Orc Disaster's duel with Tamazuki.

However, as he approached Tamazuki, his eyes widened before his head slid down and fell to the ground, beheaded cleanly from his body.

Everyone closed their eyes and had expected this result.

The newly born Demon Lord died a few moments after his birth.

Tamazuki cut down this Demon Lord easily, and in that moment...

<Notification. The necessary nourishment for the requirement of evolution had been confirmed.

Recognized.

The requirements have been met. From now on, the Harvest Festival will begin>

The Voice of the World resounds in his mind.

Without his permission, his body began to transform and change by itself.

A wave of sleepiness also struck him.

'Shizu, Uncle, Shion, protect me.'

Using his telepathy for the last time, he knew he was successful. He wasn't someone who called himself a Demon Lord but one who turned himself into a True Demon Lord.

"Tamazuki!"

'Oh, by the way, don't forget and eat the Orc Disaster, Uncle.'

Leaving those words, he fell asleep, and on this day, a new Demon Lord was born.
