(Unlocked chapters 2/3)

[King of the Lizards (3)]

There was no name.

Yet when it emerged from the egg, there was only one being looking down on it.

She was a mother, a queen.

It was an existence born for her, a devotee following her commands.

All beings, including itself, were simply there to serve her holiness.

She commanded.

More nutrients were needed.

It knew what that meant.

Under her, they were a collective before they became individuals.

One and whole.

It was like an instinct.

Without realizing, it organically moved alongside the others, producing nutrients for it.

Slaughtering.

Draining blood.

Boiling water.

Peeling skin.

Dissecting organs.

Completely disassembling.

Preparing nourishment for her required extensive work.

After the disassembly, the real work began.

But compared to the disassembly, the actual work wasnt difficult.

It was just about filtering out the parts that wouldnt become nutrients and selecting the tender parts.

The selected parts were placed on the cutting board.

Striking them with its tail.

Until they became tender enough.

Flipping them and striking the other side.

For it.

Cutting them with its tail. And then mincing them.

The finely minced meat was placed in a cart, and the next part was

Dont expect to die gracefully.

Suddenly, flames burst forth before its eyes.

No, flames engulfed its entire body.

Eeeeeek!

Damn bastards.

The body collapsed.

It couldnt see ahead.

Was the body melting away first, or were the eyeballs sliding out first?

It hurts.

Its hot.

Find the survivors!

Regulus Clan Lord! The adjacent room is the same!

Ah It hurts.

Theres something more important than that.

I need to inform it.

Its dangerous.

Where they are.

Ee-e-eee-k

Cre-ee-e-ak

They heard themselves calling.

They are telling it.

That it is in danger.

Kie-e-e-e

Youre a tough one. Can you stand this much heat?

.

In his heart, he wanted to burn the whole place down.

If Guyeonsu hadnt intervened, he might have set the entire underground on fire.

<Flame Demon>. I understand your feelings, but calm down. Did you forget about the missing people?

Thats what Im doing.

Hyun chul was about to say it with frustration, but he met Guyeonsus narrow eyes.

There was life directed at him.

<Flamde Demon>. The place youre standing in right now is not a place for you to act on your emotions freely. If youre a player representing a nation and a player representing a clan, act accordingly, brat.

Hyun-chul manifested mana within his body. The flames that flowed out of his body covered his entire body.

However, Guyeonsu didnt back down and stared at him intently.

The people who panicked were the players who were searching the scene.

The players from the Regulus Clan and the Blaze Clan were facing each other, poised to engage in battle at any moment.

I apologize.

A clan war could have broken out in the monsters lair at any moment.

Hyun-chul wasnt that stupid. Extinguishing the flame, he took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and bowed his head.

Raise your head, <Flame Demon>.Didnt I tell you? Are you the kind of person who would bow to me?

No, I understand.

What are you doing? Resume the search. Hurry up.

You too.

The two faced each other as if nothing had happened.

The players scattered to different areas of the place.

Hyun chul followed Guyeonsu.

He had done something quite foolish.

They must have noticed it.

As evidence, screams echoed from different places, and the mana waves of the monsters that dominated them were transmitted.

Are you okay?

What?

Im irritated.

Im pissed because I did something wrong.

Pissed off is pissed off.

Hyun-chul rolled his eyes and replied bluntly to Hye-rim, who kept pace with him.

He was well aware of the fact that players with longer careers than him were secretly looking down on him.

Even Guyeonsu did that.

He didnt call himself Blaze Clan Lord.

He didnt add player to his name when referring to him.

Always, with a wry smile, he referred to him as <Flame Demon> .

It was frustrating, but he couldnt help it.

Even if he held one of the Twelve Seats, he knew that he was still lacking in many ways.

Time could only resolve this matter, but he was still angry.

Lets learn together.

What?

You and me. Compared to experienced people like you, were still rookies.

As you said, we learn while getting in trouble, right?

He cancelled the thought that she seemed different from usual.

Hyun chul sighed. Was he acting immature enough for her, who was one year younger, to console him?

He wasnt acting like himself.

Even while passing through the area with the large, dangling, and grotesque bodies, he forced himself to calm his heart.

Someday, he would definitely catch up to them.

He made a determination as he watched Guyeonsu walking ahead.

Did you find it?

Its in that room.

Guyeonsu proceeded towards the area located at the very end of the basement.

The mana waves were intense.

It meant that there was a monster leading the group of Sharp Tails.

It was risky for the three of them to defeat the boss monster.

So, he and Hyun chul called on clan members they encountered on the way to the boss monster.

The telepaths stay outside, ready to come in at any time. Send a message to the outside.

Yes, sir.

Clan Regulus Ain nodded and took a step back from the group.

Hey, navigator, follow me.

Regulus Navigator will also accompany us.

Guyeonsu and Hyunchul agreed on this point.

