We Are the Monsters!

Vol 1's. Chapter 17's

Headquarters of the Lizard-man! Endless Valley, Perfect Lizard, And Lizard King!

♤

The treeless plains made the night wind easily touch your skin, or so I felt after coming out of the forest I had visited before.

Before I went out with the griffin I was riding finally at the lizard-man headquarters, at least that's what the griffin was saying with me.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

"Of course, let's make it time for you to fulfill your promise."

"Well, you just need to shut up and sleep. Let me bring back your wings."

However, with a single look I learned one thing that this lizard-man headquarters was Endless Valley on the map, and I should have passed this place if I wanted to go to the city of Calamont.

It can be seen that this valley is the only way between two large and high cliffs that look like a giant wall.

I don't know what's up there but this valley is really like a moat, although the valley road is quite wide at first glance but I can feel the danger that is in there.

It feels like if you're already in the middle of that valley, you only have two options: keep fighting forward, or die.

In short, no one can survive if the enemy has surrounded you from the front and back.

'In addition I can smell a pretty strong smell of blood from the valley.'

That way I went to the valley and left the griffin behind me who began to sit quietly, as if he had an interesting show tonight.

The closer I got to the cliff, the more I saw clearly that the cliff flanking the valley was really like a giant wall.

It was impossible to climb this high and steep cliff.

Then before I went any further and I was caught in the middle of this valley, I also began to ascertain where each lizard-man was with the Sonar magic I had created to detect the life force around me.

Ctic!

I snapped my finger and the sonar wave instantly covered this vast area of the valley, but unfortunately I did not get any results at all.

'It's weird.'

Could it be that there was a fundamental mistake when I made this magic, but which part?

When I thought that, the griffin that had been far enough behind me started talking to me in a pretty loud voice.

But because the night wind here is quite strong, it makes his voice sound faint and it makes me look back to clarify.

"They're coming!"

""YIIHAA!""

Just when I looked back, I heard a loud enough scream and shrieked loudly, it made me quickly immediately return my sight to the front.

But unfortunately I wasn't fast enough that the soles of my feet coming right into my face really hit me hard.

It was a sizable foot with claws that looked like ancient reptilian feet, the kick sent me bouncing far enough away to get me back to where the griffin was sitting at ease at the moment.

'Damn 'Damn. Why is he so fast?!'

On the other hand the griffin who was sitting back and down started talking to me who was down as if she was worried about me which I wasn't.

"You okay?"

In order not to be denigrated, I also stood up quickly and cleaned all the dust that stuck in my coat.

"It's nothing."

"Be careful because those guarding the base are much stronger."

"Yes, thanks for the information."

"Together."

"Curtain, even though I've detected it with my detection magic! But they're not detected!"

I began to speak to myself, which only I should have understood but...

"Are you stupid? They're lizards that are cold-blooded creatures, you won't easily detect them with magic that detects the heat of living things."

"...Uh?"

'So it is!'

Now I understand my mistake, and it makes me really feel stupid.

"Do I need to help you? Yeah, even though my energy isn't much."

"No, I told you to shut up."

'I feel stupid, and this pisses me off.'

Right, why now do I even care too much about the number of enemies that are in front of me?

"You sure? They number not a little."

Whatever it is and how many of them are in front of me I will not care, as long as they are the enemies I have to face I will never turn my back on them.

'Yep, just hit it.'

Without leaving a word to the griffin who was currently beginning to doubt me, I also darted quickly towards the lizard-man who had kicked me in the face with his dirty feet.

Seeing me darting fast, the lizards who managed to kick me started smiling as if he saw myself as a stupid creature.

"What do you expect from moving forward like that?! Huh uh?!"

My blood seemed to boil and in an instant I stopped before him, his self who was also no less quick also started attacking me with his fists.

But this time I will only pay for what he has done, faster than the blink of an eye I avoid his fist and have moved behind him.

I didn't know what expression was on his face at the moment when I disappeared from before him in an instant, but I'll finish this before he realizes what had happened to him.

I quickly lowered my body a little and aimed for one of his legs that had been poking at me, along with that a very powerful blow I aimed there.

Cratzes!

"It seems like that's enough."

"...Huh huh? What do you think you're doing?"

