Chapter 593 Addressing the ‘Lizard in the Room’ I

"Poison doesn't work on me, Lizard!"

His words were accompanied by an aura-filled slash towards the Lizardman's left side, striking its torso unimpeded and sending its body hurtling through the air.

But despite landing a successful attack, Evan frowned lightly as he had caught onto what the monster did at the last moment before his blade hit.

'Scales of Resilience...'

Meanwhile, the Lizardman was trying to regain its balance mid-air, however, Evan, Pride and Greed were not the only ones in the room, they had other companions who had been waiting for an opportunity to join the battle.

"Flower Cannon!"

A beam of concentrated magic power tore through the air and crashed onto the Lizardman's torso piercing through the energy coat around its body and hitting its flesh directly.

"Elemental Damage Breach: Positive. Resistance Negation: Lightning and Flames. Life Ice: Soulchill."

Eliza released a trio of debuffs in one breath, half a second before a rose of golden flames bloomed on the exposed torso of the monster.

Kayla's fist barrelled down onto the monster's body, hitting it at the exact same moment the lightning phase of her Electroflame skill hit, resulting in an exponential increase in damage due as the energies flashed back.

Her punch changed the trajectory of its body's flight, also stunning it lightly due to the influx of lightning into its body.

Taking advantage of the residual lightning energy still snaking around its body, Milena activated her unique skill, causing a small match-sized blue flame to light up in front of the monster.

[Hydroflame Ignition.]

**BOOOMMM!!!!

The oxyhydrogen explosion caused a violent burst of energy, igniting further with the residual lightning tendrils and triggering a second, even more, massive explosion that sent the creature to the ground in an instant, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake.

A large shadow was suddenly cast over the entire area, the cause being the massive great sword-wielding humanoid avatar of red greed energy that manifested its upper body with its sword raised overhead.

Without hesitation, the avatar swung the weapon downwards, straight to where the Lizard Lord had crashed down.

Splinters of shattered earth were sent flying as the sword smashed into the ground, however, the owner of the avatar frowned due to the lack of feedback he received.

Just as he considered attacking again, a figure burst out of the smoke and flames, moving away from the party at near-sonic speed. With their superior kinetic visions, they were able to see its appearance as the near unscathed Lizard Lord, jumping backwards and landing simultaneously with its skill's activation.

The butt of the spear it wielded slammed into the ground, sending magic power through it as the earth quaked and fractured, sending shockwaves rippling through the terrain.

Cracks spread out on the surface of the shattering ground, and rocks and debris were sent flying in all directions, turning a section of the boss room into a broken landscape.

It was as if Evan had used his Collapse Skill on the area.

The young hero jumped into the air and created a void step, landing atop it whilst Eliza did the same with her divergent ward. 

As for Greed, the high demon silently shifted his shoulders, releasing a pair of bat-like wings from his back and taking to the skies where the spirits already were.

Like other demons, Greed had a pair of wings that he could use for flight, and so did his sister, Pride.

However, instead of taking to the skies, Pride chose a more, 'Pride-like' way to handle the rapidly spreading terrain destruction.

Streams of her black aura silently escaped her arms and swirled into her sword, after which she finally turned her blood-red eyes in the direction of the incoming earthquake.

And then, a scene that sent ripples of surprise through both her enemy and her allies happened.

The moment the wave of terrain destruction reached her, it stilled. 

What's more, as she kicked off the ground and dashed forward, the previously ruptured earth mended itself in front of her, paving a smooth path for her to reach the Lizard Lord without issues.

Seeing that she had somehow forcefully cancelled its skill, Bhak pulled out the spear from the ground and infused it with aura, before charging forward and executing a fierce thrust towards the woman.

However, Pride easily dodged to the side and sent her sword thrusting towards Bhak's stomach, a strike it deflected by spinning its spear and slashing inwards.

Pride pulled back her weapon and struck out once more, aiming towards the part of its torso where Kayla's earlier attack had left a mark. 

