Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

77. Lizardman Warrior Commander

#77. Lizardman Warrior Commander

There are numerous gates on Earth.

There are many different types of gates and the environments inside them are also very different, but most gates have one thing in common.

It’s a monster.

There is a monster inside the gate.

A special life form that has blind hostility towards humans, craves blood and flesh, and possesses unique characteristics that make it difficult to think of it as a normal life form.

People called such creatures ‘monsters’.

The gates are rated based on the danger level of this monster.

Basically, there are seven grades using the alphabet.

[ S ] [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ]

It is classified into seven categories and grouped together.

[ Top ]

[ Lieutenant ]

[ Sub ]

It is reclassified once again into three levels.

[ F ], [ E ], [ D ] classes are ＜lower gates＞

[C] and [B] grades ＜Middle Gate＞

[A] and [S] class gates are classified as ＜upper gates＞.

There is a reason for this reclassification.

This is because the risk of the gate increases rapidly when moving from lower to middle and from middle to upper.

Also, the difficulty required to conquer increases within the ranks.

Let me explain briefly.

If we list the difficulty of the gates when the difficulty of a typical F-class gate is set to 1,

“Gate Difficulty”

[ F-Class ] :「 1 」

[E-class]:「 2 」

[ D-Class ] :「 4 」

[ C-class ] :「 20 」

[ Grade B ] :「 60 」

[ Grade A ] :「 300 」

[ S-Class ] :「 1500 」

It becomes like this.

That is, the difficulty is…

Lower gate.

[ F ] → [ E ] → [ D ] increases by two times,

In the section [D] → [C] where the rank is exceeded, it is multiplied by 5.

Lieutenant Gate.

[ C ] → [ B ] is 3 times.

The rank from [ B ] to [ A ] is 5 times higher.

Upper gate.

[ A ] → [ S ] is multiplied by 5.

The difficulty level of the F-class gate is 1, which means that a first-year academy cadet can clear it on his/her own.

D-class can be cleared alone by a third-year academy cadet who is skilled in combat.

E-rank is a difficulty level suitable for a beginner hero who has just passed the hero exam to clear on his own.

So what about C and B classes?

To clear C-rank, you need the power of 1 mid-rank hero or 5 beginner heroes.

B-class requires the power of three mid-level heroes or 15 beginner heroes.

Even a regular 3rd year Academy cadet can take on a C-class monster, and those with talent can take on a B-class monster on their own. However, at the cadet level, it is impossible to clear a C-class gate or a B-class gate on your own.

What is the reason?

Because there are a lot of monsters?

Because the gate is wide?

no.

It is because of the existence of [Boss Monster].

Even if you can deal with C-class and B-class monsters, the reason why you can’t clear C-class and B-class gates at the level of a cadet.

This is because in order to clear the gate of that level, you must deal with a boss monster that is much stronger than a normal entity.

In the case of a C-class gate, a monster with the same level of strength as the monsters that appear in a B-class gate appears as a boss monster.

In the case of a B-class gate, it appears with the strength of a monster that appears in an A-class gate.

And the same goes for the Lizardman Warrior Leader, the boss mob of the Lizardman habitat.

‘… A class A monster. Damn it.’

The Lizardman Warrior Leader is a guy with the power of a Class A monster. He is not just any average guy, but a guy who ranks high in strength.

Although Cynthia has surpassed the level of an Academy cadet, she has not yet acquired the qualifications of a hero. Although she has grown a lot, she lacks experience and is still incomplete in many areas. It would be somewhat difficult for her to face the Lizardman Warchief.

If you simply calculate it, there are dozens of regular academy cadets that can’t catch him.

Even if we assume Cynthia’s power is at the level of a mid-level hero… it’s impossible. We’ll need two more Cynthia’s to catch that guy.

‘The only thing worth looking forward to is… the fact that there are bodyguards. Judging from his condition, he doesn’t seem like he can fight right away, but it’s also a bit odd to wait for the other guys… .’

I racked my brain to find a way out of the situation, but there was no solution.

From noble mtl dot com

It was truly a desperate situation.

I finally escaped from a group of lizardmen, only to run into a boss mob? That was unlucky.

‘If only I had a little more time… I could catch him. How is there no way…?’

I wondered if there was any way to stall for time against the Lizardman Warchief. Even if Cynthia stepped in, it would only last a few seconds.

Moreover, the situation becomes worse if you encounter another group of lizardmen in this wide open field.

You have to fight against boss mobs and other lizardmen as well.

‘Is there really no way… . Damn it.’

A bipedal lizard with four arms and a huge body. He was slowly moving towards us.

