Chapter 273 ⑮th Floor Area Guardian Battle, Part ②
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
…… Tester Life, Day 134, Afternoon — 15th Floor Audience Chamber, Sanada Yakumo ……
Hanako’s provocation was blocked. As the group of spear-wielding Orcs charged toward us, I released Lightning while giving orders to everyone.
”Take down the wall Orcs and Soldiers first! Me, Rock, and Lucy on the right! Lunaria, Sheena, and Feli on the left! Hanako, guard the rear!”
Saizou, Karen, and Sayaka didn’t need instructions—they’d handle flanking and support on their own.
FWOOSH! 6
”Leave it to me, my lord!”
”Heheh, I’ll show you a one-shot kill, darling.”
Rock charged forward, raising his halberd with a Greatshield braced. Lunaria bared a fierce grin and rushed the left side’s Orc Soldiers and Orcs alongside Sheena. Ice lances and arrows soared overhead, passing beyond us. Saizou moved from shadow to shadow between audience chamber pillars, hurling kunai.
I charged into the battlefield with magic and kunai whizzing past, following Rock’s back toward the Orc Soldier.
But halfway there—the Orc I’d supposedly felled with Lightning flashed green and stood back up.
Huh? What just happened?
”Hmm! This Orc recovered!”
The Orc I’d taken down on the opposite side was getting up too—I heard Lunaria’s confused voice. Looking closer, the Orc Saizou had poisoned with a kunai was on its feet as well.
”The Queen’s rod glowed. Seems she can fire Heal and Cure from a distance.”
Leticia, who’d been stuck idle behind her barrier, immediately identified the cause.
Following her words, I shifted my gaze to the Queen standing beside the throne. At the tip of the ornate white rod she held, a large green gem fired off emerald light toward the Orcs.
So that rod can send healing magic to distant allies.
The magic weapon Sheena mentioned earlier?
”Mph, cheeky.”
Leticia’s disgruntled voice came from behind. Well, I suppose having a pig play Holy Maiden wouldn’t sit well with her.
THWACK!
Just as that thought crossed my mind, the freshly risen Orc was bisected by Rock’s descending halberd.
”Haha, holy hell, that’s some strength.”
I let out an involuntary dry laugh at Rock’s sheer power—Bracelet of Power active for 1.5x strength, his Physical Reinforcement equivalent skill triggered, and further boosted by Hanako’s support.
Gyaton-jutsu
On the other side, Saizou’s Fire Style had turned an Orc to charcoal.
Rock swung his halberd in a wide arc, his axe-head carving through the surrounding Orcs—iron armor and all—one after another. Lucy followed up, finishing the cleaved Orcs with her large knives.
Those two Kobolds had perfect synergy. At this rate, the Queen’s Heal wasn’t a concern.
I charged down the path Rock had cleared, heading straight for the Orc Soldier.
Fire Shell
As I ran, I unleashed Fire Shell toward the Soldier. He barely managed to block with his sword, raising it as a shield.
KABOOM!
But the Fire Shell exploded on impact with the sword—shattering the iron blade, scorching the Soldier from chest upward, and blasting him backward.
The Queen’s Heal shot toward the Soldier immediately.
I leaped toward the fallen Soldier and drove my Machete through his Adam’s apple before the recovery could take hold.
The Orc Soldier’s eyes widened before blood spilled from his mouth. He went limp.
On the opposite side, Lunaria was driving her sword into an Orc Soldier’s exposed armpit, where the armor didn’t cover. Behind her, Sheena had just decapitated the last spear-wielding Orc. Further back, Feli was finishing off Orcs with burns or arrows and ice lances lodged in them.
Seems Sayaka had judged Rock’s rampage sufficient—no support needed on this flank.
I turned back toward Lunaria, who was kicking away the dead Soldier and withdrawing her blade. Our eyes met briefly. She smirked, and I twisted my mouth in reply.
Lunaria was a fast worker—reliable as always.
GRROOAAAR!
With all Soldiers down, the King rose from his throne, took up his greatsword, and began descending the stairs. He planned to link up with the General, Red Orc, and Blue Orc.
”Sayaka, target the Queen! Sheena and Lunaria, you’ve got Red and Blue Orc! The General and King are ours!”
I started running alongside Rock, issuing swift orders.
The General, apparently deciding I was an easier target than Rock, directed the Red and Blue Orcs toward Lunaria’s group instead.
Gyaton-jutsu
Saizou’s Fire Style flew at the Blue Orc before they could engage, but the speed-focused Blue Orc dodged sideways. The Fire Style chased him like a flamethrower. It didn’t connect, but it forced distance between him and the Red Orc—good, prevented a joint assault. As expected of Saizou; my familiar’s competence mirrored my own.
I returned my attention to the stairs.
