Chapter 737 - Intense Fight

CLAAASH!

Hector desperately used his spear, attempting to pierce the neck of the lizardman in front of him! The strong blade was barely piercing the scales, however, this giant lizardman was just another breed altogether, stronger, bigger, and even his scales were like made of metal, his spear couldn't pierce them if he was in such a position, he needed the full force of his entire body, but piercing it through crawling was impossible.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Hector tried to pierce the neck of the lizardman, but found it impossible, and the lizardman was already about to grasp him with its giant claws! He couldn't believe he wasn't able to pierce this one's scales when he had already slain a lot of the invaders. One of the biggest reasons aside from the overpowered lizardman's physique was that he lacked mana now, he was completely exhausted, and the little mana he had recovered over battle was used to blind the lizardman general a bit more.

"D-Damn it!" Muttered Hector while gritting his teeth tightly, he continued to pierce the lizardman's neck, but the giant claws of the lizardman grasped him tightly and then threw him into the ground!

"Uagh!"

BOOOMMM!!!

Hector rolled over the ground, if it wasn't because of his armor he would be dead by now! Hector looked at the lizardman while gasping for air, he was growing more and more tired, and his stamina was lowering. Drake's slime could only heal him so much, it wasn't the authentic Drake, so he couldn't fully give him all the mana he had. If the slime ended without mana, it would dissipate and probably die. Slime Clones could only exist with the mana they had accumulated, this is why it was bad to overuse it!

"That giant lizardman is a strange breed, a Giant Lizardman… Its scales are tougher, and it also has an enormous size, incredible strength, and defense… And the worst part of all, the armor, shield, and hammer it has are all Cursed Equipment infused with agonizing spirits which enhance the power of a wielder, but turn them insane…" Said the slime, as Hector realized what he was fighting.

"Grab the shield and tank its hit, unleash the Flame Barrier and see if it can withstand it!" Said the slime, as Hector was given an idea and quickly did as he was told.

"Alright!" He said, rushing towards the shield and holding it tight just before the giant lizardman were to hit him with his hammer! The massive hammer reached Hector, clashing against the Muspelheim Shield with an enormously strong attack!

TRUUUUUMMMMM…!

"U-Uoooggh…!" Muttered Hector in surprise, the enormous force almost made him fall into his own butt, he kept resisting and resisting, as the shield continued absorbing the power of the impact, it had already absorbed the other attack from before, so this time, Hector decided to quickly unleash the ability!

"Flame Barrier!"

The damage the shield absorbed suddenly was gathered and thrown away as the shield formed a barrier, it was both a defensive move and an offensive one, two in one! The explosive flames were unleashed, as the lizardman was covered in the explosion!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

The explosion covered the entire giant lizardman's body, burning it alive! The armor was tough and his scales as well, but the explosion was still powerful, hitting it and burning him, the lizardman was so impacted by the hit that it fell over his own butt in the ground, the weapon, and the shield it held fell into the ground!

"UUAAGGRAAAKKHHH…!!!"

Hector looked at this opportunity and didn't wanted to waste it, he rushed towards the lizardman with his spear at hand, while holding the memento that his childhood friend, Miminga left for him, her fang. Hector roared loudly like a warrior, pointing the spear into the lizardman's head, and trying to stab its head! However, the lizardman, even while burning alive, reacted in time, using his tough hands to catch Hector's spear!

"Uggh…! D-Damn it!!!" Muttered Hector, the lizardman grabbed the spear with his enormous hand, and then used the other to punch him!

CLAAASH!

"Agh!"

BOOM!

Hector flew through the air and fell headfirst into the ground, almost being knocked out, he barely managed to keep himself alive. His vision was dizzy, and his entire mind was confused, he was seeing hallucinations, colors everywhere, and he seemed to be in the brink of death! The slime quickly showered him with healing spells, the lesser ones it had, until almost exhausting his mana, Hector barely managed to escape death, but his weapon was within the lizardman's hands now…

"Grukahahaha!" The giant lizardman slowly stood up, looking at the beautiful spear with his greedy eyes, and laughing maliciously at Hector for being a weakling…

"Hahh… Hahhh… I am not giving up, you bastard…" Muttered Hector, gasping for air. The slime felt like Hector, despite having been healed, might soon end up dying if he continued pushing himself forward like this.

"Hector, run! This monster can only be taken down with various people!" Said the slime, but Hector was a stubborn idiot, he wouldn't listen to him.

"I can't… this thing is enormous and it has a hammer, it will break the doors in an instant and flood the village with the monsters… innocent people will die… I can't let that happen, I am… The Village's Guard for a reason!" Said Hector, he was a human, a righteous person that grew in a normal society that valued good and self-sacrificing actions, not a monster that lived in the wild and ate monsters to survive like Drake… Despite Drake being confused by such an enormous sense of morality, he was also once a human, and shared such feelings, despite being mostly an outcast that lived inside his house for the most part and didn't particularly interacted with the outside world…

"Hector… You're really crazy, but I got something that could help… Are you ready? It will curse you, but it should give you enough power to handle this monster!" Said the slime.

"Hahh… Sure… I'll take anything!" Said Hector.

And then, Hector's entire body was covered in a clad black armor…

FLAAASH!
