Chapter 96: Fallen Nation
[5th Circle - Maas Corpse Explosion]. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
The huge explosion is heard until a few hundred kilometers away. Even the capital city could feel the tremor and shockwave from it. The entire Fortress turns into a devastating sight like just being hit by a calamity.
As for Orpus's group, they had already gone from their spot along with a few prisoners. While the other prisoners, they already go in all directions to escape.
During this time, the Royal Palace just realized that the Altez prison is under attack. However, they also couldn't move as they were just getting attacked.
Moreover, most of the soldiers are still trying to suppress the chaotic situation inside the Capital city.
Inside the capital city, not only many buildings are burning from the first explosion but almost all the secure locations like warehouses or barracks are under attack.
Because of this, they didn't have any spare soldiers to reinforce the Altez Prison. Now, they only see a huge mushroom cloud from far away at the Altez Prison.
Looking at this, some of the soldiers and royal guards know that there is something wrong with the Altez Prison.
"So, that's their target from the start." said Darius as he looked at the mushroom cloud from the window.
Before Darius went back to his work to clean up and secure the royal palace. Although the Altez Prison was attacked and in unknown condition, as the head butler of the royal palace, he still couldn't do anything.
By sheer coincidence, the crown prince and the queen are not in the capital. So, there are no real people to command the soldiers during this situation. While some of the nobles are currently not in the capital city.
They may be in their own territory to maintain it or fighting together in the Black Fortress against the monster. Even if there are some nobles nearby, it will take time to gather the soldiers and handle the capital city situation first before going towards the Altez Prison.
It could be said that now the Capital city is in the most vulnerable state since the Heart Kingdom existed.
As for Darius, he may be trusted by King Leon. But, he still has limited authority to command the current soldier. Moreover, his priority is to make sure his master and the royalties are safe.
All Darius could do at this time is only report to his majesty King Leon about the current situation. He also didn't expect that the Altez Prison was going to be down and lost contact only in a matter of hours.
Considering that there are many high-grade guards and soldiers inside the prison. There are also many hidden defensive mechanisms inside the prison.
Darius speculates that there are some spies or traitors inside. Moreover, this is a well-planned attack that no ordinary organization could achieve.
From his years of experience, he could guess a few organizations that may have launched such an attack. Still, his current priority is to secure the royal palace.
Meanwhile, at the Black Fortress, King Leon already heard the full story from the communication squad. Rather than anger, King Leon had an expressionless face and stayed silent deep in thought.
After thinking for a moment, "Tell the border to increase their security and don't let any prisoner escape. Then, send this information to the Exterminator Squad. They will know what to do.
"Also send this information towards the nearby nobles in the capital about this situation. Tell them to increase the security inside their territory before going towards the Altez Prison. I want the list of escaped prisoners by the end of this week." Commanded the King.
The communication squad immediately worked and relied on their king's command. Soon, all the Heart Kingdom also knew about this incident through the communication device.
The King himself decides to stay in the Black Fortress while keeping vigilant in case another monster horde comes.
Now, the most vulnerable situation is Black Fortress as the high-grade combatant still rests or lay unconscious. It will be like killing everyone on this Fortress if the King is going right now especially since his two dukes are still in the unconscious and exhausted state.
After a while, "Sir, here's the report about the other nation. From the 37 Nations that border the Black Forest, only seventeen of them didn't respond which makes them unknown about their current situation." reported the soldier.
"Seventeen.. That's quite low. Any news where the Monster Overlord shows up?" asked King Leon towards the soldier.
"Yes, we got a mass distress signal from the Holy Alliance about the Monster Overlord. However, a few hours ago, we lost contact with them." said the soldier.
"Holy Alliance?? Lost contact.. Hm.. Means they also fall." said King Leon before staying silent for a while.
'Undead.. Holy Alliance.. This monster overlord is more dangerous than we previously thought. It seems the next leader meeting, something interesting is going to happen.' thought King Leon.
