MTLNOVEL Chapter 471: The Orcs Make their move
[AN: I'm so so sorry, this is supposed to be the right chapter, 471, I'll upload the other one which is chapter 472 one sided Battle]
BOOM!
The body of a wolf-like beast exploded into several fragments, painting the ground red. Nox withdrew his fist, now covered in blood, his sharp gaze scanning the battlefield, taking note of the carnage he had wrought.
To his side, his pets were also engaged in a fight that could only be described as a one-sided slaughter. Having witnessed Nox's prowess, the rest of the beasts had immediately abandoned their fights and attacked him instead.
Right now, it could be said that all the monsters within a five-mile radius were solely focused on Nox. Initially, he had wanted to test his strength alone, but due to the overwhelming numbers, he had no choice but to call for the aid of his pets—whom he had told to stay back some minutes ago—to join him.
Catching a brief moment of respite, Nox's dark gaze swept across the battlefield, and he noticed the Granite Colossus.
The towering stone golem, its gleaming eyes fixed ahead, was currently in battle with a couple of mutated grizzly bears, their enormous frames standing nearly as tall as him.
BOOM!
Granite Colossus slammed its rock fist into the chest of the female bear, who let out a sharp yelp of pain. The powerful force behind the golem's punch sent the massive beast skidding across the ground, crashing toward a group of monsters.
This group of monsters—which included armored rhinoceroses and blade-clawed tigers—had been focused on a shadowy, cat-like creature. They didn't even know the beast's exact appearance, as it continuously phased in and out of their shadows, striking when they least expected.

Each of the cats attacks was precise and lethal; as such, every monster present in the area had their attention locked onto it. Because of this, they failed to notice the massive grizzly barreling toward their direction.
Before they could fully grasp the situation, it was too late.
The bear's massive shadow cast a gloomy light over them, and what followed were painful cries of agony as the beast collapsed onto them, crushing several creatures beneath its enormous weight.
A satisfied look appeared on Granite Colossus's features. It let out a deep, rumbling growl, which seemed to say, "That's what you get for ignoring me."
Meanwhile, the male grizzly became enraged at the sight of its mate's lifeless body. Its chest heaved, its breaths coming out in ragged huffs, its gaze burning with fury—an anger capable of igniting its latent power.
Without a moment's hesitation, the beast pounded its chest fiercely.
BAM! BAM!
Granite Colossus's orb-like eyes flickered as it noticed a shift in the bear's aura. Its strength was skyrocketing. The golem instinctively took a step back, its dumb, rocky face filled with perplexity. Even the ground beneath the bear began to quake, fine cracks spiderwebbing outward.
Its eyes… they were turning a deep, menacing red.
"Finish it off. It's going into berserk mode."
Nox's calm voice echoed in Granite Colossus's mind.
"The bear is also at the Emperor rank. If it fully transforms, you'll have a hard time defeating it."
The golem felt oddly reassured hearing Nox's composed tone. If they weren't in the middle of a battlefield, it would have found it difficult to believe that someone could remain this calm amidst such chaos.
To Nox's command, Granite Colossus gave a firm nod. Lifting its leg—an action that confused the bear, which was still in the middle of its power-up—the golem slammed its massive foot into the ground.
BOOM!
CRACK!
A sharp stone spike burst from the earth, striking the bear's side. The beast let out a deafening roar as the jagged rock tore into its flesh, lifting its massive body slightly off the ground before slamming it back down. Blood dripped from the spike.
However, that alone wasn't enough to stop the bear.
—SNAP!
With a furious growl, the beast tensed its body and ripped itself free, chunks of stone breaking off as it stumbled forward. Blood poured from the wound, but the bear didn't falter. Its eyes, glowing red with rage, locked onto the golem.
Unfortunately for it, Granite Colossus was prepared.
Without hesitation, the golem covered the short distance between them and wrenched the jagged spike from the ground.
Kicking off with its 400-plus strength stat, the golem drove the spike straight into the bear's skull, killing it on the spot.
Nox shifted his gaze just before the bear's body collapsed lifelessly to the ground. The golem's rocky face lit up with excitement, and it hurriedly turned toward Nox as if to ensure its master had seen its splendid performance.
A crestfallen look soon appeared on the golem's face when it saw that Nox wasn't paying attention. With slightly sagging shoulders, it turned around to continue its battle—until Nox's voice rang once more in its head.
"Well done. That was impressive."
The golem's eyes lit up immediately, and with a renewed fire burning in them, it rushed back into the fight, battling with even more fervor.
'If my beast army grows any larger, it'll be a real headache to bond with all of them,' Nox mused to himself. 'How did Gustavo Cromwell even manage it?'
Huff.
Nox exhaled, shaking the blood off his hand as his gaze swept across the battlefield.
His pets tore through the remaining beasts, their movements swift and merciless. The ground was littered with corpses, and the thick, metallic scent of blood hung heavy in the air.
The Granite Colossus, now fully immersed in battle, slammed its massive stone fist into another mutated beast, sending it crashing into the wreckage of its fallen kin. It moved with an almost unnatural enthusiasm, its rocky form gleaming under the dim battlefield light.
Nox noticed this change and let out a small chuckle.
'This guy… it's really eager for praise, huh?'
His gaze shifted to the battlefield. Though many monsters had already fallen, several Emperor-tier creatures still remained. Some were still locked in combat with his pets.
Looking further ahead, he spotted Zara in her dragon form, her enormous body towering over the battlefield.
She was unleashing streaks of frost from her giant maw, turning dozens of beasts into frozen statues. She moved with such speed and precision that even those attempting to dodge found themselves ensnared in her cold storm, their bodies freezing solid in mere seconds.
Watching this scene from their hidden spot, the orcs shuddered.
"We need to do something," one of them grunted. "If we don't, these intruders will make our territory uninhabitable."
The High Orc, the one wielding the enchanted staff, had a grim expression on his face as he spoke.
