Chapter 752 Throgon's Overlords
"Hmm... seven overlords, huh?" Shye muttered after hearing the first vital piece of information from the informant.

Apparently, there were seven overlords in the Throgon Death Zone as of a week and a half ago. However, the informant warned him to be vigilant for the potential rise of another overlord, as there were fourteen candidate monsters in the zone.
It wouldn't be surprising if the seven overlords became eight or nine by the time they entered.
After all, once a monstrous creature consumed the core of another within the same range of combat power, it could easily rise to the same level as the so-called seven overlords, who were probably apex (S)-ranked monsters, or possibly even stronger.
"Indeed, that is correct, Sir Crowley of the Black Dawn," the informant confirmed. "The seven known overlords currently are the Fire Dragon Emperor, the Wind Dragon Emperor, the mutated Rock Dragon Emperor, the ten-headed Hydra, the Golden Roc, the Stygian Manticore, and the Demonic Monkey King."
"These seven ruled their own domains, which made up for a total of sixty percent of the entire Throgon Death Zone, leaving only forty percent for the overlord candidates to rule over."
"The Fire Dragon Emperor leads a formidable force consisting of fifteen fire dragons—ten adults, three young ones, and two elders. Additionally, it commands over ten Durgs—dragons from other species that have chosen to serve under it. Altogether, its army is estimated to number between twenty-five and twenty-seven dragons."
"The Wind Dragon Emperor is regarded as slightly weaker than the Fire Dragon Emperor. However, thanks to its superior intelligence and speed, more dragons have chosen to serve under it, making its army even more formidable than that of the Fire Dragon Emperor. It commands over twenty wind dragons—all adults, including two elders—along with fifteen Durgs, most of whom are young dragons."
"These two dragon emperors have clashed multiple times in the past, but with their armies being equal in strength, they could only tolerate each other's presence for now."
"The one they couldn't tolerate was the mutated Rock Dragon Emperor. Despite having an army of thirty-five rock dragons—greater in number—its army was still considered somewhat weaker than the armies of the other two. Of the thirty-five, four were elder dragons, while the rest were adults. Additionally, eight Durgs served the mutated Rock Dragon Emperor."
Shye was genuinely surprised that a Rock Dragon could rise to the rank of an emperor.
After all, they were considered the weakest among the dragon race, with their only notable trait being their extremely tough scales.
"Well...there are rumors..."
"Rumors about what?"
"There's an ancient city that sank in the Gloomy Seas, said to be filled with treasures beyond anyone's wildest imagination..."
"Hoh, I see..."
Shye was intrigued by the sunken city, but he also knew this wasn't the time to risk his life based on mere rumors, hence deciding to push the information to the back of his mind for the moment.
"Please, continue to the next overlords."
The informant nodded, realizing that Shye wasn't too interested in the sunken city.
"The next one is the Golden Roc," the man said, pointing to the mountainous region on the eastern side of the Throgon Death Zone's map.
"Its domain is the Thunderous Emba Mountain Range. It commands around a hundred Thunder Rocs, which, although smaller and weaker than the subordinates of the dragon emperors, are highly dangerous. They can take turns paralyzing their prey, making escape impossible once caught. This threat extends even to the Dragon Emperors themselves, so none dare disturb the rocs' hunting grounds."
Even Shye wouldn't want to f*ck with the rocs if there was no need for him to.
"I see, please continue."
"The next overlord is the Stygian Manticore, which commands one hundred and fifty Fire Mane Pumas. While it may not be the strongest, it is far from the weakest in one-on-one combat. Additionally, its army makes it nearly impossible for any single party of adventurers to slay the beast."
"The last is the enigmatic pegasus, one of the ten mythical creatures. Its domain lies in the Plains of Hazebluff, in the heart of the Throgon Death Zone. While it doesn't command an army, it has the ability to make any creature obey its will instantly. It is classified as an overlord simply because it is a mythical creature. Its combat abilities remain unknown."
"Although the plains are considered its domain, as no other overlord dares enter the area, sightings of the pegasus are incredibly rare. It is only drawn to powerful familiar spirits. The last adventurer to encounter the mythical creature was Liiseon Ashbluff, one of the seven Yon Augenn Heroes, who was able to summon the White Tiger king-class familiar spirit as her familiar."
