Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

"Boom", accompanied by a huge explosion, in a cave deep underground in the Delusion Land, the chase between the two powerful creatures finally came to an end after two months.

"Run! Let's see where you can run!" A coat woven from fungi fluttered in the wind behind the finely sculpted body. The incarnation of the Fungal Queen, who possessed terrifying power, overlooked the smoke-filled pit underground. At the bottom, a black dragon that was somewhat similar to Ik'Thuri, but larger and stronger, trembled and raised its head, looking desperately at the seemingly invincible demon lord.

The scales were shattered and the wings were damaged. The appearance of the black dragon was so miserable that it could not be described. As Zugmoy approached again, several illusory magic circles came out of its mouth. These colorful magic circles followed specific rules and operated in combination, echoing each other, and could exert power several times that of a single magic circle. However, all of this seemed so fragile and vulnerable under the iron fist of the Fungal Queen.

A sound like breaking glass sounded as Zugmoy punched the magic circle, which could not even buy a second for the dragons below it. The dragon's skull hit Zugmoy's fist hard, making a sound of bone breaking.

Certainly not Zugmoi's bones.

But at this moment, a magic circle flashing with black light lit up again under the feet of the black dragon. Amid the roar of the demon who was unable to stop it, the black dragon's huge and broken body disappeared again in this space, without a trace.

"It got away again!"

Zugmoi's rage could no longer be contained. He punched the empty space behind him, causing the space to become distorted. A fiery red figure flashed out from that space, and the greatsword burning with devilish flames collided with the fist of the Fungal Queen, causing a series of explosions.

"Gracia! I want you to give me an explanation!"

“What explanation do I have for you?” The Duke of Purgatory looked at the furious demon with a stern face, the magic sword in his hand showing a defensive posture, “You can’t catch it yourself, what does it have to do with me?!”

"It's clearly written in our contract. I am only responsible for making it appear. If you want it to repay its debt to you, you have to catch it yourself!"

"Fuck that bullshit contract!" Perhaps the endless pursuit over the past two months had completely exhausted Zugmoi's limited patience. The demon lord didn't want to listen to Gracia's explanation of the terms at all. He roared and pounced on her, confronting Gracia's magic sword head-on with his own body.

"The people in the abyss are all the same," Gracia angrily resisted the other party's dissatisfaction and sneered disdainfully, "Zugmoi! You don't have the capital to defeat me in the material plane! Are you going to keep wasting time like this until the dragon lich hides its tracks again!"

"I won't help you find it next time - stop it!"

Both sides here are just incarnations. Gracia naturally will not be afraid of the other party's power, but this is not in her interest. She doesn't want to waste her energy here in vain!
The demons in the abyss, from these lords to the humblest maggots, are all bastards with messy brains. After fighting with them for so many years, Gracia has never figured out what they are thinking!
The dragon lich has been running this land for so many years, so of course he has many tricks up his sleeve, so it's normal that he's hard to catch! What does this have to do with her?
She just came to see if Party B had finished his work! But she was knocked out with a punch!

The flames from the purgatory crossed in front of her body, melting all the soil and rocks in the underground cave. Zugmoi seemed to be a little afraid of this. Her fist instantly split into four pseudopods, which pressed down from all directions after bypassing the flames, trying to engulf Gracia with a cloud of spores. Although Zugmoi's body was not much different from that of an ordinary human, the pseudopods that split into arms were thicker than her waist. This unreasonable phenomenon was certainly not because the Queen of Demons had a way to lose weight, but because the body itself was just an empty shell. The pseudopods that were more powerful than ordinary magic weapons were stored in the shell and would appear when needed, dragging any creature that dared to approach her into her body and digesting it directly.

It’s somewhat similar to the way the Treasure Box Monsters hunt, or rather, it’s the other way around, the Treasure Box Monsters are like her.

"Zugmoi! Do you really want to continue this meaningless venting of anger?!"

After a few moves, Gracia was also enraged. The failure of her plan some time ago had already made the princess angry. At this moment, she was inexplicably attacked by her own "client". The long sword in her hand spewed out raging flames like a dragon, burning Zugmoi's finely carved body.

Battles caused by similar reasons are not isolated cases in the long history of the struggle between demons and devils. In the eyes of the demons, the devils are all a group of insidious and cunning conspirators. As long as things don't go as they wish, there is probably a devil behind them. In the eyes of the demons, the devils are all stupid people who don't care about right and wrong and don't even have a brain (silenced). Therefore, it is difficult for them to maintain a relationship of mutual use. As long as there is a little unplanned situation, they will immediately fight, but they will never miss any opportunity to calculate the other party.

That's why there are protracted bloody battles and...sudden fights like today.

And all of this is under the control of a third party.

The black teleportation array shone again, and in a hiding place that had not yet been discovered by Zugmoi, the dying black dragon reappeared. However, it was not the only creature here.

A ball of black fog, a ball of black fog even larger than the black dragon that appeared here, floated quietly, occupying a space of nearly a hundred meters. A pair of eyes filled with evil aura lit up like lanterns behind the black fog, and slowly enlarged in front of the black dragon.

"Master, master..."

The black dragon shrank, and every scale on its body was trembling. Compared with the black mist, it looked so weak and helpless. It crawled on the ground, staring at a small silver stone in front of it with confused eyes.

No, that was not a small stone, it was a scale, a dragon scale that had just fallen from its body.

"Zugmoi, you really invested a lot of money." A burst of sour breath sprayed on the black dragon, like a gust of wind blowing the shattered black scales on the black dragon's body to the ground.

The giant dragon that was crawling in front of the black fog and dared not move at all, showed some bright silver spots. (End of this chapter)
