"Remember son, this is what will happen to the losers in life. A game they lose can never be recovered. The thought of giving them a chance will ultimately kill you"

Holding a head leaking blood from beneath its neck and dripping blood where a body once was, a child nodded in silence watching coolly.

Horses ran across a headless body without mercy and crushed it to pieces, the food wasn't worth staining their palate.

The child didn't look back as he hurried forward in search of prosperity and greatness

....

A gruesome figure was completely destroyed and intimidated everyone who saw that thing as someone who as once a friend.

Those who were devoured had been ignored and especially for the people who were close to them sulked in silence for their losses.

Only when the cold truth of reality slapped the people into wake did they realize how terrifying death could be.

Bones shattered into dust, blood spilled across the dirty ground and mince like flesh now littered the ground.

An intact leg could be seen, missing from the torso while the clothing was shredded apart, soaking up the red water it was bathed in.

Morale was further decreased when the Horned Viper Murderer swooped down to the ground and swallowed the remains without hesitation.

Everything just felt like it was an illusion. The only evidence that could be seen was the blood splatter that spurted tiny dots around a small pool.

Few felt like they could continue this battle even though they had only lost 4 people in total.

Christian scoffed in disdain as he realized that although his soldiers were taught with strict diligence they have yet to become numb in the face of death.

'Even if we suffer large losses, they will become steel hearted warriors.'

He refused to try an input any words to up the motivation of his soldiers as people were already doing that for him.

Those that were close to the dead souls seeped an intense hatred that was aimed towards the beast while others had started giving speeches to anybody close to them.

Expressing their resentment as a fuel for revenge, his soldiers began to get mad at their laughable weakness while other lamented their state.

Some had reached a sort of enlightenment.

The situation was slowly recovering however Christian didn't forget to keep a close eye on the lizard.

An indifferent aura was replaced with a much more serious one as it looked down against the pitiful beings that would soon be its food

Slithering towards the sky, the lizard rested its tail by coiling around the middle part of its body while two stubby arms poked out in a non threatening manner.

Once reaching a tall enough height, the head slowly turned down until it was able to stare down at the annoying pests.

The crown and spike like horns began to glow a yellow hue that lit across the blue sky.

In utter disdain a majestic aura was released, competing against any foes that wished to court death in front of the royalty being itself.

Christian felt the desire to recklessly kill it but that would be nothing more than a death sentence.

Analyzing the reason for the odd stance, Christian had to guess that the lizard was becoming more cautious against the attacks which was why its weakness was now high in the sky.

A ear rupturing roar exploded from the Horned Viper Murderer that caused everyone within the vicinity to hold onto their ears. Faces distorted from the painful scream.

The few that managed to recover quickly such as Christian saw the mess the beast had already created.

It held its stance without any issues and pecked the closest soldiers by moving its head in a direction using a rapid speed that made the incapacitated people die within an instance.

Everyone began to recover from the vicious voice and became aware of what the monster was trying to do. Without any issues they were now able to dodge the attacks.

Those that were dodging the attacks served as a good distraction for those fighting. Scales began to wore out from the constant damage as blood began to pour from multiple flesh wounds

The beast had obviously noticed the irksome damage and understood the current stance it was taking was pointless.

Instinctively moving away from the damage, it slithered away from the harm and sprayed poisonous gas towards anybody within the vicinity of its reach.

People avoided breathing the toxic air and placed a cloth over their nose and mouth. Others refused to let down such an important chance an attacked the monster without hesitation.

Blood dripped down the blades that managed to impale the Horned Viper Murderer while few soldiers were give the chance to strike the eye.

As if a warning to what might happen if they attack the eye, the vivid memory of a man without an intact corpse would intimidate their movements.

Limiting themselves on the damage they would do, Christian would have to contribute the battle towards a war of attrition if no one can permanently blind the beast.

As if giving Christian a chance, the lizard was nowaiming for Christian's group that was within the proximity of the Summoning Magicians.

Christian saw the fear in many of his soldiers eyes which forced him to sigh and make the move to finally blind the lizard

Positioning himself to get the remaining eye, Christian took a deep breath and watched the jaws of the lizard carefully.

The lizard had just barely moved past him as he jumped towards the lizard and stabbed.

There was no second thought as the one thing Christian wanted to spit at the lizard in a low voice

"I'm the real Emperor"

Hurriedly jumping away, he refused to become a mushed corpse instead of a living human.

Permanently blind. A frantic outburst crashed against anything that was close to it.
