Kuro and her party continued through the dungeon's Dark Forest, meeting more Demon Wolves, and finally finding a group of rare Orcs.

??

Orcs in the world of Kritias were not the same as some fictional stories of Earth, as those in Kritias were pig-like humanoid monsters with tall heights and fat appearances, although they also held strong muscles which intensified as they ranked up.

In some of Earth's fictional stories, Orcs were often depicted as green-skinned muscular men, although such designs were drawn from Tolkien's books, and were mostly the same as Ogres in Kritias, another race of humanoid-type monsters who were stronger than Orcs.

CLASH!

Vina used her giant mace to blast away the head of an Orc Leader, as the lifeless body fell over the floor.

The rest of the corpses were all lying around the kids, they had successfully defeated the group rather swiftly compared to the fast and more aggressive Demon Wolves.

Vina quickly grabbed the large corpse of the Orc Leader as if it were nothing, and began to munch it from the broken neck, the red and bloody flesh was crunchy and tender, as a bit of blood began to drip from her rosy lips, her crimson eyes gleamed eerily as she drank the delicious and sweet blood, filling her with new energy.

As a half-Blood-Human, Vina, alongside Tina, Lime, and Asure, had the Blood-Sucking Skill, which gave them the power to nourish their physique by sucking blood, increasing their capabilities, and always keep themselves at full strength.

"Phew, we are done here… how long has it been since we got inside?" wondered Berth, sitting above a pile of corpses.

"Around 6 hours, I think we should go back home now, or mommy will get worried," said Fei.

"Yeah, let's march back! Who's taking the items though?" asked Mitiliph.

"My mommy gave me this pendant, it is a special Cursed Accessory that connects to an internal Space, it was made by Kireina-san. I've been putting the corpses there all this time," said Kuro.

"Eh? So that's how it was! I always thought they just disappeared…" said Acaracia.

"Acaracia how can you not realize?" asked Tina.

"Ahaha… Acaracia is a bit of a dummy girl, you see…" said Mitiliph.

"Mitiliph don't say that of me! I thought we were friends… Friends don't call each other dummy!" said Acaracia.

"E-Eh? Don't get mad! You know I am your best friend, relax, relax," said Mitiliph, petting Acaracia and caressing her pale white cheeks.

"Call each other dummy? We always call each other dummy! Haha! I mean look at Lime, he's always like a stupid dog…!" laughed Tina aloud, while rubbing her belly of how much she laughed.

"Grr…! I am not a stupid dog!" said Lime.

"Well then why do you have your fur all nasty with blood then?" asked Asure.

"That's! Aw, mommy will get mad…" said Lime.

"Your mother said that you didn't have to nasty your fur but there you are! Sigh… You are really a hopeless stupid dog…" said Tina.

"And you are a stupid… snake!" said Lime.

"Giiishiii! I am not a snake! Giiisssshiiii!" hissed Tina while waving around her purple-colored scaled tail and taking out her tongue like a snake, showing her sharp fangs.

"See? She's a snake… literally a snake…" said Lime.

"True, haha!" laughed Vina while munching in the orc.

"Sheesh, just how much are you planning on eating, Vina?" asked Asure.

"Eeeeh? I have barely eaten anything!" said Vina.

"Now stop right there, Vina-chan! You ate around ten corpses already! No, I think that one is like your eleventh!" said Kuro.

"B-But… I was hungry…" said Vina.

"Is your stomach endless or something?" asked Asure.

"Hehe, maybe!" laughed Vina innocently.

Suddenly, as the party chatted a bit before walking back to the city, a group of Adventurers came rushing towards them through the large forest!

They were a group of four, seemingly two human guys, one slender and another big and armored, an elven priest, and a Majin mage. (Majin is a race of Demons with purple skin and long black horns adept at dark magic).

They all shared the same trait of being incredibly tired, covered in wounds and blood, and having most of their equipment broken and torn apart…

"Eh, who's there?" asked Kuro, as she raised her weapon and glanced at the four running towards them, jumping off the forest and hitting the ground in the middle of their group.

"Adventurers?" asked Berth.

"They are all wounded…!" said Acaracia.

Kuro quickly inspected their stats through Appraisal, finding that they seemed very mediocre despite their looks, probably being E-Rank Adventurers at most.

"Please help usssss!" cried one of the men.

"Hyaaaa! There was… a giant pack of wolves there and… we almost died!" cried the elven priestess.

"Y-YEAH!" said the armored human men.

"Hahhh… Haahhh… Oh Gods, my lungs…" sighed the Majin man, gasping for air.

"Are you okay? Do you need healing?"

