We Are the Monsters!

Vol 1's. Chapter 18's

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

♤

The trembling, the fear, and the cold sweat pouring down was what happened to the lizards who had surrounded me right now.

Especially with the two perfect lizards that were currently very close to me, I could see and feel their fears so deeply.

The perfect lizard man who was in front of me instantly shook violently, even he was unable to stab me with his knife that had come into contact with the skin of my neck.

Then as for the perfect lizard lady behind me, I could feel her trembling hands while her powerful clutches were gone somewhere.

"I was surprised that you two were still able to stand up, as expected of the perfect monster."

Hearing that these two perfect lizards began to realize, but instead of attacking me quickly they just immediately retreated and took a considerable distance with me.

'Indeed, their actions were based on their instincts.'

Unlike the two of them, the other lizards they led had been stretched stiff on the ground where their current condition was unconscious.

"So will you give me those wings?"

Hearing that, with his breathing that was already irregular the persect lizard woman behind me actually gave a question to me.

His trembling and anxious voice seemed to strengthen himself for it.

"Actually ..What are you?"

But I haven't answered that, her brother answered her question.

"...Don't you realize, he's the perfect monster like us!"

Hearing that, I agreed to his words.

"Fright! You got 100 points!"

It feels so weird when you're the only person who's cheerful in front of those who're scared, that's how I feel right now.

"Include me, my name is Suji. I am the perfect monster - No, I am the perfect dragon."

Hearing that, the perfect lizard man in front of me instantly fell limp with his knees touching the ground.

The atmosphere here was very quiet and I could only hear the sound of their heartbeat being quite loud at this moment.

"Hey, so where are those wings? I am sleepy and need sleep. Tell you what, I gave you 5 minutes to bring those wings to me.

But there was no answer from them and only silence was going on here, and it really upset me.

I began to think about threatening these two perfect lizards, but only then did another voice break my mind and the silence of the night in this valley.

"So soon stop this, perfect dragon, I bring what you seek. Or should I call you Suji?"

His echoing voice made me realize that he was from the top of this high cliff, and at that moment I could see the shadow of a hunchback where his voice sounded like an old man.

Seeing me watching him from down here, he raised a rectangular coffin that was bigger than a human coffin.

Not only that, it looks like the chest is decorated with gemstones where it looks glittering from down here.

Shortly after he lifted it up, he spoke to me again.

"I'll give you this crate of griffin wings with some requirements."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"That's because this chest would explode if I wanted it."

"Is that so? So you're threatening?"

"No, I'm negotiating."

"Curtain, so what's your requirement?"

"First, I need you to shut down your magic aura again. It can make my kids scared or even traumatized."

"Hm, so they're your kids?"

"Yes! My beloved children!"

Hearing that I also slowly re-worn the artifact ring that Aoryu gave me. Then shortly after he realized that my magic aura had disappeared, he spoke to me again.

"Second, I want you to stop making noise."

'Blowns?'

"What did you say? I don't feel like I'm making any noise at all."

"Either what are you doing, but we lizard-men hear that. We can't stand a sound wave with that particular frequency. Then after we traced the sound it came from you. Admit it!"

'Oh! Is he talking about my detection magic?'

"What do you mean by this?"

Ctic!

I immediately clicked my finger and instantly these two perfect lizards that were not far from me immediately closed their ears, as if it was so noisy they even curled up unapologetically.

"THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, BOY!"

"Then what can be done, I don't know anything about your ears anyway."

'So their hearing is pretty sharp, huh? So this makes them very disturbed.'

"Is that all you need?"

"...Whoa-duh, No! There's still one!"

"???"

"...The third is, fight with me without using magic until one of us dies."

'What did he say?'

It seems like he considers that my physical strength is weak, seeing how I look right now.

"Hmmm, okay."

"Hiihaahaha! That's nice!"

Hearing myself willing, he came down from the top of the high cliff without any equipment while carrying a large chest on his shoulders.

THE DUAR!

The sound of her landing being so loud made the ground around her crack and crumble, and right after she raised her face I could see that she had a fairly wide grin on her face.

A lizard-man who is quite different from other lizards, where his body is very thin with eyebrows and a long beard in white.

"What are you doing?!"

"I don't approve of this at all!"

The two perfect lizards who were his children did not seem to want his father to do anything very dangerous, but once I could see the enormous fighting spirit was in the eyes of the old lizards.

'This old wizard-man is crazy to fight.'

"Don't stop me! Instead you look and pay attention! Whatever happens, don't you dare interfere in this fight."

