16 Approaching disaster

Hello everyone~ I hope you are enjoying my work. I'll try to update new chapters regularly. Currently I'm working on my writing quality so although I may release fewer chapter but it's for the future!

---------------------

"Is this everything? Be careful that you leave nothing important behind."

Currently rimuru was organizing the ogre's in preparation for departure toward "jura tempest city".

"Everything is going well for the time being. althouth I have a feeling that it's short living.

Rimuru swept his imaginary sweat as the ability [premonition] began to ring bells in his head.

Suddenly there was a sound and an ogre who rimuru recognized from the original story as souei looking like an assassin with his face covered collapsed near the group.

"I..it's here..... The disaster...."

That's all the ogre could say before fainting.

"There is no injury on his body no sign of any negative status effect.he seems to be exhausted."

An old ogre in loose white clothes who rimuru assumed to be the village's healer stepped forward and checked souei as he reported his condition.

"How can he be exhausted? he was tasked to watch the periphery of the village."

"Okay, it's not the time to speculate. everyone leave everything that's yet to be stored behind and quickly evacuate the village. "

Rimuru stopped the villagers speculation as he ordered everyone to leave toward his city.

"Groar~~ "

Thump!! Thump !!

Suddenly there was a roar as uncountable amount of foot sound reverberated in the distance.

Hearing the sound a grim expression found its way in the villagers face as the village head's call broke the solemn mood.

"Hurry!! there's no time to be standing here. everyone organize in party and move out!!!"

Hearing village head's order all the ogre's started forming groups as they headed toward the opposite direction of the sound.

"You should also go with them.I will buy you all time necessary to move away from here."

Rimuru said to the village head and 30 something ogre fighters as he didn't have confidence in protecting them.

"No, my lord! Let us fight by your side. We may not be able to do much but ogre's are not coward who run in the face of danger!"

An ogre rimuru recognized as benimaru said heroically as he insisted on fighting against the orc's.

" despite my age I still have some power left. if I work my old bones in full power I don't believe I won't be able to bring a few dozen orc's to death."

Even the village head came forward the group as he looked like he's ready to sacrifice himself.

"You fools! You know you won't be able to do much yet you march toward your death. do you think I'm dead? Since I've taken you under me let me protect you and in return fulfill your responsibility as a subordinate and serve me with your everything. Do what you are capable of and leave others to me.Now go back and ensure everyone reaches the city. When I return I want no one missing. Do you understand?"

"Yes my lord!!" Said everyone as they went back with newfound respect.

Although they were forced by the situation to submit under rimuru but it's impossible for them to accept it wholeheartedly. But now seeing rimuru stand up for them they had a change of heart.they Thought maybe rimuru is a worthy lord.

Seeing the last of the ogre's leave rimuru heaved a sigh of relief. After all he was sure that whatever was coming this way was too dangerous for them to face. it would be a pity for them to die just like that.

On the other side as rimuru focused his [universal sense] he saw a scene straight out of a horror movie.

Currently there were about ten thousand orc's coming this way but what creeped out rimuru was that their eyes were hollow and their movement were monotone like they were moving only on their instinct. there's only the rotting effect missing on their body otherwise rimuru would have doubts whether he had come to some zombie apocalyptic world.

In the back of the horde was an orc easily triple the size of normal orc's.

But what made it really different is that the orc was currently releasing a black fog like aura that was diffusing in the surrounding and mumbling something incoherent.

Rimuru tried to listen to what the orc was saying.

"Envyyy@#$Envyyy$#@ I envyyy youuu!!!! Why do you have food I don't have!!!why do you have powesr I don't possess!!!! Why do you possess a body I

don't have!!!! I WANT EVERYTHING THAT OTHERS HAVE. I MUST HAVE EVERYTHING THAT OTHERS HAVE!!!!"

Hearing the orc suddenly roaring that rimuru was freaked out. seeing the madness in the orc's eyes rimuru was sure it was no longer the orc lord. This creature was a mindless disaster that acted on the only feeling it has, which is "ENVY".

"Wisdom, what do you have to say about this?"

Rimuru asked wisdom of its opinion as he made his way towards the zombie orc horde.

"[ The creature has evolved into the orc disaster and became a demon lord seed but lost any semblance of sentient and is currently acting on its only feeling being endless envy. After considering various possibilities the most likely possibility is that under the intrusion of certain outside influence the creature has lost all it's sentience only the feeling of envy corrupting his very soul and eliminating any chance at reincarnation.]"

Hearing wisdoms conclusion rimuru felt anger towards clayman as although in the original story the orc disaster has caused much death and destruction but rimuru really respected and admired him as he did everything for his tribe and loved one's.

Now seeing that figure he respected and admired turning into a mindless beast with nothing but envy without even the chance of reincarnation rimuru was very angry as he wanted to send

away Geld the orc disaster with the help of Osiris into the cycle of reincarnation.

" Why would clayman leave the orc disaster here when it already has evolved into a demon lord seed unless even he can't control it. Why create it when you can't even control it."

"I can only end your torment and finish you off."

As rimuru was thinking he stepped into the domain of the aura of the orc disaster. Suddenly,

"[Warning!! Skill {Poison mastery} has been stolen!!!!]"

"[Warning!! Skill {aura mastery} has been stolen!!!!]"

"[ Warning!! Pure intent of envy is trying to invade master's mind!! Successfully resisted.]"

"[Warning!! Master is advised to move away from entity orc disaster]"

Hearing wisdoms warning, rimuru hurriedly jumped back as he went out of the range of the aura.

"What the fuck?!! Did I just lost 2 of my skills?!! what happened??"

"[ Entity orc disaster is confirmed to posses unique skill {Envy incarnate} ]"

"Envy?? So does that mean he can steal all my skills? So how am I supposed to even fight him if he steals away all my skills?"

"[ Unique skill {envy incarnate} is unable to steal intrinsic skills, resistances,skills of same and higher grade.]"

"Fuck?!!!@#$##!!! Doesn't that meant I'll loss every other skill aside from the unique skills!!!"

"[It is possible to absorb them back if master devours entity orc disaster.]"

" I can't possibly fight now. Even without that skill he's a lot more powerful than the one in original. The only offensive unique skill I have is [absolute element domination]. I have to plan everything ahead and challenge him only when I'm fully prepared."

With that rimuru went toward his city as he began to plan for taking down the orc disaster.
