He spent another minute resting and cooling down his tense nerve. Afterward, he then went and picked up the loots. He got a total of 17 silver and 35 copper coins, 3 common equipment which he had no use of and planned to dismantle, 8 scales which were uncommon material, unlike the red scale which he had used to craft his chest armor, and 53 Lizardman's Scale which was the Lizardman's trophy item.

After storing the hefty loots, Jack walked back to the encampment. When he came out of the ravine, the encampment came into view. There was a large figure stood outside the encampment. Jack approached and saw the figure to be a tall lizardman in battle armor, he was holding a large two-handed tomahawk axe.

When it saw Jack, it let out a deafening roar. It was utterly enraged that Jack had decimated its minions. Jack used his God-eye monocle to inspect the monster.

Lizardman Chief (Elite boss, Reptile), level 15

HP: 7200

An Elite boss, not a Special Elite, and the same level as him. Should be manageable, Jack thought. After all, he had fought against an elite level 20 Boss, even though that particular boss had been fought with a party of many players. A same level 15 elite should be just right for him with his attribute advantage of dual-class.

He was about to go meet the boss in combat when he saw another two figures appearing not far behind the boss.

They were another two lizardmen, they were not wearing armor, but they were also not naked like the other lizardmen though. They wore some kind of ceremonial cloth. One of them was wielding a bow, while the other was holding a wooden staff.

Lizardman Guard Archer (Elite monster, Reptile), level 13

HP: 3100

Lizardman Guard Shaman (Elite monster, Reptile), level 13

HP: 2800

"I know it has been too easy," Jack mumbled to himself as he stared at the trio of lizardmen. "The hard part is always saved for the last."

"Good luck," Peniel said as he flew to the top of one of the wooden huts in the encampment, then sat down on the tip with a relaxed pose as she watched from above.

Jack was speechless by the Fairy. He liked it better when she was just staying in her hidden dimension.

The Lizardman Chief said some weird words to the other two lizardmen behind him, who then fanned out while staying at a distance. The Chief itself then walked forward with an intimidating posture, while uttering some words to Jack.

"You do know that I don't have any idea what you are saying, right?" Jack said to the Lizardman Chief, who seemed to understand Jack's word. It uttered a low growl before opening its maw and roared thunderously.

The roar shocked Jack's body.

'Shit! Is this the same kind of roar like the Horned Ogre Boss which can cause a status effect?' Jack thought with alarm.

But to his relief, he didn't hear any notification about his status effect. He however saw the Lizardman Chief's eyes and the other two lizardman's eyes glowed with red light.

Uh-oh, it seemed that this roar was a reverse from the Horned Ogre boss' version. It did not create a negative status effect on the enemy, but it provided positive buffs for itself and its allies.

The Lizardman Archer made the first strike by shooting an arrow at Jack. Jack hurriedly summoned his Magic Shield to block it. The arrow broke into two due to the impact with the shield. The Lizardman Shaman seemed to be chanting something, but Jack didn't have the luxury to pay it attention as the Lizardman Chief made a giant leap towards him.

The leap was completely defying the law of gravity as its large frame traveled to the height of three meters and a distance of almost six meters. He swung his huge tomahawk axe down at Jack's head.

Jack immediately jumped to the side. The axe chopped down and created a long crack on the hard ground. Jack rolled on the ground to put some distance with the Lizardman Chief. When he stood up, he found the ground he was on was cracking, several thick vines shot out from the cracks. Jack jumped back once he felt something was wrong, but the vines were as if alive as they changed direction and attached themselves to his legs.

Jack was immobilized as the vines held onto his legs tightly. He took a glance at the Shaman and show it pointing its staff at him, it really was that Shaman's doing.

The Lizardman Chief didn't allow Jack any reprieve as he ran forward with heavy steps.

Jack used his sword to chop at the vines. His sharp sword cut through the vines easily. However, new vines came out to replace the ones that were severed. There seemed to be no end to it.

As the Lizardman Chief arrived, Jack made a quick decision by shooting Mana Bullet at the Lizardman Shaman. He then speedily replaced it with Magic Shield as the Chief's axe came down towards him. He managed to block the axe at the last second, he could feel his left hand becoming numb due to the impact.

His right hand never stopped chopping at the vines. Fortunately, the vines stopped coming out to replace the one he had severed. He glanced and saw that the Lizardman Shaman was staggering due to his Magic Bullet. The vines spell was the type where the caster had to maintain its concentration in order to maintain the spell, its incantation must have been disrupted when Jack's mana bullet hit the shaman.

Not wasting the chance, he doubled down the effort to chop at the vines, and then use brute force to tore his legs off from the remaining ones. At this time, another arrow came and punctured his waist. He felt the stinging pain as damage of 26 appeared above him. He was thankful as his rare Scale Armor provided a reduction of damage from range attack.

The Lizardman Chief's axe came again as he was freed from the vines. Jack used both Parry and Shield to block it. He was thrown back some distance. He noticed the Lizardman Shaman was pointing its staff at him again. He immediately cast Energy Bolts and used Charge towards the Shaman just as vines broke out from where he was standing half a second ago.

Jack's fast movement of Charge brought him past the Lizardman Chief and towards the Lizardman Shaman. His Charge stopped before hitting the Lizardman Shaman, but Jack's purpose was not to attack the Shaman with his charge. He simply needed to bring the Shaman into his melee range.

Jack decided that the Shaman was the one that he needed to take care of first, as its vine spell was really troublesome since it could restrict his movement. Jack needed his fast movement in order to cope with the brute force from the Lizardman's Chief.

The Lizardman's arrows didn't stop coming. One had missed as Jack was using charge, another one hit Jack's shoulder just as his Charge ended. He ignored the arrow. He was completely relying on his Scale Armor passive ability to withstand the arrow's damage while he focused on the Shaman.

The Energy Bolts that he had fired before had scattered as they flew to the three targets. Two were blasting at the Lizardman Chief, one flew towards the Lizardman Archer, while the remaining two hit the Lizardman Shaman. The two bolts disrupted the Shaman's attempt to cast another spell at the approaching Jack.

Jack took the opportunity as he sent a couple of quick slashes, before delivering a Power Strike when he noticed the Lizardman Chief was closing in. The Power Strike threw the Shaman in the direction towards the Lizardman Archer, blocking its attempt to send another arrow at Jack.

Jack turned to face the Lizardman Chief, who just happened to perform a rotating swing. Its body spun around with breakneck speed, with its tomahawk axe extended outward. It was so fast that Jack didn't manage to predict the trajectory and got hit by it without blocking. He was sent flying as he lost 107 damage.

He crashed into one of the wooden huts, creating a large hole in the wall of the hut.
