173. The Biawak Demon Family

Shortly thereafter Elvira returns with a cup of coffee for Rex.

" Please Captain..," said Elvira.

" Thank you Miss Elvira.., "said the Elvira-natured Rex.

" Drink first Mas, that abis We begin to move..," said Ustadz Akbar half whispered.

Rex complies with ustadz Akbar's request. He sipped a little coffee made by Elvira to eliminate the dizziness. After that he rose up to follow ustadz Akbar.

Ustadz Akbar and Rex walked around the orphanage looking for the whereabouts of a married couple who he said were looking for their children. And they stopped at the side yard.

" Look over there Ustadz. It's not that those two guys look suspicious huh..," Rex said as he pointed out the fence.

" Right Mas Rex. They are the ones who are being talked about with the children" said Ustadz Akbar.

Rex nodded while observing the confused couple. But a second later Rex rounded his eyes as he saw their true form.

Rex saw the appearance of a couple was still wearing clothes like ordinary humans but with a different form. The head of both is a lizard with a tongue that occasionally protrudes out. At the back of their bodies are seen tails that punt out and partially dangle to the ground.

" It turns out they're not Ustadz humans, they're stealth lizards." Rex said.

" Yes Mas. They came here to find the eggs..," said Ustadz Akbar quickly.

" Did Ustadz bring the eggs...?" ask Rex.

" Course Mas. I'm done with the eggs. Insha Allah they will not be affected by the words of their parents..," said Ustadz Akbar and embraced by Rex.

As if realizing she was being observed, the couple turned towards Rex and Ustadz Akbar. Then quickly the two demons approached them to ask.

" You've finally come, '" said the stealth lizard.

" Well, we're not cowards. So we came to solve everything..," said Ustadz Akbar.

Ustadz Akbar's remarks made the couple snort angrily.

" Solve what. We are the ones who lost it is our right to sue...!" said the man of the demon lizard incarnation.

" Where are Our Children now...?" ask the female of the demon lizard incarnation impatiently.

" They're here. This is look..," said Ustadz Akbar while showing a glass jar filled with lizard eggs.

Rex glanced at ustadz Akbar. At that time the ustadz took out a glass jar that was somehow stored where then thrust it in front of the couple. But when he saw the cool aura that enveloped the eggs, Rex breathed a sigh of relief.

The couple smiled to see their children safe and well. But the smile faded as they realized something had happened to their children.

" What are you doing, why are my children like this...?!" ask the hysterical woman.

" I just did what I should. I tame them and it benefits you later. They are good children, they will grow into normal monitor lizards that live according to their habitat. Chasing rats or rabbits as food instead of attacking humans. As parents you should thank me for representing you saving their lives. Do not let the children be used by irresponsible people to fulfill their evil ambitions." said Ustadz Akbar calmly.

" It's none of your business !. They are my children so I have the right to determine their future. What they want to be and what they have to do, I'm the one who set up not you...!" said the demon lizard incarnate man was angry.

" Sadly you're late. You can only watch them grow as lizards and not as evil demons like you." said Ustadz Akbar with a cynical smile.

" Sia*an !. Now accept this dudes of yours...!" said the demon lizard incarnation man loudly.

The lizard demon attacked ustadz Akbar violently. From a closer distance Rex can see the surface of the stealth skin of the monitor lizard thickened like the skin of a monitor lizard. Both of its claws are seen expanding and its tail is wagging right and left.

Ustadz Akbar prepares to head off but Rex gets ahead. Rex stood up to the man and welcomed his attack.

The collision was inevitable to cause a deafening explosive sound. Even so, no one had come to see what was happening because the battle was indeed invisible to ordinary eyes.

Seeing her husband fighting with Rex, the female commoner stealth monitor lizard did not stay silent. He placed a glass jar containing the eggs of the lizard on the ground and attacked the Ustadz Akbar.

Ustadz Akbar who was slightly off guard was surprised when the demon managed to injure his arm with its expanded claws. Seeing ustadz Akbar injured and bleeding made the demon lizard happy and clapped its tail to the ground as if celebrating its victory.

Ustadz Akbar seemed to wipe his wound for a moment while thinking to reduce the pain that pierced his arm. After that, Ustadz Akbar attacked the stealth lizard.

When the battle occurred, the eggs of the monitor lizard inside the glass jar seemed to shake. A moment later the eggs cracked and opened. Apparently the lizard's eggs hatched.

The sound of the newly hatched lizards distract the female lizard stealth. He turned his head and the opportunity was used by ustadz Akbar by attacking him right in the abdomen.

The female stealth lizard was lurking to the ground while screaming in pain and it shocked the husband. At that time the condition of the husband was also no luckier than his wife. Many wounds on his body were due to Rex's attack and it made him weak.

Realizing that they would not be able to face Rex and Ustadz Akbar, the stealth lizard jumped back while holding his chest.

Rex was no longer chasing because he did not want to show anything bad in front of the lizards that had just hatched. Even though Rex did not know if the children could already understand what was presented in front of him when they had just seen the world.

" Enough Mas Rex..," said Ustadz Akbar while patting Rex on the shoulder.

" Yes Ustadz. I am also not interested in continuing everything..," said Rex.

" Why stop ?. Didn't you say you'd solve everything now...?!" challenge the demon lizard arrogantly.

" We still have a conscience. We may not be presenting anything unworthy to your children. Look at them, do you not like them ?. They're just born and need a hug. But you're busy fighting for something wrong...!" ustadz Akbar said annoyed.

Ustadz Akbar's words seemed to awaken the two demons. They looked towards the glass jar where the eggs were. The two demons seemed enthusiastic when they saw their children had been 'born'.

" My boy...!" the demon lizard said simultaneously.

The two stealth lizards approached the jar containing small lizards that look confused looking for a way out. For a moment they laughed happily. Then the husband smashed the jar until all the lizards were freed from the glass jar.

The lizard cubs that had just hatched were quickly creeping up into the bodies of both parents to make the two stealth lizards laugh happily.

Rex and Ustadz Akbar also smile to see the happiness of the family of stealth lizard.
