Amon, The Legendary Overlord

Standing still, lightning crackled around Amon. His fighting spirit was very high as he observed the entire area with enhanced senses.

From a distance, he was able to accurately analyze what was happening. It was a group of people fleeing from monsters, coming from the direction of the Cemetery of the Condemned.

‘This is very strange.’ Amon tried to guess as he reflected: ‘Doesn’t this seem like normal behavior… Could it be that one of them, more precisely, has something these monsters greatly desire?’

At the same time, the sound of battle reached them, and soon it was possible to see who was being pursued and the various monsters that were almost or even worse than the monster Amon had killed a short time ago and which was chasing them.

“How are we going to deal with this?” Maisa murmured.

The other girls also had their doubts. Earlier, Amon had to strike multiple times to kill a monster that was near the Star Rank. It was easy to see how high the monsters’ resistance is at this level. Not to mention that the strength of Amon’s attacks is very high, even for those at the same level as him. So, for them, who are not even at the same rank, would it be possible to cause any damage?

Honestly, all the preparation they had done in case it was needed had become somewhat laughable. However, even though it was so, even knowing they would not have the strength necessary to assist in such a battle, the girls still forced themselves to stand firm.

Amon, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as he watched the unfolding scenario between the four humans fleeing from the monsters.

‘As I thought, there’s something strange about that boy.’ Amon stared intently at one of the fleeing humans.

Among them, one received the sharpest glances and was most marked by the monsters, but it seemed that the group fleeing with him was unaware of this because the boy in question was camouflaging himself, always staying close to one of them, making it appear that he was not the target. However, from Amon’s perspective, it was easy to notice that there was something strange about him, or more precisely, there was a hidden reason that made him the target of the monsters chasing them.

*HiSSSsss~!*

The sounds produced by the monsters were incredibly horrifying. It was as if every time they made vocal sounds, they were capable of bringing along with them the coldness of the most cruel things in the world, thus causing those who heard them to even petrify on the spot.

It was almost admirable that this group of four people managed to keep fleeing from such monsters for so long. The effects of the sounds created by these monsters became apparent when the girls began to feel a vague, growing fear, accompanied by a noticeable reduction in their power. However, everything improved when Amon created a barrier of lightning around them, thus eliminating all the effects the monsters had on them.

“Scary…” Ariel murmured, her face slightly pale.

Julia looked at her and quickly agreed with a nod. Read exclusive chapters at freewebnovel

Monsters over 10 meters tall, some with wingspans up to hundreds of meters. Such a scene alone was terrifying enough, not to mention that there was a high chance they would be drawn into this battle even if they didn’t want to.

‘Should I take them all to the city?’ Amon wondered.

Initially, he was confident in protecting all of them, but seeing the number of monsters, and even realizing that some of these monsters were at the Star Rank, it would be complicated to deal with this and protect the girls at the same time. Although it would be a good way to sharpen the girls’ instincts and powers if they experienced such a battle scenario, it would not be ideal if the outcome was their deaths, even if they were revived in the tower.

As Ricard ran, getting particularly close to Minerva, who had the strongest defense in the group, he detected something that made his eyes light up. With his special eyes, which could see through concealments by channeling energy into his eyes, he spotted a group of people hidden nearby, not far from where they were.

“Let’s go in that direction!” Ricard shouted, acting as if it was a normal choice, rather than something premeditated.

Minerva looked at him with her eyes full of caution from being pursued. Although she did not know why Ricard chose to go in that direction, she knew about Ricard’s special eyes; thus, she thought he must have found some kind of escape or something similar.

“Yes, let’s go.” Although extremely tired, Minerva’s voice was still controlled.

The other two also followed closely.

Meanwhile, Amon, who observed this development, snorted coldly. The next moment, the lightning accumulated in his hands began to produce lightning arrows nearly the size of spears, which he then hurled forward, and these same lightning arrows appeared very close to the group of four people who were heading in their direction.

“Danger!!”

The danger alert for this group rang at maximum alert. The moment they noticed the lightning arrows coming their way, they were forced to change direction and, before they could resume their original path, other arrows appeared from the side, forcing them to deviate further or be hit by the attack.

“Trying to set us up? Dream on.” Amon, hidden away with the girls, snorted coldly as he spoke.

The girls, who automatically understood, looked in the direction of the group with their eyes narrowed in vigilance.

One thing was to ask for help, another was to set them up by bringing along a group of monsters to use them as a distraction from the monsters or something of the sort, and possibly sacrificing them to escape.

“Despicable!” Maisa spat on the ground in disgust.

“It doesn’t seem to be all of them.” Mabel was more analytical as she said, “I think that boy there is intentionally directing the group towards us. The others don’t seem to have noticed us yet.”

“They’ve noticed now.” Amon said slowly.

“Ricard, you…” Minerva, who grasped the core of the issue, her eyes grew colder as she looked at him.

It was easy to discern Ricard’s plan when they were forced to divert and, upon looking more carefully, even without Ricard’s special eyes, after concentrating a bit of energy in their eyes, they could see a bit through the concealment of the nearby people. It was no wonder they were attacked now; after all, she would do the same. How could she tolerate people who would intentionally attract a swarm of monsters towards them?

Frank, who looked more like a delinquent, also looked towards Ricard, and a light of disappointment and even a hint of disgust passed through his eyes.

At this moment, they also noticed a pattern…

The moment they distanced themselves slightly from Ricard, they realized that the monsters were more focused on him. It was as if he was some sort of delicacy that would make these monstrous beasts desire to devour even his bones.

“What are you hiding from us, Ricard!?” Fugaki, who had seen his sister die in this confrontation against the monstrous beasts, was furious thinking that the blame was actually on someone from their group, not because they were unlucky enough to attract the attention of so many monsters.

Ricard had an extremely ugly expression. He looked at the three who had distanced themselves from him, as well as at the group of monsters furiously chasing mainly him, and at that moment, besides fear, he felt furious. For an instant, even without knowing who was hidden and was behind the lightning arrow attacks, his anger and fury were directed in that direction.

‘Son of a bitch, if I find out who you are, I swear by all that is holy that I will make you wish you were dead!’ Ricard, who until then felt that, although they were in a dangerous situation, still had things under control, seeing his control unravel, felt extremely furious.

Obviously, he was also afraid now. Seeing the look from his group, he realized that they had discovered that he had something with him that made these monsters pursue them so vigorously.
