10-Tough Fight

*This lizard man is different from the others. If I want to get out of here alive, I have to use everything I have.*

The lizard man was looking at Swain, and Swain was examining the lizard man's face details.

The lizard man's eyes were blood red and he had a large scar above his left eye. The color of his eyes and the scar on his eye made him look very scary.

Meanwhile, the lizard man was also scrutinizing Swain.

"How many villages did you destroy before you came here? One, two, three?" the lizard man asked.

As he said these, there was no expression on his face, but his anger was evident from his tone of voice.

Swain, seeing that the lizard man was talking to him, thought this could be an opportunity.

"Come out" Swain whispered. His voice was so low that the lizard man couldn't hear him.

The lizard man didn't hear Swain, but he noticed that his lips were moving.

"Did you say something?" he asked.

"Yes. I destroyed a few villages before I came here, unfortunately I don't remember exactly how many villages I destroyed." Swain lied blatantly.

The lizard man's face showed a disgusting smile when he heard these words.

"Kekekekekekek, you're quite funny." the lizard man chuckled.

"Now! Tell me who you are and why you are in this world!" the lizard man said.

As he said this, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a very serious expression.

Swain had a plan in his mind when he heard the lizard man's words.

"I came to finish the job that Asgard left unfinished." Swain said, putting on a serious face.

He could use this lizard man to find out why Roland didn't destroy the lizard men a long time ago.

To do this, he had to show a very good acting.

The lizard man raised his eyebrows in surprise for a moment when he heard Swain's words. But the lizard man quickly composed himself and continued to look at Swain seriously.

"So Asgard learned this." the lizard man said.

"Yes." Swain answered.

"Asgard may have learned this but they made a big mistake." the lizard man said. At the end of his sentence, a small smile appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about?" Swain asked.

"Kekekekekekke"

The lizard man chuckled when he heard Swain's question.

"If Asgard wants to destroy the lizard men, they should have sent someone stronger than you." the lizard man said and charged at Swain.

This lizard man's speed was much higher than his fellow race.

*So fast!* Swain thought, in astonishment.

The lizard man reached Swain in the blink of an eye and swung his silver spear swiftly.

The lizard man's silver spear looked very sharp and it was shining ominously in the dark.

"BARRIER!" Swain shouted, in panic.

As the silver spear was moving towards Swain's neck, a red, round barrier appeared in front of him and blocked the silver spear's path.

When the silver spear and the red barrier collided, the barrier trembled but resisted the spear's power.

Because of the impact, the silver spear vibrated and recoiled.

*ATTACK!*

Swain had hidden two crows behind him and they came out and quickly moved towards the lizard man who had lost his balance.

The lizard man, who couldn't recover yet, saw two crows moving fast and hitting his chest and exploding.

There was a small energy explosion and the lizard man was dragged back a meter.

Swain had created these crows and he had hidden them behind him during his conversation with the lizard man.

*I have to make this skill stronger as soon as possible.* Swain thought and grabbed a spear from the ground and moved towards the lizard man who was stunned.

The crow creation skill, although good in terms of damage and disruption, had to be very simple in the commands it received.

If the skill was more advanced, Swain could have given more detailed orders to the crows.

For example, one of the crows could attack the foot, and the other could attack the hand.

But he couldn't do that right now.

Swain swung his spear and aimed for the neck of the lizard man who had knelt on one knee.

The spear was about to touch the lizard man's neck, when the lizard man showed an incredible reflex and dodged the spear and jumped back, putting some distance between him and Swain.

*Did he dodge that too?*

The physical features that the lizard man showed easily surpassed Swain.

The lizard man looked carefully at Swain and brought one hand to his neck and touched his neck with his finger.

When the lizard man pulled his finger, there was blood on his finger.

Even though he showed an incredible reflex, he couldn't completely escape Swain's attack.

This wound, although nothing more than a scratch, hurt the lizard man's pride.

"I underestimated you. My name is Scar, what's yours?" the lizard man asked.

Swain was a little surprised when he heard these words. After all, none of the lizard men he had encountered so far had a special name for themselves.

"My name is Jericho Swain." Swain said.

"Jericho Swain." Scar whispered and squeezed the spear in his hand.

"Your death will be by my hand!" he shouted angrily and slammed his foot on the ground and threw himself at Swain.

The ground cracked and Scar moved towards Swain like a bullet coming out of a barrel.

Swain's eyes sparkled and he quickly stepped to the right.

Scar's spear grazed Swain's ribs and caused a small wound to form there.

"Agh!" Swain groaned and swung his spear and attacked Scar.

Scar raised his spear quickly and blocked Swain's attack.

DING! (the sound of metals clashing)

The two spears collided in the air and made a disturbing sound.

Thus, the struggle between Scar and Swain became even more heated and the attacks became faster.

DING!...DING!...DING!

The sound of metals clashing was heard in the destroyed lizard man village.

The war between Swain and Scar was still going on and never losing its speed.

Swain had no wounds on his body, but it was clear that he was very tired. Swain had only one arm. So, if he wanted to fight Scar, he had to fight with all his physical strength. This was exhausting Swain.

Swain's hands were trembling and his hair was soaked with sweat. The blood stains on his face and hair were almost completely cleaned by the sweat.

Swain had a big smile on his face and his purple eyes were shining like little stars.

The skin around Swain's eyes had dried and turned purple, as if affected by the purple brightness of his eyes.

Swain never stopped smiling on his face while fighting Scar. He saw this struggle as a very fun game for him and gave the impression that he didn't take this fight seriously.

But that was not the case at all. The only reason for the big smile on Swain's face was that he enjoyed this fight and the adrenaline level rising in him immensely.

Scar got angrier every time he saw the smile on Swain's face and sped up his attacks.

The surprising thing was that even though Scar's physical features were superior, wounds were forming on his body, albeit small.

But there was something Swain didn't notice. It was a bit of cunning and calculation hidden in the depths of Scar's eyes.

Normally Swain could easily notice these small details, but his eyes were completely locked on the fight.

Swain escaped from Scar's every attack at the last moment and used the barrier spell when he couldn't escape the attacks.

Swain's demon energy reserves were limited and there were no souls around to replenish his energy. So Swain didn't spend his energy unless he had to and used it only for the barrier spell.

"IS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS RUN AWAY?!"

Scar shouted angrily and swung his spear with all his strength from top to bottom. The silver spear was shining ominously and its speed was breaking the wind.

Swain could easily see this attack, but his body was not agile enough to escape this attack.

"BARRIER!"

With these words, a red barrier appeared in front of the silver spear.

Scar showed no concern when he saw this barrier, on the contrary, a big smile appeared on his face.

Swain felt a great anxiety when he saw this smile. It was as if something was going wrong.

He was about to transfer more demon energy to the barrier and strengthen it when the silver spear moved quickly and hit the barrier.

When the silver spear and the barrier collided, the barrier shook and cracked. In just half a second, the barrier shattered like glass and scattered.

The silver spear shattered the red barrier and lost some speed, but continued on its way and pierced Swain's left shoulder.

"AAAGGGHHH!"
