He laughed as if he was unhinged, his eyes filled with his usual madness. Those who saw him felt the chill on their bodies. Their minds filled with quiet fear.What... was this mad person planning to do now! Even without telling them anything, the speculators all ran from the way. Even Captain Mera shuddered and covered herself with the shield of purple light.Quinn’s eyes continued to gleam. Why should he control anything?His hands were trembling as if he carried an intense weight. His head felt as if it might finally explode. His bones quaked and shook. His flesh trembled.Void users need to have tight control? Fuck that!Quinn brought his hand down, his veins like tight wires against his skin and blood dripping faster from his nose.The Void energy twisted and rippled like the face of an angry storm. The energy warped into one single thing. A claw, it looked like a Dragon’s one.It came down on Amros like a hammer, its speed akin to that of lightning.Amros shook and all his balls

They couldn’t see the Dungeon from the outside, but they found themselves inside.In a large chamber that burned with low light.Quinn, Captain Mera, and Amros.It was only the three of them.They looked around. The chamber seemed like the receiving hall of some nobles and it was actually in good condition. A stair led up, and as Quinn remembered it, there was a total of eight floors, and every one contained different types of monsters.As far as Dungeons went, it was a really basic one. Quinn’s job was to know the type of monsters on each floor and to divert their attention."I don’t know, my lord." Captain Mera frowned. "This is a really weak and basic Dungeon. You won’t be rewarded with anything good in here."If we divert a little, we can visit nearby Dungeons in the outposts when we’re returning. Those that your family controls."Right.Dungeons were really profitable and were also one of the main sources of the Drakemont’s wealth in the past. Come to think of it, the reason they

"My uncle is the one stationed here permanently. He’s the guard against the Empire... and the Dragon." Ragna smiled. Ever since they entered their territory, his mood had improved as his spirit lifted.The trip back at the Drakemont had ended in total failure as things took unexpected turns. But now, they were back, and he was all smiles again.Quinn looked at him.Lord Ragna was not strong himself. In fact, what made him terrifying was his brain. He knew how to plot, and it did him a lot of good because, in his past life, the Orc had actually begun the conquering of other Clans.If it came down to a fight between them, then Quinn could kill him with a sneeze.What he was more worried about was the guard that was following him around. Captain Salva, the one who got the title of Dragon Killer in his past life.’... Throughout this trip, this bastard didn’t show any of his real power, but still. I wonder how things are going to play out... Ragna... I’m finally in your hands, what are yo

Quinn and all the humans were deeply astonished. For an instant there, they all felt real danger, as if their lives were on the line.As if the Orcs were ready to slaughter them.Surprisingly, or maybe not so, Lord Ragna seemed at ease, as if none of what was happening was affecting him at all. He even produced a small smile."Thank you, Commander. I accept the First General’s greeting and welcome."The Commander grunted and swung back onto his mount. With a wave of his hand, a part cleared and two hyenas were brought forward."The General has prepared mounts for you and our guests to ride into the fortress. The First General declares that the humans are welcome here!"It was then, and only then, that the Commander turned to look at Quinn.’... Welcome? You all look like you can’t wait to tear off my head. But I appreciate the gesture of throwing a welcoming hand and all. Thank you so much, Commander...’Quinn did what he knew how to do best. He smiled, his thoughts hidden behind his

"My lord, I don’t think you should do this..." Captain Mera began.But the Commander reacted immediately. He snorted loudly. "Ah! Are you that type of man who is tied to women? You humans are so tainted that you even allow women to lead you in battles while you hide behind them!"Captain Mera stiffened, and her eyes flashed with a dangerous light. She opened her mouth, but Quinn put a gentle hand on her. He smiled. "What you said is simply the truth. I remember when one of our Drakemont women, who was the Dragon Lord, led cowering men into this same wilderness."Quinn frowned slightly as if he was trying to remember something. "I can’t remember her name. Come to think of it, a lot of our Dragon Lords, men or women, always seem to do it. Must be a bad habit of ours."The Commander was stunned, and he wasn’t the only one. All the Orcs looked at Quinn with shock until their expressions twisted and killing intent surged from them.Even Ragna’s smile had turned strained.Just then, Quinn l

