    127. 7 VS 500(3)

    “Big?”

    As the noise of battle was heard along with a huge explosion, I took advantage of the moment when the bastard turned around to drink a vitality potion and a recovery potion.

    “After…”

    As the wounds and fatigue from the spear’s blade disappeared, the battle situation came into view.

    The lizards that had been gathered around me and the champion had been greatly reduced in number as the aggro was dispersed towards Claude, Hawk, and Lauren due to the explosion, and the champion turned back to me.

    “You lost, you piece of shit.”

    Wheeze-

    “Kwak!!”

    Clang!

    When I throw an empty potion bottle at the guy’s face, the guy who was hit by the explosive potion flinches and covers his face with his hand.

    Sizzle-

    Phew!!

    Fight!!

    Quickly tear off a scroll of speed, then climb up on one of the lizard corpses lying nearby, step on its stepping stones, and jump.

    I don’t know if it was because of the scroll or my technique, but I was able to fly quite high and naturally turn my body halfway in the air until my feet touched the ceiling.

    And after adjusting the direction, I threw the explosive potion at the bastard’s head as if I was stabbing it.

    Kwaaang!!!!

    “Keeek!!!”

    The heat of the explosion rose towards me as well, but I watched the staggering guy and rolled my feet hard against the ceiling, falling onto him.

    The skull helmet he was wearing was shattered by the explosion, and the sight of the man staggering around with one side of his head caved in and covered in blood came into view.

    “Get behind!!!”

    Pfft …

    “Kyaaaa …

    I thrust my dagger into the head of the one who didn’t notice me approaching, screaming in agony, and he lets out a terrible scream.

    Kuung-!!

    And the body falls down.

    “Oh, man. This is so hard!”

    Fatigue was creeping in. I wanted to lie down right away, but I couldn’t ignore my comrades fighting the lizards that had swarmed me like a pack of dogs.

    “Shaeeeek!!”

    There were also lizards coming towards me with spears because of the explosive potion I used on the champion.

    “Let’s go…!”

    I don’t know how much time passed while I was fighting the lizards with my back to the wall.

    I guess I didn’t bring many explosive potions because I didn’t hear any explosions after the initial loud noise.

    And as time passed, the shouts of Lauren, Claude, and Uncle Hawk began to be heard.

    I don’t know how many more I have to catch, seeing as there are still so many of them.

    “Lauren!!! This way!!!!”

    “Cain!!!!”

    “Throw the shield!! Push it away!!!”

    “Okay!!!”

    Click-

    Even amid the commotion between the lizardmen’s screams and our shouts, we could hear the handle being removed from Loren’s shield.

    Even though the shield handle is meaningless if you just detach it or throw it away, I requested that it be made so that I can hold it separately and use it like a knuckle.

    I grabbed a lizard that was clinging to me and grabbed it by the neck, then sat down.

    “Euryaaah!!!”

    Phew!

    Eeeeek!!!!

    BANG!!!

    The shield sinks deep into the wall behind me, accompanied by Lauren’s thunderous shout and the sound of something bursting.

    “Jump!!”

    “Eeee!!!”

    “Let go..let go!!”

    Phew-!!

    “Eww!!”

    Something was flying at me, and upon closer inspection, I saw that it was an old man Hawk. Considering that it had short legs and low mobility…. No, it looked like Lauren had just thrown it without thinking.

    Still, Hawk Ajay flew at a reasonable speed compared to the shield and rolled right in front of me.

    dump!!!

    “Keep going!! That… that damned bitch!!”

    “Where did you get hurt, uncle?”

    “There’s no way you can get through this little tired beggar. You’re a piece of shit… Huh?”

    The old man who was about to laugh at me for my messy appearance, rolling around in the swamp, is speechless when he sees the corpse of the lizard champion lying nearby.

    “Lauren me too!!”

    “No. Run, Leader.”

    “Eww!!”

    And then I saw Lauren and Claude running towards me.

    It’s a bit slow because it’s a swamp, but it’s approaching quickly.

    Claude looks like he’s having a hard time because his armor is so heavy that his feet are sinking in, but Lauren looks like she’s just running on flat ground even though her feet are sinking in.

    “Keeek!”

    Thud-!

    Wood crack!

    Phew!!

    “Kkeek!!”

    The lizards rushed towards Lauren, who was holding a small dagger and a knuckle that was the handle of her shield without a shield, but she avoided the spears by slightly turning her head, and then she turned the lizard’s neck and came at her with a fist in its groin.

    “Together… together!!”

    “Ugh…”

    Eventually, the Girards surround the slowed Claude and he starts fighting, so Lauren sighs and approaches to help.

    Snap-

    “Huh…huh?”

    “You can’t control your strength, so land well. Leader.”

    Phew-!

    “Kkaaah!!”

    thud!!!

    Then he grabs Claude by the collar and lifts him up, throwing him towards us.

    “Ahh…butt…”

    “Hahaha!!! I like that guy who said let’s go with confidence!”

    “That old man has short legs, so Lauren threw it first!”

    “What is it?”

    I looked at the two bickering next to me.

    There appeared to be no penetrating or fatal wounds.

