Lewd Dungeon Master: This Orc Is Too Damn OP! - Chapter 293: Aiming at My Balls
Filthy. Disgusting.
I was disgusted at being completely betrayed, disgusted at the attacks coming at me, and disgusted at my subordinates dying to those attacks.
"Ssshavee uuss, Thundderr Lorrrrd!"
"Just shut the hell up!!"
Even when he stayed quiet he was useless, but now he kept yapping in my ear making it impossible to think straight. I was already struggling to death just maintaining the barrier by drawing up my mana, but my subordinates and adjutant were all equally useless.
Fsssssh.
The power of the acidic breath Shax had been spitting out—though out of consideration for our past connection, I couldn’t bring myself to call it what it really was—finally died down. Thunder Lord silently cheered as acidic liquid floated around the barrier.
"That’s it! You ran out of mana!"
Since I’d seen her recovering mana with mana potions here and there, she’d eventually hit her limit if I just held out. Thunder Lord’s prediction was right on the money, and Shax started panting with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Now’s my chance, screee!!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Thunder Lord raised his wings high into the sky. At the same time, massive electrical charges started gathering until his entire body began glowing blue.
"I’ll neutralize this filthy water---!!"
Thunder Lord swung his wings downward.
Crackle-zzzt!!
Each wing started emitting electricity with different properties. At the same time, the water around Thunder Lord started turning to steam.
Fsssss.
Not steam—it was decomposing. There were plenty of particles for the current to flow through—whatever liquid someone had been spraying—and the demonic energy-infused mana rapidly spread throughout the entire lake.
Sizzle.
The demonic energy in the current clashed with the divine power and neutralized it. The electricity couldn’t completely neutralize the acidic gastric fluid, but divine power was more lethal to the cockatrices than the gastric fluid.
"Come down! Counterattack!"
Thunder Lord charged forward with rough breathing. But not a single cockatrice followed.
"What are you all doing!"
"B-but!"
"The water feels gross to go in—"
"You idiots!"
Thunder Lord whipped his head around and caught a cockatrice in his beak. The cockatrice flailed its wings and legs in surprise, but Thunder Lord turned his head back forward and released his beak.
"Screeee!!"
The cockatrice spun several times through the air before slamming into the shore. It rolled with a massive splash, and all that water splashed over Shax and Galahad.
"..."
Were they shocked by the unexpected ambush, or had they never imagined they’d get drenched in the lake water?
Shax and Galahad couldn’t even move. The two of them, looking like drowned rats, stared at each other with twisted expressions.
"Dammit."
"Tch."
Since they both knew what they’d done to the lake, neither could curse the other. Instead, their anger turned toward an innocent victim.
"Squawk?!"
The cockatrice that had just been rolling on the ground and trying to get up had its neck severed and heart pierced. Galahad’s iron sword beheaded the cockatrice in one stroke, and the compressed water bullet Shax flicked with her finger became a projectile that punched through the cockatrice’s heart.
"I didn’t expect them to attack by throwing subordinates like that."
"He’s not the type to care about his underlings. None of the executives in this dungeon are the kind who look out for their subordinates."
Water droplets started floating in the air behind Shax one by one. Galahad also prepared for battle by infusing divine power into his sword.
"Should we have just fought like this from the start?"
"All that effort dodging effort. ...Listen, Miss Shax. I don’t know if you’ll turn out to be wife material, but let’s make one thing clear."
Galahad hardened his expression and stared at Thunder Lord.
"We slaughtered the enemies by swinging our swords and firing water bullets. Right?"
"...Weren’t we just about to start fighting?"
They both smirked at each other at the same time. And they decided to pour out their anger at this unpleasant and disgusting situation on someone else.
"I’ll snipe, you guard the front."
"Of course. ...Wait, doesn’t that mean I’ll get soaked again in front—"
Splash----!!
Another cockatrice came flying. Galahad kicked it away with a roundhouse.
"...."
Galahad stood in that same position for a long moment, staring at the water stains on his dress pants.
Anyway.
The underground raid by Galahad and Shax began.
***
No matter how much slime you spray from the air, it doesn’t necessarily lead to kills.
Sure, a human would die if you threw a brick at them from a rooftop, but the visibly tough 3-star gargoyles and giant ravens tanked the slime gatling with their bodies.
"Damn tough hides!"
The slime gatling wasn’t very effective. Not that I could swing around Slime Dragon. I kept firing slime at the nearest gargoyle.
Rat-tat-tat-tat!!
Before, I’d failed at controlling the amount and fired slime until my body shriveled up. But now, learning from that mistake, I sprayed just enough slime to take some damage.
It couldn’t seriously wound the enemies, but the slime gatling was achieving great results for my strategy.
"Woooo! You won’t get through!"
Buying time. I just had to stop the monsters from getting to the upper floor where the main battle was happening. I glanced back to see Lune and Gremory overwhelming the redhead.
Rapid-firing wind arrows against a raven easily over 4 meters tall. And when targeting vital points, switching to silver arrows infused with divine power for sniping.
Flames scattered and wind flew like blades. Sometimes she fired light bombardments by infusing her magic with divine power.
Neither Lune nor Gremory’s combat style had changed much. They were just using mana with a bit of divine power added for lethal attacks.
’Might just be a buff period for them, but it’s lethal to monsters.’
The redhead couldn’t even use his full strength and was stuck on defense. Especially when dodging attacks with divine power, he made the fatal mistake of just taking other normal attacks head-on.
"Heh, they’re fighting well."
Caaaaw!!
Corpse Hawk roared from repeated damage. It seemed to be preparing some big attack. I was worried but didn’t have time to pay attention there.
