Chapter 287 Slicing Through

Chapter 287 Slicing ThroughMany students didn't know how to feel at that moment. A lot wanted their share of materials but knew they couldn't confront Lyrian.

Kaith's team was simply surprised that all of this occurred. Of course, the part of the team that was fighting that specific lizardman.

"Stop dilly-dallying!" Kaith retorted to the silent crowd. "This is a dungeon! Go fight beasts!"

Hearing this, the bulk of the students quickly moved on to the different saurians, despite how they felt.

Kaith was the first person to run after Lyrian out of the crowd. At that moment, Lyrian was looking at which lizardman was the most injured, so he could not risk another one being killed and looted first.

Kaith made his way next to him before whispering, "Hey... so what was this disguise all about? What are you planning?"

Lyrian stopped and looked at Kaith as he heard this. He was initially confused about what the boy was talking about.

However, he quickly realized that his actions portrayed either two things to the basic person -- him fully betraying his own team, or him doing all of this to contribute to his team in some way.

'He must have gone with the second option,' Lyrian mused as he began to speak.

"You will find out soon enough," he said, not explicitly giving a clear answer.

"Yes! It's down!" A voice cut through the noise from afar, entering right into Lyrian's ears as his eyes widened.

Through the screams of battle, Kaith didn't hear those words, but Lyrian was locked onto anything having to do with the beast's dying.

Before Kaith could reply, Lyrian rushed over to where the voice came from.

He soon arrived at the scene where another archer had been felled and looked at who was collecting the beast's materials.

'It's a kid from Gator's class. That's no big deal then...' Lyrian turned to face the other lizardmen.

On seeing that the swordsman was in his last moments, he quickly ran over to it.

On his way there, he realized that he was wasting too much time. 'It's time to hurry up and finish off these lizardmen.'

He arrived at the battle as a kid jumped into the air with a sword in hand. The kid was ready to plunge his blade into the heart of the saurian, which was on its knees.

Just before he could kill it, Lyrian appeared behind the lizardman and quickly extracted its materials.

"Hey! Wait! You are--" The boy's blade still stabbed into the lizardman, but he was more concerned with the kid who had just stolen the valuables.

Before anyone could say or do anything to him, Lyrian was already gone. The angry crowd followed him, however, since many wanted those materials shared.

Lyrian dashed around and finished off the remaining two sword-wielding lizardmen with ease.

The crowd following him became bigger and more rowdy, which was annoying to him, but he didn't want to stall.

'I'll have to deal with them in the end...' He tsked, moving onto the two spearmen.

They were different in fight styles and fought together instead of being alone.

So far, no one had been able to so much as touch them, even though their stats were on par with every other lizardman's.

On closer inspection, however, it looked like their speed stat was about 5-10 points higher than every other lizardman.

'Spear training requires fast twitch movements, so that explains their greater speed.'

lightsnοvεl He looked at the two lizardmen having each other's backs as they fought against the kids.

They tried to poke and lunge at them, taking turns. However, none of their efforts bore fruit.

If they caught one off guard, the other would guard him. If they managed to get past both of them, their teamwork was great enough to fend off any opponent 2v1.

Lyrian neared 50 feet of the two saurians when a few students stepped up to face the duo again. Many were already injured by this time.

The three who stepped up looked at each other with determination. "You two go for both of them at once, and I'll attack them while they are distracted!"

"Got it!"

"This better work!"

The three lunged in, as the lizardmen backed up slightly. The two kids at the front clashed with the duo.

However, they soon began to get pushed back with powerful strikes.

At that moment, the third student jumped in and slashed both of their ankles -- at least, that was his plan.

He only managed to slash the ankles of one lizardman, before he was swatted away by its tail.

With that, the lizardman turned the other two fighters into bags of sand.

At that moment, when everyone gathered around these two warriors backed up in slight fear; a figure jumped into battle.

"Hey! What are you thinking!? Didn't you see what just happened!" A kid blurted out as he saw the boy lunge toward the spear-wielding saurians.

"We need to wait for stronger kids to come forth!" Another shouted, but his words were ignored.

Lyrian ran directly toward the lizardmen. They tried to stop him with quick and forceful strikes at the same time, but he jumped over the spears and near their legs.

Without any delay or hesitation, he swiftly danced in between their legs, slashing each of their Achilles tendons.

The two fell to their knees, as Lyrian jumped up onto one of the shoulders of the lizardmen and slashed its neck.

From there he leaped over to the other beast's shoulder and did the same.

He made sure to kick both of them backwards, so they landed face up.

Just as the large crowd that was following him caught up, he had already looted the bodies of the beasts.

Those who stood and watched were mesmerized by the power. Lyrian didn't care for this, however. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0ᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

He didn't stand back, continuing to run.

As soon as he got a few meters out of that group of students, who now followed the larger group in following Lyrian, he gazed at the other fights.

All that were left were the axe-wielding lizardmen. Laying around each of them, Lyrian saw several sandbags.
