One Hive Class Apocalid transformed rapidly.
Its torso shrank, and its mouth grew smaller.
Legs sprouted like a tadpole and grew quickly.
Overall, it resembled a terrestrial Apocalid.
When scythe claws appeared on its upper legs, it looked like a giant Battle Titan.
“I’ve never seen this before.”
Back then, Lutal had once triggered the evolution of a Giant entity.
At that time, he’d chosen among three options, but this time Ku-eong’s will was so strong that it was fixed to one.
“Ku-eong.”
Ku-eong wanted Lutal to control it.
Among the countless Apocalids, only Lutal had the combat experience and ability to fight a Dimension Kuragal with that body.
According to Ku-eong’s calculations, this was a more efficient combat method, so Lutal readily stepped in.
Honestly, there weren’t any special issues.
All it took was implanting Lutal’s memories and consciousness into that body.
“It’s a giant Lutal. Can it use Death Blade too?”
The giant Lutal opened its eyes.
It tested Death Blade.
Death Blades formed on its two large scythe claws.
“So it became a Special Individual just like when I or Lutal did it.”
The nutrient consumption was also enormous.
It was 100 times that of a Hive Class of similar size.
“It’s much more complex and powerful, so that makes sense.”
The giant Lutal wagged its tail and moved forward.
It wasn’t as fast as when it had a Booster attached.
Still, it wasn’t slow thanks to its dimensional sea navigation ability and the Evolution Code called Distortion Flight.
“You’ve grown too!”
The Dimension Kuragal recognized from Lutal’s aura that this was the entity that had sliced him up before.
He was already bored from not being able to have a proper brawl.
He greeted it like meeting a friend, and for an orc, a welcome greeting meant throwing a punch first.
Kwoong!
The punch aimed at Lutal’s head didn’t connect.
It was blocked by the scythe claw, and the other scythe claw scraped the Kuragal’s left side.
Kadeudeudeuk.
Sparks flew between the rock hardened by the Orc’s Will and the scythe claw. Chunks of earth bounced off like bullets, floating through the dimensional sea.
“This is fun! So fun!”
The Dimension Kuragal tore off its right leg and attached it to its missing shoulder.
The rock on its new right arm crumbled into an axe.
It grabbed the axe with both hands and swung wildly.
Kwak! Kwak! Kwak! Kwak! Kwak! Kwak!
Lutal blocked easily.
It used its three extra legs and tail to push the Dimension Kuragal back.
Meanwhile, Ku-eong prepared the Dimension Catapult.
It quickly restored the vacuum tube that had melted from firing three times in a row and prepared a blunt-nosed projectile.
Upon impact with the target, the front would crumple, transferring the full impact force.
Even though they were locked in combat, aiming wasn’t a problem.
Ku-eong knew every move Lutal would make.
Ku-eong opened its mouth.
Lutal tried to rotate left with the Dimension Kuragal as the axis.
The moment it had that thought, the Dimension Catapult fired.
The projectile passed near Lutal’s right side and struck the Dimension Kuragal’s left shoulder.
Kwaaaaaaaaaang!
A huge crater formed on the Dimension Kuragal’s upper body.
Knocked back by the impact, Lutal followed and drew an X twice with its scythe claws.
Seook seook seook! Seok!
The head, both arms, and left leg fell off.
An arm shot out from the empty torso, grabbed the head, and reattached it to its original spot.
“I won’t lose this time!”
Seok.
Lutal calmly cut off that head and the newly grown arm.
“Aaaargh!”
The Kuragal inside the Dimension Kuragal’s chest screamed.
Lutal confirmed its location and dug into that spot.
The Dimension Kuragal’s chest caved in.
Soon, the Kuragal’s form was revealed.
The Kuragal faced the giant Lutal.
Despite its overwhelming size, it felt no fear and burned with fighting spirit.
The Kuragal burst out from inside the Dimension Kuragal.
The Orc’s Will wrapped around its body, and it became a giant Kuragal, closer to a spiritual entity like before.
Lutal swung its scythe claws.
A slash targeting the neck, elbows, knees, and chest simultaneously.
The giant Kuragal spun its body and deflected all of Lutal’s scythe claws.
It was much faster and stronger than when it was a Dimension Kuragal.
Still, Lutal didn’t fall behind.
That was thanks to its veteran experience.
Whenever it seemed slightly pushed back, it received help from Breath and Bio Torpedoes.
Ku-eong fired the Dimension Catapult.
The projectile flew at an insane speed.
It should deliver as much impact as that speed.
But the projectile pierced through the giant Kuragal harmlessly.
“Need help?”
“Ku-eong.”
Ku-eong answered that help wasn’t needed.
“What are you planning to do?”
“Ku-eong.”
The Central Suction Giants flew in.
Since they were based on Giants, they flew well through the dimensional sea.
“Oh, so that’s what you have.”
The giant Kuragal could be considered a mass of energy, and the Central Suction Giants could absorb any kind of energy.
The Central Suction Giants latched onto various parts of the giant Kuragal.
They bit or stabbed with scythe claws and absorbed energy.
It was obvious that the giant Kuragal was shrinking.
“Reminds me of mosquitoes.”
Since becoming an Outer Mind, Choi Kangjoong had never allowed a mosquito to bite him.
His skin was too tough to be bitten in the first place.
If he released small Lutals, they would take care of them on their own.
“Annoying things!”
The giant Kuragal slapped its thigh with its palm.