He walked towards us slowly, very slowly, with his eyes shining coldly and a thick murderous aura.

He didn’t seem to be willing to let us go after killing the lizardmen. I felt like I should run away, holding on to a sliver of hope, but before I could say that, Cynthia stepped forward.

“… Step back.”

The words came out of Cynthia’s mouth as she stood there. She stepped forward with a strong determination towards the Lizardman warrior leader.

***

Cynthia thought.

‘How can I kill that monster?’

He became stronger.

Compared to just a month ago, and even a week ago, her skills were growing day by day beyond comparison.

He was talented and worked hard continuously.

I cut down on sleep and eliminated unnecessary time.

Her work was an extension of her studies and training.

‘You can do it. No, you have to do it!’

This is a position from which there is no retreat.

You can neither run away nor expect mercy from your enemies.

If so, there is only one answer.

‘We have to fight it head on and win.’

Knock down any enemies blocking your path.

Whether it’s a B-class monster or an A-class monster!

A god of monstrous strength and chaos.

Cynthia’s magical power spreads through every vein of her body, following her guidance. It’s something she’s never tried before.

It is so dangerous that if you do it wrong, your body could explode right away.

But it has to be done.

Only by trying this and succeeding will it become possible.

‘Change!’

Chapter 2, Taking Change to the Extreme… No, Beyond the Extreme, Going Beyond Limits and Taking It to a New Realm.

The five senses and brain assist in improving the lacking abilities through the ‘blessing of balance’.

Crack- Crack-

Cynthia’s muscles twitched and extreme pain struck her. Her beautiful face twisted and blood flowed from her tightly shut mouth.

‘I have to hold on… I have to keep going like this, in this state, if I have any chance of winning…!’

The four arms of the lizardman.

The swords held in his arms were shot at Cynthia.

Four curved swords headed towards Cynthia with a force that threatened to tear her apart.

“Human, krrrrr! Die!”

Kwaang! The Lizardman warrior shouted as his sword struck the spot where Cynthia had been.

The dirt flew up and dust rose.

If Cynthia had collided with the sword, it would have been an impact that would have left her unscathed.

‘… I held on.’

But Cynthia persevered.

Change – This was because the entire body was made stronger than steel through the form of iron.

“Human Keruk! The sword won’t go in…! You’re really good! Keruk!”

The Lizardman warrior leader glared at Cynthia with a sinister glare.

Of course, it would be Cynthia who had brutally murdered her own people. Of course, he would want to tear her to pieces and kill her.

“Hey, let’s try to hold on to this too, kekekeke!”

The Lizardman warrior’s arm moved dazzlingly. Four swords shot toward Cynthia in unpredictable movements as if dancing.

Kak, ka …

There was a sound of metal clashing with metal, and blood spurted out. Cynthia’s body was extremely strengthened, but her magical power was slowly being consumed and her strength was weakening.

‘This can’t go on… I have to join the attack too… .’

Cynthia was currently straining herself just by maintaining her physical strength, but if she didn’t strain herself further, she wouldn’t be able to attack the enemy.

‘You can do it… You can do it!’

She grabbed the bow with burning determination. It would be impossible to fall from this distance. Then, the lizardman could change target and aim for Han Seong-jin.

You have to finish it off at close range.

Cynthia’s fist clenched and her great strength was transmitted to the bow.

‘I’ll finish it all in one go!’

Cynthia was planning to squeeze out her strength to the limit and strike the Lizardman warrior with her bow.

A moment where the blow is endured and a gap is revealed.

“now…!”

Cynthia’s bow flew towards the side of the Lizardman warrior.

Just then, her bow was about to strike the lizardman.

“Sia, bow down!”

Han Seong-jin’s voice was heard from behind.

At the same time, she felt the heat that seemed to burn everything. Cynthia was about to strike the lizardman with her bow, but when she heard Han Seong-jin’s words, she instinctively crouched down.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh-

“… … ?”

“Keruk?”

As I crouched down and looked back, I saw the flames of hell behind me, along with the heat that seemed to burn everything. Hellfire had manifested in the present world.

“… Ke, ker, rk?”

While Cynthia was fighting, Han Sung-jin tore the Hellfire Scroll and waited for the casting to be completed.

And finally, Hellfire, whose casting was completed, descended upon the earth.

Hellfire emitted a fierce flame that seemed ready to engulf the targeted Lizardman warrior leader at any moment, binding him with its magical power.

A dark red fire reminiscent of hellfire.

The strongest magic in the fire realm, which can only be used by wizards who have reached the highest level, was directed at the Lizardman warrior leader.

“Get out there, you little shit! Get a taste of the $500 million scroll!”
