Mila then, carrying Molly, quickly says to her scaled gorilla of dragon blood: "My little one, this is your first order!"
Pointing to the area where Emma is, she says: "Crush the lizard men and save the woman in the armor who has the same aura as me!"
The gorilla, who clearly has a high level of intelligence especially because of her type of beast, being a type of primate one of the most intelligent types of energetic beasts, together with the enhancement of dragon blood, responds by nodding her head, first sniffing her mistress and then leaving at high speed, knocking down trees if necessary.
Mila does not ride on her back because there is no saddle and because she really does not want to slow her charge, so she simply caresses Molly and runs in that direction, realizing that even without having begun to cultivate, the effects of the blessing of power of the dragon aspect were already noticeable, she felt her legs much more powerful, she felt lighter, stronger, with more resistance and stamina.
…
Emma was in a very bad situation, that last attack from the lizard leader had sent her flying and made her crash against a tree, she felt her organs shake a bit and her abdomen hurt a lot, she had to get up and endure a bit more.
She cannot give up just like that, she only has 25% of her internal energy left and she gets up with difficulty, while she hears the lizard leader speak who with cruelty and mockery says: "Do not worry I will send you on your path to reincarnation together with your dear friend, that way the two of you can reunite."
Emma smiles bitterly and says: "You are too arrogant, you know?, that will cost you your life, sooner or later."
The lizard leader replies annoyed: "Even if that is so, you will not be the one to see my death."
Then pointing at her with the spear she orders her subordinates: "Kill her and bring me her head."
The three lizard women, especially Tashaze, approach with bloodlust, meanwhile Emma thinks about her chances, what she can do or what she should do at these moments to retreat…
When the first of the lizard women lunges to attack with her spear, Emma dodges with difficulty, allowing the spear to embed itself in a nearby tree, Tashaze and the other one lunge and Emma blocks with her shield, repelling the attack in a light movement.
Then she is struck from behind by the third lizard woman, then furious and tired she grabs her by the arm and makes her spear sink deeply into the ground while kicking her, although that leaves her exposed.
And precisely that happens, Tashaze fiercely strikes her on the right side of her ribs, the second attack she manages to deflect with the shield, but she is running out of time when she finally thinks about using a talisman to finish them all…
The third lizard woman finally manages to pull out her spear, but soon a high power energy shot flies in this direction, the lizard leader notices and shouts: "Careful dodge!"
But that reaction was too slow, the shot pierces the arm of the third lizard woman destroying it and separating it from her body, drops of blood fall to the ground while the inert arm with exposed and hanging flesh holds for a while until it finally loses strength.
When the lizard women look in that direction they see a woman with fine and delicate features with a mixed emerald and golden crossbow aiming, Haru begins to load her crossbow again, but they do not have time to be distracted.
Because in the next instant a ball of energy, no, what seemed to be a ball of energy arrives with fierce brute force only to be blocked with great difficulty by Tashaze, revealing a blonde woman with a very fierce and angry face saying: "The cavalry has arrived to give you a hand, Emma."
The other lizard woman tries to help Tashaze, but her battle instinct tells her that she must urgently turn around, immediately she puts her spear in front of her and two fierce slashes arrive crashing and pushing her back, Clara appears with a cold and apathetic gaze, then says: "Do you think you can intimidate our leader without fearing the consequences?"
The lizard leader is not an idiot, understanding from the display of power that these newcomers are not so weak, she quickly takes her spear and charges, Emma although tired and injured, quickly reacts and once again invokes her battle prayer: "My venerable lord, your faithful servant asks you for strength to continue fighting this endless war against those who threaten your will!"
Emerald and golden light envelops Emma and although she still feels discomfort, she feels part of her stamina and resistance return, then using her spear she blocks the leader's attack, although it pushes her back several steps.
Emma then lifting the visor that looks like the skull of a dragon for the first time reveals her beautiful red haired face with blood at the corners of her lips and says to the leader: "You did not think you were the only one with support did you?"
