BXBX NOVEL Chapter 150 Risky Plan
Alex spent an additional hour planning the routes he would take and the time he would spend in each area, and now he was done making a proper plan and was ready to execute it.
\'I need to reduce the number of these lizardmen and kill the heavy hitters before the big boss shows up, but I also need to prolong the battle for at least thirty minutes and make sure I don\'t create too much ruckus.\' Alex thought, standing above a hill and looking down at a small lizardman settlement.
Alex needed to kill ten peak third Rank creatures who had a trait like being named or having the title in just forty-eight hours, which would be impossible with his current capabilities.
Alex had two methods to go toe to toe and win against a peak third Rank creature, with the first one being he needed help from his elemental summon skill, which had a thirty-hour cool down period if he summoned a third Rank elemental.
So using elemental summon skill two times in forty-eight hours was impossible, let alone doing it ten times.
The second method was a little tricky to achieve but was much safer, and if executed without error, it guaranteed that Alex would win the battle against any peak third Rank creature.
The method required Alex to engage in a battle for thirty minutes to gain the full 30% stats boost from his Battle Emperor title and then engage with the third Rank creature using the Rage Embodiment skill.
The method was very risky because if things didn\'t go as Alex wanted them, it would waste his already limited time, and he would need to run to save his life.
The only solution to this problem was for Alex to learn third Rank spells, improve his strength, and then do the quest, but that would require months, which he didn\'t have the luxury to waste.
\'Let\'s get going.\' Alex thought and jumped from the cliff, and before he landed on the ice, he casted the darkness shield skill under his feet.
\'This is fun.\' Alex thought as he used the darkness shield to skate his way to the ground.
After reaching the ground, Alex sprinted toward the main gate of the settlement, and he could see the lizardman guard already noticing him and advancing toward him.
"ROARRRRR"
Alex summoned his weapon and charged toward the roaring lizardman
and easily blocked his sword strike while easily avoiding the arrow from the archer standing on top of the wood wall frozen in ice.
\'I just need to kill enough to only invite the big boys and not the boss.\' Alex thought as he avoided the next arrow and delivered a quick slash to the lizardman guard.

Alex was engaged with a giant Named Lizardman at the early stage of the third Rank, who was bleeding from his right eye, but he didn\'t seem to care and was swinging his giant claw without stopping.
"Human, You are something else to survive this much time against me." The lizardman said with a wide, ugly smile as he tried to bite Alex\'s face.
\'I think it time to end this battle and slaughter as many Lizardman as possible before the boss shows up.\' Alex thought, knowing the settlement leader should be irritated by all the noise and would come out at any moment.
Alex\'s fight with the second strongest lizardman was going on for the last eleven minutes, and in that time, he only had lost 1200 Hp while the hulking lizardman\'s hp was down to 58%.
Alex hadn\'t gone wild on killing the lizardman, but instead, he had selectively only engaged with the strongest of lizardmen in the settlement and stretched every battle for a few minutes, slowly chipping away their health and killing them.
\'Darkness Slash\'
Alex bent his knee down to lower his position and swung his sword from down to up, deeply slicing the lizardman from his right side of waits to his left shoulder.
[-190K_HP]
"ROARRRR"
The Lizardman was on full offense, not expecting any deadly attack from Alex as all he had seen to this point was defense and a sneaky attack to the vitals.
\'Four Fold Thrust\'
Alex didn\'t miss the opportunity and thrust his sword at the lizardman\'s right eye four-time, and as he did it too quickly, he missed twice and only did half the damage.
[-80K_HP]
[-240K_HP] (Critical Hit)
\'Darkness Slash\'
Alex followed up with a darkness slash to the left injured shoulder, ripping the deep cut open, making the blood spill from the lizardman\'s chest like a waterfall.
Alex stepped back to dodge the frenzied attacks of the Lizardman as he casted the spear of darkness spell and fired all five spears on the face of the lizardman while keeping going back to make the distance.
Alex didn\'t need to do much, as the lizardman\'s health kept going down as he lost more and more blood, making his attack becoming more sluggish and slow.
Alex created an opportunity by firing a darkness spear into the healthy left eye of the lizardman and then used the darkness slash to slice the creature\'s throat chipping away all his remaining health.
\'Let\'s go on a killing spree.\' Alex thought as he drank an advanced quality health potion and followed it up with a Mana and stamina potion.
Alex charged into the forty or so Lizardmen, who had a look of horror on their faces as they saw the dead body of their clan general.
The remaining lizardmen were in the first and second Ranks, and with Alex\'s current stats, he sliced through them like butter, and in the next three minutes, he killed twenty-one of them when the door of the biggest hut was sent flying.
A massive Lizardman exited the hut with his height reaching over ten feet, his body covered in thick muscles and blue and white scales with deep scars all over his body, making him look menacing.
"You have disturbed the sleep of this King, and a quick death will be a very light punishment for you." The lizardman spoke in his deep and hoarse voice after lazily looking at all the dead bodies and blood littering the ground.

\'Now all My physical stats are above the 2000 mark, and after the Rage Embodiment skill boost, they should cross the 3000-point mark, which should be more than enough to dominate him.\' Alex thought, checking the stats window of the lizardman leader.

The remark pissed the Lizardman leader, and that was what Alex wanted as while the creature was distracted by his emotion, he moved forward like a bullet swinging his sword using the darkness slash skill.
"BOOOMM"
The Lizardman was ready to say something in return when he saw the human move toward him at astonishing speed, and he instinctively raised his arms in defense.
The next moment, the lizardman leader felt a heavy impact, and then he was sent flying backward, crashing through walls of woods and ice at incredible speed.
Alex sprinted through the destroyed huts, happy with the damage number floating at the corner of his eyes and his strength.
"ROARRRRR"
[Psychic Shield has blocked the Dominating Roar.]
[3000 Mana Used]
Alex didn\'t slow down and met the lizardman leader\'s claw with his sword and, without any resistance, knocked him back and instantly followed with a fourfold sword thrust to his neck.
"ROAAARRRRR"
\'Darkness Shield\'
The Lizardman Leader sent a half-cocked frost breath with a bleeding neck that Alex easily blocked using the first Rank spell.
"BOOMMM"
"CRACK" "CRACK" "CRACK"
The Lizardman Leader slammed the ground using his ground tremor skill, making the ground shake at high intensity resulting in ice cracking rapidly.
Alex wasn\'t affected by the tremor, as the moment he felt the ground shake, he jumped high into the air and descended straight onto the Lizardman, ready to deliver an overhead slash.
