"RHAAAA!" Gabiru jumps toward the Orc general trying to drive his Trident into the open visor of the Orcs face.
The Orc General grunts blocking with his humongous Shield.. He punches Gabiru hard sending him flying through the air.
Gabiru twist midair and lands on his feet sliding across the Marshy ankle deep ground. Gabiru spins his whole body and Points his Trident at the Orc General. He Glows a bright yellow Briefly. The end of his Trident Glows "VOOOORTEEEX CRAASH!"
Water spins upward around Gabiru Then rushes toward the Orc General forming a Dragons Head Roaring.
The Orc General grunts and swings his Axe forward with both hands. The Axe hits the water dragon with enough force the water disperses sideways.
The Orcs eyes Glow a Devilish Red. His Aura becomes solid red, Trendrils with White snake like faces "Chaos Eater!"
The Red Snakes Rush at Gabiru. He flips backwards just in time as they slam into the ground just where he was. Gabiru lands in a crouch and looks up at the Dangerous looking Aura snakes "You're trying to Eat me!?"
The Orc General Chuckles Darkly as his Chaos eater snakes Float above his head connected to his back "Do you think you can run Forever?"
Gabiru slowly stands up "I will Defeat you."
The Other Lizardmen start chanting their leaders name boosting his Morale. Gabiru's eyes sharpen. Suddenly the Orc general and Gabiru rush at eachother.
Chaos Eater rushes infront of the Orc General. Gabiru's momentom stops, He twist and turns his Body fighting through the Snakes. He cuts through three of them just for them to reform. One of them slams into his chest making him slide backwards.
Gabiru falls onto one knee taking deep breaths. Chaos Eater rushes toward him. Gabiru grunts "This, Is Nothing."
Gabiru pushes himself forward, He sprints toward the Orc General again. "RHAAAAA"
Gabiru slices through Chaos eater not slowing his Sprint. The Orc general grunts and swings his Axe at Gabiru. The Lizardman twist his Body Dodging. He jumps High into the air. He grips his Trident with Both hand as he Brings it down toward the Orc General head "RHAAAA!"
The Orc General raises his Shield. Gabiru hits it Feet first. The Orc General swings his Axe, Gabiru twist his Body and blocks with his Trident. The force of the attack sends him flying.
Gabiru hits the swampy ground hard. He rolls until his Momentum stop. His men have all gone silent worried about him. "S-Sir Gabiru!"
Gabiru Grunts and slowly picks himself up onto his knees.. He leans on his trident and looks up at the Orc General. The General walks up infront of Gabiru and raises his Axe "Looks like you'll die groveling on the ground, As a Lizard Should."
Gabiru gasp, Some of his Men scream as The Orc General swings his staff downward.
CLANG! The Orc general slides backwards from the Force of Gobta's swing with his club. Gobta lands infront of Gabiru.
"It's you! The guy who Beat me at that weird village! Hold on, Did you come here to save us?" Gobta looks over his Shoulder at Gabiru.
Ranga walks up beside Gabiru "That's Gobta. He's the Captain of the Goblin Riders."
Gabiru gasp as he looks up at Ranga "You're that Dire wolf!"
"My name is Ranga. My Master Rimuru told me to come help you."
"B-But how did you get here so quickly!"
Ranga sighs "Shadow Movement. Both Gobta and I are hightly proficent with Shadow Movement. Try to Pay attention."
The Orc General Chuckles Darkly drawling their attention "Rimuru you say. I Dont know who any of you new-comers are but if you stand in my way I'll-" BOOM!
Behind The Orc General A Humongous Explosion goes off. A dome of Purple Fire Big enough to kill hundreds of Orcs at once. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Gobta raises his hand infront of his face as the Wind pressure from the explosions almost send him flying "At last! it looks like its starting!"
The Orc general looks over his Shoulder at Gobta. Is this Magic from the Lizardmen? The time for Playing around is Over. I have to find whoever is using that Magic and End them! Before they slaughter more of My Lords Men!
The Orc Lord turns back around to Face Gobta. Said Hob-Goblin looks at Gabiru "So Gab-Iru or whatever your name is. You should Probably assume a defensive formation."
