Chapter 462: Do You Like Apples?
A crazed army invading…
The 12th Legion base was about to fall!
Anyone seeing the scene would instantly know, and so did the translucent lizard floating high above, endless worry in his ghostly eyes. “There’s so many of them?!”
His soul was already shivering with worry, yet a certain ghostly three-eyed phantom quickly disappeared with a profound sigh: “My God, please be safe…”
GASP!
GASP!
GASP!
Awakening was always hard.
This time was no different, the return from Astral Projection always as consuming. Yet, he didn’t even take the time to calm himself, instantly giving the order. “Get started!”
And before anyone could even react, he was already gone again. He wasn’t just the 12th Legion’s scout but also its messenger. As for the message? IT WAS TIME!
That’s when there was a change across the Lizardgeddon…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In a random fiery valley, tiny silhouettes faced a ginormous rock-gorilla-looking monster, the thing making the earth tremble with every rampaging strike!
The thing was MAD!
At this moment, there was a sharp pain in its ass that wouldn’t go away! The monster wasn’t sure what the lizards had done, but with every move, its skin ruptured!
“ROOOOAARRRR!”
Thus, it kept rampaging ever-so-powerfully!
Yet, such ferocity didn’t make the lizards falter one bit. They who had survived Jack’s training and had even received memories from him were still going strong!
“So what if you’re mighty? You can’t even catch us!”
“We’ll keep at it. There’s no escape this time!”
“We’ll get your bloodline for sure!”
The lizards weren’t just valiant. They were ecstatic! Hell, they were so eager that they couldn’t help themselves from screaming at the top of their lungs!
After a long chase, they’d finally succeeded! This monster was special and even glowed amidst the Lizardgeddon. As long as they caught it and absorbed its power, they’d RISE!
And as it finally fell, they cheered as if they had already won the Lizardgeddon! They merely took a few minutes break, and then they got back up to their feet.
“Perfect! Bring it back to base, and we’ll WIN!”
They were so close!
They were so damn close!
Just a little more, and they’d—
TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! Just as victory was in sight, there was suddenly a commotion. The earth started shaking again, just as it had done a little bit ago.
But this time, it wasn’t a monster, but… a Legion?! And whatever Legion it was were already showing cruel smiles as they approached, their eyes flashing with infinite greed.
“Leave the body and SCRAM!”
“Hehe, too bad for you, but we heard it all!”
“Something about its blood giving powers, right?”
They cackled like third-rate villains, but their power still was first-rate! Their mere presence was enough to send despair into the hearts of the 12th Legion members.
They had been hunting the super secret monster hidden in the Lizardgeddon, only for it to be stolen by their enemies?! They couldn’t accept that! They’d fight to the death and—
But before they could attack…
[Warning! The 12th Base is Under Attack!]
[Warning! The 12th Base is Under Attack!]
[Warning! The 12th Base is Under Attack!]
“What?! Oh god, no! Our base’s getting attacked?!” What kind of shitty timing was this?! It was as if Heaven itself was conspiring against them! “Retreat, NOW!”
What would be the use of a crazy power-up if they were eliminated before they could even use it?! They ran out as if their tails were on fire, leaving shell-shocked but laughing lizards.
“Pfft— This 12th Legion couldn’t be unluckier!”
“With this, our third Legion will prosper!”
“Scouts, you did a wonderful job!”
They congratulated one another, already carrying the monster’s carcass with them, heading to their own base! After all, they had heard enough to know what to do with it.
1. Get its blood out!
2. Place it in the Altar’s bowl
3. ????
4. Profit!
Even now, they weren’t sure about the specifics, but apparently, they would be getting an amazing power out of it, and that was enough for them! Thus, they quickly got to work.
In no time, a monster carcass lay right next to their crystal as they celebrated!
“Men, it’s finally the third Legion’s time to rise!”
“Alliances? After this, we’ll be unstoppable!”
“Hehe, who wants to go first?”
Their leader expected them all to jump on the opportunity, and yet none moved?! No, at this moment, they all froze, their expressions quickly going from shock to terror.
“What are you all looking at?”
And that’s when the leader looked back, his expression quickly turning the same shade of shocked purple. What the actual fuck was happening? The corpse was moving?!
As if a zombie coming to life, it was wriggling, and then—
SLASH! With a powerful slash, its belly was suddenly cut open, lizards erupting out of the corpse, their bodies filled with gut. And that’s when time seemed to freeze once more.
A single step was enough. They were right next to the crystal. Faced with enemies so close, a certain base core didn’t stand a chance! Soon, a mighty shattering sound resounded!
KACHA! And then it crumbled into millions of pieces…
[The Third Legion Have Lost Their Core!]
[Third Legion Now Eliminated!]
[You Have 5 Minutes!]
Five minutes? Five minutes for what?! But then they instinctively understood, their bodies were already growing weaker by the second, only their mouths still functional.
If they wanted to live, they HAD to beg for their lives! And knowing this, they didn’t waste any time at all, eagerly wagging their tongues like crazy:
“Please, I’ll become your slave!”
“I’ll join your Legion! I fight good!”
“Mercy, we’re all Lizardmen here, please!”
Hearing this, the 12th Legion members couldn’t help but freeze. There was 4 of them and they’d get to decide the fate of an entire Legion?!
Reverence in their eyes, they looked toward where their base was, where he was no doubt fighting to buy them time. This power, this awesomeness, was all thanks to HIM!
But they quickly brushed it aside, focusing on their task…
“Say, are you guys really fighters? You’re not filthy weaklings that dream to quit the battlefield and work in an apple orchard or something?”
Gasp! This was a chance! Hearing this, the third Legion members didn’t hesitate, all screaming at the top of their lungs! “NO WAY! WE’RE WARRIORS! SCREW APPLES!”
Hearing them, the 12th Legion members gave satisfied nods. This was clearly the answer they expected! They were even approaching the first enemies to accept their pleas!
Yet, just as the first was about to be saved…
“Nothing wrong with Apples!”
A weird-looking third Legion member suddenly cried his soul out. Not only did he go against the current, but he didn’t back down even as his brethren sent him death stares!
Hearing this, the 12th Legion members raised their brows…
“Mmmm, what do you mean?”
“I’ll fight, and once we’re victorious, I’ll be a farmer if you need me to! I’ll do it all! Lizardmen used to be farmers; why can’t we be both?! Why can’t we—”
That’s when came the killing intent. It was a mere fraction of what Jack had shown them before, but it was enough for those third legion worms.
Enough killing intent to shut the kid up, enough killing intent to clearly show him that he’d die if he didn’t backtrack on his foolish words!
And yet, his eyes stayed resolute…
Wrong choice! Everyone with a brain could see that! Just like that, a 12th Legion member angrily approached, ready to deliver a swift and very painful execution!
A blade-like claw approached the weird apple-loving prisoner and landed on his head—but way too gently!? “Kid, you have balls. Welcome to the 12th Legion!”
What?! What kind of reversal was that?! As the 12th Legion slaughtered a powerless third Legion, their new member couldn’t help but stare at it all like a dead fish.
Wait, he wasn’t dead?! More importantly, what were THEY?!
There was no way they were regular lizards!
[Ding! Third Legion Wiped Out!]
It was just the beginning…
