"Attack!" they scream, it's a boring sound to me. Every time, I always hear that from them, the lizards who want to attack me. Without knowing my abilities, they thought I was weak, weaker than a lizard. That's something funny, worth laughing at.
"Hahaha."
Okay, I'm laughing at them out loud.
"Is this serious? Do you think you can beat me? Is this serious? Oi, oi, you guys are joking huh?"
"Shut up! You will die here!"
They ran towards me, and I moved my eyeballs here and there quickly, to look around me.
There, right beside me, 10 meters away from me, was a lizard holding Fred's son. The lizard was given the task of guarding it, not participating in this fight. Therefore, my first target was him.
When a lizard arrived in front of me, I grabbed its spear and kicked it.
"Borrow!"
Since Fred's son is being held hostage, I must not injure him. The gap I have is only a small one, and it also depends on my luck if I aim this spear at the gap, the gap between the body of the lizard and the gap of the body of Fred's son who is in front of the lizard.
"Oh... lucky..."
Throwing this spear up, right at the pointy rock and under the lizard, I'm sure it will hit him without hurting Fred's son.
And sure enough, the pointed rock fell right onto the lizard's head.
Running fast there, attacking some of the lizards that were near me, I finally got in front of this Fred's son.
"Are you okay?"
"Father, Father..."
He trembled, seeing his father lying there. His feelings were a mix of fear and sadness. But even so, I tried to calm him down.
"Your father isn't dead yet, so take it easy. Now, you run to your father's place, I will protect you."
"Y-Yes."
Wiping away his tears, he started to run to his father, and I followed suit.
When some lizards tried to attack him, I protected him, kept trying to protect him.
"Father..."
When he got there, he hugged his beloved father, full of warmth.
"O-Oh, Kevin..."
"Father, are you all right? S-Sorry, because of me, y-you…"
"I'm fine. It's not all your fault, Kevin. You've been working hard all this time, so this time, it's Father who has to work hard."
"No, Father..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Fred stroked his son's hair, reassuring him not to cry anymore. And after that, he saw me.
"You… Thank you, thank you for helping me."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Besides, I'm bored up ahead, so I'd better come in here."
"You... Even though I only asked you to take me, but you helped. Thank you, Ryuki-san."
"Yes."
After confirming his words, I helped him up.
"You even helped me up. Turns out, you're a good person, Ryuki-san."
"Yeah, and don't talk too much, you're badly injured."
In his stomach there were 3 holes, it looked like they had been hit by the spear they were holding, and it hurt him.
"Lizard Flame!"
Flames suddenly emerged from the lizard's hand, spurting towards me.
"You guys hurry-"
"Frinding Water!"
He, Fred's son, dispelled the fire with water spewing out of his hand.
Is this the so-called "Magic Clash"?
"Oh, you're great too, Little Boy. You were able to dispel my fire magic. Truly extraordinary. But this time… you won't be able to anymore."
Hearing those words, I told them to leave.
"You guys better just go! Leave this to me."
"Are you sure, Ryuki-san? He was a Lizardmen who had quite good magic. Are you sure you can fight it?"
"I do not know. But… as long as I haven't tried, why am I afraid?"
"Oh, you're right. Alright, I'll leave this to you, Ryuki-san."
"Gah, go!"
Before they left, the black lizard let out another fire from his hand.
"Super Flame Lizard!"
Unlike the previous one, the fire that came out of his hand was bigger and so hot. Maybe because the black lizard added the word "super", the fire became bigger.
Seeing his eyes that weren't looking at me, I knew where he was aiming.
"You… run in a zigzag fashion, it will help you to avoid getting hit by the fire."
Yeah, the fire was aiming at them when I looked into those eyes. Therefore, I told them to run in a zigzag fashion.
"Okay."
As they ran, the fire chased them.
Glancing to the side for a moment, I saw a lizard daydreaming there. Without thinking I went there.
"Instead of daydreaming, I'll just use you as a shield. How?"
"A-Ah?"
Pulled his hand, took him running towards them, got there, I threw this lizard into the fire, and the lizard screamed because it was hit by the fire.
"AAAARRRGGGG, HOT..."
Seeing the black lizard controlling the fire, I ran over to it.
While running, I didn't forget to borrow a spear from the lizard that was daydreaming beside me.
"Borrow briefly. You'll just take it there."
I stopped, focused my eyes on the black lizard, pulled and pushed the spear towards it, and the spear plunged into its body.
The fire disappeared, as I expected. The black lizard was controlling the fire from there, it's the same as someone controlling a drone to spy on me. Therefore, the main target of this is the one controlling it.
"Fucking..."
He seems angry with me. He also looked at me like he was looking at someone he wanted to kill.
"Quick, kill him!"
He had the dreamy lizards kill me, but they weren't a problem for me.
Swinging this ax at his neck, stopping this ax before it touched his neck, I scared this lizard.
"Oi, be my shield, otherwise this ax will kiss your neck."
"..."
He froze with a panicked look on his face, maybe I was intimidating him too much.
Since there was no answer from him, I pulled his hand and brought him to the black lizard.
Running with this lizard as a shield, when I got there, I pushed this shield into the black lizard, making the lizard quickly pierce my shield.
"I didn't think you'd kill your family—oh wait, I've done that too."
"I don't care, they want to die or I kill them because they are only my pawns."
"Then, what do you care about right now?"
"All I care about right now is increasing my strength."
"Oh, I see."
"With these Heirlooms, which I have stolen from the heads of those stupid families, I can grow stronger and rule this country. Hahaha."
He laughed, burst out laughing. He seems happy with it.
"Hahaha..."
I don't know why I laughed too. But it's just, I laughed not because I was happy to hear that, but because I laughed at it.
"So, after taking control of this country, what are you going to do?"
"Eh? I haven't thought of that. What is it? Umm... maybe... But if that's the case, I'll end up getting killed. Then what is it?"
He was lost in his thoughts at my question.
"I don't know, after that how. But for now, I believe I can rule this country. Hahaha."
Okay, he didn't find the answer.
"Wait! You are Class E, why should I, Class B, talk to you? Insolent, have you been playing a prank on me earlier?"
"No, I didn't do that."
"Die!"
He swung the spear at me, and luckily I had good reflexes, allowing me to dodge the spear.
"Oi, lowly being, you're telling me to die? Who are you? God? How dare you control me."
"Die!"
He attacked me again, but this time it was from his mouth that was oozing green liquid.
"Ugh, disgusting."
Since I didn't want to step on the green liquid, I made some lizard corpses as my foothold. And after that, I threw this ax right at his neck.
However, the ax didn't hit him, the lizard's hand suddenly changed, turning into a tiger's arm.
"Hahaha..."
He wore Fred's Heirloom, which was a ring, and it turned his arm into a tiger's.
"What a tremendous power that tiger-man is. With this hand, I can crush anyone who stands in my way."
Don't forget he to laugh too.
I think the heirloom can turn into a weapon. Also, said Fred, besides being able to turn into a weapon, heirlooms can turn into something dangerous. And what I heard from him, Hiyori has an Heirloom that can turn into a Fairy.
So, it's fitting for me that this black lizard wants that power. Plus, now he had so many Heirlooms in that pocket. Thus, this black lizard will be troublesome for me.
There was only one choice at this point, kill or be killed.