Lizardmen were originally monsters that formed a cluster.

So, the sight of Sharp Tails forming a cluster wasnt that strange.

But the sight of Sharp Tails in the underground level went beyond being just strange.

It meant that they couldnt determine the leader of the Sharp Tails based on their common sense.

Both of them shared the same thought.

The monster inside that room was undoubtedly an advanced-grade new species.

The Navigator was even more necessary now.

Supporter No, never mind. Park Hye-rim, can you handle it?

Excuse me. I am from the Regulus Clan.

<Flame Demon>. I hope you wont just boss around our clan members.

Whats the big deal? Besides, were short on Supporters, and for the boss battle, we only need one Park Hye-rim, right?

Fine, understood.

Guyeonsu nodded.

Casters and supporters were invaluable.

There were not many Supporters brought to the underground level. With each member taking on crucial roles, there was no need to bring in an additional Supporter when Park Hye-rim could handle her area alone.

Everyone, listen as we walk. Were going to organize a party to slay their king.

<Flame Demon>.Ill be the leader, is that okey?

If you hand over the Dealer to me.

Kang Hyun-chul chuckled.

Guyeonsu laughed along with him. It had been just a few minutes since Kang Hyun-chul had come back to life, and it was fascinating to see him so lively.

It was as if he was trying to burn brightly to make up for the minutes he hadnt burned before. He was now blazing with determination.

<Flame Demon> was on fire.

<Flame Demon> will take the role of the Dealer, Ill be the Sub-Dealer, and Park Hye-rim, youll be the Supporter.

Guyeonsu saw the equipment worn by the people following him and quickly organized the party.

The boss was right in front of them.

They expected it to be waiting for them behind that door.

The mana waves felt from inside the room indicated there was only one boss.

The mana flowing through the door was significantly different from that of the Sharp Tails, showing the bosss extraordinary power.

As soon as we enter, maintain your formation. Park Hye-rim, debuff the boss immediately. The Navigator and I should never leave the Casters and Rangers.

Sharing Amulet

The most sparkling Grit

Haste

Protection

Lightfast Bless

Flame Grace

Each time Park Hye-rim swung her pickaxe, a blue light burst forth.

Players were granted up to 10 buffs.

The Most Sparkling Grit sparkled in their eyes.

Im coming.

As if he had made a promise.

As soon as Guyeonsu pulled the door open, Kang Hyun-chul and Blaze Clans Guardian rushed in.

Clan Lord!

I know!

The Guardian slammed a massive shield made of iron onto the floor.

Shroud of Flame.

A shield of resistance to flame.

The magic the Guardian deployed spread radially from the door.

Burst.

Kang Hyun-chul released the mana in his body.

It was just a manifestation of mana outside his body.

The flames that escaped the curtain circled furiously and surrounded the room.

The flames were instantaneous.

Flames burn endlessly as long as they have oxygen, and if theres something to burn, they gain momentum and catch on to the nearest object.

A chain reaction of flames filled the room.

Livingmans Curse

Be Slow

Lightfase Decline

The Evil Moment

Players were unfazed by the intense heat.

They were already buffed for fire resistance.

They threw themselves into the flames as soon as the shroud disappeared.

Park Hye-rims magic was swift. With one hand, she deployed spells, and with the other, she tapped the floor with her pickaxe to activate the magic.

Dual casting.

It was an arduous technique that involved casting two spells simultaneously.

Navigator!

The only monster in the room was their leader.

Guyeonsu grabbed the Bastard Sword and shouted to the Navigators behind him as he ran after Kang Hyun-chul.

There was no reply from the navigators.

It seemed to take time to analyze.

That was to be expected.

The boss beyond the flames looked like nothing hed ever seen before.

However, what of it?

Lets end this with a strike.

Kang Hyun-chul swung the Bastard Sword with all his might. The flaming blade produced a resonating sound, targeting the bosss shoulder.

The leader, who was crouched, stood up. One of the guys with crossed arms blocked the sword. They didnt flinch or step back despite the fiery scales.

Its tail transformed.

But Kang Hyun-chul could not dodge.

That was what it meant to wield the Bastard Sword at full strength.

If he didnt succeed in his first strike, he would give his opponent room to counterattack.

Hhuh!

Kang Hyun-chul was not surprised by the tail flying in front of his face.

There was no reason to be surprised.

This was a party game, not a solo game.

Nine Dragons Style () Lunar String ()

Guyeon-su made his move. The blade, emanating a dim aura, drew a crescent shape and repelled the tail.

Nine Dragons Style Piercing Strike ()

It did not retreat.

The tail bounced upward and simultaneously charged forward. The extended sword curved back inward, penetrating into the creatures chest.

The mana-filled blade pierced through his armor.

Thud.

Burst.

Hyun-chul, who had steadied himself in the meantime, released his sword and switched places with Guyeon-su, who stepped back.

