Chapter 420: Blaze It!
Lizzy erupted on the stage…
Quick! She had to hurry the hell up!
On the Hatching Day, shamans had one job and one job only: to hatch the perfect warriors! Pick the egg, doze it in Soul Nectar, and breathe life into it!
And before the process was complete, it was ANYTHING GOES!
Lizzy had merely placed a foot on the stage when an acid volley flew straight at her face. Hell, this wasn’t even her pursuers that were closing in, but some stray shots!
“Trying to stop me?! KNOW YOUR PLACE!”
She didn’t even avoid dodging, her face instantly melting. Scales sizzled, flesh turned necrotic, and even her blood evaporated, but she barely winced even then.
And that’s when her power activated. Lizzy of the Regen family, one with the bloodline to avoid death! As her flesh regenerated, she went on the assault instead.
She sent a swirling soul-like tornado wave, one that hit a random shaman, wiping his memories and soul alike in one breath! As the lizard’s body fell lifeless, many gasped.
“Careful! This one’s the real deal!”
“Stop her, or she’ll monopolize all the eggs!”
“Blast this bitch till she’s a limbless whore!”
And blast they did. As a bunch of attacks befell Lizzy, she used her slender frame to protect the vial in her embrace as if it were her child. But even then, she paid the price for it.
Her chest got riddled with holes.
Her lungs got filled with fiery rain.
Her right arm even got torn right off.
That’s when despair assaulted her. What was she supposed to do against that?! Assassins in the back and countless enemies in the front. She couldn’t even afford to stall, either.
What kind of impossible situation was this?! But just as she went insane, a certain Demon King in a bottle trembled slightly: “What’s the big deal? Just shock them into submission!”
And the more he whispered, the stranger her face became, the despair soon replaced by a grin so savage it gave many shamans pause. T-This girl, what was up with her?!
What was up? THIS!
She dashed to a nearby shaman!
“Congrats, you ripped my arm! Here’s your reward!”
Before the poor lizard could even react, she… shoved her arm stump deep in there, utter confusion filling the battlefield. What kind of weird kinky play was this?!
That’s when she showed them her peerlessly white fangs…
“Hello everyone, I’m Lizzy, Lizzy Regen! Hehe, let’s have FUN!” And at the same time she activated her regenerative powers. Her arm regrew, the bone expanding rapidly.
— GROW! GROW! BURST! —
A brand new, shiny, scaly arm appeared!
It burst through a certain lizard’s head, making its brain explode all over after being penetrated from the inside. W-What the actual fuck?!
The shamans were used to death.
Every Hatching would be violent and bloody.
Yet, this shit was next level! This image was so goddamn disgusting!
And while their maws hung in shock, their eyes almost popped out as they saw all the damage they had done earlier disappearing as if snow up hookers’ noses.
But more importantly….
That smile, that damn smile! She happily glanced at them all, eagerly awaiting the next challenger. What would come next? A foot in one’s ass? Fangs on their throats?
GULP! They all gulped, yet all resumed attacking!
Ah, except this time, they didn’t bloody dare to attack Lizzy anymore. This girl was a scaled-grade bad bitch! And with this, she was free to rush forward once more.
Finally, an egg pile as before her…
Eggs, eggs, eggs, so many eggs, all of different shapes and forms. Red, blue, green, purple, the color didn’t bloody matter. What was important was—
“Pick the purple one.”
Lizzy froze, purple one?!
She didn’t know why, but she didn’t have the time to hesitate anymore. She hurriedly grabbed it, pouring the content of the vial she was carrying straight on it!
With this, the Hatching process was initiated!
As long as this succeeded, she would turn from Shaman to Hatcher and the bastards in the back wouldn’t be able to kill her in the short term!
But just as she anxiously watched the pure white liquid merge into the egg, a nearby shaman used a detection spell that she definitely SHOULD have used!
It glowed over all the nearby eggs and…
Hatching Speed ★☆☆☆☆
Mana Contained ★☆☆☆☆
Overall Potential ★☆☆☆☆
“What?! It can’t be?! One out of five on everything?!”
Lizzy coughed a torrent of blood in shock. This was the worst egg of the batch! It was so goddamn weak that it would most likely be stillborn rather than hatched! She was fucking doomed?!
But just as she was panicking, she suddenly calmed down. The Demon King had his reasons right, right?! And as she sent her spirit in, the answer she got was: “It’s purple; I like purple.”
T-That was it?! He had made his decision entirely based on the goddamn color?! He had to be trolling her, right? Yet, she had the feeling he was being entirely truthful.
