Chapter 95: The Mad Monk
Chapter 95: The Mad Monk
“Want to break into my prison!! Come get it over my body!!” shouted the Warden
The Warden fires a few fireballs towards the groups to disturb the person that is casting the magic circle in the sky [2nd Circle – Fireballs].
Seeing the incoming attack from the warden, “Hmph.. mere fireballs are nothing for me.” said one of the people in the group.
Then, the black-cloaked man waves his hand and creates a bluish barrier in front of the group [3rd Circle – Bubble Barrier]. The moment the fireballs reach the bluish barrier, they get dissolved without creating an explosion like it is supposed to do.
As the fireballs turn into some water vapor, a few of the surviving guards launch an attack towards the group from afar. However, all of them couldn’t penetrate the [Bubble Barrier] as most of the guards used fire magic.
Moreover, they still need to cover their body with mana to prevent the poison from entering their body. This made some hindrance and consumed their mana at a fast rate.
“Don’t waste your mana, fire the cannon towards them!!” shouted the warden.
However, at this moment a chaotic sound is heard from the inside of the prison. The sound of fighting begins louder and hindering the reinforcement from the inside. One of the guards ran towards the warden in a hurry.
“Warden Zeff, there is a prisoner outbreak from section one to three.” reported the guard.
“I see.. they planned this well. Release the monster and have the executioner squad contain the prisoner. Other guards immediately take the cannon and weapon projectile to attack that group. Also, contact the Royal Palace for help.” commanded Warden Zeff.
Before the guard aims to fire the projectile weapon towards the black-cloaked group, a series of explosions happens inside the prison. *BOMM* *BOMM* *BOMM*
The explosion shook the whole fortress and destroyed many parts of it. Since the explosion comes from the prison section that is located underground, the structure of the prison itself begins to crumble and crack.
“Urghh… What happen?” asked Warden Zeff
“Sir, some explosions are coming from the prisoner area. It damages all the defensive mechanism systems and the Fortress structure.”
“Damn it!!” curse the warden before looking at the magic circle in the sky that is glowing in red.
“Everyone takes cover!!” shouted the warden.
Soon, the magic circle activates and creates a rain of fireballs towards the entire fortress [5th Circle Spell – Bombardment]. *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* The rain of fireballs kept coming for a few minutes before it stopped and burned the whole fortress.
“Urghh..” *Cough* *Cough* even the warden himself couldn’t completely dodge such a large-scale attack.
Meanwhile, the upper layer of the prison is in chaos, deep underground below the Fortress there are a few rooms that are different from others. Each of these rooms is heavily enchanted and resides by one person.
Inside one of these rooms, “Kakaka.. What a big tremor to even shake this area!?” said one of the bald prisoners who is chained with a mana restriction chain.
“OIII… Guard, you should upgrade this prison otherwise we could leave this place Kakakaka…” laughing the bald prisoner.
“Shut up, Orpus!!” shouted one of the guards.
“Hahaha… That’s right guard, why don’t you just let us go??” said the other prisoner.
Soon, more prisoner commented and shouting one at each other
“Kakaka.. This is going to be… URRGGHH” before the bald man could continue he get electrocuted from his chain.
“Shut up all of you or I will keep electrocuting you for hours!!” shout the chief while turning on his device.
*BOMM* Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from above the ground. During this time, one of the guards reports to the section chief, “Sir, all the power is cut off including the communication device with the upper section.
“Damn it!! All Guard ready your weapon!! Kill all the prisoners the moment there is a break…” before the chief finished his command.
A loud explosion happens from the entrance area and hurts some of the unprepared guards. Still, all the guards here are different and on par with the royal guard.
Few of them immediately recover and summon their weapon to fight but after moving for a few steps, the elite guard slump on the ground, having serious pain all over their body.
“ARRGGGHH!!” screamed all the guards while bleeding from all their orifices.
Soon, a group of people in prisoner clothes and wearing a gas mask come out from the entrance.
The group immediately killed all the poisoned guards before going towards the bald prisoner room. After opening and unchaining the bald prisoner, they give a mask towards the bald prisoner.
