《Draconic Overlord》Chapter 13
Advertisement
Seeing the all the destruction in front of her Yuki didn't feel a thing. She initially felt a little disgust from the pungent odour of blood, but she almost immediately got over it.
With Sasha and Rin now back by her side, there was only one other being left on the battlefield.
Seeing it tremble pathetically Yuki felt slightly bad. Seeing your entire army destroyed within minutes would probably do that to you.
Walking through the carnage Yuki made her way towards to the once powerful and almighty warlord. Yuki's steps were graceful. Every time she took a step the blood beneath her feet was repelled.
Once she reached the Orc she didn't like how she was looking up towards it. Seeing the displeasure in the eyes of the silver-haired monster the Orc immediately fell onto its knees.
Surprised by its actions Yuki stopped herself from instantly decapitating the monster. Staring into to its eyes she was again surprised. Unlike the other monsters, this Orcs eyes held intelligence within them.
Going off a limb Yuki decided to see if the orc could speak. She could see no reason why it couldn't, but she doubted if it could speak any language she could understand.
"Speak." one word was enough to make it tremble like a fawn. Seeing this Yuki suspicions of it being able to understand her increased.
"AAAAHHHHHHH"
A sudden shout came from behind Yuki. Looking back she saw the guild master charging at the orc sword in hand. The fool was radiating greed, however, his eyes had a trace of fear within them?
Seeing the fool approach Shimizu vanished from her spot and reappeared next to the guild master. Sticking her leg out she tripped him up making the fool fall face first into a pile of bloody corpses.
The guild master was shocked. When he saw a figure appear beside him. Totally unprepared he could only watch helplessly as he fell. He tried to stop himself from falling, however, the sword in his hand stopped him from doing so. Landing face first into a pile of corpses he wanted to throw up. The sour and bitter taste of blood had taken over his mouth.
Yuki seeing the fear in the man's eyes questioned why he would be afraid of an unarmed orc. Turning her attention back to the orc she could see a it staring at the guild master with a gaze full of hate. Feeling Yuki's eyes back on him the Orc paled.

"Yo-u-r m-aj-sty." The way it spoke was completely broken and hard to understand, but Yuki understood every word of it. She never thought of the possibility of a monster talking.
"Do you want to kill him?" Yuki's voice was emotionless and her arm was pointing towards the guild master. The question was loud and clear. The guild master who heard the question paled on the spot. He originally wanted to berate the useless maid for tripping him, but after hearing those words he couldn't even speak. He felt his throat drying up and could feel his heart bursting out of his chest.
Just as he was about to ask what the silver-haired girl meant a loud slap echoed throughout the plains. Shimizu was holding the arm of a goblin and had used it to slap the guild master. The guild master was furious. Just as he was about to curse at the maid he was hit again. Feeling his cheeks burn he stared hatefully at Shimizu.
Yuki heard the slaps and ignored the idiot behind her. Her piercing eyes once again fell on the orc.
"Y-your ma-jes-ty." The terrified Orc barely muttered the words, however before it could continue another loud shout came from behind Yuki.
"There's the Orc Warlord. Everyone the guild master has taken care of the enemies let's kill this last one together!"
Rin and Sasha were still standing beside Yuki when they heard her click her tongue in annoyance. Her already cold eyes turned even colder. The temperature was beginning to rapidly drop. They both wanted to deescalate the situation but were afraid of angering the Princess even more.
Yuki turned around and began to release a thick bloodthirsty aura. When the charging adventurers looked at her eyes they all froze in fear. Her golden eyes were shining brightly. Her suffocating aura made it hard to breathe.
"I'm tired of interruptions." Her voice sounded cold and cruel. The adventurers who heard her all shivered in fear. "Last chance. Why did you attack and who sent you," she said to the terrified Orc.
The terrified orc was unable to speak under the oppressive aura so it shakily lifted its arm and pointed at a pile of bloody corpses. Everyone present unconsciously looked towards the direction the Orc pointed towards only to spot a person drenched in blood.

"H-human steal. W-wanted revenge." listening to the orcs words many gasped in disbelief. Yuki scrunched her eyebrows.
Turning to the guild master he squeaked pathetically. There was no reason for the orc to lie. Rank A was normally seen as the rank where monsters began to develop higher intelligence instead of relying purely on instincts. Rank S monsters had intelligence levels that were on par with other species like humans. For this specific Orc to have enough intelligence to speak coherently was a sign that it had reached at least Rank A.
The guild master who knew there was no way out of this still tried to defend himself, but every time he tried to defend himself he was slapped viciously slapped across the face. Shimizu was silencing him. She didn't want to hear a peep from him in case it further annoyed the Princess even further.
Yuki carefully went back to observing the Orc. Its armour looked like it was mass produced. It was quite different from human armour. The initial design was, of course, different as it was made for a different race. The armour itself was greyish in colour and looked well worn. This Orc wasn't a rookie it had fought in many battles before. The chest plate was plain with minimal designs. It also looked like a tight fit for this particular Orc. Again showing that it wasn't made to fit. Not to mention this Orc was 7ft tall and well built. Yuki assumed all Orcs would have gigantic bulging muscles and would probably look similar to the Hulk.
If you took a closer look at the Orcs helmet it had intricate patterns etched into the side of it. The patterns were close to fading but Yuki could decipher them enough to guess that they said something in a different language.
Reaching for the helmet Yuki pulled it off in one swoop. The Orc tried to cover its face but was stopped when it felt something touching its neck. Coming back to its senses it saw the same scythe that was used to murder all of its subordinates was placed at its neck. Unable to resist the orc just let them do whatever they wanted. If today was its last day then so be it.
With the motion of Yuki removing the orcs helmet the face of the orc was fully revealed to everyone. Before only its fangs and black eyes could be seen. The orc had long hair which was previously tied up. With the removal of the helmet, the orcs long black hair was now fluttering in the wind. Its dark black eyes were focused on Yuki. Its face was chiselled. In fact, it's the whole body looked like it was designed for battle. No fat, no unneeded muscles. The Orcs body was built for battle.
Realising that the Orc was actually a female Yuki immediately tried to put her helmet back on, however it was too late.
As the others gazed upon the Orcs face another wave of shock and murmuring began. Listening to some of the voices Yuki furrowed her brows. Some of them whispered on how rare it was to actually see a female Orc Others whispered about how much she would sell for.
Before she could respond Yuki heard the Orc ask a question. "I wish to die as a warrior. I'd be honoured to fight my last battle with your grace." Watching her the already kneeling Orc bow her head even further Yuki thought there was nothing she could lose. In fact, she could gather more information with this fight.
Seeing the Princesses intentions Rin removed her scythe from the Orcs neck and walked back over to Sasha.
The Orc seeing Runs withdrawal assumed her request had been granted. Standing up she retreated a couple of steps and faced the silver-haired woman. Seeing how she barely moved the Orc could only smile wryly. She could have at least stood in her fighting position.
Closing her eyes the Orc took a deep breath. The aura around her hand changed. She would now fight to the death giving her all. No regrets. Snapping her eyes open she charged towards her opponent.

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
