Chapter 464 - 12th Legion’s Core?!!
Chapter 464: 12th Legion’s Core?!!
The battlefield was so bloody…
At that moment, Jack kept jumping through the sea of lizards, aggressively going after them! Hell, he was going so fast that he almost seemed like a weed remover!
Yet, those weeds were endless…
[Incapacitated Yet Another Lizard!]
[Congratulations! Only Hundreds Left!]
[Warning! Critical Mission Failure Imminent!]
’Hundreds? Enough hundreds to make thousands!’ But even so, he still had to stop them all! He was the last bastion between them and the 12th base core.
Jack REALLY couldn’t afford to fail a Legendary mission either. Only Scaly knew what would happen to the shitty blessing if that happened. No, he HAD to stop them!
But would mere resolve do anything? As they saw him struggle, the enemies laughed out:
“Boys, keep pushing, we’re almost there! A dozen meters!”
“First, shatter the crystal, then shatter him!”
“Teach him how nice death feels!”
In another plane, a certain goddess proudly raised her chest. She definitely felt nice! But it was already too late for compliments, for they had disrespected her Champion!
That’s when the fabric of space itself faltered…

Countless suddenly felt a chill on their backs. Why the hell were they suddenly feeling so uncomfortable?! But her presence changed absolutely nothing for Jack.
This was neither her domain nor prerogative. All she could do was watch and pray for him from the bottom of her voluptuous heart. Thus, she cheered and cheered and cheered.
But then it all quickly turned to waste, the enemies reaching Jack’s crystal.
Endless jeers came from the enemies as his face scrunched in despair.
What was a single lizard supposed to do? This was GAME OVER!
“Hehe, how does it feel to lose? Take this, wretched lizard!” As the enemies mocked, Jack’s entire body fell to the ground as a puppet without strings, one void of any hope.
On his knees, tears escaped his eyes as he powerlessly slammed his hands into the ground repeatedly. “Why! Why does it have to end like this, Scaly!?” He even cursed Heavens!
But just as the snickering started…
“Oh, SHIT!”
Amidst the tears, there was a grin?! And the way he was slamming the ground in desperation was all wrong, too. His claws were digging the earth and—
“RUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN”
That’s when it happened. The spot with Jack’s claws embedded in the ground suddenly glowed a fiery red! It was as if lava veins had appeared underneath it!
Then a second later they all spread endlessly all over the 12th Legion’s base! For a few moment it all pulsated with even more fiery light until finally…. BOOM!
Geysers of fire started exploding all over the damn place!
“How?! Impossible! No one can control lava?!”
“Evade! Get your asses out of there ASAP!”
“Screw the formation! Survive!”
All the cohesion they once had disappeared entirely as they fled for their lives. And everywhere they looked, it was torrents of fire?! What kinda of crazy spell was this?!
[Ding! Successfully Used Fire Manipulation!]
[Managed to Draw Fire Energy!]
[Is it BBQ Time?]
Even now, Jack had to focus all his attention on this, his scales trembling from the effort. All he was doing was slightly guiding the fiery energy out, and yet it took all he had.
He was akin to the greatest firebender ever! And with this, the enemies all disappeared from the 12th Legion Base! Well, almost all of them…
There remained some, crumpled to the ground as they clutched their burned limbs, a mouth-watering scent of well-done meat spreading!
“Arrrgggg! It hurts. It hurts so much!”
“This white lizard’s a true demon!”
“Fuck this place! FUCK THIS!”
There were a LOT of injured, way too many! But just as most were still shellshocked and gazing at Jack with terror, the second Legion leader suddenly gasped.
“Oh god! He turned the entire place into a minefield?!”
That’s when they all remembered a certain scene.
Three steps, pause.
Three steps, pause.
Three steps, pause.
Back then, he hadn’t just been vibing or intimidating, but he had actually been placing traps?! Every time he had stopped, he had messed with the energy under his feet!
This wasn’t one spell, but countless that he could activate at any moment! Still, didn’t that mean he had been expecting this outcome from the very beginning?!
But just as many were about to go insane, a certain 7th Legion leader’s calm voice resounded. “So what? He can blow it up, but he can’t control something so powerful, either! Men, sweep it!”
Ah?! The crazed retreat was barely over, and they had already found a solution. Hell, a few lizards were already stepping forward, and… BOOM!
All they did was violently stab the ground, but it was enough. The controlled explosion instantly wiped out the little magical link Jack still had to that spot!
Seeing this, many grinned…
“Just like that! Look at him still hunched on the ground!”
“That’s it. If he moves, he probably loses control!”
“Keep going slowly! He’s doomed!”
Doomed? Yes! At this rate, they’d soon be upon him, and they’d shatter his crystal! Jack couldn’t help but feel uneasy. But just as he was almost starting to sweat…
[The Eleventh Legion Have Lost Their Core!]
[Eleventh Legion Now Eliminated!]
[You Have 5 Minutes!]
“WHAT?!”
It came out of bloody nowhere! But that’s when many suddenly froze. The third Legion was out, then the sixth, and now even the eleventh?! This was no coincidence, for sure!
“Goddammit, don’t tell me that’s all the 12th Legion’s doing?! The Eleventh Legion barely had anyone left to defend, right? They’re targeting our weak spots somehow!”
This made no damn sense! How could a Legion with barely any members dominate the intelligence warfare? But realizing this, the 7th Legion Leader barked countless orders.
“11th Legion, stop panicking. Submit to the other Legions!”
“Keep removing that white bastard’s magical traps!”
“As for everyone else? Go back to your cores!”
In a matter of seconds, he had not only quelled the unrest but even planned a counterattack. So what if the 12th Legion was moving fast and accurately? It wouldn’t actually matter.
“We’ll crush them with our numbers! There are six Legions here, for Scaly’s sake! I don’t care what it takes, find them! They’re fucking DEAD!”
Seeing them organize so fast, Jack suddenly had a bad feeling.
’Please don’t let them catch you…’
