Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 235 - : Burning Soul... (Bonus Chapter)

Tears, tears, tears, tears!

Blood gushed from the stiff body of the Orc Demon Lord.

Yet in the next moment, his blood began flowing back, and his wounds began to heal rapidly.

This was the "immortal" level of regenerative power granted by his abilities.

But since Rei Ao intended to finish him off, he certainly wouldn't let him recover!

Boom!

Flames ignited from his dragon tail at the Demon Lord's chest.

Compared to his massive body, however, that small blaze seemed little more than a tiny spark.

"Ugh..."

At first, the Orc Demon Lord didn't pay it any mind.

A surge of living energy behind him burst forth, trying to envelop Rei Ao. He intended to use Corrode-and-Consume to devour Rei Ao, just as he had devoured Gelmud.

Unfortunately, the gap in their abilities was insurmountable.

The skill barely activated before collapsing in the next instant.

"What!!!"

The problem wasn't the skill or the magic energy. It was the Orc Demon Lord himself.

Suddenly losing balance, his giant body dropped to its knees.

"Gah!"

The dragon tail withdrew from his heart, flicked behind Rei Ao, and disappeared.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

"AAAAAHHH!!!"

The Orc Demon Lord let out a soul-rending howl, for that tiny spark in his heart had, in the blink of an eye, spread to engulf his entire body.

"All done."

Rei Ao watched calmly as the Orc Demon Lord writhed in agony.

His body rapidly turned to ash under the flame. Though there were faint signs of healing, they were no match for the intensity of the true crimson fire.

And his real torment wasn't physical—it was the burning of his soul.

Initially, Rei Ao expected it to be over just like that.

But there was still a slight twist.

Already riddled with incoherent thoughts, as his soul was partially destroyed, the Demon Lord slipped deeper into madness.

"I...want power!!!"

Instinctively, he unleashed all of his remaining strength.

The scarlet Corrode-and-Consume aura once again spread over the entire Orc Army. But this time, it wasn't sharing his power with them.

"Huh? Chief...?"

In an instant, the Orc warriors realized something was very wrong.

Their bodies began to shrivel; their magic power drained away.

Flesh and magic flowed en masse toward the Orc Demon Lord.

He was consuming his own troops!

"Aaaah!!!"

"Chief!!!"

...

Over two hundred thousand Orcs screamed in agony.

"Oh?"

Rei Ao didn't blink as he watched this happen.

Frieren: "Wh-what's happening now?"

Akame: "I have a suspicion."

Saeko Busujima: "Me too."

Mabel: "What are you guys talking about? I have no clue."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Because you're an idiot."

Mabel: "Huh?"

Rei Ao: "Heh, he's devouring his own tribe."

Having lost all reason, only the base instinct to survive remained in the Orc Demon Lord's body and soul.

And what better nourishment than the two hundred thousand troops around him?

Stella: "Ugh...how disgusting."

She felt nauseated as she watched each Orc shrivel until their skin clung to their bones, armor clattering to the ground. Their flesh and magic were sucked away into the Demon Lord.

Within mere seconds, not a single one of the two hundred thousand Orcs was left alive; even their cries had been abruptly cut short.

Those in the chat group were only watching via livestream. But Futaba and Rio, seeing it all directly from above, had far more intense reactions.

"Urgh!!!"

Both turned deathly pale, retching.

Even if they were monsters, from a human perspective, these creatures stood upright and spoke, indicating intelligence.

And even if they hadn't been intelligent, watching that many living creatures die in such a brutal way was horrifying.

That was over two hundred thousand sentient lives snuffed out in seconds.

Futaba and Rio's minds reeled, on the verge of shock.

Velzard glanced at them and shook her head inwardly.

She thought, "These two that Rei Ao brought have rather weak nerves."

"Uwoooaaah!!!"

In the flames, the Orc Demon Lord's aura grew drastically stronger, having devoured his entire army.

[Monster]: Orc Demon Lord "Geld"

[Level]: 48

[Abilities]: "Starved," "Corrode-and-Consume," ...

Sure enough, he had grown much more powerful, far beyond his previous state.

He was pushing himself up, his scorched body showing signs of mending even in the flames.

Yet Rei Ao's expression remained composed as the Demon Lord's massive frame loomed higher.

"Rooaar!!!"

The Orc Demon Lord roared at Rei Ao, but the spit and shockwave were dispelled by an invisible force.

"Time's about up," Rei Ao remarked calmly.

In the next moment—

"!!!"

The roar cut off abruptly.

Boom!!!

Just as the Orc Demon Lord rose, his body collapsed heavily, unable to stand again, completely silent.

"Tch, you can devour all you like—but you can't repair your soul."

With a wave of his hand, the intense flames on the Demon Lord's body vanished.

"Huh? What happened to him?"

At that moment, VeluVelzard and the others descended, and Torenie voiced the question everyone in the chat group was wondering. From their viewpoint, after devouring his entire army, the Orc Demon Lord's power had looked terrifying—how did he suddenly just collapse?

"He's dead," Velzard said with a blink.

"His soul has been destroyed; that's just an empty shell."

"The flames..." Velgrynd said, looking at Rei Ao in awe. "Your flames burned away his soul?"

She had never heard of fire that could incinerate a soul, let alone the soul of a proper Demon Lord-type.

"There's nothing to be surprised about," Rei Ao replied. "Maybe you can do that someday, too."

He was implying that with the right evolution of her blessing, Velgrynd could also master the True Crimson Flame.

"Mnng, I...I get it."

Velgrynd blushed in delight, feeling reassured that Rei Ao wouldn't forget about her.

"... ..."

Slightly jealous, Velzard stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Rei Ao's neck, biting his ear. "What about me?"

Rei Ao chuckled. "I'm not neglecting you, either, but your power is already incredibly strong."

"Mm."

She couldn't deny it. 'Eternal Freeze' was already edging beyond this world's top-tier abilities.

"That's why," Rei Ao continued, "I plan to fulfill our promise—today."

He was referring to the deal to take on that certain Demon Lord—Guy the Red Primordial—head-on!
