The orcs and ogres let out yells of joy when the troll king arrived. They had been struggling to fight ever since the huge spider came about. However, Zod had managed to break its legs, felling the large creature. Now Zod had gone on top of the giant spider and was joined by Dulk, the orc king.The East was assured of its victory as soon as the first king appeared. Now that both of their kings were present, even Krull would not need to participate anymore. They could at least now ask for mercy after prolonging the fight to this extent."The Kings have arrived! Plow down the West!""Show them what happens when you fight Krull-sama!""OOOOHHH!"The ogres and orcs charged forward with intent to completely destroy the West.The West had been happy when the giant spider had appeared and was destroying the east's soldiers, but then a red troll appeared and knocked it down. To top it off, an orc with the same power as the red troll had appeared and both were now engaged in combat with the sp
The spider king let out a screech and her children understood it as her order for them to charge."Bees! Don't falter. Let's not disappoint our queen!""Beetles! Full force!"The commanders of both sections ordered and their subordinates obeyed. The insects soon swarmed the orc king, forming a tornado around him. Even with quality, he shouldn't have been able to surpass the sheer numbers of the insect army, right? But then,"Is this your trump card? I expected more. Then again, I guess that's all you would need to beat that moron over there."'Yea, keep talking big even after you are already caught in my trap.'"Hmph."'What's so funny?'"It's nothing. I just remembered a question somebody asked me earlier. Would you like to know it?"The spider remained quiet. She wasn't showing it, but she was feeling quite tensed. The mana threads she had created were taking quite a lot out of her. She was hoping to at least have been able to take down the orc with this, but it was taking longer th
The East, War Monger's FortA cloaked figure walked through the hallways of the fort nonchalantly. This figure was supposed to be hurriedly sneaking around, checking room by room for what he was searching for but that was simply too much of a hassle for him. He preferred to be slow and laid-back. He basically had all the time in the world to complete his mission after all. When he came across a huge door protected by two kobold guards, he assumed he found his target."Hey there!"He yelled, waving at the kobolds. They looked at each other, confused then back at him."I am referring to you two obviously. Do you see anyone else present?"The two guard began to bark at him."Um… I don't understand your language. Sorry, but I need the person behind that door."He appeared behind both kobolds and placed his hands on their shoulders. The two were immediately petrified with fear and ears flinched."You see, if you just let me through, nothing bad will happen."One guard started barking again
Day 22 The air stained with the scent of blood, the ground broken and torn apart, the creatures littering the ground with their corpses and injured bodies, the smell of agony and rage. The battlefield had been opened and boy, was I bewildered. Everything had actually gone according to my plans. First, I assumed the Ogre Tyrant would be wary of us, especially after Diane told me that Derbyshire ran off to the east to seek refuge. So him stopping at the wolf hills, seemed the likeliest thing for him to do, although I had stationed a bunch of rat men at other possible locations for him. You see, to get to the center of Larm, you needed to pass through a few hilly areas. According to Diane, the shortest possible route from East to West was through the center and so, using the Wolf Hills was a given. Him being wary of us, he stopped just at the wolf hills to come explore. Next, I assumed he also possessed the skill [Overlord] so he would simply use it to scan us, not control us. He was p
I activated [Devil Miasma] and [Terror] at the wyvern. Krull just calmly watched me, his eye twitching at my every movement. I started to fly around them, creating a cloud of poison gas while sprinkling my [Sap Spores] about so I could be draining life from them while fighting. I flew in front of the wyvern and shot a spider web at it. Krull cut it however and he snarled at me."What is this? Is this all you've got?"'Excuse you, but that took a bit of thinking to do, especially while under all this pressure!'"Enough of this. I'm going back."The war ogre held his weapon tightly and it glowed with a green aura. With one thoughtless flicker, he swung it at me causing a powerful shockwave to be sent through the air. I used [King Viper Scales] with [Centipede Armor] and [Beetle Armor], while making my body absorb the shock with [Slime body]. The damage was so much that I wasn't able to go unscathed even though I attempted to dodge as well.[You have received 100 damage]The shockwave co
There was a weird presence that was felt around the world. Only a handful of people would actually notice considering this presence was and at the same time, wasn't that important. This presence was the Tyrant of Larm, Goliath the Dragon.Of the handful of a people, a man in pitch black armor grinned. His armor had a few nicks and scratches in it. One wouldn't believe that the black allure the armor possessed was actually the result of it going unpolished for so many years. His helmet had the face piece cracked, so one could see his golden inhuman right eye."The little brat's awake… Maybe I'll get to see him one last time."He gripped his sword, strapped to his back, tightly as he drew it and readied it for his opponent, a ginormous minotaur with shaggy brown fur and red eyes. One of its horn had been cleaved off and the other was bent in an unruly manner. Several visible scars lacerated its body and blood spewed out like a pipe. It was in perilous situation at the moment.A white fl
