《Arcane Universe[AU]》Ch 14: Vs King Lizardman | Final part
Advertisement
'What a mess.' Aizen looked at the two Lizardman Lords who were almost close to exterminating the players.
'I'll take care of these two first.'
Aizen darted towards the two Lords.
-
The Shield Lord Lizardman was about to kill a player, but he was surprised when an unknown boy appeared in front of him.
*Roar!*
The Lizardman tried to skewer Aizen with his spear, but Aizen dodged the attack and punched the Lizardman in the stomach.
*BAM!*
The punch went through the Lizardmen stomach, making him kneel in pain.
'Oblivion is useful.' He had turned Oblivion into a glove, so his punches had become much stronger.
The Lizardmen looked at Aizen with determination in his eyes. He wasn't afraid to die, but he wanted to die with honor. He was a soldier and was trained for it.
Aizen looked at the Lizardmen, seeing the determination in his eyes. He was a little surprised. Their feeling was so… alive.
The lizardman tried to attack Aizen with his spear again.
*Ding!*
Aizen deflected the blow with his glove. He reached his hand toward the Lizardman's chest.
*BOOMM!*
A beam of flame tore through the Lizardman's heart, killing him.
Aizen took the loot but decided to check the items later. He made more beams of flame and shot the other Lord Lizardman.
*BOOMM!* *BOOMM!* …
The Lizardman tried to dodge, but the beam speed was high. A few beams of flame went through his left arm.
Just when he thought the beams were gone and Aizen was out of mana, a red magic circle began to form under his feet. The Lizardman tried to break out of the magic circle, but it was too late.
*BOOMM!*
The pillar of flames charred the Lizardman.
Two Lords were killed, in just seconds.
-
"Who is this guy?" Ren was in shock at what he saw. How is it possible for a player to kill two Lords in seconds?
Ren tried to use his analysis skill, but only the player's name was shown. All other information showed an "unknown".
Players didn't know what Aizen looked like. When he posted the Showcases videos, his face was covered by the hood and mask.
"That mask…" When Amarys saw the mask Aizen was wearing, she understood everything.
'Was he not a merchant?'

*Roar!*
King Lizardman was furious to see his two most powerful soldiers die. He darted towards Aizen with hate in his eyes.
"Care-"
*BOOMM!*
Amarys tried to warn Aizen that the Lizardman King was much stronger than the Lords, but her speech was interrupted by the explosion of flames.
-
*Ding!* *Ding!*
Aizen parried King Lizardman's blows with his gloves. He had to admit that the King class was far superior to the Lord class, However, he wasn't weak either. After killing World Boss and learning about mana, his body went through a splendid change. His physical stats rose to another level. He also learned to use magic.
*Bam!*
Aizen kicked King Lizardman in the chest, knocking him away. He created fire arrows and shot King Lizardman.
King Lizardman absorbed Aizen's magical attacks with his spear.
'That spear absorbs magic?'
After absorbing the fire arrows, King Lizardman sent out a beam of energy.
*BOOMM!*
Aizen dodged the beam and went to attack again. He had a big advantage in speed, King Lizardman wasn't so fast for him.
*Ding!* *Bam!*
Aizen and King Lizardman began exchanging blows. Aizen had the advantage, being faster. His punches are also strong.
King Lizardman began using the remaining energy he absorbed in attacks to try to hit energy beams at Aizen whenever he could.
*BAM!!*
Aizen punched King Lizardman hard in the chest, causing him to vomit blood.
'They don't seem to know magic.' Aizen realized that while the lizardmen have great physical characteristics, they weren't very good at Magic, King Lizardman doesn't seem to know magic.
*BAM!*
He punched King Lizardman one more time, this time in his mouth.
*Roar!*
King Lizardman roared in rage, His skin started to change and get thicker. His body grew.
'This ability looks similar to the Wolf King.' Aizen thought.
*Roar!*
King Lizardman lowered his spear towards Aizen, but he dodged the attack.
*BOOMM!*
When the spear hit the floor, the entire room shook. The players thought about running and leaving the others behind, but when they saw Aizen defeating the Lizard Man King, they decided to stay. Who doesn't want to see a fight like this? Or try to get the loot later?
