Chapter 78: Giant Lizards
Meanwhile, outside the Blood Domain.
Serya and the others were confused. Suddenly, Alvaric disappeared. Serya and Velka tried to search for Alvaric’s presence using their detection abilities, but no matter how much they tried, it yielded nothing.
Alvaric still wasn’t there.
"Was he kidnapped?" blurted Velka.
Serya closed her eyes. She tried to sense Alvaric’s aura once again, but the result was... she immediately opened her eyes. She looked up. At that moment, Serya stepped back and fell to the ground.
Velka and the Vashtraal city guard turned toward her. "Are you alright, Lady?"
Serya pointed upward. Velka and the soldier glanced at each other. Then they both looked up toward the ceiling of the room in front of them. That instant, their eyes widened and their whole bodies trembled in fear.
There were more than a hundred giant lizards crawling along the walls of that room. Their eyes glowed in the darkness. One second later, several of those lizards dropped down. The ground trembled. They began moving toward Serya and the others. Velka and the soldier immediately stepped forward and prepared to fight.
"Protect the lady!" shouted Velka.
The soldier nodded. He stepped back two steps and stood in front of Serya, who was still on the ground. Velka pulled out her weapon—a spear. Her body was small, so naturally, her weapon was also small. Even so, Velka was highly respected in the city of Vashtraal.
She was a skilled fighter. Not someone to be underestimated, though fighting dozens of giant lizards wouldn’t be something she could win easily.
