Happy reading!

Lizardman's pov
They were all now pacing back and forth, waiting for Ethan to return.
However, the shock did not escape their faces, remembering the way Ethan carried out this rude action against his two subordinates.
From their point of view, the old ancestral and the giant bear were indeed strong, but who would have thought that they would become like weak animals when in front of their envoys.
Admiration immediately rose in their hearts, imagining how powerful he was.
"As expected of the messenger!" Erd praised, his tone full of excitement.
Even his hands were stretched upwards, as if worshiping a god.
His colleagues just smiled broadly, they also thought the same as him.
"That's right! The apostle is so powerful, he can definitely open the second floor!"
The Lizardman spoke in unison, very excited.
Their hearts were filled with adoration for Ethan, without caring about their own pride.
Suddenly they started to feel something strange, hot.
The surrounding temperature started to heat up as if there was hellfire, unquenchable.
"w-what happened there?!" Erd was surprised to see something shining ahead.
Red, very scary.
There was also a burning fire, fortunately it didn't reach them.
Then something unbelievable happened. Erd, saw the old ancestral and a giant bear appear.
It's just that the two of them flew away, with their bodies already black.
"Huh? Aren't those the envoy's two subordinates?!"
They were very surprised by this, but soon forgot about it seeing the way they were floating.
They were still unconscious, their wounds were still healing.
"Let's embrace them!"
Soon enough, they started to gather in the center right in front of where they were going to land.
Perform marching movements from behind while holding the back of their friend in front.
This was done by everyone at the same time.
Luckily the village head of the Lizardmans did not come, choosing to stay behind.
Because of his old age, he cannot walk far.
Fyush!-
The speed of the Old Ancestral and the giant bear still did not decrease until they finally landed right where the lizardman were.
They were all immediately pushed back, feeling how strong the pressure was.
"heavy."
The Lizardman at the forefront were overwhelmed, they were the ones working the hardest.
Even so, the Lizardman behind him did not remain silent, they tried their best to hold back the bodies of Ethan's two slaves.
Luckily it only lasted a few moments before finally slowing down, showing their cooperation was very good.
Effective!
"huft-"
They all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was over.
Unfortunately not yet, the surrounding temperature continues to rise.
So crazy.
This suddenly made the Lizardmans a little overwhelmed, even though they were aquatic creatures.
"w-what happened there?" one of them asked while wiping the sweat from his head.
But, no one answered his words. They don't know anything anyway.
They could only hope that the messenger was okay or it would have a bad impact on them.
...
Ethan, he was currently surrounded by fireballs, very scary.
Even his skin was emitting a little smoke, luckily it didn't hurt him.
He felt a little hot, not too bad.
Ethan, without wasting any time, immediately extended his sword upwards, preparing to move.
Because his swordsmanship improved, Ethan could see something.
Recalling the movements of the robed man from the holy church, trying to imitate him.
The movements he made were very similar, without any mistakes.
While continuing to stand in the air, he closed his eyelids.
Everything around slowed down, because of his eyes.
He took a deep breath, immediately, he opened it.
His eyes lit up slightly, and something surprising happened.
Ethan, he made similar sword movements to that man.
First he attacks from two sides of the lava, left.
Felt it the most threatening. Then, the one above.
Because that is the closest thing, and the least difficult.
Luckily Ethan's body was very strong otherwise he would definitely burn if he was near the lava.
The sword did not melt, showing its durability.
After all, it was a reward from the system, so it did not rule out the possibility that the material was very resistant.
clang!-
Ethan felt a little overwhelmed, but still pushed through.
Didn't intend to back down or he would be harmed.
He continued slashing, wanting to create an opening for him to escape.
That was the plan, not intending to die.
Yes, even though he believed that he wouldn't die because of his regeneration.
Instantly a wide smile formed on his lips when he saw the gap that almost contained his body.
'okay, let's try it!' he thought to himself, filled with determination.
Even though he was afraid, Ethan held back, not wanting to continue being a loser.
Otherwise, how could he be so powerful? won't!
Step-
Without any further delay, Ethan immediately stepped forward using his jump.
Heading forward, while extending his sword forward.
Actually the front was empty, it's just that Ethan had to be more alert.
Afraid that the lava ball could follow him, didn't want that to happen.
"Grr...!"
The fire lion roared in anger seeing his actions.
Realizing he was going to run away, and immediately lunged at him.
Right now they are floating, using their energy.
Showing level 15 is not something trivial, they are strong.
That is for sure.
Ethan couldn't help but feel shocked, trying to escape their attack.
A hint of worry struck his heart, he didn't know what to do.
