Muku was confused for a mont.
Then he noticed that the nine remaining people in the room had been sucked dry and got killed. It had done it silently and quickly. So, he didn't sense it.
That wasn't all, he could no longer sense anyone alive in the base above him. The bastard had sucked all their life force as well. No wonder it had gotten so much stronger.
"You will regret that" Muku spoke. His voice radiated anger.
Humans were already dying like flies all over the world. Which he couldn't do anything about. However, for the Monarch to kill so many of them in front of him. It was like adding more wood to the raging fla of anger in his heart.
"Bring it on!" The Monarch replied in a similarly angry voice.
They both stood still for a mont. Just glaring at each other.
BOOOM! BOOOM!
At the sa ti, they ran forward. Muku didn't even teleport. He wanted to et the Monarch head-on. And beat it into the ground. He wanted to rip both it and its superiority complex apart.
BOOOOM!
A loud explosion went off the mont the two sides t. They both had thrown punches at the other. Their punches t each other in the middle.
The resulting shockwave left cracks in the walls which spread in every direction. Their power levels were fast approaching levels the special tiles couldn't handle. After they gave out, everything was sure to co crumbling down.
Neither Muku nor the Monarch cared about that, however. They only cared about tearing the other party apart.
Boom! Boom!...
The two kept on punching each other left and right all over the room. As expected, the tiles soon gave out. Everything ca crumbling down.
They, of course, got out in ti. They continued their fight in the air. The barbaric way they fought showed just how much they despised each other.
Neither had used an attack spell since the beginning. They wanted to hurt the other party as much as possible before finishing it.
BOOOOM!
They sent out a punch at each other which pushed them in opposite directions.
"I've had enough of this! ROOOOOAR!" The Monarch took the chance to send a breath attack in Muku's direction.
Which looked rather odd since its face was featureless. The breath attack ford just a few centitres in front of the area where the mouth would be located.
"Hhm!" Muku made an unconvinced sound. Then he held out his hand.
Boom!
A huge tal door flew out from beneath the ground. It was the sa door which was used in the secret room.
Muku could create his own tal to fight with. However, using sothing that was already around saved mana so...
Anyway, the huge door then flew in front of Muku and stood like a shield. He could have easily dodged it. However, he chose to block it instead. Who knew where the beam would hit if he avoided it? It could end up killing so innocent people or sothing.
BOOOOOOM!
An explosion went off when the beam and the door t. Muku was taking care of another task as he blocked the attack.
He had been fighting while protecting Chloe. Which held him back a little. He spotted the other girls a distance away. So, he teleported her to them.
The girls were startled by Chloe's sudden appearance in front of them. However, they adjusted quickly enough. They had already seen Muku's new appearance.
Which made them accept pretty much anything. He always does sothing like that. He'd randomly get new abilities whenever there was a need for them. Though his current form and strength were a bit exaggerated. How tf was he so strong?! Even Audrey couldn't keep up with what was going on. And what was the eerie green thing he was fighting?
Was that the Monarch? Was he already strong enough to tussle with a Monarch? Didn't they all recently reach Rank Three?! The strength he was displaying was definitely not R3 strength. It might even be above R4!
How was that fair?! Were they even using the sa rank-up system? The girls felt bitter. They wanted to sue!
If the Monarch knew what they were thinking. Maybe, it would want to make them its sworn sisters. Then they'd go and sue Muku together. The cheating a**hole!
"Oh my?!" Audrey exclaid in shock after seeing William's body which appeared soon after Chloe did.
"Poor girl" Audrey continued as she looked between Chloe and the deceased William. Even in an unconscious state. She could tell that Chloe was grieving. Tears were continuously falling from her closed eyes.
To think things had turned so bad in such a short ti. Only if they were strong enough. They might have been able to help. They had tried to jump into the hole to help. However, Muku repelled them back with his Telekinesis. It was just before he and Chloe were immobilised before.
