Chapter 458: Enemies Gathering!
Countless lizards shook…
They simply couldn’t take their eyes off the screen!
This turn of events was WAY crazier than anything they had ever seen from a Lizardgeddon! Even now, they were replaying it in their heads as they mumbled in shock.
“All those corpses, all to intimidate?!”
“The 12th Legion’s insane! Who does that?!”
“No, it’s not the 12th Legion at all, it’s HIM!”
Their eyes were transfixed on a certain white lizard. He was to blame for it all: their weak stomachs, their blown minds, and the unease they were feeling at this moment.
But that’s when it all changed:
“Apples, was it? I want pumpkins….” As he whispered with longing, many couldn’t help but stare, their hearts fluttering. How could there be so much longing in one’s gaze?!
Yet, not all were like this, a few violently grinding their teeth. This was a sham! This bastard had played them all, and now he was definitely playing the audience, too!
They knew the truth: he was an Arcane Lizard!
It hadn’t been confirmed, but how else could he be so devious? A proper Lizardman wouldn’t ever act like he had! Thus, they found themselves wishing him death!
Luckily for them, there was hope…

“Are you sure it’s the right place?”
“YES, Sir! We fought the 11th Legion here, and yet it’s been eaten clean?! What creature do you think did this, Sir? What should we do?”
“Creature? It’s too clean. No gouge in the ground, no claw marks, some Legion literally stole our dead! But not just ours…”
“Sir, you don’t really mean to?!”
“For now, follow the blood.”

“Brethren, what are we?”
“Eternal! Eternal! Eter— Goddammit!”
“Another fucking one?! I mean, show them our might!”
At this moment, a certain Legion who had spent all their energy to build themselves a fortress were about to go crazy. What kind of bullshit was this?!
They had crushed the first wave of monsters. They had crushed the second wave of monsters. They had even crushed the 35th wave of monsters!
Yet, at this moment, their spirits were clearly lowering by the minute. What was up with this shitty Lizardgeddon?! People kept bringing monsters to their front door!
Every time they wanted to twist their necks, but they’d leave as if farts in the wind, uncatchable! And before long…
“Brethren, what are we?”
“Eternal. Sob sob. We’re eternal.”
They sure were eternal… eternally tired, that was! But most importantly, they were so done with this bullshit. They just wanted to go back to their respective Shamans and cry.
But that’s when it happened: “Leader, I don’t think I can take this anymore. PLEASE let us chase after those bastards! I know we’re ’eternal’ and all but can we—”
“You know what? FUCK THIS! Who are we brethren? We’re eternally gonna kill those motherfucking bastards! From now on, we’re eternally vengeful!”
As their leader snapped, so did the rest of the Legion. They weren’t about to miss that fun! And as the 36th wave arrived, they went on a full-on assault, slaughtering the monsters!
As for the cowardly lizard that had brought it to their door? Captured!
“Bastard, what dastardly Legion are you from?!”
“I-I’ll tell you! Just spare me, please!!!!”
“Fine, I don’t care! Just speak!!!”
Stared at by hundreds of incensed lizards, the poor scout quickly gave everything up! His Legion, their base location, even the trick used to bait the monsters!
And that’s when a bunch of lizards turned ecstatic as they grinned.
“Hehe, how about we pay them a visit?”
“Should we bring monsters too?!”
“12th Legion, just you wait!”

