"I can understand you?"
The salamander's question struck everyone's mind as they thought the same thing. 'How can Albert say something in the Salamander's language?'
It was clear that they had been talking in the same language, so if the salamander couldn't understand the elves or Shella, it was impossible for the salamander to understand Albert's language.
Such a situation put the elf leader in a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to fight this salamander, thinking this was the cause of the eruption. On the other hand, the salamander seemed to be extremely strong and casualties might increase if they fought to the end.
If Albert could actually persuade the salamander, it would certainly be better.
After getting that question, Albert sighed and said, "Yes. I'm using a special spell. So, I've understood your words since the beginning."
The salamander looked at Albert for a moment before saying, "What year is now?"
That question confused Albert as he also never knew the date. He looked at Shella and asked, "What year is it now?"
"Sun Calendar, Year 1200 Month 6 Date 4."
"Sun Calendar, Year 1200 Month 6 Date 4," Albert repeated Shella's answer so that the salamander could understand.
"Sun Calendar? It's not Lunar Age?" The salamander was stupefied.
"Lunar Age?" Albert tilted his head in confusion.
"Lunar Age is the previous era. I don't have any information about the Lunar Age as it's not my area of research." Shella shook her head in disappointment.
Suddenly, the elf leader added, "There was a huge invasion during the end of the Lunar Age. All kingdoms united, but they couldn't defeat their enemies. In the end, they came into hiding. Because of this invasion, the monsters reproduced greatly and repopulated the entire continent.
"When the new beginning came, we separated ourselves from the rest of the elves. Any information of the end of the Lunar Age had been sealed, and not many knew about this anymore as though they were hiding this information from public eyes."
Albert tried to convey the information to the salamander.
Surprisingly, the salamander flared up in anger as he shouted, "Huh?! Have they died? If they died during that time, wouldn't it mean I have no one to stop me anymore?"
As if he realized there was nothing that could stop him anymore, the salamander released its killing intent. "Hahahaha! I'm going to be the king of this continent then."
Without hesitation, the salamander directed his killing intent to the elves, Shella and Albert.
"!!!" All of them widened their eyes as they realized the salamander wasn't here to come to an agreement. He just wanted to check the situation.
If this continued, the salamander might kill them and head outside. Although he didn't care much about outside, considering there were many stronger people than the salamander, it wouldn't mean much if he died in this place.
In other words, no matter what happened, he needed to survive.
"Are you going to kill us?" Albert frowned as he glared at the salamander.
He was slightly astonished by the salamander's arrogance. Even though his level was only less than 300, his arrogance knew no bounds. It was clear that the previous era didn't have anyone stronger than level 300.
In other words, the only reason why they were exterminated in the last era was due to how weak they were in the past.
'Still, this is serious stuff. Invasion? All I want is a peaceful life… But still, it's been 1200 years since the last invasion, so I guess we're good?' Albert thought while glancing at Shella, signaling her to escape together with him as soon as he gave a signal.
When he heard Albert's question, the salamander laughed and glared at Albert. "Ah, all of you can die, but you can't. I'm going to make you follow me as I conquer this place. After all, I need someone that can translate their language."
"Run!" Albert shouted as he leaped away. Shella followed suit.
The salamander opened his mouth and prepared to release its fire breath to extinguish Shella and trap Albert.
However, the elves attacked him.
A few stone pillars rose from the ground and fell on top of the salamander, trying to pin him down to the ground.
The salamander still moved and even shook his body to get rid of these pillars.
Seeing such a situation, the elves summoned more stones and placed them on top of his body.
The flame on the salamander's body suddenly flared up and melted the stone. The molten lava flowed to the ground while the salamander ignored the elves and headed straight to Albert. No matter what, he needed to catch Albert first.
"He's ignoring us?" The elf leader furrowed his eyebrows, looking at the salamander's back.
"What should we do? If the salamander leaves, won't our trouble be solved?" Another elf approached him and asked for his opinion.
"We'll follow them. There is a chance that the monster will return to this place after getting what he wants. So, it's better to use that pair for hunting the monster down. With this, we won't need to worry anymore." The leader replied, assessing their situation.
"But you should have seen the power that the monster has… He can ignore us like this because our strength is not worth his time. Even if we go, there's a high chance that we'll be wiped out."
