Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

877  Chapter 877- Three Kings Vs Three Overlords (2)

"[Raging Havoc Smash]"

BANG… he blasted a punch in the air that created a tunnel of vacuum that blew apart any and all incoming attacks. The race of Black Ogres were not only blessed in magic, but they were also gifted with a strong physical body for close combat.

And even among his race, Gil-Garna was a step above. The punch he threw just now was one of exclusive abilities of his race that utilised the berserk mana flowing into the body and the powerful physical body of an Ogre to create a physical chaotic effect.

A single punch destroyed all the attacks from the Deep Sea Alligator King. However, the battle was far from over. The eyes of one of the former overlord of the north, said it all.

...

While Gil-Garna was battling the Deep Sea Alligator King, on another corner of the floor, Yverza and Shasurna who were similarly teleported to a random place on the 90th floor, were also engaged in a fierce fight against the Lightning Draconic Serpent and the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon.

The former overlords of the north were now acting as the defence and shield of the dungeon fighting against the rulers of the forest, the seven kings.

From the blinding flashes and roaring explosions that shook the ground for dozens of miles, creating craters and devastating every structure around them, the intensity of the fight could be imagined.

The three overlords of the north although strong, weren't at the levels they were in right now previously. It was only after submitting to Simon and coming to the dungeon did they start growing.

Their level which had stagnated at the late level 400, exploded and helped them reach levels beyond their expectations from the numerous resources they received from the demon and the dungeon.

In fact, the quantity and quality of resources they received, was multiple times greater than even some of the Seven Kings who had their lair in mana enriched places of the forest.

Given the numerous advantages and the effects of pride that extended to any and all beings under Simon's dominion, it was only natural that they broke out of their shells and reached levels unimaginable even to them.

.

BOOOM… two massive forces collided, sending shockwaves that reverberated through the battlefield, shaking the very foundations of the earth. A tiny and a massive figure charged at each other, massive craters formed wherever their attacks landed in a violent display of power.

 One of them had a lower serpentine body with emerald scales decorating their body and utilising a long harpoon while the other figure had a gigantic body with sturdy looking crystal like scales protruding from every corner of their body.

A wide jaw filled with spear like teeth and large horns that looked like millennium old rocks, decorated their head. The being stared on with its two draconic eyes and opened its mouth to dish out a powerful breath attack.

The two figures were none other than Shaurna the Emerald Viperlord and the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon.

Tsk… the former clicked his tongue and swiftly avoided the breath attack. Even for Shasurna that attack was dangerous and would no doubt injure him. He was not Yverza and didn't have the natural fortress like armour the latter did.

That said, as a rare individual from his race, the way he fought and the abilities he possessed did give him the right to call himself one of the seven kings. As could be seen from the way he easily manoeuvred through the terrain going around the many earth spikes, boulder like mountains and cracked earth to reach his opponent.

The terrain no doubt gave an absolute advantage to his opponent; however, that was not a problem for Shasurna. In fact, even as the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon hid himself inside the earth and used its powerful earth manipulation skill to deal surprise attacks from below, he who could see the heat signs of his target thanks to the exclusive skill he possessed could easily dodge them.

Not only that, his attacks were as unusual as his maniacal movements.

 "[Ice Serpent Strike]" Using a rock to change direction abruptly using her tail, Shasurna leapt up, swirled her harpoon and thrust towards the earth thrice.

Extreme cold haze that took the shapes of snakes the next second slithered out of the harpoon and charged in a motion that seemed like they were actual living entities. The ice snakes that were each ten feet long, tunnelled inside the earth while leaving an extreme cold wind behind.

"Haha, this is fun. I have fought with the likes of you before. What was it? Ah, that's right you call yourselves the three overlod of the north. Right, Deep Sea Alligator King was it? Anyways, I have fought with that brat before. However, unlike you, he wasn't able to give me as much excitement in battle as I am having right now".

He kept dishing out attacks as he spoke. Large swathes of earth and mountains were quickly covered in ice wherever he went.

"Honestly, that guy was a disappointment. At first, I thought that I would make him my subordinate; however, when I saw him begging for his life when he lost to me, I felt so repulsed that I changed my mind. Instead, I kicked him out of the western region of the forest".

BOOM… finally as if unable to handle the attack that tunnelled into the ground, the Earth Shattering Lower dragon surfaced out.

Large swathes of sand and dirt fell down along with large clusters of ice, signs that even after tunnelling into the ground, they did not lose any of their power.

 "Aren't you something? This is the first time somebody is able to take on so many of my attacks and still stay standing. How about it? Do you want to become my subordinate? As it turns out, the position of my direct subordinate is empty right now" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If you are willing to bow to me, I can give you that seat. You shall enjoy resources and power that no ordinary monster in this forest would even dream of" Shasurna looked at the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon and offered.

 Even though a large portion of its body was covered in ice and those sturdy ancient crystals on its back were cracked and broken, the latter still stood there standing defiantly.

"Fool who doesn't know what's better for them. Very well, I shall show you how naive your thoughts are. Did you really think you can win against me, one of the seven kings of the Ghastly Winding Forest just because you have breached level 600? Let me show you what it means to stand on the realm that we are in… Arctic Harpoon Fury"

 Right as he spoke those words, a powerful cold to the extreme blizzard emitted out of the harpoon covered the area, freezing the lands in the blink of an eye.

...

 While this happened, in another area, somewhere on the 90th floor.

 "[Titanic Adamantine Barrage]" Yverza who was facing the Lightning Draconic Serpent utilised his own advanced skill.

 "[World Thunder Dome]"

Facing the attack that was a pure marvel of physical strength and extreme defence, the Lightning Draconic Serpent did not dare to slight it and used its own most powerful attack.

The peak of the mountain was immediately covered with crimson thunder clouds that generated an extreme amount of thunder. Even before their attacks collided, the air crackled with raw magic and sheer physical force.

BOOOM… and then with a devastating might that blew apart the very mountain and everything and anything in dozens of miles around them, the two attacks collided.

 "Dammit, I was blown back quite far"

Yverza commented as he slowly pulled himself out of the debris of the mountain. The force from their previous collision had sent him flying from the top of the mountain peak to here. Nevertheless, thanks to his endogenous armour, he suffered minimal damage.

"Alright, I admit you are quite good. Amongst my subordinates, only Grom and Durak can match up to you. However, it is still too naive for you to think that you can defeat me. Lightning Draconinc Serpent, how about we end this…. Huh?"

Yverza who was in the midst of a giving an internal monologue, suddenly noticed that his opponent was missing. Heck, forget about their presence, not even the sign of their existence could be felt.

 The only thing that was left in place of them was the quietly rotating formation which slowly got smaller before disappearing completely.

At the same time, similar scenes also occurred in the other places. Shasurna noticed the disappearance of the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon after it suddenly went berserk and unleashed all of its strength at once to counter his [Arctic Harpoon Fury].

 Inside the submerged chamber, Gil-Garna looked at the disappearing formation at the bottom of the well before muttering in an annoyed and frustrated tone.

"So it ran away huh? Dammit, I will not forgive you for insulting my honour" He grit his teeth releasing his skill [Ogre Overlord's Prestige].

 His skin slowly returned to normal and he was back to his original size from the hulking three meter crimson giant he had become.

[Ogre Overlord's Prestige] A lost ancient exclusive skill that allows him to utilise the full strength in his blood and revert to his original form. Given that he had invested so much of his time and even resorted to using one of his most powerful skills and trump cards to fight his opponent, the latter's retreat naturally pissed him off.