Gabiru grips his Trident "R-Right I understand." Gabiru Gasp as another Explosion of Purple Flames Sends Orcs Flying and Burning to Ash. "Who's causing those flames?"
Gobta shrugs "No need to worry. Those are probably on Our side... I think."
XxX
Across the Battlefield Benimaru, Shion, and Hakurou stand in a triangle formation surrounded by Orc. One of the Orcs points a sword toward them "Who are you!?"
Benimaru lowers his head lightly. His eyes are shadowed "You have Forgotten us? How rude, After you went and devoured our whole village." Benimaru raises his head and opens his eyes. He Smirks dangerously.
One of the Orcs speaks up "Those Horns... Are you, Ogres?"
"Us? No. Perhaps that's why you cant Remember us." Benimaru raises his right hand palm upward. A White flame with a Black outline forms in his hand.
Hakurou grips the hilt of his Sword. "The Time has come."
Shion hefts her Huge Sword over her Shoulder "Yes, and we should Thank Lord Rimuru for this Opportunity."
Benimaru raises the white flame ball in his hand and grins savagely "I'll say this Once. You best Move out of our way Unless you Prefer an Agonizing Death."
Several Orcs back away in fear. Benimaru Throws the ball of Fire at them. They each scramble to get out of its way. It travels several Hundred Meters before Benimaru grins "Hell Flare." BOOM
Like the last dozen Explosions it swallows Hundreds of Orcs in the Purple Flames Killing them nearly instantly.
High Above the Battlefield Rimuru Floats Using his Polymorphic Bat wings. "Amazing..."
Down below The Orc General points his Axe at Gobta "It appears you've come to assist the Lizards. How Foolish. Goblins and Dogs, A pathetic Rescue team. As if you weaklings could ever defeat a superior Monster Such as myself."
Gobta takes a step forward, an Annoyed vain shows on the side of his head "Pathetic!?"
Ranga steps up beside Gobta "Alright. We'll show you." Ranga's eyes glow a dangerous red as he lets out a Loud intimidating Growl. Like Flames Ranga's Red Aura explodes around him. Overhead Storm clouds form. Thunder claps as Black Lightning arcs across the sky.
Up above Rimuru gasp Loudly as Six fully formed Tornados swirl into existance. WHAT THE FUCK!
The Tornados Touch down and the sounds of Orcs Screaming in Terror can be heard as they're yanked into the Tornado either to be pulled upward into the Black Thunderstorm or to be send Flying where they break their necks upon their landing.
Hey Great Sage...
Answer: This is the Wide Range attack Skill Ranga Possesses. Titled: Death Storm.
Oh... That's the most epic thing I've ever seen...
Down below the Orc General gets sucked up into one of the tornados. He flies upward several Meters. BOOM! A streak of Black Lightning travels into the Tornado and hits the Orc General. He screams as his whole body disintegrates.
Ranga lets out a Loud Savage Howl. As quickly as the Storm above formed it disperses. Hundreds of Orcs scream as they fall to their death. Ranga's body Glows Briefly, He grows even Bigger than his previous form. Another Shorter Horn comes out of his head below the first. Ranga now Towers above the Orcs twice their size.
Gobta uncovers his face. He had been protecting it from the savage wind with his arm. He looks at Ranga in Awe "No way! Ranga Evolved Into a Tempest Storm Wolf!"
Black Lightning arcs between Ranga's two horns "Do you see now Filthy Orcs!? This is a Fraction of the Power of someone you mocked as Pathetic!"
Gobta Chuckles Nervously "Uh Ranga, There's Nobody there... You killed them all."
"Exactly!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM Benimaru walks slowly with a grin as Orcs disintegrate within his Hell Flare spells. "This battle will Mark a Brand new Beginning for us."
In a separate part of the Battlefield Hakurou sprints. He is But a white Blur for the Orcs. too fast for them to even register Hakurou unsheaths his cane sword. His speed never wavers as he Cuts through the orcs through the groovs of their armor.
With Lightning Fast precision Hakurou kills Droves of Orcs within mere seconds. Before even ten seconds have passed He's reached the edge of the orc army in his section of the battlefield.
