Chapter 698 Playing Ball



"We should try to follow them for the time being." said Angus.

As they go outside the building, Anna suddenly gets away from Jayna's clutch and runs fast somewhere.

"Anna!!" called Angus and Jayna.

*BOOOM* A moment later, a booming sound was suddenly heard nearby. Angus and Jayna Anna's presence and find she is standing on top of two dead dwarf guards. The poor dwarf guard's body is no longer intact, even though their strong armor is crushed.

"See… The bubble burst. Anna is not the wrong one. That pervert is superrr weird." said Anna as if she didn't do anything wrong.

"*Sigh* Alright, let's go now. The dwarf guards are already on the way here." said Angus.

"But…" protested Anna again

"I know.. I know… That pervert is weird. Anna is not wrong. Now, let's get out of here first." said Angus.

"Hmph!! Carry Anna!!" pouted Anna while spreading her arm.

Jayna smiled and just carried the little monster into her arms. Then, the two continue their run while secretly following the mad beastman nearby. They hope these beastman will bring them to Merra's hideout.

Meanwhile, King Dumrod gets the report about all the chaos in the Undermine Council.

"My king, those monster-minded keep making chaos and killing our people. They even fight the guards nearby the construction at sector 5. Please allow us to put them down." said Elder Thror through a holographic video.

"Stand down. Focus on finishing the tower!! Just ignore…" said King Dumrod before stopping and looking in a particular direction.

"Hehehehe…. So much… Destruction. Let's make it... burn!! Naz.. fur.. Kosh.." said Miranda, the monster-minded professor Isha.

Miranda starts chanting in an unknown language. The chanting gives a mysterious aura and reverb throughout the Undermine Council. Everyone could feel Miranda was using a super large-scale spell while in the air.

As Miranda kept chanting, someone suddenly appeared before her while brandishing his Warhammer. *BAMMM* The Warhammer is stopped by a black-colored hand.

"I am sorry. But Professor Isha is busy at the moment. Maybe I can help you as her assistant?!" said Arnaut politely.

On the other hand, the owner of the Warhammer immediately takes a distance from the monster-minded person. This dwarf is the Elder Lotord, the seventh-grade dwarf.

He may not dare to casually move against Dumrod. Still, it is a different case if it is monster-minded people. He didn't hesitate to slam these people into meat paste.

"Move, monster!!" said Lotord before charging at Arnaut again.

Arnaut smiled politely and only made a pistol gesture towards Lotord [Miasma Blast x 100]. *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* Instantly, a fast black light shot in front of Arnaut in less than a second.

As soon as the black light is gone, the Elder Lotord disappears as if he is vaporized from the attack. This crazy attack surprises all the people who are observing them, and even Miranda herself.

She stops chanting for a few seconds before continuing again, holding her mad laugh. In contrast, Arnaut just blows his finger as if he didn't do anything significant. He knows Lotord is still alive somewhere since no invisible wave announces his death.

Moreover, Arnaut knows seventh grade is like them regarding tenacity. They are very hard to kill. As Arnaut expected, Lotord is still alive but heavily injured. Currently, he is embedded in the cracking Undermine Council inner cave wall.

This location is hundreds of kilometers from his previous position. After coming out from the cracking wall with difficulty, he immediately falls to the ground below while coughing black blood. He could find the potent Miasma already corroding his body.

Arnaut's attack is not a simple miasma energy attack but a Miasma Blast, which should be a high concentration of miasma attack. This kind of attack should be the trump card of monsters since it consumes a lot of energy and could weaken them at certain periods.

However, Arnaut can release this dangerous miasma blast 100 times in under one second. Although each miasma blast is not as huge as the normal one, it travels faster and has a more piercing effect.

At the same time, Angus and Jayna stare vigilantly toward Arnaut's location in the air from below. They never expect Arnaut to have extreme combat power.

"Wooahh… that's so cool. Arnaut is really great." said Anna.

"Anna, did you know Arnaut is this strong?" asked Jayna in a surprised tone.

She didn't expect someone she lectured and threatened to burn to be this strong. At this moment, she even questioned her actions not too long ago.

