Chapter 312: Archdemon Vs Troll Overlord
"The big guy is out of slumber," Alros muttered. He did not fly yet, merely standing on one of the tree branch for vantage point. He did not want to be attack by the five soon, especially when his distraction force had expired.
He already making some new ones, but it will take a few days before they are ready to distract them. In the meantime, he make sure to not send any other A-ranks to hunt down the large monster tribes, instead opting for the elimination of the smaller tribes by sending some of his B-rank monsters to do it.
Of course, the B-rank monsters that do so are those that he captured, from Kobold Lord, Goblin Lord to Orc Warlord and Lizardman Great Chieftain. They lead the C-rank monsters he caught during his previous expedition, most of them captured during the large tribes assault.
With them helping garnered SP at the side, he could focus on the main battle. He then turned his eyes towards the lumbering Troll Overlord. The pressure the monsters exude cause some of his monsters to stop, fear on their face despite not having the same facial expression of a human.
For the Fiend Race, it is even worst. Alros could see the power of the monster causing some of his to be attracted by it, likely their instinct to serve a more powerful member of the Fiend Race.
The Archdemon clicked his tongue. This is something he had expected, but it is a gamble unleashing his Fiend Race monsters toward this camp. He had thought being of Demonic or Demon variants would help.
His assumption is correct but it did not give outright immunity to what is likely a skill to force any Fiend Race member to submit to them. Though, the leaders showing sign of breaking the skill.
Especially Gobruk. The Demon Goblin Noble in particular had a veins almost popping from how hard he glared. Soon, he let out an exhausted sigh, almost falling on his face if he did not caught himself.
'Looks like he manage to break from whatever that is,' this is also another gamble in his part, all in hope of allowing Gobruk to become greater than he is right now.
"I should make sure he will be alive first," he muttered as jet-black wings erupted from behind him as the Archdemon flew towards the Troll Overlord.
The Troll Overlord, not expecting to see another powerful monster could barely brace itself before if was send sprawling, it's massive form lying on the many buildings and likely killed some of its troop.
When it get up, it stared at Alros with what could be described as a Troll's angry stare. It then grabbed a nearby tree and brandish it like a club, ready to destroy the being who likely orchestrated this.
As for Alros, he still staring at how effortlessly the monster pulled out a tree before he shake his head really fast.
'No time for this. Let's fight,' he said to himself as he took out his spear. Though, he did not plan on killing the monster. After all, why kill when he could use it for many things. Like, for now, it is a perfect sparring partner and would allow him to gouge his current strength.

The two powerful beings exude overwhelming power, causing the fight in the distance to stop, both looking at their respective leader. With that said, the staredown lasted for a minute before the Troll Overlord took the first step.
Swinging its mighty club, the air pressure changed from the powerful swing. However, Alros is not effected as much, his Wind Barrier, a spell he learned from the Grimoire of Wind series allowing him to block the powerful pressure.
However, the swing seem to be the distraction, as the monster raised a palm and unleash its magic attack, a single bolt of white color heading towards him.
The Archdemon merely scoffed, a Mana Barrier appearing around him and absorbing the attack with no issue whatsoever.
As both attack failed to hit him, Alros uttered, "My turn,"
He make a motion of going up with his left hand, causing vines and earth to wrap around the legs of the monster. While he already proficient in Nature Magic, Earth Magic is a recent addition, to help him imprisoned the monsters if his Nature Magic did not suffice.
As the legs of the Troll Overlord was tangled with vines, it did not show any concern, as a mere swing was enough to destroy the vines and earth.
However, it did not see the Archdemon's smile. If not, it would have been more wary of what will took place. Little sprouts grow around the Troll Overlord, but it did not touch him, causing it to not paid any heads to them.
It is a big mistake as the large monster lumbered towards him, Alros clenched his fist. Immediately, the ground shook as a large monster seemingly woke up from its slumber, ready to crush those that disturb it.
The monster revealed itself to be a hand made out of earth, rocks, soil and the very forest, one that was about to crush the monster.
Seeing this, the Troll Overlord unleash a barrage of spell to destroy the hand. The demon scoffed at such action. After all, this is a spell meant to kill very powerful monsters like the one in front of him.
"Nature God Hand," is the name of the spell, and as he clenched his fist, so does the giant hand. When it does, the Troll Overlord could sense what will happen and try to make it escape.
However, the demon did not plan on letting him has his way. He appeared in front of the monster before sending a powerful kick to its chest, sending it staggering. This brief moment was enough to for the hand to grasp the monster like a toy, before squeezing it.
Loud, guttural sounds erupted from the monster's mouth, as it restrained by the attack. It tried to break free but nothing manage to break it, even after strengthened it's body with the use of magic.
As it could not escape, it watched with fear in it's eye as the other being descended towards him, a spear in hand. As the being get close, it prepared itself for its death when the spear gently tap its forehead.
Or so it seem to the others. For the Troll Overlord, it is like a powerful spell cast on it.
"Submit, or die,"
