Overlord Empress - Chapter 95 NEO DRAGON VS POISON DRAGON

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.

Following Ichika’s nature manipulation, E’Lara launched another arrow rain storm on both Kishi and Selkie forces. But the arrows that were used this time were simple rusted copper arrows, that can be found at any blacksmiths for the cheapest of the prices.

Apart from gravity acting on these copper arrows, there were nothing special to them. So most of the monsters were easily able to dodge these arrows and few of them even caught most of these arrows, as a show of power. While most of the arrows remained pierced into the ground.

As soon as the arrows were launched, the clouds started to rumble even more and lightning descended on the land, burning most of the trees to ashes. But this didn’t end there. Copper is a good conductor of lightning and can also be used as a lightning rod.

These lightning were attracted towards all the monsters who caught the arrows and the place where these arrows struck. Soon it started to rain lightning shower on all the monsters, reducing most of them to ashes and charring most of the surviving monsters.

Kishi and Selkie suffered minor injuries, which started to heal at a rapid pace. But they were completely crestfallen, after noticing the casualties of their subordinates. They only have one thought at this moment, is it worth to sacrifice so many of their own subordinates against this powerful foe. But they have already set out in order to destroy this strong enemy, as they don’t stand a chance individually against them.

They quickly steeled their hearts and slowed down their pace even more and started to move forward even more cautiously.

Now Ichika concentrated on the forces of Aqrabuamelu and La Guita Xica, who are coming from north and south directions. Just from their aura, Ichika could tell they are the strongest sovereign monsters on this world. So instead of attacking both of them, she decided to focus on La Guita Xica and finish him first.

“Ornstein, get ready. It’s time for you to shine. Your opponent is a serpentine poisonous dragon. Among your brothers, you are the most qualified to fight him with your light based nature attacks.

I will teleport you in front of that green dragon, while me, E’Lara and Rodin will provide support from here. Also take these Nature healing pills.”- Ichika

With that said Ichika tossed him a jade bottle of white marble shaped pills. These are grade 15 pills, that can heal and cure anyone from any serious injuries and poison. With Ornstein being a Light dragon, he has more chances of easily winning against La Guita Xica, who is a poison type.

La Guita Xica and his subordinates are moving in a steady manner this whole time. La Guita Xica was observing the state of his allies from the beginning with his soul sense. He was totally impressed by the human tactics, ruthlessness and at the same time was completely scared by their brutality.

But with years of wisdom, he is clear, that war is never a fair thing. Especially when they are bringing so many of their soldiers, that they easily outnumber the humans by 10000:1. If he was in their place, perhaps he would also resort to even more brutal tactics with his poison.

Just as he was moving forward, he sensed something wrong with the fluctuations of space and came to a sudden halt, surprising his subordinates. As if to prove him right, a space portal opened in front of him with a Silver coloured and red coloured western dragons stepping out of it, while grinning at him maliciously.

“Brats. Do you think you two are enough to fight against me and my army? Why don’t you just surrender? As fellow monsters we will accept you as one of us and will allow you to create your own territory on this world”- La Guita Xica

La Guita Xica may sound calm on the outside, but his heart is beating so fast, like it would burst any moment. He could clearly tell from both the dragon’s aura, that they are not weaker than him in any way at all. Just their presence alone here, away from their main forces is enough to prove their confidence and belief in their abilities.

So he want to lure them out of the humans control, with the idea of freedom and territory. After all which sovereign level monster want to be a slave of someone and not enjoy being  a lord of their own territory. He also clearly implied with his words ‘as fellow monsters we will accept you as one of us’, that he and the other sovereign monsters will definitely protect them both, as long as they rebel against their master and join forces with them.

If they agree, he will use them as pawns to fight against  the humans and will later gang up with other sovereign monsters to kill them. But the only problem is, will these two dragons agree with him?

