Re Lizard

"Normal speech"

'Normal thoughts'

"Berserk, god, demon or massive being talking"

"speech in an unknown language by Ling-Rou"

(Day 22 continued)

"So what did you want to talk about Ms Giant" sarcasm heavily in my voice.

"My name is Frexa but we can work on our nicknames together after… Scaly" Frexa smiled. "Anyway, I only came here to arrange our relationship between us after you stepped into our area".

My face dropped "very odd way to phrase that". I gulped silently 'in my previous life and what I have been told here, aren't giants meant to be brutes with a similar personality but this Frexa seems so nonchalant like nothing really matters'. "So what kind of relationship did you want with us?"

Frexa raised one eyebrow "us, I want nothing to do with goblins". She waved them off "all goblins are goods for is a bite to eat, they are so weak and useless I killed their leader with a small kick on accident, I can't even eat him since he's mush against a tree now". A crazed gaze caught them "as the little rebellious giant that I am, I need a strong breeding puppet to give me an heir so I will be the ruler of giants and-".

"HOLD IT, let me stop you right there" I yelled interrupting her. "Just get to the point… please, I really don't care for your reasons".

Frexa frowned "I am not going easy on you tonight, my little scaly slave". She took out her weapon, a large two handed mallet.

"So you couldn't get a guy the normal way, shame on you for trying to force yourself on me" I snickered. 'And if I'm right, you will charge right into my trap Frexa' I unsheathed my sword. 'Eh?' I blinked.

"S-shut up, I-I can get any man I want" Frexa blushed. "Yeah any man will fall for my amazing charms" she roared with a light blush still.

"Your charm? Where? Do you have a pendant under your armour or something?" I winked. Frexa clenched her teeth "Did I hit a nerve?"

"Fuck you" she charged at me like a beast raising her mallet above her head.

'She's fast' I dived to the side landing into a roll to avoid her slamming the mallet on to the ground. 'No she's not fast, I'm about three times faster than her but given her size she can cover the same ground as me but that's not my only problem'. I looked back to Frexa and the ground she hit 'It seems her strength is a bit much, she created a crater larger than me'. The giant raised her mallet again and swung left 'not enough time to jump back'. I ducked under her swing but her foot landed on my chest, booting me several meters in the air before landing on my back. 'Yep I knew it' I threw up a cup full of blood. 'If I get hit directly by her weapon once even if I block I'm going to be a dead man'.

"Oh my, are you hurt?" Frexa mocked. "Did little Scaly get a boo-boo?"

I pushed myself into a crouch "yeah… guess I did". I internally groaned 'I'm acting tough now but I think maybe a couple of ribs are broken… the goblins aren't fighting which is probably for the best so they don't get in my way. I need to do this quickly or this might be the end for me' I charged at her. Frexa held her mallet up high 'if she's going for the counter, I'll need to go faster'. I slowed my charge down until I was within two meters of Frexa and pounced at my fastest 'please tell me this will work'.

"You lose Scaly" she brought the mallet down. I purposely fell on my back to skid between her legs before the mallet hit.

'Now!' using my tail as leverage I pounced back at her hacking at the back of her legs. Frexa's legs jittered in reflex kicking me once again 'Wow giants are tough I nearly broke my sword after cutting her and the cuts weren't even enough to cripple her'. I sighed as Frexa turned around with a limp 'but at least I managed to slow her down a bit'.

"You little piece of-ah" I dived at her again stabbing her gut this time. "Come here you bastard" I jumped back away from the giant as she tried to grasp me in her hand. "Just die" she body tackled me to the ground, pinning me down.

'Shit I don't want to die' Frexa reverse gripped the mallet like she was going to mash potatoes. 'No, no this can't be happening' she hovered the mallet just above my face before lifting it high. 'I want to live so I WILL' a dark purple aura covered my left hand as I flailed about.

"What's that, what are you doing?" Frexa looked in curiosity but it didn't last. As I flailed the purple aura launched from my hand in the shape of a cannonball an hit Frexa's wrist, tearing right through it as her right hand and mallet fell to the ground. "M-my… h-h-hand…" Frexa stared at it coldly. "MY HAND" Frexa screamed grabbing her stump of a wrist.

"Maybe… you should… be the one to die" a hazy fog covered my sight but her outline was clear to me, her every breath, muscle contraction, blood flowing, heart beating. 'I can see it all' I gripped her thigh as my claws pieced itself into her leg.

"W-what the hell are you" Frexa grabbed the closet object which happened to be a rock and slammed it against my face.

"Just someone… who wants… to… eat…" I created another purple cannonball and tossed it directly at Frexa's face in retribution. That was the last thing I saw before my vision blurred to a point I could no longer see. 'What's happening? I can feel my body moving but it's like my body is moving on its own'.

(Third person POV)

"Fucking hell, the guy just turned into a bloody beast" one of the four surrounding giants mumbled.