"Alright, good job. Keep monitoring the other nation's movement." as King Leon dismissed the soldier.
Meanwhile, the Heart Kingdom having its internal trouble from the escaped prisoner of Altez Prison, the other Nation also having its internal problem.
Almost all the huge hidden organizations begin their move during the Monster Overlord attack. This causes some of the nation to come into a high alert state. Few of them even get to the state of civil war.
Still, the worst situation is the Holy Alliance as the Monster Overlord decides to personally attack this nation. The Holy Alliance is a very strong nation because they are formed from? the accumulation of all the nearby big religious groups.
Though there are some issues from one religion with the others, each of these religious groups stays strong and keeps one of the others. This stalemate situation creates a sort of stability inside the nations.
Even Though there are no leaders or seven-grade combatants in this nation, they have a lot of six-grade combatants as a product of becoming Champion of God.
They even create an elite squad consisting of only a few people but all of them have the title of Champion of God. In terms of the overall main fighting force, the Holy Alliance is stronger than a nation like the Heart Kingdom.
Yet. no one could imagine that this strong nation that keeps getting stronger through their believer is gone in a single night.
Now, inside the Holy Alliance, a big magic circle covers the entire nation and black miasma balls keep raining down the land.
Countless undead monsters and monsters of various kinds run freely to hunt the remaining survivors of the Holy Alliance.
The Holy Alliance capital city should be spotless and colored in white as the sign of purity and holiness turns into a dark red colored city and ruble.
Inside the city, stands a blue-haired humanoid monster holding a horn with a huge black orb embedded on it.
"RAS.. VALL.. GULL.. SURVANT…. [Such a strong artifact yet not being used properly. What a foolish society. With this, I have an endless army!!]" roared the Blue Haired Monster while looking at the artifact in its hand.
Although the monster is only the size of a human, none of the monsters dare to approach it. Suddenly, in front of them, a bloody brown-colored humanoid appeared. contemporary romance
"Monster Overlord!! I will slay you!! ARRGGHH!!!" said the man before charging towards the monster at fast speed.
However, the monster could dodge all the attacks easily. Then, it manipulates the surrounding miasma into many pointy spikes towards the desperate man. The pointy spike hit the man and threw the man away.
Another pointed miasma attacked him and kept him bounced away. Still, this pointed spike could not penetrate the man's defense despite its strong force.
The man seems to be engulfed in white light and stabilizing himself in the air, "ARRGHHH!! Don't underestimate me!! Take This Wrath of God!!" shouted the man.
The greatsword of the man begins to shine and become a huge greatsword. Then, by using all his remaining strength he brought down the huge greatsword towards the blue-haired Monster Overlord.
On the contrary, the blue-haired overlord only looks at the approaching greatsword calmly without the intention of dodging. *BOOM* The greatsword hit the humanoid Monster Overlord directly and created a shockwave towards the surrounding area.
After the dust is settled, the monster overlord is still standing with the greatsword stop on top of his head. Grinning happily the Monster Overlord waved his hand and broke the greatsword into two.
Seeing this, "I-Impossible, that's all my strength with forbidden skill!!" said the man.
The man himself is in bad condition from all his injuries and all his hair turns white. Before he realized various kinds of miasma spikes were already embedded into his skinny body.
The Monster Overlord approaches the man's corpse with a grinning smile. Holding the corpse, "Ruff...Var.. Sor.. FII.. [Rise from the dead and serve me for eternity] roared the monster overlord.
After that, the man's body engulfed with thick miasma turns him into a dark black-skinned humanoid monster with red eyes. It held the greatsword artifact and release full of his grade six mana aura towards the surroundings.
Then, the humanoid monster kneels in front of the monster overlord. It is waiting for its master instruction and command.
"FUL.. BAIF FLA… [Hunt.. and bring more corpses like your caliber to me]" roared the monster overlord.
