Shuna, Shion, and others, who had been swept up by the wind and moved from the front lines to the rear, witnessed a terrifying scene.
Fireballs descending from the sky shattered, like meteors falling to the earth, crashing down on the heads of the front-line Pig-Headed Soldiers.
After an unstoppable, scorching high temperature covered the area, it incinerated the active enemies.
And the ground they stood on directly melted, turning into a flowing lava, like the end of the world.
"The hog race's front-line soldiers… completely annihilated."
Gobta confirmed this fact.
Ranga, standing to one side, looked up at the sky.
"A new attack is coming!"
Gabiru also looked up, feeling a burst of scattering wind currents whistling across the battlefield!
To maintain the battle line, tens of thousands of Pig-Headed Soldiers decided to bypass the lava area and continue attacking Jura Forest under the leadership of the Orc Demon Lord.
But their fate was no different from their previous comrades.
"Something is moving…"
Shion narrowed her eyes, staring at the changes on the battlefield.
As she said, something was trembling in the void.
"It's the same wind that carried us away before, but this time… it's not for support."
Izawa Shizue immediately understood the situation.
A turbulent current of wind roared into existence.
It carried with it a terrifying power that could sever all things, blowing towards the hog race's rear guard, unit 587.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
The Pig-Headed Soldiers' armor, shields, and weapons were all useless; they were annihilated in the blink of an eye, with no signs of resistance.
"Too strong!"
Benimaru witnessed the entire process, and only then did he truly realize why Chen Hai was able to bestow names upon everyone.
His strength, surpassing all others, was the fundamental reason he could change everyone's fate.
Gabiru now raised his spear high, cheering, "This is what the hog race deserves! Go, Chen Hai!"
For the Dragonewt Race, the hog race's invasion of the forest concerned the fate of their entire race.
Now that Chen Hai completely crushed the hog race, it was certain that this war would result in victory.
"I thought it would be an issue that my clansmen didn't arrive in time to participate in this battle, but now it seems there's no need to worry at all..."
Gabiru had left earlier to tell the Lizardmen to prepare for battle.
But what happened?
His clansmen didn't come, and the war began early with Chen Hai leading the charge.
Hearing his brother say this, Souka couldn't help but add, "Maybe even we are superfluous..."
At these words, Benimaru, Shuna, Shion, and Shizue looked at each other.
Souka's statement was not without reason.
As things stood, Chen Hai alone could take on an army of 200,000 hog race members.
After all, he had just eliminated tens of thousands of Pig-Headed Soldiers in only half a minute... Even if there were more, Chen Hai would probably only need less than ten minutes to rout the enemy.
"Now there's only one left."
Treyni, the Treant, who had not participated in the battle but had been providing support from the rear, arrived at the scene.
Her gaze shifted to the northwest side of the wetland area, where the strong aura everyone sensed was particularly intense.
Its true form was the leader of the hog race—the Orc Demon Lord!

"Roar—!!!"
The Orc Demon Lord, a giant beast whose size was comparable to a small hill, witnessed his clansmen being instantly killed like wheat. Horrifying rage burned in his crimson eyes.
He let out a roar, glaring furiously at Chen Hai, with an expression that wanted to tear him to shreds.
"How dare you kill so many of my clansmen! I will tear you to pieces! I will devour everything you possess!!"
The Orc Demon Lord's voice was like thunder, deafening.
Chen Hai's expression, however, was very calm.
In his view, the otherworld was inherently a place where the strong preyed on the weak.
The hog race destroyed Shuna and Shion's villages, so they naturally had to pay the price.
This was not 'blood for blood,' but simply 'administering punishment.'
For this—
Chen Hai's 'gaze' in the air calmly fell upon the roaring Orc Demon Lord, like a god looking down on an ant.
After instantly killing fifty thousand hog race members and obtaining the 'Demon Lord' title, Chen Hai was ready to end this farce.
"I don't care about your past or your reasons for acting; I only care about your current identity—an enemy."
Chen Hai did not have the 'let's all live in harmony' mindset of the Demon Lord.
He simply acted according to his own rules.
"You are useless now."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Hai made no substantial movements.
But space itself began to twist and fold.
The ground beneath the Orc Demon Lord's feet suddenly shattered.
Facing the Orc Demon Lord, who possessed fire resistance, the power Chen Hai mobilized was a storm that severed space itself.
At this moment, the Orc Demon Lord's massive body instantly sank into the center of the shattered earth.
The armor he wore was cut open.
His tough skin and Demon Lord-level flesh were also rendered useless at this moment, instantly destroyed.
The enraged Demon Lord began to struggle, his hooves treading on the quicksand-like ground, unable to exert any force.
"Wasting time!!"
The Orc Demon Lord roared, and the converging power around him, like a personification of 'the hungry,' began to gnaw at the earth shredded by the wind blades.
However, Chen Hai merely gently raised his 'hand'—but it was not a physical entity.
Instead, it was the power of destruction, strengthened through the passive skill 'Almighty Genius (Anomaly): Can learn all observed magic and techniques, making them more fundamental.'
Buzz—!
Root-level flames penetrated the Orc Demon Lord's body;
The gaping wounds were filled with the all-tearing storm!
In an instant—
Violent fire elements incinerated everything within the Orc Demon Lord's body;
Terrifying currents of wind transformed into a world-shredding tornado, destroying all of the Orc Demon Lord's internal organs.
"Ugh ah ah ah—!!!"
The Orc Demon Lord let out an inhuman shriek, his massive body convulsing violently.
Countless fissures appeared on his body, spewing forth destructive power mixed with flames, fierce winds, and flesh.
The Orc Demon Lord's proud regeneration ability was useless at this moment.
Because the injuries to his body were covered and destroyed by new attacks before they could regenerate.
Chen Hai looked at the Orc Demon Lord's twisted body and casually snapped his fingers.
The sound was remarkably clear even amidst the clamor of the battlefield.
Snap!
With that crisp snap, the runaway root-level power within the Orc Demon Lord was completely unleashed!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dull 'plop' sound, as if a balloon had been pricked.
That once arrogant giant beast, like a sandcastle poked, instantly disintegrated and collapsed.
Its massive body turned into a mist of blood, dispersing in the air.
And all of this was merely the most commonly used basic skill.
The entire process, from the Orc Demon Lord charging out, to its being toyed with, internally disintegrated, and finally turning into a mist of blood, happened in the blink of an eye.
The Pig-Headed Soldiers watched their leader easily defeated, all showing expressions of terror and confusion.
They had now completely failed.
And the one who instantly killed the Orc Demon Lord, the strongest person at this moment, Chen Hai, would decide the future fate of the hog race.
