Praise the Orc! Chapter 47:
Chapter 47 – A FIRE IN THE SKY (2)
The dead rose and struck the users . Higashi cut at the people coming towards him, but they just rose up again and stretched out **** hands to him . Higashi freaked out and sliced apart their bodies .
He looked around . The clan members were also lost due to this bizarre sight . They slaughtered the dead for a second time . Cutting them in the abdomen didn’t kill them . Instead, they kept staring with resentful eyes as they used their broken bones as their weapons .
It was a hell-like pandemonium .
Higashi looked at the man who was the source of all this . The middle-aged man, the necromancer named Iron . A black haze extended from his body to dominate the battlefield . Higashi felt an instinctive fear towards him . Necromancy was a strength that could be called the antithesis of life .
But as the Yamato Clan’s vice-leader and ranker, he couldn’t back off . As the screams of his clan members were heard behind him, Higashi rushed to Iron . It was the typical attack using the sword and the shield!
But he overlooked that his opponent wasn’t a warrior .
The darkness slithered around his neck, as a cold chill went down his spine, surrounding him . Something was wrong .
Jjejeok .
He was thrown back as he heard a sound . The sky and ground turned upside down . Higashi couldn’t think . He tried to get up, but his eyes were ringing and he couldn’t find his center . He relied on his sword as his body staggered .
Iron stretched out hands towards him .
“Don’t resist . You will regret it . ”
It was a solemn declaration . And it was serious . If Higashi resisted any longer, then he would see terrible things .
Iron was the worst type of necromancer, the one with the presence of a demon . He contracted with an entity that should not be called unto the lands . This was why he hadn’t connected to Elder Lord for a while . He was different from the other necromancers, who only raised the dead .
He wasn’t a ranker, but he contracted with a powerful demon who could make even rankers kneel . There was a price for that great power, which was to pay compensation to the demon .
Demogorgon!
“Life to death, laughter to screaming . ”
Iron’s body soon escaped from his control . The lion of **** who borrowed his body opened his mouth, “There are so many of them . Those cursed by the stars, what a funny joke . ”
The demon occupying Iron’s body giggled . Iron’s body no longer followed his control . His mind was locked in his body and he felt all sensations without any filters . Even pain .
“It feels good to meet you again after a long wait, Contractor . ”
He scratched at Iron’s chest with his fingertips . The demon’s punishment . Iron swallowed down the pain . He had signed with a being that shouldn’t have existed in the game . People protested several times to Elder Lord Corporation, but they ignored it, saying it was an element of the game .
An evil demon that took away control from the user! Demogorgon told Iron, “You must’ve been doing well . ”
Iron inwardly cursed before replying, “Yes yes! That’s correct . Demogorgon! I wanted you to have peace! Hahat . ”
“Well, I guess you have been doing fine . ”
“It is all thanks to Demogorgon . I’ve been so busy, but I always thought about Demogorgon . Hahat! Now I feel like a fish in the water . ”
“As expected from my trusty contractor . Kukahahaha!”
“Were you expecting anything else? Kukaka!”
That’s right . It was one reason why Iron was able to deal with a high ranking demon . The worldly wisdom of a sales department manager!
He had the skill ‘Sales Force (Essence)!’ Thanks to this skill, Iron was able to deal with the demon . Even though there was a big side effect of losing control, the demon helped Iron out with great power .
“Yes, it has been a while, so I will listen to what my contractor wants . What is your reason for calling me? Do you want the advent of hell? Do you want to recreate souls by mixing together life and death?”
“Hah… Is such a thing possible? As always, Demogorgon’s strength and talent is something I can only admire . Hahahahat! But these people deserve more than that . I want them to never come to this place again . ”
“Kukakakaka! I see . Is that enough?”
“There is no need to use a knife to catch a mouse . Furthermore, Demogorgon isn’t a knife, but a dragon . No, they don’t deserve the final weapon that will destroy this world! They are unworthy of it . Please~ give this present to me! Yes!”
“Kukakakakaka!”
Demogorgon burst out laughing . How long had it been since he had a contractor who was such a good fit? Demogorgon smirked and looked at all the enemies in front of him .
On the other hand, horror gripped Higashi . The necromancer was mumbling to himself like he was crazy . Iron looked at Higashi . “You . ”
“……!”
“Do you know?”
Higashi raised his sword and shield as he asked, “What do you mean?”
“What comes without sound, tears apart your life, and isn’t reversible?”
A voice spoke in Higashi’s ears .
‘…Death . ’
Higashi freaked out and turned his body, but there was nothing there . He flinched back . The voice whispered in his ear again .
‘…The eternal sinking . ’
Higashi blocked his ears . He looked around . Iron couldn’t be seen . There was nobody . There were only the dead bodies and the corpses of the clan members on the floor .
‘…Do you want to know it?’
Something touched his spine . It was under his skin . The demon’s hand touched his skin, muscles, and nervous system . Higashi flopped down . He couldn’t breathe . The sky was in front of him . A dark curtain started to descend from the sky .
