Summoning the Holy Sword

Something happened to Lapis again?

Hearing Gillian’s report, Rhode frowned but said nothing. Since he had left everything to Gillian, he wouldn’t change the original plan unless something big happened. Another reason was that he didn’t have the time to handle it.

“Boom!!”

The fireball whistled and smashed heavily onto the ground, bursting open with a searing blast. Not far away, the lizardmen were shooting the arrows to the side. Although these lizards looked stupid, their skill with the crossbow was strong. Moreover, there were a lot of them. This large, high platform seemed to be a part of the ruins that was used for a ritual, but now it became a gathering place for the lizards. There were more than a hundred lizards here, and they were blocking the way of Rhode and his men. Not only that, there was also a more troublesome existence.

“Tch.”

Rhode looked at the ugly-looking guy that stood in the middle of the lizards. It was the only lizard that wore clothing. It was dressed in a tattered robe and there was a crooked crown on his head. It looked like cheap cosplay, but the long stick in his hand was remarkable equipment. It was a shiny metal stick full of gears and traps. On top of the stick, three triangular stones were inlaid, emitting a soft magic glow as if they were interacting with each other. Even people who didn’t know what it was could see that it was something that couldn’t be underestimated. In addition, it was now showing its strength.

This was the first magical lizard they encountered ever since they arrived at the Unicorn peak.

Of course, they weren’t technically able to use magic. If Marlene were here, she would be very dismissive. Obviously, this lizardman had a unique talent and was able to cast a little bit of magic, so it was possible for him to use magic equipment. But that didn’t mean it was smart enough to learn magic. In fact, the lizard was only using the stick to release a magical bomb to attack them.

Although it was such crude attack, no one was able to lift their heads.

For Rhode, this was the best chance!

Now!

Another fireball was thrown and it heavily hit the floor. Rhode suddenly jumped out. He stretched out his right hand. Soon, a green card appeared in Rhode’s hand and then, it suddenly shattered!

“——————!!”

Along with a crisp chirping, the Spirit Bird emerged from the sky. At the same time, the wind also roared violently.

“!! ”

Facing this sudden attack, the lizardmen didn’t have time to react. The wind whistled and the lizardmen staggered. The lizardmen that were not affected by the Spirit Bird attack quickly picked up their bows and arrows to attack the Spirit Bird. However, their arrows passed through the Spirit Bird and disappeared into the distance.

At this time, thunder emerged from the sky.

Boom!!

A lightning flashed and heavily hit the lizard crowd. Although they were physically strong and the Spirit Bird’s lightning didn’t inflict much damage to them, the deafening roar, vibration, and wind dust still made the lizardmen panic.

They had been shooting arrows intensively and paused at the same time.

Meanwhile, Rhode, who had finished his preparation, activated Shadow Flash and quickly rushed in!
