Chapter 106: Diamond Lizard
Just as the two goblins were recounting the events.
The ground suddenly trembled.
The atmosphere was filled with a claustrophobic feeling, as if even the elements were restless.
“It’s over… We’ve been discovered!”
“It’s the Diamond Lizard! Damn it, we can’t stay here any longer. Can you help us pass this message to our tribe? We will try to buy time for that big guy!”
“Ding”
System Notification: Kainel has issued you an A-level mission ‘Deliver the Message’. Do you accept?
Deliver the Message is an A-level mission?
System Notification: Please make your choice within 3 seconds! An unknown force is about to appear!
The sudden pop-up startled Zane, and he hurriedly accepted.
The two goblins showed a relieved expression, “It seems humans aren’t entirely bad; our thoughts weren’t mistaken.”
After saying that, they shouted, “You guys sitting on that strange big beetle, run! Head west from here, and you will soon see our temporary base. Tell them, the Diamond Lizard is coming!!”
The two scouts dashed forward recklessly, not pausing even as sweat poured from their bodies due to the relentless shadow they felt.
Quite brave, though their legs were shaking.
“Wait!” Starry activated Thousand Flash Step and easily positioned herself in front of the two.
The two goblins didn’t understand what she was trying to do.
Zane slowly said from behind, “You can deliver the message, but not through us. You should go yourselves.”
Kainel understood what these two human girls meant.
“You’re crazy! The power of the Diamond Lizard is something you can’t even imagine! If you don’t leave now, no one will survive!!”
Starry lightly laughed and twirled her sword, “How do you know unless you try?”
They turned pale.
“Libri, go back and relay the message! I will buy time!” Kainel declared resolutely.
“There’s no time left…” Libri’s eyes reflected the image of a massive brown figure.
The Diamond Lizard had arrived!
“Are the Snow Feather Goblins really going to be exterminated…? Damn it!”
A gigantic lizard, over 5 meters long and 2 meters wide, appeared in their sight. Its overall color was brownish-black, with a flat head resembling an enlarged gecko, a light gray underside that gradually darkened towards the back.
Its limbs were stiff and sturdy, clearly much stronger than a gecko. Although it looked smaller than a velociraptor, one can’t generalize between monsters.
Check Attributes!
Diamond Lizard:
Rarity: Gold Grade
Level: 30
Health: 37500
Physical Attack Power: 205-257
Magical Attack Power: 298-335
Physical Defense: 250
Magical Defense: 250
Skills: Roar, Elemental Impact, Devour
Description: The Diamond Lizard tribe, fond of crystal stones, can wield elemental power and possesses a body as tough as diamond, impervious to blades and spears.
A Gold-grade monster! No wonder these goblins stood no chance; the stat panel indicates an absolute crush, even incapable of breaking defense.
Some skills piqued Zane’s interest; a boss that blends physical and magical abilities could potentially take Starry down in one hit—better to be cautious.
“Roar——！！！！” The lizard was insulted that its prey didn’t flee in panic.
System Notification: You are affected by ‘Roar’, entering ‘Intimidation’ status. All attack power reduced by 20%.
Damn, such a disgusting debuff?
Moreover, this move can’t be dispelled at will; debuffs and controls are entirely different systems. Without purification or dispelling, I have to hold on to this buff.
“Prayer——Blessing!”
Fortunately, with the crisp sound of the blessing, one can noticeably feel the lost power returning, although there’s still a difference.
The attack boost from Blessing is based on current attack power.
That is, 0.8*1.2=0.96, still slightly reduced, but a mere 4% isn’t much to worry about.
The goblin beside them fainted from the roar, so there’s no hope of them helping.
Thousand Flash Step!
Taking advantage of the enemy’s unresponsiveness, Normal Attack + Ice Moon Slash + Normal Attack!

The frost slash hit the Diamond Lizard’s head, but there were no signs of freezing; it seems completely immune. This strike also triggered the light effect, greatly increasing movement speed.
The massive creature, in pain, opened its gaping mouth, which was pitch black inside; one could barely see its sharp fangs. It was the Devour skill!
No way! If I’m swallowed, even the highest physical defense would kneel!
However, the lizard’s mouth had an inexplicable pulling force, dragging Starry backward—danger!
“Prayer——Vine!”
Countless tendrils flew out, tightly wrapping around the lizard’s jaw, but they couldn’t get it to close at all; this was essentially ineffective!
No way? Could Starry really be eaten like this?
Suddenly, a rustling sound came, and a gray-black figure rushed past Zane, causing a gust of wind.
Boom!
The massive impact caused the Diamond Lizard to sway, even interrupting its Devour.
“Nice job, Mo Se!” Zane exclaimed with joy.
However, this action resulted in the Diamond Lizard changing its target. The sharp horns on its head glowed with a brown light, shining brightly in this space, and something seemed to fly towards its horn!
Mo Se, watch out!
Zane certainly wouldn’t allow him to cause havoc.
With a fierce movement, Starry raised the Qiu Yue Sword and activated the Frenzied Sword Technique!
Prayer——Spirit Heart!
At the same time, with an effect of absolute critical hit, the sword energy exploded towards the sharp part of the Diamond Lizard’s horns.
-10685
A terrifying amount of damage—over five digits!
“Roar——! Roar——!”
However, this didn’t interrupt its spell casting; the tip of the horn appeared surprisingly tough.
The Diamond Lizard’s massive eyes widened in anger!
A terrifying elemental force was gathered and hurled towards Mo Se!
Prayer——Flame!
At the critical moment, the Fire Curtain rose, standing in front of the Sacred Demon Beetle. Mo Se sensed the danger and activated his only skill, Dig!
In less than a second, the Fire Curtain showed cracks.
Elna had blocked the Undead Wolf King’s dark breath in the same way; if the attack intensity is too high, this move won’t hold for long!
Crack!
The flame barrier was utterly shattered by the powerful brown-black elemental impact, and at the same time, Mo Se frantically moved his limbs and dug a large hole underground, diving in.
Puff——!
The elemental impact relentlessly struck the distant stone wall, piercing straight through; who knows how much damage that attack could do!
Seeing that Mo Se was safe, Zane felt relieved. Starry flipped the Qiu Yue Sword, swinging her body, the blade moving in big arcs, Normal Attack + Dance of Blades + Normal Attack!
-2786

-5607
Lucky, the third hit was a critical!
The Diamond Lizard seemed to sense its life ebbing away, unwilling to fall down just like that, and charged its horns with elemental light again!
Here it comes!?
Starry reacted quickly, swinging her sword and triggering a Qiu Yue Strike, dealing a hefty 6704 damage, and the Diamond Lizard collapsed!
This Diamond Lizard was too ferocious; it probably ranks among the elite even among Gold-grade monsters.
Suddenly, the Diamond Lizard’s body dropped straight down!
What?
Cautiously moving closer, Zane realized that Mo Se had dug out the space beneath it and was presently munching away.
Zane felt exasperated; how could you even eat a body as tough as diamond?