While commemorating his son, I also added another warning to the two anxious perfect lizards.

Suddenly hearing me say that the two perfect lizards were instantly taking action, the sister took out earth magic where it made the ground around my feet instantly rise and seemed to grip me there tightly.

"Bender Earth: Grip!"

'Uwah, what's the name of that magic?'

Seeing that my leg was already gripped with earth magic, his brother started coming towards me quickly along with the blade this time in both hands. The two blades more precisely looked like a dagger.

But when he wanted to arrive and almost slashed me with his knife, the father came and dismissed his son's attack.

'As expected.'

"Didn't you hear me? Huh uh?!

MAAM!

But the father unfortunately not only dismissed his son's attack easily, but also beat back the boy quite hard.

"I always look forward to a great fight before I die, so let your father do well."

Hearing that I just nodded my head with a smile that seemed as if I understood the old lizard-man's feelings.

"really. A true fighter will determine his own death, then are you ready for an old lizard?"

The old lizard-man who was currently very close to me instantly turned his attention towards me, it was with a grin on his face that was clearly visible.

"You're too confident little monster. I didn't say I was gonna die here."

"Yes whatever, then let's get started!"

Quickly I put one of my trapped legs towards his head, by the way because he was slouching it could be said that it made my height with his almost the same.

BAM!

But he quickly held my kick with the back of his hand.

"I had expected that such restraining magic could be easily destroyed."

"Thank you for your attention."

"Yes! That way I can be more serious! HAHAHA!"

Slowly I could see that he had become erect, his muscles and thin body also began to grow. Until finally,

'What the hell is this old lizard?!'

His body instantly became so big, even so big that he was at least the same size, and height as the goblin-king I had killed in that instant.

But since this is his last fight then let's dance with him for a bit, at least I won't end this with one punch.

"Well! Now how are you gonna deal with lizard-king, boy?!"

'But how does he look so arrogant anyway?'

That really pisses me off.

♤

The night in this valley became quite tense because of a very great fight, the lizards who were even previously unconscious may now become aware of the shock in this place.

Various brutal attacks from the old king lizard aimed at me, ranging from punches to very powerful kicks.

To be honest I could have ended this quickly, due to the fact that during this fight I only dodged and received his attacks.

Yes, although it is quite painful, but it is nothing if it is coupled with Aoryu attacks.

'true. The name is affected by the damage, even though the slightest will definitely hurt.'

"What's the boy?! Fight me seriously!"

The old lizard-man spoke with his breathless breath, clearly if we see how his blind fighting is.

"Yes, I admit you may be deadly to those who aren't too strong."

"What do you mean?"

"Yet your punch is very strong, but unfortunately you are wrong in challenging your opponent."

"?"

"Did you know that humans determine the level and type of monsters?"

"Yes, then what? I am the king of a race of monsters. Surely I'm classified as having level 4."

"Right, that's for sure. But have you ever imagined how powerful a level 5 monster might be?"

"...What exactly do you want to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is, I once fought a level 5 monster."

Hearing that lizard-king before me began to fall silent where his face seemed to not believe what he had just heard.

"...Don't joke, kid.."

"That's right. Do you know about a blue dragon named Aoryu?"

Vibrating violently, the lizard-king in front of me seemed to be devastated to hear Aoryu's name. From there I thought that maybe he knew about Aoryu but...

"BWAHAHAHA! YOU'RE REALLY KIDDING! HOW CAN YOU COMPETE WITH THE LEGENDARY DRAGON THAT DIED 500 YEARS AGO?!"

'...What's?'

Hearing that suddenly made me very hot, my chest seemed to feel very tight and even hurt. What he said made me very angry.

I quickly darted and immediately hit the large part of his neck until he fell.

BOOM UP!

"Uhuk! Uhuk! ...W-what is the boy? ...You look very serious now..."

"Say that you're kidding."

"Haha! I'm not like you who always demean your enemies, and unfortunately what I'm saying is true"

I jumped over his sprawling body, and began to strangle him.

"You shouldn't lie."

"Ughhhh! ...What the fuck, ..you can ask it all people ..or even other monsters ..in this world. Keke!"

I unconsciously strangled her too hard which I could not stop, and in that moment she asked me the last question.

"Agh! Ehggs! ...In that case, did you win ..or ..lose?"

"Of course I won."

"....That's so.."

At that time, the king lizard who heard my answer actually died with a very satisfied smile on his face.

And for the first time in my life, I won a game but I felt like I was losing.

'But, what the fuck is he saying.'
