126. 7 VS 500(2)

We set up about 50 meters behind where Lauren and Hawk had first fallen off.

As the lizards surged into the passage, they piled up useless cargo like a barricade, and behind it were Sia, Tanya, and Roy.

Sia was waiting for the healing blessing, while Roy and Tanya were very nervous as they saw that 15 explosive potions and 20 Greek scrolls had been taken out.

And among the three Lauren, Hawk, and Claude, Lauren was in the front line, and Hawk and Claude took turns during the battle to distribute stamina.

And I.

“Hmm.”

Of the 30 scrolls that Carmella gave me, 20 were for Greece, 7 for speed, and 3 for protection.

When I said that 7 people were going in, I think they gave me a speed scroll that matched the number of people.

“Lauren, Hawk, Claude here.”

First, I gave a shield scroll to the three people participating in the battle.

“Use immediately when an emergency occurs.”

“Okay.”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, Cain.”

I turned around and approached Roy and Tanya.

“Be careful not to tear the scroll, as magic will be fired forward when you tear it. If either Claude or Hawk asks for it, give it to him right away.”

“That…yeah.”

“Okay…”

He looked very timid and nervous, but it was admirable how he stood firm.

“Cain…”

“Siaya.”

“You shouldn’t get hurt? No, you have to come even if you get hurt. I’ll fix everything!”

“Okay. I’ll trust you.”

“Cheer up!!”

I went forward after receiving a kiss full of Sia’s encouragement and concern.

“I’m taking five explosion potions, so I’ll use the fifth one right before I get back, so keep that in mind.”

“Yeah.”

I passed by Hawk and Claude, who were silently patting my shoulder, and headed towards the area where lizards were swarming.

The effect of Swift Scroll is to increase the caster’s movement speed by 30% and the duration is 10 minutes.

Chapter 7: You have 70 minutes to herd hundreds of them and lure them into the passage.

“Hoo….”

Crackle-

Phew-!

Thanks to the skill status, my movements were light, and now I feel even lighter.

Check again the items in the multi-purpose pocket on your waist.

Chalbak-

Sling-

I pulled out the dagger from the dagger case, held it in my hand, and moved while concentrating my consciousness on my leg. Although my leg gave out, I did not feel any great inconvenience in moving it.

And it moves slowly.

“Shaek?”

The guy I ran into a little while ago.

He tilts his head again.

Fortunately, the others are still a bit far away, so only one is tilting his head.

I blocked the bastard’s snout and cut off his Adam’s apple with my dagger.

Phew-!!

“…..!!!”

slam!

“Shaeek!!!”

“Keeek!!”

I tried to keep the sound as quiet as possible, but the sound of the fallen man rolling around in the swamp was not small.

Thanks to that, other guys nearby also shouted out that it was good.

Slosh-

Fighting!!!!

I climbed onto the fallen man’s body, kicked my feet, and ran with all my might.

The soggy feeling lingered on my toes and it felt like shit, but I still jumped much higher than I would have if I had jumped in the swamp.

Then I took out an explosive potion and threw it with as much force as I could at the center where they were gathered.

Kwaaang-!!!

“Keeek!!!”

“Shaaaa …

The explosive potion has a killing range of 3 meters, and a loud explosion is heard along with a bright light on one side, and the lizards’ screams echo.

Naturally, the attention of the guys near me was all drawn to the place where the explosion had been heard, and I took advantage of this moment to land on one of the guys’ heads.

thud-!

Choaaaak!!

And then he quickly swung his dagger and started cutting down the guys around him.

The screams of those being slashed by my dagger were quickly drowned out by the loud noise and intense light, and they soon moved again, climbing up the wall.

“It consumes more stamina than I thought.”

Although my mobility wasn’t lost in the swamp, I had to concentrate more, so my stamina consumption was greater than I thought.

I tried to gather their aggro by moving along the outer surface and throwing explosive potions toward the center, and finally detonating the potion in front of the passage to lure them, but so far no dangerous situation has occurred.

And we reached one end of the wall.

“Then, around here, the second….”

WHEEK-!

Kwaaang!!!

“Kueeek!!”

“Keeek!!!”

Perhaps because it has a weakness to fire and flame magic, the effects of explosion potions are quite effective.

And even though I moved carefully, there were now quite a few guys chasing me, so I dispersed the aggro for a moment with an explosion and moved my body in the next direction.

The distance was about 1~2 kilometers… I felt like the scroll’s effect was already running out as I moved while occasionally catching lizards that were out on the outskirts.

Crackle!

Phew-!

“Hoo… Chapter 2.”

When I reached the second peak of the huge area, I threw the third explosion potion.

Shhh!

Kwaaang!!!!

Before the potion could land among the lizards, a giant spear flew in and detonated the potion mid-air.

“What?”

Leader? Even if you say he’s the leader of those who use single spears, the difference in size is…

“Kwaaaa …

“Fuck, Mom.”

Kuu …

My mouth dropped open when I saw the huge thing landing right in front of me.

Although it varies from individual to individual, the height of a lizard is between 160 and 180 cm. Even the leader of such a group would be a little over 2 meters tall, but the one that fell in front of me now looked to be at least 3 meters tall.

