Chapter 728 Another Punching Bag



Avalon is a colossal-type monster overlord living in Morvo Wasteland's depths. It is common knowledge that Avalon is one of the most dangerous monster overlords in the world.

However, this source of danger is because of its mysterious ability to claim the life of anyone approaching him. This strange phenomenon is famous for being called the Avalon Curse.

Any living being turned to death within hours or seconds with blood flowing all over the victim's body. Still, few people know that Avalon Curse is the by-product of high-level radiation that is emitted by Avalon.

In fact, Avalon himself didn't realize this radiation until it claimed millions of people's lives. Still, few experts could discern this Avalon curse's true nature. It is an intense deadly radiation that kills any living being at a cellular level.

The strong radiation is very deadly and hardly defended. Fortunately, this is a magical world where nothing is impossible. People's body physiology is vastly different from postmodern Earth. Moreover, there are also a lot of other races with unique traits and physiology.

Strong radiation may still be deadly to most living beings, but it is not impossible to cure. Some strong races could even develop a certain body immunity towards it. One of them is the dwarf race and Elder Forgus is one of these few lucky ones.

During his younger days, Elder Forgus is a dwarf that lives inside Killmik Mountain. It was a mountain volcano range famous for having a big and deep magma reservoir.

This natural environment suits the dwarf race, who need high heat in their smithing process. Some of the dwarf secret techniques require a high heat that is comparable to star core temperature.

An active volcano with a deep magma reservoir is a great place for the dwarf community to thrive. The geothermal heat may not be as hot as a star core, but it constantly produces heat and fire elemental.

With the superb dwarf technology, the dwarf could easily collect the heat and fire elemental from it without wasting many resources. Unbeknown to the Dwarf community at Killmik Mountain, this deep magma reservoir also attracted the new Monster Overlord Avalon.

After migrating for almost half a year, Avalon arrived at Killmik Mountain. The dwarf decides to fight back to defend their home. Unfortunately, they all turn to death without even being able to approach Avalon.

Even after the dwarves evacuate from Killmik Mountain, most are still dying in the latter days. In the end, the only survivor of the Killmik dwarf community is only Elder Forgus, who is lucky enough to create a certain body immunity towards the deadly radiation.

Still, this experience is horrible and leaves a deep fear towards Elder Forgus. Now, Elder Forgus once again experiences the same deadly attack, not from Avalon but from Warchief Might.

Although the radiation intensity is much weaker than Avalon, it still makes Elder Forgus remember his traumatic past. He could still remember all his friends, parents, and seniors dying one by one in his hand, unable to fight against the Avalon Curse.

With the withdrawal of the last two dwarf elders and countless deaths of senior dwarves, the whole Undermine Council turned into a leaderless state. Currently, the dwarf could only follow the arrangement of the nearby dwarf captain, which is the fifth grade at most.

By coincidence, these dwarves also stay at the tower construction site in each sector. Besides the tower construction destroyed by Haidem, the others are still intact and progressing without stopping.

As for the recently crowned King Dumrod, no one knows his whereabouts after Angus destroys the whole Stonehall.

In the meantime, Warchief Might found another good punching bag. In front of him, a humanoid creature covered in thick black miasma keeps attacking him like a wild beast.

Using his keen eye, he knows this strange monster is actually a monster-minded person. He didn't know what was happening to the monster as it rampaging like a wild beast, but he also didn't complain about it.

Moreover, he notices another woman figure observing their fight not far from him. From his perception, he knows this female is also monster-minded.

Since the woman didn't make her move during his battle with the humanoid monster, he assumed she didn't have any plan to kill him. As for making him tired or weakening him, he didn't even need to think about it.

Every seventh grade is famous for its vitality and inexhaustible stamina. Unless they receive a fatal wound, weakening or tiring them through continuous battle is impossible.

Therefore, Warchief Might uses this monster-minded person as a punching bag to hone his technique and skill. Not far away from the Warchief Might's fighting location, Miranda is leisurely drinking tea in a classy chair on the rooftop.