The blade pierced through the scales and caught fire.

It looked as if it had been pierced by an arrow of flame.

Soon, the flames erupted. A deafening explosion occurred, and the sword stuck in the creature was pulled out due to the recoil, flying away.

A small shield.

Mini Shield.

The Blaze Clan Guardian threw the shield on his shoulder.

At the same time, Park Hye-rims protective magic deployed.

There was no need to evade.

Just swing as it is.

How about that, you lizard bastard?

Leaping the remaining distance, he twisted his body to the maximum.

As his feet touched the ground, he swung his upper body, which had been coiled like a spring, with all his might.

Once again, flames burst forth, and the sound of cracking joints echoed.

It was the sound of the creatures bones breaking.

Ki-e-eek!!

There was an opening.

There was no need to signal.

Bind.

Hye-rim cast a binding spell on the creature,

Visachigi ()

Clan Blazes caster cast a ranged spell while he was immobilized.

A hail of rocks formed from thin air.

They were not alone.

Warriors Barrier

Damage Shield

The guardians of Blaze Clan and Park Hye-rim bestowed protective spells against consecutive shocks upon the frontline players.

Load, Fire

A Wild Shot

Arrow rain

The mid-ranking rangers launched long-range attacks.

Countless arrows and bullets poured down without pattern.

It was a random bombardment.

The protective spells given to Kang Hyun-chul and Guyeonsu were quickly extinguished.

Every time that happened, Park Hye-rim and the guardian protected the two.

The new potions are pretty good.

Hyun-chul and Guyeonsu could retreat to the rear with support from the mid-ranking and rear-ranking players.

The two drank mana-recovery potions taken from their pockets and quickly restored the mana depleted in battle.

Its still alive.

Its tough.

Even though they delivered such attacks, the creature didnt die.

The detected mana waves were still robust.

When the explosions ceased, the creature emerged gradually from the smoke.

Hah, its no joke when you look at it now.

Hyun-chul clicked his tongue. He didnt know as he charged at the creature with the determination to defeat it, but its momentum surviving such attacks was impressive.

Differentiated from Sharp Tail, the Lizardman was covered in jet-black scales, making it gigantic. Just by standing up fully, its head almost reached the ceiling.

Horns protruded from its head, intermittently sparking from the two horns.

Hu-man

The creature could speak human language.

The reptilian pupils focused on them.

Its skin, scorched by flames and melted by heat, began to regenerate. Shedding broken scales and sprouting new ones happened in an instant.

Can it even regenerate on its own?

Hyun-chul furrowed his brow.

The other players had also witnessed his ability and expressed their disbelief.

Navigator. What happened to the analysis?

Guyeonsu, who picked up the fallen sword from the ground, looked at the navigators.

The navigators were facing the boss, who was eyeing them intently.

Both of their pupils were trembling, and they lowered their heads.

This creature is not listed in the database.

Its a new type of monster. For now, all we can say is that its presumed to be a reinforced form of the Sharp Tail.

Rank?

At least 5th rank, possibly up to the maximum 4th rank.

The navigators responded with an uncertain tone.

The players didnt show their emotions on their faces.

However, when they heard the term 4th rank, there wasnt anyone who wasnt disturbed.

Even if they had two members of the Twelve Seats, it would still be a formidable battle.

What the hell. Im the one who killed the Kraken. And now you want to back down?

Kang Hyun-chul let out a sarcastic chuckle, aiming his Bastard Sword at the creature.

At that time, it was thanks to the Miracle that weakened the Kraken, and I applied buffs that made it possible.

Hye-rim wanted to argue back, but she could sense the mood.

There was no point in demoralizing them with a bunch of nonsense.

Those who dont want to die are out. Only those who want to be strong enough to die are left. Well beat them.

Without a moments hesitation, the members of Clan Blaze drew their weapons. Even the Navigators eyes lit up with pride.

Clan Blaze. A group of fools who gathered to fight the strong, to become the strong.

Guyeonsu couldnt help but smile at the sight of the Blaze Clan members moving forward.

<Flame Demon >. We have a chance of winning, right?

We may have a chance of winning. Im only fighting because that bastard is in front of me, isnt that right, you guys!?

Yes!!!

Then follow my instructions. If theres a chance, theres a chance.

Huh?

Guyeonsu called the telepathist who was waiting by the door.

The telepath wagged his raccoon tail, walked over, and listened.

Nodding, the raccoon-like Ain, transmitted telepathic messages to those present.

[Message from Regulus Clans Guyeonsu Clan Lord.

The creature is not in a state to fight properly as it is currently protecting its egg.

We can take advantage of this to defeat it.

This was Navigator Oh Dong-tong of the Regulus Clan].

No! No! Is that a fight?! Regulus Clan Lord, are you still a man after all this?

I am the leader. Who else said you will be the dealer?