Hakurou comes to a stop. He flicks his Bloody sword and slowly turns around. His grey eyes shine Dangerously as he sheaths his Cane sword. He looks over the Corpses of the Orcs he just slaughtered with a pleased look on his face. "Our Lord Rimuru will Inevitably be victorious in many Conflicts."
In a separate Section Shion Hefts her Humongous sword over her shoulder and looks at the wall of Orcs infront of her "This is the First step in our Lords path. You Filthy pigs are Nothing Compared to his greatness."
One of the orcs Brandishes a Giant Cleaver "Enough talk! Get her!" The Army of Orcs Roar as they rush Shion.
The purple haired Kijin Smirks as she lowers her stance. She takes a step forward and Swings her Mighty sword Downward. BOOM!
Orcs are sent flying, even more disintegrate in the wave of Bright blue Kinect Energy that flies forward from the blade. A Humongous Scar opens up in the ground.
Shion smiles Brightly and looks up toward Rimuru "Did you see me!"
Rimuru grins "Yes." Great sage, Remind me to never piss Shion off. Ever. Jeez look at that crator!
Shion Giggled and waves up at Rimuru.
Rimuru looks away. More importantly, What used to be a sizable Orc army is shrinking Drastically by the minute. Those Kijin sure know how to bring the pain. Benimaru alone has killed Thousand with those Hell Flare's of his... I really hope these guys choose to stay after the war is over. Not only because they're strong... But because I would really miss them.
Rimuru looks off toward the direction he knows the Lizardmen Mountain is. I wonder how things are going for Souei.
xXx
With ease Souei cuts through yet another Orc within the Chamber. One of the Lizardmen on the ground groans "How are we alive..."
Souei slowly places a few of Rimuru's potions in her hand "Here give them this."
"Right!"
Without Any hesitation the Chieftans Daughter runs around the Cavern making her comrads drink the potions. Afterwards Souei makes them lead him to where the Chieftan and the other elders are being held.
The group finds them locked in a steel cell with their hands Bound behind their back. Souei unlocks the cell and walks in first, The She-Lizard right behind him.
"Father!" She runs across the room and tackles her father in a Loving hug. The Chieftan grunts and leans his head against his Daughter. He chuckles lightly.
"You came to rescue us. Thank you Souei."
Souei silently helps the She-Lizard unbind everyone. She wraps her fathers arm over her shoulder and carries him out of the Chamber following Souei.
The chieftan looks at Souei's back "I dont understand. Why come?"
"We have Formed an Alliance."
"But how? I was here.."
The Chieftans Daughter speaks up "I formed it on your behalf Father as your representative. Reinforcements are coming."
"Is that true..."
"Yes, There was light at the end of the tunnel. You where Right Father."
Tears form on the edges of the chieftans eyes "My people are saved..."
A deep Bariton Chuckles drawls everyone Attention. Souei looks up as a Huge Orc raises a Battleaxe above his head about to bring it down on his head. The Chieftan screams out "Souei No!"
Souei Answers in his usual Monotone "There's no need to worry." Steel Thread wraps around the Orc across his body stopping his movements completely "I've already immobilized him."
The Chieftans Jaw slacks. His daughter speaks up "It seems Souei has that effect on everyone."
The chieftan lets out a deep breath he had been holding in worry. Then it means I was right forming an alliance with these people.
Souei looks up at the Orc "This Message, is for the Orcs Puppet Master. You are next. Destroying the Ogres village. and Making enemies will be your greatest of regrets." Souei pulls on one of the wires. The Orc screams as the steel thread cuts into him. Souei keeps pulling and doesnt stop until the Orc drops in several pieces.
The Chieftan gasps loudly. Slowly he gulps "D-Daughter." "Yes Father?" "We are Never to Insult Rimuru Tempest or Anger this man..." "Understood Father."
XxX
Gelmewd throws his crystal ball on the ground Shattering it "Damn it! useless orcs! and Those Kijin... I do remember having Geld attack a Ogre village. Does that mean the survivors somehow managed to evolve?... Not to Mention that Wolf Creature that killed one of Gelds Generals... No one said there was a Beast like that in the Forest of Jura... There are far too many unknown variables in this equation that I somehow missed! this is terrible! I must do something or risk my plan falling apart after I've come so faaar."
Gelmewd jumps and takes flight above the forest into the clouds. He hold his hat with one hand while he flies "If this Continues I'll most certainly be put to death by Him!"
