the sharp spines would slash the ogres’ mouths, throats, and intestines, inflicting pain during consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugo seized the leg bone first, blood dripping from its mouth, face twisted in fury, crunching loudly as it chewed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the old chieftain, frowning, one hand resting on its bloated belly, began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last was Karu; though pain echoed in its mouth and gut as it ate, it remained joyful, treating every morsel with solemn reverence, licking even the tiniest bone fragments clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning cracked, thunder rolled, rain poured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dishes no other race would dare touch—live drillworm sashimi, rusted nails stewed with troll toes, pickled raw thunder-rhino bladders, sliced poisonous mushrooms—were continuously brought to the table before the three ogres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ogres devoured the armored shells of rotting bone beetles, their stomachs swollen into three bloated meat mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The banquet continues!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With victory still undecided, the old chieftain belched and ordered the butcher to bring more food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chieftain, all food is gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butcher: “The clan’s stores are completely exhausted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugo surged to its feet and bellowed its victory: “I always finish first!

I am not full.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, it rose abruptly, strode toward the old chieftain, and swung its massive fist down onto the old chieftain’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With sudden, brutal blows, the old chieftain died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karu turned to the butcher and grinned: “Cut my father’s body and the food in his stomach into two halves.