But, the bald man refused the mask, “Kakaka… I don’t need this thing. I am different from you guys!!” said the man while he stretched his stiff body.
After stretching for a while, “It’s been a while I could feel my mana again.” As the bald prisoner flare up his mana and making a crack on the heavy enchanted wall
“Hey… Don’t forget about us!!” shouted the other prisoner.
“Yeah.. release us!! Commented other prisoner
“Release me and I will kill anyone you want.” said another prisoner.
“My lord, what should we do with these prisoners?!” said one of Orpus’s subordinates.
“Of course, release all of them!! Kakaka.. ” laughed the bald man while giving order to all the subordinates.
After that, Corpus began to walk his way up to the upper area. The upper section is very chaotic where all the prisoners are escaping from their prison and fighting the guard and monster.
Although the guard couldn’t tame the monster, they could still use their ferocity to suppress any riot-like now. Especially since most of the prisoners are still having their mana restricted.
Looking at the chaotic situation, Orpus laughs loudly before disappear from his spot. A moment later he arrived in front of the guard group with a wide grinning smile.
Some of the guards notice the person in front of him, “Y-You Orpus, the mad monk!!”
“Ping Pong… Right answer. Now, DIE!!” said the bald prisoner.
Using his bare hand, Orpus starting to tearing all the guard like paper. All of the guard’s attack seems impervious towards his body. While the mad monk is doing his killing spree, his subordinate helps the other prisoner free their mana restriction chain.
As Orpus amass the prisoner to break the prison together, in the upper fortress, the warden fight the group of black-cloaked people while all his soldier is death by either poison in the air or from the [Rain of fire]
“Tch… Who are you guys?? Don’t you know what this prison contains?” shouted the warden Zeff.
“Shut up, old man. Just lay down and die.” Said one of the cloaked men in front of him.
Still, despite his injury, Warden Zeff could keep all the group at bay.
‘Tch.. Where is the reinforcement from the Royal Palace?! The prisoner inside also managed to break out. I hope they didn’t reach section six.’ thought Warden Zeff while clashing with the people in front of him.
“Oii.. old man, it seems you are planning to delay us. It’s useless. No matter what, no one will come to help you!! Now, Die!!” as the cloaked man brandished his spear towards Warden Zeff.
Still using his vast combat experience, Zeff could deflect them and avoid some fatal wound. After clashing for a while, Zeff felt a chilling cold behind his back.
“Hello, Zeff.” said Orpus from behind Zeff.
“Orpus, the mad monk. Now, I understand why there are a lot of high-grade people among you.” said Zeff solemnly.
“Kakaka… as sharp as usual, Zeff. So, why don’t you join me? I could use people like you Zeff.” asked Orpus.
“Hmph… My loyalty is only for his majesty King Leon, Die you monster!!” shouted Zeff as he charges at Orpus
“Haa.. How unfortunate!!” said Orpus.
Orpus didn’t avoid Zeff’s full-strength attack but chose to grab the sword with his bare hand. Despite Zeff’s full strength as six grade combatant, he still couldn’t make Orpus bleed.
“I-Impossible!!” shouted Zeff.
“Kakaka… Nothing is impossible in this world. Now, did you change your mind?!” asked Orpus while grinning.
“Never!!” Zeff releases his sword and takes another sword from his bracelet.
But, at this moment Orpus launch a punch towards Zeff at extraordinary speed. Getting hit, Zeff’s body launched towards the nearby rubble getting buried by the Fortress structure.
“Kakaka… Now, let’s get away before that annoying man pursues us.” said Orpus.
After running for a while, Orpus stopped and looked back at the hidden fortress.
Looking at their leader stopping, “Is something wrong, my lord??”
“I forgot to give Leon a gift. Kakakaka…. ” said Orpus while beginning to chant in unknown words.
Soon, a red magic circle appears from the ground covering the entire fortress. The magic circle flashes brightly and makes all the corpses inside the Fortress shine.
Before long heard a series of explosions and crumbled the entire Fortress [5th Circle – Maas Corpse Explosion]. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