The lizard leader, losing her numerical superiority, says: "Alright, you have a point, but the difference in strength is what dictates everything."
Raising her spear she begins to recite something more sinister: "Oh great serpent that dwells in the darkness!, your descendant calls you, begs you and requests your help!, give me the power to sink my enemies into the dark depths of your blessing!"
On the scales of the lizard leader the natural inscriptions fill with a sinister purple light very similar to those of the shadow serpent and activating her racial ability, shadow impulse, her speed quickly jumps to levels never seen before.
Everyone feels a great threat, Emma's face changes to horror and she says a bit frightened, finally understanding what that strange chant from before was: "Y-you are worshiping a being that is about to ascend to divinity!, that is why I could not feel the power of faith in you!"
The lizard leader smiles: "So you finally realized?"
Then with an energy slash attack the leader adds: "I thought you would never notice, but even so it is already too late for you."
Emma uses her dragon lightning shield injecting her energy and shouting: "Protection of the lightning of extermination of the wicked!"
The energy slash, a purple black and shadowy energy that gave an extreme sensation of endless darkness crashes against the shield and sounds similar to when ice touches an extremely hot surface are heard.
This confirmed Emma's other suspicion, whatever the source of that semi divine power is, it is nothing good, it must be something very deep in the infernal, demonic or evil path.
This is a big problem, the temple of the emerald-golden dragon god is a temple aligned on the neutral path, they do not have very specialized techniques to deal with the other two paths, although on the other hand they are not weak to those paths.
The lizard leader smiles and says: "Do you think that little ray can stop the power of my lady?"
Retreating while leaving residual silhouettes of darkness she then begins to gather energy again and says: "I want to see if you can withstand this… lurking in the depths of darkness I am, waiting for the right moment to reveal my fangs and devour you all!, arts of the shadow serpent devourer of minds and spirits!, fangs of sinister darkness!"
The lizard leader takes momentum and moves from side to side, the residual images which are a kind of shadows begin to accumulate, forming the pattern of a zig zag serpent while on the spear the image of the head of a huge serpent appears, the serpent completely made of darkness with purple touches opens its fangs wide.
The two lizard women, Tashaze and the other one retreat, being followed by Lily and Clara who do not want to give them moments of rest, exchanges of movements occur between them.
For her part Emma knows that she cannot clash head on with whatever that is, so injecting energy into her spear she uses an emerald impact and strikes the ground with bestial force, that single impact is so strong that it makes her rebound upward.
The lizard leader smiles and says: "You fell into my trap stupid brat!" and then modifies the attack, jumping into the air herself chasing Emma.
Lily and Clara shout: "Emma no!"
But then something impressive happens, a huge figure of about 3.5 meters appears at not slow speed emanating a green and violet energy and with a force no weaker than the lizard leader… no, even greater than her strikes that serpent of darkness, sending the lizard leader crashing into the ground with a merciless blow.
Then the figure appears, a gorilla covered in scales, she lands on the ground in an incredibly graceful manner for her size, but the gorilla does not stay still, immediately she continues pursuing the enemy.
The lizard leader who felt an impact as strong as if a rock of several dozens of tons had struck her, was breathing with difficulty, it is obvious that just from the impact several of her ribs broke.
Furious she shouts: "I will kill you damn filthy beast!" and using the same attack she charges at the gorilla, the gorilla responds to this attack charging her breath and when the attack is about to hit her, her breath impacts directly against the spear of the lizard leader.
Both attacks explode in a bright purple and green with violet light, but the metallic fragments of the spear fly out like dangerous shrapnel, piercing the lizard woman who was lying on the ground in pain and killing her on the spot.
The lizard leader quickly pulls back, showing that her hands are still trembling from the clash and looks with unprecedented ferocity at this invading beast, but with a certain fear, the battle has only begun and the overwhelming difference in strength has already been shown…
