Chapter 876- Three Kings Vs Three Overlords

After quickly disposing of the monster, he looked around him.

"I can't sense any familiar presence here. I must have been teleported quite far away. Talk about creating something annoying"

Gil-Garna clicked his tongue. He was sure that they had all been teleported to the next floor. However, where he was or where did the others got teleported to, he had no idea.

"So he plans to separate us this time huh? I am quite sure many of the members of our allied clan would have a tough time if they were to encounter those unusual monsters. There might be some casualty this time" he narrowed his eyes.

 "Well there is no point thinking about it. Let's clear this area as fast as possible so I can meet with others".

 And so, the Black Ogre King started to pulverise through everything as he proceeded forward. The place he was in, was called the Underground Chamber which was on the verge of being submerged and harboured many aquatic monsters.

On his way, he met many unusual beings that were no less strange than the Crypt Scarabs he had met on the previous floors. As for their levels, they were all above level 400.

However, unlike the crypt scarabs who had mind boggling numbers, the creatures in this submerged chamber had their own unique point and that was they were able to coordinate with each other and attack even from underwater.

It need not even be mentioned how much of an edge being able to coordinate an attack from underwater gave this monster. On many occasions, Gil-Garna had quite a headache to deal with them.

Heck, the idea of evaporating this place down even crossed his mind for a second there. That said, no matter how much trouble these monsters were to deal with, the opponent they were facing was after all one of the Seven Kings and the king of the black ogre, a rare individual who was able to grow a violet horn.

Adept in both magic and close combat, these monster stood no chance against him. And so, after a long while of gruelling fight and exhausting travel, Gil-Garna finally arrived in front of a stupendously large gate that seemed like the exit from this place.

Ding… [You have arrived before the Submerged Well. Defeat the Deep Sea Alligator King to exit the place] And of course, this place also had its own [Scenario].

"Hmm? Deep Sea Alligator King?"

 Gil-Garna frowned. The name sounded oddly familiar to him. In fact, he had met such a being before too, someone who tried to challenge them once a long time ago and was chased away from the Western region of the forest.

"It couldn't be those letdowns who occupied the northern region of the forest right?".

In any case, he pushed the massive gate open and was immediately flooded by waves of water that poured in. Beyond the gate, was a massive hall submerged in water that reached up to an adult human's head.

Even with his height, which was well over 6 feet, Gil-Garna was barely able to stand still. In the middle of the hall, there was an enormous dark well that looked like the maw of the abyss. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A faint presence could be felt from deep inside that well. When the Ogre King entered inside the hall, the gate closed behind him leaving no room for retreat.

The place was dark with no light present. An eerie silence pervaded the place and the only sound that rang out was the splashing noise from his movements.

Time passed by… just as Gil-Garna slowly made his way over to the edges of the well, the entire place started trembling with waves crashing all over the room. A massive column of water rose from the well and besieged the hall in all directions.

Its first target was the ogre king who deftly avoided the attack and retreated back. Nevertheless, with so much water filling the hall, the overall level of water rose, making it impossible for anyone to remain standing.

Gil-Garna was forced to use his Mana Wings.

"So you are finally willing to show yourself huh?" As he started at the dark well, an enormous figure emerged from within. Its eyes glowed underwater and when it finally peeked its head out, its figure could finally be seen clearly.

Pointed snout, elongated jaws riddled with razor sharp teeth and menacing appearance that could scare anyone. The creature had blackish grey skin covered with bony plate shaped scales that indicated its powerful defence.

 It had an enormous body and an equally long tail to boot. There was no doubt, it was the Deep Sea Alligator King that Gil-Garna was familiar of.

"Hoh, to think that I would meet you here. Did you bow in submission to that demon?"…

"Insolence, you dare speak to my master like that?"

The Deep Sea Alligator King roared in anger. Its large murky brown eyes stared at the ogre king without a shred of fear. If it was previously, the former wouldn't even dare to peek its head out of the water after all, it still vividly remembered the defeat he had once suffered from one of the seven kings, the Emerald Viperlord Shasurna.

However, this time was different. Not only was he far stronger than before, but he also found an ideal home where he and his clansmen could grow stronger without needing to be in the fear of the seven kings continuously.

As could be seen from the faint changes that occurred to the appearance of the Deep Sea Alligator King. It could now stand on its two hindlegs and showed high intelligence, a tell tale sign that it was not far away from achieving a humanoid form.

It now not only dared to peak its head in front of one of the beings who stood on an equal level as the Emerald Viperlord, but even argue back.

"Heh, it looks like you have grown quite some galls in these few years. Did you forget about that humiliating defeat you suffered under the hands of Shasurna? I remember him telling me how you pathetically begged for your life and had to leave your former home behind"

 Gil-Garna mocked, recounting the tales he heard from the Emerald Viperlord. However, contrary to his expectation, not only did the Deep Sea Alligator King not get angry, but it even grinned in return.

"That was past, this time if we were to fight again, the results would be quite different from before"…

"Hoh?!! How so? Let me experience where you are getting that confidence from for myself" Gil-Garna clenched his hands, the powerful aura of a being well above level 700 descended onto the place.

Facing that pressure, the eyes of the Deep Sea Alligator King shook for a second but was covered with an unyielding determination the next second.

He had been given a mission by his lord and master who provided him with all sorts of unconditional resources and environment to grow. If he didn't show the results of his growth, then it would only be shaming itself.

And so giving a deep guttural roar that vibrated the very air, the deep sea alligator king roused its own powers. The energy of a level 600 being flooded the place and clashed against the Ogre King's.

"Interesting… show me what you have got"

 Feeling the surge of power, Gil-Garna grinned widely. The next second he activated his own skill Infernal Claws to clash against the massive barbed tail that came swatting at him.

BOOM… air was blasted apart and massive waves churned inside the room. The skill from Gil-Garna caused a small part of the tail to become charred black; nevertheless, the force from it was still able to push him back and crash into the wall.

BANG… BANG… BANG… right after that huge water missiles spewed by the Deep Sea Aligator King came targeting him.

"Hellfire Blaze" a soft mutter leaked from Gil-Garna and at the same time a powerful heat capable enough to instantly evaporate the surrounding water and the water missiles before they even got close, radiated out of his body.

Flames churned and revolved around him like a tornado. Any attack and skills that came at him were instantly evaporated. Not only that, the violet horn on his forehead flashed and extreme winds capable enough to tear anything apart, started brewing around with him at the centre.

Two advanced magic at the same time and all it took was a couple of seconds to invoke them. From this, one could gauge how powerful one of the Seven Kings was.

"This isn't everything that you can do right? Come, show me your abilities".

In return to his taunt, the Deep Sea Aligator King thrashed around creating swirls in the surface of the water all around the hall. What came out of those swirls a few seconds later were beings who resembled lIzardmen but were made of water.

ROAARRR… at his roar, these lizardmen charged towards Gil-Garna unafraid of life and death. That was not all, after creating numerous lizardmen, the Deep Sea Alligator king submerged itself back into the water and started circling around his opponent.

Its massive body along with its momentum created a huge whirlpool that offset some of the heat and wind from the two advanced magic. Utilising this chance, the lizardmen who now transformed into a jet of water came crashing down on Gil-Garna.

"Not bad…" the latter grinned. A crimson shade appeared on his skin and his body increased in size in the blink of an eye.
