Chapter 460: Playtime Gone Wrong!
Chapter 460: Playtime Gone Wrong!
Countless felt sick…
“Good thing I planned accordingly!”
Jack had barely exclaimed in laughter when the nightmare began for the poor war-captured. Yet, there was nothing they could do, for they were incapacitated!
He approached them with a demonic grin…
“Now, why don’t we start with you? I like the look in your eyes.” Jack proceeded to grab a lizard that was glaring at him with defiant eyes, the victim’s meaning obvious.
’Go on, kill me if you can! You’re DEAD!’
Sure, this white lizard was powerful, but he wouldn’t stand a chance against the army behind him! No, right now, he should be begging for his life instead!
Yes, that was the look! This valiant lizard was perhaps the only one who hadn’t understood the situation he was in, but also the moral support of the others.
Every time they saw his proud back, they felt safer.
Every time he spat out, they felt stronger.
Every time he scoffed, they cheered.
And Jack was about to put a brutal end to this. Under the eyes of three entire Legions of Lizards and a LOT of spectators, he got to work.
“Say, ever heard about Waterboarding?”
“Water? There’s only lava, idiot!”
“That’s what I thought.”
Jack sighed profoundly as if a teacher disappointed in his pupil. Yet, a second later, the happy voice coming out of his mouth felt surreal.
“As my Shaman says, gotta be knowledgeable! So, Waterboarding is when you stimulate asphyxiation through lots of fun techniques like… ah, am I boring you?”
He suddenly stopped the lesson with a gasp!
“Ah, you’re right, water’s boring….”
That’s when he yanked the scoffing lizard, bringing him a few meters away. What awaited was a pond of corpses, all neatly placed as if a professional macabre artist had done it!
And it was at that moment that it all happened!
Jack didn’t wait, and with the brightest smile ever, he simply grabbed the recalcitrant lizard’s head and— SLAM! Held it down, right into a fallen lizard’s entrails?!
Then, as if a peaceful scholar, he asked in succession…
“How does it feel to drown in lizard blood?”
“How about choking on entrails?”
“How many scales for rating?”
The foul liquid entered the lizard’s maw, his broken limbs uselessly flailing as he struggled. But would the demon holding him down relent? Nope! Jack was only getting started!
“Either you swallow, or you’ll drown. Ah, but you shouldn’t swallow, that’s bad you know. Those are your fallen comrades, you know?”
That’s when many realized. Jack hadn’t just picked a random defiant lizard, but one from the second Legion to boot?! He was literally making him drink his colleagues?!
Actually, the lizard hadn’t swallowed yet! Even amidst the terror, the few remnants of his spirit wouldn’t let it happen. He’d—
“How about I help you? Right there!”
All Jack did was press a certain scale on his back, but it was enough. It was a pressure point, one that wouldn’t do much but relax muscles a little bit.
But that was enough to shatter it all!
GULP!
GULP!
GULP!
As the poor lizard felt the blood enter his gut, he was about to breathe for the first time, but the relief of air was suddenly stopped by a monstrous flow of vomit erupting out of him.
Madness, this was madness.
Even as Jack released him, the lizard remained broken.
He fell in a pool of his own vomit, eyes blank, all the previous defiance from before gone. What had it done?! It had eaten its brethren?! It had eaten its brethren?! It had—
“What are you spacing out for? We’re just getting started.”
As the voice chimed again, it wasn’t just his spirit but his soul that shattered. Frothing at the mouth, the empty husk collapsed, with Jack staring at the scene in shock.
“Already? Isn’t that too weak a resolve?!”
Too weak?! At this moment, Legions and spectating stadium alike found themselves shivering. This wasn’t a lizard. This was a white demon, one that would toy with them until they were gone!
Their stomachs churned, and they took MANY steps back as they pictured themselves falling into his hands. They could vividly imagine it, especially since he wasn’t done.
[Ding! Traumatized an Entire Generation!]
[Successfully Intimidated an Army!]
[New Skill: Demon King Playtime!]
Who needed torture when you had playtime?! And the psychological impact was so insane that the Alliance was already about to collapse. He couldn’t kill? This was way worse!
“Brethren, I think we left the stove open…”
“Sir, wasn’t today laundry day at our base? We forgot!”
“Brothers, I think I heard a beast far away. Let’s hunt it!”
One after the other, they came up with excuses to leave. There clearly wasn’t any beast! As for the other two leaders, it was even worse. Stove and laundry? As if!
Seeing this, Jack hurriedly called them back.
“No, don’t leave! Attack, instead! Look, I’m weak, demure, and lonely!” He not only waved at them but almost looked as if a coquettish maiden, the blood all over him slightly ruining it!
And that was when they finally knew they REALLY didn’t want to mess with him! But just as they were about to leave, a playful yet confident voice echoed.
“Don’t leave, was it? How about I take you up on your offer!”
A murmur came from far away, and yet it was as loud as a shout?! Then, a second later, lots of lizards appeared on the horizon.
As soon as they saw them, many couldn’t help but gulp. Three more Legions were approaching, and yet they seemed highly coordinated under a weird, enlightened monk-looking lizard!
As for the troops…

Wait, wasn’t the 11th Legion VERY aggressive? Yet, they were following that guy? Why?! But just as their brains were about to court-circuit from the shock, he dropped an even bigger bomb.
The monk-looking lizard turned toward Jack with a grin.
“They might not know, but I do. You CANNOT kill, all thanks to Scaly’s blessing, one that you seemingly lost somehow. How does it feel? All the debuff, but none of the buffs? Then again, that’s expected…”
He gave him a playful grin as he finished the rest.
“… isn’t that right, mister Arcane Lizard?”
What?! If that were true, then that would explain so much! Why he wasn’t killing, his cruelty, and his weird appearance even?! They who had been faltering a second ago, suddenly perked up.
Wasn’t there even a reward for killing an Arcane Lizard?! Most importantly, the situation had changed too. As they glanced next to them, they felt their confidence return.

Could a lone lizard stand against their combined might?! Obviously not! There were so many of them that he wouldn’t be able to win even without that shitty blessing!
With evil grins, they all charged the 12th base at once, all the taunting Jack had done suddenly biting him in the ass!
All their fears had been replaced by anger as they taunted back:
“How about it? Did you plan for this too, bastard?!”
“Don’t leave, was it? Fine, let’s play!”
“Hehe, hope you don’t regret it!”
He was already regretting…