"Ugh, damn...."
The excruciating pain from Trust’s Leap was still stabbing through my whole body. I was enduring it trusting in an orc’s healing ability, but that only worked when staying still.
Caaaaw!!
The giant ravens finally managed to climb right up to the stairs by breaking through the slime barrage. The giant raven in front that had taken the most slime was furious and tried to stab me with its beak.
Too late to dodge. Had to fight back. But the giant raven’s steel-like beak would tear through my skin and peck out my heart the moment it touched me.
"That’s why I need to use you as a weapon!"
I stretched both arms straight forward. The Slime Dragons hastily pulled back, and I spread both hands preparing to catch the beak.
Screech!!
The giant raven mocked me and jumped up. Its body spun around and the beak started rotating.
"Oh, fuck."
Didn’t expect that. I had no choice but to put my hands toward the drill-like spinning beak.
Screech!!
"Grrgh!"
Felt like my palms were being shredded. No, they actually were being shredded. The beak’s surface was rough like dirt, scraping and trying to keep spinning in my palms.
"Uooo!!"
But I had to endure. Had to hold this place until Lune and Gremory could take down Corpse Hawk together. My palms were soaked in blood, but I barely managed to grab the giant raven’s beak.
"Heh, you think I’m dumb for grabbing your beak?"
Birdbrain probably wouldn’t understand, but I didn’t let go of the giant raven’s beak. The giant raven suddenly spread its wings and tried to pull back, but Lime popping out from below me was faster.
Crunch!
Lime spread her body wide and swallowed the giant raven’s beak. Lime pushed her body toward my hands, the beak, and the head, and started eating the giant raven from the head down.
Crunch, crunch!
Even if lower level than Lune, Lime had already broken past level 50. Maybe not against a moving enemy, but she had no problem eating one whose beak was caught like this.
"That’s enough."
Ptooey.
Lime separated from the body of the giant raven she’d been eating. The giant raven with half its head eaten fell limply, tumbling down the stairs.
Crash, crash!!
The falling giant raven crashed into the group of gargoyles. The quick ones dodged fast, but those rushing up from below got crushed under the giant raven and fell.
"Ugh. This sucks, really. Are these things even 4-star?"
My palms were numb like they’d been fried by electricity. Thanks to Blood Flow Acceleration, blood was flowing out even more and I felt dizzy. Sure, if I left it alone for about 10 minutes the surface would heal, but the ravens weren’t going to give me those 10 minutes.
"Looks like they got more pissed after one got eaten, Lime."
Caaaaaaaw!!
The giant ravens, now down to about 10, screamed at us like they were cursing. Lime wiggled her body and clung to me, and I grabbed Lime’s torso tight.
"...Lime, you don’t have to do it with the boobs."
Gurgle.
"Fine. I appreciate it though."
I grabbed Lime’s huge breasts extending from my body. On Lime’s head was the ’beak’ of the giant raven she’d eaten.
A beak hard enough to dig through dirt walls. Since it was a beak that only crumpled easily when I used full strength, it was the perfect weapon to counter the enemy’s beaks.
Squawk!
"A gargoyle next?!"
Lime stuck right to the underside of the beak. Using slime as glue to fix her body in place, I grabbed Lime’s breasts and lifted high.
"Be quiet!"
Smash!!
I swung Lime down hard. The steel beak shattered the gargoyle’s head in one hit, and the gargoyle became a lump of stone tumbling down the stairs.
Screech!!
This time a gargoyle got hit by the stone and had its wing broken. Not complete idiots since they dodged—there was some learning effect.
"But I can still just keep holding out."
My palms were numb but holding Lime’s huge tits didn’t sting. It did sting, but I couldn’t let go of the soft breast sensation.
"Hey! Next one, come at me!"
The giant ravens started hesitating one by one. With Corpse Hawk who could give orders tied up by Lune and Gremory, they were scared on instinct.
’This works in my favor.’
Drag out the time and I win. A bit tired, but if I just held out my executives would bring victory.
’Having a formation with only divine power users makes it a bit tough.’
Made me think about forming a separate unit specifically using divine power, whether Orc Paladins or Green Elves. But that power was currently playing a huge role in taking down Halphas’s Legion, so I could refine the problems I experienced this time through trial and error.
"Heh, relaxed enough to have stray thoughts. Nice."
Gurgle.
"Right. The longer it goes, the more we win."
Though it was also true that the longer it went, the more the enemy revived monsters through magic stones, but those intervals were getting longer.
Screech!!
Deciding they couldn’t give us more time, one giant raven flew at me. I spread both arms wide, and Lime opened her beak wide to match. Keeping her body in place.
"Lime, don’t do anything stupid! Just open up the space!!"
Lime hesitated then opened up the space in the middle. The giant raven stabbed precisely into the empty space Lime created with its beak, and this time I clenched my fist and caught the beak with my forearm.
Screech!!
"Grrgh!!!"
The skin on my entire forearm was being scraped off. My arm twisted 90 degrees, leaving spiral-shaped lacerations, blood spattering everywhere, but the beak only reached up to my solar plexus.
Gulp!
Lime took revenge for me by swallowing the eagle’s head again. That made two beaks secured.
Graaah!!
I glanced back to see Corpse Hawk dying. Lune and Gremory had minor wounds, but ultimately succeeded in taking down Corpse Hawk.
"Then I should also start wrapping up—"
Suddenly, I felt something strange from below. The instant I instinctively thought ’oh fuck’ and pulled my foot back slightly.
Screech---!!
Another steel beak pierced through the stairs right at my feet, spinning sharply and aiming at me.
At my balls.