Minerva's skill [Demon Eye of Intimidation] had slowly led Krull into madness, whereas her skill [Demon Eye of Sleep] had put him to sleep. Working hand-in-hand together, the two demon eyes could lead to nightmares in their targets that had the high possibility of killing them. This was where the misconception of Minerva's [Demon Eyes of Death] was derived from.Krull was now in his own world, whereas his actual body was out doing the fighting on pure instinct and muscle memory. Minerva would have to admit that she was impressed after seeing his body still fight on its own. It proved that to the very end, he was a survivor that had been in many desperate straits – much like her. If for anything, she could give him his respect for that.The war monger tightened his muscles, channeling aura through his veins then punching the ground. The [Battle God Martial Arts: Ground Break]. The earth shook mightily, but this wasn't enough to faze Minerva."Kneel."She ordered and the war monger's bo
Sakura petals danced in the wind, slowly descending to the ground. I was currently in what looked like a pasture of silver grass, with a single Sakura tree behind me. I had been standing here for a while, doing nothing but enjoying the scent and sight. I didn't want to admit it, but the realization dawned upon me. I died. Well, there was no room to whine about it now. 'Ugh… that was painful.' I thought, rubbing my neck with my wing. For some reason I maintained my bird form even after dying. "I bet it was." A voice said, startling me. 'Huh? Who are you?' I looked around and noticed the voice coming from behind a tree. A bit scared, I didn't dare go near the owner of the voice. "Seriously?" The person moved from behind the tree, revealing a girl in my school uniform – a skirt, blazer over a white shirt with a red tie loosely fitted around the neck – with tanned skin like a surfer. Her sandy brown hair was shoulder-length, complementing her pretty face. She was the spitting image
‘It’s so booooorriiiiiiiiiingggg!’I was bored out of my mind surveying the edge of the dome for enemies. It was practically a ghost town at this point. And the only thing that used to be interesting was the notifications I kept receiving from my shadows about catching bombers. So far, we found three dozen pairs of people planting the bombs.It was shocking how many people had been coerced into doing this. And I still hadn’t tracked down an actual member from the invaders. What if the invaders actually weren’t coming? What if the princess was lying about this entire thing for a completely different reason?‘This princess is giving me a headache.’‘I know right? It’s like talking to a brick wall.’‘A-An overly in-intelligent one.’‘Hey guys!’‘Ah!?’‘New guy?’‘I-I have a j-junior now?’‘What will we call him?’‘Call me Hyakkiyago.’He told us out of nowhere. We were all stunned, since everyone who came so far didn’t even know that they were now sharing a mind with someone. Yet, this g
NANEK POVThe prince looked at the meal set before him. Skewered tentacles, seaweed wraps, jagged oyster shells, lunaris and so on, all in bountiful amounts. He felt like gagging from the mere scent of the food. Nanek never liked such food, and as such this was strictly removed from the meals his siblings served him regularly.This event was different. It was before the entire city and it was a meal that the goddess had chosen for this year’s feast. Him not eating it was an insult to the goddess and would make the people think less of him.He looked at his mother, the priestess, sitting blindly next to the king and being fed her meal by some of her personal assistants. She had no concern whatsoever when it came to this and he found it terrifying, since he had been told by the older generation that she hated these kinds of meals.Several years in service to the goddess must have changed her. Maybe if he spent several years trying to overcome his distaste for the meal, he would overcome
SUNALLA POVThe storm spirit had left off towards a chamber in the palace to enact the final plans of the princess. To be honest, she wasn’t expecting the princess to tell her what her final plans were, but after hearing them, she was completely stunned. For the princess to have planned all of this for just that, it was beyond her imagination.However, for something like that, she knew her father would give up his life in a heartbeat. At least, she could rest easy knowing that he died for a cause he had been fighting for all his life. Still, it hurt that she couldn’t even see his corpse even though it was delivered to them. Did they think she was so weak that she’d break down from seeing the body?She had definitely seen worse, so why wouldn’t they let her? Was this the royalty’s way of showing consideration to the Captain of the Royal Guard’s kin? If so, the royals really had no idea what people actually wanted in such situation.While swimming, a stray guppy came in front of her. Sh
