This chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter, in which the Orc Lord is being attacked by a horde of Orcs. The Orc Master, who has been transformed into a demon, is trying to escape. He is interrupted by the voice of the demon lord, who tells him that he is no longer an Orc, but an "individual geld." This is because he has been corrupted by the "overwhelming power" of the Orcs, and has been put into a state of "torpid state" by the power of his own creation. This is why he is now an "orc disaster."
