Chapter 69: Crimson Crystal Lizard
Inching along the corridor, neither Nisha nor Henry could hide their excite man couldn’t believe that they had found a hidden rooly However, they had been following the stone passage for a while, and Henry could now say for sure that it was different fro two rooms Whatever was at the end, anticipation was alreadyshi+vers run down Nisha’s spine
Still, blindly rushi+ng in was no smart move, both youths knew that much
Finally spotting a copper gleaht present in the Dungeon, both of them raced to be the first to discover the new room’s wonders
The corridor abruptly ended in a roo was littered with copper colored crystals, the walls and ground covered in either redsoft hills and a wide crystal grass plain stretching to a er than any room they had passed by so far
In the hest hill, a bulky lizard, adorned with scales blending perfectly in its surroundings, lazily eyed the new visitors Neither surprised nor agitated, it simply turned around and left them with their questions, apparently not interested in them
“It’s a beast! This has to be a beast! No way a monster would leave us alone! Maybe we can contract with it!”
Excited by the prospect of subduing a coot all of his hard earned caution and sped up once again
Nisha on the other hand had lived with three oversized lizards for more than ten years, and the sneer she had spotted on the crimson beast’s muzzle before it had turned around had made her feel unsettled
Most of all, this creature shared her ele around its slender body, strea to its beast core; and she was thus the best person to understand the fire’s fierce temper, the flames’ desire for battle… No fire beast could suppress their bloodlust for long
“Don’t, Henry!”
Figuring out that so him trip and crash into the stone wall
A srimaced in pain
“What the hell, Nisha?! Why did you do that? Don’t worry, I won’t steal it away from you, you found it first But I can try if it doesn’t want to submit to you, can’t I?”
Pressing a hand on his injury and scowling at her, the young ly calmer
The sneer had only warned Nisha, she didn’t knohere the danger was All the hairs on her arms suddenly stood up as the red lizard released his rank’s pressure, na of inferiority eighing on her small frame Aware that the intruders were suspicious and wouldn’t enter the rooed into a frown
Now sure there was soirl bent down and picked up a piece of rubble
“Look”
Four eyes closely followed the crescent depicted by the pebble as it fell to the ground
Why does nothing happen? A false alarm?
“What should I see? Ow, this really hurts Did you need to be so violent?”
Getting up and rubbing the bu had already stopped, Henry was about to enter the room and attempt to tame the beast when Nisha swiftly shoved another stone towards the lush grass
This time however, she filled it to the brim with mana and aura
It silently passed by the entrance, and the world exploded in noise, dust and fire
Growing froetation, pillars of flaround and crushed the rock, before going for Nisha, whose poas linked to the intruding element
In response, the Flae aht hand, shi+elding her from the spell
Nonetheless, they could only soften the blow, not negate it Breaking through the scales as though they were illusory, the energy tore her skin apart, revealing the pink flesh underneath the white skin, soon obscured by blood freely flowing
Clutching her injured liive the beast the satisfaction to see his little visitors successfully trapped
“Nisha! What happened, are you alright?! You’re bleeding!”
Recovering yet again from the floor where he had been pushed by the blow, fortunately not injured this time, her step brother approached her
He had understood that had he been in that stone’s place, there wouldn’t even have been a complete corpse left of him
“It’s fine, I got lucky, it’s just a scratch See, it’s healing You’re forgetting I lived in the Wilderness, there’s no way I wouldn’t have some trump cards ready”
The dragon showed her wounded li skill was replacing the daed skin No bone had been broken and her flesh was mostly intact, after all this could only be considered a harruesome injuries she had sustained in the past
The cri at the two elves To Henry, it rowls just co therunts meant
It was laughing at them!
Not only did the creature try to kill the them
“Shut up! What are you, anyway?”
Nisha glared at the lizard and bellowed in the dragon tongue in an angry tone, partly because of the pain, and partly because of the ehed at
“Interesting So you understand Are you a half? Maybe a large snake type? No, you speak dragon But dragons don’t produce half bloods
And your order carries a certain weight as well, so at least a high rank bloodline Interesting, interesting I could ask you the sa, don’t you think? Who are you?”
“Silence! Answer my questions, what are you? And why are you here? You are far too powerful to be placed on the first floor”
Henry had long since stopped bothering with being surprised every ti the girl and the lizard growling at each other with increasing hostility, he silently moved in front of Nisha and raised his sword and shi+eld
“Such powerful authority If you were ofLet us make a deal Come here in ive you a gift, let’s see… oh right, I have what you would call a ‘legendary’ eon to obtain those kind of rare treasures, right?”
Making a black ore appear in the air, the lizard proved that he had access to its [Soul space], re the two youths of hoerful it truly was
