2 days later!Finally Juri and Luria left the jungle, arriving at the swamp.
"The weather and... smell are strange!" - Said Luria frowning.
[You have developed the Skill "Stench Resistance"!]
"... Did you get that too?" - Asked Juri, Luria looked confused, but soon asked.
"Resistance to Fedor?"
Assenting, Juri smiled and shrugged, there's nothing to do.
But soon Juri had an idea and activated her Chi around her nostrils, where soon the stench disappeared.
"Hummm... Luria, here's what you do..." - Juri calmly explained to Luria, who tested and smiled.
But Juri decided not to use that, it's good to train a new Skill, not to mention that [Stench Resistance] will be useful, she believes so.
...
After walking a bit in the swamp, the two decided to focus the Chi on their feet, it turns out that it has a lot of false ground, they step on it and sink!
At least by manipulating the Chi, they will be able to step without causing problems.
So the two move forward at high speed.
A few hours later!
"Eita!" - Juri stepped on something and found herself being pulled along.
Luria running stopped and skidded a bit, looking at Juri and immediately laughing.
"Are you serious that you fell into a trap like that?" - Luria laughed.
Juri huffed and let go, then noticed on the map some dots approaching quickly, Red Dots!
"Something is coming!" - Said Juri, Luria turned serious and came to his side.
Since Luria became a player, she got an Inventory too, only her Inventory is only 1 page, unlike Juri who has 10 Pages!
But it's still very large and useful, the only thing she didn't receive was the ability to automatically equip clothing and armor.
But the important thing is that she drew [Icy Dawn] and was ready!
It didn't take long for arrows to fly in her directions, as well as the ground opening up, water rising, and figures pointing spears at them.
Juri ignored the arrows, his [Sovereign's Cloak] parrying them with ease.
Two spears targeted her chest, which she grabbed with each hand with no problem.
HYAH!
A high-pitched scream came, one of the Lizardmans tried to pull the spear, but was unable, so he let go of it, jumped up and tried to grab Juri.
Juri let go of the spear, her arm extended and her Chi manifested.
She just used [Chi Palm], a technique she hardly ever uses, but she decided to use it because she couldn't think of anything better.
Soon the Lizardman flew off and crashed into a tree. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The other Lizardman aimed for Juri's legs, but only received a [Chi Palm] to the back of the head, burying his head in the mud.
Looking at Luria, Juri saw that 3 Lizardmans were on the ground, trembling.
Luria didn't even attack, she only exhaled a deep cold and the 3 Lizardmans were unable to resist.
Maybe if they were above Level 100, they would have no problem with this cold, sure, they would have a hard time, but they wouldn't be on the ground like they are now.
Juri then heard growling and voices, his System translated and found that the Lizardmans abandoned the 5 here and ran away, understanding that Juri and Luria are too strong, so they decided to call their leaders.
"Do we wait or just ignore?" - Luria asked nonchalantly.
"We ignore, their leader must be around Level 100~150, I find it hard for every biome or region to have an individual of Level 200 or more!" - Juri said calmly.
Luria shrugged, then ignoring the Lizardmans, they just walked away.
Even though they want to ignore trouble, trouble comes to them!
This is the home of the Lizardmans, they have amazing shamanism and tracking techniques!
That is, Juri only saw a big red dot approaching them, along with the powerful and bestial aura.
"Humm... do we kill?" - Luria asked curiously.
"Depends..." - Said Juri, she wanted to just run, but she was curious what a Lizardman leader looks like.
So she waited until it arrived.
A 6-foot figure, relatively slender, a male obviously, with green scales, holding a bone spear.
With sharp blue eyes, the Lizardman looked at Juri and Luria, his fists clenching the spear even harder, he felt, the two of them are strong!
"Hey, I know you can understand me, how about we don't fight?" - Juri asked calmly.
"...How can you speak my language so well, human?" - Asked the surprised Lizardman.
"I use a magic translation item!" - Said Juri calmly.
"I see... what are you doing here?" - Lizardman asked.