XxX
Rimuru scans the battlefield. It's covered in smoking crators, Gashes in the earth and above all else Orc Corpses. After several Minutes Rimuru spots him in the eastern side of the battlefield. A so far untouched section by his allies.
Skill activated: Telepathy
Rimuru focusses so his thoughts will travel to all his allies below. I found the Orc Lord. East.
Rimuru gets a affirmative sound from everyone. They all start converging on the Orc Lord.
Rimuru reaches into his jacket. He pulls out Shizu's mask and slip it onto his face. "Orc Lord, We are going to End You."
Down below everyone regroups. With the Chieftan secure Souei regoins the others. Rimuru gasp as something enters his sensing Radius from above. He strafes left just as a Blur goes through the spot he just was.
Gelmewd hits the Ground between the Orcs and Rimuru's allies cratoring it sending dust flying.
Gelmewd looks up at the group as the Dust disperses. Rimuru looks down at him "A Majin."
Gelmewd points his walking staff at Rimuru's group "What's the Big idea! You have some Nerve choosing to Interfere in the Great Lord Gelmewds plans! A New Demon Lord who would have Done my bidding was just about to be Born! But now you've gone and ruined everything!"
Rimuru looks down at Gelmewd "A demon Lord?"
Benimaru's eyes widden "Say what?"
Gelmewd screams in frustration "You heard me! Why do you think I gave out so many names!? sewed so many seeds. It was all part of my plan to create the ultimate pawn!
Hakurou closes his eyes "Now I understand."
Souei's face scrunches up in anger "That's why you attacked us!"
Shion body shakes in anger. Her eyes Shine dangerously as she grips the handle of her sword "and Killed our people!"
Gabiru upon seeing Gelmewd lets out a sigh of relief seeing the one who gave him a name "Thank goodness that's Lord Gelmewd himself! But why are you here? Have you come to save the Lizardmen"
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID LIZARD." Gabiru gasp as Gelmewd points up at him. "Why don't you just let the Orc Lord eat you already! Get it through your stupid head! You're literally so worthless you'll never be anything more than a nuisance! But if the Orc Lord eats you you'll become a part of His strength! Take Heart in the Fact that atleast if you die you'll have served some sort of purpose."
Gelmewd turns around and looks up at the Orc Lord "Dinner is served your Lordship!" The Orc lord starres down at Gelmewd "W-What's wrong?"
The Orc Lord continues to Stare at Gelmewd "A New Demon Lord will be born... I don't understand."
Gelmewd sighs lightly and speaks to low for Geld to hear him "You really are a imbecile... It's You Geld! You'll become the Demon Lord! Disaster! You'll Rule over the Forest of Juraaa! That has always been the plan! That is what He and I both Desire!"
From Above Rimuru observes and listens. Who is He?
Geld continues to stand still in thought frustrating Gelmewd "Why are you just standing there You Fat Stupid Pig!? Ugh, We're running out of time. I wasn't supposed to interfere but I can see I have no choice!"
Gelmewd holds out his left hand, a Bright Red and white ball of energy forms. He points it at Gabiru and the Lizard men "Die!"
The Ball Rockets forward and Triples in size. Three Lizardmen throw themselves infront of Gabiru. BOOM!
Gabiru and his men are thrown backwards. The three Lizardmen who had thrown themselves infront of him are badly Burned. Gabiru looks at them with tears in his eyes "T-They saved me."
Gabiru picks one of his friends up, He cant tell if he's alive or dead. Gabiru lets out a pained scream of Anguish "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!
Gelmewd points his hand Toward Gabiru already making another Red ball of Energy "Already told you. You Only Exist to become Fodder for the Orcs!"
The Ball above Gelmewds hand grows the size of a beachball. He laughs "I will show you the strength of a superior Majin!"
Rimuru slips off his mask as he gasp lightly. Suddenly the Beachball sized Energy Core splits into two Dozen smaller balls. Gelmewd throws his hand forward "Now Die! Deathmarch Dance!"
The Red balls Race forward at Gabiru. He closes his eyes in fear. All he can see is Red behind his closed eyelids.
In a Blur of Speed Rimuru flies infront of Gabiru. He holds out his hand.
