Crimson Overlord

Chapter 206 Enemies Working Together 1

A gigantic figure appeared behind Lilith; this figure wore a crimson robe, she was blindfolded, with beautiful dark hair, and six pairs of black wings. 

Fear gripped Snow's heart; even the ghost-like figures summoned through Purgatory seemed afraid before this thing swung the giant sword in her hands.

KABOOM! 

Snow's purgatory was cleaved alongside the mountain behind her. 

Snow's figure disappeared, then the whole floor trembled before as if it was about to disappear before stabilizing. Snow was completely wretched, kneeling while Lilith was breathing heavily.

After panting for a while Lilith approached Snow with a murderous intent but upon getting closer she had a change of heart simply because her instinct warned her that she could die if she were to attempt to get rid of this girl.

"!"

A chill crawled up her spine as she realized what would happen if she were to ignore this warning and in the end, Lilith sighed and decided to postpone getting rid of this woman for later.

''You are sure lucky.'' She left those words behind ignoring Snow who had been glaring at her despite her current sorry state. Like this, their second confrontation ended up in Lilith's victory albeit she couldn't finish her enemy as she normally does.

Leaning against a nearby tree, Lilith decided to take a quick nap for her body to recover from the injury of the fight. She closed her eyes putting her consciousness on a temporary pause.

One hour later, both women have recuperated enough to move, so they moved toward the next floor without uttering a word.

Spark could be seen flying between them, both equally stubborn to ask for trust to cooperate. Both were thinking of doing their thing on their own.

The second floor was a forest. The forest was vast, radiant, and lush. Its canopy was claimed by crab apple, larch, and cedar, their leaves and branches allowed for just enough light to pass down for a diversity of bushes to cultivate the crunchy layer of leaves below.

Swooping climbing plants dangled from a couple of trees, and a range of flowers, which desperately tried to avoid the shadows, added some color to the otherwise mundane view.

A variation of beastly noises, which were caused by foraging animals, brightened up the forest and added to the sounds of the occasional sounds of breaking twigs beneath the feet of larger animals.

As soon as they entered the forest, a thick fog appeared surrounding them and reducing their sight.

[Defeat the Giant Orc]

Lilith moved like lightning ignoring Snow who immediately went after her but because her injuries had not completely healed she couldn't catch up, leaving Lilith to arrive faster.

Giant Orc.

A Giant Orc over three meters. Naturally, the strength that this huge body could showcase was beyond description.

They could tear a Troll apart with their bare hands, and when they were in a group, they wouldn't even avoid fighting an Ogre.

But the really scary thing about Giant Orcs wasn't their physical ability.

The truly horrific thing about them was their Troll-like vitality and the fact that once they found prey, they would not stop pursuing them until they died.

The Giant Orc before Lilith was wearing armor making the already scary monster even more scary. This set of armor has a hood with a face guard with the shape of a laughing face on one half and a crying face on the other. Attached to its side are two small horns that curve backward, one of which is partially broken.

The shoulders are fairly rounded, long, and large. They're decorated with several rows of small, sharp spikes. Each row reaches from back to front.

The upper arms are protected by pointed, half-covering rerebraces which sit well under the shoulder plates. The lower arms are covered by vambraces which have layers of pointed leather on the outer sides.

The breastplate is made from various layers of squared-crafted leather. It covers everything from the neck down and ends at the groin, but the shoulder area is fairly exposed to allow for more movement space.

The upper legs are covered by a skirt of horizontal layers of leather and fur reaching down to the knee. The front is open. The lower legs are protected by leather shin guards which have layers of squared leather on the outer sides. Thick leather pants are worn beneath this all.

People said that if you encountered a Giant Orc when on your own, it would be better to just kill yourself on the spot because of how scary they're. Currently, a frail woman was facing this beast, however, something astonishing was happening when this woman finally made a move.

Gurgle!

It was this very Giant Orc that fell to the ground with its eyes rolled back in its head, struggling to breathe.

Gurgle!

This creature on the ground in no way resembled the one that drove fear into the hearts of people everywhere.

Crunch, crunch!

Then a woman appeared in front of this Giant Orc.

This was a sight that people, who knew what the Giant Orc was capable of, would find hard to believe.

Was there anything to fear from a Giant Orc when it was struggling to breathe?

Nevertheless, Lilith simply looked down at the Giant Orc with bloody eyes.

That was it.

She didn't stab a sword into its defenseless body, she didn't use a spell or skill, and she didn't appear to be cautious of it either.

She didn't even seem that interested in it.

Instead, after a short while, she lifted his head and looked around.

There wasn't much to see because of the thick poisonous fog and the black rain that was falling from the sky.

Gurgle!

Gurgle!

And all that could be heard were sounds similar to those from the Giant Orc coming from every direction.

After listening for a moment, Lilith lifted her head.

"You are late.''

Those words were directed at the new entrant, Snow glared at Lilith as if she could swallow her but looking at the giant beast on the ground she couldn't help but acknowledge that this woman was the real deal without, however, she would surpass her and kill Lilith brutally as possible. Snow fantasized.

Ignoring Snow who seemed to be thinking of something bad, Lilith killed the beast with one swing of her sword.
