I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 732 Monstrous Being

?

Dumrod knows that his grip over these dwarves could be broken anytime. There are a lot of factors that could make them break his control even after they make a pledge to him. A real dwarf pledge comes not from being subdued but from their respect.

This is also the reason why Elder Lotord didn't stop Dumrod. He knows Dumrod will never be able to control and become the dwarf king continuously, especially for strong dwarves. The dwarf race has an innate talent for being stubborn as a rock.

This stubbornness sometimes could lead to many magical things, such as breaking powerful mind control or even magical restrictive contracts. Therefore, Dumrod is not panicked and surprised at Forgus's strong reaction this time.

In contrast, if the Elder Lotord tries to fight Dumrod carelessly, he may cause a lot of casualties. Unexpectedly, Lotord's passive action only causes further damage as the monster-minded wreak havoc with Angus and the beastman. Not to mention the last survivor visitors.

Although most of them are not provoking trouble like Angus and the beastman, they are still strong. They could eliminate a lot of ordinary dwarf guards on their own.

As everyone prepares for the unknown calamity, the Undermine Council shakes. A moment later, everyone could see countless bluish magical runes everywhere.

This magical rune is the lockdown barrier preventing others from entering or leaving the Undermine Council. Seeing these magical runes, Angus couldn't help but shake his head.

'The rune is not only covering the ground but everything, even the scorched rubbles nearby. This barrier stays idle and adaptative, spreading to every non-living thing. This is truly an absurd barrier rune. I wonder what is the source power of such a complex barrier.' thought Angus.

*CRACK* *CRACK* Before Angus could delve deeper into his thoughts, a loud cracking sound was heard above Undermine Council. Everyone immediately looks above the sky and finds a giant crack in the air above.

"This is…" muttered Angus as he subconsciously pulled Jayna and Anna together.

*CRACK* *CRACK* A moment later, humongous hands penetrate the crack and grip it tightly. The giant hands try to forcefully open the cracking gap like sliding doors and make it bigger.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* The whole Undermine Council shook harder and various alarms sounded through the entire Undermine Council. Through this crack and giant hand, everyone could feel tremendous pressure coming from it.

'Draven, can you connect outside?!!' called Angus worriedly.

Facing such a dreadful monstrous being, Angus plans to escape rather than confront it directly.

'T-That thing…. Lock the whole space!!' replied Draven anxiously.

When the cracking appeared in the area, the lockdown barrier weakened for a split second, allowing others to teleport outside. However, the incoming monster could lock the whole space with its tremendous presence.

Not to mention long-range teleport, even Draven has difficulty using a simple short-range teleport skill. This situation was also noticed by Angus and Jayna. It is as if the space is trembling and unsteady, which makes any space-related skill harder to use.

A few moments later, the large hands forcefully open the crack bigger and reveal a colossal monstrous being. The monster is similar to Anna's drawing but on a much bigger scale. The body is covered in a dark purple hard skin with four arms.

The giant head has six faces and each face has nine menacing eyes. His body is also riddled with unknown dark-colored spikes similar to hedgehogs or blowfish. Each arm holding a dark-colored weapon. Some of the weapons release a tremendous amount of miasma or mana.

This also makes everyone think of this monstrous being as a monster-minded being capable of wielding mana and miasma simultaneously. As soon as the monstrous being landed on the Undermine Council, it opened one of its mouths as if trying to say something.

*GROOOOWLLL* No one could hear its words except a loud howling sound from the other faces. At this time, the crack above him distorted and turned into something like a quagmire before releasing countless flaming giant spikes everywhere. *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM*

By coincidence, the monstrous being landed atop the lava pool or the previous Stonehall area. This makes all the barriers the dwarf set up to contain the radiation destroyed.

The combination of intense radiation and the shockwave from the monster's landing kills almost all the dwarves nearby. Even the survivors did not have a long life because they were exposed to intense radiation.

