Chapter 127: Self-Destruct Protocol

[5th Circle Spell - Blossom of the Earth] The entire area on the Monster Overlord spot is covered with dozens of earth spikes. However, the undead knight and Monster Overlord already have caution from such attacks and dodge into the air.

"My turn!!" said King Nexus while flaring up his mana.

A moment later, King Nexus strikes all of them with his greatsword [Sword Art - Water Dragon Slash]. His aura resembles a water dragon that maimed all of them. *BOM*

All the undead knights got slashed pretty badly. Still, they begin to regenerate slowly with all the miasma all around. As for the Monster Overlord, it managed to retread back while parrying King Nexus's attack at the last moment.

Looking at the regenerated undead knight, "Urrg.. This undead is really troublesome." comment King Bulda.

"ROARR!!" roaring the Monster Overlord.

A burst of miasma immediately comes out from Monster Overlord's body. Its body becomes bulkier and its wound heals at a rapid pace. Its eyes become reddening and madder than before [Enrage].

Looking at the sudden transformation, the two kings are ready for another harsh battle. They know that it will be a long and hard battle for them. Soon, they begin to clash and create destruction nearby.

During this time, the earth wall that covered the whole beach became cracked from the various attacks of Whale Bust. The Whale Bust keeps coming from the sea towards the beach. They keep attacking the earth wall without stopping with [Water Blast].

After a while, the earth wall begins to deteriorate and is destroyed under the pressure of countless [Water Blast]. *Crack* *Crack* *BAM* like a broken dam, the accumulated water on the other side begins to flood the East Coast city.

Looking at the destruction of his beloved city, King Nexus feels heartache from this scenery. At this moment, his communication device rang.

While King Nexus keeps parrying the enraged Monster Overlord, "My King, there are thousands of Monster Overlords coming towards the East Coast city." a voice is heard from King Nexus's communication device.

Since the accident where a communication device was jammed by a monster last year, many experts have tried to create a special communication device that cannot be jammed. After a few months of hard work, they managed to create this special communication device.

Yet because of their hard production method and resources, the device could only be made in small quantities. Most of the owners are only King or other national leaders along with few important people inside the nation.

Although it is very expensive, a prosperous nation such as the Orces Kingdom still could buy some of them. King Nexus held one of them and gave the others towards his Royal Guards leaders.

Now, they could still communicate one with the others despite the entire area being jammed by low buzzing sounds coming from the sea and the Dark Forest.

Hearing his royal guard news, King Nexus's expression became more solemn. "Let the monster come towards the city, Initiate self-destruct protocol!!" said King Nexus while slashing the undead knight.

"B-But sir??" replied the royal guard leader.

"Initiate the self-destruct protocol!! That's an order!!" shouted King Nexus while holding back the Monster Overlord attack.

"Yes, Sir." replied the royal guard leader.

"Self-destruct protocol?! What's that?" said King Bulda.

"There is no time to explain. Bulda can you hold the Monster Overlord in one place for a few moments?" asked King Nexus.

"I can only hold him for ten seconds." replied King Bulda shortly.

"That's enough. Do it the moment I give you a sign." said King Nexus while clashing with the Monster Overlord again.

Both of the kings keep entangled with the Monster Overlord and undead knight in the sky while the monster begins flooding the city be it from the sea or the Dark forest. The monster wants to help its leader in defeating the two kings.

Usually, at this moment, the Monster Overlord could command the monster army to attack the surrounding. However, it has already lost control to command others properly and got enraged from its injury.

Right now, all it wants to do is to kill the two people in front of it. Even Though the Monster Overlord is quite smart, it is still a monster and it still couldn't fight its aggressive nature.

The monster army that lacked its leader could only follow their previous command to occupy the city and help their leader. Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the East Coast city, there are royal guards that standby there.

"Sir, Are you sure about this?" said one of the royal guards.

"Yes, this is an order from his majesty. Now move!!" shouted the royal guard's leader.