It had muscles that twitched menacingly and a skull on its head, and bright yellow eyes that were torn vertically like a snake were glaring at me.

“Fucked…. Are you a champion?”

Champion. A monster that occasionally appears in the labyrinth, but is more powerful than the leader level monster.

Strength is said to be one level higher than the level of the corresponding class.

So the guy in front of me right now is a second-tier leader level monster.

No one knows the principle of why it comes into being.

It’s faster to just repeat that you’re fucked when you meet someone.

“Kwaaah!”

Phuong-

Chaeee!!!

“Oh my, you’re strong.”

I hit the arm of the guy who was punching me with his bare hand, who must have been the owner of the spear that had just been matched with the potion, with my dagger, and a metallic sound was heard.

Are the scales made of steel?

I turned my slightly stiff wrist and checked the bastard’s actions.

Even though it was fucked up, it wasn’t an absurdly hopeless situation because it was on the 1st level and my combined overall status was close to that of a level 4 explorer.

“Kwaang!!!”

After a brief standoff, the bastard stretches out his other arm and aims at me.

Chaeng!!

It was a similar movement to the first extended punch, so I struck it with my dagger leisurely, but the bastard suddenly spun around and struck my side with its tail.

Wheeek-

Phew!!!

“Ouch!!!”

That bastard’s tail is so thick, it looks like a log.

Iron Fist!!

Shit, if only he had the right footing, he’d be a piece of shit…

“Kreuk…”

I swore at the guy whose eyes narrowed as if he was laughing at me, and he came towards me and stamped his foot. I barely managed to avoid it by rolling over.

“Ah… You’re so fucking wet.”

“Keukkeuk….!”

“That’s….!”

He approaches me leisurely, making a sound similar to laughter, as if he thinks he is playing with me.

The guy who had been gliding towards me without making a sound grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up.

A guy who doesn’t attack right away, but instead shakes his body around to show off to the lizards standing around.

Before we knew it, the lizards that had been gathered in the center due to the aggro of the potion were slowly gathering here.

“Fallen.”

Fit!! Fit!! Fit!!

Chohak!!!

Fortunately, the bastard’s palms and wrists weren’t covered in scales, so I quickly cut off all the thick blood vessels on the bastard’s hands with my dagger.

“Kueeek!!”

“Where…!”

Snap-!

A guy who quickly becomes covered in blood after an unexpected attack.

He tried to shake his arms to try to get me off his hands, but as soon as his grip loosened, I jumped onto his shoulders like a loach.

“Kyaaahh …

And then the angry guy swung his good arm at me, and when I saw that, I thrust my dagger forward again.

Shudder-!

The guy who already had one hand cut off by the dagger flinched at the sight of the dagger, so I took advantage of the gaping moment by stepping on the guy’s shoulder, doing a back flip, and throwing the explosive potion with all my might into the guy’s gaping mouth.

Crunch-!

Kwaaang!!!

“Keee!!!”

A guy who instinctively chews the potion that enters his mouth, and at the impact, the potion explodes in his mouth and he lets out a loud scream.

“Fuck. You still don’t lose?”

Landing in the damp swamp, I felt a slight creepiness at the sight of the still-living guy and the look in his eyes that was oozing murderous energy.

“I guess I should kill him first..?”

Running away is impossible. I told Sia I wouldn’t get hurt, so maybe it’s a little too much?

*

“Ugh….ugh….gasp…”

It’s not like the potion didn’t work at all.

The guy’s movements have become a little slower and his reactions have become a little slower.

But the physical pressure of being 3 meters tall and the situation of fighting with my feet stuck in the swamp made my stamina start to drain even faster.

Phew!

visor!!!

“Ugh!”

It’s been over 20 minutes since the lizards came with their weapons, long spears, and started fighting.

The blade grazed my forearm and thigh, and I began to bleed. Because of the reach of the long spear, I didn’t have time to drink the potion I had prepared for emergencies.

“Keeeek!”

Choaaaak-!!

And the fight became even more difficult because of the lizards that swarmed around him and me.

A situation where you are losing additional stamina as you try to evade or counterattack while being stabbed with a single spear from the side if you show an opening.

“What the hell…?”

It was very difficult to figure out what was going on, since I had only used four potions, including the one I had fed to the guy, and had promised to explode five times as promised to my colleagues.

I tried to open another explosive potion and throw it.

But the moment the guy raised his spear, it was surprisingly flawless.

“You’re also a templar, so this is it?”

“Krrrr…..”

“Let’s fight 1 on 1 fairly!”

“Kwaaah!!!”

“You shameless bastard!!!”

Phew!!

After seeing me parry the attack with the dagger, the guy with the spear didn’t make long, sweeping attacks, but instead swung his spear in quick jerks.

Clever kid.

As I became more and more tired, my vision started to blur.

Kwaaang-!!!!

Kwaaang!!!!

Kwaaang!!!!

Three explosions were heard behind him.

“Cain!!!”

“These guys!!!”

“Cain!!!!”

Sigh… I almost lost.
