Chapter 105 of "Crimson Overlord" commences with: Two days passed in the blink of an eye since he started observing its prey,... Don’t miss the next part!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye since he started observing its prey, and he concluded that he was not a threat. Even though he knew that the pale-looking human man was not related to these beings who trampled on its pride back then, he was still cautious. For this reason, he observed the pale-looking young man for a few days, observing the young man from afar, from his lair, but finally, he moved. The Ice Drake had moved. ….. Orpheus, who was moving deeper into the Inner region a few days ago after separating from Kaguya, suddenly felt an enormous pressure directed at him; it was as though an enormous height had been put on him. In the sky, an extremely large origin beast appeared, it was a twelve meters long Ice drake, he had a pair of giant wings, this Ice drake was pure white in color, its eyes were blue like the blue sky. From the sky, he looked down on Orpheus; he was like an overlord. When he appeared, the pressure Orpheus felt increased, and the temperature dropped by several degrees. Well, he was pretending, though. “This King praise thy for not fleeing when thou saw this King.” The Ice drake talked. Orpheus turned pale in fright. He even started trembling; his legs almost gave up as he put on a scared expression. His face showed that he knew the Ice drake would chase after him no matter where he went. Torr (it is how the origin beast named himself) could not hide his joy when he noticed the young man tremble in fear; he felt scared of him, a despair filled his being. Torr liked this feeling; he liked to watch his prey tremble, eyes filled with fear when they were facing him. He could decide their fate; this sensation was like sweet nectar that one could never get tired of. It was addictive. After killing the young man, Torr planned to dig out his beautiful crimson eyes before consuming his body. And when he will successfully advances into Tier 5, he will use these eyes as decoration before departing toward the Core region once more to get his revenge. “Human be proud, thou shall become this King meal, a part of me.” Torr declared proudly, and when he saw the human male tremble again, he felt more proud. Immediately following his declaration, Torr lunged at Orpheus with his claw, ready to behead the latter. However, Torr abruptly stopped when he saw the look Orpheus directed at him. That was not the look of a cornered prey; instead, it was the look of a hunter that had successfully baited his prey by pretending to be weak. Torr felt his heart sink as he saw this scene. ‘He’s dangerous.’ It was the second time in hundreds of years that he’d felt scared when looking at a figure that was so small it seemed like he could crush it with just a fingernail. He attempted to fly back straight up into the sky. Orpheus, who was silent from the beginning, finally moved. He quickly closed the distance between them before Torr could truly get away. Behind him, numerous ice arrows began to form. Torr couldn’t help but steal a nervous glance at them. ‘Those arrows of ice are strong enough to pierce my skin.’ As an Ice user himself, Torr could determine that. He knew he had to stop them somehow. “Do not look down on me, human.” Torr shouted before breathing out an Ice breath that clashed with the incoming Ice Arrows. Boom* A big explosion occurred after the two attacks collided. When Torr thought that he could by now distance himself before teaching this human a good lesson, another bunch of Ice Arrows had been created by Orpheus. ‘No way, this human level is comparable to mine to be able to use that technique in succession easily.’ Torr thought inwardly while filling troubled. He had just used his breath, so he wouldn’t be able to use it for a short while. As Torr hurriedly tried to think of a way to escape this predicament, an ice arrow shot into his body with unstoppable momentum. “Kuh…!” Torr grunted in pain, the shard of ice seemed to dig into his bones, and it was at that moment that Torr, who had never been dissatisfied with his large body, couldn’t help but feel that he was unnecessarily large. ‘Where did he go?’ Torr asked himself because Orpheus had suddenly disappeared. He appeared in the sky, and his hand was a three-meter-long spear made of Ice. He hurled the Ice spear at Torr. The latter sensed a deep crisis, and immediately used his tail to swat the Ice spear away. Crack!!! A sound could be heard, followed by the Ice spear broking in two while Torr’s tail was also injured. “Gah! Damn you, little bastard.” As soon as he felt the pain in his tail, Torr spun and swung his claw to smash Orpheus aside. Orpheus’s body flew at an enormous speed and smashed into the Ice mountain behind him. Boom! The impact was so powerful that the mountain collapsed, but Torr’s expression was not better. Orpheus managed to pierce one of his eyes before being sent smashing into the Ice mountain. He kept his remaining eye on the pile of the destroyed ice mountains. Patter!! As expected, Orpheus walked out looking like nothing had happened. He was even grinning; there were no injuries apart from his ripped black clothes, and his white skin underneath the clothes looked fine. Torr’s expression sank; what a powerful physical body. Torr felt shocked when he looked Orpheus in the eyes. ‘Human? This is human?’ Torr had reigned over the Inner range for quite a long time, and he had seen numerous humans, Elves, and even demons. He also knew that the humans who could reach this location were all very strong individuals, but even they were just bugs. No matter how excellent a human was, to him, it was only an ant who would have one fate, to be eaten by him. But this man was different. “Human…! What the hell are you!? You’re not human. What are you then?” “Even myself, I would like to know,” Orpheus replied while shrugging his shoulders. Torr moved at an extremely fast speed toward the nonchalant Orpheus. He slashed at him with his claw; however, he easily avoided it with minimal movement. He caught Torr’s tail with his bare hands and spun thrice before throwing Torr’s gigantic body toward a nearby mountain. Boom* Torr smashed into the mountain head; first, the mountain was blasted into smitterness while Torr himself felt a little dizzy. However, he could not stay still because he sensed Orpheus approaching. Torr spun and swung his tail at Orpheus at a fast speed; Orpheus crossed his arms to defend against the attack. He was sent twelve meters back; like the previous time, he was uninjured, only his clothes were in tatters. Torr was sure that this human was insane; he planned to have a physical context with him. Torr became mad at the discovery; this puny human was like these being back then; he was looking down on him; he was insinuating that he could fight Torr by using only his physical strength; no technique was needed. Torr roared in madness and eyes filled with killing intent. He directed his bloody eye at Orpheus and shouted. “Do not get full of yourself, human.” Torr immediately attacked Kyle using his claw, a human and mutated beast fought across several meters, destroying everything on their human. Torr had numerous wounds on his large body, while Orpheus’s upper body was bare without any wound, and his arms were little red due to the continuous exchange with Torr. ‘He is a monster “Why did you pretend to be weak? It’s to make fun of this King?” Torr asked with hatred, giving Orpheus a death stare. On the other side, Orpheus looked unfazed by Torr’s death stare; his reply was short. “Because it was fun.” “Let’s end this,” He added; he was getting bored anyway as this beast was not strong as he thought; the fun fight he expected didn’t happen. Torr decided to bet everything on his next attack. His breath was ready to be used again; he refused to believe that his breath would lose. After all, not even the other powerful beast and humans had been able to withstand his breath, apart from these being who was unscathed by it. No matter what power this human possessed or how tough his physical body was, Torr was confident that he would win. Grrrr! Torr began gathering his breath to the maximum. He planned to bet his life and death on the one attack. Then, He fired his breath toward Orpheus, who had a red sword in his hand; his eyes were closed. He faced the incoming Ice breath without fear; suddenly his crimson eyes opened, followed by his sword moving, creating a crimson flash. The sword strike was so fast that Torr didn’t even see how the sword had moved. All he saw was his Ice breath being cut in two, followed by his body. Torr, an Overlord with great aspiration, died like that. His last thought was that in this world, there is always someone more powerful than you. …. After killing the Ice drake and retrieving his crystal core, the number two thousand was recorded on his wristwatch. Orpheus looked toward the depth of the core. From there, someone was spying on him; this person was really powerful. He sensed the man; however, the latter did not know he had been discovered. From that person, he could sense foreign energy that made his blood boil. Immediately, his lips curved upward as he mumbled “Interesting.” Soon, he stepped across space and disappeared. This trip wouldn’t be boring as he initially thought.