In fact, Jack now had a BIG issue…
[Successfully Picked the Worst Egg!]
[Required Hatching Time = Eight Hours!]
[Please Nurture the Lizard Embryo Prop—]
With a mere thought, Jack utterly annihilated the poor critter. The thing had happily reached out expecting nutrients, only to be destroyed into oblivion by a Demon King.
But none of it mattered right now. The issue was the Hatching time. Eight hours was way too long, and it would be impossible for Lizzy to hang out that long for sure. Outside, she was struggling:
“Hehe, Lizard Girl, you scared us there, reaching the eggs and all. But you fucked up so bad, picked a shitty one. By the time it’s done hatching, you’ll be long dead. Even you won’t be able to regenerate so much damage!”
Her mentor’s old rival cackled evilly but wasn’t just monologuing either. As he stated her imminent demise, he kept blasting her with spells, her scales and flesh flying everywhere.
And as it kept going, she got more and more cornered. She didn’t even have the time to counterattack, all her energy spent on avoiding getting immobilized.
Immobilized? GAME OVER!
They’d spawn kill her until even her godly regen couldn’t keep up. This was their victory entirely. There was absolutely nothing she could do either.
No, there was one thing left: RUN!
She could abandon ship and say screw it all. Her mentor would die, she would be forever disgraced, and her family would eventually fall, but she would live.
It would have been so easy, and yet she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Instead of crumpling, she did worse and turned insane.
“If I’m screwed either way…. DIE!”
She disregarded defense and all future entirely as she went on the attack! As her claws severed a head and her soul attack extinguished three more, she felt fleeting happiness.
Yet it all came crashing down. All her limbs got severed, her tongue charred, and an old shaman towered over her body victoriously.
“Hehe, it’s the end… GOODBYE!”
He cackled as he did the killing move… or tried?! At the very last second, Lizzy’s body started glowing red like the blood energy over the eggs?!
[Ding! Status Successfully Updated!]
[Shaman → Hatcher!]
“WHAT?!”
So fast, how?! But then they understood.
Out of the purple egg, the most deformed and tiniest youngling lizard was crawling its way out. This thing was more premature than most MeTubers’ first rap album!
Could this thing even be called alive? It was struggling to breathe, couldn’t walk for shit, and a single push would definitely make it lose its life. But it was still a newborn!
Even Lizzy couldn’t believe her eyes at that moment…
“I’m a Hatcher now?! Hehehehehe!”
But the relief that washed over her was VERY short-lived. As her body regenerated, the enemy shaman didn’t lose a single second, picked the best eggs, and hatched theirs, too!
And Lizzy could only watch helplessly. If she attacked them, she would lose her protection against them! And before one could say, “fuckthisshitissounfair” they were done.
A sea of newborns, all with very encouraging parents.
“Go on, take a step! You can do it!”
“Wave those claws of yours, just like that!”
“See that little bastard over there? Go eat it!”
They all directed their newborns toward Lizzy’s own! The only thing she could do was throw a pleading gaze toward the lizard in charge, Tan’Hos, but he only snorted.
A weak abomination like that? It deserved to be eaten!
And with this, it was over for Lizzy & JACK!
The system made the severity clear…
[Current Body Too Weak!]
[You Cannot Move!]
[Death INCOM—]
“Ssssss….”
Speaking was too hard.
He needed a catalyst. Blood would do… or this?!
What were the odds?! Not too far from his position, there just happened to be a lizard man guard. But it wasn’t the man that Jack noticed, but the scale he was carrying?!
W-wasn’t this a dragon scale?! It seemed to call out to him, probably because they had come through the same summoning portal! That’s when he sent his Mana over.
At the same time, the world went dark, a sea of newborns collapsing on him. Their claws and fangs weer tiny, but they would still tear him to shred! Or not…
[Ding! Successfully Re-Obtained Fire Manipulation!]
[Brought a Flamethrower to a Lizard Daycare!]
[H-Host… Please Show Some Mercy!]
“Don’t think I will…”
Jack turned it all to HELL!
The inferno raged, newborns turned to ashes, and shamans watched petrified. At first, there was anger and confusion. “Who the hell did that?! SHOW YOURSELF!”
But then the smoke cleared out, revealing a certain newborn who still had trouble breathing, yet had a tiny flame on its claw while it choked AND cackled?!
But then it got worse as it glared at them and went:
“420 Blaze it, hehehehe!”
What the fuck…
