The orcs, with bloodshot eyes and snorting wildly, charged at me, drooling and completely out of control.

“I told you to stay away, you damn b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲! Burn down!”

Skill Name Fire Strike
Class Arc Wizard
Effects Single target Flame Spell.
Shoots out a fireball from the caster’s hand.

A fiery ball, the size of a baseball, shot from my palm and flew toward the lead orc’s chest. The flame, as if drawn to its target, hit the orc’s chest perfectly. Instantly, the orc was engulfed in flames, but the fire from the single target spell spread beyond him, swallowing the other two orcs nearby. In seconds, all three were consumed in a blazing inferno, reduced to ash in a fiery heap.

“That’s what you deserve! How does it feel to be turned into grilled pork?! Hmph!” I said, hands on my hips, looking at the three lumps of charcoal.

“What’s the deal with the Mobs?! Are they a manifestation of lust or something? This is ridiculous! Who in the world would rush in after getting a whiff of a woman? It seems like they’re only thinking about how to get their way! When I see them, I only feel disgust and danger, along with a strange sensation between my legs. It’s probably because I’m in a woman’s body. This is my first time feeling like this! My first girl crisis!”

I held my shoulders, shaking myself.

“Those b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲ are no good! They’re an enemy of all women! I’m going to slay them! Those pigs are going down the moment I see them!” I declared with bloodthirsty eyes as I clenched my fists tightly.

“Wait! Maybe there are more of them nearby!”

I looked up and scanned the area.

“They came from over there…”

With that thought, I leaped into the air to get a better view of the surroundings. From up high, I could see an open space with broken trees about 2 kilometers southeast.

“It’s probably there. I can feel a lot of Mobs there as well. And there’s this awful air about that place! I’m positive they’re there!”

I kept my eyes on the open area as I slowly descended. As I was falling, I held down my skirt so that it wouldn’t fly up. After all, I wasn’t wearing anything underneath right now! The moment I landed, I immediately started running straight toward the place with the awful aura.

As I arrived, my suspicions were confirmed. The open area was indeed a village, situated in a pit about 100 meters in diameter, slightly sunken from the surrounding land. A small cliff loomed up on the eastern side, like a wall enclosing the area.

To the north, there was a mountain, and on this side stood a cliff with a rocky surface that looked as if it had been chipped away over time. Before me, there was a stage slightly elevated from the rest of the area.

In the plaza below, various tents and simple huts had been set up. Suspicious-looking bones and the scattered halves of animals hung haphazardly around, making the place feel strangely alive.

The hut on the stage in front of the northern cliff appeared better constructed than the others, with more decorations hanging around it. It was clear that was where the village chief resided.

The whole place was inhabited by over 200 orcs, making it feel quite chaotic.

I, in turn, stood on the western edge of the village, my eyes focused on a point to the east.

A cliff about two meters high stretched along the east side, and near the northern part of the cliff, there was a recessed area where part of the cliff had been gouged out. A simple shed had been built there, with basic columns supporting a roof and an open front.

Inside the small shed, I could see something moving steadily. The more I looked at it, the more my gaze sharpened.

Without hesitation, I leaped from my position and descended directly in front of the shed.

The impact of my landing sent a shockwave rippling through the area, blowing away the nearby orcs.

The orcs who remained unscathed were stunned by the sudden commotion, their faces filled with confusion. But soon they noticed that a woman was standing in their midst and became visibly excited. They didn’t stop to wonder why I had appeared so suddenly. After all, orcs weren’t smart enough to ask themselves such questions.

The only thing on their minds was that a healthy, available female had just presented herself to them.

At the scent of a woman, the orcs instantly became enraged. Their minds were consumed with one thing—to force themselves on the woman standing before them.

Filled with lust, they lunged at me from every side. Yet I, still focused on the shed with a look of disgust in my eyes, swung my left arm widely as if to shake off the oncoming orcs. Another shockwave exploded from me, sending the orcs flying.

Inside the shed, two orcs were attached to something, moving rhythmically.

Whatever they were attached to had likely once been human. I couldn’t help but wonder how much time had passed since their death. I assumed that the body had undergone some kind of preservation as it wasn’t completely ruined yet, though it was starting to show signs of decay.

Its eye sockets were wide open, and its skin barely clung to the bones. An iron collar was fastened around its neck, with a thick, rusty chain tethering it to an iron stake driven into the ground.

Despite the grotesque state of the corpse, the orcs continued to violate it without mercy.

It was then that one of the orcs, which had been moving gleefully, noticed me. Its gaze shifted toward me, scanning my body from head to toe as if savoring me. In response, its movements became even more frenzied, increasing both in speed and intensity.

The orc’s eyes widened, drool dripping from its mouth.

