You have Entered the Dungeon

of the Lizardmen Lord

╚═══════ ≪ °❈° ≫ ═══════╝

 

Water splashed as Kibo stepped through the portal and onto the other side. A nearby school of fish darted away. He spun in a circle and noticed he was surrounded by a shallow pool of water which reached as far as his eyes could see. At the end of the horizon, he noticed things which seemed like trees.

 

‘Could I be in a floodplain? I guess learning a little about the Dungeon before entering does help a lot. Good thing I bought some waterproof boots.’’ Kibo thought with a satisfied look.

 

He looked towards the clear blue skies, and the blazing sun was directly above him. Trying to avoid the bright rays of light he looked back down, and in the corner of his eyes, he noticed something out of the ordinary. He squinted his eyes, and far away he barely noticed buildings on stilts and a few things which moved around. 

 

“Are those lizardmen?” he told himself. His breathing got heavy as he started to feel extremely hot and he proceeded to wipe off his sweat on his forehead 

 

“They are pretty far away, and this humidity will kill me before I reach any of the lizardmen. I should finish this up quick.”

 

“Awaken”

 

Kibo unconsciously only awakened Zana and black smoke appeared just as quickly as it dispersed into the surrounding air. She was sitting down as she looked towards the sky, he smiled and thought, ‘she looks majestic as ever’.

 

Not wanting to waste any time he used Leap to jump onto the back of his summon. They raced towards the lizardmen camp.

 

As they approached closer to the camp, he saw numerous buildings on wooden stilts and a large hut in the centre,  ‘probably the home of the boss’ he wondered. There were multiple fish farms in the outer areas of the camp and some guard towers in the corners.

 

‘Hmm, it’s no fun if I send Zana straight in to clear this up, I need to test my goblins teamwork. He awakened the 12 remaining Goblins and the Goblin Lord. A row of black smoke appeared, which attracted the attention of the patrolling guards.

 

The lizardmen charged towards them with spears, and they lunged their weapons towards the black monsters. However, to their astonishment, the holes in the goblins' bodies reformed. The lizardmen gasped in surprise as they saw the fat Goblin Lord appear right in front of them. 

 

He swung his thick, wooden club directly towards the heads of the two guards which killed them instantly. He pointed his club forward, and the goblins charged into the camp. 

 

“Never dying troops, it’s like I have an immortal army. Maybe there is a limit to how many troops I could have out? Well, until I reach those limits, I don’t know for sure. For now, all I can do is just sit back while my summons slaughters my enemies.”

“...Ooh, it seems like they cleared 50% of the Dungeon, they took a lot longer than I had expected.” 

“Who dares attack my camp and slaughter my people!” The Lizardmen Lord steps out of his hut as he held on a golden tipped trident. He looked toward the black monsters before the larger one emerged. It shook him as it resembled someone he hasn’t seen in hundreds if not thousands of years. “No could it be?” He thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion it was impossible.

 

He leapt off the wooden bridge and splashed into the water below. This was the perfect environment for lizardmen as they could move the most efficiently in shallow pools of water. He darted forward in a straight line as he swung his spear in an arc towards the smaller goblins. All of them were sent flying to the side as they crashed into the stilts of the wooden huts.

 

Not sparing any time he jumped forward as he lunged his spear forward towards the chest of the Goblin Lord. Which was instantly blocked by the club. The Lizardmen Lord instinctively used the club to bounce back to a safer distance. 

 

“Ho, so you’re a little better than the smaller tra-” He was cut off as multiple strikes hit his legs he looked down to see the black goblins still alive and panicked as he quickly kicked them away with his strength.

 

“What the hell I thought I killed them?” He looked up “Ar-” A wooden club was heading straight towards him. He instantly stepped to the side as he saw the huge wooden club move right in front of his face at incredible speeds. His eyes widened from surprised as he thought how he narrowly escaped, however before he even had a chance to breathe the trajectory changed as the Goblin Lord used all his strength to swing it to the side. The Lizardmen instinctively crouched as he lunged his spear into the right leg of the Goblin Lord.

 

They both moved away and created distance only for them to charge at one another and end up in a heated duel. During those moments the Lizardmen Lord remembered flashes of moments from his past. The moves the black monster in front of him were making were the same as his old rival. As the fighting lasted longer he became more convinced who was in front of him was him. He had no idea how or why but it was definitely him.

Kibo was patrolling the outer perimeters of the camp to make sure no lizardmen escaped until he heard loud noises from objects clashing with one another.

 

Cling. Clang. Cling. Bang. Clang.

 

He headed into the camp on Zana's back to take a closer look and noticed the Goblin Lord and the Lizardmen Lord in a heated duel. The Lizardmen Lord was more skilled, however, Kibo was not interested in playing fair. He instructed Zana to finish him up without tearing away his limbs.

 

Kibo leapt off the back, and Zana rapidly charged forward, the Lizardmen Lord did not have any time to react before being hit with sharp claws at lightning speeds from directly above. Already worn out and bruised from the Goblin Lord supposedly infinite stamina, the attack from Zana finally left him on his last few breaths.

 

He thought ‘All the moves are the same? Is it possible he has been freed? But he hasn’t spoken once we got here. He is covered in a cloud of dark mist. But judging on his fat outline I know I can never mistake him for someone else. It’s definitely hi-’

 

“AGH!” He moaned in pain as blood came pouring out of his mouth. He slowly looked back and towards the person in the cloak. His vision slowly fading away barely making out the approaching person.. In his final breaths, he whispered, “take me with you!”

Kibo started to chuckle. This raid had two purposes: one was to test out the goblins teamwork which needed some work, but the second was to increase his summons. In the previous raid, Zana had torn more than half the goblins apart, and they were unable to be awakened. 

 

Kibo looked around and started to smirk. The message Awaken appeared on over 90% of the lizardmen which laid dead in the camp.

 

“Unlike last time, this was a success!” He excitedly mentioned.

 

“Awaken”

 

All around the camp, the bodies disappeared as they turned into mist, and the familiar black smoke rose from the ground as it mixed with the mist. The forms of their previous selves reformed as they became hidden in a cloak of black smoke.

“This is perfect. My ranks have increased with the additional 75 Lizardmen and their Lord added to them."

 

Lizardmen are stronger than Goblins, but on their own, they would only be considered higher-end D-class on Earth. In groups they are harder to deal with so only C-class teams or above can take them on. Now I can let the smaller troops attack while the Lords protect my back!” 

 

Kibo quickly panicked as he realised he needed to pick up the energy stones before the Dungeon closes. The message said he had received 32 low-tier energy stones and 1 mid-tier stone. His summons went out to find the stones and quickly placed them into a sack. When they had finished, Kibo returned all his summons and left the Dungeon.

 

“Well that was fun, maybe I can get another boss on my first try ag…”

 

Kibo looked around and became nervous as he saw himself surrounded by guards, and directly in front of the guards stood the Crimson Hunters and Lynessa. Ayane was clutching onto a piece of paper as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