This makes Elder Forgus madly angry. However, before he could charge and attack the monster, the giant monster was already assaulted from two sides. *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* On one side, a small figure compared to the monstrous being hit the monster's side stomach.

This figure is none other than seventh-grade lion beastman Warchief Might. As soon as the crack appeared in the sky, he prepared to give a preemptive attack.

On the other hand, the other attacker is a giant ancient dwarf that hit its head using his hammer. This massive ancient dwarf is the manifestation of the Elder Lotord's [Howl of Legacy].

Despite a few hundred meters high, the giant dwarf still looks smaller than the monstrous being. The massive dwarf must even jump high to hit the monstrous being's head.

Unfortunately, the two seventh-grade attacks couldn't penetrate the monster's hard skin. The colossal monster is still unaffected by this kind of attack and swings his arms to retaliate.

*BAAM* Warchief Might swatted like a fly and was thrown a few hundred meters away. He didn't expect such a large figure could also move fast and break the natural law. Moreover, Warchief Might, his body feels heavy just by getting near the monster.

He is unsure if it is because of the terrifying presence or the monster's space ability, as the space also fluctuates all over the monster's body. Just as Warchief Might rises from the rubble and wants to fight back, he finds a giant sharp spike approaching him. *BOOOOOM*

In contrast, Elder Lotord has a more easy way. His giant dwarf is separated from his real body. Even if it gets thrown or damaged, it will heal with his continued mana supply.

Still, it didn't mean he could easily escape the raining giant spike from above. The spike that is raining down the whole area is very deadly. Not only is it very sharp, but it is also shot very fast. It also comes in various sizes, from a few centimeters to hundreds of meters thick.

The huge one will grow smaller spikes all over its body and shoot randomly. This makes the spike cover more area and destroy the surrounding. Fortunately, the spike does not contain any miasma. Still, this kind of attack is deadly if someone gets directly hit.

Even the strong armor dwarf will get penetrated without any resistance when it hits. Unless the dwarf throws some powerful attack or deflects it, a single spike could reap their life easily. This shows the true power of these spikes.

*GROOOWWLL* The colossal monster roared madly before swinging one of his arms, holding a large hand axe. A moment later, a large distortion broke where the hand axe pointed. The large distortion rotates around until it becomes a massive pitch-black portal.

From the black portal, countless fire boulders spread through the area. Soon, everyone finds this is not ordinary boulders but another creature similar to the colossal monster. However, it has a smaller scale and wields different weapons.

Its body is also cracked and riddled with the elemental. Some contain fire elements, water, earth, or even lightning. The dwarf also finds this creature is very aggressive and good at close combat utilizing its four arms and weapon.

Even the fifth-grade dwarf captain had a lot of difficulty just to kill one. Yet, the colossal monster does not stay idle either. It didn't stop after creating one portal and a few more in farther places.

If Lotord didn't try to disrupt the monster with his giant dwarf, more portals would create a wave of these minions. Just as the dwarf and Lotord desperately fight against the colossal monster, a giant magic circle suddenly appears in the sky.

The red crimson magic circle suddenly shines and releases a massive rose pointing below. This sudden large-scale spell attracts everyone's attention, even the colossal monster.

Seeing this crystalized red rose, "Take cover!!!" shouted Lotord loudly to everyone surrounding.

"Bloom… [6th Circle Spell - Rose Hazard]." A soft whisper was heard in the air.

Suddenly, the crystallized ruby rose opened its petal and rained down the colossal monster below. The enormous monster shrugged off this crystalized petal and directly smashed it using one of his weapon spears.

*Crack* To everyone's surprise, the giant crystallized petals broke and exploded into countless small rubies. At this moment, the colossal monster finally realizes the horror of these large-scale spells. His strong hand slowly turned into crystallized ruby, along with tremendous pain.

*GROOOWWLLL* The colossal monster could only be howling in pain and trying to fight back to recover his crystallized arm. Unfortunately, the spell is too powerful and potent. His attempt to revert his crystalized hand only accelerates it further.
