I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 50: Inferno

As soon as the trees were set on fire, the orcs in the camp immediately started to react.

At first, the orcs wandered around in chaos since they had no idea what was happening. But of course, that couldn't be blamed on them since the forest around them had suddenly been set on fire.

To make things worse, there were fire arrows that came out of nowhere that landed in their camp, setting the buildings on fire.

The orcs were only trying to survive at this point, they didn't care at all what had caused this fire.

But since there was chaos, it was hard for them to escape.

This was made worse since the line of fire was all around them.

The only place that didn't have fire was the entrance of the orc camp which was strangely free of any flames. So following their instincts to survive, they started running at the entrance.

With how many orcs there were, it was inevitable that a stopper was formed since there was only so much space in the camp. In no time at all, they were all blocked from leaving the camp and many orcs were facing the flames that were encroaching around them.

The ones that were at the front of the stopper, the ones that were able to leave the camp didn't fare any better.

That was because as soon as they came out of the camp entrance, they were hit with a volley of arrows. Before they could even react, there were several arrows that pierced through their thick skins and into their vital points.

Before they could even find the attackers, the orcs dropped dead on the ground.

There were more orcs that came after the orcs that died, but they also met the same fate of being stabbed by arrows.

It didn't take long before the orcs realized that there were enemies hiding in the burning forest in front of them, sniping them with bows. This made them more hesitant to run out…but they had no choice but to run out since behind them was a wall of flames.

It was like being trapped between a rock and a hard place.

With this blocking the flow of orcs, there were more and more orcs that were trapped by the burning flames encroaching from behind them.

The ones in the back did all that they could to put out these flames, but they lived in a camp that was completely made of wood, sticks, and leaves. There was no way for them to control this blazing inferno when there was so much kindling available to the flames.

So their attempts were in vain as they were swallowed by the flames.

The orc killing went very smoothly, so smoothly that they couldn't believe that it was this easy.

However, that changed when a roar suddenly rang out through the camp.

There were orcs that were picked up and thrown out of the way, as well as orcs that quickly moved to the side to create a path.

The one that took this path and came out of the orc camp was an orc that was bigger than the others. This was an orc that was holding a large iron sword.

It was another Orc General.

But of course, those that were shooting the arrows didn't delay when they saw this Orc General come out. As soon as it came out of the entrance, there were arrows that flew out through the trees at the Orc General.

The Orc General swung his sword out to cut down these arrows, but there were just too many arrows for the Orc General to deal with.

As soon as the Orc General appeared, the arrows stopped flying at the other orcs and were completely concentrated on the Orc General alone.

So even if the Orc General cut down a few of these arrows, the rest of the arrows stabbed right into the Orc General's body.

But this Orc General was a higher tier monster for a reason.

Even with all of these arrows stabbing into him, he was still able to move and fight. This Orc General was like a rampaging monster as if continued to head towards the forest in front of him.

That is until a sudden arrow of ice came out of nowhere and stabbed that Orc General right in the head.

This arrow was disguised amongst the rain of arrows, so the Orc General wasn't able to react to it until it was too late.

With this arrow of ice stabbing through his head, the Orc General staggered for a second before collapsing onto the ground.

Once the Orc General was dead, the arrows once again focused on the orcs that were escaping from the camp.

The orcs that had used the Orc General as a distraction to escape the arrows found themselves being shot at once again. That was because they had been unable to escape while the Orc General was causing the distraction.

They were completely surrounded in flames, so there was nowhere for them to run in the first place.

If they had charged at the ones who were shooting the arrows while the Orc General was causing the distraction, perhaps they might have found a way out…

It was just too bad that these orcs didn't have this intelligence.

So with the rain of arrows and the flames behind them, the orcs were trapped inside of this burning camp.

The camp continued to burn for around an hour and the struggling stopped after half an hour. At that point, all of the orcs were being consumed by the flames inside of the camp and no more orcs ran out.

Since there weren't any orcs left, the arrows naturally stopped as well.

Finally, after an hour, the kindling ran out and the flames slowly started to die down.

The only things that were left was the burnt husk of the orc camp and the smell of burning orcs in the air.
