Chapter 44 - Kyros’s Plans



Pronto was being used, and Kyros began to think faster and faster.

The more he thought about how Fate was leading him by the nose, the more he hated it.

Despite Kyros\'s many curses, he managed to succeed. That was the trap of Fate itself. Fate allowed Kyros to succeed in order for him to exceed the limit and receive the nefarious trap.

How was it that Kyros would suddenly meet the very people he wanted to save? If Fate was working to curse him, why did it allow him to get the chance to turn the knights into stronger warriors immediately? That was the trap.

It gave Kyros a temptation he couldn\'t resist making the Steele family stronger, and when Fate\'s limits were breached, it then sentenced everyone to death.

"Like hell am I giving my family over to Fate! I am a Nephilim! Whether I ascend as a god or descend to be a destroyer, I will fight t save everyone!" Kyros vowed.

But in Kyros\'s hatred was a terrifying calmness. Kyros felt time slow down as De-Spacito was even weakened further due to his focus.

And with that, Kyros made his plans.

Kyros was much more detailed and more thoughtful in this plan. On the outside, barely five seconds passed.

"Everyone! Like hell am I going to allow anyone to die! We move back! If an army stands before us, we use another army to fight it back! Retreat!" Kyros ordered.

[Oration skill level increased.]

"Master Kyros? You have to escape!"

"I have a plan! We retreat, and you guys move towards the other path. Fight and kill everyone you meet. I will taunt the Golems with my skill and use them to clash with the Lizards! I will then activate my dark magic to escape! Rather than fight here, let\'s make a suitable place for our last stand!" Kyros ordered.

The knights began to retreat, and Kyros began to run forward with a torch in hand.

As his allies disappeared into the darkness, Kyros used his skill.

"Do golems poop? And if you do, does your poop fertilize the soil? If that is true, then are strong golems nourished by golem fertilizer? Hey, Golem King! I should call you King of Golem Poop instead!" Kyros asked a very existential question that enraged the King Golem.

[Taunt skill level increase.]

"KILL HIM!" The King Golem roared angrily, and the army ran towards Kyros.

Kyros delayed for a few more seconds and stabbed one of the golems at the chest before retreating.

The golem didn\'t die from the attack but had a deep crack on its chest.

Kyros retreated and ran towards the intersection. Very quickly, Kyros managed to outrun the golems and reach the intersection faster. Kyros then stood at the intersection and could hear the roars of the golem and the lizards behind him.

But as the two groups approached, Kyros made his preparations.

He knew leading the two groups to attack each other wouldn\'t be enough. Based on the words of the Golem King, Kyros knew that the golems didn\'t normally enter the tunnel but guarded that path as was their duty. They only sent golems out to chase the lizards that managed to dig their way through the area.

Because of everything that Kyros experienced, he knew Fate wouldn\'t have made things so easy for them. The Golems would have stopped in their pursuit once Kyros and the knights would disappear in the tunnel. If Kryos did just that, the golems would not chase, and the lizards would. They would find themselves trapped in a corner facing the lizard horde.

This was why Kyros immediately shut down Aron\'s suggestion at first and stated that it was pointless. He had no plan then. But now he has. The trick was to make sure the Golems would chase them. And so, Kyros taunted the King to make the king ordered the golems to chase and kill Kyros.

The golems charged and chased after Kyros and were closing on in the intersection. The lizards also appeared on the other end just in time for Kyros to make his preparations.

Kyros held his torch, and both groups saw each other from the distance as there were lights illuminating the room.

The lizards howled at the golems, and the golems also made a crazed roar.

The dark lizard then began to howl a different kind of his that it was usually using.

"Serpentari language...? So this is one of those smart lizards. I should have known..." Kyros recalled one of the many lessons that Calaminus taught him.

"A lizard is speaking a serpentari language. This is interesting."

"I can\'t make out some of the terms..." Kyros frowned.

"There are several dialects. The one I taught you is the most popular one, which is the one used by He Who Must Not Be Mentioned. Otherwise, we might get slammed by copyright laws."

