Chapter 708 Ignored
"The bright will illuminate the darkness. But, the darkness avoids the bright life." said Adol cryptically while holding an unconscious man behind his back.
All the gathered monster-minded look at Adol with various expressions. Like the Seventh grade, who have their own specialty and unique power, Monster-minded people also have their specialty.
Among those who come to the Undermine Council, Adol is the only one proficient at divining and predicting the future. Still, divination is a very obscure and ambiguous art. Sometimes, it could be very accurate. Other times it could do the opposite thing.
Some cases even lead to different conclusions from the initial divination. However, they have lived through the shadow and experienced the world's darkness. All these monster-minded people never dare to underestimate such a divination, especially from one of their kind.
"I guess we could only wait and see for now." said Arnaut.
"I wonder about that." replied another unknown monster-minded while hiding in the shadows.
"No need to be anxious. Queenie still has some time." said the rich young man beside Miranda.
"What if she fails?" said another hideous monster-minded nearby.
"Then, we know what we must do." said Cier while grinning.
"How about that Simp?" asked Renault.
"Don't worry. If Queenie truly fails, no one can stop us. Be it that Simp or his beloved girlfriend." said Miranda.
"Are you sure about that?" asked another monster-minded person in the shadow.
"Yes. I think everyone already knows this. Queenie's is totally different from the others. She has the highest affinity shadow ever witnessed. Though she is still in a growth period. But, she is the greatest." said Arnaut.
"If she can't do it, no one else can't. It means..." added one of the hideous monster-minded.
"Yes. It means everything is just a lie. A fake like that blue-haired person said." said Cier.
"Then, it is decided." said the young rich man.
After saying this word, everyone disappears from the spot, along with the dozen shadow movements in the surrounding area.
If someone sees this scene, they will be struck with fear as they will notice that more monster-minded people are coming to this place than they thought. It is as if monster-minded people gather in this place from all over the world.
On the other hand, Haidem just finished his torture play and currently inspecting his loot from Bubucha.
"Crazy shit. This bug is truly loaded. But why didn't he use all this stuff before? He could even destroy this whole place easily. Welp… No matter, just throw this at some random country later." said Haidem with a happy smile before suddenly turning serious.
"Hmm… I seem to miss something. No matter, the milk has spilled anyway." said Haidem nonchalantly.
"Kukuku… I really look forward to what the future little Anna brings us." laughed Haidem madly before covering the surrounding with shadow and disappearing.
The same reaction also happens to all the monster-minded worldwide, not just at Undermine Council.
As soon as Haidem's shadow disappears without a trace, the surrounding environment changes, revealing hundreds of corpses. Be it dwarves, beastman, or other races who stay behind.
Furthermore, no one realizes that one of the tower construction sites is wholly destroyed. By coincidence, this tower construction site is not guarded or managed by any other Elder Dwarf.
Because of the absence of Dumrod and Lotord, the two towers will not have any dwarf elders to supervise them.
In the meantime, a fierce battle sound was heard from a secluded location. In this location, machines and metallic parts are scattered on the ground.
On one side is a green-skinned old man holding a staff. At the same time, his body occasionally turns transparent to avoid the incoming flying slash. The other side is a muscular lion beastman with bare clothes. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Although the fight between the two looks severe and devastating, anyone could guess the green-skinned old man is losing or at a disadvantage. Despite the old man not getting injured, he also couldn't do anything to his opponent.
Moreover, the lion beastman always looks bored and occasionally yawns as the battle continues.
"*Yawn* Oi.. Disabled Goblin, did you have another interesting toy like the first one?" said Warchief Might in a bored tone.
"T-Toy?! H-How dare you!! Fucking savaged!!" shouted Ekkho before shooting various spells at Warchief Might.
Unfortunately, none of these spells could reach Warchief Might as he moves his finger and produces various flying slashes. Warchief Might's flying attack is comparable to any powerful weapon expert despite only using slight movement.
It is not only very sharp but also has some trace of intent. If Angus looks at this scene, he will notice Warchief Might dangerous attack. A person who could imbue intent into their attack is not an ordinary combatant, as their combat prowess is many times better than others.
