I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 405 Krugguar Emperor

A humanoid figure stood in the middle of the crater produced by the big thunder. Suddenly, everyone in the surroundings feels dread and terror coming from the humanoid figure. Even Jade, who is far away from the battlefield, could feel it.

To be exact, the whole Firuman could feel its presence. Be it the monster in the deepest ocean or above the sky. They could feel this humanoid figure's aura.

Some of the weak-willed soldiers from both Nergal and Heart kingdoms died from heart and panic attacks after feeling the dreadful presence.

As the view cleared, everyone could see a tall insectoid with two legs and arms. On its claw-like hand wields something like a pitch-black spear. Suddenly, it hit the ground with its spear while screaming loudly. *PIAAAK*

The piercing scream deafens everyone and wakes them from being staggered by the previous dreadful presence. Then, countless thunder rained down on the battlefield, killing both kingdoms' soldiers. *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

'Monster Overlord!!' thought everyone.

"Run!! Retreat!! Back to the border!!" shouted all the Nergal's Generals.

At the same time, the Heart kingdom soldiers also immediately escape towards Windshire Fort. They didn't even think to fight anymore and kept running. At this moment, all the people on the battlefield only thought about running safely and getting away from this monster.

As the soldiers begin to retreat, monsters similar to the Monster Overlord start to rain down from the sky. Some are fifth-grade monsters and begin to massacre all the soldiers in the surrounding area.

"Isn't that Krugguar Emperor?!!" exclaimed Count Dalton from the Fortress wall.

Krugguar is one of the monster species with a feature similar to beetles. This monster beetle is one of the monsters with an extreme affinity toward lightning.

The Krugguar Emperor is the king of all Krugguar that lived deep inside the Dark Forest since hundreds of years ago. The legend said when the Krugguar Emperor emerged for the first time, the whole world was enveloped by a thunderstorm.

Then, the Dark Forest and its surroundings keep having thunderstorms for months before settling down. Now, this horrible monster came out from its lair with unknown intention.

*Wiiishh* A piercingly loud sound was heard from afar before creating a large explosion at the monster overlord's location [Meteorite Smash]. *BOOOM*

Like a meteor that fell from the sky, Jade hit Krugguar Emperor with all his strength and pushed it farther from the Windshire Fort. However, the monster overlord didn't get hurt and was only pushed back.

"Tch.. Leon didn't say anything about fighting Monster Overlord." grumbled Jade while glaring at the Krugguar Emperor.

Suddenly, a large amount of mana appeared from the sky near them [5th Circle Spell - Windstorm]. An enormous magic circle appears in front of Archmage Ikalis and releases a massive gust of wind towards Monster Overlord.

Seeing this, the Krugguar Emperor didn't stay still either and stabbed his black spear towards the incoming Windstorm. *BLARRR* A black lightning from the spear destroys the whole fifth circle spell.

"Ikalis, help me move it from this location!" said Jade.

"On it!!" said Archmage Ikalis while clapping his hand.

The Archmage Ikalis immediately flares up a large amount of mana and begins to cast another spell. Jade and Ikalis may not have had a good relationship before. However, in front of the monster overlord, they will forget their petty differences and fight together.

Seventh-grade combatants may have eccentric and weird personalities. Some of them are pretty mad and crazy in the head. Still, when a monster overlord appears nearby, they are the first to fight against this dreadful being.

It is not because they want to fight such dreadful monsters. But, it is because their instinct forces them to fight. It's like their body and mind know the monster overlord is their enemy and feel threatened by them. Fortunately, this only happens when there is a monster overlord nearby.

Otherwise, there will be too many seventh-grade combatants seeking their doom, searching and trying to fight against the monster overlord inside the monster habitat. Seeing a large amount of mana Ikalis use, the monster overlord immediately targets him.

*BAM* "Where did you think you were going?! Your opponent is me." intercepted Jade.

Then, both the monster overlord and Jade begin to fight in close combat. Black Lightning and hot crimson fire were flying everywhere. Killing not only the retreat soldiers but the surrounding Krugguar along with the other monsters.

In the meantime, the Heart kingdom soldiers detected a horde of countless monsters from the Dark Forest towards Jade's location.

Hearing such reports. "Any news from the capital?! How is the message to Roundel?!" asked Duke Crestflare, who just managed to get back.

