Chapter 234: The Lizard Queen Is Here!
Chapter 234: The Lizard Queen Is Here!
Jim kept attacking the closet world relentlessly while everything around him started to shine in golden color.
"What's going on?" he couldn't help but ask.
'The world is getting more energy than it needs,' the old man said and Jim paused. He didn't know if that was good or bad. 'It's good,' the old man reassured him, 'keep doing this and your power will gain a good boost soon.'
"That's what I wanted to hear," Jim grinned before returning to launch his deadly sword slashes at the walls around.
In less than ten minutes, the entire world suddenly shook before he felt a clash coming from everywhere kicking him out the world.
"Damn!" he stood up from the ground, "what was that for? Huh?"
'The world is evolving,' the old man said with a laugh, 'you'll have to stay here and evolve this world. But I have to warn you, this world is much larger than the previous one.'
Jim glanced around before muttering, "Yeah, I can tell that easily by myself, but thanks."
The next moment he reactivated his spell again and started attacking everything around. The world was much wider than the closet, after all he made it according to the memory of the game field in his mind.
However as the sword slashed travelled all the way to the end of it, they hit some invisible wall there and started to be absorbed by the world.
"It's working," Jim said in joy, "I can level up this world as well."
'Dummy fairy king... it's surely a thing you can do!'
Jim ignored the remark of the old man and started hitting the world all around. The main problem here was that the walls weren't only four and they weren't so small and limited to a small closet.
The world was so vast as the game field was already so big to begin with. So after staying there for a couple of hours it wasn't a surprise for this world to not be able to evolve yet.
And that wasn't all.
'The lizard is going berserk outside,' the old man suddenly said, 'it's trying to break free from all the dark hunters and come at you.'
"Damn it!" Jim broke his training here, "she can't wait a little longer?" he shook his head in regret. "I can feel it... only one more hour and this world can evolve."
'Your life is worth much more than just evolving your world,' the old man advised.
"I know... i know... take me out then," Jim helplessly said while holding his sword in hand and the next moment he went outside this training world.
There things looked quite chaotic while seeing everyone running and shouting in alarming tones. He slowly stood up and gazed upon the lizard.
"She is trying to break free with all her might," Jim slowly muttered and his voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Thanks the fairies you are awake," Reg couldn't help but say, "we were almost going nuts not knowing what to do."
"Let's retreat," Jim decisively said, "this bitch is doing all that as she felt her end drawing near."
"I hope you are right," Tom said in his usual dejected and deep tone, "if it broke free then it won't only be the lizard and the monsters... all the dark hunters will jump at us like bees around honey."
"Let's retreat for now," Jim said before turning around and suddenly froze, "where is Hector?"
In the back where Hector was supposed to hold the line he found only emptiness there. Not only Hector was missing, but those annoying threads from before were gone too.
"He went ahead," Larry shortly said, "he is trying to keep that queen entertained."
Jim didn't get the meaning of his words but from the laughter everyone had at this moment he knew Hector was safe at least.
"Let's go to him then," he decided, "let's keep killing those bastards and maintain a fixed distance with that bitch."
"Follow the lead of our foolish brave first year freshman folks," Reg shouted and everyone laughed again but Jim didn't feel any offended with that.
He started to run while keeping an eye over the lizard all the way at the front.
'Do you know how long it is before dying?' he couldn't help but ask.
``Give her five more minutes I suppose,'' the old man said, 'she wouldn't behave this way if not her foot was already inside her grave.'
'I also think so,' Jim inwardly sighed, 'Do you know what happened with Hector?'
'As the others said, he is keeping company with that spider queen.'
'C'mon, tell me something I can understand!'
The old man laughed, 'he is using his strongest spells to keep everything inside that pit confined,' the old man said, 'you don't need to worry about him for now. I can assure you the distance between you and that pit is quite secured.'
'I hope so,' Jim paused as he felt a faint tremble on the ground. "Damn, she is fiercely resisting everything!"
He watched, as others did, in amazement the fierce fight of the lizard towards all the dark hunters around.
She stood up, swallowed her body in a strange way before attacking everything around. In front of the sudden rise in her power, nothing could stop her, not even the densely packed dark hunters gathered up around her.
"Don..." Jim screamed in panic, "use your power... use it now!"
He knew once the lizard broke free she wouldn't stay a second there and would run faster than anything else towards him.
He doubted the strong looking disciples all around to be able to do anything to stop her. And so he had only one hope left, his precious pet.
"Roar!"
As usual, Don roared towards the lizard but Jim couldn't see anything happening to her for the next minute. "Roar again," he shouted in urgency while Don complied with another roar.
"Damn it!" Yet nothing happened and the lizard was finally able to break away.
"Shriek!"
The next moment it shrieked in a very terrifying way. Jim even felt his hair on his back stand to no end. He even felt a long trail of cold sweat passing over from his neck to his back, giving him enough goosebumps.
"Get ready," Reg shouted, "it's coming!"
He didn't need to shout at others like that. Everyone was already focusing their gazes up to her.
Yet the moment when everyone lost all hope to survive this and could see their death so clear and near, a sudden change occured.
"Rumble!"
"It's another earthquake," Larry shouted, "it's another earthquake," this time he hysterically laughed while the others laughed as well.
They knew what that meant... Don's special ability finally kicked in and that lizard was doomed.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
"Boom!"
However it wasn't just a simple earthquake this time. The entire cave shook violently while many rocks started to fall.
"Take cover," One of the disciples shouted before jumping to the side, evading a large piece of rock that fell over the ground.
He barely evaded it with a mere inch, but he was hit with the sharp small rocks that came out from that large one once it hit the ground and smashed.
And that wasn't the only case here.
"Be careful," Reg shouted in alarming tone, "the rocks are smashed into tiny sharp pieces."
The situation kept getting worse as the shaking continued for long minutes. Literally at this point no one ever cared about the lizard, the monsters, or the dark hunters anymore.
They all cared about evading the falling big rocks and the rapidly darting small sharp ones.
"Roar!"
Just as things seemed to get messy and bloody, Don roared and Jim felt himself stumbling on the ground, falling over there before a large piece of rock fell over his body.
"Boom!"
All he could hear was the shouts of the disciples, the screams of pain and agony coming from everywhere, before the loud bang of that rock silenced everything around.
And the world went into strange darkness and silence for a long minute while he felt a little dizzy.
But he didn't succumb to sleeping.
"Not now!" he gritted his teeth and tried to maintain his calm. He was now confined under a heavy rock, and could feel more falling over this big one as well.
Yet his body didn't feel any pressure at all. It was like he was covered totally with that rock, protected with it and wasn't in any danger.
At least for now.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly sounds returned in a violent way without warning. Loud bangs of many rocks kept ringing while the sound of disciples started to get fainter.
"They are getting far away," he muttered and reached this terrifying conclusion. "Damn it! I'm now alone in front of all the enemies and that crazy bitch!"
He couldn't help but take a deep breath before suddenly he felt something jumping over the many rocks covering his body.
And the next sound of scratching escalated while tiny pieces of rocks kept falling over his face.
"Damn you Don... you are going to kill me!" he cursed while hearing the loud and angry shrieks of that crazy lizard just above him.
It was there, trying to dig through all these rocks to get to him.
And he was alone, surrounded by all these rocks without any way to escape, any allies to help, or even hands to perform spells.