It looked like swatting a mosquito.
Seok.
Lutal cut upward with its middle leg.
The giant Kuragal’s arm was severed, and a Central Suction Giant flew in to absorb that energy.
The large arm vanished in an instant.
“That one alone would be enough to make one Super Titan.”
The shrunken giant Kuragal grew again.
Since there were still hundreds of millions of orcs fighting in this sea area, there was plenty of combat will to maintain the giant Kuragal.
The Central Suction Giants kept absorbing energy.
If they were about to be hit by the giant Kuragal’s palm, they quickly flew away.
Lutal either blocked or warned them, so no Central Suction Giant died.
Jjo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ok.
Watching the Central Suction Giants clinging to the giant Kuragal, Choi Kangjoong felt like he could hear that sound.
“It’s making me itch.”
Choi Kangjoong scratched his perfectly fine skin for no reason.
“If only the other orcs would disappear.”
Choi Kangjoong watched how the Apocalids fought the orcs.
They were fighting fine, so there was nothing more to see.
“I’ll just do something else until they’ve eaten them all.”
Choi Kangjoong lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
—
Graduat was a Hyper Ultra Great Boss.
He was strong enough to occupy one sea area and attack others.
But he was merely a subordinate of Kuragal.
Despite being bullied and beaten every day, he never left Kuragal.
The reason was simple.
Kuragal was strong.
What other orc could single-handedly break through tens of millions of enemies and smash the command structure?
Only Kuragal could concentrate the orcs’ combat will to become giant.
Smitten by Kuragal, Graduat declared himself Kuragal’s right arm.
He regarded Kuragal as the God of Orcs and himself as Kuragal’s second-in-command.
Even though there were stronger orcs, it was still fun.
The golem race he had long competed with became rubble.
He captured and devoured all the elves beside them.
The orcs next door broke their boss’s head and absorbed all the orcs.
Victory after victory.
For an orc, nothing was more exciting.
So Graduat had no doubt they would win this battle too.
Even though orcs died in droves from Kuragal’s bizarre commands, with Kuragal around, hitting and destroying enemies was easier than chewing goblins.
It had to be that way.
The battle started like any other.
Whether in the dimension or the dimensional sea, countless orcs died from the enemies’ ranged attacks.
That happened every time.
“Close in! You have to close in to fight!”
Some orcs fled before even getting close due to the tremendous firepower.
Then the bosses threw them forward or smashed their skulls.
The orcs pushed forward bit by bit, and finally, the annoying thorn-shooting things came close.
The orcs leaped.
Each one was grinning at the thought of breaking through the hard shells.
But what got destroyed were the orcs’ torsos.
Large and small things bursting from underground tore and split them.
“Send the pig bastards!”
The shackles of the Giant Dimension Boars, which had grown huge by eating everything in sight, were released.
Having lived with orcs for so long, their insides were no different from orcs.
They were already excited and only wanted to charge.
Kwoong! Kwoong! Kwoong! Kwoong! Kwoong! Kwoong!
The smallest one was 100 meters tall at the shoulder, making it look like moving mountains.
One hundred of them charged simultaneously.
Graduat laughed in advance.
With that reckless, suicidal charge, the small ones would be trampled.
But his expectations were soon shattered.
An incredibly large enemy appeared and turned the Giant Dimension Boars into chunks of meat.
The charge that seemed to fill the sea ended hollowly, but Graduat was satisfied.
Because the large ones’ rampage had thrown the enemy’s formation into disarray.
“Now it’s orc time!”
Fighting in a tangled mess where you couldn’t tell friend from foe was an orc specialty.
Even the ones fleeing now turned back when such a fight broke out.
Orcs who wanted to fight crossed over through the Gates.
No race had ever overcome the orcs replenishing like this.
If Kuragal eliminated the enemy command, victory was certain.
Graduat raised his head, squinted, and surveyed the dimensional sea.
The orcs were riding on the enemy’s backs and fighting.
What was Kuragal doing?
By now, he should be killing the enemy captain and laughing.
“Huh?”
Graduat rubbed his eyes.
Kuragal’s situation was the exact opposite of his expectation.
He looked like an orc being drained by a blood-sucking monster.
A giant monster was cutting off his arms and legs.
“Boss! The enemy isn’t breaking through! What should we do?”
An Orc Boss asked.
Graduat’s head spun.
This had never happened since he joined under Kuragal.
“Boss! The pig bastards are all dead!”
“Boss! Those guys are running away!”
“Boss! The goblin bastards are whining for food!”
“Shut up!”
Graduat thrust out his fist.
Several Orc Bosses were smashed at once.
“You lot, hurry up and kill those things!”
Graduat kicked the Orc Bosses.
The Orc Bosses rubbed their butts, went to fight, and collapsed.
“This isn’t right…”
The enemy seemed like a race born to kill orcs.
Even using Orc Launchers didn’t shake them at all, and even with a stupid charge, they held firm.
A terrifying bombardment swept the rear orcs, and something fired by the biggest one split the dimension.
“Why did it turn out like this?”
After pondering deeply, Graduat soon reached a conclusion.
“Yeah! Kuragal wasn’t the God of Orcs!”
Graduat raised his axe high.
“From now on, I’m the boss! Anyone who doesn’t follow me dies!”
All orcs who questioned him were executed by Graduat’s axe.
Graduat led the orcs that followed him and attacked and subdued the orcs that hadn’t betrayed yet.
Similar things happened all over the orc camp.