Rage surged through me, and my mind went blank from the anger.

“You maggots!!!”

I yelled, my brow furrowing deeply; the words came out as if they were wrenched from the depths of my soul. The next moment, the orc’s head exploded, sending brain matter everywhere.

The second orc, startled by the sudden blast, froze in shock, its eyes wide open as it processed the fact that its companion had just been blown apart. Without hesitation, I appeared in front of the headless orc and kicked its body, sending it crashing into its shocked companion. Both bodies were hurled against the cliff, their remains splattering against the rock, leaving a hideous stain on the wall.

It was then that the orc king, the leader of this rotten community, came charging out, drawn by my scent.

He was far larger than the other orcs, towering over two meters tall, his massive frame rippling with muscles that dwarfed the strength of any other maggot in the village.

The moment he saw me, the orc king charged straight at me. He moved with terrifying speed, obliterating any orcs that stood in his path.

Gaining momentum, he jumped high into the air and landed near the shed, trampling any orcs that were beneath him. The few survivors scrambled away, leaving the scene in fear.

Drooling and twisting his face with grotesque delight, the king thrust his aroused self toward me just as I was leaving the shed.

Seeing him, I grew even angrier, my disgust almost palpable.

“You damn maggot! How dare you show your dirty mug in front of me!”

I spat, quickly taking out my two D-rank weapons.

“Die!!!”

Skill Name Final Sonic Breaker
Class Duel Barbarian
Type Ultimate Melee Skill
Effects Unleash a barrage of sword energy strikes that move faster than the speed of sound.

In an instant, several sword energy waves shot forward. But even before the first wave could hit him, the orc king evaporated from the initial wave of my unleashing the skill.

Despite that, the skill did not halt. The energy waves tore through the surrounding earth, shredding every orc nearby and sending the northern cliffs and even the mountain itself crumbling under their force.

In an instant, fifty percent of the village was reduced to rubble.

Some of the orcs stood frozen, stunned by the sudden storm of destruction. Others, realizing what had just happened, panicked and fled in all directions. The remaining 100 or so orcs all fell into chaos.

I glared coldly at the scattering orcs and yelled with contempt.

“You damn maggots! Don’t you dare run!!!”

I leaped and landed in the center of the panicked village. Without hesitation, I unleashed another skill.

“Burn to cinders!!!”

Skill Name Flame Tornado
Class Arc Wizard
Type AoE Flame Skill
Effects Invoke a ring of flames in a wide area starting from the caster.

Immediately, flames swirled around me, spreading out in a circle that engulfed the entire village. The orcs, caught in the superheated blaze, didn’t even have time to scream. In mere moments, they were reduced to nothing but ash, their bodies crumbling without a trace.

The intense heat from the flames caused a massive updraft, and the wind rushed into the square from all directions. It gathered the ashes and swept them away, erasing any evidence that a village had once been here.

The complete annihilation took less than two minutes following my arrival.

After looking around to ensure no traces of the orcs were left in the pit, I walked away and headed back to the small shed. It was the only area that was untouched by the flames, as if they had deliberately avoided it.

The small shed was also still here, completely intact. After entering the shed, I kneeled beside the corpse.

With a delicate touch, I broke the iron collar holding the chain with my fingertips and gently brushed away the sparse hair from the face, which I believed had once belonged to a beautiful woman.

“I’m sorry. If I’d only come earlier… If I’d only managed to stop them from bringing you here… You must have been so scared, so full of hate, so frustrated… I’m sorry. It’s okay now. They’re all gone. I’ll take you outside…”

I couldn’t hold back my tears. I wasn’t sure where these tears were coming from. I wasn’t sure why, but my mind was overwhelmed with sadness and frustration, and my tears just wouldn’t stop. As the tears ran down my face, I gently lifted the corpse and carried it to the center of the pit.

Afterward, I found three other corpses, all in a similar state, inside the small shed.

Along with them, there were several scattered objects that looked like human bones. After gathering everything, I brought them to the center of the pit and arranged them carefully.

“I’m sorry, this is the most I can do right now.”

I said, spreading my arms and conjuring a flame above the bodies.

I then lit the pyre to try and offer the souls of the women a peaceful release from the horrific fate they had endured. I imagined the flames leaving my palm in a similar way to how I controlled chi. As I did, gentle, pure flames, infused with my silver-like chi, mixed and rose from the earth to cleanse away all impurities.

Slowly but surely, the bodies were reduced to fine, clean white ashes. Kneeling beside the remains, I scooped up the ashes with both hands and lifted them toward the sky.

“I bet you wouldn’t want to rest here. I pray that you find your way home…”

Scoop by scoop, I lifted the ashes into the air, letting the wind carry them away.