...
King Lizardman tried to hit Aizen's legs, but Aizen jumped in the air and dodged the attack.

'Got you.' King Lizardman thought. In the air, Aizen couldn't dodge their attacks.
King Lizardman has prepared his energy beam. He thought victory was in his hands.
'I got you.' Aizen thought with a smile. His gloves turned into a knife. King Lizardman was confused to see a knife floating in front of him.
The Oblivion that was now knife-shaped was covered in red flames.
'Take it.' Aizen kicked the knife. The flaming knife pierced King Lizardman's head.
*Roar!*
King Lizardman roared in pain.
'Not over yet.'
*BOOMM!*
The Oblivion exploded in the head of King Lizardman. King Lizardman was thrown tens of meters away.
…
King Lizardman rose from the ground, shivering. His body was weak and almost without vigor. He was… on the brink of death.
'Not dead yet, huh.' Aizen was impressed by this guy's vigor.
Aizen looked into King Lizardman's eyes and saw a fearless gleam. King Lizardman was not afraid of death. He would die doing what he loves, fighting.
"You're a weird guy. But it was a pleasure fighting you." Aizen said. King Lizardman did not understand his words, but he understood his intent.
Fire flowers began to sprout on the floor and walls, King Lizardman looked at the fire flowers. So beautiful. He closed his eyes and fell to the ground. This vision was the last and most beautiful vision of his life.
Level 10>15
Amarys looked at the red flowers with a glint in his eyes. She was fascinated by the way Aizen used magic. It was so… different, it was so free. The other players use magic in basic form, fireballs, stone stakes, gusts of wind, etc.
Players follow patterns, but Aizen manages to control magic in a way Amarys has never seen before.
'Goodbye…'
Aizen took the loot and prepared to leave.
The players looked at the Drops with greed in their eyes. They saw something… yes, an SR item, SR items emanate a strong blue glow on loot, It saw the difference an SR item can make. The Pegasus guild leader had a huge power boost due to his sword.
'He must be tired after the fight, this is our chance!' They think.
The intermediate guilds had over 120 players, but now only 30 remain. They decided to make a temporary alliance.
"Leader…" Ryo thought about attacking Aizen, but Amarys put his arm in front of him.
"...Do not move."
…
Aizen looked at the players with a smile.
"I'm not satisfied with my Drops, how about I take yours?" He fired several beams of flame at the players.
*BOOMM!* *BOOMM!*
The players tried to defend themselves, but it was useless.
"Stop! You don't know what you're doing! Do you think you can attack our members like that?!"
"I think." Aizen continued shooting beams of flame.
The guild leaders were furious, If any player dies to a monster or NPC, the probability of them dropping their items is low. However, when a player kills another player, the probability of dropping an item is higher.
*BOOMM!* *BOOMM!*
"You will pay for this!"
After a few seconds, all players from the intermediate guilds died, including their leaders.
Aizen some rare items on the ground, Looks like there were some lucky players among them, maybe they were the guild leaders. Rare items are not easy to get at this stage of the game, at least not for small and intermediate guilds. Big guild leaders usually had 1-3 rare items equipped. Well, it depends on luck. The best items almost always go to the guild leader or core members.
Well, you might be a guild member who was lucky to find a rare item and didn't say anything, Haha, that happens too.
After collecting the loot, Aizen left.
-
"That guy is the merchant, isn't he?" Ren asked the group's experts.
"Looks so, leader."
Pegasus hadn't tried to attack Aizen, so they were fine. Ren wasn't dumb, he was a leader and he knew the right time to act. When Aizen took King Lizardman's loot and tried to leave, it gave the impression that he couldn't fight anymore; however, Ren saw that the guy didn't look tired at all.
"Search the dungeon, maybe there are rooms with items we didn't find." Ren said. Was he right? After Pegasus members searched on the 3rd floor, they ended up finding some interesting items.
"We made a profit, the trip was worth it!" Ren yelled, The members of Pegasus let out a cry of joy.
