592 Lizard Nes (1/2)

”Firewave Emission.” Alex and Sherry created a giant horizontal fire tornado, sweeping everything inside the cave. ”Good one, Sherry.”

”Yes, Master,” Sherry shouted in a happy tone. If she was in her half-human form, she might jump in joy after that praise.

”Don't celebrate too early you two. None of them die yet.” Anna shouted as she went in front of them and slashed her scythe forward. ”Dark Cut.”

The dark wave flew toward the lizards that had been blown away by Alex's and Sherry's Firewave Emission. It had been two hours since Alex finished his array. Kyle's group took charge of the defense as soon as one hour was up.

Fabio's group escorted Anya to get to a safer place and met Alex's group on the way. The tunnel seemed to be longer than he expected because there were around one hundred meters between the frontline and the safe place. Alex vaguely noticed this because he was too focused on the lizards.

Anya had no report, so they quickly passed them without talking with each other. They knew their priority was to recover to make this battle easier.

After another hour, Alex finally took charge of the frontline while Kyle, Artur, and Jean pulled back to regroup with Anya and the others. And it had been another hour since Alex's group took over.

The situation wasn't really dangerous because they could blow the lizards away with their Firewave Emission. Although they had strong bodies, they never fought in their life. Just like a lizard that had been inside the cage for a few hundred if not thousands of years, knowing nothing other than getting stronger, the lizards were pretty easy to control.

Every time the lizards were closing in against them, Alex and Sherry used their flame to blow them back. Besides, they could rain them down with unlimited firebirds, making their job easier. Anna was there as a buffer to kill every lizard that somehow passed them.

”Blade of Conquest.” Alex sent another Blade of Conquest by channeling the shockwave to the ground. This was the proper way to use Blade of Conquest. Obviously, the power inside this shockwave was stronger than when Alex used it as a sword wave.

Each Blade of Conquest could kill around five to ten lizards before they could stop them with their strong arms. Of course, Alex didn't use it that much because of the stamina reason.

After these three hours from Fabio's group, they hadn't seen a single big lizard again in this tunnel, so they thought the big lizard earlier was a special one.

At first, Alex was worrying whether the lizard would continue rushing to this place after this much ruckus or not. Considering it was a long tunnel from Alex's position to their nest, it was normal that no lizard would be bothered enough to come in. Luckily, the sound of explosions and other things kept echoing through the cave, alarming the rest of the lizards.

According to this rate, most of his Spirits should reach 10-Star Martial Monarch in this place. After that, he could use his EXP Cards to turn them into a Martial Monarch. When Sherry, Kyle, and he turned into Martial Monarch, The Black Devil Sect wouldn't be able to stop them.

This thought motivated him even further. He killed the lizard one by one, not letting even a single of them pass him. Besides him, Sherry mostly used Firewave Emission and Flame of Extinction because she didn't have any other fire arts.

”Sherry, how about learning other fire arts? I can search for one that suits you after this.” Alex asked while swinging his sword.

”Hmm…” Sherry thought for a moment. All the fire arts in her repertoire were pretty versatile, except fighting underground like this, so she answered. ”I don't particularly need one though since Master learned the fire art after putting in so much thought. Of course, I can't copy Master's Hell Inferno for various reasons, but if Master wants me to learn another fire art, I don't mind.”

”Sure. I will pick one to add your firepower since Kyle had Fire Lotus Art from Stina. Maybe, I will also learn that, but who knows.” Alex shrugged.

”Yes. I will master it as quickly as possible.” Sherry nodded with a smile.

Alex nodded as he focused back on his enemies. Anna didn't have too much screen time because most of the monsters died before it could pass Alex and Sherry. She ended up watching these two from afar while sending her 'Dark Cut' from time to time.

After the two hours passed, Fabio, Vera, and Greg appeared right behind them. Greg said, ”Young Master, please retreat. We will take care of here.”

”Sure.” Alex nodded without hesitation while Anna and Sherry followed him abruptly. Fabio and Vera crossed their swords and slashed downwards at the same time, sending a cross sword wave.

Unfortunately, Alex couldn't see it anymore because he already arrived in front of Anna. A hundred meters was nothing for a Martial Emperor. He asked, ”How is your condition?”

”With this rate, I am sure I can hold on until we kill them all,” Anya assured him with a smile.

”That's good. Just don't overwork yourself.” Alex smiled before checking the others.

They kept rotating their members around and chipped away their number bit by bit. It was only after six rotations the True Spirit Body was finally undone. It was still Alex's group turn, but Fabio's and Kyle's group already appeared behind him, helping him in fighting the lizards.

Alex decided to have a thirty minutes break and continued fighting. The progress was according to the plan, and they started pushing them through the tunnel after they killed three thousand lizards. Because of the size of the tunnel, they split the group into two.
