Rebirth: Building the Strongest Party with my Overpowered Harem.-Chapter 15: Orc king ... down.

Alice, still on the ground, could only raise her head to get a closer look at the man standing in front of her.

Though she could only see a blur, she was still able to determine little hints.

He held a blade in one hand, his black hair dancing behind him, and finally, silver, empty eyes that screamed darkness.

Barely able to stand on her feet, she replied,

"I don't care about the price or what I have to do. As long as you are able to save me right here, then I'll pay it."

Instantly, a grin formed on Adonis's face.

While he was hiding under the tree, he noticed some of his dark goblins were sending signals to him about the orcs advancing toward his position.

In the novel, while Adonis never made it to the Sacred Ground Forest, Alice didn't die either. In fact, she was known for being a one-man army.

That was the only reason why he didn't initially step in to help them. That said, after witnessing the battle, it became clear that he needed to step in.

But at a price.

"Very well then, I'll save you as you have requested," Adonis replied.

Then, turning to the Orc King—

[Your enemy wishes to fight.]

'Yeah, no shit. Thankfully, I picked this blade from one of the dead men following Alice. The question is, can I really kill this beast? It is still a B-rank monster at best. In that case, I should assess its strength. I'll be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one.'

[You have activated the skill Dead Summon.]

From the ground, six Dark Goblins spawned, all at level 3.

Adonis pointed at the Orc King before relaying his orders to his soldiers.

"Kill it."

Not even a second later, the dark goblins charged forward, speeding toward their common enemy.

The Orc Lord screeched as it also launched itself forward.

For something so big, it was surprisingly agile.

In terms of raw strength and speed, the Orc King was leagues above Adonis and his soldiers.

Smash!

One of the dark goblins puffed into dust as the Orc King slammed its wooden weapon on it.

Another dark goblin took the opportunity and stabbed the Orc in the back.

"Arrrhghhh!"

It didn't take much effort for the Orc King to pick up the dark goblin and slam it to the ground, causing it to explode into dust like the rest.

The rest of the dark goblins did not stop attacking, trying to hold their own against the Orc King—and failing.

Adonis stood at a safe distance, assessing the situation.

At his current level, there was only so much he could do. Since he had gained the system, he hadn't exactly had the luxury of using it to its full potential.

If only he could increase his rank like he did for other people, then things would be so much easier.

'Still, if I can defeat this freak of nature, it should be a huge boost in my stats. I am weak, and that is why I'll use everything in my arsenal, even if it means burning through my mana!'

[The skill Dead Summon has been activated.]

Adonis charged forward, seven dark goblins flanking both sides.

Punches from the orc were flying like rattling gunfire, sending out powerful strikes at each of the dark goblins that approached it.

Despite the Orc being the one in the winning race, the battle seemed almost... equal.

No matter how many dark soldiers he killed, they kept spawning over and over again.

Suddenly—

Squish!

[You have used the Chain of Echidna.]

The chain went through the gut of the Orc, blood spewing from the monster's mouth as fire began to burn inside him.

With his other hand, Adonis wrapped another chain around the Orc's neck to bring it down to its knees.

Orcs were always known to be relentless.

Grabbing the chain, it tossed Adonis to the front and slammed him against the ground.

'Ho...w..'

Baam!

The Orc stomped on Adonis, a boom exploding from the impact.

Adonis coughed out blood, his body being crushed under the foot of the Orc King.

[Kill the Orc King.]

[Kill the Orc King.]

The message spammed in front of Adonis.

In such a moment, one would most likely feel fear or helplessness when stuck between the ground and the giant foot of an Orc King.

That wasn't the same for Adonis.

A grin was hitched to his face—the face of a man who was not afraid of death.

He wrapped his fingers around the edges of the Orc's foot and yelled...

"Bring him down!!!"

Just shouting like that caused him to cough out blood, his eyes completely red.

But the message had been heard.

The dark goblins all swooped into action, leaping onto the Orc and stabbing it with their weapons. Some were ruthless enough to eat the Orc alive, numbing any feeling in its hard skin.

Screams of the goblins could be heard throughout the forest as the Orc fell to one knee.

It killed and killed, but the dark goblins kept coming.

As if right on time, Adonis yelled—

"Burn it to a crisp! Chain of Echidna!"

The blue-burning chains wrapped themselves around the Orc King's foot.

First, they slowly sank into the skin of the Orc, and then, after a while, the fire began to spread all over the monster's body.

In pain, the monster immediately removed its leg from Adonis's body and began screaming as it pushed its body from one tree to another.

[The fire of Echidna cannot be put out.]

The Orc fell to its knees, crying as its body was burned by the strange fire that ate away at him.

Soon, it was dead, its entire body completely grilled by the flames. Not a single part of its body was recognizable