"We are passing through these swamps, we want to reach the Human Kingdom further south!" - Said Juri calmly.
"A long walk, but no matter, you'll have to pass me!" - Said Lizardman getting into combat stance.
"And why is that?" - Asked Juri a little annoyed.
"I am a Warrior, I aim to become the strongest in these swamps and I need to face powerful enemies, I feel that you are powerful, if I beat you, I will become even stronger, if I die, it will be an honor!" - Said the Lizardman in a proud tone.
"I see..." - Luria said and already moved forward, looking at Juri who stood off to the side.
"Thank you for the honor of a duel!" - Said the Lizardman gratefully, Luria nodded and got into combat stance.
"I am Gaska!" - Lizardman said.
"Luria!" - Said Luria.
They both looked at each other, before advancing!
This time Luria didn't use her Chi, but her Aura!
Gaska used something like Aura too, then her spear collided with Luria's sword, which she defended, before forcefully thrusting her spear away!
She then made a slash towards Gaska's chest, who dodged, showing great agility, and suddenly he kicked!
But his leg was held by Luria, who smiled, but then Gaska made an incredible move, his leg twisting, his body coming off the ground, and then Gaska's foot came towards Luria's face.
Luria used [Sovereign's Command]!
BANG!
Gaska, seeing that he hadn't accomplished much and was falling, kicked Luria in the chest, wanting to free himself.
Luria let him go, Gaska put his hands on the ground, doing a backflip and standing up before retreating.
Luria was smiling, she was having fun, and so was Gaska!
Soon Gaska propelled himself forward, his spear covered with powerful, deadly magical energy, to the point where flames exploded!
Luria was surprised, so she protected herself and used more Aura than usual.
BANG!!!
A bang sounded and flames engulfed her, this was significant power, but unfortunately Gaska is only a Level 143 BOSS, Luria is at Level 199 both ordinary and Paranormal Exposure.
The difference between the two, is that Gaska only has enough Life and Mana, because of his Classification, but other than that, he's not that great.
Soon Gaska grunted as he stepped back, as the air became extremely cold, so to resist this, Gaska spent even more Mana and raised the temperature.
Soon Luria moved forward, ice formed and an ice blade aimed at Gaska, who stocked it with his spear and flames rushed forward.
But his flames were unable to stop the advance of the Ice Blade, which struck him and threw him far away.
Luria jumped, Gaska tried to steady himself, saw Luria descending on him and quickly used his spear to protect himself!
Bang!
A loud crash sounded, Gaska was forced to the ground, Luria stepped on his chest, threw his spear away and put the sword into his neck.
"I win!" - Said Luria smiling.
Gaska closed his eyes, ready for death.
"That was a good fight!" - Said Luria stepping back.
"Aren't you going to kill me?" - Gaska asked frowning.
"I don't want to!" - Said Luria walking over to Juri.
Gaska looked down, then noticed something, he didn't even manage to hurt her, not to mention that these last 2 blows, it doesn't look like she used all her strength, that is, she limited herself!
This made him clench his fists, so he stood, before bowing and saying. - "Thank you for sparing my life, I learned a lot from that fight and... I hope to have the chance to duel with you in the future!"
"If fate allows!" - Luria said smiling.
Gaska looked at her intensely, then looked at Juri smiling.
"Don't even try, she can't hold her own and... she's stronger than me!" - Said Luria realizing Juri's smile.
"Stronger..." - Gaska was shocked, just today he discovered 2 women stronger than him!
"Little lizard, a tip, learn the common language of humans, then explore this magnificent world, don't limit yourself to a small swamp, or you can never grow, much less hurt my girl here!" - Said Juri smiling.
"Little... lizard?" - Gaska was surprised to be called that, that's even an insult, but he didn't complain, he is weak before Luria, so if she said Juri is stronger....
"Well, we're going, good luck in your life!" - Said Juri waving, Luria did the same and the two started running at high speed.
Gaska was surprised at the speed, he could barely keep up!
(Author: Do I make Gaska appear in the future? I took the trouble to give him a name, so I'll write it down for now...)