After that, the royal guard leader entered a tunnel towards the underground of East Coast City. Running along the tunnel, he arrives at the big bluish crystal above the pedestal. Without hesitation, he shattered the crystal using his sword.

As the crystal shattered, countless red lines spread throughout the wall and emerged to the whole city. 

Above the city, few groups already standby on various kinds of spots at the city outskirts. In front of them appeared a similar bluish crystal that was shattered by the royal guard leader.

After Shattering the crystal, the royal guard leader contacted King Nexus. "Sir, the preparation is complete." said the royal guard through the communication device.

Hearing this, "Hold my signal before launching it." reply to the King Nexus shortly.

During this time, the two kings not only fight the enraged monster overlord but a few grade four monsters that come from the sea and Dark Forest. Suddenly, the two kings feel a dangerous attack coming from behind them.

A dozen of black wooden spikes launch at them. Despite its speed, they still managed to avoid it. Using this opportunity, the Monster Overlord attacks King Nexus. Using his sharp claw on its hand, it managed to tear his armor and injure King Nexus back.

The pain of getting hit by a coated miasma claw makes him scream in pain, "Arrgghh…" screamed King Nexus.

"King Nexus!!" as King Bulda comes to rescue him. while launching many earth spikes towards the Monster Overlord.

But the Monster Overlord immediately backs away from the Earth Spike attack. Using this chance, King Nexus flared up his mana trying to expel all the miasma that embedded in his wound.

"ARRGGHH… [King's Might]" a burst of mana kept coming from King Nexus's body.

Looking at the skill King Bulda knows that King Nexus couldn't fight for a long time. As the Monster Overlord came towards King Nexus again, A burst of water sprouted from below and it attacked the Monster Overlord unexpectedly.

After getting attacked by the water torrent, the monster overlord felt a similar danger from behind it and quickly moved away from its position. Behind his spot, a transparent dagger shows up trying to pursue the monster overlord.

As for the water, it turns into a big horse covered in water and arrives at King Nexus's side. 

"Master, you are injured." said Silyu telepathically. 

Looking at his worried familiar, "Don't worry Silyu, protect my back. I will show him the true strength of a seventh-grade combatant."

Hearing his master command, "Hieeghh…" said Silyu while begin to hunt all the nearby grade four and five monsters that starting to gather around.

But, more and more monsters are coming to the city at a fast rate. The beautiful city that is prosperous and the source of entertainment becomes infested with various kinds of monsters.

At this moment, King Nexus's speed and strength are doubled than before. He jumps towards the Monster Overlord that is busy avoiding the hidden attack from the dark elf.

Approaching Monster Overlord, "Eat this!! [Sword Art - Wave Strike]" shouted King Nexus.

His sword is engulfed by a thick bluish mana layer and coming towards Monster Overlord. *BAM* the attack leaving a strong mana attack towards the Monster Overlord. It managed to dodge at the last second. But, Half of his right arm was destroyed by the attack.

Looking at the injured Monster Overlord, King Nexus grabs the invisible dark elf and goes towards King Bulda who keeps fighting against the undead knight. Along the way, he grabs his communication device, "Do it now!!"

In the outskirts of the East Coast city, the moment the royal guard leader heard the command, "Do it!! Break the crystal!!" shouted the royal guard leader.

Few groups that stand by on the various spots keep protecting the crystal from the monster nearby. But, after hearing their leader's command, they immediately shattered the blue crystal.

As soon as all the blue crystals broke, a red line appeared all over the city. Less than a second later, the red line became a gigantic magic diagram. The magic diagram has a clock arm that starts to move.

Looking at the magic diagram, "Bulda, Hold the Monster Overlord now!!"

"Alright, cover me!!" replied Bulda shortly while directing his hand towards the monster overlord like grabbing it.

The Monster Overlord danger sense feels tingling looking at the gigantic magic diagram. Before it could move, it felt like being held by a gigantic hand along with the increasing gravity in its surroundings.

"UURRGGGAAAHHH!!" as King Bulda flare up his mana to hold the monster overlord position.
