Dungeon of Pride, Laplace-439 Chapter 439

A few days ago, Simon realised that he was not making any advancement towards the agreement he made with Aldebaran, thus he decided to make a move soon and paid a visit to the floor where Lightning Draconic Serpent was.

The reason he went to the Lightning Draconic Serpent was because he wanted to know more about the other overlords of the north that he needed to subdue.

"My lord, it is my incredible honour that you thought about me. Of course, I shall tell you about everything that I know about them" the lightning draconic serpent said wiggling its tail in delight.

Simon nodded his head and said "Out of the three overlords of the north, I know about you and the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon. However, even I am unaware of the last one".

Although he heard of the three overlords, in truth he had only met the two he mentioned above. As for the last one, though he did feel its presence when he was exploring the northern region, he never had the opportunity to meet it.

"It's no wonder that my lord doesn't know about the last one. After all, among the three of us, that guy is the most cautious one and does not come out of their territory easily. The Deep Sea Alligator King unlike me and the Earth shattering Lower dragon, rules over a large number of subordinates who do most of the work for it".

"Personally, I think it's just a lazy bum who sleeps around all day. Out of the three of us, he is weakest but due to the large number of subordinates that guy commands, it's quite a hassle to fight it".

The lightning draconic serpent said with a loathing tone. From its voice, Simon could tell that it looked down upon the deep sea alligator king, after all, the lightning draconic serpent took pride in its own strength while the former just used its numbers to suppress its enemies without confront them himself.

"The deep sea alligator king huh… does it mean that to subdue it I will have to first fight all of its subordinates?".

Simon mused, he did not know the exact number of subordinates the deep sea alligator king commanded. Thus if he were to start fighting all of its subordinates, by the time he reached it he would be all spent.

"That is not true my lord, you just need to lure its subordinates away. That guy, he is quite territorial, he would no doubt try to swarm you with their numbers the moment you intrude its territory while he himself will comfortably lie inside his lake".

"If my lord can lure the others, you would be able to fight that guy while he is all alone. How about lord Simon takes me with him, I know every tactic that guy might use" the lightning draconic serpent proposed.

Simon thought over the proposal, and looked at its large draconic eyes that were filled with expectation. It was not a bad idea to bring someone who was more knowledgeable about the overlord with him.

However, its size was just too large and eye-catching. The moment it teleports out of the dungeon, it would cause panic and alarm to spread amongst the inhabitants of the tower town. It would be the same case even if Simon teleported it a little away from the town.

Therefore Simon had no choice but to reject its proposal this time and take the Bloodthorn demonic warhorse with him. Unlike the former, the latter's size was much more manageable.

When Simon explained his reason, the lightning draconic serpent became a little disappointed. Nonetheless, it understood that its huge frame was just too eye catching and thus it had no choice but to give up in the end.

Simon asked a few more information about the deep sea alligator king, like its skills or any abilities that needed his attention.

"My lord, if you can do not fight it inside the water. I do not exactly, but it has a skill that increases its power drastically when fighting inside a water body. If possible, my lord should drag it outside its lake and fight it on the land. Additionally, my lord should be careful of its breath attack. Although it does not have any dragon blood, it is still capable of a breath attack".

The lightning draconic serpent informed everything that he knew about its former rival. Simon thanked the lightning draconic serpent before moving out with his warhorse.

He teleported the Bloodthorn demonic warhorse a few kilometres away from the tower town while he himself went to the tower town.

"It looks like it has sensed our presence" Simon stooped his train of thoughts when he felt a mighty pressure and an aura lock onto them. Needless to say, the aura was from the Deep Sea Alligator King.

The territory of the Deep Sea Alligator King was located in the far north lof the forest where a huge lake could be seen. The land around here was damp and the height of the trees a little low. There was not a single presence of other monsters around as all of them were scared away from the presence of the deep sea alligator king.

Simon and the Bloodthorn demonic warhorse landed a few kilometres away from the lake.

