Scene:Under the black clouds, on the trembling ground, and surrounded by the heavy stench of blood — a brutal war raged between two races: the Orc Army and the Humans of the Hidden Land Village.The humans once numbered 2,000, but now barely 300–400 remained.The orcs, who had begun at 500,000, still had 450,000+ standing strong.
In the middle of this battlefield stood Ino, Dino, Uli, Parker, and Jasan, fighting desperately against endless waves of orcs.Suddenly, Uli collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
Parker: "Uli!!"Dino: "Focus, Parker!"Parker: "Ah—Yes!"
Everyone went back to fighting, drenched in blood and sweat.Nearby, Haga and Teraji fought alongside the remaining soldiers.Haga was exhausted, while Teraji kept attacking with fierce bravery.
Teraji: "BUTTERFLY POISON!"
Scene:Magical butterflies appeared, biting several orcs.Their blood began to emit a strong, sweet scent that attracted other orcs toward them — mistaking them for food.
Orcs: "Food! Food! FOOD!"Smelly Orcs: "Agh…! Aghn…!"
But then, an orc landed a heavy punch on Teraji.
Teraji: "Agh!!"He crashed to the ground.
Haga looked around and noticed something horrifying — some orcs were eating the corpses of their own fallen kin.
Haga: "What the hell...?!"
As the orcs devoured their dead, their strength visibly increased.
Haga: "I see… they're eating their own to grow stronger! That's just what we needed…!"(He trembled with tension and disbelief.)
Suddenly, an orc jumped toward Haga, raising its blade.
Haga: "!"
Before it could land the hit —
Voice: "SHADOW BULLET!"
A black bullet shot through the air and struck the orc.The creature's body turned completely black and collapsed — dead in an instant.
Haga: "What just happened?!"
He turned around — and there stood Precious, wearing a mask over his eyes and a snake beast coiled around his neck.Precious walked calmly toward Haga.
Precious: "Are you alright, Lord Haga?"Haga: "You?! Why are you still here?!"Precious: "I came to protect you from these orcs. I just arrived — so leave everything to me."Haga: "What are you talking about—?!"
Precious walked forward.Ahead of him stood thousands of orcs.
Precious: "THUNDER RING BLAST!"
Scene:Thunderbolts of black, yellow, purple, and red rained down from the clouds, striking the ground violently.A massive area lit up with destruction, wiping out thousands of orcs instantly.
Haga: "What the heck was THAT?!"
Teraji staggered beside him.
Teraji: "Lord Haga… who is that kid?!"Haga: "I… I don't know."
Then, a calm voice spoke from behind them.
Voice: "He's neither human… nor god."
Haga and Teraji turned around in shock — and saw Kal appear.(Who is Kal? — Refer to the chapter where Precious received an invitation from Doramai School.)
Haga: "Then… a demon? Or a dragon?"Kal: "Nope. He's neither."Teraji: "Then who the hell is that kid?"Kal: "You can call him Lord Precious. The Greatest. The Most Powerful. The Unpredictable — Lord Precious."
Teraji: "And who are you, by the way?"Kal: "Oh, sorry — I didn't introduce myself. I'm Kal from Secret Sky City.Secret Sky got intel that an Orc Lord had appeared here, so I came to confirm it.And it's true… But I didn't know Lord Precious himself was here — in that case, there's nothing to worry about."
Teraji and Haga (shocked): "Secret Sky City?!"Kal: "Yup — and he's the Lord and Creator of Secret Sky City!"
Haga: "A kid… created a city like Secret Sky?!"
Kal (thinking): "Oh shit… I got too excited and spilled too much.Good thing Lord Precious gave me a memory-erase skill beforehand."
Kal: "Forget everything I just said. Erase Memory!"
Kal vanished into the shadows.Haga and Teraji's heads glowed faintly — and all memories of Kal's words faded away.
Scene:Precious, now deep within the orc army, whispered a spell.
Precious: "HELL BLAST!"
A colossal explosion erupted — annihilating countless orcs.Precious kept walking forward calmly through the fire and smoke.
Meanwhile, Ino and Dino were much further inside, struggling to hold their ground.Uli lay unconscious on the battlefield.Jasan and Parker were on the verge of collapse.
Ino: "Just a little longer, Parker! Jasan!"Parker: "Y–Yeah…! Hah…!"
Dino: "Forest Slice!"
Dozens of orcs around Dino were cut down instantly.But even he was starting to fall to his knees.
Dino: "It's not just Parker and Jasan… I'm about to drop too!"Ino: "Damn it!"
Then — a massive explosion erupted nearby.Its shockwave blasted across the field, hitting even Ino and the others.
Ino: "What's going on?!"Dino: "How the hell would I know?!"
Dust and debris flew everywhere — and when the smoke cleared, all nearby orcs had turned to ashes.
The battlefield fell silent for a moment — as the overwhelming power of Lord Precious dominated the war.
