I Just want a Peaceful life

"Guard, send her to Master Valeron." command king Leon.

"N-No.. This should not happen." said the woman hysterically.

As the guard picks the woman that is in a panic state, a commotion heard from the outside. Before long a person in full metal armour comes in.

"Selin, Are you alright?" said the man.

Looking at the butchered meat paste along with the Orion symbol, the man immediately looks at King Leon who is smiling.

"King Leon!!" roared the man.

"Who are you? How dare you…" before the head guard said anything further, King Leon raised his hand and made him stop talking.

At this time, the man in full metal armour flared up his mana and managed to suppress the other guard while King Leon looked at him with slight interest.

"Stop, Barnes. Get out from…" said the woman in white attire named Selin.

Before she could finish her sentence, King Leon disappeared from the spot and a crashing sound heard. *Boom*

"Hoo… You managed to react to my attack." said King Leon casually.

Meanwhile, Barnes in full metal armour is crashing into the wall. His full metal armour is broken into pieces revealing a man in mid twenty years old.

"Ehh.. unexpectedly you are still young. Let me guess you are the one that is called the champion of God." comment King Leon.

Suddenly, Barnes releases huge mana towards the surrounding and shows he is a grade six combatant. Feeling this the guard couldn't help but stagnant on their spot.

"Impossible… How could he already grade six combatant at that age." said one of the guards.

Everyone knows that grade six is very rare and the main powerhouse in this world. The youngest human race grade six is Duke Victory who reached this level a few years ago at the age of forty. But, now a younger person reaches this grade in the middle of his twenty.

"It seems my guess is right. You are the champion of God. Come, let's see if the champion of God worthy of its title." taunting King Leon.

Then, Barnes takes his sword, "DIE!!" both of them immediately clash at fast speed. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* Every clash produces a shockwave towards the surrounding.

Fortunately, the grand palace is heavily enchanted that could even withstand a punch from King Leon. They may have clashed a lot but for the people who could see their movement, it is King Leon that is toying with Barnes.

Each shockwave is produced by King Leon fist while Barnes could only parry the attack without a chance to counter-attack. Even if he tries to dodge, the King will almost catch up in a moment later.

Finally, King Leon punched Barnes's gut and threw him away towards the nearby wall. Barnes could only accept his fate and embedded it into the nearby wall.

"*Cough* *Cough* I-Impossible. What kind of power is that?" said Barnes while coughing some blood.

"Tch.. Done already. As usual, the champion of God is weakling. You are even weaker than all my Dukes." commented King Leon without answering Barnes.

"*Cough* I-I was supposed the champion of God. *Cough* The will of God Orion. *Cough* *Cough* Haa.. There is no way Ha... I will be defeated by a blasphemer such as you." Said Barnes while he channelled all his mana towards his necklace.

"Die you, Heretic!!" Roared Barnes.

Suddenly, Barnes couldn't feel his hand holding his necklace. Few meters away from him, King Leon stood still while holding a hand that was grabbing a necklace.

"Ehh… an artifact. Interesting... what does it do?" as King Leon took out the jewellery necklace from Barnes's hand.

Feeling the ache of losing his hand, "ARRRGGHH" shout Barnes painfully.

King Leon looked at the artifact carefully before walking away, ignoring Barnes and Selin. 

Looking at their king already ignoring both of them, "My king, what should we do towards them?"

"Huh.. of course, dispose of them. Also, clean up this mess." said the king while looking back at the artifact.

Before the head guard went, "Oh yeah. Kill that woman too and send an Exterminator squad to hunt all these Orion believers. Also bring all of their documents, records, or artifacts here." command King Leon.

"Yes, my Lord." said the head guard respectfully before sending some men.

A few moments later, the old butler Darius comes in along with a few other butlers and a maid. Then, they begin cleaning the throne room from the meat paste and blood like it is a normal occurrence.

Looking at the mess inside the throne room, "This will take a while." said the old butler Darius while supervising the other employee.

"Darius." call the King from the throne.

"Yes, my liege." replied Darius respectfully.