Skill activated: Magicule barrier
A Shield like Etherial Blue barrier shoots out infront of Rimuru's Open hand. The Deathmarch balls hit it and disintegrate against it. Rimuru makes a Tsk sound as the Last ball disintegrates. Gabiru opens his eyes with a Gasp seeing Rimuru standing above him.
Gelmewd lowers his hand "What!?"
Rimuru lets his barrier drop as he lowers his hand "So That was a superior Majins Spell? You cant kill anyone with that Weak Shit."
"N-No... Impossible."
Gabiru looks up at Rimuru "Did you just... Save me?"
Rimuru reaches into his jacket and pulls out a few of his potions. He tosses them over his shoulder at Gabiru "Heads up." Gabiru Scrambles to catch them all but adventually manages to grip them. "Drink. Give the rest to your allies. They're still Alive. I can tell by how their Magicules feel."
Gabiru looks up at Rimuru "R-Right!" Gabiru doesnt even drink one. He quickly start making his burned friends drink them. He cries happy tears as the friends he thought where dead start to come too.
Rimuru turns back toward Gelmewd "Now then." Rimuru raises his hand and points it at Gelmewd.
Skill Activated: Sticky Steel Thread.
The Steel Thread wraps Around Gelmewds arms, legs, neck and midsection. The threads detaches themselves from Rimuru and Anchors Gelmewd to the ground. He's bound in his standing Position unable to even fall because the Threads do not slack.
Gelmewd attempts to struggle "W-What the Blasted is T-This!"
Rimuru lowers his hand and walks forward slowly. So this Asshole was behind it all. I cant Believe Gabiru was fooled by him. He's kinda dumb and Arrogant but that's just because he's super young and prideful. That's what happens when someone is praised all the time for everything they do. Despite that I've grown to kinda like Gabiru... And that's a good enough reason for me to help him out.
Rimuru stops walking infront of the Much shorter and weaker Demon. He looks down at Gelmewd who at his tallest is only as tall as Rimuru's chest.
Gelmewd looks up at Rimuru "Y-Yooou. How Dare You. D-Don't you know who I-Uugh" In a Blur of speed Rimuru slams his fist into Gelmewds stomach.
Gelmewd gets the breath knocked out of him as he slumps forward against the Wire. Gelmewd takes several deep breaths and looks at Rimuru Hatefully "You'll Pay for-"
Rimuru takes a step back then takes a step forward throwing his leg forward he kicks Gelmewd full force with his foot. The Steel Wire snaps and Gelmewd flies backwards in to much pain to even scream.
Gelmewd hits the ground and rolls twice. He lands on his knees taking several raggid breaths from behind his mask. Rimuru slowly walks toward him "You keep talking like your some Kind of Tough Demon. But you look pretty Pathetic to me... You said 'He' earlier. Who was it you where talking about? Who's your Master?"
Gelmewd shakily stands up. He runs toward Geld "Orc Lord! Do something!"
Geld looks down at Gelmewd "I'm so very Hungry."
"Who Cares! Just help me Orc Lord- I mean Geeeld... Just hurry up and Evolve into a Demon Lord stupid."
Geld takes Slow steps toward Gelmewd while holding his Giant Meat cleaver in his right hand. Gelmewd sighs "Oh look the Mountain of Lard finally decided to move! Ahahaha." Gelmewd turns his back to Geld and points at Rimuru "Oh your in for it now! You'll Rue the day you interfered with my plans! Get them Geld! Make them Re-"
Geld swings his Meatcleaver and cuts Gelmewds head Clean off. His head hits the ground with a wet Thump. His body follows. Rimuru gasps as Geld Bends down and start eating the Corpse of his Namer.
Everyone tenses up for a fight as a pink and purple aura start wafting upward off of the Orc Lord. Ranga growls loudly. Suddenly the Aura intensifies. It suddenly Turns Pitch black with a Red outline. The Aura spins like a whirlwind around Geld.
Suddenly the Aura around Geld Explodes upward. He looks Drastically different now.
The Orc Lord know as Geld has Evolved into a Demon Lord know as The Orc Disastor.
Rimuru takes a step forward "Well this might of just got abit harder than it was before. Everyone get ready!"
