BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45 - Boss Battle! Against The Lizardman King!
-----
"GRAAAKKAHH…!"
A large, two-meters tall Lizardman wearing leather clothes and wielding a long wooden staff with a skull on top roared, conjuring a spell and forming a magic circle in the process!
Flash!
Suddenly, a large amount of green smoke emerged from the magic circle, reaching Jon!
"That\'s… poison? Hm, it doesn\'t smell as bad as I imagined…" thought Jon, completely unaffected by the poisonous smokescreen!
"Gakkahhh…!" cried the Lizardman Shaman, completely surprised by Jon\'s resistance over poison!
"Because I am a Dhampir, as long as I am well-nourished with blood, my resistance against things such as poison is increased… I can barely feel my health slowly dimming… Well, Evil Eye," thought Jon, as he activated his Evil Eye, glaring at the Lizardman Shaman and instantly draining its life force!
"GRRAKAKKH…!"
The Lizardman Shaman cried in agony, as its strength slowly dissipated and it fell into the ground, its life was completely drained out, and it slowly became as dry as a mummy!
Jon felt like his health was back at full now, his new ability was incredible.
However, because it wasn\'t of an immediate effect, other Lizardman could take advantage of his low attribute values and lack of agility to strike him from behind!
"Grakakakah!"
"Groooaakkah!"
Two Lizardmen Spearmen emerged before Jon, raising their spears coated in deadly poison as Jon was not able to drain their life completely before their spears reached his flesh!
However, a dark figure emerged from the shadows of the jungle, Adamantine roared like a beast, her entire body coated in darkness, as she used her shadows and shaped them as claws over her hands!
"GRRRAAAAAAH…!"
SLASH!
SLASH!
The two Lizardmen Spearmen were sliced in half on an instant, as Adamantine feasted in the streams of blood that emerged from their bodies before fully dissipating into black smoke!
"Thanks…" said Jon.
"Friend… Protect…" said Adamantine, her mind was broken now, and it had now been reformed into a very young one, however, she saw anyone with the same \'scent\' as her master and mistress as friends she needed to protect, and because Jon was bad at fighting other than using his Clairvoyance and Evil Eye, most of the time, she was protecting his back.
"Let\'s fight… together…" said Jon rather shyly, as Adamantine nodded innocently and the two joined forces, Adamantine serving as a defender and fast physical attacker, while Jon weakened the Lizardmen that rushed towards them and drained their life force with ease.
Like this, the unlikely pair broke through dozens of Lizardmen, annihilating an entire battalion by themselves!
A path of blood and cores was the only thing left, as Jon began to slowly learn how to use Lesser Blood Manipulation, managing to generate his first Blood Sphere, where he stored Blood for later consumption or use.
Meanwhile, Iris roamed the battlefield alone, using her Blood Sphere and shaping the blood inside into Blood Needles, targeting the Lizardmen\'s eyes or snouts, while she used her long and poisonous nails to slice through their necks or stomachs!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
"Grrryyakkhh…!"
"Grruuuooohkkha…!"
"Grrakakahh…!"
"Fufu, it has never been this easy before! I have really grown a lot these last days!" she laughed, coated in her Rage Mode crimson aura and her Demonic Phantom Fox dark blue phantasmagoric aura, her fox tails grew larger as more slowly began to emerge, the more time she spent using this power, the stronger would be the buff, but the more insane she would become!
However, for someone who had already embraced insanity, she was not at all that affected, and even enjoyed such a feeling of exhilaration and bloodshed!
Several arrows, spears, and swords reached for her, as she evaded them with incredible agility while using her Blood Needles to attack her enemy\'s blind spots, slicing them into pieces not long after!
She roamed the battlefield and annihilated her weak prey, the Lizardman had no choice but to fall into despair, their kin was being slaughtered as if it were child\'s play for these invaders!
Quickly, Noah reached the leaders, three large Lizardman Leader Warriors, and a larger one, a four-meter tall Lizardman King Shaman!
"So we already got into the leader\'s territory!" said Noah, as Iris, Timassa, Jon, Adamantine, and Sakura reached his side not long after!
"Measly humans… Have you come to annihilate our kin as you always do? Burn to ashes!"
The Lizardman King Shaman glanced at Noah from its bone throne, which was being carried by a dozen of Lizardman Warriors, as it began to conjure several spells at the same time, magic circles emerging out of thin air!
Suddenly, a rain of blazing rocks emerged from the sky, falling over Noah\'s party!
"That\'s… meteor shower!" said Arthur from the backlines, as he decided to leave what he and Big Sis were doing, rushing to assist Noah and his party!
"Evade!" roared Noah, as his group dissipated while moving swiftly through the jungle, evading the large yet slow-falling meteors.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The meteors, which were the size of a car each, fell over the jungle and detonated into blazing explosions, burning through the vegetation, and turning it all into ashes!
"Jon, Adamantine, Timassa, take care of the Lizardman Warriors and Leaders defending the King! Iris, come with me!" roared Noah, as his party nodded without a shred of doubt over their leader\'s tactics, getting back together once more and darting towards the Lizardmen Leader who greeted them with roars of war and enormous weapon attacks!
"GRRAAAKAKAKAH!"
One of the Lizardman leaders roared loudly as if laughing, rushing towards the party that decided to confront them, raising its gigantic axe and quickly making it fall over them, the weapon\'s weight alone could easily crush them without any effort!
"GRROOOOOAAAHHH…!"
However, Adamantine enhanced her entire body with her Dark Aura, clashing towards the axe with all of her strength, her giant Dark Claws cracked the axe with enormous strength, breaking it apart into fragments, as the Lizardman Leader Warrior was left in shock!
"Good work…" said Jon, as he glanced at the Lizardman Leader from nearby using his Evil Eye, and enhancing its effectiveness with more Mana poured into it, and then, he released several Blood Knives crafted through his Lesser Blood Manipulation!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The Blood Knives penetrated the Lizardman Leader\'s flesh, as the evil eye effect drained his life away!
"Aaaaaaand now…!"
Sakura ran by pushing the limits of her entire body, raising her blade, she released a wave of slashing attacks over the Lizardman, disrupting its counterattack!
"Dark Thunder Arrow!"
Timassa quickly came to finish off the creature, electrifying it with her powerful dark thunder, frying it alive on the spot!
"GRRAAAKKHH…!"
Boom!
Turning into black smoke, the trio had no time to rest, as they quickly moved towards the next target, who was charging directly at them!
However, as they rushed towards it, another two more Lizardman Leaders emerged from their backs, raising their large hammers and spears!
"Waves of Erosion!" roared Arthur, as he attacked the two Lizardman Leaders with a powerful wave of erosive poison, breaking through their flesh and making their scales melt away!
"GRRRYAAAKKH…!"
"Begone!" roared Big Sis, as she used her gigantic drills to break through the Lizardman\'s flesh, crushing their legs and then blowing off their giant heads with her Light Bullets, covering herself on blood!
Boom!
The Lizardman Leaders turned into black smoke in an instant, as the other group managed to get rid of the ones they were targeting in time!
Meanwhile, Noah and Iris rushed through the battlefield, evading the magic barrage of the Lizardman King Shaman!