‘…I’m going to show you . ’
His vision became dark .

Raizen, master of the Napoleon Clan and ranker, couldn’t believe it .
Obviously, it was very easy . The four clans allied in order to decimate an unknown village . Once they trampled on the village and raised the level of their new clan members, they would create a base here to gain more wealth and power .
An easy and efficient operation . Everything had gone as planned . However, the existence of these guys wasn’t drawn in the nice blueprint .
“Warriors! Too cool! The best!” The elf female trembled and made a fuss .
“Hahaha . As expected of the warrior chosen by the great sage . ” A magician with a long beard nodded .
“I’m the only one without a great role . ” A man holding a sword shrugged at his colleagues’ remarks .
Then warrior Bob, the man who was being praised by everyone, lifted his shining sword . “My sword, X-Geiger is howling! For justice!”
Raizen now realized it .
These crazy guys . They were crazy role-playing lovers . He didn’t want to get involved with crazy people like this . But the problem was that the crazy people weren’t just joking around when it came to strength .
“That guy’s eyes! They are eyes steeped in evil!”
“We’ll must discipline them . ”
“The wise sage can see everything . ”
No, don’t come over you crazy people .
Raizen ran around . After the fight began, the front line started to be pushed back . The middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader worked hard to encourage the residents, but the clan gradually drove them back . The moment the clan was about to purge the villagers with powerful ranged magic…
All of a sudden, these people appeared and attacked . The warrior’s sword moved through all air, and all of the gathered magic power was scattered . A vacuum that drew in all the magic power in the area! They exhibited huge strength and instantly stopped the Napoleon Clan’s march .
An unexpected variable . However, it wasn’t impossible .
“Everybody gather here! Catch these guys!”
Raizen screamed and stepped back . The clan members recognized the instructions and flocked to his side . No matter how strong the opponents were, they were outnumbered .
The men and woman in the group of four were nervous . Raizen laughed . The group couldn’t deal with so many clan members .
It was at that moment . The villagers who didn’t know English soon realized that the group were allies and moved forward . Numerous residents stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the group .
Raizen’s face distorted again .
“We will fight together!” The villagers held farm equipment and rusty weapons . However, determination shone in their eyes . This was their village . They would protect it themselves .
The Napoleon Clan was stunned .
“How about it, didn’t we do well coming here?”
“Yes . ”
“The best stage . ”
The four roleplayers, F4, exchanged glances as they stood with the residents . It felt good . No, it was a good thing . The best .
It had been a long time . The four of them had created and destroyed worlds . They rolled the dice for a long time, but had felt empty .
They came here to the world of Elder Lord because they knew the reason why . Those who stood with them . Having companions stand next to them was required on adventures . It wasn’t a fiction that the master of the dice created, but a reality where their allies breathed, thought, cried, laughed, and felt anger . A party always needed some allies, and today, they were standing as heroes to the people who needed them .
Bob raised his sword .
“Now! My sword X-Geiger! My sword doesn’t drink water, nor alcohol, nor the blood of the enemy!”
“…Is this necessary?”
Elia whispered as Bob started talking nonsense . But Bob’s mood was the best . Thus, Bob couldn’t stop anymore .
“What does my sword need?”
Elia, Joseph and Gary laughed . It was obvious what Bob was going to shout next . The line that they always told him not to say . The very thing that caused them to cringe in embarrassment . But they would accept it today .
“Justice!”
“Justice!”
“Justiceeee!”
“Just- ice!”
The roleplayers shouted at the same time . Raizen saw the funny scene, but he couldn’t laugh . It was because they unleashed a wild assault .

Crockta gasped for breath, wielding his greatsword like crazy .
But the enemies didn’t give up . He trampled the enemies, but more enemies appeared .
Moreover, several influential figures were acting to keep Crockta in check . Crockta tried to help the inhabitants, but the enemies kept Crockta away of them . He could only watch as the residents were slaughtered .
Crockta thought despairingly . Insufficient . His power was lacking . More power was needed .
Crockta rushed again, but was blocked by several people . He wielded his greatsword at their defense . He was able to slash at one user; but at the same time, he received multiple wounds on his body . Blood and flesh were scattered onto the floor .
Crockta fell to his knees .
“Don’t be upset, Orc . ” They said with a laugh .
Crockta closed his eyes . He still had power left . He grabbed his greatsword . It was only up to here, but it was still good . He had done his best . It couldn’t be helped .
However, he would stamp it clearly . What an orc was .
Crockta opened his eyes . He prepared for his last hurrah .
It was at that moment .
Dudududududu .
The earth shook .
“……?”
Everyone on the battlefield gazed at a distant place . Dust had risen up .
“…W-What?”
Crockta also lifted his head . The earth was ringing .
Dudududududu .
A crowd of people were rushing from the horizon towards this place .
Dudududududu .
Everyone looked at them . The distance narrowed . The earth shook like there was an earthquake .
Dudududududu!
