Chapter 139: Irregular License Exam (26)
As I walked towards the Lizardman King, I had a cautious look on my face.
However, there was also confidence in my eyes as I faced this Lizardman King.
After all, from the very beginning, I had been planning on facing the dungeon boss alone.
It was only after accidentally meeting Long Shui Ling that these plans had changed.
However, I can't say that every part of meeting her was considered bad since she had an amazing ability.
I really hoped that I would be able to take her under my wings after this, but that depended on the future.
Instead, I had to focus on the now.
I had been planning on facing this dungeon boss alone.
Since that was the case, that meant that I had been confident enough to take out this dungeon boss on my own.
If I wasn't, I never would have come here.
The Lizardman King was also wary when it saw me approaching.
It could have swung its trident at any time to attack me, but it didn't do that.
It didn't know why, but it felt like if it tried to use the water tentacles to attack, something bad would have happened. The Lizardman King didn't know exactly what that bad thing would be, but this was what its instincts were telling it.
So it just waited for me to act.
But it still eventually couldn't take it anymore.
The Lizardman King suddenly gave a screech and the armoured lizardmen started moving.
They had been idle the entire time since the Lizardman King had taken the stage, but now that the Lizardman King was screeching out orders, they had no choice but to move.
So they all came forward as if they were about to surround me.
It seemed like this Lizardman King was finally acting like a king.
Instead of attacking me itself, it was sending out its subordinates to attack.
This was how a king should fight.
But I could tell from the look on its face that this wasn't it.
It was using these lizardmen guards to see what I was capable of.
The moment that I showed my cards, I would find a bunch of water tentacles falling down on me.
This Lizardman King was prepared to act at any moment.
It was just too bad that I didn't plan on giving it that chance.
I knew that I should end this as quickly as possible or else this would be bad for me.
So with a thought…time stopped.
I made my way forward to the armoured lizardmen and didn't hesitate to stab through the cracks in their armour with my sword.
I had been watching when the other three had been fighting these armoured lizardmen, so I had already figured out their weaknesses. They had powerful armour, but there were still cracks in these armours that could be taken advantage of.
I made sure that all of the armoured lizardmen were dead before turning to the Lizardman King.
Standing in front of the Lizardman King, I really could appreciate just how powerful this dungeon boss was.
But that didn't matter since I was planning on killing it in the first place.
I tried to cut the Lizardman King, but…I found that I wasn't able to pierce my sword in.
The Lizardman King's hide was just too thick for me even with my increased strength.
So in the end, I had no choice but to use my sword's special ability to boost my power.
It was only then that I was able to cut through the Lizardman King's thick hide.
I made a few quick slashes in vital positions before moving past him and taking the stance.
As I moved past the Lizardman King, I said, "I wish I could have fought you properly. I hope that you don't mind that I had to use a bit of a cheat."
Then time started flowing again.
The lizardmen all revealed shocked looks on their faces as they found that I had disappeared from in front of their faces. I had suddenly disappeared without a trace, so they quickly started looking for me.
It was the same with the Lizardman King until it found that I was behind it.
The Lizardman King was caught off guard by the fact that I had suddenly appeared behind it, but it didn't hesitate as it controlled the water tentacles to attack.
"Watch out!" Long Shui Ling shouted out when she saw this.
But even when it moved its trident, it found that the water tentacles just didn't move.
The Lizardman King was confused by this until…
There was a sudden spurt of blood that came from the lizardmen guards.
None of them knew what happened, but blood spurted from their throats and they found it hard to breathe.
They didn't know what had happened, but they weren't able to remain standing anymore as they all fell forward while their visions faded.
For their last view, they all looked at me with shocked and confused looks.
The Lizardman King had been looking at its trident when this happened, but then it immediately focused on its subordinates.
It wanted to do something for these subordinates, but then…
There was a spurt of blood that came from the Lizardman King too.
It was just one spurt of blood at first, but then there were several spurts of blood that came from the Lizardman King.
Even if it was powerful, it couldn't remain standing anymore as it suddenly fell to its knees.
It tried to lift itself up with the trident, but the Lizardman King found that it didn't have the strength anymore.
It could only allow its body to fall forward off the trident.
As it fell, it too looked at me with a gaze filled with shock and confusion as it didn't understand what had happened.
Once all of the lizardmen had fallen, Long Shui Ling asked with a shocked look on her face, "What happened just now?"