The General descended halfway, Greatshield raised, not waiting for the King. Behind him, the King came slowly, Black Steel greatsword in hand.
As the General reached the bottom, Rock’s halberd swept horizontally toward him.
CRUNCH!
The General blocked with his Mithril Greatshield, but the force exceeded his expectations—the shield buckled, and he was sent flying. He barely avoided falling entirely, but Rock pressed the attack before he could regain footing. The halberd’s axe-head struck the pauldron of his Black Iron full-body armor, shattering it and cutting deep into his shoulder.
The Orc General winced in pain and thrust his sword at Rock, but Lucy struck from a blind spot, driving both large knives into the joint of his armored arm.
EEYARGH!
The General dropped his sword in agony. Rock’s halberd came again; the General managed to intercept with his Greatshield despite one knee hitting the ground, but the Mithril shield was heavily cracked. It wouldn’t hold much longer.
Beyond Rock and Lucy, Lunaria and Sheena were exchanging blows with the Red and Blue Orcs. Feli and Karen provided support. And with Hanako guarding the rear, everything was under control. Leticia, having released her Sanctuary, sent three glowing rings flying around the Red and Blue Orcs.
Overwhelming advantage.
I left the rest to the others and moved toward the King, who was about to finish descending the stairs.
No magic. Lightning wouldn’t do much against his Mithril armor. Fire Shell could blow him back, but it needed charge time. At this range, closing in was faster.
In my peripheral vision, the Queen lay dead beside the throne, two ice lances protruding from her chest.
Sayaka was deadly as ever.
With the healer eliminated, I swung my Machete horizontally at the King’s flank as he turned to assist the General.
This was an Adamantite Machete. Even with high magic defense, Mithril was only as hard as Black Iron—I should be able to cut through it.
But this was the King, after all. He sensed my presence and deflected the Machete with his Black Steel greatsword, held in his right hand. Because of his size, the greatsword’s tip was angled downward.
”Urgh…”
He’d blocked with one hand, but the awkward stance meant I nearly overwhelmed him—he hastily added his second hand.
”What’s this? Is that all the King’s got?”
Even in a low guard, he needed both hands to hold off my one-handed swing. I twisted my mouth and taunted him.
The King was certainly strong. Without the rank difference, even with Physical Reinforcement, I’d have lost that contest. But I’m two ranks above a D+ Orc King, have Physical Reinforcement active, and I’m wearing the Bracelet of Might doubling my arm strength. My base physical stats had skyrocketed since reaching Drill-Dick from species limit break.
No matter the species gap, there’s no way I’d lose in strength now.
”GRAAAH!”
At my taunt, the King’s face reddened—even his pig ears sticking out from the Mithril helm turned scarlet as he tried to push my blade back. He regained a little ground from the stalemate. Still, he couldn’t fully counter my one-handed slash.
Is that all? Time to end this.
”Hey, you know what char siu is?” 1
”Nngh…”
The Orc King, face crimson, focused entirely on pushing back my Machete, teeth clenched. I aimed my shield-arm hand at his exposed face—the part not covered by his Mithril helm—and…
Lightning
I released Lightning with doubled Mana Capacity.
ZZZZAAAAP!
The Orc King took a direct Lightning blast to the face at point-blank range. The current coursed through his face into his Mithril armor and body, scorching his frame from within. I’d stepped back immediately after firing, so my arm only got lightly singed.
Oh, that worked even better than expected.
The King must have thought I was casting magic when I raised my hand. Maybe he’d tried to absorb it with his Mithril armor, channeling Mana Capacity into the helm. But he couldn’t react fast enough at close range, failed to block with the helm, and the Mithril armor—having absorbed Mana Capacity—trapped the lightning inside instead of releasing it outward.
Yes, the King had taken the full force of that doubled-Mana Capacity lightning strike. No escape. The result: a charcoal-black Orc King, white smoke hissing from his mouth, dead.
I over-roasted him.
I wrinkled my nose at the burnt odor, watching the Orc King crumble. The outside of his Mithril armor was undamaged, but the inside had already turned to ash as he hit the ground. Black mist rose from the armor.
I felt Mana Capacity from behind and to the side—Saizou, standing ready with his chain-sickle. He’d been prepared to intervene in case things went wrong. When our eyes met, he reattached the chain-sickle to his belt and knelt, bowing his head.
”Good work, Saizou.”
I offered a word of praise.
That’s when I caught sight of Hanako far behind him—Greatshield raised, cheeks flushed, standing pigeon-toed and fidgeting as she watched the charcoal King with clear envy. I chose to ignore that.
I turned toward Lunaria and Sheena. They’d already finished off the Red and Blue Orcs. At Rock and Lucy’s feet lay the headless General.
