Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 112: Completing a new guild mission
"Uncle, did you fix it right?" she asked, and he nodded.
"Those are the two most important missions in Rank B that have not been released. They were saved to be given to a Rank A group as a reward for completing an important mission, as it brings huge rewards despite not being dangerous. As you told me, I took it upon myself to choose the ones with the highest number of authentic bodies." he said as Alice read the document.
Once completed, the two missions should yield 120 corpses total, and they are good missions.
Even Matt wasn't expecting something this good.
'That's amazing.' He thought, smiling.
Having 120 corpses that they could use for the bloody treasure is a beautiful blessing. They could become even more powerful than they already are because of this.
Isla was totally confused, though. She grabbed Matt's sleeve hesitantly, "What is this?" she asked doubtfully, and Matt smiled.
He then leaned close to her ear and commented on some of what was happening, which surprised her, and she looked at Alice.
'I didn't expect Miss Alice to like cheating. She even did something like this, amazing.' She thought.
Still, they couldn't last long on those missions to keep the higher-ups from getting suspicious. So Matt, Alice, and Isla, after saying goodbye to Alice's uncle, decided to go back to the academy.
Classes were supposed to be about to start already, but it's also because from there, it's closer to go to complete the missions given by the guild.
While it may seem like a retreat from an unfinished mission without being able to learn much about the organization they were up against, the truth is that Matt wanted to get some information from Reagan Cooper so he could find out what was on that token. He felt that the secrets in the token were the key to discovering more information about this organization.
So, they went back to the academy.
Still, once they returned, they learned that Reagan Cooper had not yet returned, and a temporary teacher was assigned to Matt and Isla's class.
Still, neither went to class, as they needed to complete guild missions.
As such, they were two missions.
The first one is to catch the Night Lizard King, a Lizard in human form who lives in an area called 'The Eastern Marshes'.
That place is quite dangerous, as it is a set of immense swamps where many powerful beasts live. Giant snakes are common there, but there is a rumor about a Dragon King who lives deep in that place.
Those are just rumors, though; the depths of the East Marshes are a long way from where Matt goes hunting.
The Night Lizard King lives near the East Marshes, next to a slowly sinking mountain and a forest nearby.
Moreover, he does not live alone. He has a Clan of Humanoid Lizards, although they are lizards that feed on vampires and animals that have any characteristics like vampires, which is why they are a target of the guild.
The Night Lizard King was confirmed to have a power of 5,000, and most of the Clan members only have between 1,000 and 2,000, so they are not powerful.
This group is 80 in total.
It's a staggering amount, but the truth is they're not that dangerous. These lizards are not experts in combat or anything like that. Their weapons are clubs or their own hands; in the best cases, they have swords that they stole from other races. However, they don't know how to maintain them to make them sharp, so they are in terrible shape.
That's why Matt, Alice, and Isla were determined to get this the moment they saw it.
'That's 80 corpses right there... I wonder how much blood we'll get from this.' Matt thought, smiling.
At the same time, he looked at Alice and Isla standing next to him.
"The idea is that the part underneath the corpses is left in good shape, so let's attack to take off their heads with precise attacks and without allowing them to fight. I will attack the Lizard King from behind, as I can move there unnoticed. Once I assassinate him, I will throw my dagger to warn you that it is time." Matt said, and they both nodded.
Then Matt disappeared from his spot and started walking towards that place.
The lizards live in small huts made of sticks and dry leaves, so they have no security. Still, several of them stand guard every day.
For Matt, security in this place was just child's play, so he was soon in the main hut. It was larger than the rest, and inside was a giant lizard with some female lizards.
Matt wasted no time and slowly approached the oversized lizard, getting behind it in a moment.
He then summoned his dagger.
'Catching powerful ones while they are doing this kind of deed has always been the best way to assassinate.' Matt thought and recalled a scene from the past in which he killed a Hunter of a higher rank than his own in the same manner.
This time, it was to be no different.
He imbued his dagger with icy energy and swiped it quickly across the lizard king's neck...
It was a smooth but swift movement that no one could see. Even so, a blood spurt soon came out as the lizard king's huge head fell to the ground.
At the same instant, Matt swung his dagger forcefully to where one of the female lizards was standing with a face full of confusion and cut off its head.
After that, he threw his dagger forcefully outwards and jumped towards where the last female lizard was, grabbing her by the head and, with a quick and simple movement, broke all the bones in her neck, separating her head from her body, causing another spurt of blood to shoot upwards. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Just then, Alice and Isla, who were patiently waiting, rushed at high speed towards their targets.
Four heads flew on each side instantly, mixed with an explosion. That alarmed all the lizards who came out to see what was happening.
Matt then shot out of the lizard king's hut, dropped his head on the ground, and severed several more heads in one motion.
"WE ARE ATTACKED!"
"THE LIZARD KING IS DEAD!"
"THEY KILLED OUR KING, KILL THOSE BASTARDS!"
Several successive screams came from the mouths of the lizards, but at the same time, they screamed; Alice's sword and Matt's dagger cut their throats with agility and speed.
It was a good thing they all got out. In a few minutes, the battle was over, thanks to that. And Matt smiled.
He was amazed at something, though.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong, Alice. That's the first time I've seen you being so dominant and decisive." He spoke.
He could tell that something had changed in Alice, and maybe it was because she was now more decisive and didn't hesitate much about what to do.
That made her combat ability amazing.
The fact that she matched Matt's speed amazed him, not only him but Isla as well. However, she was no slouch either.
