Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 53 - To Slay The Lizard

The words 'Newt' resonated throughout the small cave. With the magic that replaced the lungs of the Golem, the cry was like thunder.

Three rounds of the dreaded N-word that disgraced the Char Black Lizard Prince's noble linage echoed across the cave. For a lizard with a distinguished and respectable reptilian lineage, they hated how they were compared to the disgraceful amphibian class of lizard wannabes. The newts always had an intense rivalry with lizards, and for a lizard of such distinguished status to be called a newt, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The Char Black Lizard Prince knew that it faced annihilation. His team was never strong enough to survive the golems. And that word was riding on the first time Kyros said it. The effects of Taunt were reflected and carried over to the cry of Stoph. And this word drove the Char Black Lizard Prince wild.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" The Char Black Lizard Prince howled and abandoned all restraints and charged at Stoph. He mowed down the stalactites it passed in its anger. As it ran, it continuously shot its dark attacks at the group when it was nearer. All the Char Black Lizard that followed it around also moved closer to attack.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Lizard Prince recklessly attacked even though some of the attacks would hit its allies. It continued to crawl up the ceiling, moving closer and closer in its attack.

Kyros had already given the order, and most of the Golems raised the dead bodies of the nearby lizards to block them.

Kyros held out the Earth Core and explained his plans. He quickly summoned a Soil Golem and retrieved the Blood Blade, absorbing more blood from the fallen lizards. Kyros bit down to absorb the blood and replenish as much mana he could. Although Kyros has been doing the cycle of absorbing blood through this technique, he was cautious that it wouldn't be enough and couldn't help but take one last bite before executing his plan.

Kyros then gave two instructions to Stoph. The instructions were rather simple, but it sounded crazy.

"What?" Stoph was amazed at the order.

"Do it! Let's go!" Kyros jumped up and stood up on Stoph's shoulder and fire arrows at the Black Lizards.

"Throw me!" Kyros shouted as he dropped the bow and held two swords on his hand. The Vermilion Earth Sword was on his human hand, and his dark arm was holding the Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges.

Stoph reached back, and Kyros stood on Stoph's arm, and Stoph threw Kyros as if Kyros was a ball.

The might of a Ruby Golem was on display as it hurled Kyros.

The speed and velocity created from hurling Kyros would have confused anyone else. Even those reaching near level 20s would not be able to do anything but helplessly allow themselves to be thrown and crash on a wall or a lizard.

But now, Kyros. Pronto was activated. He could see and perceive things faster than an average human. What should have been a whirling blur for others was crystal clear to Kyros.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

Using the fast speed, Kyros slashed and hacked the nearest lizards with Kyros's amazing dexterity.

The slashes and strikes were decreasing the velocity as Kyros was intentionally doing it to reach the Lizard Prince.

As Kyros approached, the Lizard Prince whipped its large tail towards Kyros.

The Shadow Familiar and the Ghoul appeared and pushed Kyros down before getting smacked and disintegrated. But they had succeeded in their mission. Kyros landed at the bottom, stabbing the Vermilion Earth Sword and the Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges on the nearby monsters to stop his movements.

Almost immediately, Kyros stored the two blades in his Inventory and jumped up right before the tail of Lizard Prince smashed the ground squishing the Char Vermilion Lizards nearby.

Kyros managed to evade the attack on the last minute and was using his dexterous parkour move to do a wall run.

The Lizard Prince readied to pounce on Kyros, but then...

SMASH!

It was as if a large rock smashed on Lizard Prince.

The impact was so strong that the Lizard Prince lost its grip from the top and plummeted to the Char Vermilion Lizards below.

The cause of the impact was from the Soil Golem that Kyros summoned.

After summoning it, Kyros told Stoph to throw him towards the Lizard Prince. And once done, he was to throw the Soil Golem that he summoned.

Kyros managed to slice and kill the many obstacles that would have hindered and given Stoph a clearing for him to hurl the Soil Golem like a rock.