Vina slowly moved towards them while still having the Orc corpse in her hands, her entire face was covered in blood after eating so much, and her crimson eyes were gleaming incredibly brightly and eerily as she was drinking blood just a few moments ago…

All four of the Adventurers smiled towards the gentle voice of a girl, hoping for a cute priestess girl with healing magic to heal their wounds…

But instead, they found a giantess of over two meters, with eerie crimson eyes, a mace filled with blood and guts, carrying a beheaded, half-eaten corpse, and a creepy smile, her entire face covered in blood and flesh… her face was actually quite beautiful and cute, but in the enormous body she had, it only intensified the creepiness of Vina's appearance.

"A-AAAAAAHHHH…!"

"A MONSTEEERRR…!"

"GGGYAAHH…!"

"UNGGHH…!"

Bump! Bump! Bump! Bump!

All four Adventurers fell unconscious due to the horror…

"Eh? What happened? Oh no! Are they okay? Maybe they died?!" asked Vina while being worried.

"…I think you scared them," said Asure.

"Huh? How could I? Mommy always says I am a pretty girl!" said Vina.

"…Well, I won't deny that you bare pretty but-" muttered Asure.

"Aw, you think so too? Hehe!" said Vina, as she kissed Asure's cheeks and left him all covered in blood.

"Ungh… Whatever," he sighed while blushing a bit.

"I will heal them…" said Lime, who despite his fighting style knew Life Attribute Magic and used the Restore Spell to heal the superficial wounds of the four Adventurers.

"Done, that was easy… Erva's has taught me well how to use Magic," said Lime while nodding, he admired Ervas.

"But why did they came screaming here?" asked Kuro.

"I think they said something about Demon Wolves?" asked Berth.

"Demon Wolves… but we killed over 40 a few hours ago, they spawned again?" wondered Kuro.

"Perhaps? Well… Oh! Look, they are coming here, sweet," said Fei, as she was the first to sense a large pack of Demon Wolves rushing towards the party.

"Nice! I needed just a bit more of EXP to reach max level in my current job!" Said Berth.

"Alright, get ready everyone!" said Kuro.

The beasts quickly reached the party as they jumped and roared towards them, however, similarly to the previous pack they beat, all of them met a similar end, as magic and powerful attacks fell over the creatures, pulverizing them in a few minutes.

The strength of Kuro's group was completely on a different level than these Adventurers they helped, but thankfully, they were sleeping soundly now. Although if they saw this, they would have probably fallen unconscious due to shock anyways…

"That wasn't hard at all… did these guys really had that many hardships?" asked Fei while sitting over a large wolf corpse.

"It seems so, maybe they are weaker than us?" asked Mitiliph.

"Eeeh? But we started like two weeks ago… How can these Adventurers be weaker than us? Unless they started just a few days ago?" wondered Acaracia.

"No, I think that we can grow faster than them thanks to Veronica and Ervas teachings," said Berth.

"It's thanks to mommy's guidance! She can make all of us stronger while also having the power to grow faster! Something that only mommy and Ervas can do!" said Kuro.

"I kind of knew that a bit… but I guess Kuro-chan confirms it," said Berth.

"I see… Well, that's how it is then!" said Mitiliph.

"You accepted it pretty fast!" said Acaracia.

"I think they said that it's because both of their guidance effects stacked together, so all the growth increase we get is even greater," said Tina.

"Well, poor little Adventurers… It would be a pity if one of them… woke up with a missing limb or two…" said Vina.

"Stop right there!" said Asure.

"Uwah! I-I was not going to do anything bad! I swear! Don't get mad, Asure-chan…" said Vina.

"Hmmm… We better put these people away from the glutton…" said Tina.

"Y-Yeah, I don't really trust her as much," said Lime, carrying the four people with his great superhuman strength.

"O-Oi! How can you say that of me?!" asked Vina while pouting, as she kept eating the last bits of the Orc corpse, devouring it after a few seconds.

"She already finished the Orc! Damn, what a girl… I wonder how Asure is going to handle her…" sighed Berth.

"H-Handle her?! What do you mean…?" asked Asure.

"Nothing, nothing…" said Berth.

"Hehe, you will handle me?" asked Vina cutely.

"I don't know what he meant!" said Asure while averting his gaze from her.

Kuro quickly saved the corpses in the Inventory Accessory as the group was finally able to go back to the surface, leaving the Adventurers in the Adventurer Guild…

After that day, these four Adventurers spread rumors about a crimson-eyed giant girl who was incredibly creepy, but no one cared about such a stupid story, and it was quickly ignored and forgotten.