Geld Lets out a Loud Roar making the Ground Shake. "I Am the Great Orc Disaster! I am the One that will Devour all in this world! I am Geld! Geld The Demon Lord!"
Shions eyes shine as her Anger Reaches a Boiling Point. Without warning she Sprints at Geld with Her sword at her side "You call yourself a Demon Lord!?"
Shion jumps into the air and Brings her sword back over her shoulder "Curve your Ego you stinking Pig! RHAAA"
BOOM! Shions Sword and Gelds Meat cleaver making the ground below Geld Crator and send out a Sonic Shockwave. Shion growls as she tries to overpower Geld. Suddenly the Orc lord tenses up. Shion is sent flying through the air as Geld swipes his Meat cleaver toward her.
Shion Flips through the air and lands on her feet. She slides backward and instantly Recovers Sprinting toward Geld with another Battle Roar.
Geld Raises his Meatcleaver preparing to bring it down on her head. From above Hakurou comes down like a Oni of Death. He drawls his Sword and cuts through Gelds neck cleanly severing it from his body.
Hakurou lands in a crouch sheathing his blade. Geld turns around toward Hakurou. with His hand He places his Severed head back onto his neck. Yellow Tendrils reatach the head.
Rimuru gasp "His Healing Abilities are insane. It should be Impossible to recover from a severed head. Is this the Power of a Demon Lord?"
Souei Flexes his palm at his side. Suddenly Hundreds of Steel Threads shoot out of the ground around Geld wrapping him up in a Cacoon of steel. "Arcane Thread Fetters."
Souei pulls the threads Taunt "Do it Benimaru!"
Benimaru holds out his hand toward the Cacoon "Take this you foul Swine! Hell Flare!" BOOM!
Ranga's Aura explodes as he Howl Loudly. From Above a Black Lightning comes down and Hits Geld head on. Ranga takes a deep breath as he shrinks down to Rimuru's height.
Rimuru looks at Ranga "Out of Magicules?"
Ranga bows his head "Forgive me..."
Rimuru smiles lightly at him "Rest in my shadow." "Right!" Ranga walks behind Rimuru and slowly disappears into his shadow.
Rimuru turns back around to the smoking crator their combined attacks Created. The Dust slowly dissapates upward. All the Kijin gasp in shock at Geld Slowly stands up. The Orc Demon Lord is covered in Burns but still alive.
Geld stands up and looks at his Burned arms "So this is what Pain feels like." An Orc runs up to Geld "My Lord! I offer my Body up to you."
Geld looks down at the Orc "Alright." Geld bends down and bites into the head of his comrad. Within seconds Geld Devours the smaller Orc. Geld Glows green briefly, When the glow receedes his wounds are gone.
Rimuru narrows his eyes "Regeneration and Healing Magic."
Geld Stands up straight "More Food! I'm Still Hungry! I need even More Power! Give it to MEEE!" Geld throws his hand forward. In his palm the same attack Gelmewd used before forms. Except Bigger.
The Crimson ball of Power shoot away from Gelds hand and travels above the Kijin. it stops above them and splits into atleast Three Dozen smallers balls.
Benimaru gasps, For once in this fight he Fears for his and his Comrads Safety. as The balls Shoot toward them Rimuru jumps infront of them and holds both his hands upward.
Skill Activated: Superior Magicule Barrier
A Blue Barrier Extends like a protective Dome over the Kijin. The Red balls slam into it harmlessly. Once the last one does Rimuru lowers his hands and the barrier disappears. Benimaru looks at Rimuru "My Lord."
Rimuru walks forward "I've got this."
Off of Gelds back Red Tendrils form. Chaos Eater comes into existance "Devour Him! Chaos Eater!" The Red tendrils Race forward Intent of Eating Rimuru.
Rimuru's body blurs as his slow walk turns into a sprint toward Geld. He Dodges the Tendrils with Lightning Fast Movements. To all those Present Rimuru turns in a blur of speed.

Rimuru hops backwards as the Meat cleaver comes down Breaking the earth where he just was. Rimuru sprints forward and jumps toward Geld.
The Demon Lord Orc raises his Meat cleaver in time to stop Rimuru's Flame Coated Blade from stabbing him in the face. The two Blades Battle. Suddenly Rimuru's sword starts cutting through Geld's cleaver.
