Overlord Empress - Chapter 92 DAHAKA GOES ALLOU
*BOOM* Dahaka exploded in fury as he was tossed away like a toy, with his aura bursting out, the mountain rubble in, around and on him was reduced to debris. This is his first time in trillion of years, he was on the receiving end of the attacks.
He who was a sign of terror, during his early stages of rising, felt completely weak for a second against Gundahar. He started to remember how he rose to the position of sovereign ruler from a mere pawn to the previous ruler. There wasn’t a day, he didn’t fight as a soldier on the front lines, with each and every success he started to rise through the ranks. To keep up these so called ranks, he even resorted to treacherous and cruel tactics against both allies and enemies. It is this cruelty, wars and strong determination to succeed, helped him challenge the previous ruler.
That day he shook the entire Atala world, by killing one of the oldest and strongest sovereign ruler in a one on one fight, brutally killing him and burning his body to complete ashes. After becoming ruler himself, he had a few rebellions here and there, but he completely destroyed them with an iron fist. Now after trillions of years, he started to enjoy the word peace, which eluded most of the monsters on Atala. After being the apex predator for a long time, he forget the thrills and madness he used to enjoy during every fight he had.
Now after feeling helpless in front of Gundahar for a moment, he started to remember how much he enjoyed his life as a soldier and if he doesn’t fight with everything he had today, his life will certainly be questionable in the future. With a furious roar he completely released the strength suppressing seals on his body and started to transform into his complete leviathan form.
Leviathans are said to possess bloodline of world devourers, ancient mythical beasts, who survived and grew strong by absorbing the entire energy from worlds. Their body is so long, that they can easily cover 10% of even the smallest sovereign state world, which is easily trillions of kilometers long.
Dahaka only released his complete leviathan form when facing life and death situation. He surely felt this is such a situation. With the seals gone, his body started to increase in size, length and girth with his aura rising every second, gaining attention from almost everyone from Atala world. Few of the oldest sovereign ruler monsters are very familiar with this aura, as they personally witnessed Dahaka easily killing the previous sovereign ruler, after releasing his complete form.
Feeling something interesting going on in Dahaka’s territory, they also started to focus their soul sense at the current battlefield.
Dahaka initial size of 5 km long body reached 50800 km long and his girth increased from 50 diameters to 2 km diameters. His gray ash scaled body turned into completely red. Wings started to open at every 10 km long, lifting his entire body into the air and increasing his speed by large amounts. The 16 bladed like tentacles, completely turned to pitch black sword extensions from his upper body. While the 8 horns over his head, combined together to form a single large horn, with a sharp edge.
*ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRR*
With an earth shattering roar, he rushed towards Gundahar and rammed him straight in his stomach, sending him flying into another mountain. But Dahaka was no fool to think that single attack took care of Gundahar, he started to completely gather the water from the surroundings in front of him into a huge ball and started to compress it with his wind energy and shooting the pressurized water as a cannon towards the location of Gundahar. As soon as Dahaka’s attack hit the mountain, it completely reduced the mountain into a huge crater of 50 km diameter.
But Dahaka didn’t let down his guard and started to sense the whole area for any signs of life and he was clearly surprised by the result. His attack was only able to destroy the overcoat on Gundahars body, while he didn’t receive a single injury.
Dahaka was completely at loss of words and can only stare foolishly at Gundahar. Gundahar just dusted the debris of his body and motioned with his right hand, Inviting Gundahar to attack again.
Dahaka rose higher into the sky and started to mold fire and wind energies into a huge fireball, whose heat alone can burn a highgod into dust. This time the fireball was launched at Gundahar at quicker speed than the water cannon.
This time Gundahar used the battle axe in his left hand and gave a simple downward swing, creating a arc, which reduced the fireball into two equal halves, which deflected into two different directions and changed the topography of the land.
Dahaka quickly realized that large attacks are completely useless against Gundahar and started to gather fire and earth energies over his head. Soon these energies combined to form into lava and started to rain on Gudahar like bullets. Each of these bullets are as deadly as the previous water cannon.
Instead of attacking, Gundahar just started to dodge all of these attacks with minimum effort, like he was dancing at a ball. While dodging he also started to move higher into the sky, to stand face to face with Dahaka
*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM *
All the fire bullets missed their target and struck the land below, exploding and creating few more craters and killing few of the unfortunate monsters, who were caught in the explosion.
