Chapter 60: Chapter 59: It’s Yila!

"Hiss~ It’s been dealt with."

Kalakapapa squinted his eyes and nodded at the Lizardman Executioner who reported this... This Prophet had always been at odds with him. If it weren’t for his considerable respect within the territory, Kalakapapa would have dealt with him long ago.

Now, his chronic headache had finally been resolved.

"Hiss~ Understood. You may leave now..."

Kalakapapa said, quietly staying in the Lord Hall... Unlike the previous generation of Lizardman chieftain, who would always be surrounded by various Lizardman beauties in the hall.

But he was different. He knew deeply how wine and women could corrupt a Lizardman, after all, he was the one who easily challenged and defeated the former chieftain.

Kalakapapa, being a Lizardman who had transcended base desires, had no interest in beauty or wine. He didn’t enjoy too much excitement; he preferred to be alone as a Lizardman.

To reiterate, he was a Lizardman who had transcended base desires.

Rather than these material pleasures, he preferred... newer forms of material enjoyment, like Elf slaves. If possible, he wouldn’t mind accepting a dragon breed or a High-level Enchanting Demon.

But such high-grade races were a bit too expensive, beyond his economic level and exceeded most slave traders’ capture capabilities. So Elf slaves it was... He just needed to wait another three or four months to afford one.

The weaker the race felt deep down, the more self-abased they became, so conversely, they desperately needed to prove their nobility. This could manifest as angrily arguing with others or subjugating an originally high-standing race beneath them.

How much the other party detested and looked down on them didn’t matter... What mattered was the victory in their own heart.

*Every time he thought of such scenes, the typically cruel look in Kalakapapa’s eyes would reveal traces of a hidden smile. This was the dream of the Lizardman chieftain named Kalakapapa.*

*It was the extent of his ambition; that was all there was to it.*

...

"Chieftain! There’s trouble!!!"

Just when Kalakapapa was immersed in his daydreams, a frantic shout came from outside the Lord Hall, which annoyed him. However, as a chieftain, he still calmly asked, "Hiss~ What’s going on?"

Kalakapapa quickly reviewed the recent events in his mind. The harvest from the cactus farm had been good, and the chicken farm should be fine... For some reason, he had a bad feeling.

*It was a feeling as ominous as the Prophet’s prediction.*

"Hiss~ It’s the golems! More than ten golems have appeared..."

The Lizardman stopped mid-sentence.

"Boom! Boom! Boom... Boom!!!!!!"

Several loud explosions followed, accompanied by one final thunderous crash, making the Lord Hall shake perceptibly even from within.

But more than this, he was concerned about what the reporting Lizardman had to say.

"Golems?! But they should belong to the Demon King Territory..."

Kalakapapa, nervously hissing and flicking his tongue, pushed open the Lord Hall’s door, only to see the walls of his territory reduced to rubble, with golems crawling out of the debris.

And, of course, countless headless knights standing in formation beyond the ruins, with Insect Men arriving in the center... The distance was too great for him to make out their numbers.

But surely, the number couldn’t be small.

"The Demon King’s army? But..."

*In an instant, Kalakapapa thought of many things, and immediately understood why the Demon King’s army was upon him. But... from what he knew, he was not the worst offender, so why was he the first to suffer?*

*Moreover, how did Satan Ye summon the courage to attack? It was impossible...*

"What were the scouts doing? Hiss!!"

*Knowing he was doomed, Kalakapapa raged, completely unable to understand why their scouts hadn’t seen the approaching army from such a great distance.*

*The golems moved slowly; even transported by headless knights, their size should have allowed them to be spotted from far away.*

*Though, if the Demon King really wanted to eliminate the rebels, knowing earlier wouldn’t have made a difference...*

*"*

"Ah... Ahh... Ahh..."

However, the Lizardman beside him couldn’t utter a word. His eyes bulged as he stared at the distant sky, struggling in shock like he had seen the world’s most terrifying thing. His body trembled, and he let out desperate, meaningless cries: "Ahh... Ahh... Ah..."

Kalakapapa, not understanding what he was doing, clenched his teeth and looked towards the direction the other Lizardman was staring at.

"What are you...?"

*And then, in that moment, Kalakapapa saw it too. Suddenly, he understood why the Lizardman territory was shrouded in such deathly silence, the type where it felt like everyone had died in an instant.*

*High in the sky, two figures hovered – one of them was that young Crimson Dragon Demon King, her face determined as if she was preparing to say something.*

*And the other one...*

*The name that was caught in Kalakapapa’s throat, suppressed deep down, could not be uttered... That monster was undoubtedly...*

*With Crimson Dragon wings on their back, the one who had devoured the former respected Demon Lord, the terrifying Governor... was... was... was...*

*Kalakapapa stood frozen in place, eyes nearly bursting out of their sockets as he stared at the indifferent man floating in the air. He felt an immense urge to shout the name in fury.*

*But he failed... He lacked the courage to do so.*

"Yila... Yila Elkaras..."

*Finally, what escaped from Kalakapapa’s mouth were words tinged with despair, almost like a cry. He looked up at Yila in the sky, and at that exact moment, Yila looked in his direction too.*

"Gulp... Gulp..."

*He lost even the courage to swallow his saliva in that instant.*

*The two pairs of eyes met. The amber Lizardman eyes, bloodshot from terror, stared into the calm, human black eyes.*

*Like a person looking down on a wary little reptile, the gaze was overwhelmingly, ridiculously calm, as still as dead water.*
