Chapter Title: Royal Road Hero Tale (25)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Righteous hero that he was, Siwoo was furious with the orcs and charged at them, yelling emotionally unlike his usual self.
The orcs, who had been rowdily enjoying their festival, laughed at Siwoo rushing in alone, but as their comrades started dropping one by one, their laughter quickly faded.
The orcs finally snapped out of it and faced Siwoo seriously, but they stood no chance against him without proper armament.
"Sopi, now!"
"Got it!"
As Siwoo drew their attention according to plan, Sopi and I slipped around to the other side and entered the tent where the women were being assaulted.
And we witnessed a truly horrific sight.
"Hiiik... Hii, hihihi... Hik, hek."
"Aaaah, heuk, heu, ha... Hihehe."
This place was a orgy pit for breeding.
The orcs treated the women like livestock, and those who couldn't resist were losing their minds to the orcs' massive cocks as they were raped.
It was hard to find anyone still in their right mind after being pounded so relentlessly; most of the women were drooling and making beastly noises.
Some even had bulging bellies, likely already pregnant, but the orcs didn't care and thrust mercilessly anyway.
"What the fuck is this..."
But up to that point, it was what we'd expected.
Women suckling baby orcs,
women submitting to cocks and even enjoying the rape,
and some who seemed to genuinely love the orcs—
it was gruesome, but plausible enough.
But why...
"They're so pitiful... Let's rescue them quick!"
-Kyiiiik?
-Kyiwik! Kyiiiik!
"Oppa?"
"Ah, yeah. Got it."
Why are they all like that?
It felt like an assault on my eyes. This is gonna stick in my head for a while...
The sight of women easily twice my body weight, stripped naked and being raped by orcs, was too shocking for me to handle.
-Kyiiiik! Kyuk! Kkiiik!
-Kyiik! Kyiiii!
Ah, right. Time to kill you bastards and vent.
We managed to rescue all the women safely.
Or... could you even call it safe?
So many were mentally broken, and some even sobbed genuinely over the slaughtered orcs. They all seemed far from living normal lives again.
Pitying them, Sophia tried her heel and purification skills, but sadly, they didn't work. It looked like we needed different skills for mental damage.
Fortunately, a few women were still holding onto their sanity, so with their help, we evacuated everyone to safety.
"Oppa, I'll stay here and guard them!"
"You know to call if it's dangerous, right? Remember the shield spell."
"Ahaha! Don't worry. You bought it for me, oppa! So go help without fretting!"
Sophia decided to stay behind, reassuring the women and helping them regain their senses until the guards arrived. As expected from a saintess. She's too kind.
I used observation to check each woman and confirmed no threats, then trusted Sophia and headed out to help Siwoo.
"Hoo... Those orc bastards are total psychos."
Shocking fact.
Orcs like fat women.
Even more shocking fact.
Orcs force-feed kidnapped women to fatten them up to their taste.
So the women in the tents had been force-fed into pigs,
and only then did the satisfied orcs rape them.
"I respect tastes, but forcing it on people? You crazy fucks!"
Apparently, this was common knowledge in this world—to the point where fat women get warned, "Watch out, or orcs'll kidnap you."
What a terrifying world. No wonder Sophia pitied them so deeply.
Wait, then what about the classic female knight vs. orc trope?
If the knight says, "Kuh, kill me," the orc doesn't rape her—it force-feeds her instead. Fuck... head's spinning.
-Kyiiiiieek!
-Kyi... Kyieeeek!
Oh, back in the thick of it, and Siwoo's massacre was in full swing.
Siwoo was drenched in blood, slicing orcs apart, but without a scratch, it was clearly all orc blood.
Yeah, Siwoo. Don't leave a single one alive. Kill 'em all.
I couldn't forgive those orcs for showing us that horror either.
"Holding up okay?"
"Hyung! How'd it go?!"
"Rescued 'em all as planned. Sophia's guarding now."
"No, did you kill all those bastards?"
