This Clueless Hero

My actual actions were unclear to me.

Everything that occurred felt like a dream.

What I could recall happened was that more stalks of grass were being eaten.

Along with that, my body was frequently right next to the massive lizards and my mind was almost constantly casting the teleportation spell.

My vision was getting more blurry but my skin was getting more sensitive.

Soon my vision was a complete blur, but my skin could feel movement even from a slight movement.

My eyes closed, but my body could tell what my surroundings were.

There were massive lizards chasing after me, some of which had opened their jaws.

My figure would disappear, reappear on a hill, and after some stalks of grass were taken, it would disappear again.

My body was getting stronger, while my mind was hanging by a thread.

My limbs were trembling.

I wasn't sure why. Was it exhaustion? Or was it a side effect of the grass?

...Perhaps it was both.

At some point my stake had dropped, leaving my hands free.

There was a massive lizard in front of me with its jaws open.

Then my figure was behind him.

Both my arms wrapped around the lizard's tail.

And lifted it up.

The lizard was struggling, shaking back and forth in an attempt to throw me off.

However, my grip was stubborn.

The massive lizard was held up high in the air, then slammed into the ground.

The rock floor cracked and shattered pieces of stone were scattered throughout the air.

Then the massive lizard was held up in the air again.

Its struggle was noticeably weaker than before but slammed into the ground all the same.

The massive lizard was hardly moving, but there was another one with its jaws open behind me.

My arms held tight onto the massive lizard that had one foot in the grave.

My body spun on the heel of my foot and flung one massive lizard straight to another.

My body was thrown back from the impact while the massive lizard's jaw was clogged by another lizard.

A roar came from the depths of my lungs, making the surrounding massive lizards freeze.

The cave started to tremble and the massive lizards began to back away.

My vision cleared up and turned to look towards the trembling.

...The lizard king had awakened.

The lizard king slowly raised to stand at its full height, fifteen meters, with a tiny crown on the top of its head.

It stood on two feet and had a long tail. There were only two minuscule arms attached to its body, but more than made up for it with its massive maw.

My mind began to clear up.

The height alone was quite terrifying.

It made me wonder how I thought it was possible to kill this thing.

The lizard king roared.

My ears began to bleed, but my consciousness stayed. The roar continued to echo throughout the expanse.

I was in a stare-off with the lizard king for a few moments.

The lizard king suddenly bolted towards me, lowering its massive jaw at me.

My figure disappeared before it was crushed.

The lizard king paused.

The crystal that was wrapped around my arm began to wiggle.

In fact, the whole cave floor was trembling.

The crystal suddenly tore through the layers of cloth keeping it touching my skin and many rocks flew towards the lizard king.

My vision suddenly disappeared, but my skin could still feel the tremors in the air to know what was happening.

The rocks began to coalesce around the lizard king and form a thick layer made from rocks on its skin.

A frown appeared on my face.

...What was I going to do now?

The lizard king charged at me.

A hint of savagery awoke in my heart.

There was nothing left now.

When the lizard snapped at me with its jaws, my figure had already disappeared.

My figure reappeared next to the lizard king's feet and my fist was thrown towards the leg.

My fist collided against the stone carapace with a loud thump.

The stone cracked, but other than that, there was no damage.

On the contrary, my fist was bleeding from abrasions that covered it.

Although the bleeding quickly stopped, a hint of hopelessness filled my heart.

Even if the lizard king stood still and let me hit it, I still might die before it did.

A massive tail was being swung right at me.

Before my bones were crushed, my figure disappeared and reappeared behind it.

There was a pull from the wind from behind the tail, making me stumble.

By the time my feet were firmly on the ground, the lizard king had already turned around.

My legs tried to carry me away, but the lizard king's jaw was already about to reach me.

My figure disappeared once again.

My legs were running as fast as they could, towards where the lizard king was initially resting.

If I could just make it to the stalks of grass...

The lizard king paused and watched me run. Though puzzled why it did not chase, my legs did not slow.

My steps went over a hill, letting me see over its crest...

To see a wall.

There was a wall of rock that was blocking where the plants of the lizard king were.

Seems like my intentions were seen through...

My steps did not slow and I prepared to charge into the wall with my shoulder.

My heart was pounding and wondering how I got myself backed into a corner.

There was a loud thump when my shoulder collided with the wall.

The wind was knocked out of me and my shoulder was stinging, but there was not even a crack on the wall.

With my last hope dashed, panic started to settle in.

What could I do?

The lizard king stopped playing around and chased after me.

Its steps thundered across the expanse.

It was like every footfall matched the heavy pounding of my heart.

This endeavor appeared to be hopeless...

But...

So what if it was hopeless?

I ran straight towards the charging lizard king.

Its giant maw lowered, in an attempt to scoop me up.

Again, my figure disappeared.

I was right under the lizard king, but my steps did not cease.

After a few moments, the tail was right above me.

With grit teeth, my figure suddenly appeared on top of the tail.

I began scaling up the lizard king.

The lizard king began whipping the tail back and forth. My feet held on for a few swings but were soon flung off.

While in the air, my eyes widened and my pupils constricted.

My figure appeared back on the lizard king's tail.

Honestly, I had no idea what I was trying to accomplish.

My steps continued onward without purpose.

They simply moved forward because they refused to stop.

My feet were on the lizard king's back, trying to maintain balance.

The lizard king began to charge towards a nearby wall.

My body was swaying back and forth, my steps were scattered about, like a drunk.

As for where the wall would end up being, I was not sure.

Although I could feel tremors, the walls weren't releasing any tremors right now.

After a few moments of hesitation, my legs bent down and catapulted me up.

My body was launched over five meters into the air and the wind was brushing hard past my face.

There was a loud crash.

There was a crumbling sound coming from the shattered rocks on the lizard king's head. Unlike the rocks on the lizard king, the cave walls were completely unscathed.

Sadly, though the rocks were in pieces, they still protected the lizard king.

The air around me was distorting.

Suddenly, I was on top of the lizard king's back again.

My mind was muddled but my steps were stubborn.

My thoughts were going through all the experiences I had been through.

Every perilous fight in my mind.

An image of an eagle flashed, then a wolf.

My head shook.

There was not a significant difference in strength in those fights, not to mention magic was available.

Many battles flashed in my mind, but in most cases, the Evil Null spell was what helped me pull through.

Think... Think...

...That fish.

The pepper had directly caused the translucent fish to explode last time. Not to mention, it almost killed me.

There was nothing cold for this lizard king to prevent the effects of the pepper.

But... would it really work on something this size?

Well, there was not much of a choice left.

My hand grasped the two peppers encased in ice.

The air around me distorted and I appeared on top of the lizard king's head.

Before it started to shake its head around, I leaped off its head.

The lizard king looked up at me and opened its jaws wide.

My hand cracked the ice encasing the peppers and flung the two peppers into the Lizard king's mouth.

Hopefully, this works.
