Chapter 14.2: Solo Killing the Xenos Overlords
Some impoverished small Overlords even descended from the mountains to capture slaves themselves.
Before Hades arrived, these small Overlords, hidden under the toxic mist and using psychic sorcery, were the villagers’ nightmares.
But after Hades arrived, his high-resistance gas mask and the Untouchable black zone specifically countered them.
Psychic powers? That’s exactly what I’m here to destroy!
After a few small Xenos Overlords who descended were slaughtered by Hades, the remaining Overlords decided to stay silent and secluded in their homes.
After weeks without any Xenos to kill, Hades pondered and then informed the nearby Death Guard that he was heading up the mountain to kill the Overlords.
Thus, Hades began offering head-hunting services for the small Overlords.
“Dear Overlords, enjoy the home service. Remember to give a good review~”
Hades remembered his first attempt to proactively enter a Xenos territory to clear a dungeon—
He was almost beaten to death, barely escaping with his life due to a burst of power from the black zone at the brink of death.
A history of embarrassment, but he survived.
Through numerous battles, Hades had refined his use of the black zone.
He could now use it to hide himself and inflict control, silence, and stun debuffs on enemies.
Unlike the Death Guard who fought head-on, Hades’ assassination missions were perfectly suited for these small to mid-sized Overlords.
Hades was single-handedly purging the south.
And now, he continues his work.
Hades moved through the relentless puppet horde.
The toxic mist and the creatures’ hot breath dispersed as he walked.
Ahead, a small fortress surrounded by toxic mist loomed before Hades.
Taking a deep breath, Hades gripped his scythe tightly.
It was time to begin.
