Shin didn't hesitate. With a powerful spin, he hurled Mora like a living cannonball straight toward the ogre.
The ogre staggered back a step, more surprised than hurt. Then pure fury ignited in its bloodshot eyes.
"GRAAAAAHHH!"
It grabbed Mora with both enormous hands and began savagely attacking her, slamming massive fists into her body again and again.
Each blow landed with bone-crushing force that would have pulverized a normal warrior. Yet against Mora, the attacks proved almost useless.
Her "Perfect Body" skill was in full effect. Her soft, jiggly flesh had become both extremely resistant and impossibly flexible at the same time.
Every devastating punch caused her curves to deform dramatically, her enormous breasts compressing and rippling like water, her waist bending at unnatural angles, but her skin never tore and her bones never broke.
This was her real power. She could be handled in the roughest way, and it wouldn't be a problem. Even when the impacts distorted her form for a moment, she bounced back to normal, unscathed.
The creature roared in frustration. It slammed her into the ground, but it did nothing. It smashed her against a tree, the ancient trunk split apart while Mora simply bounced back.
It squeezed her with all its strength, muscles bulging as it tried to break every bone in her body, but she slipped free from its grip.
"So that's all you've got?" Mora said, pouting her thick lips. Even if the ogre couldn't understand her exact words, it instinctively knew what she meant.
"Roar!!!!" it answered furiously.
Noticing that breaking her was impossible, and frustrated with the battle, the monster tried to toss her aside to charge at the others, but Mora refused to let go.
Remembering Shin's order to buy time, Mora locked herself onto the ogre with surprising strength. Her legs wrapped around its waist while her arms clung to its shoulders like iron chains.
Then, with a mischievous grin, she lunged upward and sank her teeth into the ogre's ear. She bit down with monstrous strength, tearing a chunk clean off in a spray of dark blood.
"GYAAAAAAGH!" the ogre howled in rage as blood sprayed into the air, a large piece of its ear ripped away.
Its anger exploded. Abandoning all thought of strategy, the monster focused entirely on Mora.
It grabbed the bimbo by the waist and slammed her against the ground. Without giving her even a second to breathe, it began its barrage of attacks.
The creature began punching her non-stop, raining blows upon her head, chest, and back like a frenzied beast. Each punch became stronger than the last.
Still, Mora simply smiled through the barrage. It was painful, and slowly the ogre was actually causing damage, but she didn't care.
"Haha! Is this really all you can do?" she said in a provocative tone.
All she wanted was to force that stupid ogre to spend all its energy on her, all while fulfilling her order to make sure she bought her king enough time.
Just thinking that all the pain she was enduring would help him filled her body with happiness.
"Roar!" the ogre roared again, its muscles bulging even more.
With each passing second, its fury grew, and soon it would enter its third stage. Mora could feel the massive power building within the creature's body.
For a second, she even felt fear, but dying for Shin would be a dream come true, so she didn't care.
Meanwhile, the orcs were not just watching. They kept advancing to attack the succubi and their leader.
So Shin turned to the others, his voice sharp and commanding.
"Medea, protect Materna and Octavia! Materna is fully concentrated on her spell, so she can't restore your strength right now, but Octavia should be able to recover you at least a little!"
The sage mage nodded, still breathing heavily from her earlier Crimson Judgment. She moved closer to the two girls, invoking the grimoire of traps.
She had already understood that directly attacking orcs with magic wouldn't be very effective. That being the case, it was better to use magic to keep them away or buy time. Shin would need to be the one killing the orcs.
Shin glanced upward. "Yasmin, stay close to them. Guard their backs."
"Understood, Master~" the invisible succubus replied, her playful voice echoing softly.
With the rear secured, Shin advanced toward the surviving orcs. His sword gleamed as he moved.
The first orc met Shin's blade head-on.
Steel clashed against a crude axe before Shin stepped inside the creature's guard. His sword carved through its side, opening a deep wound. The orc merely snarled, refusing to fall.
"Tough bastards..."
Another charged from his blind side. Shin pivoted, letting the spear graze past his shoulder before driving his sword through the warrior's throat. Even then, the orc managed one final swing before collapsing.
There was no room to breathe.
Axes whistled through the air while spears thrust from behind heavy shields. Unlike the goblins, the orcs fought with discipline, forcing Shin to earn every inch of ground.
His blade rose and fell in an endless rhythm. But he kept pushing himself to kill them faster and faster. Mora wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.
One orc managed to bury its axe into Shin's shoulder before he answered with a brutal upward slash that split its jaw in two. Blood soaked his clothes, though he could no longer tell how much belonged to him.
Another came... then another. He endured and killed them one by one. Octavia kept using her healing on him from time to time.
Shin relentlessly cut down the remaining warriors one after another. The disciplined formation slowly crumbled until only corpses remained scattered across the ruined battlefield.
Finally, the last orc dropped to its knees. With one clean swing, Shin separated its head from its body.
Silence settled over the battlefield.
Panting heavily, Shin lowered his sword. Every muscle in his body screamed in exhaustion as he struggled to catch his breath.
Then...
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
A deafening roar shook the entire forest. The earth trembled and trees swayed violently. Shin slowly looked toward the source of the sound.
The crimson aura surrounding the ogre had grown several times denser. Its muscles expanded grotesquely, veins pulsed like living serpents beneath its skin, and its eyes burned with murderous madness.
"Fuck, it's the third stage already…" Shin's grip tightened around his sword.
The real battle had finally begun.