The only thing he knew right now was to escape from their attacks, then kill them.
After that, Ethan accelerated his steps, not intending to delay.
In front of him suddenly appeared a ball of lava, coming from one of the crowd of fire lions.
They knew he would continue to move forward. Don't want to waste the opportunity.
Unfortunately Ethan didn't care, he started bleeding piles all over his body.
Covered it, except for the sword part.
He intended to do this at close range, wanting to lessen the impact of the damage to his body.
Before long, something unexpected happened.
Ethan, he immediately cut the lava ball, until the blood all over his body boiled.
Although it doesn't disappear immediately like the previous needles, because of its thickness.
Bam-!
An explosion occurred, slightly smaller.
Even all the lava began to explode, as if responding to the other owner.
Ethan currently still feels a little overwhelmed, fortunately the wound is not too deep.
He managed to survive, escaping their attack without suffering serious injuries.
It's just that his hand melted a little to reveal the bones.
Luckily the regeneration worked well, it immediately returned to normal.
Without having to feel difficult.
Sigh-
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that everything was over.
But he remained alert, aware that the crowd of fire lions was behind him.
Looking at them, the number was still around 14.
"You guys, I will kill you all today." Ethan said coldly as he continued to stare at them with a sharp gaze.
His eyes became sharp like swords, predatory.
Suddenly something strange started happening inside Ethan's body.
The originally weak bright red energy began to change, becoming denser.
'The power of destruction.'
[Ding! You have successfully activated 1% of the goddess of destruction's divinity, providing a small-scale destruction effect.]
The energy Ethan was emitting was starting to become a bit similar to Iris, only it was weaker like a drop of water.
But that was enough for him, making the crowd of fire lions feel threatened.
Seeing something they don't know is scary.
"Gahhh!-"
They all roared loudly, not wanting Ethan to change.
Before they could move, Ethan had disappeared from before them, leaving them confused.
Kept looking for where he was, looking around.
Immediately looking up, he saw Ethan there.
He was now standing, looking at them.
There was a strange feeling that hit his heart, it felt very uncomfortable.
Something like an abomination, how destructive his thoughts were.
But Ethan didn't care, didn't want to think too much about it.
The pressure around him became unreasonable, much stronger than before.
"..."
Ethan endlessly looked at them, before preparing to move forward.
Pointing his sword downwards, as if to provoke them.
With a big smile on his face, he was happy.
Realizing the power of destruction is indeed unreasonable.
Howl-
The crowd of lions started to hesitate a little, but they still went forward.
Have no intention of retreating.
"Gahhh!-"
'What a fool, this way I can kill you guys.' Ethan thought to himself, calmly.
He knew what he had to do now, prepare to launch an attack.
His sword began to be coated with something, crimson energy.
But it didn't hurt him.
Ethan's eyes narrowed slightly, immediately taking a step forward.
Right in front of the lion, without the slightest mercy.
Soon, Ethan started attacking each other.
However, their attacks were easily destroyed, without having to feel pressured.
It was as if the crimson energy was protecting it, no matter whether the creature was emitting fire or not.
Suddenly he saw an opening in one of the crowds.
A fire lion was beneath him, he was alone.
A small grin formed on his lips, ready to do something.
Slash-
Soon, the fire lions began to be brutally killed.
His body disintegrated, becoming a lump of flesh.
Ethan's speed is currently increasing rapidly making it difficult for the lions.
By using the form of a dragon along with the divinity of the goddess of destruction, his entire combat power became unreasonable.
[Gained 400 exp from killing the fire lion, remaining 2,340/2,500 exp to reach level 13.]
"Ah..." Ethan was actually quite surprised at how fast he was.
Even the fire lion did not react, and died like minced meat from the brutal slash.
"Gah..."
The Fire Lions started to become more alert, some of them were scared.
But there are also those who are not afraid, but instead get even angrier.
Ethan just grinned slightly, he was very satisfied with this power.
'Then isn't Iris very strong?' Ethan thought to himself, remembering the pink haired girl in his mind.
Immediately, his whole body shuddered at the thought of how strong that woman was.
'monster...'
But Ethan quickly forgot about it, not wanting to think too much about it.
Iris was his friend, and he had admitted it.
Ethan no longer thought too much about whether the woman was crazy or not, what was certain was that she was the one who had saved him.
Badump-
Ethan's heart beat slightly fast, that strange feeling suddenly appeared again.
For some reason this made him feel a little happy, happy when he remembered it.
When Ethan was lost in his happiness, something hot was felt again. Behind.
Luckily, Ethan reflexively managed to dodge in time, without sustaining serious injuries.
Just a little bruise, and it will heal soon.
