Ranking System-Chapter 24 The Beginning Of An Invasion

[Jennifer Burgess POV]

This is looking dire. Five minutes ago, my daughter had warned me of an attack. To think it would happen on this crucial day.

I warned the guest in these five minutes and called for the International Defense Agency. The branch in the UK should be able to hold back the invaders long enough for the real big shot to show up.

[Invasion is now beginning. Prepare to defend your home world.]

"Honey. Please stay safe."

[Third Person POV]

In the sky, a cracked space began to open, and lizard people began to come out of the space. A hundred landed on the ground and began attacking nearby people.

Even with some preparation, it was hard for everyone to do something within a few minutes. A war had begun in the middle of London, and battles between top rankers of Earth and Lizard people had started.

Up against a hundred lizards, people were a thousand humans. The fight is already devastating, ranging from some millionth rank to a second-digit ranker.

Buildings were being torn apart, and the people in the crossfire died. And this was only the beginning of a long battle.

"Hahaha! Look at our mighty Zartarians fight! These earthlings will soon meet their demise!"

The perpetrator of this invasion was the leader of the Zartarians. His name is Olareno, and he is the strongest person in his race.

He was about 2.2m tall with blue skin. Dressed in heavy armor made of unknown materials with a crown, one would assume he is the king of his world. Coupled with his sword and aura, he was, without a doubt, powerful.

"Zarbon! Don't waste your time on that weakling!"

Olareno roared, commanding Zarbon, one of his men, to finish the fight. Zarbon was fighting ten people who were near his strength.

"My liege. I will do as you say." 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Zarbon heard his king's command, and the aura of Zarbon spiked. The ten people that were fighting Zarbon were now grimacing.

"I was going to enjoy the fight some more, but you heard my king. Don't blame me for your weakness." fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

"Don't you dare underestimate us. We won't go down that easily."

One of the fighters fighting Zarbon came out and said it. The situation looking for those ten wasn't looking so good.

Fighting Zarbon, they were already at a disadvantage in terms of overall abilities. Now that Zarbon was going for the kill, they had to step up their game.

"I like your spirit, but that's not something you could use to beat me."

Zarbon, who held a spear, came down, attacking the person nearest to him. Unable to react, the person's body was sliced in half.

The scene was gory, against someone within the top one hundred. A person in the ten thousand rankings would have no chance.

With one of the people dead in an instant, everyone paled at the sight. Everyone that was fighting Zarbon is all fodder. Waiting for the top rankers to arrive, all these people could do was stall for time.

"Everyone! Use a blood sacrifice!"

A blood sacrifice is a dangerous drug. Once taken, your body's strength and mana will grow incredibly. Depending on someone's talent, they would increase their strength by two to three times.

But the drawbacks of the drug were something most people couldn't handle. The reason why the drug was called blood sacrifice was that the drug weakens your heart functionality.

One could imagine what would happen if that were to be taken. Not only would you be weakened by a large degree, but you might also be considered a cripple for life.

Everyone knew that this might be their final fight. But fighting against an invader this strong was their only choice.

Taking the drug, the strength of everyone increased by two or threefold. Zarbon had killed another one before they could take the drug.

"Do you think I would allow you to do that without doing anything?"

After killing the one taking the drug, Zarbon threw his spear at another. The spear had penetrated and made a hole in the man's stomach.

Seven were left, but they were now ready to fight.

On the other side of the battlefield, the other troops attacked everything. Some top rankers had already arrived and had killed some troops.

But not everything was bright. Some of the lizard men's troops were killed, and some of the top rankers were.

An example would be overall ranked no 89. He had sacrificed himself and caused an explosion killing five of the troops.

This battle was brutal. London was already destroyed, and most civilians on the battlefield had already died. There are currently 85 lizard men left, and the strong ones are all alive.

Back to the battlefield with Zarbon, only five were left. Zarbon had taken some scratches, but most were already on their last feet.

"Warriors, I commend you all for your fighting spirits, but this fight is finished."

"What!!!"

Zarbon had disappeared from his spot and decapitated the woman shaken by what Zarbon had said.

After killing the woman, he proceeded to do this to the next. In just a few seconds, everyone that he fought had died. He then flew back to his king and stood by his side.

"Zarbon, you have disappointed me."

"As my second command, you took too long to finish those bottomfeeders. They weren't even someone who we should be wary of."

"My liege, they make perfect use as a training practice."

Olareno sighed at his second-in-command antics. He then scanned the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to join the fight.

Some of his men may have been killed, but he didn't care. He may be a king, but he did not need some weaklings.

This invasion was for training purposes and for him to plunder more resources. Olareno is arrogant. He truly believed that no one in this world would be able to defeat him.

He then smiled, sensing a challenger worthy of fighting.
