[A strange power overwhelms you. Immobile for 4 seconds.]

[Domination has overcome this strange power.]

[Status resistance to strange power.]

Andre and Afina stared in shock as the Orc noble's body began glowing red, its bottom tusks growing longer than they had been before.

A strange aura radiated from it as well, crippling their movement. However, due to their respective abilities, they were saved.

The same couldn't be said for the rest of them though, everyone else was frozen still in place, unable to move due to the strange aura.

Judith had been running away from a group of orcs, however due to the status effect, her legs stiffened, causing her to tumble over. And at that speed, the ground hit hard, fracturing her arms.

One of the orcs rushed towards her, taking advantage of the situation.

*Argahahah* It laughed as it picked her off the ground, before pulling at her leg with all its strength, slowly ripping it off. Judith's shrill cries of pain lay trapped in her throat, unable to escape due to the status effect.

"Such underhanded tactics are typical of you human scum," snorted the Orc noble as its body rose into the air, the strange aura dimming away.

Andre tried to slash at it as it was in the air, however, the Orc noble caught his sword like it was a toy, before using it to throw him away.

As the status effect wore off, a piercing scream echoed throughout the battlefield.

"S-stop, p-ple-" the cries were interrupted by a loud tearing sound.

"Judith," whimpered Sophia, tears streaming down her face as she stared at Judith in disbelief.

Blood sprayed from the stump that was now Judith's leg, her eyes staring into nothingness as the pain broke her mind.

More orcs joined in on the fray, each one tugging at one of her limbs.

"Save her!" shouted Sophia, snapping Silas out of his shock.

He tried throwing his spear, but this didn't stop them. They continued to pull at her limbs, the sound of bones being dislocated following shortly after.

Tears streamed down Judith's face as the orcs laughed at her, before finally her limbs were ripped off.

Her death wasn't instant.

As her limbless body lay discarded on the floor, she had time to savor the pain. Although her mind was broken, pain was a primal feeling. Even in the abyss of her mind, she could still feel it.

Blood gushed to the floor as the orcs devoured her body parts, more orcs coming in to take a share of their prize.

"No," cried Sophia as an orc tugged at her head.

"Hel-" Judith was about to whisper, before her head was ripped off, a string of blood sticking to the bottom of it as the orc devoured it whole.

"A fitting end," laughed the Orc noble as it stared at Afina.

"N-no," before Afina could even turn to run, the Orc noble appeared in front of her.

"You too shall find a similar end due to your cowardice," it grunted as it picked her off the ground by her neck.

"Legion, leave not even their bones," it shouted, before throwing Afina towards the horde.

Her body slammed into the ground, right next to what was left of Judith's body.

"H-help me," she cried, her spine had shattered, she was unable to feel anything from the waist down.

As an orc's hand reached out for her, an image of the first time she was raped flashed in her mind. The hand of her rapist, overlapping with that of the orc.

"I-I can't die like this, p-please help," she cried as the orc lifted her body off the ground.

The surrounding orcs who hadn't gotten a share of Judith's body tugged at her limbs, their muscles bulging as they pulled with all their strength.

Afina tried fighting, jerking her body left and right in order to get free. In response the orcs tightened their grip, snapping her arms and legs in half before continuing their pull.

"Fuuuck," she screamed, her mind was lost. She was unable to discern reality from memory. As certain death approached, the image of her rapist's friends holding her down played in her mind.

She turned to look at the remaining survivors for help, hoping that at least one of them could do something.

However everyone remained glued to her, horror freezing their faces in a look of pity and disbelief. Everyone except Gray, who wasn't even looking at her. He seemed to be looking at the orcs, but not with anger, rather it was a mix between envy and bloodlust.

'You sick-' before she could finish, a tearing sound interrupted. As her head approached the mouth of one of the orcs she got a look at her body. The rest of her limbs were being devoured as well.

Then darkness engulfed her, death claimed its quarry.

"Prepare for death," announced the Orc noble before rushing towards Andre.

"Domination," he shouted, increasing the pressure around him once more. However this seemed to do nothing against the Orc noble, its speed remained constant.

Andre stood up, swinging his sword towards the approaching Orc. The Orc turned into a blur, disappearing from his sight before reappearing behind him.

Andre turned as fast as he could to meet it, however its greatsword was faster. It came crashing down, severing Andre's right arm.

"B-Brother," cried Sophia, before rushing towards the two.

"N-no, Sophia come back," whispered Silas, however the horror he had just witnessed kept him frozen in place, the memories he shared with Judith making her death all the more gruesome.

"Brother?" smiled the Orc noble, before turning into a blur once again. In a flash it was infront of Sophia, looking down at her with an amused expression on her face.

"I've seen you before. How are you still alive?" asked the Orc, inspecting Sophia's body as if she were a rare specimen.

Perhaps this time I should take my time with you.

"N-no!" shouted Andre, rushing towards the Orc noble with his greatsword in his remaining arm.
