Your sight will be dyed in red.
I dodge the approaching spear without any effort. With a step, I close in on the orc. And with a thrust from the enchanted Iron Second, the orc’s stomach was pierced.
"GURUuAAAA!" screamed the orc.
With Iron Second still stuck, pierced into the orc’s body, I swung it up.
As that great steel sword rose, blood and guts scattered about in the air, and a literal rain of blood descended.
The falling rain of blood coupled with my resounding laughter, painted a dreadful, gruesome scene.
––– Why!? Why am I so excited!?
The cowering visage of the orcs filled me with jubilance. And my face twisted into a wicked smile of sadism.
––– KUHAHAHAHA! Die! Die! Dieeee!
I chased after the orc. It showed me its back. I swung my sword down, and its screams resounded. With its backs gouged out, its fell to the ground. And mercilessly, I crushed its head under the weight of my foot.
Turning my head, I went off for the last orc.
When I got close enough, I cut off its leg. Then I decapitated its shoulder, sending that piece flying with a fountain of blood in its trail.
As I crushed its head with my grip, a raging roar bellowed out from the pits of my guts.
Led by the voice within me, I had slaughtered a ma.s.sacre, leaving the land dyed in red blood.
–––– No! What am I doing!?

With my senses back, I looked around me.
The surrounding area was a mess. No matter what you say, that exhibition was too unsightly.
To think that this is what happens when I get a little bit of power&h.e.l.lip;
"How disgraceful," I thought as I clicked my tongue.
Using my heightened hearing, I searched for a waterside.
Leaving the corpses here is fine, right? As for the meat of the orc, I’ll just get what I need.
Besides, there’s something I want to see.
Even something small would have been fine as long as I’m able to fit in, so when I saw a waterfall, I immediately entered it. Inside the water lake, I cooled my seething head, and I washed off the blood from my body.
When the stench of the orc’s flesh mostly left my body, I went back to the place where I had previously slaughtered the orcs.
Looking at it now, I can’t help but sigh. I’m well aware that the one responsible for this is me, but this is really just too much. Still though, since I’ve already done it, I should at least make the most out of it.
So with that, I gathered the corpses to fish for scavengers while I hid somewhere nearby. Then a few hours pa.s.sed, and I began to worry as to whether it was a waste of time hiding behind the thickets, fis.h.i.+ng for scavengers, or not. But fortunately, at that moment, it came.
Its back was hunched, its face was that of a beast, and in its hand was a beast’s fang. It walked like a man, and behind it swayed a tail. Its stature was slightly smaller than that of a goblin. And its fur was colored brown.
I wondered to myself whether I’ve seen