"Well there goes our rebellion plan to become the leaders of giants" the second giant signalled the other three. "There's no point in staying here any longer".

The first giant nodded "lets just follow the clan leader and blame this guy for everything".

The third began walking away "let's just go, there isn't any honour for those that fall in battle to one opponent". The other three nodded leaving the area.

Meanwhile, Rou had been surrounded completely in the purple aura as well as blood from both his injuries and Frexa's corpse. After being completely enveloped by the aura, Rou just began to claw the armour and clothing off before taking a massive bite then pulled his head back allowing the muscles to snap off like string cheese. It was not long before Frexa's right leg that pinned him down, was nearly completely devoured bones included.

"Psst hey hobgoblin Sei, hobgoblin Sato what do we do?" a goblin whispered to the new leaders of the group.

"There's no way we can deal with a monster like that" another goblin added.

Sato blinked blankly and pointed to herself "who made me into the leader, I've never made a good decision in my life".

Sei grumbled "why did you have to talk so loud, he had just finished eating and you had to bring attention to us".

(First person POV)

'Wait I can see and control my body again' I looked at my hands to see the purple aura still enveloping me. 'I suppose it does give me a scary vibe if anything what Rei said was true when I black out the first time' I turned back to see just a blood puddle of where Frexa was laying. 'Did I eat her whole? Looks like I kept the ability too eat as much as I like with gaining weight, that's good because of all the things I still need to eat'. I looked up to see the goblins had either collapsed as they gave up while some even urinated themselves. Hobgoblin Sei didn't react but just stared at me with her somewhat usual dead eyed look, unlike the others it looked like she would fight back even if it was obvious she would lose. Hobgoblin Sato was… a whole different person from Sei, lacking all the mage's wisdom and ran on impulse, when I gazed in her direction…

"Mr. Lizardman Sir" Sato bowed her head. "The strong protect the weak but they also take the weak so…" Sato turned around. "As this is probably why you came after us and, saved us from giants and stuff… so for our safety, please take what you want".

I tilted my head in confusion 'what the hell is she going on about? I mean, oh okay that's what she means by strong takes the weak'. I face palmed but continued to stare as Sato went on all fours, face down and ass up. 'She must think I came out here like a stereotypical monster that rapes everything that moves and thinks if she offers herself, everything will be fine' I sighed. 'I mean she is pretty for a goblin an all and I am really curious about my ability libido plus intense stamina, combined together'.

"No I am not going to take you hobgoblin just because of an urge" I pointed to Sato.

Sei sneered "is it me that you want then?"

"Nah" I waved the idea away. "Not the type of guy that forces myself on anyone, I'm just that much of a nice guy".

A snort of laughter came from Sei uncharacteristically "a nice guy, what do you think you are? A forest guardian?".

"Fair enough maybe not nice but decent enough none the less" I chuckled and coughed. 'Aw shit' I stared down to see blood. 'Looks like I got hit harder than I thought' collapsing to my knees, I saw it, the wicked smirks of the regular goblins.

"This is our chan-" a goblin started.

"Oh shut it, this guy just saved us, we are not going to hurt him" Sei shook her head. "If you want to try to kill that beast I'm not helping".

Sato tilted her head innocently "aren't we all friends now, Mr. Lizardman is very nice".

The same goblin that started yelled "no of course we aren't friends, not after he slaughtered a ton of us".

"Even though it was self defence and then I saved you after" I added subtly.

"Yeah that and… shut up you damn lizard, let's get him while he is down" the other goblins roared in approval.

I groaned in pain as I stood up "I will kill you if you try to kill me, if you don't then I won't harm a hair on your head".

"He's bluffing, look at the state he's in" the goblin jumped at me with a shiv. "Kill him now" I shook my head batting the goblin with my right claw, accidently decapitating the goblin.

'FUCK, my bloody hand, that hurt so much' I remained calm on the outside. 'I thought using the overwhelming strength ability would make this overkill but I didn't realise I would get that kind of recoil'. I picked up the goblin's knife and just started swinging 'maybe a giant's body is just that durable that they don't get the recoil, I'm probably just not ready to use that ability yet… oh that's anticlimactic'. I dropped the goblin knife as every goblin that attacked me was already dead 'that was too easy, I guess goblins are known for being relatively weak in comparison to everything else'. I looked towards those that didn't attack me 'wait it's only the two hobgoblins left'. I have closed my eyes 'shit I can't black out just… yet'. The darkness began to numb my senses as my body was unwilling to move.

"Hey Sei"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"I know he has killed at lot of goblins but we also killed lots of lizard kin"

"What's the point"

"Should we help him after all we would be dead if it wasn't for him"

"Do what you like but I am not going to help you carry him, Sato"

"So ~stingy~ hehe"

"Am not"

"Are too"
