Overlord Empress - Chapter 93 ALLOUT WAR PART 1

Every sovereign ruler monster has numerous thoughts going through their head, after witnessing the battle between Gundahar and Dahaka. They are also clearly impressed by Manu, with the way he neutralized the breath attacks. At present, they have only one question in mind. Will they stand any chance against these Human cultivators?

All the sovereign ruler monsters, started to have a heated discussion regarding this topic, using their soul sense.

“Brothers, does anyone think Dahaka is going to win his fight?”- Aqrabuamelu

Aqrabuamelu is the strongest of all the sovereign rulers on Atala. He is a scorpion man, who is said to be the descendent of the ancient underworld monster Tiamat. His head, torso and arms are that of human, while his remaining body is that of a black scorpion.

“Brother Aqra, It is very clear, that today Dahaka is going to lose for sure. Didn’t your hear the challenger words ‘the fight is not even considered as a warm up for him’.

If I wasn’t witnessing this fight, I would have surely scoffed at him for taking Dahaka lightly. Even if Dahaka wins this fight by luck, then there is that another man, who is more creepier than the challenger. Just thinking about his fist attack is enough to give me nightmares for a few years. He is absolutely stronger than me.”- Anglia

Anglia is a Black Shuck dog, with the bloodline of legendary monster Cerberus. He has shaggy black fur, sharp fangs and crimson red eyes. He is physically the weakest of all the sovereign rulers, but still none of the other sovereign rulers will take him lightly.

He has a nickname Ghostly hound, completely erasing his presence and stalking his prey. Once he sets his eyes on a target, the target’s death is 100% confirmed for sure. Once he marked someone, his eyes will become completely crimson marking the soul of the target. Unless the target soul’s strength is greater than Anglia’s, the target will die within a year for sure. It is because of his soul attacks and frightful stalking abilities, no one wants to get on his bad side. Physical injuries can be healed over time, but soul injury can only be healed by a powerful cultivation method or some treasures, pills or herbs.

The remaining sovereign rulers also has no doubt, that Dahaka will surely lose against these human cultivators.

“Ignore Dahka for now. First we need to figure out, why did they arrive on our world? What are their goals? Will they be satisfied with defeating Dahaka only or will they come after the rest of us?”- La Guita Xica

La Guita Xica is a large green coloured serpentine dragon, whose size will make Dahaka look like a child in front of him. He is the  oldest, wisest and ranks second in terms of strength among all the sovereign rulers, second only to Aqrabuamelu.

He is famous for his poison breath attacks, which will corrode both your physical body and soul. But because of his age, he likes to experiment with various poisonous spiritual herbs in his territory.

La Guita Xica words were almost on point. Now all the rulers started to think about the same questions, will it only end with Dahaka’s defeat or will they be next target.

“Are you all forgetting something more serious here? The humans are using an army of powerful soldiers to capture Dahaka’s subordinates with every second into that huge tower.

It is clear from their actions, they invaded our world with full preparations in order to completely capture our world. From what my Grandpa told me, Humans are greedy in nature and they will completely take this chance, to make use of their superior strength. I am afraid, their intentions are anything but good.”- Surale

Surale is a merman humanoid monster. Right half of his body is completely green, while the left half of his body is completely white. His arms are long, with scales all over. He is known for his titanic strength and over cautiousness. If he even felt small threat against him, he will never rest until he took care of that threat.

La Guita Xica completely agreed with Surale, as he also felt the same feeling from these humans. While the remaining rulers started to go through all the options of their survival against these humans and sadly realized that the probability of winning is zero, as long as they fight individually against them.

“Brother Surale, it seems like you are afraid by the strength of these humans. But remember as a sovereign ruler, you should not be such weak hearted individual, you must go through all the possibilities of winning before giving up”- Selkie

Selkie is a sea creature and human hybrid. She retains the look of Seal while in sea and the body of human, if she ever wants to step on land.

Selkie and Surale has a lot of bad blood with them, dating back to their ancestors. Both of their clans fought for the domain of all the seas on Atala for ages,but only ended up hurting each other. So they can’t help but come to a decision, to divide the seas equally among each other. Even though there is peace among the clans during the present generation, Selkie will never let go any chance to  make fun of Surale.

