Tribal Lord: SSS Ranked Taming Primitive Beauties and The Beasts! Chapter 48
He instantly unleashed another (Sever the Line) skill, but this time the arc was wider.
Swoosh!
Another thin but longer streak was carved across the battlefield horizontally.
Another few dozen 4th Rank Lizardmen were cut apart in an instant even after trying to block the terrifying attack all together.
In less than ten breaths, half the 4th Rank Lizardmen had been killed just like that.
Old Ni calmly drank another 5th Rank Mana Potion.
He then planted his sword into the ground, hands resting on the hilt as his Sword Domain still enveloped the battlefield.
"This battle..." He said calmly, voice carrying authoritative force, "It will be decided by the nine 5th Ranks from each side."
His eyes swept across the surviving 4th Ranks. "If these weaklings dare to interfere, I will wipe them out."
The Lizardmen leader’s expression darkened.
Old Ni chuckled faintly. "Don’t worry. I won’t join unless these weaklings dare to join in the fun."
The insult was blatant.
The leader’s golden eyes burned with fury. He roared furiously.
The sound shook the trees at the edge of the meadow.
Then, he charged ahead.
The ground exploded beneath his feet as each step left a crater.
His halberd dragged sparks across the ground as he accelerated at an extremely fast speed.
Ash smiled slightly and looked at Garnak. "Garnak, the leader is yours. But be careful. You’d struggle against that guy even if you go all out."
Garnak raised an eyebrow. "He’s that strong?"
Ash nodded casually. "He has a trace of dragon bloodline. His physical strength is boosted quite a bit."
Garnak’s grin widened. "Interesting."
Boom!
The two collided as the halberd descended first.
Clang!
Garnak struck his fist to block, creating an impact that blasted a shockwave outward.
The earth beneath him cracked instantly, and Garnak was forced to take back five full steps.
His arms trembled from the collision.
The leader didn’t pause as he spun the halberd and thrust forward.
The blade pierced the air with a sharp screech.
Garnak twisted his body, barely avoiding the direct thrust, but the halberd’s shaft slammed into his ribs.
Bang!
He was sent flying across the ground, tearing a trench through the grass.
The leader advanced relentlessly, tail whipping behind him. Then he made another downward cleave.
Garnak rolled aside at the last moment, making the halberd smash into the ground.
Boom!
A crater five meters wide formed instantly, and fragments of soil and stone flew everywhere.
Garnak stood up slowly.
"Hahahaha..." He laughed. "You really do hit hard."
The lizardman’s leader charged again, but this time Garnak attempted to counterattack.
He stepped forward and threw a punch aimed directly at the Lizardman’s chest.
The leader didn’t dodge as he raised his free arm and blocked.
Boom!
The impact echoed loudly, but the leader barely moved.
Garnak’s eyes narrowed.
The Lizardman’s scales were unbelievably tough.
The leader retaliated instantly, slamming his knee into Garnak’s abdomen.
Garnak coughed up blood.
Before he could recover, the halberd’s blunt end smashed into his shoulder.
Bang!
He crashed into the ground again.
At this moment, the difference in raw physical strength was obvious.
Even under Sword Domain suppression and without activating any special skill.
This showed so much just how truly strong their leader was.
Garnak slowly stood up again, his breathing grew heavier.
Across the battlefield, other 5th Rank clashes had begun as Vakra was fighting a dual-axes lizardman, sparks flying with every exchange.
Draven and Boruk were each holding back their own opponents, barely maintaining balance.
Thurgan and Kargor engaged other heavily armored elites.
But everyone’s attention drifted back toward the center.
The leader raised his halberd again and vanished from sight.
Even Garnak’s eyes widened as the halberd appeared from the side.
Slash!
Blood sprayed as Garnak failed to fully dodge, and a deep wound opened across his side.
The leader pressed forward, unleashing a storm of heavy strikes.
Each blow forced Garnak backward. Each impact deepened the cracks forming across his skin.
Finally, Garnak planted both feet firmly.
He exhaled slowly. "Alright..."
His eyes sharpened. "You’ve had your fun, now let’s fight seriously."
Mana surged violently from his body, and the ground beneath him trembled.
Ancient runic patterns began glowing faintly under his skin as he activated his Earthbound Titan Physique.
Boom!
Layers of compacted stone erupted outward from his flesh. Thick earthen armor formed across his body, fully encasing him from head to toe.
Ancient runes etched themselves across the surface, glowing faintly as it doubled his aura.
The leader’s pupils contracted slightly.
Garnak rolled his shoulders in response. He looked up, and this time there was no disadvantage in his stance.