"Hmm… Nope. But Anna knows Arnaut is reliable. Arnaut is the most reliable among all." replied Anna.

"Then, which is the strongest of the people before?" asked Angus.

"Hmm… It should be Mitar. Well, he is Mira's boyfriend, so he should be strong." said Anna.

"M-Mira's boyfriend?!!" exclaimed Angus and Jayna in surprise.

"Ahhh… Anna should not say that. Mom, Dad, forget what Anna said before." said Anna.

"Err…" reacted the young couple.

Still, they couldn't figure out the hygiene and beautiful Mira is dating a fat greasy Mitar who looks like an NEET from Angus's past life.

In the meantime, all the dwarves were surprised at such strong monster-minded people. They didn't dare to approach the two monster-minded in the air. However, they couldn't stay still and let Miranda finish her large-scale spell.

Various spells launched from the ground below to reach Miranda in the air. Unfortunately, before the spells land on the two figures in the air, another monster-minded person appears while dancing in the air.

Using his unique dancing movement, Adol deflects all the incoming spells like it is nothing.

"Adol, glad you could join us." said Arnaut.

"Huehuehue… I am just curious about what the professor is doing. As good students, we should see and listen to the professor." replied Adol.

Seeing another monster-minded appear, most dwarves go crazy and hide in their building, leaving only the senior dwarf and guards on the street.

The dwarf guards also know the situation is turning from bad to worse. They decide to risk their lives and charge toward the three monster-minded in the air.

"Hooo…. This is interesting. Say… Is anyone interested in playing catch?!" said Arnaut.

"Playing catch?!" replied Adol before smirking on his own.

Arnaut snapped his finger and created a powerful transparent barrier ball that covered Miranda in the air.

Grabbing the transparent ball, "Renault, catch!!" shouted Arnaut, throwing Miranda to the ground.

The transparent ball is thrown fast and creates a strong sonicboom to the surroundings. The dwarves are surprised at this sudden mad behavior. Unfortunately, they really can't predict monster-minded people's actions.

*BOOOM* A few moments after Miranda was thrown into the ground, another sonic boom was created, along with the building getting destroyed. Some dwarf captains soon notice the monster-minded people are actually throwing Miranda's to each other.

Furthermore, they could see Miranda chanting without distraction inside the transparent barrier. Somehow everyone feels like the monster-minded people are playing time ball.

The last person holding the bomb ball when the time ends is lost. Instead of using time, they replace it with Miranda's spell. The time ball also will not be harmless. It may destroy everything in the Undermine Council when Miranda finishes her spell.

King Dumrod, who saw this inside the stonehall couldn't help but curse all these unpredictable monster people.

"All dwarf guards and elite high-grade dwarfs come outside and stop those monster-minded from finishing the spell. Leave only those experts at crafting at the construction site." ordered King Dumrod through the communication device.

Hearing their king's order, some senior dwarfs emerge from the construction site to catch the monster-minded people. This makes the progress of construction in each sector getting slower. However, Dumrod didn't have any choice either.

He didn't know what kind of spell Miranda cast, but he didn't want to gamble on it. He had already sacrificed too many things to ensure his plan worked. This movement is also perceived by the injured Lotord, who keeps chugging Miasma Antidote non-stop.

"*Cough* *Cough* Hehehe… What a fool!! Finally, can't stay still any longer, huh?!" said Lotord while coughing some black blood.

Under the effect of Miasma's corrosion, his body is not only getting weaker but also affecting his mental state. If Lotord was calm and calculative before, now he looks brazen and has psychopathic tendencies like monster-minded people.

This means his miasma corrosion is severe and penetrates deep inside his body. Ordinary dwarfs will die in less than a second in this condition. Fortunately, Lotord is in seventh grade and suppresses the Miasma corrosion.

Along with the help of the Miasma Antidote, he slowly expelled the Miasma in his body at a slow pace. This process is painful and literally weakens him. Even a first-grade person may be capable of killing him in his state.

Unfortunately, he is located at the edge of the Undermine Council. His location is very secluded and empty, without people in the vicinity.

"Fuck!! This Miasma… Damn, I am slowly losing my mind. Is this what they felt, huh?!" said Lotord to himself.
