《Worlds Defenders》Chapter 043 - Party (4)

"I will go first to scout and tell you what type of creature it is through the [Magic Chip]. You guys should prepare the ambush. Be ready," Alia knits her brows to remind them the seriousness of the situation.
All the other members knit their brows and nod in response. She starts walking quietly towards the northeastern direction. After walking for 20 meters, she can see a large lizard in front of her by using the small gaps between the dense trees in the forest. Its 2 meters tall and 5 meters long body gives off a pressure on the small human. Its dark red scales shine with a metallic luster that gives one a feeling that it will be impossible to penetrate.
"It's the . Get ready," Alia informs her party through the [Magic Chip].
"Okay, I will go around and hide to cut off its path of retreat. Song Huo will act as the main melee fighter this time. His high agility and skills will be a powerful weapon against the slow {Infernal Lizard}. Alex, you stay at mid-range and start casting your as soon as you see Alia and the lizard come here. Get ready to help Song Huo as a melee fighter if the situation requires it. Carina, you stay further back and try using your throwing daggers to distract it so Song Huo and I can deal with it more easily. Alia will help you later. Use your {Bind} skill when I tell you to. Lastly, be careful of the {Inferno} skill of the lizard, it can burn us alive if we're directly hit by it. Alright, start getting into formation now," Bassel gives out instruction to each member on how they're going to face the lizard.
Bassel heads out 10 meters to the northeast direction and starts climbing a tree there. The dense leaves help to hide his presence once he climbs on top of the tree. Song Huo pulls out his Chinese-style sword from his back with knitted brows, showing his readiness to face the opponent. Alex pulls back around 5 meters behind Song Huo and gets ready to cast his {Lightning Strike}. Carina pulls back behind Alex. Two black throwing daggers suddenly appears in both of her hands.

"We're ready," Bassel gives Alia the signal.
"Okay," she replies coolly.
Alia takes out an arrow from her left quiver and puts it on her crossbow. She quietly walks towards the until it's only 10 meters in front of her. She can hear the huge lizard's rough breathing sound from this distance. She increases her concentration to the maximum and starts casting the {Lightning Enhanced Arrow}. Soon, an arrow with a purple glow around it and some electric crackles around its pointed head flies towards the giant lizard. The growls in pain and anger as the arrow pierces its neck.
It failed to notice the ambush until the arrow was only a few meters from its neck. The wound is shallow, and can only be counted as a small injury to this giant lizard. How could that small arrow pierce through its hard skin and hurt it! But, that small wound gives it a shocking and burning sensation at the same time while the muscles around the wound start twitching, giving it an uncomfortable feeling.
Its right eye turns toward the attacker's direction. It can see the little creature that attacked it. The creature looks delicious and full of meat. Driven by its anger and appetite, the starts running towards Alia's direction and.
Alia starts running towards her teammates' location as soon as she spots the lizard charging at her. It might be slow for its rank, but it's still a huge creature. One stride from the lizard can cover a large amount of ground.
The lizard starts to gain ground on her, but she has spotted Song Huo in front of her. She accelerates and goes past Song Huo. The lizard, still blinded by anger and appetite, doesn't stop its charge. It can now see four preys in front. Of course, it can't count to four, but it can see that it has more food to devour and vents its anger on.

But, just when it gets to less than 7 meters in front of the frontmost prey, it can't continue its charge. It can sense a large transparent sharp wind coming at its head. If it does nothing, it will be left as a corpse. The lizard immediately opens its mouth and spurts out flame towards the incoming {Wind Blade} skill. The two skills collide and the {Wind Blade} can only continue for a short distance before it dissipates. The flame from the lizard's {Inferno} skill continues towards Song Huo who dodges them in time.
The lizard stays in its place. It is getting wary of the humans in front of it. The earlier human was able to leave a stinging wound on its neck, and this other one was able to threaten its life. It starts to hesitate. Its small brain is considering between two options, to fight or flight.
But, just as it's still trying to decide, another human jump from a tree behind it with a fist covered in flame. The fist is being aimed towards its body. It recognizes this as another threat and swings its tail towards the incoming attacker. The flaming fist and the large tail meet. A small explosion occurs where the two meet. The attacker is thrown five meters back and collides a tree with his back. The lizard once again growls in pain and anger due to the burning sensation it feels from its tail.
It turns around to face this new attacker and gets ready to trample this human due to its anger. But, before it can even move, the lizard senses another incoming attack from the direction it faced before. A large purple lightning streaks through the sky towards the . It has no time to dodge this attack and can only receive the lightning with its body.
The lightning engulfs the lizard's body and leaves a few burn marks on its scales. The lizard stops moving for a moment due to the paralyzing effect of the {Lightning Strike} skill earlier.
"NOW! ATTACK TOGETHER!" Bassel shouts to his teammates after seeing the lizard gets paralyzed by Alex's {Lightning Strike}.

Will contain an alternative relationship dynamic (reverse harem, might be some MM and FF. No cheating, no NTR.) To the Creshe Empire, I’m just a number. I’ve spent the past five years in isolation and under study. With my home razed by a Syldrari attack, my mind damaged, and nothing but white walls and a viewing window around me, I dedicated myself to two things: training my body, and reading any book they allowed me to have. The Empire wants me to serve, to use the inhuman power the Incident stirred within me. Technically, they asked, but it wasn’t much of a choice. It never is. Serve, or… I refused to be a mindless slave. My life was taken from me once. Never again. With the Empire moving forward with their xenophobic plans, they needed someone capable of killing Syldrari—and I was just that. A tool they could use, a tool they thought they could manipulate. Needing me was their first mistake. They gave me leverage, I named my terms. Now, after five years, my life can begin.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
