A battle of 1 vs 12,000. Even if Theo was a being from the 75th floor, he couldn’t handle over 10,000 enemies on his own. But Theo had faith.

“My slave Gaeron, come forth, meow!”

Theo cried out, holding the rainbow-colored necklace he was wearing. He had an excellent slave named Gaeron, a bug hunter who had once been a racial god in the past.

Ribbit!

The ground beneath Theo’s feet transformed into a black swamp, and Gaeron, a giant 30-meter frog, emerged.

“Gaeron, punish the enemies, meow!”

Theo cried out, looking down at Ulrich and other giant black orcs from atop Gaeron’s head.

-Yes, Master Theo!

Then,

“How dare you! Do you proclaim to be a subordinate of the great black dragon in my presence?!”

The king of the giant black orcs, Ulrich, shouted in anger.

He was the king of millions of black orcs and a devoted follower of the great black dragon, desiring to be the dragon’s subordinate. And yet, this lowly cat merchant dared to impersonate as a subordinate of the great black dragon?!

“You bastard! How dare you insult me? Kill him!”

Pwoooo.

At Ulrich’s command, his subordinates began blowing their horns.

Then

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Footsteps echoed from all directions. The millions of black orc soldiers who were conquering the 40th floor gathered, beginning to surround Theo.

“Meow?! What, meow?”

The enemy leader who was suddenly outraged called all his subordinates, as their god was insulted, and as their numbers increased to 5 million,

“I am really the subordinate of the great black dragon, the deadly yellow cat Theo Park, meow! It’s even written on this gold badge, proof that I’m an elite wandering merchant, meow!”

Theo, flustered, took out his prized gold plaque and tried to resolve the misunderstanding with the enemy.

However,

“Hmph! Who do you take me for, a fool?! Isn’t that something you can write as you please?! Fine! If you are really a subordinate of the great black dragon, show me proof!”

“What proof are you talking about, meow?!”

“If you are a follower of the great black dragon, surely you have significant proof!”

“Meow? There’s no such thing, meow. Chairman Park didn’t give me any, meow…”

A disheartened Theo answered, his voice filled with sorrow. Chairman Park hadn’t even provided proof… I’m so sad, meow…

“No proof? Then just die!!! Attack!”

Pwooooom!

With Ulrich’s command, the horns sounded again.

“Waaaaah! Kill the enemy!”

Driven by the sound of the horns, 5 million black orcs charged to kill just Theo.

So began the battle of 2 vs 5 million.

“Gaeron, can we win, meow?”

-Master Theo, I’m a bug hunter, you know…

Though Gaeron was strong against insects, he was weak in this kind of battle. Besides, there was no water around to help him unleash his full strength.

“Then there’s no other way, meow! Iona, wake up, meow!”

Although he didn’t want to ask for help, it was an emergency. It was not the time to consider such things. Theo hurriedly awakened Iona, who was hanging from his tail. Iona had been brought along in the rush.

“Kyoo- Vice Chairman Theo, what’s going on?”

Iona, annoyed at being awakened by Theo, got up. If she was awakened for nothing, she wouldn’t let it go. Her anger gauge was at level 1.

“Iona! Now’s not the time to sleep, meow!”

“Kyoo-? Not time to sleep… huh?! Black orcs?”

Theo’s words, Iona looked around and discovered 5 million
