Chapter 79

Rise of the Horde

"Ugh..." Dug'mhar groaned in pain as he tried to get up on his legs. He stumbled a few times before his trembling legs finally managed to find the strength to carry his weight. He look towards where the Goblin King was at and his pupils dilated and his jaws wide open. The distance that he flew back was more than ten meters. Glancing around his surroundings, he finally spotted his Rhakaddon further away from him that was scrambling with its mighty hooves, throwing dirt and mud all over the place as it tried to get back on its legs.

He stood there, still in shock at what just happened. He struggled to believe that he and even his Rhakaddon was thrown that far away after trying to ram through the giant piece of flabby flesh.

Haguk and his partner Sharpfang lunged at the Goblin King at the same time, side by side. Sharpfang with his fangs at the ready and even his claws were positioned for a possible swiping attack. Beside him was Haguk, who was brandishing his battle-axe charging forward.

Sharpfang pounced upon King Jaadul, but was met with a bouncy, vast belly. And like a soft cushion, he sunk deep within King Jaadul's belly before being sent flying away after the sunken, flabby flesh bounced him off.

Haguk raised his head and stared at his partner being easily repelled by the enemy. He gripped his weapon tighter and brought it down on his opponent's right leg with all his might. His swing contained all his power that he could exert, but his strike ricocheted back as his weapon, which he tightly gripped, flew away from his hand. The weapon that he secured as tightly as possible within his grip flew in an arc before crashing down on the muddy ground, tumbling a few times, splashing murky water and throwing mud in the air before coming to a halt after going over a few corpses.

He stared in disbelief at his hands, which turned pale after gripping the handle of his weapon so hard, but it was all for naught, it flew away from his hands, anyway. And the trembling of his hands can attest to the unbelievable defense of his opponent's body which ricochets any attack back.

A huge stomped caught his attention. Staring in front of him, he saw an enormous foot with plenty of fatty flesh that wriggled after the stomp. He raised his head upwards and saw the grinning face of the Goblin King, obviously grinning with pride at his body's ability to repel any attack.

The huge foot in front of him arched back before coming forward with a whoosh. Haguk was sent flying away by King Jaadul's powerful kick. The Warghen Clan chief sailed in the air for a few moments before crashing to the muddy ground hard, bouncing a few times as he grunted in pain and gasped for breath as the impact of his fall took the winds out of his lungs.

The orc infantry, the Rumbling Clan and the Warghen Clan encircled what remains of the enemy army and felling them down easily as they were now wary of even their leader and not just the enemy army that was besieging them.

King Jaadul grabbed a few of the corpses that were scattered around and chomped on them. The sickening crunching sound of bones being broken sounded as the voracious King chewed upon his meal. His meal was bodies of both friend or foe, dead or alive. He ate them all as his size increased even more with each body that he devours.

It only took less than an hour for Xiao Chen's warriors and the Goblin King to exterminate the corrupted creatures. There was only one enemy left, which was the Goblin King that is busy devouring the bodies that were within his reach.

Xiao Chen's warriors encircled the Goblin King who had his focus on his meal. From his mouth dripped both fresh and black blood, bits of flesh and pieces of armors. King Jaadul happily munched his way to power as the more he devours the stronger, tougher and bigger he becomes.

"Rawrgh!!!"

The orc infantry charge all together and thrusted their spears at the very big target with all their might, but their attacks didn't do any damage at all, not even a scratch. Their spears slid off the flesh of the Goblin King and some even pierced through their allies, wounding them with some stab wounds.

Xiao Chen charged forward and tried to ram the Goblin King with his shield but was sent stumbling backwards. He raised his head and caught sight of King Jaadul who had a triumphant smile on his lips.

King Jaadul burped loudly and patted his belly in satisfaction before focusing his gaze on the enemies that was surrounding him. "I am full...Time to fight!!!"

The Goblin King stomped the ground with four hard stomps. His foot made the muddy ground sink a few feet, and the tremors caused by his stomps made those around him loose balance and fall to the ground. His stomps were so heavy and powerful that it was like an equivalent of thousands of thousands of Rhakaddons stampeding forward.

"Tsk...tsk... weaklings!" He laughed, then started kicking around him. Orcs were sent flying in the air before hitting the ground with a hard crash. King Jaadul jumped up and down now and then, making Xiao Chen and his army loose balance and fall to the ground. Mud covered King Jaadul's opponents as he went around kicking, bashing, smashing and slapping anything that caught his interest. He would even grab some bodies, whether dead or alive, and have a snack every now and then.

Xiao Chen had a look of helplessness on his face as he watch his warriors being easily trampled, thrashed and slaughtered. He did not know on how to fight a creature that has a very powerful body that can deflect piercing, blunt and slashing attacks. A golem would be easier to fight than the Goblin King since the body of golem is basically made of rocks that can be shattered with blunt attacks but the body of King Jaadul was made of a very bouncy flesh and fat that make waves every time that he moves around.