Still, Ekkho never cares or even realizes how deadly Warchief Might attack. Any physical attack could be avoided with his [Ethereal Form].
This skill is his original unique skill that changes his body into transparent like a ghost to avoid any physical attack. Only unique and certain magic spells could hit him in this state. Ethereal Form is also why Ekkho is confident in fighting against Warchief Might directly.
Any warrior will become passive under this unique skill since they can't even hurt Ekkho. Unfortunately, Ekkho could also hurt Warchief Might, which led to their current situation.
Warchief Might's flying slash and body are too absurd. All his battle golems and lethal spells couldn't resist this flying slash.
The only thing close enough to hurt Warchief Might is his previous Dragon Colossus which has already turned into a bunch of scraps. Even then, it only gives Warchief Might a superficial scratch on his body before getting destroyed by his unstoppable flying slash.
"Tch… I thought this was going to be an interesting fight. I guess my expectation is going higher after my fight with that brat and Merra."
"Hmm… Why the hell am I remembering that stinky brat!! No way in hell I will let him have my Merra?!!" said Warchief Might, who suddenly got angry.
After saying that, Warchief Might release terrifying pressure on the surroundings before moving his hand quickly. *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *BOOOM* The sealed hidden door near Ekkho suddenly gets cut and reveals another path.
Without wasting any more time, Warchief Might enter the path leaving Ekkho behind. On the other hand, Ekkho could only slump on the ground powerlessly. He finally realized Warchief Might never get serious with him from the start.
Not only did Warchief Might not get serious, he never acknowledged Ekkho's existence from the start. It is as if the mighty lion ignores those small herbivore animals and only looks at the big prey.
Deep down, Ekkho knows he is no match for Warchief Might. But his inferiority complex has made him want to do something to prove himself. This harsh reality completely mind-blown Ekkho's spirit.
'*Sigh* I wonder if I am truly defective and disabled as he said.' thought Ekkho while sitting on the ground hopelessly.
Meanwhile, Angus and the others enjoy sitting on top of Giant Porky in the sky. After Onyx releases his deadly toxic gas as a cover, Angus uses this opportunity to teleport every one of them to the sky.
Using one of his space magical tools he got during their Nirvas trip, Angus could teleport himself and the people around him to random locations. By coincidence, the teleport location is up high in the sky.
At first, everyone was flying down from up high in the sky. But, the Giant Porky suddenly created a giant wing to fly in the sky. Since then, they decide to hide under the darkness night cover.
Furthermore, Anna's stomach grew in protest as she skipped some meal time the whole day. As a result, they decide to hide first to rest and recover.
Under the cover of the darkness night, the dwarves will have difficulty searching for them in the sky. The Undermine Council may be located deep down underground, but it still has a very high ceiling of up to 10 km height.
At their current height, the Giant Porky will only look like a tiny dot from below. Moreover, someone who could see and perceive things up to 5 kilometers away is rare.
Unless they have something to point to Angus's location, the dwarves will have difficulty locating them.
Currently, Anna and Jayna are enjoying their little barbecue party. Giant Porky's skin is impervious to most ordinary attacks and can withstand high-temperature fire.
Therefore, Jayna could make some fire while roasting the pigs for little Anna without worry hurting Giant Porky's back.
"Is it done yet?" asked Anna repeatedly for a hundred times while drooling at the roasted pig.
"Not yet, Anna. It is still raw." said Jayna patiently.
Despite hearing Anna's repeated questions, Jayna never gets angry or annoyed at her adorable daughter. Anna's innocent face while drooling, makes Jayna couldn't get angry at her.
In contrast to the girls, Angus focuses on the situation below through his [Great Mana Echolocation]. With his high intelligence and [Analyze], he could notice all things happening down from the sky.
Angus could also instruct Giant Porky to fly in some direction to cover more area. During this observation, he finds many things to give him a headache, from the beastman fight to Atonas's real identity and dozens of monster-minded people gathering.