He knew that the others going in at that ti would have just led to more problems. As an understanding group, the trio no longer tried to enter. They even moved a distance away. Which turned out to be for the best.
"Let's go" Layla spoke after collecting herself for a bit. She had gotten really close to Chloe. So, she really felt for her.
She encased William's body in ice and put it in her Shadow Pocket. Audrey carried Chloe on her back, and the girls moved further away from the battlefield. All their moods had been dumbened by William's death.
Just a few hours ago they had been thinking about how they were going to free him from the Monarch's control. And how Chloe was going to tell him she was striving to be part of a harem. Yet, all that won't be realised since he was dead.
They had never had anyone close to them die in front of them like that since the apocalypse began. Of course, that's when Emily's death and rebirth were ignored.
So, William's death really stung. Despite them not being familiar with him. Like at all. Layla and Emily hadn't even seen him in person before. Yet, they all found themselves shading tears as they walked away.
They all swore in their hearts to get stronger so that such losses never happen again.
.....
Back to the battle...
"You disrespectful brat. How dare you use my door against !" The Monarch complained angrily.
The door had been specifically crafted to be able to resist its power. So, it was mostly unhard by its attack. A few more might be able to destroy it. However, it was work the Monarch shouldn't have had to do!
"Hmm... I wonder" Muku didn't reply to the Monarch's words. He seed to be stuck in his own thoughts.
The Monarch was about to lose it again thinking it was being underestimated. That's when Muku placed his hand on the door.
Bang!
It instantly broke apart. Scrap tal flew everywhere...
"Pfft... Hahaha, that was your only sure way of blocking my attacks. I'll make you pay for you arroga..." The Monarch thought Muku had arrogantly destroyed the door to show that he didn't need it.
However, it couldn't finish its taunt as the scrap tal gathered together in the air. It then turned into a black liquid. It kinda looked like a black version of rcury.
"Oh, no you don't!" The Monarch scread hysterically and then charged toward Muku at high speeds. It had enough experience to know not to let soone create sothing during an equally matched battle.
Such things are always what gets the other side killed.
The Monarch reached out to grab the blob of tal. The hand enlarged as it got closer to Muku. It was the sa move it used before when it blocked Chloe's lightning.
Unfortunately for the Monarch Muku had seen it coming from a mile away. So, by the ti the hand arrived. He and the blob had teleported to the place behind the Monarch.
The tal blob then attached itself to his body. He was completely encased in it for a mont.
Then the blob turned solid as well as took on a specific shape. It turned into a pitch-black armour that covered Muku from top to bottom.
Even his head was hidden behind a scary-looking helt. Which looked like a smiling demon of sought. The aura it gave off was different from any of his previous armour.
The current armour almost seed to be alive. Even the air Muku himself released was affected by it. It turned darker. Almost evil in fact...
"Well, this is unexpected... I'll call this one Nightmare Armour. For it is going to be your nightmare. It's ti we end this..." Muku spoke. His voice sounded raspy and creepy behind the armour.
The Monarch froze for a mont. It suddenly felt like its death might be guaranteed now...
It was regretting keeping the mysterious tal it had found randomly all those years ago. The tal was already door in the shape of the door from before.
It was basically indestructible at that ti. However, it had lost most of its strength over countless years of existence. Which was why it directed William's crew to where it was. Since it wasn't only resistant to the Monarch's power. But every other power.
Which made it perfect for locking things that shouldn't be seen behind it. It was only through the weird enchantnt on it that they were able to use it.
Now, the Monarch was regretting it. Nothing had happened yet. But it could sense danger from Muku which was at least a thousand tis more intense than before. The dangerous feeling kept on increasing as well.
{No! I refuse to die here! I have died once before already! I have to think of sothing! I can only think of one thing... Should I do it?} The Monarch thought to itself while looking at Muku intensely.
It was on guard. Ready to defend the mont he moved. It didn't even think of attacking anymore.
