"Hurry, move!! Fall back towards the Ancestral Ruin!!" yelled Elder Moi towards the others.

"Isvel? How is it? Can you reach young master Angus?" asked Elder Fosa.

"No, I can't. He didn't pick up his communication device." replied Isvel.

"Tch.. Let's hope that young master Angus is alright. Alright, let's move back towards the Ancestral Ruin." said Elder Fosa.

As Isvel and the other elders retreat towards Ancestral Ruin to avoid the Monster Overlord, The other village camp is also in panic and chaos. Unlike Isvel and Angus's team, they couldn't move back towards Ancestral Ruin because of their poisoned and sick people.

This is the main reason the other village is not moving their camp in the Ancestral Ruin. More than half of their people are getting poisoned by Gilford's special poison and still recuperating until now.

None of the village leaders want to abandon their people since they are hard to cultivate and will create more complications later.

But, the situation has changed with the Monster Overlord showing up. They need to evacuate as soon as possible from their current place. Otherwise, their camp will be surrounded by a monster horde.

As the village leader contemplating their decision, "Leaders!! There is something in the sky!!" said one of the sentry guards.

All the village leaders instantly look at the sky and see an endless black moving cloud on the horizon.

"T-That's Darkwing Bat!! A horde of Darkwing Bat!!" said Datun.

"Tch.. Retreat!! Move towards Ancestral Ruin!!" shouted Farkas.

"Wait, How about the others that cannot move?" asked Mirva.

"Of course, we leave them. There is no way we could escape while carrying them." replied Farkas as he commanded his people.

"Y-You heartless!!" said Mirva.

"Mirva, this is not the time for sentiment. We need to move now." said Estar, reminding Mirva.

Meanwhile, Datun already arranged their people and started to abandon the ones that could not move.

Looking at this, Mirva grit her teeth, "Move!! Go towards the Ancestral Ruin. Abandon the one that cannot move!!" command Mirva to her people.

However, the dozen high-grade Darkwing Bat managed to arrive at the camp and create havoc. Mirva, Datun, and Estar immediately fend off the incoming Darkwing Bat.

[Water Dance 1st Step - Elegant River] [Hammer Art - Thousand Hurdle] [Twin sword Art - Blooming Roar]

Each of them managed to block the incoming Darkwing Bat horde. In the meantime, Farkas uses this chance to escape with his people towards Ancestral Ruin.

Looking at Farkas behavior, "Tch.. Cowards!!" shouted Mirva while fending off the fourth grade Darkwing Bat.

While the other village situation becomes more chaotic, Angus looks at the Darkwing Bat horde in the surrounding area. Just after Angus tried to retreat to Ancestral Ruin with Anna, A big humanoid Darkwing Bat appeared before him, blocking him and Anna.

From his perception, he knows that this is not an ordinary Darkwing Bat. Not only is its feature more humanoid, but it also didn't release any miasma like a normal monster.

"Anna, get back, let me handle her." said Angus as he covered Anna.

"Fufufu… What an interesting child." said the Darkwing Bat in front of Angus.

As soon as Darkwing said that, a huge pressure erupted from the Darkwing Bat's body. *Woosh* *Bam* Angus immediately falls to the ground.

'Shit.. This is almost the same as a seventh-grade combatant. Don't tell me it is a Monster Overlord.' thought Angus.

Then, the Darkwing Bat moved past Angus ignoring him towards Anna, who was in the battle stance. However, Anna also couldn't move from the pressure of the Darkwing Bat release.

Looking like the monster is coming towards Anna, "Leave her alone!!" shouted Angus as he struggled to get up.

At this moment, the Darkwing Bat notice this, "Hoo.. And what are you going to do? Be a good boy and stay there." as the Darkwing Bat increases the pressure on Angus.

Angus couldn't help but pressed on the ground.

"Arrgghhh… Release Angus!! Why did you hurt him?!! WHY!!" yelled Anna as she released her miasma.

"My.. Marvelous… Such a strong miasma. However, you are still too weak." said the Darkwing Bat while slowly approaching Anna.

With each step Darkwing Bat takes, Angus feels despair and powerlessness.

'No.. No.. No… Just as I vow to fight for you. No, Move!! Damn it!!' thought Angus while struggling to move his body which started to break under pressure.

"Now, let's see if you are worthy or not?" said the Darkwing Bat and stabbed Anna's chest using its finger.