    Boom!! Crunch!! Crunch!!

    “Keaaah!!!”

    “You’re doing well on your own.”

    “That’s not a battle, it’s a massacre?”

    “Ahem…”

    Lauren, holding a dagger but just waving her hand around in an unruly manner, slowly steps back and approaches us, subduing the lizards.

    “Let’s get up. We can’t just deal with Lauren forever.”

    “Okay.”

    “What the heck!”

    Hawk stands up, holding his huge axe, and takes a stance, while Claude stands up, holding his sword like a cane, and aims it at the lizards.

    “Lauren!! Change!”

    “Okay!!”

    Lauren quickly steps back, while Hawk and Claude leap forward.

    He pulls Lauren towards him and compliments her.

    “Thank you for your hard work, Lauren.”

    “Ah…no, Cain.”

    “Here, let’s see… drink this.”

    “Ugh…yeah…”

    I personally fed the potions to Lauren, who fought without even having the presence of mind to take out the vitality potions or defense scrolls on his belt.

    Lauren, her face slightly red, closes her eyes tightly and gulps down the potion I hand her.

    “Puhh…”

    “Are you feeling energetic?”

    “Thank you…!”

    “Recover the shield.”

    “Okay!”

    Quadduk-

    Thud-thud-

    Lauren expertly combines the handles as she grabs the shield embedded in the wall and pulls it out.

    Crunch-!

    “It’s sturdier than I thought. Isn’t it sturdier than the shield I bought last time?”

    “Ma… That’s right. It dies much more easily when hit with a shield. I like this knuckle too.”

    Since it was his first time fighting against such a large number of people with outstanding physical abilities, he had many shallow wounds.

    I saw a small cut on his left ear and unconsciously reached out my hand to wipe away the blood.

    “Heek…!”

    “Oh, sorry.”

    “Ah…nooo…”

    He quickly grabbed her waist, which was about to collapse with a groan.

    “Let’s take a breather and then switch.”

    “Ah…Okay, I get it..”

    As Hawk and Claude’s movements started to slow down while they were fighting so hard, Lauren and I took turns with them.

    By leading them to the corner wall and focusing on killing them in only two directions, and building up a fort by gradually piling up corpses, it seemed like we could easily overcome them if we just solved the stamina issue.

    “Don’t you have any more explosion potions?”

    “I brought two, but there’s one left! Should I throw it?”

    “Let’s tear off the Aldan Defense Scroll and throw it all at once!”

    Lauren, standing at the very front, tore the scroll and created a defensive barrier.

    And the rest of the people except me each threw explosive potions far away in different directions before the shield broke.

    Kwaaang!!!

    Kwaaang!!!

    Kwaaang!!!

    With a loud explosion, the lizards’ flesh flies everywhere and their bodies fly around.

    “I think there are about 100 left?”

    “Let’s try a little harder!”

    “Yaaap!!”

    “Lower pressure!!”

    As the end of the bastards gradually became visible, all four of them participated in the battle instead of taking turns in catching them two at a time.

    “97…98…99…100!!! Hahahahaha Cain. I caught a hundred!!!”

    “Oh.”

    Claude, soaking wet with lizard’s blue blood to the point where his blond hair is no longer visible, grins and shows off to me.

    Then Lauren blurts out a word to Claude.

    “Leader, that’s great. But I caught 120.”

    “Uh…uh…”

    “Hahaha!!”

    Mr. Hawk bursts into laughter at the absurdity of their conversation.

    The tough battle continued.

    and.

    “Haa….Ugh….I’m dying….Lauren. I have 120”

    “135.”

    “Oh my, maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but my back…”

    Crunch!

    Crunch!

    After finally catching all the lizards, everyone collapsed on the ground.

    “I have to go back even if I have to recover the magic stone later….”

    “Ugh… My body feels sore…”

    “Ugh… Cain seems a little tired.”

    “Oh my….”

    Even Lauren, who has insane physical abilities, said it was difficult.

    “Just a little bit… Let’s rest a little bit more and then go back.”

    Eventually, everyone groaned and rested a little longer before dragging their tired bodies along, arm in arm, and moving down the passage.

    A story I heard from Claude on the way back.

    At first, they thought everything was going according to plan, but when they suddenly heard explosions going off one after another and the champion’s cries, they felt something was wrong.

    So, even though they were running late, they fought quite a bit with the lizards.

    “Waaaahhh Cain!!!”

    “shi…shia?”

    “Waaa …

    The moment we returned to the passage and approached the rest of the group, there was a funny but absurd incident where Roy was so shocked by the sight of us covered in blue blood that he tore up the Greek order form and everyone rolled around on the floor.

    And when Sia saw us like that, she burst into tears and came running.

    While I was calming down Sia, who was crying and clinging to me with tears and a runny nose, Tanya and Roy took the time to hand over the necessary items to the other colleagues and do some maintenance.

    “Are you okay? Are you okay?”

    “Yeah, that’s okay.”

    “Thank goodness…!”

    After Sia saw the minor wounds on my body and the other combatants’ bodies and used her healing power to completely heal them, we finally relaxed and collapsed as if we had fainted and fallen asleep.
