The green tide was slowly starting to rouse, with few of orcs from the mob taking lead and charging at the cloaked man and the now enemy orcs. And while there were more than one and a half thousand orcs remaining, they were all low B and C class entities. Nothing a proper grind session cannot deal with. The only annoyance was the need to protect his newly aquired slaves once they start to exaust themselves, but even that was managable. Just a bit of thinking had to be involved, and luckaly, Rex had started working on a solution the second he noticed the changes.
"What is happening to them?" Val asked seeing the change in the remaining camp, some of the orcs even charging at them with full on rage and frenzy, and those were instantly split in half by the blade of her master.
"Since they lost a ll of their high class leadership, it seems they are sucumbing to the law of the dungeon." Rex responded "At least i will not have to chase them. Lucky me."
"I will prepare the field for battle. you three are to stay behind and kill the attacking orcs if they reach us. Do not leave the defensive formation."
As soon as Val wanted to ask what formation, chains shot out from Rex extending, piercing the ground and making a makeshitf web, that soon was covered again and again ubtill only walls were seen- made out of the mana chains. And there was only a single entrance, in front of which stood Rex, ready to murder any and all adversaries.
"Come you walking morsels of exp and recovery, daddy needs to top up his status!" Rex shouted with exitement, and called upon the remaining two chains, the rest tied up in the making of the walls "Crystal go wild but dont get hurt, and retreat when neccesary to recover!" he also shouted his order for the panther, since he had no desires to see the cat hurt too badly or worse. And then the green tide came to life fully, charging at the postion of Rex, primal fury in thir eyes. Only one side would survive the night to tell the tale. As the orcs closed in Rex dashed forward a few steps and used his greatsowrds, weildign one in each hadn to deliver a whirlwhind of blood gore and death. Orc bodies fell one after another, cut extremities flying around and unending wails of pain echoed in the air. What was happening right now could be called as nothing more or less than slaughter, and what made matters whorse- besides the spilled blood no bodies were remaining to prove the carnage that was taking place. Rex was using his two free mana chains to a full effect, draining and scattering the remaining dust with the wind, keeping the place of combat relatively clean of corpses and death. The only proof of the slain was the waried extremities and the huge pool of blood that almost formed rivers.
And while Rex found it somewhat akward and unwieldy his absolute advantage over the orcs in both power and speed allowed him to ignore his deficiencies in his sword mastery. The symphony that he created was most likely and unreasonably brutal and vomit inducing sight for ordinary people but but Val and Mel watched on with awe. Rex, wielding two champion greatswords, was slashing through drowes of incoming orcs. Each of his swing taking with it multiple lives. Most died instantly, being cut cleanly in half around at the navel. The sheer efficiency and brutality of the man was impressive. Not a single hole in his defended area to be found and penetrated to reach the trio in the back, as such the orc instinct drove them to drown him with numbers- exaustion would eventually take over, and then all the previous sacrifices could bring an ultimate victory.
Rex, fully recovered by now, with all the draining he had performed, had a bright smile on his face as he was mowing down his enemies left and right. This fight was not about growing much stronger, as he barely felt a thing after each drain, but there was some progress, even if minuscule. Every ocean is made out of droplets after all, so even if they made almost no difference seperatly, at the end of it all he will have grown stronger nonetheless. And so the whirlwind of blades and blood, and mana chains kept on going for a few hours, with the green tide rushing towards him growing smaller and smaller, leaving only piles of crude weapons and clothing behind, that was thrown around to free the immediate surroundings of Rex, so more orcs could reach his position and welcome their deaths.
The three behind him were frozen in shock. From how he took down the first champion it was clear he was powerfull physically, but what he displayed was a different level alltogether. far stronger than any beast they had ever seen, much faster than the most agile of the lizardmen, and and endless stamina. Not to mention the chains that he controlled, that seemed to have a mind of their own. Shattering the bones of any orc that was slammed into by those, at times becoming ethereal and sliding through piles or weapons and armor to reach another fallen orc, only to then disintegrate those bodies, retracting and with pully physical state crushing the next targets, repeating the previous action.
That was no man in front of them. A monster of untold proportions, and the question rose in their heads- could the kings of orcs even stand against it? They still had no idea where the beast companion of his was, as during the slaughter in the champions arena, as the orcs called the field that they had met Rex, the beast had not appeared even once in their field of vision. To their credit, it was nighttime and with the frenzy that had overcome the settlement light was not a major concern for the ever incoming green tide, so most of the camp had been overcome by darkness.
