Overlord Empress - Chapter 94 ALLOUT WAR PART 2

Ichika had a total of close to 40000 troops, with 6 sovereign level monsters. While the enemy numbers at 400 million elite monsters and 6 sovereign rulers. Now matter how you look at it, the odds are definitely against Ichika and her team. But she didn’t show any signs of fear, rather her blood was boiling with excitement.

“My lady, long time no see”- Ornstein

Ornstein is one of the 3 western dragons in Atlas kingdom. He is the first Neo dragon to be captured by her teacher and was sealed inside the Pagoda. It took Ichika a long battle to fully tame him. But given Ichika’s character, she treated them all well and so won the respect of these Dragons. She even provided them with high quality resources to help refine their bloodline.

The primordial dragons are powerful beasts physically, but they have 2 major setbacks. One they are weak to strong soul attacks and second,they have no control over their berserk state, hurting their own allies during the fights.

But Neo dragons are the hybrids of primordial dragons. They are good at both physical and spiritual attacks. Because of their strong soul, they have full control over their berserk state.

Ornstein is a silver scaled western dragon, with four wings, razor sharp teeth and sharp claws. Even though he is still in his monster form, the type 15 armor was still bound to his body, covering all the weak parts on his body.

“Ornstein, I expect a lot from you today. But at the same time, don’t look down on our enemies and stray far from the formations.”- Ichika

“My Lady, I will sure punish him well, if he shows too much enthusiasm and messes up our battle formations.”- Rodin

Rodin is the second Neo dragon and is a red scaled western dragon. He is usually calm, but he is the one who enjoys the fights the most. He is the second strongest monster in Atlas Kingdom.

The final Neo dragon is Nioh. He is a golden scaled western dragon and is easily the strongest of all the monsters in Atlas kingdom. But he is not the talkative type, he would rather like to spend most of his time cultivating than doing something that is meaningless.

“Nioh, Rodin, Ornstein, E’Lara and Myself. We will all take care of the new enemies, while Manu will be on standby and provides support depending on the situation. The golems will be completely focusing on the defence.”- Ichika

The newly arrived golems completely went into defence mode, while the monsters are just standing in the rear and provide support to the golems.

On the other side Dahaka and Gundahar were still exchanging blows between them. Dahaka controlled his scaled human form to chop at Gundahar with his sword. The attack may seem from very far away, but it appeared in front of Gundahar in a split second, intending to cut him into two.

Gundahar just teleported from the place to a safe distance  and swung his twin battle axes at Dahaka. The attack created X shaped slash attack and was heading towards Dahaka, but he was able to block the attacks at the last moment by summoning the scaled human form to his side. But the scaled human form was pushed back few kilometers by Gundahars attack, before gaining foot.

By that time, Gundahar started to rush at Dahaka and struck him once more with his axes,  with the flat side of the battle axes, sending Dahaka flying.

But this time he didn’t run towards Dahaka, instead towards the scaled human form. He completely infused his battle axes with his axe intent, whose pressure started to weigh like mountains on all the monsters.

As soon as he arrived in front of the scaled human form, he swung his axes in a vertical swing, easily cleaving the scaled human form in two.

Before Dahaka could react, Gundahar threw both of his axes at him, while he simply covered the scales with his spiritual pressure, pinning them at their place.

The axes cut through major part of Dahaka’s back and crown of the head and returned back to Gundahars hands. Dahaka gathered the last bits of energy and moved towards Gundahar, swing his tentacles at an unbelievable speed. All he needed was one lucky attack with the tentacles, to turn the tables of the fight. But what happened next almost scared Dahaka, as Gundahar used the flat side of his axes to block and deflect all the tentacles with high precision and accuracy.

Dahaka now lost complete hope after using all of his trump cards and yet he didn’t manage to inflict a single wound on his enemy. Before he could announce his surrender, he was pummeled black and blue by Gundahar, not giving him any chance to voice his thoughts.

The subordinates of Dahaka could only stop their poor struggle against the golems, after seeing the pitiful state of their invincible boss. Realizing their defeat, they all started to surrender one by one, while few of them still tried to save their boss and escape from the place. But before they can even plan, Gundahar threw the massive body of Dahaka onto the 6th floor. The moment, he landed, soul chains started to bind him causing him immense pain, as he no longer can control the energy to heal himself from his wounds. Gundahar also collected all of Dahaka scales and piling them up as a mountain in front of the chained Dahaka.