Although the Soil Golem was weaker than the Clay Golem and the Rock Golem, it didn't mean it was so soft. Its body alone was harder than a Char Vermilion Lizard. The lizards had scales and biology that absorbed the blow, but a Soil Golem was sturdier if it was just plain hardness.

And the whole body of the Soil Golem smashed and broke to smithereens on the Lizard Prince's head.

The groggy Lizard Prince laid with its back on top of a few Char Vermilion Lizard that it fell down on.

Kyros was then completing his final attack and leaped towards the downed Lizard Prince.

He had the Earth Core in hand and the Vermilion Sword on his dark hand. He channeled all the Earth energy remaining in the Earth Core and fueled his Vermilion Earth Sword. The added Earth energy made the Vermilion Earth Sword heavier, and Kyros activated a split second Time Haste to increase his speed and velocity.

The Vermilion Earth Sword stabbed at the heart of the Lizard Prince.

A muffled sound was heard, followed by a painful howl as the Vermilion Earth Sword succeed in penetrating the heart of the Lizard Prince.

Kyros stored the Vermilion Earth Sword and retrieved the Blood Blade on his human hand and the Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges on his dark hand. With the two thinner swords on hand, Kyros stabbed down the heart of the Lizard Prince.

[Dark Devourer activated.]

[Blood Devourer activated.]

Kyros jumped up and stomped on the two swords to stab the two further inside the heart before jumping off.

"Stoph! Throw more Lizards here! No need to shield yourself from the Black Lizards!" Kyros ordered and ran off, leaving both swords stabbed on the heart of the Lizard Prince.

The Lizard Prince kept howling and was clawing at its chest. It began to squirm around and cry in fear. It was dying.

Kyros stored the two items into his Inventory and retrieved them once more, and began to greedily devour the dark and blood energy.

The Lizard Prince pounced at Kyros in anger but then...

SMASH!

A lizard was hurled at it and struck its back, causing it to stumble once more.

Kyros took the chance and stabbed the Vermilion Earth Sword on the opened mouth of the Lizard Prince.

Only three seconds passed since Stoph threw Kyros at the moment that Kyros stabbed the opened mouth of the Lizard Prince.

It even took a few more seconds until Char Black Lizards realized that their Prince had been stabbed in critical locations, and it was only then that they pounced and shot dark energy at Kyros.

Kyros laughed and used his dexterity to move and evade the attacks. He suddenly ran and jumped on several lizards and began to attack the Black Lizards.

SMASH! SMASH!

More dead lizards were hurled. Stoph realized how strong his throws were and began to throw the bodies of the lizards he got to the area.

With his amazing dexterity, Kyros began to fight the nearby lizards and evaded the dark bolts of the Black Lizards.

Stoph ordered the Iron Golem to rush forward. Without the bombardment of the Black Lizards, they could fight without worries. The Iron Golems would kill and even rip off the Char Vermilion Lizards, and Stoph would take the dead and hurl it towards the Black Lizards or to the Vermilion Lizards near the location where Kyros was fighting.

Kyros continued to shout more orders which Stoph immediately gave to his men. While he continued to hurl Lizards on the Black Lizards, the Rock Golems began to work together and grab the dead lizards by the tail.

The Iron Golems fought at the vanguard, and the Rock Golems would move just behind them and smash the lizards by carrying by the tail and throw them.

It was as if the Rock Golems had a large, long hammer that they would smash to the lizards, bypassing the Iron Golems fighting.

The ranks of the Lizards never reformed, and the Golems were pushing faster and faster.

Soon, the Lizards began to panic, and many retreated. The surviving Black lizards kept howling and ordering them to stay, but they were all ignored.

Kyros kept fighting and evading his way.

He drank more blood along the way and even stabbed a downed and wounded Black Lizard. Kyros ate the darkness of this creature but continued moving. Soon, Kyros reached the narrow path leading to his uncle.

The path began to narrow, and Kyros could still see several Lizards crowding on the small path. Corpses were at the side, and some lizards were eating their way out.

Kyros gritted his teeth in anger as he saw it and charged for attacking the crowding lizard. With such an amount of lizards there, Kyros feared that a few knights have already been killed for refusing to escape.