Then, King Leon throws the necklace towards Darius. Darius catches the necklace while waiting for further instruction.

"Huft… these religious organizations are getting bolder lately. Make sure none of them could influence my child. Also, send that artifact to master Valeron for research along with the record from the Orion organization." commanded King Leon.

"As you wish, my lord." replied Darius.

"Oh yeah, How about Ulvic's condition?" asked King Leon.

"The third prince, he is still frustrated over the artifact." replied Darius.

"*Sigh* he should just give up that artifact. Even I could not do anything about that spear. Alright, you can go now." said King Leon.

"Yes, my lord." replied Darius politely.

As Darius backs away, a guard comes in.

"My lord, this is a letter from the Black Fortress." said the guard while giving the letter to King Leon.

"Alright, you can go." said King Leon while dismissing the guard.

Then, he opened the letter seal before reading it carefully. A few moments later, King Leon burned the letter before going back silent as nothing happened.

'I hope this is enough.' thought King Leon silently.

Later on that day, the Orion religion is declared as a rebel organization that tries to assassinate King Leon. All of its believers are killed on the spot and their resources are confiscated by the Extermination Squad.

Extermination Squad is a special squad that deals with search and destroy jobs. They also often hunt hidden organizations that endanger the kingdom. They always get their job done to the root or source of the organization.

There is a saying you could do any crime but never being targeted by the Extermination Squad. Almost no one ever got away from the Extermination Squad.

Whenever they targeted something, it is like they know everything about the target from their hiding place to whatever they hide.

Meanwhile, in the Black Fortress, a huge construction is built. If the wall surrounding the Black Fortress is about 5 meters tall, now it becomes ten meters tall and all of it is heavily enchanted.

To anticipate the Monster Overlord attack around a year from now, the Heart Kingdom didn't spare any resources and made the new wall Fortress completely with Palpat stone.

As one of the hardest materials in Firuman that is as rare as Manatium, the Heart Kingdom is paying an enormous price to gather all these materials along with the construction and engineering expert.

It could be said that the Heart Kingdom is using all their resources to fortify the Black Fortress. This shows how serious Heart Kingdom's response towards the attack of Monster Overlord is.

Although there are many other kingdoms besides the Heart kingdom that are near the Dark Forest there is still a chance for them to be targeted and attacked by Monster Overlord.

Not only this, there is even a rumour that King Leon asked for a few high grades in his allied kingdom and hired a high-grade mercenary to defend the Dark Fortress.

Based on Duke Victory's report and what he knows about the new Monster Overlord behaviour, he finds that the new Monster Overlord is too intelligent and much more dangerous than other Monster Overlords.

Moreover, there is still no concrete knowledge about the new Monster Overlord since all its body is enclosed with dark thick miasma.

Besides the Heart kingdom, the other kingdoms in the Dark Forest also begin fortifying their defence to prepare for war against the new Monster Overlord. 

Now, every high-grade mercenary, be it from an adventure guild or not is getting an offer to increase the security of kingdoms and nations.

While all the nations increase their fortification and prepare for war, inside the inner area of Dark Forest a thick miasma is covering everything like usual.

A whisper chanting sound in an unknown language could be heard from the inside of this thick miasma.

"ROOf.. As… Gull... VARDA" as the chanting ends.

Few distortions in the space appeared in the surrounding, after a while a thick black miasma that produced the chanting sound released a roaring sound. *ROAR

"GGRTTTFFTT….[Why do you disturb my sleep? O newborn Overlord.]" a sound heard from one of the distortion spaces.

"HUUMMHMMM…. [Yes, I am in the middle of a sweet dream before you disturb me, young one.] a humming sound heard from one of the distortion spaces.

"ROOAARRR… [You better have good reason to disturb my bath time.] a roaring sound heard from one the distortion space.

"KYAAK AKKA… [At ease, everyone. I believe you have your reason to call all of us Monster Overlord here.]

"RAA… BVAA… ALGULL… [It's time for civilization to become a sacrifice]" replied the thick miasma.