What? You're seriously into killing orcs too? We're on the same wavelength today.
I naturally sidled up beside Siwoo, who lit up and welcomed me.
But starting with "Did you kill them?" showed how pissed he really was.
This aggressive Siwoo felt off today, but way better than his usual pushover timidness. Good call beating the crap out of that kid.
"Killed every last one. How's it here?"
"Mostly cleaned up, but I sense a massive aura approaching from afar. Probably the orc horde's boss."
"Coming right to us? Perfect."
Not a hero for nothing. I feel plenty strong myself, but I couldn't detect the barrier or this aura. Damn talent hog.
But that's good. The stronger the hero, the better to leech off. Gotta keep raising him right.
"Then hide and catch your breath. I'll clean up till the boss shows."
"Thanks, hyung."
Thanks my ass. This is all XP.
The demoralized orcs Siwoo softened up held weapons but had zero fight left. Hunting them was like eating cake.
Yet they weren't fleeing even now. Does that mean the incoming boss scares them more than Siwoo's slaughter?
"Hyung! Careful!"
"What—argh!"
Lost in my XP feast while cutting down the last few orcs, Siwoo suddenly warned me. As I turned, wondering what, something slammed into me.
I instinctively raised my shield, but the impact sent me flying, tumbling several times before I regained my senses.
"What the fuck!"
It hurt. My shield arm was numb; the shock lingered in my body. Scrambling up, I felt the atmosphere shift.
The orcs' eyes, which had been utterly defeated, now gleamed with life, snarling like they were about to pounce.
Confused, I looked around as Siwoo stepped in front of me protectively, drawing his holy sword again.
"Hyung, fall back. Boss is here."
"Boss?"
Raising my head at his words, a figure several times larger than a normal orc appeared over the hill. I recognized it instantly.
"It's an orc shaman!"
Now it clicked. He'd made the barrier.
Made sense if the orcs were trapped inside; a boss shaman fit perfectly.
But shamans are that buff? The muscular brute held a massive crystal orb, glaring at us.
-Kwaang!
-Kyeeeeeeek!
-Kyi, kiik...
"Crazy...!"
Magic poured from the orb at speeds too fast to track visually.
Luckily, it missed us and hit the few remaining orcs, but their twisted corpses hinted at the power.
This... energy bolt spell? The attack I barely blocked earlier was probably it too, and the shock hasn't faded. Tough opponent.
No, this isn't shaman level—it's straight-up orc mage.
Orcs have mages...? Tough world difficulty.
"Hey! Can you win?!"
"Don't worry!"
But we've got a powerhouse too. Go get 'em, Siwoo!
Siwoo calmly dodged the attacks while closing in. Fast and powerful or not, misses are misses. Low-accuracy magic couldn't tag the nimble Siwoo.
"Hraaaah!"
-Kyiiiik!
Damn, shallow hit.
Unfortunately, Siwoo had a weakness. He could close in while evading, but his current holy sword struggled to land solid hits on such a huge target. Needed something claymore-sized, like against that modded goblin.
But that'd slow him down. Knowing it, Siwoo stuck to his sword without rash changes.
-Kyiik!
-KyeEEEk!
-Kyiii... igigik!
Surprisingly, it was enough.
Siwoo overwhelmed without taking a single hit, slowly choking the boss out. It died without real resistance. Siwoo's win was certain.
Post-beating Siwoo is unstoppable now.
-Kyiiiiiiiiieeeeeek!
But bosses are bosses.
It didn't go down easy.
The boss bellowed and retreated, raising the orb high. Darkness fell instantly, black clouds crackling overhead.
"Hey, be care—"
Before I could finish warning about the obviously dangerous spell, lightning struck Siwoo in a blink.
A wide-range blast right on his position—impossible to dodge.
"...No way?"
But Siwoo,
didn't change expression, calmly blocking it.
The boss, terrified, dropped the orb.
"He... cut the lightning?"
