(A/N: The story was inspired by "Yellowness" on fanfiction.net by MidasMan. While the first 6 chapters are pretty much copy/paste and not something I'm not proud of, it does get better and the plot begins to change once you get past it. With that in...
(A/N: With the introduction of Optics and his worker crew in chapter 29, I wanted to build on his character more than what's originally known about him! With that in mind, I hope you enjoy the chapter! Make sure to give it a review and what I can improve in the future!)
[Timeskip - 3 Days]
[Narrator's POV]
A swordsman with red hair swiftly decapitated yet another beastman soldier with a swing of his firey weapon. He took a deep breath and exhaled before locking his red eyes onto another savage beast, who was charging at him with clear killing intent.
"It just never seems to end..." The man muttered under his breath, taking a defensive stance and letting the beastman close the gap between them. 'This beastman is sloppy, just like most of them we've fought thus far...' He thought to himself, looking at how the beastman ran at him with his weapon and his posture.
And just like the beastman the red-haired swordsman ended only moments ago, this savage soldier found his head and right arm separated from his main body as the fresh cuts spewed blood all over. The swordsman wiped away the small amount of blood that found its way onto his cheek before repeating the process.
The swordsman's gear was nothing special, yet it was visually striking for anyone that laid their eyes on him. The red detailings littered around his protective fighting gear were definitely a contributing factor to the impressive attire. Furthermore, the swordsman proudly wore a flaming flower sigil on his right shoulder and the centre of his chest, acting as the final 'touch' to the look.
The red-haired swordsman was none other than Optics, leader of the worker team Blazing Crimson.

'Still,' Optics dodged an attack from a beastman that aimed to catch him off-guard by flanking his left side. "You shouldn't underestimate a beastman no matter their level of strength..." He plunged his sword straight through the beastman's chest.
The beastman violently coughed and choked before the life in his eyes drained out of him. Optics looked around and saw no more beastmen in the nearby vicinity, giving him a momentary break to relax and meet up with his other team members.
As he walked towards his team, he could see that they had already gathered and were waiting for him. "Hey, Optics, looks like we've cleared out the immediate area. What's the plan now?" One of his teammates asked, holding his spear at the ready.
Optics looked around for a second time, taking note of the current situation. The battle between the Beastmen Nation and the Dragonic Kingdom had only raged on for three days, yet neither side seemed to be making any headway.
But that was a good thing, at least for the Dragon Kingdoms' inhabitants.
Looking back at the history books, battles with the beastmen nation typically lasted less than a week. As a matter of fact, battles could've ended in half the time. But, the beastmen usually toyed with the humans, feasting on their fear and flesh while delving into carnal pleasures via innocent females.