“The moment you swear your allegiance, you will be restored to your full health. Nearly 70% of your subordinates already surrendered to us swearing blood oaths of loyalty and to never defy our orders. If you also surrender, as a sovereign ruler you can still command your subordinates and will only be answerable to Ichika. You have a week’s time to make the decision, if you still show any signs of rebellion, you and your body parts will end up becoming valuable materials in alchemy and smithing.”- Gundahar

Even though Dahaka was crying with pain, each and every word of Gundahar was clearly heard by him. He couldn’t help but shiver after listening to the cold emotionless voice. He could clearly sense the threat in Gundahars voice and if he refused, he will surely end up as valuable ingredients. After all that is the fate of most of the powerful sovereign level monsters.

Outside on the battlefield.

With more than 70% of the enemies surrendering, the golems easily took care of the remaining 30% of the Dahaka soldiers. Now Ichika forces also improved from 40000 thousand to 12 million forces strong.

Ichika didn’t push them directly into the battle, but gave them some time to recover their energy inside the Atlas Kingdom.

Ichika’s entire forces took up circular formation, after they defeated Dahaka and his subordinates. Gundahar also arrived by Ichika’s Side. Even after fighting Dahaka for a long time, there wasn’t any signs of exhaustion

Soon Ichika felt strong presences of all the 6 sovereign monsters, approaching them from all the sides and surrounding them.

Even the approaching monsters were surprised at how easily Dahaka was defeated. The had initial plans of joining forces with Dahaka, but now they had to start a new war of their own.

E’Lara and Ichika both equipped their bows with special arrows, created by Ichika’s storage seals, which were improved and perfected through the passage of years.

E’Lara and Ichika shot their arrows in east and west directions. On eastern side, Angila, the Black Shuck was leading the forces. On the western sides, it was Surale leading his mermen soldiers.

At first they were surprised to sense, that they were under attack. But sensing only one arrow coming towards their direction, they ignored it and just dodged the arrows. But from the beginning these arrows were not meant to attack Surale and Angila, it was aimed at their soldiers.

The arrows exploded, when they reached the center of the enemy forces. Soon millions of arrows were released from the explosion and started to rain on all the enemy forces. Most of their arrows, easily found their targets and pierced them. Then the arrow heads started to glow red, with several runes activating on them. As soon as all the runes activated, it rained blood and gore on the battlefield, severely injuring and killing major part of the 2 sovereign ruler monsters forces.

Angila and Surale were completely caught off guard by Ichika’s attack, but before they could react from the attack, two more arrows were launched towards their direction.

Surprising both Angila and Surale, this time the first arrow exploded way in front of their soldiers, releasing huge quantities of foul and acidic air in the surroundings, which started to spread towards them at a rapid pace.

But before they could decide to blow away the foul air away, the second arrows approached Angila and Surale, scaring them away and forcing them onto defensive position. This time the second arrows just exploded into a ball of fire.

This ball of fire came into the contact with the previous gaseous attack and exploded creating a chain like effect in the surroundings. Compared to the previous attack, only few of the enemy soldiers suffered injuries, as they are already became cautious with the previous attack.

But the attack was only to create distraction and divert the enemies attention. With smoke as cover, Rodin and Ornstein unleashed their fire and light breathe attacks on Angila, while Nioh unleashed his lightning  breathe attack on Surale.

These breathe attacks hit the forces of Angila and Surale in the middle,creating huge casualties. Angila and Surale were so scared by the breathe attacks, that they decided to slow down their advancement. They will only rush towards the battlefield, when the other sovereign rulers and their subordinates engage the humans in the battle. Otherwise, if they blindly move on, there will be only the two of them who will survive,while their soldiers will end up as nutrient for the soil.

After successfully blocking the advancement of Surale and Angila, Ichika turned towards Kishi and Selkie. Ichika went through several hand heals, covering the sky with pitch dark clouds.Soon these clouds started to rumble and started to rain on Kishi and Selkie forces.

Selkie is a water type monster, so she found the weather strange. But after noticing there is nothing with the rain water, they started to move forward, but a bit slowed down. Selkie had a bad premonition regarding this rain.

At the same time, the black clouds also started to generate lightning, with several lightning arcs coiling around like dragon, ready to devour any poor soul they were targeted at.

Selkie, Kishi and their forces were completely terrified by the loud lightning sounds. Most of the monsters fear fire, but what most of the powerful monsters fear the most is lightning. As lightning is more destructive in nature and they all really had bad memories surviving the lightning tribulations during their breakthroughs.