Looking at this, Angus feels the time has stopped. "ARRGGGHHH!!!!" At this moment, his calm heritage chi reacts to his emotion and envelops his body with enormous chi.

Instantly Angus arrives at Darkwing Bat's side [Dynamic Punch]. *BOOM* Getting attacked by Angus, the Darkwing Bat getting thrown off far away.

The surrounding Darkwing Bat instantly attacked Angus, but they couldn't approach Angus as they touched an invisible barrier [Domain].

"Anna!! Wake up!! Please, wake up!!" yelled Angus while holding Anna.

"Angus... is Anna... a good girl?" Asked Anna.

"Y-Yes.. You are a good girl. Anna is a good girl. Just stay still" said Angus while taking a potion bottle to Anna.

"I see.. Anna is a good girl. I am glad. Thank you, A.. ngus.." said Anna before becoming lifeless.

Angus becomes terrified seeing this, time once again moving slowly.

"I-I am sorry. I should just accept you from the start. ARRGGHH!! I will burn you all in hell!!" as Angus releases a very thick killing intent towards the surroundings.

Many lower-grade Darkwing Bat immediately fell into the ground lifelessly while the high-grade one feared approaching Angus.

"Hahahaha…. This is interesting. I thought this would be a boring task. But, looking at this, I found something anomaly here. Hahahahaa." laughed the humanoid Darkwing Bat that was punched by Angus earlier.

"You.. Die!! [Soaring Heaven]" shouted Angus as he released a concentrated Chi beam towards Darkwing Bat. *BOOMM*

The area that is hit by [Soaring Heaven] turns into nothingness.

"Fiuhh.. Such a devastating attack. I should also get serious." said the Darkwing Bat while in the air.

Suddenly, she feels something grab her body and drag her down to earth. But, she resisted with her own power. As she resisted, Angus appeared in front of her. His upper clothes are already torn apart from the uncontrollable chi he releases.

Without hesitation, Angus launches a strong punch towards her [Focus Punch]. But, the Darkwing Bat also didn't stay idle. She counters Angus's attack using her own miasma-covered punch. *BAAMM*

Both of the attacks cancel each other, which surprises the Darkwing Bat. At this moment, Angus is going berserk and launches countless attacks towards Darkwing Bat. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

Both of them clash countless blows and create a ripple towards the surroundings for each blow. None of them getting the upper hand, but Angus's body slowly getting wounded. Not from the Darkwing Bat's blow but from his own chi.

Unlike Mana, chi is harder to control. Even with Angus's superb control, he could not control the enormous rampaging chi at his body. The Darkwing Bat also notices this and backs off from Angus. Angus didn't pursue the monster and stayed in his spot.

"Boy, you should give up. You will never defeat me with that kind of power." said Darkwing Bat.

"Shut up!!" as Angus gathered enormous chi in both his palms.

"Well, let's see how long you will survive." replied Darkwing Bat while creating a concentrated miasma ball in her hand.

"Eat this!! [Dragon Breath]" shouted Angus.

"Let's see if you survive this [Miasma Blast]." said Darkwing Bat.

*BOOOM* Both attacks clash one with the others and create devastating destruction towards the surrounding. Some people could even feel the ripple from far away, and the people in Ancestral Ruin could feel the tremor.

After a while, both of the attacks cancel each other and leave two figures. One is in the air while the other is on the ground. Angus, who is on the ground, has massive bleeding all over his body.

Because he was forced to use enormous chi in his body, Angus's vein started to rupture. Now, he could not even feel both of his hands.

Looking Angus is still surviving after taking an all-out miasma blast, "Hahaha… good, you are good. Unfortunately, our playing time is over." said the Darkwing Bat while smiling.

'Damn it!! Is this the end??' thought Angus.

*Thumb* *Thumb* At this moment, Angus hears a loud beating heart from behind him. The beating heart becomes faster as time goes by. Angus immediately looks at Anna's body who is on the ground far away from him.

With his remaining strength, Angus dragged his body to Anna's location. Meanwhile, the Darkwing Bat only looks at Anna silently. Then, Angus found that a few high-grade Darkwing Bat protected Anna's body from the aftermath of Angus's battle.

Ignoring the Darkwing Bat, Angus keeps focusing on Anna's beating heart. The other Darkwing Bat wants to attack Angus but gets an invisible signal from their queen. They immediately give Angus away.

Arriving near Anna's body, Angus immediately inspected her body. He found that her body rejuvenated each time her heartbeat. Slowly but surely, her body is getting stronger.

*Cough* *Cough*
