Why level up in isekai, when you can hack your way through

Chapter 14 - The One Pulling Strings

[At Red Orcs Village]

The whole village truly had turned red with the blood of demons splashing all over.

The Knights of the Shadow legions were so strong the Blue Lizards when astounded as they focused on their job of rescuing the hostages.

Slash... slash... fwish... slash... whoosh...

The only thing that could be heard there was the swift noise of the steel Knight's blade and the screams of demons... getting slaughtered.

...

One of the demons who was lying on the ground had a little bit of strength as clenched Nuzma'h's foot and said,

"This... won't end... well for you undeads... Muza'rn-sama will make all of you his slave..."

Nuzma'h quickly grabs him by the collar, and stares directly into his eyes as he says...

"Listen you failure! We already have a master! He's the one who stirred an ancient nest of hornets and made every hornet its slave... He made the so-called God of this Forest his pet. Your lord can't even graze him."

"I-imposible... Rogrendria... Even... Gud...z...a'r...n-sama cou...l..dn't..." were the last words of the demon as he died.

[Back at Demons' Hideout]

"Oi! Bottom feeder look here and tell me about Gudza'rn where is that piece of shit!" Belle said.

Gehrwin replied, "You think I would betray Muza'rn-sama for you fucking humans? Not in a million years! Your heroes can go to hell we've got an army and items that can even go against goddess Livenia."

"You bottom feeder, you really think you're in any position to have a way out? Your teleportation circle is already destroyed. Tell me about Gudza'rn right now!" Belle said.

Then Gehrwin replied, "I'm a captain, not a bottom feeder you arrogant bit– gets attacked by Kazuki.

Poof!

Gehrwin's jaw dropped...

MHMMMMMMMMM!!! The tears flow through as a river of blood starts to rain through his mouth.

"I told you I'd cut off your tongue if you repeated anything disrespectful towards my wife," I said.

And then one of the demons who had some courage left talk back,

"You pitiful humans think that you've won!? The experiment is already complete and the war is coming, Do you believe this farce will make us scared? The scouts will tell everything to Muza'rn-sama prepare for your deaths mortals."

(And that brings us to the third and final part of the plan, which Rogu's team will carry out. Since the demons are unaware that Rogu (Rogrendria) has awoken, we'll use the dryads to pinpoint the locations of those spies blending into the environment but we'll leave one alive. You all might wonder why, but the reason is simple, we don't want to draw unnecessary attention. If all the demons were to vanish, it would raise suspicions. They might start investigating further, especially after sightings of the undead. I don't want their eyes on us, and Rogu certainly doesn't want the world to know he's awake. So, we'll unleash the blaze foxes to hunt down the spies and let them feel the wrath of Rogrendria upon them, without revealing that he has awoken. Let them believe that Rogu is simply a force of nature, always watching, ready to punish the wrongdoers.)

[Outside of Forest of Rogrendria]

As the demons hiding within watched over the forest, they were suddenly thrown out as if the earth itself had vomited them up.

Roots from below began to ensnare their bodies, draining their life energy while the blaze foxes swiftly ambushed them.

The demons' reaction was shocking as they stood watching the foxes perform a ritualistic dance around them as if it were a sign to honor Rogrendria's will. They wanted it let the demon know that their attack was no random ambush, that it was a command by the force of nature punishing the intruders.

With lethal precision, the blaze foxes tore into the demons, feasting on their flesh, leaving only one alive.

And that lone survivor flew away with the horror he got to witness.

[Back Again at Demons' Hideout]

As Gehrwin suffers in painful agony, a demon stands up to threaten us... but little did he know he only pushed Isabelle's anger even further.

And so she replies, "You lot are a useless bunch, you think that scares me? The ones who should be scared are you, Muza'rn, and Gudza'rn because what comes for them next is death."

"And it starts with yours."

She starts charging a massive blast of energy in midair causing the whole ground to shake violently.

FUCK! She's gonna wipe out their entire hideout, I don't think she's in the right mind, hearing those names must upset her but... there are red orcs too I can't let them get hurt.

Swish... blink...

"Isabelle calm down!" I told her.

She replied, "No Kazuki I'm going to kill them all."

I responded saying, "What do you mean by kill them all weren't you all excited about starting a new life? Letting me carry your burdens? Get a hold of yourself."

"But.. But.. But.. you don't understand..." she said as the radius of the energy got larger.

(I guess it's do or die...)

Fwhoosh!

And so I blinked right in front of her and gave her a hug while canceling the blast with "Devour".

"Kazuki...!"

"I told you... I'll carry your burdens... there's no need to scratch old wounds. Let me take care of them for you." I said to her right close.

"Okay..." she said with teary eyes.

Then I opened a dark circle from my back, opening the gate of the "Soul Repository" as I let Kaiser out.

And I only gave him one command... Rip and tear all the demons apart.

As the demons in shock realized they whispered to themselves, "He's the undead's master... he's the Necromancer."

Whoooooooop!

[Twenty Minutes Later]

Well, that takes care of them.

Hmm... I guess I'll harvest their souls... for now...

Conjure!

Thus the end to all of Forest's troubles came to an end.