"That doesn't mean we should let go of this opportunity either. No matter what, that monster will be a threat to our place. For now, three of you are to go back to the village and evacuate the people to the nearest town. The rest of you will kill the monster with me. If we don't go back, don't seek revenge. Just do your best to go to the heart of the kingdom as soon as you can because if the Lust Kingdom can't deal with the salamander, then no one can." The elf leader instructed them as though it was his last order.
"No. We should talk about this first."
"The longer we talk, the farther the salamander is. You bring two people with you and evacuate. The rest will follow me," said the leader with a strict tone as he didn't have any more time to spare to argue with him.
Without waiting for his response, the leader chased after the salamander.
Ultimately, the one who talked to him earlier picked up two people and returned to the village while the rest followed their leader.
Their speed was fast, and they should be able to catch up with the salamander soon. But when they found Albert, they couldn't find the monster there. Only the melted ground remained as the monster's trail.
"Where is the monster?" The elf leader panicked and looked around, wondering if the monster could actually hide somewhere.
Albert, on the other hand, only waved his hand and smiled. "Ah, it's done."
"Done?"
…
Two minutes ago.
After running for two minutes, the salamander finally caught up with them. It stood in their way, preventing them from leaving.
He even used his body and tail to circle them.
When Albert thought this was the end of him, he suddenly thought of something. 'Wait a minute. This world is fucking horny. Whenever I go, horny will follow. In that case, can I make him horny? Still, there's no charm in Shella or me. How about salamander's sex story? I don't know any of them. Will human porn do?'
The moment he thought of this ridiculous idea, Albert suddenly asked, "Why do you want to control the continent? Do you have any other desire aside from ruling this place? Like having a thousand concubines from different races?"
The salamander squinted his eyes and snorted. "Who do you think I am? I am the great Agnis. They're beneath me."
"Still, no matter what, you will die sooner or later. No one can escape the cycle of life and death. When you die, your reign will crumble."
"Are you cursing the great Agnis?"
"No, no. I just want to say it's better to have a child that carries your own bloodline. When you're not in this world anymore, your child can rule this place. And the child will continue, and you'll be able to rule this place for thousands of years. Can you imagine that?"
"Hoh? Interesting thought you have there." Agnis was somehow convinced with Albert's initial thought and didn't kill Shella yet.
"That's right. With this method, you can control this place for generations… Even forever. And when you're not here, as long as you forge your own monument, everyone will remember the first ruler of this place. How's that?" Albert smirked.
"That's certainly not a bad idea." Agnis nodded as he remembered that all his rivals might have died in that war. If he couldn't escape death, no matter the reason, he should have a kid to rule the continent in his place.
"For that, you need to have the ability to reproduce. I have a special spell that can turn you into a humanoid form. Do you know why a ruler has so many wives and concubines? It's because of sexual pleasure!"
"Sexual pleasure?"
"That's right. Try to imagine yourself ruling the continent. How do you feel?"
"Great!"
"Meanwhile, having sex with your wives and concubines will feel as great or even more. However, unlike ruling the continent, this pleasure can only last for hours. That's why if you have many wives and concubines, you can feel this pleasure for a long time.
"And when that happens, you can feel both the pride of ruling the kingdom and sexual pleasure at the same time. What do you think? Isn't it great?!" Albert shouted in excitement just for the sake of convincing this salamander.
Inside, Albert was gritting his teeth as he never thought there would be a day where Bonk actually promoted horniness.
Still, this was the only way to defeat the salamander and save his and Shella's lives.
Luckily for him, the salamander was dumber than he had predicted. The moment he heard all those reasonings, he started to believe that double pleasures were great.
"Hahaha. That's great. You are indeed the only person that can understand me… not only my language, but you also know me well. When I rule the continent, I'll give you a bit part of it as long as you are loyal to me."
Unbeknownst to the salamander, Albert had gotten what he had been waiting for. Due to the pleasure coming from his imagination, he had become horny.
Name: Agnis
Race: Salamander
Level: 260
Gender: Male
Jail Time: +72 hours
He didn't know which one was the reason, but it was certain that this thought alone turned him on.
Without hesitation, Albert leaped to the salamander's head and waved his Bonk Bat. "Die, Salamander!"
"!!!" The salamander widened his eyes and realized he had been tricked. "You… You tricked me. No matter what, your weapon won't be able to touch me!"
Albert smirked as he spun his bat a bit, revealing one mystical word in the bat. 'Jail.'
"Hmph. You don't know how mighty the bonk is.." Albert smirked and struck the salamander's head. "Horny, go to jail!"
