Chapter 12 - CHAPTER 12: THE ZYGERRIAN WETLANDS

[LOCATION: THE ZYGERRIAN WETLANDS.]

*WHOOSH*

*SPLASH*

"KIEEEK!"

 

Three lizard-like creatures, with dark green scales and blood-red eyes, screeched as they ran past a puddle of water, chasing after Jeong.

 

"Huff… huff… shit, don't you guys get tired?"

 

Jeong said while running away from the lizardmen-like monsters, who have been chasing him for hours.

 

"Tsk… who would have thought that the scales of the lizard men's scales are covered with a liquid that prevents blunt force? Every time I hit them, it feels like I am hitting water."

 

Jeong said as he looks behind and saw the lizard men still running after him.

 

 

*WHOOSH*

 

"KIEEEEK!"

 

A lizard man appears right in front of Jeong with a spear in its hands. Seeing that Jeong was distracted, it thrust its spear forward with the intent of taking Jeong's head.

 

*THRUST*

 

"Just because my skills are sealed, it doesn't mean my senses have dulled."

 

Jeong said as he duck down, dodging the attack.

 

*SWISH*

 

As he was crouched below the spear shaft. He launches forward, grabs the shaft of the spear with his left hand, and punches the lizard man in the guts, sending it flying into the air.

 

*BANG*

 

*SWOOSH*

 

"Tsk, even with all my strength, I can only send it flying, and it still took zero damage."

 

Jeong said in an annoyed tone while staring at the lizard man he sent flying in the air. when the lizardman began falling back down.

 

"Even if it falls from that height, it will take no damage… damn it, how can I kill these things?"

 

Jeong thought in his mind, as the lizard man continued to fall.

 

"Wait a minute…"

 

Jeong said after realizing something. He walks to the spot the lizard man would land quickly and stabs the wooden end of the spear into the ground.

 

*THRUST*

 

*BAM*

 

"Since any brute force is useless, what would happen when a stick with its pointy end and a falling lizard meet?..."

 

Jeong asked with an evil smile as he takes a few steps back away from the spear.

 

"KIEEEEEKK!!!"

 

The lizard man screeched loudly in fear before falling on the sharp end of the spear.

 

*BANG*

 

*STAB*

 

Even though the tip of the spear was made with a sharpened rock, it was still able to penetrate the mucus protecting the lizard man scales, due to the force of the fall.

 

*RIP* *TEARING SOUND*

 

The spear rips straight through the lizard man's guts and came out from its back. As its blood spills on the spear and into the wet floor and it dies.

 

"KIEEK!?"

 

"KIEEEK!?"

 

After watching the scene as one of their kind died in such a brutal way, the three lizard men behind Jeong felt fear. They realized that their impenetrable defense could no longer protect them.

 

"HA– HAHA– MUHAHAHA."

 

Jeong laughed loudly.

 

 

"KIEEK~!?"

 

The lizard men flinched as they heard Jeong laughing. They could feel that their positions had changed. Before they were the hunters chasing down their prey, but now they have become the prey. After realizing this, they began backing away slowly, but one of the lizard men steps into a puddle of water.

 

*SPLASH*

 

After hearing the sound of water splashing, Jeong turns towards the Lizardmen slowly with his head lowered.

 

"KIEEEEK!!"

 

The lizard men screeched at Jeong as he turned towards them, in a desperate attempt to scare him. But Jeong did not even flinch.

 

"Ha… Where did you think you are going, huh? We can't have a 'SANJEOK' with just one piece of meat now, can we?"

 

Jeong said as he looked up quickly with a crazy look in his eyes.

 

**********************************

 

A FEW HOURS LATER.

 

SOMEWHERE IN THE ZYGERRIAN WETLANDS.

 

After killing the lizardmen in a gruesome manner, Jeong traveled through the wetlands looking for a place to camp before the sun sets. But unfortunately, everywhere he turned was filled with either poisonous monsters and plants or creatures like the lizardmen who have characteristics that make them difficult to kill.

 

*************************

A FEW MINUTES LATER.

 

*COO* *COO* *OWL SOUND*

 

Night came quickly, and darkness covered the entire forest. Jeong is faced with a problem. He had lost one of his primary senses, his sight. As the light coming from the moon is being blocked by the enormous trees.

 

*RUSTLE*

 

"Shit, I can barely see what's in front of me."

 

Jeong complained in an annoyed tone as he walked through the giant thick bushes.

 

"If not for that fucking thing that goes after the flames every time I light a torch, I would know where I am walking?"

 

Jeong complained as he continued walking through the dark forest.

 

*WHOOSH*

 

*RUSTLE*

 

"…!?"

Jeong flinched, as he stopped moving, after noticing a suspicious movement. He glances around quickly, but he could not see a thing due to the darkness. so, he tried listening to any suspicious sounds.

 

"…"

While Jeong was searching for suspicious sounds, above him, was a huge creature with glowing purple eyes, watching Jeong as it hung onto the side of a giant tree.
