The Chieftain of the lizardmen lived inside a huge cave-like structure, and it was currently shaking as Yuki faced the nervous chieftain with Ranga and Souei standing next to him

"Human, I heard of you from my reckless son, I would have offered you my proper apologies for his misbehavior but we really do not have any time for it" Said the lizardmen chief, and Yuki nodded at him seriously

"Don't worry Lizard, your son's behavior has no effect on how I view the other lizards"

"We are lizardmen!" Replied a lizard woman beside the chieftain, and Yuki couldn't help but stare at her curiously "that's what I said"

"No, you—" That woman tried to argue but the chieftain dismissed her with a wave of his hand and said "This is not the time for arguing, please help us deal with these orcs, my son and soldiers spoke very highly of you"

Yuki nodded at them with a smile before he started rubbing his hands like a freaking fly and said " Sure, but I want…"

After a grueling round of negotiations, the lizardmen chieftain reluctantly agreed to Yuki's request which included becoming part of their settlement in the future before he said "Please help my dying people now"

"Sure, it's easy—" Said Yuki with a face full of confidence but he suddenly froze as a notification appeared in front of him

[Quest: blood and sweat]

[Quest Description: Host has been getting arrogant ever since he gained the ability to evolve his abilities so the system decided to give him a reality check.]

[Quest reward: Skill: Desperation strike]

[Quest punishment: Lose the path of evolution ability]

The chieftain, Souei, and Ranga noticed the sudden shift in Yuki's mood as his face turned blue and he had a look as if he was constipated…

'And here I was thinking how come you didn't strike for so long, you were just waiting for the right timing' thought Yuki hatefully and a notification suddenly started loading in front of him…

'What? Are you trying to help me out?' Thought Yuki hopefully but when the loading stopped, it transformed into a text that simply said [Get fucked]

'I swear I will fucking destroy this system one day' thought Yuki with rage overflowing from his body, before he accepted the mission and he felt an overwhelming weakness covering his body as he lost all of his abilities including his diamond body and immortal stand and what not…

'This is bad, I can feel my body getting weaker and weaker as magic keeps leaving it… is this what happens to me when I go to a world without magic?' Thought Yuki before he checked his status window

[Description: You were extremely strong, but now you are back to square one…]

Previously thanks to the enhancement of magic, Yuki's attributes were enhanced to terrifying degrees, his strength alone reached +300! But now, he was back to square one, and to add salt t injury, he had to fight alone and kill at least 10000 orcs which all had attributes higher than his other than speed…

'Fucking system, you think you are smart, well too bad for you I am not dying any time soon' thought Yuki before he took out a potion and drank it directly and he felt strength rushing through his body as his attributes rose again immensely.

This was the same potion he asked Rimuru to improve upon and it instantly granted him +40 strength, +10 Speed, and + 40 vitality!

'Even now, I'm barely better than these orcs in terms of body… Fuck it I will go all out, if I die, I die' thought Yuki before he started walking away and Souei who noticed the weird change to Yuki's body couldn't help but ask "Yuki-sama, is everything okay?"

"Like hell anything is okay… Tch, Go assist the lizardmen into organizing themselves, I have a few pigs to butcher" Replied Yuki with an annoyed look as he took out both of his demonic swords and they started shining with a demonic bloody light that reflected Yuki's eerie eyes…

"I need to report this quickly" muttered Souei as he sent a clone to inform Rimuru and the rest to hurry up while he went to observe Yuki…

….

A sea of orcs greeted Yuki and they madly rushed through the lizardmen killing them left and right…

Yuki's hand shivered slightly, different from the time he was looking at these pigs from high above on top of his wind eagle and could easily crush them, now any of these orcs could pose a threat to his life if they land a direct hit on him…

"If I survive this… I will definitely make these orcs work to death!" Yelled Yuki showing how impossible it is to correct his twisted mind even in the face of death before he rushed at the ogres and instantly used his conqueror's Haki and covered an area of 100 meters around him…

However, the orcs only paused for an instant before they turned toward him and rushed at him with their huge axes ready to chop him up!