King Zigruk ElrIek Sox Anon Den Yorul II waved at the people who were gazing at him admirably from outside the hall. After a considerable amount of praise appreciation and greeting, he sat down on his seat and dropped his trident.The trident floated by itself at his side. Strange enough, this weird sight was ignored by most of the onlookers. All of them except the candidates for the throne that knew the true value of the trident, all of them shocked by how carelessly their father handled it. Then again, if you were built just like the Zigruk Elriek Sox Anon Den Yorull II, you wouldn’t think too much of the trident.Once again, trumpets sounded thunderously, drawing the attention of everyone to the overly massive ship that was approaching them. Dubbed the Neptune, the largest piece of magical machinery ever made in the history of all the three kingdoms.One mermaid, much bigger than the rest emerged from the Neptune. She was dressed in a simple peplos, wearing a golden crown of leaves
OSVETA POVThe feast hall, the biggest part of the royal palace that went unused for many years till there was an important ceremony taking place. It was so large it could take in half the number of royal family members that lived. And that was saying much given the fact that there were over a thousand of them with each being at least three times as big as the average merman.The hall was a space next to the palace grounds shrouded in hardened Atlantean styled glass to prevent any peaking or breaking. Due to the occasion, the styled glass had been removed, revealing a large beautiful platform with a marble table in a U-shape set down. The table was big enough to occupy at the very least 20 members of the Royal family.However, today, only four members sat on opposite ends, with two extra, grander seats, being reserved for the most important guests. The King of Atlantis and the Chief Priestess of the Sea Goddess Temple.The current members were Rondel, the eldest son of the King, repre
Inside of Hinotori’s mind, somewhere deep in her subconscious where she would never notice anything happening, there was an announcement.[The Exclusive Skill [Legend of Pandemonium] Chapter 1, Act 1, Part 1: Army Drafting has been completed]-Hidden Events> Fight Against the Apostles of the Sea Goddess Temple (Completed)> Kill over a dozen members of the Sea Goddess Temple (Incomplete)> Enslave the members of the Sea Goddess Temple (Incomplete)> Establish friendly ties with the members of the Sea Goddess Temple (Incomplete)> Become an official member of the Sea Goddess Temple (Incomplete)---- Insufficient events completed to receive any rewards+[The Exclusive Skill [Legend of Pandemonium] has unlocked a new section]Chapter 1 - #@$^&!Act 1 – Battle For AtlantisPart 2 – Preparations--- Preparations for the incoming invasion have been set up.

On the day of the Royal Feast, in the princess’ quarters, several mermaids about her size were attending to her. Brushing her hair, applying make-up, and carefully fixing ornaments in her hair. She was dressed in the most elegant lilac-coloured chiton that had silver lacings on it and a triangular pattern over at the bottom over her tail. Over her left hand, her peplos that was a whitish-blue with a similar design, but more transparent. The peplos also managed to serve as a sort of hood for her head.As the princess observed her features in the mirror, she couldn’t help but think along the likes of,‘Would Hiro like this appearance?’‘Maybe it’s too much make up for his taste?’‘Is this even enough to cover my blemishes?’Of course, Hiro was not going to be partaking in this event. In fact, he wouldn’t even know that it was happening and neither would he know about it. Still, a maiden in love could only dream, right?“You are looking absolutely stunning, your highness.”The one attend
The hell did I just hear? Did she just confirm that she was the mastermind? No way, right? There was definitely no way that she did it, right? No.I couldn’t doubt the possibility of her having done that. Knowing her, it was highly likely. And from what Sunalla said, the princess didn’t like it when things happened out of her control. A surprise invasion from an enemy nation definitely doesn’t sound like having everything under her control.Still, for her to go this far just for the throne. She was the worst kind of person. They’d do anything to achieve their goal, even if it negatively affected those looking up to her for support. She was worse than scum.I had several things to tell the princess, but no one else in the room heard our conversation. The princess simply said vague things in their eyes and ears. Maybe Sunalla and Osveta would believe that princess did something like that.The problem was if they gave a shit. They’d known her for sometime now so it was possible that they
That was completely sudden and out of nowhere for me. I never imagined to hear such a thing, least of all from an old man in a city that was thousands of feet underwater. Of course, after hearing such a thing I was intrigued in finding out more, but he kicked me out with the promise of trying to find a way to Minerva for me. He stole more strands of my hair though. Turns out he didn’t need the first strand for anything. He simply wanted it for his private reasons… creepy pervert.On the way back, I could tell that the princess was beaming with excitement. I asked why, but she told me not to think too much about it. In times like this, it was really annoying not being able to read her mind. The only solution was to keep pressuring her till she spoke, but she was tight lipped. In the end, I decided to ask if she knew about Vermillion.According to her, there wasn’t any concrete text about Vermillion, but her father had once told her that there was an individual named Vermillion who came