As soon as the Krugguar Emperor appeared, Duke Crestflare immediately stopped fighting and helped the soldier back to the Windshire Fort.

"We already sent the message to both of them. His majesty himself is on the way here while the message towards roundel will take more time before reaching them." replied the communication unit.

For a large kingdom that borders with the Dark Forest, the Heart kingdom has a unique communication way to contact the Roundel city in case a monster overlord appears. Monster Overlord is not a simple matter that one or two kingdoms could handle.

Therefore, if possible, the elf kingdom will send their high elders to help fight them. For the elf race, the monster overlord is the enemy of the world and their nemesis. However, they also know going inside the monster's habitat to kill them is suicide.

Hence, they decide to use the strong kingdom with a seventh-grade combatant to hold down the incoming monster overlord until they arrive and kill the monster overlord together.

Everyone knows a monster overlord is theoretically stronger than a seventh-grade combatant, especially an old monster overlord like Krugguar Emperor. However, seventh-grade combatants are also not easy prey for them.

They could still hold down the monster overlord as long as they were careful. Hearing the reply, Duke Crestflare couldn't help but relieve a little bit.

"Alright, keep strengthening the fortress defense and do not provoke the monsters carelessly. I will go back to help Sir Jade hold down the monster overlord." replied Duke Crestflare before flying away.

In the meantime, Archmage Ikalis managed to finish casting his spell toward the monster overlord.

"Jade got away from there [6th Circle - Death Breath]!!" shouted Archmage Ikalis.

*Whoosh* an ominous wind launched fast towards Monster Overlord as soon as Jade got away from Monster Overlord. Seeing the incoming attack, the Krugguar Emperor turns into a black bolt and disappears from its spot while appearing a few hundred meters away.

Then, Jade finds the grass that gets hit by Ikalis's spell immediately withered and dies.

"Oii.. Ikalis, don't use this kind of spell. What if it hits me?!" commented Jade.

"Hahaha… Don't worry, you will only hurt a little bit. The important thing is I managed to send him away, right?" replied Ikalis casually.

*Crack* *Crack* Suddenly, the ground cracked and a few giant centipede monsters appeared. The two seventh-grade combatants immediately fly in the sky to avoid getting attacked from the ground.

"Seriously?!! There is even a group of Black-scaled Centipedes." said Jade.

"Jade, looks there!!" said Ikalis as he pointed his staff towards Monster Overlord.

Currently, Jade and Ikalis could see countless monsters approaching their location from the Dark Forest. Most of the monsters are insect types like Bear Bee, Steel Ant, Slicer Fly, etc.

For Jade and Ikalis, fighting against these monsters is a simple matter. The problem is the Krugguar Emperor, who keeps looking at them like it is waiting for any carelessness move.

After glaring at each other, Ikalis once again uses a large amount of mana and casts a spell [5th Circle Spell - Typhoon Golem]. A colossal typhoon emerges together and creates a large humanoid figure.

All the surrounding monsters get butchered and sliced to pieces when it touches them. Seeing the butchered monster, the Krugguar Emperor turns into a black bolt and charges toward Ikalis.

Fortunately, Jade always keeps vigilant and intercepts him using his burning Crimson Orb. *Bam* Once again, the flame and black thunder cover the whole area.

At this moment, the Typhoon Golem swung its hand toward the Krugguar Emperor and forced it to back away from Jade. Along the way, the Typhoon Golem keeps butchering the surrounding monster.

Seeing the massacred monster, "You are death, mage!!" said the Krugguar Emperor in a dreadful voice.

Then, the Krugguar Emperor wielded his spear like he was going to throw it while releasing an immense amount of black lightning toward the surrounding area.

"Shit!! Ikalis, get out of there!!" yelled Jade while trying to stop the Krugguar Emperor.

However, the monster overlord has already released his attack [Black Thunderbolt]. *BAM* *DAM* Like lightning coming down to the earth, Black Thunderbolt also releases thunderous sound.

On the other hand, Ikalis disappeared without a trace while the black spear appeared a few kilometers away from them. Not far from Ikalis's previous location, two figures were flying in the sky.

"Huft.. Thanks, King Leon. I thought my life was forfeited. That attack is too fast for me." said Ikalis.

"Thank me later. Just focus on assisting Jade and me for now." said King Leon before blinking at Jade's side.
