183: Killer Of The Masses (3)

Killer Of The Masses (3)

'I should've been more careful with my mana,' Arnold thought, still gazing at the cloudless sky... trying to remember what happened an hour ago.2

The minute he was overwhelmed by the swarm of lizardmen, Arnold gave up the idea of being 'discrete' and went all out on his enemies.

First, he froze the entire region around him using the ice control. Doing this restricted the movement of the bigger lizardmen while it completely stopped the attacks from the little Tozards as the thick layer of ice covered them up. With the Tozards temporarily out of his way, Arnold's attention shifted towards the 10 remaining dragonkins who simultaneously charged at him.

He then started shooting fiery bullets at them as fire was one of their weaknesses. The bullets instantly killed 4 of them while the remaining 6 jumped backwards while taking out something like a small black ball from the folds of their robe and threw it towards him.

Arnold instinctively dodged the attack but the lizardmen behind him weren't so lucky. As soon as the ball hit the marshy ground it exploded, launching metal shards in his direction although mist of his body remained unscathed, he wasn't quick enough and some of the shards got buried in his left foot while the rest killed the lizardmen behind him.

This was the reason why Arnold had been limping after the fight as these shards weren't ordinary pieces of metal but the tip of Tozard tongues which poisoned his bloodstream.

Taking advantage of this moment a grey lizardman, who had been injured by the metal shards, stabbed its dagger on Arnold's right shoulder but Arnold's sturdy robes saved him from any fatal damage, the grey lizardman, however, wasn't that lucky.

As soon as the dagger touched Arnold's robe, a sword made up of wind popped behind the lizardman and slashed it twice on its back, draining the lizardman of it's remaining HP.

Some lizardmen were carrying bows and crossbows attacked him, either hiding behind the trees or other lizardmen. At this time all of the remaining 6 lizardmen bombarded him with the Black grenades. Arnold soon realised the danger he was in and quickly raised a mud wall to protect himself. Angered by their nuisance, Arnold responded with his own grenades and harpoons.

Looking at Arnold was like looking at the devil. His flames coupled with the grenades, harpoons and his bullets soon the area around him was covered in flames and lava. All of his enemies had been burnt to a crisp, including the Tozards.

At this time his automatons had arrived at the scene and were fighting delightfully against their master. Once the fight was over, Arnold instructed them to go and look around for enemies that might be lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of his weakened state.

'Gotta admit it though, it was fun... hehe.' He laughed but as he did, his felt a sharp pain in his chest most likely source of the pain being his broken ribs, 'I've healed enough now... let's open up the void and get inside and then I would check the interface for rewards.'

Rewards were the most important thing after he almost died trying to gain them.

He opened up a portal but he soon realised he couldn't move on his own, a few shards were still stuck in his legs and the poison was still in effect making it impossible for him to move on his own. The poison within the shards also slowed his healing process, thus his broken bones were taking this long to heal. So he summoned a few of the automatons back.

"Go and fetch... oww... a stretcher or something... from inside." He instructed two of the automatons who immediately went inside the void and soon came back with the stretcher, followed by Natasha at their toes.

'Looks like she was worried about me... cute, ow ow ow!' Arnold tried his best not to laugh but failed, and his laugh was briefly followed by wincing in pain.

Natasha was the first to reach to him and quickly went to work, that is... started smothering her helpless master within her endless cleavage.

"Stof thish instuntly!" Arnold's muffled voice echoed through her cleavage. (TL: Stop this instantly!) (Author's note: I thought I'd write it like that to show that he was being smothered hard, lel.)

"I absolutely will not do that, the master can punish me later for my ignorance!" Succubus replied and forced her Master's head even deeper into her cleavage, "If I let you go, then how would I heal you up?"

"Whach?" (TL: What?)

Arnold then realised that his chest wasn't hurting as bad as before. His wounds had almost disappeared, not even the scars remained... it was as if nothing had happened to him before. He was as good as new!

'I didn't know, Natasha could do something like this. Nonetheless, I'm thankful for it... apart from the smothering part... that's a bit weird.'

After constant smothering for five minutes, Arnold was finally able to stand on his feet. He still felt a bit wobbly but it wasn't troublesome. He thanked Natasha, and her face got flushed with redness. He then called his automatons back. Once everyone had been assembled there, Arnold and his summons returned to the void, leaving the scorched swamp behind.

At The Naga Queen's chamber...

"What do you mean you couldn't locate him!" The Queen roared, thrashing her tail all around her chamber.

She was already enraged by the actions of those filthy lizardmen, but the failure of her soldiers to locate the man she claimed to be their king, enraged her even more.

"He was alone wasn't he?" She murmured, yet her domineering voice sent shivers through the spines of her subjects.

"Y-Yes, m-my Queen..." Vija, the female commander of her army replied.

"And he was injured?"

"W-We cannot confirm it at the m-moment b-but that's the most likely outcome of t-their battle..."

"And yet you slithering idiots couldn't FIND HIM?" The Queen thrashed her tail again and killed one of her soldiers in an instant.

"W-We tried our best to track him down and bring the human with us but-"

"What did you call him?"

"I apologise for my arrogance, your Slitheriness. I meant to say, our king..." Vija profusely apologised.

"Don't ever disrespect him, or it would be the last mistake of your useless life." The Queen gave a glare to Vija before speaking again, "Now leave me alone for a while..."

"As you wish, my queen." Everyone immediately rushed out of the chamber.

'No matter what... one day, I'll make you mine my love.'
