Overlord Empress - Chapter 97 FINAL WARNING

At the beginning of the war, Ichika thought she has to spend more efforts and be mentally prepared for the losses on her side. But she never expected she will have such a golden opportunity to end this war, with almost no losses.

Even though she sent Ornstein and Rodin to take care of La Guita Xica, It was only a strategy on her part to weaken the alliance of the sovereign ruler monsters. But surprising her, Aqrabuamelu the strongest monster on this world, decided to personally go and rescue La Guita Xica. Ichika can only prey to her lucky stars, as she can take care of the top 2 strongest monsters on this world, without suffering heavy casualties. So she immediately sent Nioh to intercept him midway.

As expected of Nioh, he easily overpowered Aqrabuamelu within few moves. She knew the neo dragons were ridiculously strong, but she was still surprised by the display of their strength. What is her teacher thinking to subdue them with brute force only? Looks like she has to increase her physical training by at least 1000 times.

As she was watching the battle between Aqrabuamelu and Nioh, she spotted another sovereign monster Black Shuck slowly preparing his soul attack on Nioh. If it was before her breakthrough, Ichika would have definitely missed the presence of the Black Shuck with her soul sense. But after making breakthrough, she can now use her Heaven’s Eye, which can show her anything that is hidden under creation.

Just as he was about to attack Nioh, she and E’Lara shot more than 100 arrows at him. All of these arrows were etched with powerful lightning and fire runes.

As Angila need complete focus to hide his presence and use his soul attack, also believing in his stealth ability he totally ignored his surroundings for a bit. Just as he was about to hit the dragon from behind, suddenly he felt a bad premonition and his fur stood erect. His senses are screaming at him to escape from the place, like he was targeted by a predator.It is his trust in this senses, that helped him survive for ages and helped him become a sovereign ruler. But it his first time having this feeling in his stealth mode.

But before he could escape from the place 100’s of arrows pierced his body making him howl in pain. He never expected for the enemy to spot him so accurately during his stealth mode, he can’t help but curse himself for letting his guard down.

As he was howling in pain he came out of his stealth mode and was easily spotted by Nioh and Aqrabuamelu. Nioh was completely shocked to see another ruler monster just behind him. He could tell from the arrows, that it was E’Lara and Ichika who helped him, otherwise he would definitely be in a dangerous situation by now.

As for Aqra, his hopes to escape from the golden dragon completely vanished after seeing the pitiful state of Angila. He is more like a black porcupine than a black dog, with all those arrows embedded in his body.

Just as he was still looking at Angila, the arrows started to emit dangerous energy and exploded with a thunderous sound, scorching the surrounding lands for 100’s of kilometres.

Angila’s body was blown to billions of particles. Still one droplet of blood from his body started to float up and began reconstruction oh his body. All this time Aqra wanted to escape from the place,but Nioh kept an eye on him. Soon Angila’s various body parts started to reform slowly.

But just as the reformation of Angila body started, Ichika sent 10 golems to surround the weakened and injured sovereign. The Golems were intended to capture Angila, but they can’t let him totally regain his complete body. Even if he exhausts most of his energy to reform his body, the remaining part of his energy is enough to destroy these golems or escape from that place. At the same time, the golems can’t capture him as he is yet to reform his complete body, so they formed a cocoon with soul bind chains around his estimated body size, just leaving needle size hole for him to gather enough energy to reform his body.

Angila also completely accepted his fate and didn’t plan to fight back against the humans. From Aqrabuamelus serious injuries, he can understand how powerful these humans were. His only hope is they don’t turn him into a slave.

After seeing the 10 golems, Nioh once again focused on Aqrabuamelu

“There is still time for you to surrender. If it continues you will only end up dying”- Nioh

“Who knows? My mother always told me, a fight is only over when you think it is over. But If I continue to struggle till the end, may be a miracle will happen in my favour. So I think, I will continue the fight”- Aqrabuamelu

Nioh was clearly impressed and puzzled by the thought process of Aqrabuamelu. It is rare to find such determined opponents, who will fight against the odds.