'No effect at all… I wish I had the increase to my will from immortal stand…' thought Yuki before he dodged an orc's attack and cut off its hand with his sword, but the orc didn't seem to have felt any pain as it instantly caught Yuki with its other hand and 5 axes came slashing down at the two of them from all directions…

"Fuck me" Thought Yuki before he quickly used a frozen snare to hold them in place before he chopped off their heads

'At least I still have my skills—' thought Yuki but he didn't have any time to rejoice because as if they were possessed, orcs smelled the blood of their fallen comrades and rushed at Yuki's direction with even more fervor…

Seeing Yuki faced with a predicament, Dariun was surprised but he decided to help anyways and tried to rip them apart with his wind slashes, but a golden barrier appeared in front o him from out of nowhere and blocked all of his attacks…

If Yuki saw this, he would have realized that it was the same barrier that blocked his neighbors and Emilia from helping during his impossible chain quest…

"COME YOU DAMN PIGS" Yelled Yuki with a face full of rage before he readied himself into a fighting stance but just as they got near him, he immediately kicked the corpse of one of the orcs at them which triggered their starvation and they instantly started devouring him and he used this chance to finish them off one by one by striking at the unprotected spots between their armor…

"It seems I'm still a good actor, however I still have 9990 more orcs to kill…" Thought Yuki as he kept using this same tactic and successfully killed more than 100 orcs and the lizardmen as well started mimicking him and found success in it which raised their morale.

However, Gelmud who was controlling the orc lord also noticed this and instantly ordered the orc lord to issue a specific command for the army of orcs that were connected like a hive thanks to the unique skill starved one.

"First we kill, Then we feast!" a simple command, but it worked wonders in changing the behavior of the orcs as Yuki found out that they became much more resistant to their hunger, albeit with an increased loss of their sanity in return as they kept attacking their enemies mindlessly from all directions.

At this point, Yuki kept spamming both Aura of corruption and dark strike whenever it was off cooldown to finish off the orcs with the fastest speed possible, he also frequently used frozen snare and quick step whenever he finds himself completely surrounded, and just like this, in around 10 minutes, he actually killed 1000 Orcs… and considering he can move at 22 times the speed of a normal human, it was barely manageable.

However, despite him being an abnormal human, in the end he was still a human prone to fatigue, and different from his mana that he kept regenerating from the endless negative emotions and the natural mana present in the world, he had no way of regenerating his stamina…

"Ahh Ahh Ahh" Yuki panted heavily, however just the thought of losing his path of evolution ability kept giving him strength, however, at some point when he killed his 2000th orc, he felt his swords were to heavy and he couldn't even lift them from the ground…

'Should I bail on this mission and sacrifice my ability?' thought Yuki as ten Orcs approached him with bloodthirsty looks in their completely red eyes but he quickly used his strong soul to manipulate one of his swords that he planted in the ground behind them and chopped their heads with his telekinesis…

'They won't fall for this trick twice' thought Yuki with a tired smile on his face but the voice of the world suddenly spoke in his head

[You acquired the extra skill enhanced stamina recovery]

'Great, maybe with this I can win and finish this stupid quest' thought Yuki, but just as he got his hopes up, a notification appeared in front of him

[No, no, no Dear host, no abilities are allowed remember?]

Despite his very tired body, Yuki still managed to yell "FUCK YOUUUUUU" and his conqueror's Haki was automatically unleashed! This time, it even caused some of the Orcs to faint and they were instantly devoured by their fellow comrades

[Congratulation host, your conqueror's Haki had increased by 2 levels!] a notification appeared in front of him, but Yuki ignored it and his thoughts raced to find a solution

'This is my only bet' he thought before he opened his quests window and noticed that the fourth task of his current chain quest that required him to kill 1000 enemies was completed so he instantly accepted it and a notification soon appeared in front of him

[Congratulations host, you have gained the ability wicked thought. Host has greatly overperformed and you have gained 3 skill points]

'That's it' Thought Yuki before he instantly put all 7 of his skill points into his aura of corruption rising it all the way to level 8 before he laid there peacefully…

"I dare any of you motherfuckers to approach me now…" muttered Yuki with a wicked smile on his blood-stained face...