The Orc Lord gasp and lets go of his Cleaver while jumping Backward. Rimuru hits the ground with Gelds Cleaver behind him. The Blade is on Fire and Melting back into it's Liquid form from the black flames.
Geld looks at his still on fire arm. He reaches and grabs his Bicept. He rips the part of his arm on fire off. He screams as his green Aura surrounds him. His arm regenerates quickly.
Geld hold his hands out at his side as The red balls form "I'm done playing around! I Will Devour You!"
Rimuru sheaths his blade and Geld Throws the ball. Both of them fly past Rimuru. Geld makes two more and throws them. These Split as they fly toward him.

Skill Activated: Superior Magicule Barrier
BOOM! All the Balls hit the front and the back of the Barrier at once Creating a mushroom cloud Explosion around the Barrier. Everyone Watches with Bated breaths as the smoke clears.
Everyone lets out a relieved Breath as they see Rimuru stand up while letting his Barrier drop. Geld Roars from Behind Rimuru having Moved behind him using the smoke cover.
Geld Reaches out his Hand around Rimuru's whole Body. Geld Screams as Rimuru Sword slices through his fingers. With a Growl Rimuru takes a step toward Geld and punches him full force in the stomach.
BOOM! The Power of the punch Makes a Sound wave and Makes Geld slide backwards. Geld falls onto one knee the Breath knocked out of him. Rimuru stands up straight and Rolls his wrist "I thought Demon Lords where supposed to be Strong."

Mental Connection Established.
Show me his Memories Great Sage. Show me what led him down this path of Destruction.
Rimuru and Geld are both transported into Gelds mindscape.
too everyone else it just looks like Rimuru and Geld are locked in a starring contest. None of the Kijin or the Orcs dare move.
Rimuru watches as his surroundings Shift and change. He's transported to a Barren land. Where there is no grass or trees. The ground is broken up with cracks. No food could ever grow here.
Rimuru's eyes widden as he sees Three starved Orc children crying from Hunger pains.
An Older Orc male approaches them with his Comrad. He bends down "Are you Hungry young ones? Wait just a moment..."
The Orc reaches up and rips off his own arm presenting it to the children. the Other Orc his companion watches in horror. He closes his eyes in sadness.
The Orc places his own arm infront of the Children. He smiles at them despite the pain he's in "Here. Eat it... The pain will go away... I want you to grow up to be Big and Strong."
The Two Orc men walk a small ways away. The Orcs companion bows to him "My King. Please don't do this. In this Famine, If we where to lose you our esteemed leader than there will be nothing left for our people but hopeless misery."
The Orc with a missing arm bows his head lightly and speaks softly "A Child Born two days ago died today, and the One born today will die tomorrow."
The Orcs arm slowly Regenerates. After Only a few moments his arm is there again "No matter what my body will always Regenerate it's parts... But if this isn't a state of Hopeless Misery, Then what else is it?"
"My king..."
"I'll go to the forest of Jura, Search for food."
The Orc raises his head and looks at his King "But the storm Dragon! The Forest of Jura is under his protection!"
Rimuru stands still as he watches the Orc King walk forward. The King talks as he walks away "The Storm Dragon has been sealed away for a long time. Our people cant afford to wait any longer."
Rimuru watches as the Orc King walks for days. The Arch Demon can hear his thoughts as he thinks them. I'm so Hungry... I want to eat something... Anything.
Rimuru watches as the Orc King collapses from exhausten and Hunger pains. That's how Gelmewd Finds him. Hungry, Exhausted, Desperate to save his people from starvation.
Rimuru watches as Gelmewd bends down over the Orc King "I think I shall give you a name. And Food and Water"
The Orc King manages to fight through his Pain and exhausten to look up at Gelmewd. "Who are you?"
"I am Gelmewd. If you like, Just think of me as your father."
Suddenly Gelmewd and The Orc King before he was named disappear. Rimuru turns around and sees The Geld in his current form with his back to him. He speaks knowing Rimuru is listening "He told me as The Orc Lord, Anyone I ate would not die. Rather they would simply be under the affects of Starved... I was just another pawn in his evil scheme."