Four hours into the slaughter a river of blood had developed at the champions arena, flowing away to the lower part of the settlement, and upon noticing adn calculating for a bit, since the orc warriors were mostly slaughtered and now the weaker members of the camp were attacking, Rex asked a question to his servants
"What part of the camp is in the direction of the flow of blood?" and looking at at the river it was Mel who answered
"Animal pens, for the domesticated beasts we are hauling with us, since we cant entirely support such numbers with only hunting and gathering." Such roaming tribes with few thousand members would find a suitable location, settle for a few years, then scout, raid and slowly deplete the consumable recourses of an area, and once there was no more fighting in quite some distance, they would uproot the camp advance further.
With almost nothing left around to fight, the three slaves finaly saw his companion, and the sight wsa no less terrifying once the beast aproached, chewing on an arm that once belonged to an orc.
"Crystal spit it out!" Rex calmly spoke as he recalled the chains that were protecting his new slaves "If you want meat I have plenty with me from the deeper floors." and the giant panter, heavily covered in the blood of countless orc, spit out the arm and in a few jumps was next to Rex, who then witdrew a solid slab, dozen killos in weight, and gave to the buss sized cat, who happily chomped it and was devouring it shortly.
"Lets go and collect the valuables, that the camp had amassed." Rex walked up to valkirie and oracle and spoke while once again enjoying the softness of Mel's breasts. Crystal, with the half eaten slab of meat followed them as they started to move in the dirrection of the tribes treasury. While not overly attached to shiny things, they still collected gems and all kinds of metals for both ornaments, gifts to the powerfull orcs of much larger tribes, or metals for forging weapons. They sometimes came upon metals that while they couldnt utilize right now, they would gring along, hoping that one day they would fidn a way to smelt them and create ever better weapons.
Stolen novel; please report.
With the size of the tribe, there was quite a bit of treasures for rex to grab from the vault, and he emptied it all out, since there was no tribe any longer and the raiding and hunting parties would leave most of this as it was, since they would not have the capacity to move it. Besides Rex had just murdered a shit ton of orcs, adn he deserved some solid loot, since their weapons was not that. Spending almost an hour cleaing out the vault, they preceeded to go through the camp to chech if Rex run in something else thats noteworty, since night would still last for a few hours. Unfortunately for Rex there was nothing that particularily caught his fancy, and so, with the dawn of day, they left the camp.
They traveld for a few hours untill they came upon a small river, that Rex used as a spot to rest. Crystal was quite the bloody mess with all the goo she had smeared all over herself, and so Rex ordered Val and Mel to wash the panter properly and have a bit of sleep. Crystal had fought for as long as Rex as well, but unlike him, she had no chat ability to restore ones stamina nonstop while killing ones enemies. And with a quickly roasted meat for Rex, the girls and the new champion, and another big piece of meat for Crystal, they stayed and rested for a few hours. The orcs did noticed the incredible taste and the raw energy that coursed through their bodies, and once informed that the meat came from deeper floor monsters they enjoyed it in silence. The orc society was well aware of teh existance of both deeper and and upper floors. They didnt travel to the upper floors because it had weaker mana in the air, and less food to hunt for, and they couldnt go deeper because there was insane change in the danger levels of the dungeon. Most simple beast were as strong as a champion, and they roamed in packs. Such danger was not worth the possible rewards. It also explained Rex power, since he seemed to be hunting in there, and the panter couldnt have come from anywhere else, the orcs reasoned. It was just that powerfull.
After the orcs and Crystal had slept for a few hours, Rex woke them up, and instructed Crystal to navigate them to either the closest Return tori, if she can sense one, or bring them back to floor thirty, and then find the return gate there, since she knew her way around that floor, and she could find it backtracking Rex movements. At least their movement was quite fast since with the size of Crystal and Rex's mana chains that could easily keep four individuals from falling from the back of the panther, they could move with a lot of speed.
Shortly before nightfall Rex encountered something he rarely did this deep- another adventurer party. A group of ten people. Rex had wery little interest interacting with them, adn he wanted to get home as soon as posible, so he had Crystal aproach them, stopping some fourty meters away, and it was clear that the party was in a lot of fear prepeared to fight, but hoping that their readiness would discourage the enormous beast from attacking.
