Chapter 235 235 – Silver-Scaled Singer
"Let\'s attack him!!!" Phisovia exclaimed, realizing something was wrong.
She moved her hair at the lizard while Ritor stepped forward.
"I want to fight you alone, lizard!!!" The minotaur raised his great axe. "But this is not only about me!!!"
E\'nok grabbed the succubus\' hair and tugged at it. Instantly Phisovia fell hard to the ground. Then, the green-scaled lizard caught Ritor\'s body, then threw him as far as possible.
"Keep attacking, Ritor!!!" Phisovia screamed again. "Don\'t let him change his form!!!"
"I know!!!" Ritor got up with the help of his great axe. "You don\'t have to tell me!!!"
E\'nok roars in a shrill voice. His muscles grew bigger, his scales darkened, and something like horns appeared on several parts of his body.
The two generals attacked E\'nok again. But the lizard dodged easily, then jumped as far as it could.
The lizard\'s sharp horns filled his body a lot. Then two thin blade-like horns emerged from that creature\'s arm.
"Don\'t let go of your axe, Ritor," Phisovia whispered. "Keep your distance, or you will get injured like the corpse in the palace earlier. After that, you will die."
Ritor\'s brow furrowed. He had already opened his mouth to argue but chose to hold back again.
This time, E\'nok attacked first. He ran fast and swung the swords in his hands at high speed.
The battle had just begun, but the two generals were already overwhelmed. E\'nok managed to keep chopping off Phisovia\'s hair. Ritor kept coming to help, but he had to block the consecutive attacks from the lizard.
Phisovia and Ritor attempted to counterattack, but E\'nok always avoided them.
That lizard\'s speed continued to increase.
"Fuck you!" Ritor was barely able to block E\'nok\'s slash combination. For the second time, he felt the frustration of fighting a stronger opponent. No sense of joy at all.
He didn\'t see any chance of winning. In fact, this made him even more hopeless compared to when he fought Velvet back then.
Ritor\'s right hand was grazed by the lizard\'s blade, reducing his grip strength. But strangely, he felt no pain.
E\'nok used this opportunity to slash the general\'s body. No blood spurting. The slash wounds instantly blackened.
Ritor fell. The energy in his body felt like it was just disappearing, making it difficult for him to move.
And he still has no pain.
"That\'s mercy from us. Even though we really hate you guys, you won\'t feel any pain when you\'re about to die." E\'nok looked into Ritor\'s eyes.
The feeling of weakness in the minotaur general\'s body intensified. He can only twitch on the ground.
E\'nok jumped, avoiding a hair attack from Phisovia, which made holes in the ground. Then, the green-scaled lizard jumped again, doing a circular motion in the air, slicing the succubus\' body.
Phisovia landed hard on the ground, close to Ritor. The woman also couldn\'t move.
E\'nok looked at the two generals for a moment, then turned around to approach his wife. "I expected to get more resistance. But it turns out that their strength is only this much."
Ri\'va narrowed her eyes. "They\'re not done yet."
E\'nok looked at his opponents again. They were struggling to get to their feet.
"Impossible…." E\'nok hissed. "Are they on par with high beings?"
"My grandmother said sometimes strong will alone can make you do the impossible," Ri\'va responded. "Despite the atrocities they committed, I respect them."
"We don\'t need to respect them." E\'nok walked up to the two generals again. "They don\'t deserve it."
"Ritor…." Phisovia forced herself to whisper between her heavy breaths. "I don\'t need you to beat him…. I just need you to hold him…. To buy time…."
The minotaur didn\'t respond and just let out a loud roar. His eyes were fixed on the lizard but unfocused.
With a loud shout, Ritor charged forward while raising his axe. He swung his weapon hard, forcing E\'nok to jump backward.
The minotaur general kept doing that. But none of his attacks were random. Every move was on point, and he didn\'t give E\'nok a chance to counterattack.
"Humph, you are getting better, but you won\'t be able to beat me." The green lizard jumped far away, landing in front of Phisovia, who was approaching Ri\'va. "And you won\'t be able to attack my wife."
E\'nok cut all of Phisovia\'s hair that was darting at Ri\'va. The green lizard slashed at Phisovia\'s body again, forcing her to fall a second time.
He then slashed Ritor\'s legs. The minotaur also fell again.
"Looks like I have to kill you both right away." E\'nok raised his sword high, about to stab RItor.
But his movement was stopped by a scream.
"Kyaaaaa!!!"
It wasn\'t Phisovia\'s voice, let alone Ritor\'s. E\'nok looked at his wife and found the silver-scaled lizard was unable to move. Bunches of strands of red hair sprouted from the ground and entangled her in several parts of her body.
The green lizard approached his wife immediately. "Ri\'va!!!"
"Don\'t mind me…." The silver lizard struggled to speak because her neck was strangled hard. "Fight them…. Don\'t let them live... Or there will be many who get the same fate as us..."
"I will save you!" E\'nok tried to slice the hair knots with his swords. But his efforts were in vain. "Why!!??"
"It\'s useless." Phisovia wore a triumphant smile. "I\'ve been preparing for that long ago, dug some of my hair into the ground, made them dig, and popped it near your wife. And I made sure I channeled more magic power into those."
"Let go of my wife, you bitch!!!" E\'nok started to cry, still trying to slice through the threads.
Ri\'va\'s eyes rolled back, her mouth wide open to reach for the air.
"Hang in there, Ri\'va!!!" E\'nok is getting desperate. "I will save you!"
But the silver lizard\'s head drooped. Her eyes were still open but showed no signs of life at all.
E\'nok widened his eyes. His body shook violently, and he staggered backward. "No…."
And he didn\'t move at all as Ritor ran to his back. With one move, the minotaur general slashed the green lizard\'s head.
The bodies of Ri\'va, E\'nok, and Ritor fell one by one. Phisovia, lying on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief.
And the scenery around her returned to its original state. They returned to the throne room in the Grionni kingdom.
Several members of the troop immediately surrounded the two generals.
"What happened, lady Phisovia?" one of the shapeshifters asked.
The red-haired succubus smiled, even though her consciousness was fading. "We won."
