Orc Lord-"My name is Geld."
Orc Lord-"From this day on. I will be feared as Orc Disaster Geld."
The orcs behind him didn't kneel out of respect as I expected. They were shivering in fear. Hmmm, very interesting.
"Welp let's not waste time, I'm going in."
"YABADABADOO!"
I shouted as I rushed at him. I weaved his every strike and was slowly cutting him. Though the cuts were pretty shallow, which irritated me greatly.
Shion-"Don't worry master Rimuru. I am useful too!"
Shion then also rushed at Geld. She even managed to cut off Geld's hand with her massive sword.
Shion-"See master Rimuru?"
Shion-"I am also a master swordsman."
While she was boasting she failed to notice that the hand she cut off regenerated almost instantly. And it was about to crush her.
"Shion!"
"Behind you!"
I rushed towards Shion and managed to push her out of the way in time. However, a sharp pain crashed into me.
Everything hurt, I felt like I was being run over by a 20-ton truck.
"AAAAAARGH!"
Hakuro-"Let go of my Lady."
Hakuro then appeared behind the Orc Lord and cut his head off. This allowed me to free myself from his grip.
I quickly made a distance between myself and the Orc Lord. He attached his head back to himself by some sort of regeneration.
I was still very much shaken by the previous experience. But I would still be able to fight, once I catch my breath that is.
Hakuro-"He can still move freely after being decapitated?!"
Geld-"What a delicious-looking meal."
He said while looking at me.
Geld-"Hm...I'm hungry."
He tried to move, only to find himself being wrapped up in Soeis threads.
Soei-"Sorry, but I won't let you touch my Lady."
Soei-"Thread manipulation."
He then wrapped Geld in a cocoon of threads.
Soei-"Now there's nowhere to run."
Geld-"Nu..."
Benimaru-"If you're so hungry then why don't you eat this?"
He then casted hellfire on the cocoon.
Benimaru-"Ranga!"
Benimaru-"Attack the moment hellfire disappears."
Ranga-"!"
Ranga-"Understood."
The hellfire dispersed and Ranga instantly blasted it with black lightning. A huge cloud of smoke appeared.
-"Out of magical power, Ranga?"
He asked the clearly tired Ranga.
Ranga-"Hah...I am sorry."
-"Rest in my shadow."
-"Ill wake you up later."
Ranga-"I am..."
Ranga-"...sorry."
Out of the smoke. Geld appeared, devouring his own hand. That's one tough motherfucker right there.
-"But why is that guy eating his own arm?"
{Great sage}-"Answer: Orc disaster is in possession of the skill {Self regeneration}."
{Great sage}-"The unnatural rate of regeneration is a result of the combination with the skill {Hunger}."
Geld then finished his hand and turned behind himself. He then picked up a random orc. The orc screamed in both fear and pain. He then completely devoured the orc.
He then regenerated the rest of his scarred body.
Hakuro-"What regenerative power."
Hakuro-"We can't hope to defeat it unless we kill it instantly, huh."
Soei-"But with our current abilities, we aren't able to deal the decisive blow."
Soei-"At this rate, well eventually run out of stamina."
Soei-"It's our defeat."
Geld-"It is not enough...I need more."
Geld-"Let me eat more!"
Benimaru-"Well, I'm beat did he just make a complete recovery?"
-"Benimaru can you hear me?"
Benimaru-"Master Rimuru..."
He then noticed me and Rimuru standing in front of Geld.
Shion-"Lord Rimuru!"
Shion-"Just when did they move in..."
Benimaru-"Shion wait."
Shion-"please get out of the way!"
Shion-"I have to protect Lord Rimuru!"
Benimaru-"It's fine, calm down."
Benimaru-"If our support was needed, we would b have been notified by telepathy."
Benimaru-"And the orders I received from Lord Rimuru were..."
Benimaru-"...We will take it from here."
...
Geld-"...huge fanged wolf."
Geld-"There should be 6 delicious courses."
Geld-"Where did that fanged wolf go?"
-"You mean Ranga?"
-"He's in my shadow."
Geld-"...you ate him?"
-"Certainly not. I would eat m comrades without a reason."
-"I'm not sure about you thought."
Geld was about to grab Rimuru, but he easily dodged.
-"Hup."
-"Are you mad?"
-"That's slightly unexpected. And I thought all you thought about was eating."
Geld swung at both me and Rimuru a few more times. We were able to easily dodge.
Rimuru then decided to throw away his mask. I gave him mine as well.
To finish this guy. I will have to use my vision to the fullest.
-"Shion, hold onto these masks for me."
-"Its very important."
He said as he threw the masks at her.
Shion-"Eh?"
Shion-"Ah, okay?"
Geld-"...boring your petty existence matches your appearance."
He started casting some sort of magic.
Geld-"{Deathmarch dance}!"
-"Yon, I will distract him. Cut his soul to shreds."
"Understood."
-"It's your turn partner."
When the magic landed. We were both nowhere to be seen.
Geld-"...dead already?"
Then Geld's arm flew off. Black flames coated the wound, which stopped it from regenerating.
-"Done."
{Great sage}-"{Great sage}s control over bodily functions confirmed."
{Great sage}-"Transition to {Auto battle mode} complete."