The leader roared and charged, halberd descending like a falling mountain.
Garnak stepped forward instead of retreating as he raised a stone-armored fist.
Boom!
The collision flattened the surrounding grass in a fifty-meter radius.
This time Garnak did not move.
The leader’s feet slid backward half a step.
For the first time since the battle began, they stood on equal ground.
At this point in time, Ash immediately became extremely happy as he heard the notifications from the system.
The subjugation teams outside the world had apparently managed to subjugate another tribe, and this time, they managed to give him rich rewards.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! You have subjugated the ... Tribe!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 60,000 Tribal Points!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 600,000 System Points!]
Without waiting for long, he instantly increased Garnak’s stats, maxing his agility and strength while adding some to health’s stat.
[Ding! 60,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have increased Garnak’s stats to maximum, adding 240 stats in total!]
Garnak was surprised when he felt the sudden stream of energy flood into his body, increasing his strength significantly.
Now that his strength had been increased like this, he decided to end the battle as quickly as possible.
The Lizardman leader sensed it instantly. His golden pupils contracted.
Garnak flexed his fingers once, and the air around his fist distorted.
"Do you feel that?" Garnak grinned beneath the stone helmet. "Now we’re talking."
The leader roared and struck first. Halberd descending like a collapsing cliff.
But this time Garnak reacted fast as his agility had increased dramatically.
Instead of blocking head-on, he sidestepped effortlessly. The halberd smashed into empty ground.
Boom!
Before the Lizardman could recover, Garnak’s fist slammed into his ribs.
Bang!
A shockwave exploded outward.
For the first time, the leader staggered. His scales cracked slightly where the punch landed.
Garnak did not give him time. He stepped in, throwing multiple attacks as he punched his left fist, right elbow, and knee.
Each movement was faster.
The halberd swept horizontally. Garnak ducked beneath it in response and drove his shoulder into the Lizardman’s chest.
Boom!
The leader was forced back three full steps.
Across the battlefield, several 5th Ranks glanced over and noticed that the balance had flipped.
The leader snarled and unleashed a furious combination. The halberd spun in rapid arcs, cutting the air into whistling crescents.
Garnak raised both arms to block the attacks.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The blade struck his earthen armor repeatedly, sparks flying with each impact.
But unlike before, he didn’t retreat and stood firm.
He even caught the halberd with one hand. Stone fingers clamped down on the weapon’s shaft.
The leader tried to pull it back, but it didn’t move.
Garnak’s grip tightened.
Crack!
The ground beneath the leader’s feet shattered as Garnak yanked forward and slammed his forehead into the lizardman’s face.
Boom!
Blood burst from the leader’s nostrils, and the halberd slipped from his grasp. Garnak kicked it aside.
The leader roared and swung his clawed hand forward, scales glowing faintly with a draconic aura.
Slash!
The claws scraped across Garnak’s stone armor, carving deep grooves. But they did not pierce it.
Garnak stepped forward again. His fist drove into the Lizardman’s abdomen.
Boom!
The leader coughed blood.
Garnak followed with a spinning backfist to the jaw. The massive crimson body was sent flying across the meadow.
It was thrown quite far before skidding to a stop.
The battlefield fell momentarily silent.
The Lizardmen’s leader was being overwhelmed.
The Lizardman staggered back to his feet, breathing heavily now. His scales flickered faintly with draconic patterns as he forced his bloodline power outward.
He then charged again.
But Garnak was faster as he met the charge head-on.
Their fists collided mid-charge.
Boom!
The impact flattened the surrounding grass once more, but this time the leader was blown backward.
His heels dug trenches through the soil as he struggled to maintain balance.
Garnak didn’t stop as he vanished and appeared above him, descending with a double-fisted smash.
Bang!
The Lizardman leader crashed into the earth, forming a crater nearly ten meters wide.
Dust filled the air.
Before it settled, Garnak landed inside the crater.
He raised both fists and used his (Earthquake Knuckle Barrage) skill.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The ground trembled as the punches landed directly.
The ground around the crater began cracking in spiderweb patterns.
Garnak unleashed a relentless storm of punches. Each strike caused the ground itself to quake violently.
The Lizardman leader raised his arms to block, but every impact shattered more scales.
His defense collapsed under the continuous tremor-generating blows.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The meadow shook as if struck by an earthquake.
The leader tried to counter, but Garnak’s fists were too fast now.
His skull cracked. His ribs shattered. His internal organs ruptured.
With a final roar of rage, the Lizardman attempted one last claw strike.
Garnak’s final punch descended directly onto his chest.
BOOM!
The crater deepened another two meters.
The tremor spread across the battlefield, and silence followed.
