“……Y-you bastard! I am a-, are you insulting me!!?”
Perhaps I hit the mark, the demon snaps.
No offense, but it’s definitely true. Even alone, someone from a powerful demon clan has the power to compete with a country. On the other hand, even if a lower demon clan tried to fight humans all together, they would be quickly defeated.
The demon in front of me is clearly from a lower class one. If it were me in my previous life, I would be able to finish him off in a second.
Ooooooooon!
At that moment, a loud sound once again reverberated from under my feet. Apparently, they defeated the second mountain bear.
“Hey, what’s that up there?”
“T-That…… No way, someone from a demon clan!?”
“Reus is fighting?”
They also seemed to have noticed us here. The demon broke the concealment spell when he knew he was found out.
“Tsk! Annoying low lives……Kukuku. This is the end for you guys anyway……Hahaha.”
Suddenly, the demon started laughing and then turned on his heel and flew to the depths of the dungeon.
“Did he run away?”
“I’m sure that demon is the cause of this anomaly! Let’s chase after him!”
We followed him further into the dungeon.
“Hey! There he is! It’s the demon from earlier!”
“Be careful! Those from demon clan are formidable enemies!”
At that moment, I noticed the figure of the demon from earlier. It didn’t seem that he run away, he just stood in mid-air with a fearless smile on his face, as if waiting for us to come.
“““T-This is……?”””
When I got closer, I was taken aback by the scene that was spread out there.
The demon then laughs loudly.
“Kuhahaha! Welcome lowly ones! Behold, these are my masterpieces!”
Spreading his arms wide, the demon triumphantly pointed to the hordes of countless gigantic monsters —Ogres, to be precise, that filled the dungeon.
“A-All of them are Ogre!? What a number!”
“Impossible…… Ogre is a powerful monster with a danger level of B but…… t-this number is…..”
Ogres are not very prolific. It was a monster that was far more difficult to multiply than orcs, which sometimes breed in large numbers. However, the large swarm of ogres in front of us was so huge that it even looked artful, like the large breeding of orcs the other day.
“It’s like a swarm of goblins……”
“Kuhahaha! Looks like some of you are quite sharp for a human! That’s right. These aren’t just any ogres! They’re ogres with the fertility of goblins!”
“W-Whaaat!?…… An ogre with goblin fertility you say!?”
Among the monsters, the goblin, which is the weakest monster, is considered to be the most fertile. They are said to double in just one week if they have enough food.
“O-oi, oi, oi,……Are you kidding me!? Goblins are monsters with a danger level of E at most, so it’s okay if there are more of them, but ogres are danger level B, right? If they continue to breed…”
Maricia’s voice trembles at the horror of this situation, her face turning pale. On the other hand, I was nodding in admiration.
“I see, Ogres that have the reproductive power of goblins huh. Ogres and goblins have completely different physiques, but they are monsters of the same lineage after all. That’s probably why you were able to give them the reproductive power of goblins. If it were other monsters, I think it’s probably not going to work out because of gene rejection. You thought about this quite a bit huh.”
“Reus, this is not the time to be praising him you know?”
“Kuhahaha! That’s right!”
Fana said a little dumbfounded, but the demon shouted with a twinkle in his eye.
“That’s exactly the key to the birth of this modified ogre…! At first, I tried to give that reproductive ability to the other monsters, but it didn’t work! After repeated trial and error, I finally found out that it is possible with an ogre from the same lineage! I never thought you would understand that…..Well, what did you say earlier? I am a lower creature? I….”
The demon shook his head as if he had come to his senses. Then he returned to his fearless look earlier.
“Kukuku, you low lives will be easily devoured by my creation. At this stage, their number has already increased to 2,000. You can’t escape. Kuhahaha!”
“T-Two thousand!?”
“Considering the food that can be secured in the dungeon, this number is the limit, but soon, these guys will be released to the surface! I’m sure you humans will be completely wiped out then!”