"Hoy! Where are you going?! You still have to fight-?!!!@"

Bruk!

I kept walking leaving the lizard-man behind me who began to fall silent without a word, until finally...

"...W-what are you doing? ...My feet are fast... OHHHH!!!"

'I guess he'll calm down a little.'

♤

The night wind that felt piercing my face was increasingly felt as I went deeper into this valley, there was nothing but a large cliff on either side of me.

The soil is dry enough to make the dust in this place fly where you can feel it if it touches your yoke.

However, when I went deeper, I found several chariots that had been destroyed along with horses that had become carcasses.

Not only that I also found broken clothing cloths, some items that were used by humans, and also unfit foodstuffs that had been scattered on the ground.

My instincts said that they were probably villagers who had left before, considering that I had experienced this situation before.

Seeing this all made me sure that I had walked in this valley quite far away, but the question was where were those lizards?

'It should be time, right?'

"It's the first time a human has gone to this valley alone, even heroes will definitely go in groups."

A woman's voice that sounded quite mature was heard behind me, and it made me want to ascertain the source of the voice.

Looking from the source, behind me now there are several companies of lizard-man along with one of their most prominent seen leading them.

'Human? ...No, he's a perfect monster!'

This surprised me, and for the first time I met another perfect monster besides myself. And what is clear is that she is a woman who looks quite mature, especially the clothes she wears...

'Levice, is he not cold in such clothes?'

As I was paying attention to what was behind me, another voice sounded before me right now and it was the voice of a man who was quite mature as well.

"No, he's not human. I don't smell any human smell from him."

Not much different from what is behind me, they consist of several companies of lizard-man.

But what makes him different and makes me feel this more interesting is that leading them in front of me this is a perfect monster too, it's just that he's a man.

'They are Perfect Lizard-Man!'

I began to feel an incredible adrenaline, and right now I can't help the grin that was on my face when I felt something really interesting.

"Sister! He's smiling!"

'Is this man the younger sister of the lizard girl behind me?'

"She seems nervous?"

"Rumpy? Ahaha! So it?! ...He was nervous after knowing that he was going to die."

Hearing the conversation between the two brothers made the other lizards laugh, his shrill voice made the night in this valley quite crowded.

That way I will also enliven the atmosphere tonight.

"Actually I just want to find the wings of a griffin that they say you guys keep."

The bustling voice became silent for a moment as I said so, and the face of the perfect lizard that was in front of me slowly turned ominous.

"How did you know about that?" The perfect lizard in front of me.

"When I was resting in the forest, suddenly there were some of you who attacked me and-"

I haven't had time to finish my words, the two perfect lizards immediately approached me quickly.

The perfect lizard woman behind me started to speak slowly to me and directly held the top of my head easily as she was taller than me.

"My question answer, what did you do to them?"

"Hey-hey, let me finish talking first dong."

Then before myself, the perfect lizard man began to squat down and began to approach his face towards me, with his irritating expression he also spoke.

"Didn't he tell you to answer, boy?"

"Yes if you really want to hear what has happened to them, then the answer is..."

""...""

"They're dead."

Instantly, I could feel a great shock happening to the two of them.

"Yes how yes, they are very weak anyway. Likewise with him who stopped me when I wanted to come in here. Uh! But relax, that one's not dead anyway."

Hearing my words, the perfect lizard man in front of me started to pull out a knife quickly.

As well as his sister who was holding my head, I could now feel that she was clutching my head firmly. Even if it doesn't feel anyway.

The blade issued by the perfect lizard man in front of me was now very close to my neck, and he was currently speaking to me again.

"You must not say carelessly, boy, your life can die at any time."

"When your voice is pretty cute for a child, but unfortunately I am not indiscriminate even though your voice is cute."

These two perfect lizards still seem to be in disbelief with what happened, then I have to prove it.

I also tried to grab one of my hands and look for the artifact ring that held back my magic aura.

"What are you doing?! You can die anytime you remember!"

"Yes, of course I know that."

I slowly found my finger where the ring was attached, and I began to open the ring.

When the ring had completely come off, an extremely powerful magic aura burst upon them. Even though they can't see it, they should be able to feel it now.

"So, does my voice still sound like a child?"