Everyone was looking at me. They’d been watching my fight with the King.
”We win!”
I grinned at them and raised my Machete high, letting out a victory cry. 4
”HOO-RAH!”
”HELL YEAH!”
”Yayyy! Darling, that was so easy! As expected of my Darling!”
”Yeah, Yakumo totally crushed him. As expected of my hero.”
Rock and Lucy raised their halberd and large knives to the sky in response. Karen and Leticia rushed over, showering me with praise.
”Hmm, you outmatched the Orc King in raw ability. Just as expected of my lord. Heheh, we’ll have strong children. I’m looking forward to it.”
”Yes, since it’ll be my child with Darling, I’m sure we’ll have a strong and agile one.”
”What are you saying!? This is about my child with my lord!”
”The Princess’s child would just be a muscle-brained brute. 2 The next Beast Kingdom king needs to be intelligent.”
”Who’s muscle-brained!? Sheena’s children would clearly turn into greedy gluttons! You’ve always been indiscriminate in front of your favorite foods!”
”I don’t want to hear that from The Princess, who goes berserk in front of enemies. Have you forgotten your title, ‘Demon Boar Princess Knight’?” 3
”What’s wrong with Demon Boar!? That figure charging fearlessly into enemy armies! Any warrior would admire that!”
”Only male beastmen. They’re all muscle-brained.”
”I keep telling you, I’m NOT muscle-brained!”
In front of the Magic Stones that had been the Red and Blue Orcs, Sheena and Lunaria were bickering as usual.
”Hehe, those two get along so well.”
”Do they? All I see is Sheena being mean to Lunaria.”
”Sanae-chan is lonely because Sheena doesn’t bully her anymore.”
”As if! Leticia, you know how much Sheena harasses me in bed!”
”Mm, you liked it.”
”Th-there’s no way I liked it!”
Sayaka, Sanae, and Leticia had joined us, and now Sanae and Leticia started their own playful argument. Yakumo and Sayaka exchanged a glance and laughed.
A happy group of women. That’s thanks to Sayaka for keeping everyone together. Moe and Kyoko were mature enough to defer to Sayaka, and even Lunaria listened to her. She was the chief slave, but everyone understood that I trusted and valued her most.
I made the right choice picking Sayaka first. If she’d been a yandere like Masako, this harem would’ve collapsed long ago.
That said, I wondered about Takeda’s Irina. She was fine now because she lacked self-awareness, but what would happen when she awakened? From her looks, she seemed like the outgoing type. Maybe Noda wouldn’t be the last casualty from the Guild.
With that thought, I took Sayaka and headed for the treasure chest that should have appeared behind the throne.
Now, what’s in the 15th Floor Area Guardian’s chest? The 10th Floor Area Guardian’s Silver Chest had a Magic Gun, and the Pearl Chest had two 1st Rank Slaves Tickets and a 3rd Class Magic Tent.
Maybe I’d get three 1st Rank Slaves at once and spend the night fucking nonstop. Heh heh heh 5—my d**k was going to have no time to dry out.
We were able to get past all of this up to here thanks to re-run/lap results, but from the 16th Stratum onward, strong monsters appear. Plus, it’s a special stratum for Succubus Management’s “Owner of the Blonde Doll” training! Look forward to it!
Oh, and Mika will be rising soon. I checked the name—it was a tearjerker. I’ll report again once the Lilith date is set, so please buy it! w

Summary:
Combat begins with Orc forces being revived by the Queen’s healing, forcing a tactical shift. The party neutralizes the healers and systematically defeats the Orc General, Red Orc, and Blue Orc before Yakumo faces the Orc King directly. The battle concludes with victory, followed by post-battle banter about children and titles—but the unresolved variable remains: what will happen when Irina’s self-awareness awakens within Takeda’s harem?
—
Trivia:
Yakumo is currently two ranks above the D+ Orc King, making raw strength contests one-sided.
The Bracelet of Might doubles arm strength, stacking with Physical Reinforcement and his Drill-Dick species limit break.
Saizou’s competence is repeatedly emphasized—he mirrors Yakumo’s strategic thinking.
Hanako’s arousal response to the King being electrocuted is a running character trait.
The Queen was eliminated by Sayaka’s ice lances before Yakumo engaged the King.
Sheena’s title “Demon Boar Princess Knight” is a source of playful contention with Lunaria.
The 10th Floor Guardian’s Pearl Chest contained 1st Rank Slaves Tickets and a 3rd Class Magic Tent.
The author confirms this is a “re-run/lap” run, meaning the party has attempted this floor before.
The 16th Stratum is specially designed for Succubus Management’s training of the “Owner of the Blonde Doll.”
Mika’s upcoming “rise” will involve a tearful name reveal, and a “Lilith date” will be announced.