As for Ornstein and Rodin, they couldn’t help but laugh at La Guita Xica, when he called them as brats. As Neo Dragons, they can be considered as ancestors among ancestors to La Guita Xica. After being captured by the Overlord and imprisoned in his own consciousness, they lost track of how old they are.

They only fear the Overlord and his 3 avatars. Apart from that, there is nothing under creation, that they are afraid of. While being sent to Atlas Kingdom, Overlord ordered them to help his disciple in the future, if one day she defeats them one on one. If they failed to do so, then they will instantly die because of soul explosion.

Ichika just found them hundred years ago, when she started to explore the deeper parts of the Atlas Kingdom. She clearly remembered her teacher’s words that 8th floor Atlas Kingdom is a special floor, where no weapons and armors are allowed. She has to use only brute force to subdue them and tame them. As long as she won’t provoke the sovereign level monsters, she is free to explore other parts of the Atlas Kingdom.

But after making recent breakthrough and having access to the 3 Avatars, she decided to further explore Atlas Kingdom and entered the territories of the 3 neo dragons.

Only after coming face to face with them and sensing their aura up close, did she understood that it is impossible for the current her to defeat the 3 neo dragons with only pure brute force. Even if she was allowed to use weapons and armors, she only has about 40% chances of winning against them. The Neo dragons also didn’t attack her as she didn’t provoke them and she was also accompanied by the 3 Avatars.

She clearly understands, what it means to have sovereign ruler level monsters on her side. Since she can’t subdue them with her current strength, she made an agreement with them.

When necessary, they have to help her out and in return, she will be providing them with enough resources, entertainment opportunities and chances to visit the outside world.

Since the goal of the Neo dragons was to finally help Ichika, they decided to temporarily agree to help her when needed. In this way, they will also get to know more about her character and they can also warm up now and then, in the outside world.

To gain their trust, Ichika worked with her 3 dwarf teachers to personally forge type 15 full body armor for them. She would often visit them to have spars, but always ended up on the losing side.

“Oi, green snake. Are you trying to sow dissension among us with your words? You have to be more smarter than that to manipulate us. Why don’t you just surrender and save us some pain and time?”- Ornstein

La Guita Xica green face became even more green, after his ploy didn’t work against the Dragons. So he has no chance but to attack them, when he has the advantage of numbers.

“Rodin, Stop those subordinates of his from interfering with my fight. It won’t take a long time”- Ornstein

“You better be quick. I want to personally face that Scorpion bastard”- Rodin

Ornstein just gave a quick nod at him, before stretching his 4 wings and started to approach La Guita Xica at light speed.

La Guita Xica coiled his huge body around and started  spouting poison balls at Ornstein. Ornstein covered himself in thick light barrier, while flying forwards. The poison balls hit the barrier and deflected towards various parts of the battlefield. Most of the trees and monsters who were hit by these poison balls, instantly turned into goo, while the land also started to turn black, as the poison started to spread.

Soon Ornstein passed over La Guita Xica body, while using his claws to tear through his back, inflicting major injuries and finishing with a tail swipe at his face. Ornstein tail hit the left side of La Guita Xica face like a huge hammer, caving half of his face in.

But Ornstein was also surprised, as his claws were also poisoned by the blood of La Guita Xica. He knew the green serpent was a poison type, but he never expected him to reach such heights, where he can coat every part of his body in poison. He immediately used light energy to quickly neutralize the poison.

Author’s Note:  I am already lagging 3 chapters behind the usual promised schedule, for that I am sorry. Today also I was not supposed to write any chapter, but I don’t want to sit throughout the next   week, writing the missing chapters. Also I was not able to sleep in the bus on my return journey, because my neighbour kept talking and chatting on his mobile throughout the journey. As I have no other way and to pass the time, I started writing this chapter on my journey and posting it as soon as I reached home. This chapter is not edited because of lack of time. So point out the mistakes in the comments section.Now with this chapter done, I still owe 2 more missing chapters. I will try to work on both of them in this week.
