Chapter 25 Lizard Man Invasion (Part I)

[Tristan POV]

Seeing that an invasion would happen on my big day was a shocker. I can't help but give myself a wary smile at this happening.

Was this karma? Ever since the accident six years ago, I couldn't help but hate myself. My sister, who I love dearly, had been hurt because of me.

I was shocked to see that my sister had brought her boyfriend. Observing them together, a hint of relief came into my chest.

The news of my sister being emotionally disabled shocked our parents. I blamed myself for everything that had happened.

I was busy on the day of Reina's awakening, but hearing what had happened to my sister caused something inside of me to break.

Hearing what had happened to Reina made me want to stay away from her. What if she hates me, was the first thing I thought.

What I did as a brother was the worst thing possible. Running away from her had caused us to become distant.

I could have made it up to her six years ago, but that was now impossible because I was a coward.

Knowing that Reina had a boyfriend eased my heart. At least I knew she was capable of loving someone.

The invasion had begun, and the destruction caused by the invaders had already caused a huge mess.

In front of me was a lizard man. I was confident in my ability to cause harm. But I wasn't proficient in fighting someone with similar strength.

"You, puny man! I will be your opponent!"

With the lizard man in front, he shouted at me and attacked. His movement was fast, but it was something I could deal with.

Using my skill, I made a particle explosion using my skill at its full power. Right in front of me was the lizard stopping my attack.

"Gah!"

My particle explosion had caused immense damage, and the lizard man had blood coming from his mouth.

The attack had harmed him, but it wasn't strong enough for me to finish him. Seeing that the lizard man stayed still due to cautiousness, I made another explosion.

"Argh!"

This time the explosion I made caused some critical damage. The lizard man was now on his knees, barely able to stand up.

"To die like this, how unsightly."

Saying his final words, the lizard knew that he wouldn't live much longer. There were other things I had to do. I couldn't waste any more time.

Doing a final explosion to the lizard's face, the upper half of the lizard's body disappeared. I had killed one of the invaders, but there were still many more.

Reina, I hope you're safe.

[Olareno POV]

Interesting, that was the only thing I could think of. I had heard that this world was about two hundred years old with the system activated.

But to think that there was a human worthy of my attention. Our world has double the time to grow, so generally, our strength would be much higher.

"Warrior of Earth! Tell me your name!"

Why are humans so close to one another in terms of look? Except for their hair color and shape, they all look the same to me.

"Constance, Protector of Earth."

[Third Person POV]

Constance was a woman wearing a nun outfit. Her blond hair and golden eyes radiated on the battlefield. Anyone who saw her would recognize her. She is the definition of a saintess.

The woman up in the air is currently the second in the overall ranking in this world. While she may not be the strongest, she would do her best to fight off the lizard king.

Without saying anything, Constance made the first move. Thousands of swords made out of light appeared in the air.

"Interesting!"

Olareno laughed at the sight of Constance's power. The thousands of swords targeted Olareno, and with the swords attacking him, he dashed and broke whatever came attacking him.

[Charles POV]

Man, I knew invasions were dangerous, but to think a battle in minutes could cause that much destruction.

Using my curse, I cursed about ten of the nearby lizards. My full power is fixed. Whenever I use my curse at 100%, a creepy creature drags my target through the ground.

I wonder where my targets would go after being sent away. But I imagine it is not good for them, with their luck at its worst.

"Hey Reina, we have been running for fifteen minutes. Where are we going?"

Thanks to Reina, I have been safe from any fight and crossfire made by these fucking reptilians. The street was half destroyed, and the corpses of people could be found anywhere.

"Safety."

A quick answer from Reina, but it was enough to know that she wasn't just walking around randomly. Reina then looked at the sky, and my sight followed hers.

"What the fuck is that!"

Up in the sky, I could see some blinding light. The light attacked a lizard, but the damage destroyed the city.

The crossfire would have hit anyone near there. I then looked at Reina and secretly thanked her. If she weren't leading, I would've died for sure.

While I had an artifact that would allow me to revive one time, it wasn't something that I would want to use easily.

Another lizard was approaching us, but I got rid of him immediately. I don't know if Reina knew it was my doing or if she hadn't noticed it.

[Invaders left: 71]

It was already impressive that many of the invaders died. I had killed at least ten of them, meaning my contribution to this fight was slightly higher than one-third.

The fight, on the other side, has attracted everyone. Everyone in that area had run and focused on the fight.

With how strong those two people were, it was better to run away from them as far as possible. Reina, who stopped looking at the fight, ran toward it.

"Reina, why are we going in!!?"
