Chapter 28 Lizard Man Invasion (Part IV)

[Olareno POV]

"You rat! Now you die!"

This woman was annoying to deal with. But with this last attack, she would be gone for good. This fight is my victory!

Using one of my strongest attacks, I sent a slash capable of slashing space. The woman's name Constance will now finally die to my attack.

"Gahaha! Victory is mine!"

A victory never tasted this sweet. Even though my opponent was annoying, she was worthy of my challenge. Since she is dead, no one will stop me.

With my attack gone, I saw a figure in the sky. Two people were in the sky, one of whom was the woman I was fighting.

"HOW!"

The woman was unscathed by my attack. How was this possible? I refuse to believe this! Using an attack of the same caliber, I sent another attack.

"MY ARMS!"

Looking at my arms, they were cut off. What had happened? I didn't see anything attacking me. But before I could do anymore...

[Third Person POV]

"Constance, you've grown weak. An opponent of this caliber shouldn't be too hard for you."

"Cyrus..."

In front of Constance was a man named Cyrus. Cyrus was a man wearing a black outfit that covered his whole body. Not much was known about him, but he is the first in the overall ranking.

"Since my job is done, I'm leaving."

"Wait!"

Without heeding her words, Cyrus left. The Saintess could only sigh. She knew how Cyrus would act, so she wasn't too angry about it.

[All of the invaders are eliminated!]

[Defenders Ranking:]

[First: Cyrus Morse]

[Second: Charles Anderson]

[Third: Constance Oslen]

[Rewards Distributed]

"Charles Anderson..."

Constance muttered, seeing an unfamiliar name. She didn't expect someone else to be ranked higher than her. But shrugged it off as she was tired from a long fight.

Seeing the destruction she had caused, she couldn't help but sigh. As someone called the Saintess, she had killed too many in this battle.

Using her remaining mana, she used her skill and healed everyone in the area. Everyone dying recovered, but it was already too late for the dead.

How many people did Constance kill? Even though she did her best to protect the world, sacrifices must be made.

With all her remaining mana gone, like Cyrus, she left the city to recover.

[Charles POV]

The rewards were distributed after every invader had been killed. I got second place, and first place must be insanely intense.

[Rewards Calculating]

[Twenty-Four Invaders Killed]

[Reward Received]

[Revival Crystal Received]

[Revival Crystal: This item could be used once someone dies. The time limit for its use is an hour.]

This item was strangely convenient. Reina, still grieving, was on her knees in front of her brother's dead body.

"Reina, if you pay me a lot, I will revive your brother."

I read a lot about the Burgess family after visiting them. Their assets are more than trillions of cash. Maybe I could get a few shares after reviving her brother.

Reina then looked at me with tears in her eyes. There was still hope in her eyes, hearing me say I could revive her brother.

"I will do it. Please, bring my brother back."

She then holds my hand tightly, begging me to do so. Her usual attitude turned one-eighty. And judging by how she will act, this would now be her personality.

Since she had agreed, she better hold the end of her deal. Taking the revival crystal from my system, I placed it on her brother.

I wished Tristan's body was in a better condition. I now had blood in my finger, but the crystal was absorbed into Tristan's body.

Both Reina and I looked at her brother's body. The mushed body was now recovering. His body was reshaped into its original shape.

That was a sight to see. Tristan's body was fixed in a matter of seconds. From his injuries, it wouldn't be surprising if he was going to be in a coma.

Now that I had used my rare item, Tristan would wake up. Reina cried again for the second time out of joy.

I wouldn't have believed it if I were ever told that Reina would cry twice. But considering the circumstances, it did.

Tristan's eyes began to twitch, and he was beginning to be awakened. Her nervousness could be seen.

They haven't had a proper conversation in the last six years. And now that I was with them, it couldn't be even more awkward.

"Reina..."

Tristan spoke for the first time after his rebirth.

[Third Person POV]

[All of the invaders are eliminated!]

[Defenders Ranking:]

[First: Cyrus Morse]

[Second: Charles Anderson]

[Third: Constance Oslen]

"To think Cyrus has made his move."

"Of course, he would. He is the strongest and would defend our world."

In the underground, where the other evaluators are located, everyone saw the rewards handed out to the contributors and couldn't help but be amazed at who they saw.

"Not only that, but the Saintess had also arrived. But who is Charles? I had never seen or heard of him before."

"Ah! I remember who he is! He is engaged to the Burgess family's daughter!"

"I remember too! I saw both of them holding hands during the party! To think a man as young as him would be that powerful!"

With the invasion now over, everyone was talking happily. A conversation about Charles was being made left and right.

"Doesn't that mean Charles was summoning these monsters from hell???"

"..."

"Well, shit! We can't piss him off. Let's do everything to get him on our side."

"That man is right. He might even be stronger than Cyrus in the future. We should assist him early so we can earn a favor from him.

Everyone attending today's ceremony was businessmen/businesswomen or essential people of some kind.

A woman who knew him, at least for some part, couldn't help but sigh. Her daughter's boyfriend was going to be a new sensation after this event.

The woman couldn't help but hope for her daughter to keep that boy.