“If it is your full strength, then you have no chance of winning against me. This level of strength is not even enough to consider as a warm up for me. So I will give you 2 more moves to impress me. If you still failed to make me serious, then It will be my turn to attack and you better be prepared for that”- Gundahar
Dahaka was completely scared by Gundahar’s provocation. My lord, what do you mean you are not warmed up yet?These 3 attacks are enough to make any other ruler to fight me with their full strength.
He started to look over the entire battlefield once again. The situation was still against his subordinates and they are being captured with every attack from the golems. Then he looked over Ichika, Manu and E’Lara who seemed completely harmless when compared to Gundahar. Did he pick the wrong opponent?
Ichika felt his gaze and turned her head towards his direction and gave him a smirk, completely looking down on him and infuriating Dahaka. He started to curse Ichika in his heart.
‘Bitch, I may not win against this brute, that doesn’t mean You can look down on me. Let’s see, I still can use 2 more attacks freely right?’
This time instead of gathering the elemental energies, he started to devour wind energy and started to collect it in his mouth and mixing it with fire energy. After collecting enough energy, he used it as a fire breath attack, which shot towards Ichika, Manu and E’Lara like a meteor on fire.
Ichika and E’Lara completely ignored the attack and were completely focusing on the battle between Golems and monsters, While Manu moved in front of the trajectory of the breath attack. After witnessing his cold emotionless eyes, Dahaka couldn’t help but shiver. But he was completely confident that his breath attack would at least deal severe injuries to the 3 of them.
Manu just sent a simple quick and sharp jab with his right hand at the breath attack. The attack may seem simple, but only those who are personally experiencing the attack could tell the boundless physical energy behind that jab.
The jab took the physical manifestation of a huge golden fist and collided with the breathe attack, reducing it to nothing. Everyone who were witnessing this scene were completely shocked with their jaws hitting the floor. Dahaka had his eyes almost popping out after watching his attack easily neutralized.
He started to look at Gundahar in his front and Manu down below. Suddenly he felt Gundahar looked more human, compared to the true monster down below. He can’t help but feel, his chances of surviving are more against Gundahar and started to regret wasting one chance.
But he quickly regained his senses and decided to go all out with everything he had, as he is clear to some extent of his enemies strength. Not only he had to fight against this brute, but there is another monstrous freak among the enemies. For for his sanity sake, he decided to treat the 2 women as similar to his level. He must quickly create an opening and escape from this place, as the odds are certainly against him.
He tightly gritted his teeth, slowly each and every red scale on his body started to peel off, from his skin. Each red scale of his is 2 meters long and with each scale peeling off his body, it caused him so much pain, that he has to let out a loud bellowing sound, which caused most of the monsters to feel pity towards him.
Ichika was also impressed by Dahak’s determination to survive, but she was more than interested to know, what is he going to do with the red scales.
Slowly close to 25 million red scales started to float in front of Dahaka, with just a thought from him, the red scales started to lit up runes. If Ichika was any other cultivator, she would easily ignore these runes, but after going through E’Lara memories and so many books in the library, she recognized them as void seals, that can easily tear through space like paper and close the distance between the user and the enemy in a split second.
Receiving information from Ichika, Gundahar took out both of his axes and placed them in front of him in a crossed shape, as if to defend himself from the surprise attack.
Dahaka’s entire body was bleeding by now, but he was still focused on his attack. Soon all of the scales started to rotate in a circular pattern and formed into a massive drill like structure, with a sharp point.
Once the drill was formed, it started to rotate at blinding speeds and tore through space, disappearing from the view of most of the observers. But the next time it appeared, it was at point black range to Gundahar, who was able to block the sudden attack with his twin battles axes, at the last moment. He was forced backwards for a few kilometers before he was able to neutralize the force behind the attack.
“Nice attack. With this your chances to attack are over. Now it’s my turn, be prepared to survive the attacks, as your defence is reduced by a lot, without the scales.”- Gundahar
Dahaka just gave a smirk, before the red scales once more disappeared from the place and appeared in front of him. They quickly dissolved from the drill pattern and started to take the shape of a fully armored human, with a sword and shield in front of him. It was clear to all, that he copied the design from Golems.

Author’s Note: yesterday’s missing chapter. There will be another chapter 6 hours from now. At first I decided to drag the fight for 2 to 3 chapters, but I realized in my foolishness, that I have more fights coming up in the following chapters. So with my limited imagination, I decided to hold back few of the fighting concepts for future and instead focus on the short but quick fights. If anyone have any idea’s, they can share with me.