Gelds Shoulders stiffen "But I had to take the risk! for my people. Even Now my People are starving! I can't afford to lose to you!"
Rimuru walks closer toward Geld "It's not too late for you. Or your people. We can help them. Together, You and I. I promise to get them real food. I promise to help you. Please stop fighting."
Geld goes silent for several seconds. He turns around slowly and looks at Rimuru "No. Even if I Wanted to I cannot. Starved drives my every action now. Even now in this place I can feel it knawing at my Mind. Making me want to attack and consume you... and Dieing is not a option. If I die my sins fall upon my people... I'll do anything to keep my people from Starving. I'll destroy everyone who gets in my way! I... I Will Not Lose to You!"
Rimuru takes a deep breath "I understand You now Geld. To... To save you I have to kill you. Else Starved will Force you to do terrible things... I Promise on my name as Rimuru Tempest. Your People Will never go Hungry again. And I will not allow anyone to punish them for your actions. They will be under my protection."
Geld Starres at Rimuru. The Blue haired Arch demon can see the Conflict within his eyes "You'll really Protect my people? Feed them? They won't have to return to the wasteland?"
Rimuru takes a deep shuttering breath as he think about how much the orcs have suffered. He looks up at Geld as tears start streaming down his face "Yes I promise Geld. Let me Show you what they will have."
Rimuru raises his arms. The Desert their in shifts as Rimuru changes the Mindscape completely. Outward of Rimuru Lush grass overtakes the cracked up ground. Fruit trees and plants grow. Fresh game runs by. Nearby houses form. Rimuru looks at Geld. Slowly his Demon Form fades away replaced with his True form. The Form he had as The Loving King of the Orc's. Geld looks around, His Breath hitches and tears form in his eyes "This is... T-Thank You Lord Rimuru."
Rimuru wipes his own tears away slowly and tries to calm himself "We're, We're gonna go back now Geld... And I'm going to kill you. You can Leave your people in my hands."
Geld Turns to Face Rimuru. The Kings nods "I am Ready."
XxX
Rimuru's eyes come back into focus he looks at the Demon Lords face below him. Rimuru takes a deep breath preparing mentally for what he has to do.
Geld Slowly raises his hand in a pleading Manner "W-Wait L-Lord Rimuru. I-I have Control O-Of myself at T-The Moment. I m-must... Address them... P-please."
Rimuru nods slowly. He jumps off of Geld. The Kijin watch silent as Geld stands up. The Orc Demon Lord doesn't try to heal his injuries or attack Rimuru. He slowly walks over to what's left of his army. at the forefront is a Orc not wearing armor. Geld looks out across his People "Our Fight is Over My people... We are Done waging War."
The Orc without armor looks up at his King "My King... Are you Free from your Hunger? Have you Returned to us?"
Geld looks down at his long time friend "No. Even now I am fighting it. Fighting to stay in control... Listen to me now! You Must Listen while I am still In control! Lord Rimuru and I spoke within our Minds! He will Lead you now! Please my people! Trust him! Trust him like you trusted me before I became this thing! He will not fail you like I have! Your children will no Longer starve! You will no Longer be forced to live in the wasteland! He is your King Now!... My People... I Must, I must die to be set free. I must die to set you free from this Demon designed Skill Starved! I your King am Choosing to die with Honour! I am Choosing to die with dignity as your King! Not as this Thing I have become... Do not weep for me... If your Children ask Tell them the truth... Tell them their King Lost his way but found it in the end. This is Goodbye... You will lose me and gain a new, Better ruler. Be... Be faithful to him."
Geld turns away from his people slowly. He has tears in his eyes. He walks forward and looks down at Rimuru "I am Ready Lord Rimuru."
Rimuru takes a deep breath and raises his hand up.
Unique skill Activated: Gluttony
Tears Stream down Rimuru's face as Geld falls to his knees with his head bowed forward. He disappears into the Black vortex. Rimuru takes a shuttering breath. Don't you Dare Great Sage. Tell me Later... I'll ask you about what I gained later... now is not the time...
Understood.
Rimuru lowers his hand and reaches up with his other to wipe his Face clean of tears. He smiles toward the Kijin, Goblins, Lizardmen, and Dire wolves. "We won."