“Hehe, such a nice hunt!”
“Hehe, they actually took the bait!”
“Hehe, now we just follow behind them!”
A certain hunting group was having the time of their lives. They who had been played for fools by Jack, yet hadn’t dared to attack him, had successfully schemed!
The recent attacks on the 9th fortress were all their doing! Their victims had probably been the most “peaceful” Legion, but now they wouldn’t stop before Jack was dead!
The lead hunter especially couldn’t help but cackle.
“White lizard, you better not disappoint me…”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
As a bunch of Legions all changed course to head toward the 12th Legion, antagonistic shamans cheered. YES! This was what they had hoped for!
In no world would this bastard stand a chance!
“Hehe, the Arcane Lizard’s screwed!”
“Yep! He’ll be skewered alive!”
“Is this really enough?”
A shaman suddenly remarked, his face showing a mask of worry. After all, that bastard was slippery! What if once again, he pulled a crazy stratagem out of his scaly ass?
Wouldn’t it be too late, then? But just as he was about to forcefully repress his worries, another shaman by the side solemnly nodded. “You’re right, can’t leave it to chance!”
After all, even now, the 11th Legion and the 4th Legion were about to kill one another! What if he somehow turned the other Legions against each others too?!
“This bastard’s trickery knows no bounds…” Then he gave a crazed smile, one tinted with madness and sorrow. “No matter what, I won’t allow an Arcane Lizard to live!”
He growled, many sighing in understanding.
Old Scale Kardan had lost it all to an Arcane lizard. His wife, his family, his authority, and his power. And from that loss came resolve as he suddenly grasped a weird glowing scale.
“You?! Don’t tell me you’re gonna—”
“Shh, brother. I know what will happen to me….”
But he didn’t care! No matter what happened, he wouldn’t regret it! This spell would be blasphemy against the event and Scaly, but as long as it screwed that monster!
With a powerful wave of his hand, it happened! The weird scale in his hand glowed, and then… a screen similar to the one of the event appeared?! Except this one had sound?!
As for what appeared on it…
Even now, there was a Legion that hadn’t done much. They had built their base, they had organized scouts, but overall they had barely left their initial spawn zone.
Many kept throwing odd looks at their leader: even now he was meditating?! But for every weird look, there were two that showed great confidence.
“Eh, brothers, what exactly are we waiting for?”
“Hehe, we’re waiting for him to get a sign.”
“A sign? Like from Scaly or something?”
All that answered the poor lizard was silence. But just as he was about to ask another question, IT happened! A screen suddenly appeared, showing a screaming shaman!
“Listen, and listen well! The state of the Lizardgeddon’s like this! The 12 bases are all scattered like this. But most importantly, KILL the 12th Legion! No matter what, you have to do it! Stop the 11th and 4th, then rally the Legions for they’re—”
But just as the Shaman wanted to say more, he was interrupted by the 7th Legion leader, the latter radiating righteous fury! “Are you trying to cheat?! SCRAM!”
He huffed and puffed, cursing the shaman to no end, even as guards apprehended the man for messing with the event! Yet, a second later, the leader gave his troops a sly grin.
“Now, I have a good feeling about the East. Let’s go there!”
How shameless! Was he using the shaman’s info?! This was clearly cheating! At the same time, a certain High Priest responsible for the event had a fool of a shaman dragged to him.
Chuckling, he simply asked:
“Was it worth it?”
There wasn’t any hesitation in the lizard’s eyes. Yes, bloody yes, a thousand times yes! As long as he could take an Arcane Lizard down with him, he didn’t mind!
How many times had he fantasized about going back in time and slaughtering that abomination that had lost him his family? At least he’d die doing good!
“I see…”
With that, the prisoner’s head fell.
There wasn’t any motion; just the High Priest’s will was enough. Yet, as he gazed at his victim, he didn’t show any anger at all. No, it was something else.
“Scaly’s plan is perfect, yet you dared question it….”
That was a crime that deserved death, and yet a cold light still appeared in his eyes, this time aimed at the screen. An Arcane Lizard, was it? That, too, deserved death!
No matter what Scaly had planned, IF that youngster truly was one, then it wouldn’t be too late to kill him as soon as he came out. Luckily, he wouldn’t need to act at this rate.
With the seventh Legion exposing the 12th Legion’s trickery…
“My Lord, should we apprehend the 7th Legion Leader?” A few restless guards asked, dark clouds floating on their faces as they pictured all the trouble this would cause.
“No, let him be. No need to stop the event…”
He would wait. Even now, he remembered how that freak had looked at him back in the arena. Hehe, if anything, it would be retribution for his arrogance!
After all, he didn’t have Scaly’s blessing anymore…
’Hehe, let me see you get devoured whole!’
With cold happiness in his eyes, he watched the 12th Legion’s base get surrounded by many new enemies, the white lizard still alone even now!
Oh, this would no doubt be a one-sided fight!
As for who the victim would be.
That much was obvious…