It tried to step aside to dodge, but Pride followed its movements tightly and continued to attack. Bhak sent out a sonic speed swing towards Pride, one she dodged with a timed duck, before dashing into its range and striking it in the shoulder.

The force knocked the monster's body backwards and its feet dragged through the ground, but even so, it kept its eyes on its demon opponent, a decision that proved to be wise after seeing her next actions.

'Aura of Pride: Gale Sword.'

She controlled the formless wind and generated a whirlwind with enough suction force to pull the Lizard Lord's body towards her, nearly knocking it off balance if it didn't use magic to keep its feet planted onto the ground.

Since it didn't come into striking range, Pride used the wind to propel herself into its range before delivering a precise slash that cleaved through the air with incredible speed, striking the Lizard's torso with precision.

As the blade connected, the swirling wind shredded away the protective aura surrounding its scales with ease and then went on to carve the surface of the scales off.

"Hmm? I misjudged the power output. Oh well, it would not happen again."

'Pride Embodiment: Maximum Output.'

An eerie light flashed through her eyes, a similar scene manifesting on her arms as lines of black light spreading like veins momentarily surfaced on her skin.

Immediately, Pride activated Gale Sword once more, ignoring the Lizard Lord's black spear bearing down on her neck. She only gave the weapon a sideways glance before using the swirling wind to blast the monster's body away.

Mid-flight, she then reversed the wind, using the suction force to pull its body towards her once more.

The red lines on her blade seemed to shine brighter as she struck, her hand blurring due to the sheer speed of her attack.

Bhak saw her hand move, and in the next second, it saw eight projected slashes of black aura tearing through the air towards it.

'?!'

It tried countering, but for some reason, its reactions were delayed by a force it could not comprehend.

'Shit…Scalebound Ward!'

The eight slashes slammed into the shimmering magical barrier of scales that manifested in front of it, tearing through it and then the Lizard Lord's actual scales underneath.

A crimson spectacle unfurled before all eyes present as Pride's attacks cleaved into the monster's flesh underneath its scales.

For a moment, the 'splashing blood' obscured its vision, and when it passed, Pride's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Bhak's senses screamed at it, and it quickly rose both its gaze and spear upwards, catching the sight of the demon delivering a multitude of slashes in a somersaulting motion.

Its eyes glowed as it swung its spear rapidly, blocking each of the slashes the demon sent its way until gravity's hold pulled her back to the ground.

What followed was a high-speed clash of sword and spear, one that made the lizard lord painfully aware of one simple fact.

It was good with a spear, but Pride was better with a sword.

Bhak performed a swift circular slash to block one of Pride's aura slashes, before spinning his body to the side a bit and employing its long muscular tail to deliver a wide, sweeping tail swipe at her feet.

Sadly, the demon expected something like that the instant she saw its body move, jumping up lightly to avoid it.

She then stomped down on the monster's tail to hold its body in that position, while her hands infused her sword in aura and delivered an upwards diagonal slash.

Bhak deftly twisted its upper body to evade her attack, then fixed her with narrowed eyes, unleashing a thunderous, earth-shaking bellow.

[ROAAARRRRRRR!!]

Pride's body momentarily stiffened when the sound waves from the roar jolted through her body, providing the Lizard Lord with an opportunity

The monster reacted swiftly by gathering chunks of the shattered earth under its feet towards its fist which it clenched, reforged the rocks into a gauntlet that covered its arm and infused the construct with its potent aura.

Immediately Pride broke out of the light stun effect the roar had, the monster snapped back into balance and threw a punch straight toward her, knocking her off its tail and into the air.

Not even a second later, a great sword slashed down on its still outstretched arm before It could pull it back, forcing it to make the split-second decision of stabbing the flat side of the blade trying to cut its arm off with the tip of its spear, and using the full might of its SS- strength stat to redirect the trajectory of the sword.

Even so, the blade still scraped off a good number of scales off its arm, exposing the flesh underneath.