A Golem coated with strange metal moved forward from the ranks and spoke in another language.

"The First Word language? This is the oldest language of all!" Kyros recognized the language.

Both sides didn\'t attack each other recklessly. Kyros could hear the Dark lizard asking why the golems had trespassed in their territory.

Kyros saw it and smirked.

"I was right. Fate was trapping me again. If my plan remained in leading to groups to meet, this would happen. The golems would demand me but leave the rest to be slain by the lizards. I survive because I can escape, and my allies would die. But now, Fate, take this!" Kyros laughed.

Out of the darkness, a Golem suddenly emerged and delivered a devastating punch towards the Dark Lizard at the very front.

SMASH!

The punch came so suddenly that the large lizard\'s head was buried to the ground.

The lizards were startled and began to hiss as they attacked the golem that ambushed their leader.

Suddenly, dark bolts shot out of the back of the lizards and struck the golems.

One of the golems fell down and died at the attack and enraged the other golems.

Kyros had already vanished and ran towards the dark lizard.

"You use your tongue to lick the soil? Golems poop. You probably licked thousands of Golem poop. Want to lick my poop?" Kyros spoke using the First Word Language the metal golem spoke earlier.

The Dark Lizard was enraged and attacked the Golems, and an all-out battle occurred between the two groups.

Kyros had slipped out of the battle and took the intersection, headed towards the place where his allies were.

He had summoned one of his golem and used the Cloak of Darkness to hide it. Because it was made of clay, the dark wizard wasn\'t able to detect it. Kyros also sent his Shadow Ghouls and his familiars to hide within the ranks where the lizards were forming and bolted out to attack as if they were the dark bolts that the Dark Lizards spat out.

Kyros even left the Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges and was used to stab the heart of the Golem, which he had attacked and left a crack on the chest earlier. The death of a golem and the attack at the lizard followed by Kyros\'s strange taunts all worked for hand in hand to create the battle between the two races.

But all of this would soon stop. Kyros used it only to buy him time to execute his plans.

Kyros retreated and soon found a few dead lizards, which the knights killed.

Kyros then sliced one open and began to drink its blood.

[Dark Consumer activated.]

Kyros began to absorb the dark energy to replenish his consumed mana and his Dark Source.

He then made his way towards the end of the tunnel.

The tunnel was getting thinner as Kyros noticed that there was no longer soil but rocks. Soon, a narrow rocky path that could only fit a few people was seen, and it led to a small room.

Kyros could see the knights fighting and attacking a few lizards who were there. Kyros joined in, and with his harassment, the lizards were soon killed.

As they killed the last lizard, they all made preparations to barricade the entrance with the bodies of the dead lizard. With Kyros\'s torch, the group discovered a small hole tunneling out.

"We should be able to escape here!" Aron cheered.

"No. Uncle, if we go there, we will definitely die. Remember what the Golem King said when it saw us. He wondered if another path was opened. This means that he knows all paths leading in and out of this lizard\'s nest. He didn\'t know we were brought inside through teleportation. The lizards must have created this small tunnel. Look at it! The lizards must have tried to dig their way from the solid ground. If we go in that small hole, what do you think we will face?"

"The golems!" Aron cursed.

"Exactly. The Golems seemed to have been charged with ensuring nothing goes in or out of this place. If the Golem King assumed we didn\'t use this path to go in here, it means that the exit is also heavily guarded. Some Lizards squads may be able to move out of the cave, but these must have been scouts! The earthquake must have opened new paths that allowed some of the lizards to move through. But after the batch that we killed and a few others we met, there were no more. That\'s why they didn\'t send a squad to attack us! They couldn\'t! The Golems also only hunted these Lizards, and it was us that provoked them. But if we try to go out now, the Golems will hunt us!" Kyros explained what he had realized since earlier before.

"Then what do we do?" Aron frowned.

"I have a crazy plan. But I think it can work." Kyros answered.