Suddenly, the space beside her distorted before revealing a red-skinned woman wearing a white lab coat.

"Mind if I join you?" asked Nabe playfully.

Miranda glances at Nabe coldly without responding. The situation turns tense momentarily as if another big fight between seventh-grade and monster-minded people will happen anytime.

"Ahhh… Aren't you the Red Queen Nabe?" exclaimed Miranda cheerfully.

"Ohh… Did you know me?" asked Nabe.

"Nonsense. You are the one that created that thing. Did you know you are one of my idols? I never thought I would meet you here." said Miranda cheerfully.

·ƈθm Nabe smiled at this before taking out another classy chair and sitting beside Miranda. It is rare to find someone to acknowledge her work and achievement since it is claimed by almost half of the world's population.

"I am flattered. I didn't expect to meet a fan here." said Nabe.

"Yeah… So, where do you live now? What is your favorite food? What is your hobby?" asked Miranda excitedly.

"Hmmm… Why did you want to know this? Aren't you more curious about my work?" asked Nabe.

"Huh?! Why should I ask about it if I could just take over for you?" asked Miranda as if it were common sense.

"Take over?! Did you perhaps have the power to take over other people's bodies?" asked Nabe.

"Ehh… Is there such a convenient power?! Where is it? You don't know how hassle impersonating someone after you kill them is. I need to learn their life, habits, hobbies, and even their way of movement." complained Miranda at the end.

Hearing this, Nabe frowned at this monster-minded person but maintained her previous good smile.

'Her way of talking is similar to little Anna. It is confusing and very ambiguous. I don't know if she wants to kill and impersonate me later or just taunt me. Guess it is true that monster-minded people are really unpredictable.' thought Nabe inwardly.

"Hmm… Come to think of it. You had a very dark and bad experience in your younger days. I just hope you don't have any grandma's stubborn personality. Being constrained and stubborn people is too much hassle." commented Miranda from the side.

'No wonder all the seventh graders will attack monster-minded people. They really know how to hit the spot. She knows I hate others mentioning my age and being called grandma. She really knows how to make me angry.' thought Nabe with a twitched expression.

Just before Miranda could speak and taunt Nabe more, "I am here just to observe that battle maniac Warchief. Based on my observation, he somehow could release the Avalon Curse. This piqued my interest. I hope you don't mind me watching their fight." said Nabe.

"Ohhh… I see. Why don't you say so? I thought you tried to approach me to bribe Queenie or something. Goshh…. You make me watch and learn all that horrible past.

"No wonder you kill half of the world's population. Still, thanks to that you gain some fame and infamy among us. Just be careful when you meet others in the future. Not everyone is as big-hearted and smart as me. Well, they didn't call me Professor Isha for nothing." said Miranda.

"Professor Isha?! Are you a scholar or a researcher?" asked Nabe ignoring Miranda's first rambling.

"Yup. Even Queenie is learning from me. Hehehehe…" said Miranda as her laughter got more creepy at the end.

"Queenie? That's the second time you mention it. Well, no matter. May I know what things you have researched lately?" asked Nabe.

"Hmm… Good question. Normally, I would say I research your life. But, since you are my idol, I guess I could reveal it a bit. My current research is about how willpower, emotion, or feeling affect magic." said Miranda.

"Come to think of it. I still lack a seventh-grade subject. Will you perhaps want to help me as a volunteer?" added Miranda with a wide grin.

Nabe didn't say anything, just stoically looked at Miranda.

'Yup, she is taunting me to attack her. I guess she will keep blabbering things that could get on my nerves.'

'Geezzz… How troublesome. Just as I want to observe monster-minded people at close range, she becomes like this. Guess I will just go back looking at that stupid lizard.' said Nabe before silently disappearing into distorted space.

Noticing Nabe is gone, "Ehh… Gone already. Such a rude person. Everyone wants her to die." said Miranda.

After a few minutes passed by, Miranda suddenly clutched her chest in a rough breath.