Ragna and Quinn rode together.But almost immediately, Ragna’s mount sped up and created space between them. The Commander quietly and smoothly disappeared among the ranks of the warriors with his men, leaving only the diplomatic group alone to continue following Quinn.At the same time, the warriors began to shout the name of their clan."Tarakis!""Tarakis!""Tarakis!""Tarakis!"The shouting was far from what the warriors did outside the fortress gate. This time, it was as if the sound was coming from the ground, the sky, and all around them.So strong it shook the ground and made pebbles tremble. It was an impressive chant that penetrated the body to the bones. It terrified the enemies and made the allies bold of heart.Captain Mera’s expression turned unsightly. The way the warriors stood atop their hyenas, looking down on her and everyone, made them twitch with irritation.She wasn’t the only one. All the humans felt smaller than usual, and the chant from the warriors wasn’t hel

The tension between them was thick enough to be cut with a sword. They stared at each other, red eyes against red eyes. The First General’s aura surged and the pressure around him increased.But still, Quinn did not look away.He smiled slowly and continued to rub the head of the monster. "Slumping Dragon and crouching Giant.""What?" the First General asked, his eyes like hot coal.Quinn shrugged. "We are the slumbering Dragon. The Giant is the Empire. And they both turn in the same direction."The First General understood his meaning and grunted.The Empire is the Empire, and it is powerful, while the Orcs are not as united as before.If the Warbine attacked the Empire, then there was no doubt that they would be crushed. Then the other High Clans would band together to fight the Empire and reap the benefits the Warbine left behind.That was the same thing that was happening with the Drakemont and the Western Region.But the question is... what if the High Clans have united without o

Salva wanted to turn and leave immediately, but something stayed his hand and he gritted his teeth. "Tell me. Tell me what you know. And if you are telling lies, I will cut off one of your fingers here and now."His face and tone were completely serious, and red light flickered around his body as he showed his true power level, which was almost above Captain Mera’s.In a way, he might even be more powerful than her. To achieve that level of power in such a short number of years is not only impressive, it must be a testament to his aptitude.Captain Mera tensed. She was the only one in the room besides the two of them, but Salva ignored her entirely."But you will not believe me, Captain Salva. Let’s see. It would have been better to use this for my bargaining with Lord Ragna, but it seems he already made up his mind on what to do."So, I will deal with you instead, Salva."Quinn smiled. "Your father is..."…When Salva left the room, his face was completely expressionless, but inside

He also adopted the solemn tone that Quinn used. "Lord Quinn! We Orcs are honorable, and promises will be upheld! But we must also observe your worthiness!"One does not come before the other, and one does not disturb the other! Or are you saying we Orcs are not honorable?"Instantly, the atmosphere of the room turned sour as everyone focused on Quinn, and he almost grimaced.’...Ragna... you are good with your words...’Quinn had nothing more to say, and so he bowed his head. "The Orcs are honorable."Ragna nodded with a pleased expression, and then he gestured.The ground of the hall flared with red light, and the area directly in front of the platform shuddered as it opened up, revealing a concealed fighting pit."This is a place where you can prove how worthy you are. We are Orcs, we hear with our axe and spilled blood! We give ears to the voice of the strong that has shown himself!"The Orcs cheered, more drinks flowed, and they began to demand more meat and females. Their eyes s

Quinn’s eyes lit up. "What reward will you give me for each challenge won?"The First General frowned as if he was thinking about something, then he nodded. "I will personally reward you from my personal stash of artifacts. But that means you must defeat all of the seven challengers!"Quinn did not need to hear more as he smiled widely. "I agree!"Meanwhile, the diplomatic group was feeling uneasy with the way their lord accepted things so quickly.Some of the Orcs were also shocked, and they could not figure out if Quinn was that confident or if he was just shameless.The First General clapped. "All those who are in the second rank of bloodline are allowed to participate!"Just then, Ragna leaned forward and whispered something that made the First General raise his brows. He grunted, looking even more interested. "I will choose those who will be participating!"What Ragna told him was about the shocking firepower that Quinn unleashed. Ordinary rank two obviously could not stand a cha
