--------------------------------------

Before Ryu enters into action, he opened the system tab to use the remaining of his free points; there were yet 10 points to use from the last two levels he gained from defeating the three scumbags that tried to **** Cahya.

Even those 10 points could not solve the mess his stats had become, the fight against the iron skin boar, he used all his stats in agility to reach Clark's son in time, and in the last battle, he used more points in 'agility' to save Cahya.

Ryu looked at his stats and, without much hesitation, put 7 points on 'strength' and 3 points on 'dexterity'; these points were extremely necessary to cross the cliff, as he would need 'strength' to jump a longer distance and 'dexterity' to have better control over his movement.

With all the preparations done, Ryu hastened his pace, soon reaching the outer layer of lizards, where were the smallest and weakest lizards, so far, there was no interference with him. That was until he got closer, and one of the great lizards near the mother noticed him and emitted a shriek.

Instantly, all the lizards towards him, some pointing their horns while others prepared their claws to attack. As Ryu approached the inner layer, he was completely surrounded, with no room to proceed further.

In this situation, using the vanishing raindrop shadow to pass will be the easiest way, which was what he had planned to do in the inner layer from the very beginning another alternative was to draw his sword and go on a killing spree, those small lizards were all at rank 0 Ryu could deal with them quite easily, but this would trigger all the other and make his job much harder.

However, Ryu chose a third way to handle the situation, focusing on his spirit to draw power from his body in an unseen burst of pressure spread around affecting the surrounding lizards, this was the power of his newly acquired stat; aura.

At the moment Ryu's aura expanded, all rank 0 lizards recoiled in awe, emitting a cry; they couldn't hold against the pressure coming their way. But that pressure has only affected the rank 0 lizards, for the rank 1 ones continued to move Ryu's way unaffected.

The aura proved its efficacy, for the rank 0 lizards retracted, a path opened up, allowing Ryu to move closer to the inner layer, but the rank 1 lizards moved quickly to cover the gap and stall Ryu.

A great lizard moved the massive head in his direction and threw its large pink tongue; the heavy tongue came his way fast if this move landed on Ryu's chest, as the lizard intended, he would surely go down with a few ribs broken.

But, Ryu was expecting it, dodging to the side, he moved even closer to the inner layer, in a move that surprised the lizards. As if they recognized the Ryu's threat, all the great lizards changed positions, placing themselves between him and the leader.

That movement on the lizards part was within Ryu's plan, as the leader was left unprotected on the other side of the pack; Ryu activated his movement technique to pass the layer of lizards.

A circle with marked spots appeared in Ryu's vision, he chose one of those marks, behind a lizard right in his front, and vanished from his position reappearing, in the next moment, at the marked place, the lizards panicked when their foe disappeared and started to shriek aloud.

Taking advantage of the lizards' confusion, Ryu covered half distance to the mother leader before the lizards noticed his position and could reorganize to encircle him, however, once they blocked his way, and attacks came from various directions, Ryu activated the vanishing raindrop steps escaping the death trap.

Taking advantage of the lizards' confusion, Ryu covered half the distance to the lead mother before the lizards noticed his position and could reorganize to encircle him. As the lizards managed to block his path and launch attacks from various directions, Ryu activated the vanishing raindrop steps disappearing and escaping the death trap.

Much to the lizards' dismay, Ryu appeared close to the lead mother, moving towards her to catch one of the three eggs she carries in her big mouth. The mother flinched to protect herself, expecting an attack, but she couldn't fight back since the eggs on her mouth sealed most of her attacks.

This allowed Ryu to move even closer to her head, reaching an arm's distance, when she opened her mouth to growl for him, warning him to step back. She wasn't expecting that his target was not her but the eggs she was carrying.

Ryu used the opportunity to extend his hands to pick one of the eggs. He went with such determination to grab one that he ended breaking another one in the process, which made the viscous liquid fall on the mother's tongue.

The surprise was so great on the lizards that she lost reaction, giving Ryu time to turn aside and run away, with an egg the size of pineapple in his hand, and without looking back he ran, using all the speed he could.

At first, the only sound behind him was a series of angry shrieks, then began the indistinguishable sound of heavy beasts chasing, when he was the one chasing behind the lizards, that sound didn't bother him, but as he was the one in front being chased, that continuous grave sound put a lot of pressure on him.

At first, the only sound behind him was a series of angry screams, then began the indistinguishable sound of heavy beasts chasing, when he was only one chasing behind the lizards, that sound didn't bother him, but now that he was the one running in front, that continuous sound put a lot of pressure on him.

So he ran, heading to the quarry with a bunch of horned lizards a few steps back after him, he passed by the forest area, using the trees to stall the lizards' advancement, until he finally reached the quarry one hour later.

Since he was confident of taking one egg and fleeing, this was the most crucial part of his plan, jump the cliff's gap was the biggest problem he would face, one single mistake, and he could fall to his death.

On Ryu's mind, he was hoping that Nura reached the village in time to save the people making the risk he was about to face worth.
