Chapter 11 Grombash Shadowbanner
Matthias journeyed the dull land. He thought that it lacked some dangerous terrains so he controlled the independent space and created marshes, mountains, cliffs, rocky canyons, rifts, and craters.
He also created powerful minerals for crafting. It could create competitions, factions, and conflict.
When he stops his journey, he sometimes lays down on the rocky field and also practice wielding his weapon.
Four days later, he encountered his first opponent..
"That's a good weapon you got there, boy. Give it to me, and I'll leave you. Understand?" A creepy man with a dagger as his weapon looked at him with malicious intent.
'What a dumb man.' Matthias shook his head with disappointment.
"What are you shaking your head for, boy?! Don't you know that I'm the terror of Yumen Street?!" The man furiously yelled.
"You're noisy." Matthias said emotionlessly and swung his spear, killing the man.
Two days later, he was faced with a true opponent.
"My name is Grombash Shadowbanner! I don't kill insignificant and unknown individuals! With your imposing weapon, I know you're strong! Who are you?" The orc yelled.
"A great orc shall cause destruction upon one thousand miles. Greetings, Chieftain of the Shadowbanner Horde. I am Matthias Kane, the Creator of Worlds." Matthias was an individual who is proud of powerful and brave creatures. An orc like Grombash is an opponent that he was proud to have.

"Mhm. Now, let us duel!" Grombash Shadowbanner nodded and charged.
Matthias smiled and waved his spear. He then also charged towards the proud orc.
Grombash raised his battle axe up high and slashed down, which was evaded by Matthias. Matthias counterattacked by slashing his spear on the orc's side.
The orc jumped back and attacked once more. This battle went on and on for so long that even the other demonized souls reached the area that produces a huge shockwave every now and then to watch their fight.
Days have passed since they arrived in this hell. Some already discovered the Slaughter Qi that could be acquired by killing.
Some brave souls tried to assassinate them to acquire their Slaughter Qi but failed miserably when the orc and the human banded together to kill the assailant.
The battle went on for days and nights even though there's no sun and moon.
It was the fifteenth day when they stopped. No one won.
They were lying on the ground, gasping for air. Matthias slowly stood up and walked towards the weakened orc.
"Kill me. I am proud to be killed by you." The orc resignedly said.
"You are a worthy opponent, Grombash. I, as a person who has authority in this world, could grant you anything that you want. Weapon, power, knowledge, and even reincarnation. You could go back to Alphan and lead your land once more. Tell me." Matthias said, which startled the orc.
"Why? You could defeat me with your powers, but why did you fight me physically and fight me for days? Didn't you want to win?" The orc asked.
"I fought not because of winning, but because of finding a rightful opponent. No one would be able to defeat me if I used my powers, so why would I use it in a match?"
"And besides, you, as a creature that I created, embodies an orc that is rarely seen in any universe; a noble orc. One who respects the strength of his opponents, one who can accept his loss, and one who is proud and brave. So why would I defeat you?" Matthias smiled
"So, what do you want, proud warrior?"
Grombash thought for a moment. A while later he looked at Matthias, "I can think of nothing besides the betterment of my tribe."
Hearing that, Matthias laughed. "I expected that that would be your answer. Now, as the ruler, I elevate your horde in this domain to the race of War Demons, the peak of the Orc Race. I also grant you the rank of Duke, granting you and your race a territory. Your tribe will now be able to reincarnate on your domain."
"I grant the current chieftain of your tribe the knowledge of Body Tempering and the whereabouts of the Divine Continent where humans and elves reside."
"Divine Continent? There is another land?" The orc's eyes grew wide open.
"Yes. Do you think those weak people just came out of nowhere?" Matthias looked at the clueless orc amusingly.
"Now, I shall grant you your reward." He waved his hand, and some orcs across the battlefield transformed.
Their muscles grew rapidly, the horns that they had when they turned into a demon grew longer and taller, and their strength grew rapidly.
p
The watching crowd were baffled by the sudden change. They ran for their lives because they were scared.
When the transformation finished, Grombash stood up slowly. His skin was covered with reptilian-like scales, his eyes were blood red, and his hair grew long, and his horns were longer than his underlings.
The orc was silent for a while, admiring his newfound power. "Am I still an orc?" He asked.
"Yes. Orcs were boars that were given a drop of a War Demon's essence blood." Matthias nodded while reading the introductions about orcs.
The orc went silent. Suddenly, he kneeled, which baffled Matthias, "What are you doing?"
"I pledge my allegiance unto you, Lord. Accept me." The deep and scary voice of the orc resounded in the silent surroundings.
"Are you sure?" Matthias asked.
"Yes, Lord." The orc insisted. "An orc fights to the death, but a wise orc submits to someone strong and stays loyal to his master until the end."
Matthias smiled and laughed loudly. "I accept your allegiance, Grombash. I shall grant you the title of 'Mul'tas'."
"Warlord?" The orc's eyes shone.
Suddenly, in one of the craters, a tall pillar rose to the sky.
"I gave you the authority 1000km around that pillar. That will be your domain."
"Prepare yourselves, as I will summon True Demons tomorrow. They will be powerful." Matthias reminded him and flew away.
When he was gone, Grombash flew to his territory and stood at the top of the pillar. He used his authority to create a horn and blew on it.
The horn was heard around the realm. When the orcs of the Shadowbanner Horde heard it, they rushed towards the pillar.
Thousands upon thousands of orcs rushed towards the pillar and assembled there.
When there's no orc arriving anymore, the earth beneath the territory quaked and parted, then, stone walls rose from the gap, protecting the territory.
When the first second of the next day arrived, Matthias accessed the independent space panel and created demons that had fast reproduction speed.
