Lizardmen are a race of bipedal orcs covered in hard scales.

Adult lizardmen are sturdy, about two meters tall, and their strength is above level one.

Most lizardmen are good at close combat, which is equivalent to the human warrior and knight professions.

But there are also some individual beings who can use magic.

Generally speaking, lizardmen who can use magic are not weak.

They belong to the wise men of the tribe.

Whenever they appear, they will be the leaders of the entire tribe when they grow up.

The chief of the lizardman tribe that Annuo attacked happened to be the wisest among the lizardmen.

It has always been in the 'yurt' shaped wooden house closest to the waterhole.

Although it was already dark, the Lizardman Chief was still reading a book under the light.

This time it brought out the elite troops of the tribe because it heard that the humans in Warrengel have been more active recently, so it prepared to hunt humans.

If it could capture a human wizard alive and learn how to practice human magic, it would make a fortune.

"The world of magic is so vast!"

The Lizardman Chief closed the tattered magic book that he got from somewhere and sighed.

"If my magic can be further improved, the tribe will move towards a more glorious future under my leadership. It is not impossible for them to become the top tribe of the orcs!"

Just as it was dreaming, it suddenly heard some unusual movement outside the cabin.

“Ahhh~!”

A low groan similar to that of pain.

Although the sound was small, the lizardman chief still heard it.

"An enemy invasion?"

Being on the front line, the Lizardman Chief was very alert.

It quickly picked up the wooden staff holding the blue crystal at its feet, put on a shield for itself, and began calling the name of the guard outside.

After receiving no response, it immediately let out a piercing scream.

The lizardmen who were sleeping in the other wooden houses woke up immediately after hearing the sound, turned over, picked up the weapons beside them and rushed out.

When the lizardmen came out, they were suddenly stunned.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air outside.

More than 200 first- and second-level tribesmen around the camp all fell to the ground and did not move.

Except for the nearly one hundred lizardmen sleeping in a dozen wooden houses, all the other lizardmen had been killed by the ghost's sneak attack.

"Be careful of those flying things, they are enemies!"

A lizardman saw the ghost floating in the sky and quickly gave a warning.

More than twenty third-level lizardmen immediately came to the wooden house where the lizardman chief was.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their chief come out safely.

The Lizardman Chieftain used a perception skill, and then the pitch-black night became clear in his eyes.

The surrounding environment and the ghosts emitting magical fluctuations appeared in its field of vision.

"These are the ghost tribes from the demon world. Why are they attacking us?"

The Lizardman Chieftain had a gloomy look on his face.

Although they are all monsters, it is not uncommon for them to kill each other.

It also didn't realize that humans were manipulating all this behind the scenes.

"Even if you are a creature from the demon world, you must pay with your life for killing so many of my people!"

The Lizardman Chief shouted angrily, and the top of his staff made a crackling sound.

When a ghost floated by, a lightning ball the size of a human head flew towards the ghost at an extremely fast speed.

Snap!

The ghost that was hit by the thunder ball didn't even let out a scream and was killed instantly!

"Level 21, and can also use lightning magic!"

An Nuo, who was hiding in the distance, was shocked when he saw this scene.

Although he guessed during the day that there might be some higher-level lizardmen in the cabin, he estimated that they were only around level 20!

According to his plan, forty level 20 ghosts, with the help of the [Fury] skill, would first quietly deal with the first and second level lizardmen outside.

Then we will deal with the second and third level lizardmen sleeping in the wooden house.

Unexpectedly, during Youpo's action, the lizardman guarding the door of the wooden house next to the pond noticed something was wrong.

An Nuo quickly ordered the three ghosts to focus their fire on the opponent.

One uses [Intimidation], one uses [Confusion], and one uses [Soul Sucking].

But unexpectedly, the other party still made a slight noise, which was noticed by the lizardman in the wooden house.

"The leader is a level 21 lizardman who can use lightning magic. There are 23 level 3 lizardmen beside him, and the remaining 60-odd are all level 2!

I am only one step away from the fourth level. This situation is worth using the [Power of the King]!"

An Nuo made a decision in his mind instantly.

This is different from the previous battle against Horace, the fourth-level warrior from Selby City, when he rescued the elves.

Lightning magic is extremely fast, even the ghost cannot react in time.

Moreover, after being hit, lightning instantly spreads throughout the body, the crystal shatters, and death occurs instantly.

It is obvious that this magic is very powerful!

If Youhun does not use [Power of the King], he will most likely be killed by the opponent first.

It just so happens that all the lizardmen are gathered together now.

A group of ghosts are attracting the attention of the Lizardman Chieftain in front.

There were two more who, under Annuo's command, broke through from the rear and approached quietly.

When the distance was close enough, the two spirits immediately accelerated and approached.

After sensing a strong magical fluctuation behind him, the Lizardman Chief quickly set up a spherical protective shield around himself and wrapped himself in it.

Some higher-level third-order lizardmen also sensed the danger and instinctively fled in all directions.

boom!

White light comes on.

There was a violent vibration, and the pool of water nearby shook a few times.

"It turns out that he is not so easy to deal with!"

When Anno saw dozens of green souls and several yellow souls flying towards him, he knew that the magic-capable lizardman was not dead.

The opponent is level four, and the color of his soul is orange!

Although the magician is physically weak, he has several shield skills.

Swish!

A bolt of lightning flew out from the smoke and struck the ghost in the air.

Lightning continued to emit from the ghost that was hit and connected to the other one.

The lightning hit five ghosts in succession before it stopped.

The cores of the five ghost souls were directly shattered and disappeared into white light.

If it was before, Annuo would definitely feel distressed.

But now, Anno has reached level 21.

Although the few yellow-level souls just now were all level 16 or 17 lizardman souls, Annuo only needed a few hundred experience points to upgrade.

He has now reached the fourth level!

Physical fitness has been comprehensively enhanced.

Annuo clearly felt that this time the enhancement was stronger than any previous time.

In the past, when upgrading across levels, the overall physical fitness would be enhanced by about one-fold.

But after the enhancement just now, Annuo felt that his strength had at least increased by two times.

"No wonder mid-level professionals are so strong!"

Anno recalled the time when he was beaten up by Horace.

If he hadn't captured a lot of ghosts in Gray Dream Village, the power of [Power of the King] would be comparable to that of fourth-level magic, and Annuo would not be his opponent in that battle.

The lizardman in front of him was also a fourth-level warrior.

This also explains why it can kill the third-level ghost so easily and defend against the [Power of the King].

The fourth-level shield's defense is also very strong!

"Has it reached the fourth level?"

A familiar voice suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Really awake!" An Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Wait for me to get rid of this fourth-level monster first, then we can talk!"

After saying that, a heart of the undead appeared in Annuo's hand!

This is the undead heart of Asa, a level 25, fourth-order zombie that was killed by Sylvia during the zombie war that besieged Valkham.

"Although you are very strong, fortunately I also have a fourth-level summon!"

As the light flickered, a festering undead zombie appeared in front of Annuo.

"Long time no see, Asa!"