Aqrabuamelu stopped reforming his body for the moment as he need all the energy he can to fight against this golden dragon. At the moment only his right hand was completely intact, while his remaining body was deformed because of the injuries he suffered earlier. His energy reserves are at 70% after using his earlier attacks.

He gathered close to 20% of his energy, started to mold it into wind energy and coated his bone sword with it. The bone sword started to vibrate with every bit infusion of his energy.

Aqra swung the sword in vertical chopping fashion towards Nioh. But instead of the previous straight line slashes, they started to move in waves superimposing each other and only merging into one powerful slash, just as they were about to hit Nioh.

Nioh was impressed by the attack. At the beginning he only thought it was random slash attacks, but it was only a built up to perform a powerful slash. Nioh had no way but to coat his body even more layers of lightning energy and infusing more energy into his armor. The slash hit squarely on the chest of Nioh, after breaking the defensive layers of lightning energy. The force behind the attack sent Nioh flying for few kilometers, while dealing some internal damage to his body. But the slash only left a deep cut mark on the armor, before it started to repair itself.

Nioh started to gather more than 40% of his lightning energy and compressing it. The fluctuations generated by the lightning energy started to puncture few holes in the space. Soon he released this lightning energy as a powerful breathe attack towards Aqra, which started to reach him at lightning speed, while tearing through the fabric of space.

Aqra almost fainted from shock after seeing Nioh with almost no injuries. He was planning to attack again when Nioh launched his breathe attack. He could clearly sense the destructive force behind the attack, if he took that attack head on, he will be dead for sure. So he could only gather the remaining 50% of his energy to form a solid wall in front of him.

The impact between the breathe attack and the solid wall can be felt across the whole Atala world, which created an almost thunderclap like sound. The wall was only able to block the breathe attack for a split second, before it collapsed. But that split second allowed Aqra to dodge the breathe attack in time, which exploded somewhere in space.

After spending his complete energy in defending himself, he barely has any energy to fight against Nioh. Nioh reached him quickly and caught him in his claws and dived towards the lands, smashing him against the surface, which sent the land shaking for few seconds.

Aqra could feel almost half of his bones cracked under that attack, but Nioh just started to continue bashing him against the surface. With every bashing Aqra bones started to crack even more, then fractures and finally blood started to leak out from his mouth, after his internal organs were also destroyed. After 5 minutes, there wasn’t a place on Aqra body, which didn’t suffer injury. He started to bleed throughout his body and lost his consciousness.

Nioh Just tossed the unconsciousness to one of the ten golems. The golem quickly chained him with the soul bound chains. As soon as the chains were bound, Aqra felt like he became a mortal. Soon the pain from the injuries woke him up and he started to wail and curse at Nioh and the golems. The golem didn’t show sympathy to Aqra and simply crushed his throat while pressing him under his foot.

Angila who was still observing all of this, couldn’t help but shiver after seeing the pitiful state of Aqra.

Nioh was able to heal the minor internal injury he suffered and approached Angila. As soon as he approached, the golems removed their chains. During this entire time, only the head of Angila took shape.

Nioh didn’t want to stay here anymore as his mission is accomplished. So he caught the head of Angila with his claws and arrived at Ichika’s location, using the same portal.The golem also dragged the body of Aqra with his tail. After reaching Ichika’s location the golem and Nioh tossed the body of Aqra and Angila into the pagoda,sealing their fate.

With Dahaka, Aqrabuamelu and Angila caught, the remaining four monsters morale hit rock bottom. La Guita Xica was still facing Ornstein, while Surale, Selkie and Kishi completely halted their advancement.

They understood that they clearly lost the advantage and this war, after Aqra and Angila were caught. If they still press forward, it would be like committing suicide. But just as they were about to order a retreat, Ichika’s voice resonated in their heads.

“Where are you trying to escape? Do you think you can still escape from my grasp, after joining your forces against me? I will give all 3 of you one final chance. Surrender and swear your allegiance to me, you can still keep your freedom and territory. If you still try to resist, then I will show no more mercy to you all.”- Ichika
