Chapter 438: Miracle My Ass!
Jack was happily whistling…
[Ding! Top 10 Infinite Betrayal!]
[Thrown Your Students to Behemoths!]
[They Won’t Ever Emotionally Recover From This!]
“Naw, I’m sure they’ll definitely maybe be fine.”
As Jack left despairing Newborns behind, even the system couldn’t help but chime its comment. What kind of bastard would do something like this?!
He had trained them
He had given them hope
He had left them there to die!
Even now, the poor Newborns were struggling to survive atop the Fiery Behemoth’s back. They kept avoiding the fire geysers while failing to cause any damage themselves.
As for getting off, that wasn’t an option. The creature kept spawning Earthquakes as it rampaged! They could only stare in despair as Jack’s silhouette was disappearing.
“Noooo! Please come back!”
“We’ll listen to you. Don’t go!”
“We’ll keep stabbing, so please!”
Even now, they still remembered his words. ’Keep stabbing or you’ll regret it.’ At this moment, they kept their claws busy, attacking relentlessly, hoping he’d actually come back.
Yet, Jack did not once glance back. He was akin to a father going to ’buy milk’, never to see his children again. His whistling never stopped either.
Seeing him go, a couple faltered to their knees.
But even grieving wasn’t an option.
After all, there was a BIG issue!
“Ah?! There’s more fire when we stop attacking?!”
Their stabs may have been pretty useless, but they still registered as attacks! In reaction, the magic protecting the creature would passively move to block them all!
More attacks triggered → More energy spent on defense → Less fiery geysers exploding all over → It was a vicious circle where they couldn’t stop even with Jack out of the picture!
With this, the Newborns finally understood their predicament.
“T-This, don’t tell me we’re all gonna die here?!”
“I don’t want to. Mister Fire Turtle, mercy!”
“What would HE do in our place?”
They hurriedly racked their brains. What would that crazy lizard do in their shoes?! That’s when a couple of them finally devised the greatest plan ever!
They shared a resolute look, and then…. JUMPED!
Newborns fell to the ground, magical aftershocks already upon them! But they wouldn’t go down that easily either! They valiantly spammed all their abilities in a wonderful display:
Slash! Claw! Bite! They went all out! Under their combined might, the magical wave… still shredded them. All it took was a second and they were turned into a bloody mess!
Weak physical attacks like those couldn’t do shit against magic!
GULP! Weren’t those deaths a little too fast?!
That’s when the remaining Newborns fell into a very hectic depression. They kept attacking the creature’s shell to stop its passive auto-retaliation, but they were still stuck!
Many suddenly felt like lying down and dying. But amidst their despair, they found the strength to pray even as they kept attacking.
“Mighty Scaly, please save us!”
“All of us Newborns believe in you!”
“Please send Mister Instructor to our rescue!”
….
They earnestly begged, so earnestly in fact that a miracle actually happened! A green glow suddenly engulfed their bodies, an ancient energy spreading in the area!
And under their shell-shocked eyes, a miracle really happened!
[Ding! Successfully Learned Skill: Mass Prayer!]
[Out of Desperation Comes True Piety!]
[Congratulations! Summoning Help!]
Since the miracle was brought upon by their prayers, even they could see the translucent wording in the air. At this moment, their hearts started beating with HOPE!
The green energy suddenly took the form of a flying gecko, the latter energetically flying away! With this, they would be saved, right?!
They watched it leave, full of hope.
They patiently waited for its glorious return.
They happily received it back after who knows how long.
[Ding! Successfully Found Reinforcements!]
[Playing Savior’s Recorded Message!]
[Please Listen Carefully!]
….
A voice escaped the gecko.
But as it did, their scales suddenly started trembling. The voice from the recording was one that they knew FAR too well! In fact, it went: “Hahaha, keep stabbing or you’re screwed!”
How could it be?! The miracle gecko had gone to Jack for help?! This was akin to calling the police to complain about police brutality: it was so freaking dumb!
And it was at that very moment that many lost faith in Scaly.
What was the point of praying to their god for… this?!
This was definitely a top 5 Infinite Betrayal.
Yet, even after this blow, they returned to their senses. He had only sent one thing, and it was to keep stabbing, so that’s what they would do. It was their only choice anyway.
Just like that, time seemed to go even faster as they lost themselves in the non-stop stabbing. Hell, they were getting VERY proficient at it too!
They probably did more stabbing in a minute than a professional porn star in an hour! And it showed as the creature underneath them kept howling while they ravaged it.

By now, the behemoth was going insane.
It kept writhing in agony as the lizards kept tickling it. What kind of strategy was this?! No matter what it tried, they wouldn’t come off, and neither would they do damage.
Tickling, more tickling, and even some more tickling!
The poor creature finally had enough!
It would either kill them or it would die! But just as it had finally resolved to suicide with them, a loud cry suddenly resounded, one that it would recognize anywhere.
This was a fellow behemoth?! But why did it sound like it was getting slaughtered alive?! And why were the cries getting louder and louder? Hell, even the ground was quaking.
But soon HE appeared in all its evilness.
The DEVIL was back!
Jack had returned, riding a fiery creature. Actually, he wasn’t just riding it, it almost seemed like he had managed to tame it?! After all, wherever he pointed, it would move.
But none of that mattered for the initial behemoth. As soon as the irksome human appeared, the creature instantly locked on him: this bastard had to die!
He was the one that had caused this all! The weaklings on its poor back were all the bastard’s minions. As long as this guy lived, it would never be at peace!
Who knew if the crazy guy wouldn’t send his army to tickle it again? No, at this moment it had to kill him! The creature saw red and threw caution away as it instantly charged forward!
This wasn’t just a regular charge, this was a cataclysm waiting to happen! And as Jack sensed the killing intent, even he couldn’t help but freeze. Wasn’t this too intense?!
According to the system, he was royally screwed!