“Shut Up, bitch. Don’t talk like you are stronger than me and can win against these humans. You fate will be the same as us, when they are done with Dahaka.”- Surale

“Hehe brother Surale, you mistook sister Selkie words. It’s right we can’t win against them, if we fight them individually. But what are our chances of winning, if we all gather our complete forces and fight them together at the same time? I am sure, if we fight together, we will not only survive, but we will also be able to protect our territories and world from these humans.”- Kishi

Kishi is a two faced monster with both Hyena and human face. He is the most cowardly one among all the sovereign rulers. Kishi only moves with his entire subordinates, wherever he goes. He will not hesitate to sacrifice his own subordinates, if there is a chance at his survival.

Currently he was completely terrified by the display of strength from the humans. Even if you give him more than 10 lives, he will never win against the humans with his current strength. His only choice is to attack them all together, that way he can also hide his cowardice from his subordinates.

Surale also calmed down after listening to kishi and felt it is the only option of his survival. Soon they started to make plans to completely go all out against the human invaders.

“Before we begin the fight, I have a request to make”- Aqrabuamelu

Request? What can the request be at this time of emergency? Could it be he wants major share of the spoils of the war, when this is over.

“Brother Aqra, what is this request about?”- La Guita Xica

“If there is a chance, I want to capture the humans alive. Normally it is a known fact, that we monsters are easily 3 to 4 times stronger than the same level human cultivator. But currently all of these humans showed incredible strength and are easily fighting against Dahaka and his subordinates.

If we can capture them alive, then we can torture them and learn the secret behind them. If we can get our hands on their secret, our strength will reach unprecedented levels. I don’t want to waste this rare opportunity to get stronger. If you want, you can have all their treasures, just give the captured humans to me”- Aqrabuamelu

The other sovereign rulers were clearly shocked after listening to Aqrabuamelu weird request. For a moment, they felt like fools for overlooking the strength of the humans. But at the same time, they are clearly on guard against Aqrabuamelu.

Aqrabuamelu is currently the strongest of all the monsters on Atala. If by any chance he will get his hands on the secret, then he will become even more stronger than all of them combined. If that happens, then there is no difference between being captives of the humans or Aqrabuamelu.

La Guita Xica separately sent requests to all the monster rulers apart from Aqrabuamelu, to definitely kill all the human invaders, if they get their chance. But they have to hide these news from Aqrabuamelu, as they definitely needs his strength to currently fight against these humans.

After going through few more details and coming to agreement regarding the spoils of the war, all of the sovereign ruler monsters started to gather their subordinates and started to personally lead them to the battlefield.

The combined army and strength of these monsters are enough to send other human sovereign rulers running for their life.

6 sovereign ruler monsters, with close to 400 million powerful subordinates, started to head towards the battlefield and preparing to pincer attack the humans and their forces from all the directions.

The sovereign monsters decided to bring their elite subordinates only, as the weaker monsters will only be caught between the crossfire.

From the beginning, Ichika was completely using her soul sense, to observe all the movements of the monsters on Atala. The moment, she sensed the large army approaching them, she couldn’t help but sigh.

Then with just a thought of her, the remaining 13000 golden armored soldiers, started to appear on the battlefield and took up a arc formation at the rear side of Ichika and the others.

While the golems, who are equipped with bow and arrows, moved closer to Ichika’s group at the center. Now they can easily attack any monster from both the front and rear of their formations.

“Summoning : Everyone assemble”- Ichika

Soon various monsters that Ichika tamed on the 8th floor, Atlas Kingdom, started to appear on the battlefield too. But instead of their monster form, they appeared in human form, covered in black armor, personally forged by Ichika herself.

After using the resources, pills and cultivation techniques from Ichika, most of these monsters are only a single step away from sovereign level. Close to 10000 monsters appeared on the battlefield.

Of all these monsters, the aura of 3 monsters was particularly stronger than all of them combined. These 3 are the sovereign monsters of Atlas Kingdom.
