《I Am Overlord》Chapter 1276: Dark Devourer Clan
Advertisement
The Dark Devourer Clan had been hunted to near extinction, and its few survivors had been chased out of the Devil Domain through the forbidden tunnel. The only reason there were still some survivors in the Devil Domain was that they had hidden some of their members before the three clans' attack. Only after the three clans retreated from their territory did they return. They had been hiding and recuperating all this while.
Originally, they didn't plan to expose themselves this early. Unfortunately, one of their scouts couldn't control itself and decided to devour someone, which was how their survival was exposed. Because of that, they were forced to make a stand once again.
Of course, they wouldn't commit the same mistake and face the three clans head on. Only a part of them was left behind as a distraction while the rest headed for the forbidden tunnel. They could sense the existence of their fellow clan members on the other side of the tunnel. Perhaps they could bring their clan members back to the Devil Domain, or perhaps they could leave through the tunnel.
In short, they had the initiative at hand. A day would come when they returned for their revenge.
Xiang Shaoyun had traveled with the Imperial Nether Clan members for a few days. During these few days, he had suffered greatly. He had previously agreed to ride with Ming Weini, but she had taken advantage of him many times while riding together.
He was sure that this woman was definitely in heat. Her entire body was basically plastered to him. She would exhale seductively on him every now and then, her hands constantly roaming all over his body.
Even a slow-witted person could see what Ming Weini was trying to do. The other Imperial Nether Clan members were full of envy when they looked at Xiang Shaoyun. However, Xiang Shaoyun himself had no interest. This woman was too aggressive. She was definitely not his cup of tea.

At first, he endured her provocations. His goal was to blend in with the Imperial Nether Clan members without growing too close to them. He also didn't want to stand out too much. Alas, he had reached the limit of his endurance.
"Seventh princess, I am not interested in you. Stop provoking me," said Xiang Shaoyun flatly.
Ming Weini wasn't angered. She smiled and said, "Are you shy because there's a lot of people? Don't worry, I'll look for somewhere private. Let's have some fun there. I promise it will be an experience of a lifetime for you."
Xiang Shaoyun smiled bitterly and said, "Seventh princess, I grew up among humans. I am a conservative person. We'll talk when I become interested in you in the future."
He felt like his refusal was candid enough, but Ming Weini's patience was remarkable. She said, "Ok. I understand. After this mission, this princess will grant you an experience of a lifetime."
Even as she spoke, she lightly drew her finger down his chest, nearly reaching his private part. He grabbed her hand in panic and said, "Stop provoking me, or I might really kill you!"
He was forced to be fierce, or this woman would grow even bolder.
"Yes! This is it! This overbearingness is what a real man should have!" said Ming Weini as she licked her lips.
Xiang Shaoyun felt like this woman was a lunatic. Fortunately, his warning was effective. At the very least, she had stopped touching him, allowing him to travel peacefully. After several days, they finally reached the Dark Devourer Clan's former territory.
When Ming Cigeng saw the thick baleful blood poison below them, he said, "The Dark Devourer Clan is indeed still around. From the looks of it, there are quite a lot of them."

"Lord Cigeng, let's attack immediately and flip this place upside down. I refuse to believe they can keep hiding from us," suggested someone.
The others also voiced similar suggestions.
Ming Cigeng waved his hand and said, "There's no need. The Nether Monarch had said that all of you are only here to train and understand the Dark Devourer Clan. Try your best to fight alone and prove that you have the potential to stand on your own two feet in the future. Princes and princesses, time for you to move in. As for the rest of us, we will be in charge of watching and preventing any Dark Devourer Clan members from escaping."
The ten princes and five princesses were stunned. Evidently, this arrangement was a complete surprise for them. When they recovered from their shock, excitement covered their faces.
"Just you watch. I'll exterminate all of them!" said a prince confidently before diving down from the air.
"Let's see just how incredible the Dark Devourer Clan is to dare challenge the three clans," said a different prince as he drew his weapon and dove down as well.
One after another, the princes and princesses dove down, showing no fear of the baleful blood poison.
"Nineteenth prince, why are you not moving?" asked Ming Cigeng.
"I'm not in a rush to die," replied Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.
As soon as he spoke, the baleful blood poison surged up and engulfed the princes and princesses. The princes and princesses were no pushovers. They instantly erupted in strength, trying to push the baleful blood poison back. They were confident they could easily push the poison away.
But when they touched the poison, their energy instantly rotted away. Their defensive barriers couldn't stop the poison. One of them wailed in pain. Evidently, that person had fallen victim to the poison.
Some were able to retreat in time, while some were able to erupt with an even greater strength to disperse the poison around them. Several figures shot up at an incredible speed and instantly reached the princes and princesses like specters.
The figures were none other than the Dark Devourer Clan members. Utilizing the baleful blood poison, they launched a fierce attack. The princes and princesses sank into chaos. Because they were frightened by the baleful blood poison, they couldn't even muster an appropriate response.
Fortunately, they were able to quickly activate their abilities and engage their opponents in battle. They were, after all, Devil Saints. Originally, they had all thought that they could easily complete the mission because they only needed to kill several Dark Devourer Clan members each. Only when the battle started did they realize how wrong they were.
The Dark Devourer Clan's Devouring Darkness ability was too terrifying. Even the Imperial Nether Domain could be devoured. The baleful blood poison they spat out of their mouths was also incredibly powerful. The princes and princesses were having an incredibly difficult time defending against them. It didn't take long for the poison to kill two princes. One could see how terrifying the baleful blood poison was, as even Devil Saints couldn't survive it.
"The Dark Devourer Clan is indeed powerful, but they're still nothing special," remarked Xiang Shaoyun flatly as he finally made a move.

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