"I have no interest in killing your party, so if you coudl dirrect me to the closest Return tori you are aware of, we will be on our way." Rex spoke loudly enough for the party to hear him, and while the knowledge of the monster being tamed eased their expressions a bit, they remained quite wary and prepeared for battle. Then one of them stepped a bit forward, fully ready for battle and spoke signaling a dirrection with his hand
"We know of one in that dirrection, should take less than a day to arrive. See those mountains in the distance?" the man asked, and Rex focused a bit in the dirrection of his hand
"There, at the foot of the mountain is a lake, and the gate is on a small island that connected to the shore with a slamm strip of land."
Rex nodeed "We apreciate the assistance, and will share some info as well as thanks" Rex then pointed in the dirrection the the orc camp he had exterminated and continiued
"In that dirrection, some five hours in our speed, so i would recon it would take you days is an orc settlement, and while now its devoid of inhabitants, their raiding patries will return within a month. Adn while its vault is now empty, most of the remaining settlement is untouched, if you want to try your luck there. have a fortuitous hunt." and with that rex signaled to his panther adn they moved in the dirrection they were provided with.
One Rex was far enough, and the party scout had ensured that he left, they slumped on the ground, sighing in relief
"Man, I almost pissed my pants. That cat looked scary." A petite looking girl spoke, trembling at the memory of those giant eyes.
"Did you saw the orcs with him?" The scout asked "There was a mage one and a valkirie. The male was a champion. The guy who spoke had with him the leadership of a small settlement, plus mines a few champions."
"Think he wiped out and entire tribe?" the dwarf in heavy plate armour asked, doubt in his eyes, and the another member responded
"I felt insane amount of mana from him. Must be a mage of some sort. Top of the A class, maybee even S. Then it would make sense. Some sort of AOE spell that destroyed most of the chaff, and the beast fucked up the chapions nd the rest, then slavery shackles of highest quality to chain them. A few expensive healing potions and voila. All fresh and ready for market. besides we all have heard the rumors of a blood mage appearing in Blythe. Think he couldnt get a branding or two if he offers one of those as a gift?"
The party fell silent after that, and continiued on their way. Rex, totaly unaware of their conversation and speculations was on his way home. It took them s few hours, as it turns out, giant panther express was quite a lot faster than human, or ork, walking speed. Then they found the gate rather soon afterwards, and left the dungeon in the middle of the night. Once again, the guild people near the dungeon entrance almost shat their pants when Crystal came out, but unlike the last time, since all movement was dependany on the black panther, they arrived home without causing much ruckus. Who woould have though that an ambush animal was so good at sneaking and avoiding being noticed.
Once home, Crystal was brought over to Tigra, and was ordered to protect the household just like the tigress, and once Rex unloaded the meat in the cold storages he brought his new slaves to servants quarters, where he left the champion, and then with both Val and Mel returned to the main building. There he prepeared a bath and pulled both new girls in there to wash away both the fatigue of the grind and apreciate the goods both were packing.
Now that he could evaluate both women without the baggy robes and the armor hiding most of their bodies, Rex concluded that they both are quite hot. Val was tall, even taller than Rex, her light brown skin remainded him of superbly tanned ladies from his old world. Her dark hair, tied in a singe braid, accentuated her slim and toned body. A few cuts on her hands or legs proved her time spent training and fighting others, and enhanced her, giving her a wild charm. Solid C cup breasts, long, slender legs, and bountifull ass that just begged to be squeezed.
Mel, was quite the contarst to Val. Around one point seven meters tall, light green skin tone like most orcs encountered in this dungeon and light brown shoulder lenght hair. Unlike the tall, slender, toned and quite well trained body of Val, Mel had slighty plump body, with all the right curves and Nice and ample D sized bust with large areolas and inverted nipples. Those babies were practicly begging to be squeezed and sucked. With the week spent away from Irina and his ever evolving body, he new he needed to fuck some pussy. And while Irina will no doubt be milking him dry later in the morning, his body was way too much for one girl to handle. Irina was always out and happily sleeping in his arms after a few hours of intense session, but he could keep going on. And he was always sure that he would have a harem here, so the next few hours he spent in the bath with the two girls. Innitially geting nice and proper body cleaning, and then he indulged in his wordly desires.
The almost nightly sessions with Irina had helped him figure out a few things that seemed unique to orc ladies, so it didnt take him long to have both Val and Mel sopping wet and in quite the heat. And once he had them both nice and ready, he spent the rest of the night in quite the intense love making session with the two women enjoying the fruits of his had work.