"Remember, do not release all of your aura or else the deep sea alligator king will just hole up inside its lake. You just need to attract its attention and lure away the subordinates it sends your way" Simon said going through their plan once again.

The Bloodthron demonic warhorse was a genuine disaster class being while the Deep Sea alligator king was yet to reach such a height. Thus if the Bloodthorn demonic warhorse really did release all of its aura, the latter might be scared shitless and just hole up inside its lake.

Simon was cautious about the thing that the Lightning draconic Serpent said about not fighting it inside the lake. Thus if possible, he wanted to tempt the deep sea alligator king into stepping outside.

"Don't worry my lord, I ensure you that nobody will get in your fight against the deep sea alligator king" The Bloodthorn demonic warhorse said thumping loudly on the ground. After that, it unfolded its wings once again and flew towards the direction of the lake while Simon hid his presence using the Ice Phoenix's Sigh.

<strong>BOOOM… BOOOM…</strong>

The Bloodthorn demonic warhorse did not hesitate to let its presence known by firing a few huge fireballs into the lake. Hot steam rose from the lake and with the last attack as the catalyst, ripples started appearing across the entire lake and before long, a deep guttural noise came from the depth of the lake.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh… hundreds of water pillars rose from the lake and from it surfaced hundreds of lizardmen.

Simon who was looking at this scene from his hidden place, immediately identified the species to be an evolved form of lizardmen that spawned in his dungeon. Unlike the mutated ones he created himself using the mutation crystals, the ones in front of him were standard evolution of lizardmen. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Race- Elder Lizardman

Level-391,

Skills- water magic mastery, Cut Resistance, Blunt Resistance, Super Defence, Super Strength, Hard Skin, Berserk, Strong Bite, Tail Slam, hydro Blast, Swift Swim, Spike, Deadly Claws.

When he used [Analysis] on them, this was the result he got.

"So they are called Elder Lizardman" Simon recalled that they were on the list of monsters that can be spawned inside the dungeon. However, the option was greyed out since his dungeon was still too low ranked. If he wanted to spawn monsters like Elden lizardmen and bloodhounds, he would have to wait until his dungeon ranks up to [C].

Anyways, even if there were hundreds of them around level 390 to 399, they were still not a match for the Bloodthorn demonic warhorse. However, the point was not to eradicate them all but to lure them away.

The Bloodthorn demonic warhorse fired a few big fireballs at the lake enraging the lizardmen and the overlord that was hiding inside it.

<strong>GRRRUUHHHH…</strong> the water on the surface of the lake started trembling intensely and a huge entity peeked its head out of the lake.

Pointed snout, elongated jaws riddled with razor-sharp teeth and a menacing appearance enough to scare anyone away. Blackish grey skin covered with bony plate-shaped scales showcased its incredible defence.

The being was enormous, just its head that was peeking out of the water was more than six meters. There was no mistaking the creature, the Deep Sea Alligator King finally showed its appearance. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

'So it's out' Simon who was hiding his presence a few kilometres away looked at the Deep Sea Alligator King. He did not use his [Analysis] on it because there was a high chance that it would reveal his position.

After the Deep Sea Alligator king peeked its head out of the water, it looked at the Bloodthorn demonic warhorse flying in the sky and roared. With its roar that was enough to shake the surrounding land, all the Elder Lizardmen started baring their fangs at the assailant.

Hundreds of them charged towards the Bloodthron demonic warhorse who remained unfazed by their numbers. To make sure that he had the attention and aggression of every lizardmen present, the Bloodthorn demonic warhorse used its downgraded version of its infernal magic to take out a few lizardmen charging towards it.

<strong>BOOMM…</strong>.

The lizardmen who got consumed by the flames issued a deep wail before succumbing to their death.

SHAAA… the other lizardmen seeing their clansmen die in front of their eyes, became enraged and started charging towards the Bloodthorn demonic without regarding anything else.
