Reincarnated Hero System

167 Plans for the Lizard Lord

Seeing that message, Evan sorted through his memories before finally remembering the reward quest that Artemisia gave him when upon unsealing Pride.

'The Lair of the Lizard Lord, huh?'

The 'Lizard Lord's Outbreak' was one of the 'Eight disasters' of Aidos that Evan had decided to prevent, being the third on his list as he planned to go to where the dungeon was after he was done with all his matters in the Western part of the Alpha continent.

'Since I'm going to the eastern empire to meet Bourne, I would take a detour and pass through 'his' territory on the way.

The Lair of the Lizard lord was a dungeon located in the territory of one of 'The Five', the Beast Kingdom under the rule of 'Beast King' Kolvar.

'Maybe I should try meeting the beast king, if I can form friendly relations with him, then preventing the greatest disaster of the Alpha continent, the 'Fall of the Desert Country', would be a lot easier.'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' agrees with your thoughts.]

'You think so too, huh? Any of the five will do but three of them are off continent, Rathal is too much of a variable so Kolvar is the best bet.

But before that, I have to get his attention with something other than my mystic eyes, I can't exactly barge into his palace as I please without having one of the beast generals offing my head.

This is where the Lizard Lord's Outbreak comes to play.

Although I would like to take out the lizard lord before it comes out of the dungeon, I have to let the dungeon break so it would attract more attention.'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says she 'Delay 'triggered' the dungeon break, making it such that it would only break when entity – 'Evan Von Bourne', enters the nearby dungeon city.]

'What?! This makes it seems like it's my fault that the dungeon's gonna overflow.'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says that is indeed the case.]

'...'

[...]

The two were silent for a moment, before unanimously deciding to ignore their respective faults in this situation and address other matters.

'Like the Hidden boss!'

In the game, the Lizard Lord Outbreak was one of the disasters with the highest casualties.

Not only because it was a Level 700 Lizard lord and its level 500-600 minions with an army of level 300s wreaking havoc everywhere, but because of the hidden boss.

There was only a 25% chance of this hidden boss appearing and the unlucky Evan always ended up facing it every time he reset his account.

'The first time was the worst, the hidden boss literally surprise attacked out of nowhere!

It's not gonna do that in reality, right?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' states you should not get too optimistic.]

'Fuck.'

Seeing her reply, Evan was sure that the hidden boss was definitely gonna start with a surprise attack.

'But since I know the attack is coming, I would be able to prepare to an extent. I just don't know where it's coming from as it had over a dozen different surprise attacks in the game!'

Even still, it was still possible to make some preparations, and knowing the race of the hidden boss, there was a 100% chance of attracting Kolvar's attention.

'It's just that it might decrease my favourability with Altrishia. But the favourability stat doesn't exist so I should not worry too much, I guess?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' once again states you should not get too optimistic.]

'Fuck!'

Evan exclaimed inwardly once more as he was now sure that taking out the hidden boss would definitely make him lose points with Altrishia.

And that the next time the system updates, it would definitely have a favourability stat!

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says you should wait till level 150 to find out.]

'Level 150? That's not far off considering the boosts of this dungeon. Things would get slightly harder afterwards though.'

The young hero nodded to himself as he turned to Pride and began to discuss some of their plans for after Kasteblum with her.

Namely, his plans to go to the Cheverton Duchy of the Great Western Empire and mess up the Dullahan attack.

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says that the nuisances would most definitely speed things up due to certain circumstances.]

'What circumstances?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says you are not qualified to know as your existence level is too low compared to the being involved.]

"Ah, shit! Here we go again."

"What?"

"No, never mind.

What you should mind, is the fact that your unique skills would be useful in this scenario. Both yours and Eliza's."

Pride rose an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing Evan's words. She knew that he was indeed already aware of her unique skill and its abilities, but seeing that he did not know of the limitations, she realised that he perhaps did not know everything about her skill.

This was the case as Evan's knowledge of the unique skill 'Incarnation of Pride', was based on the Level 777 Pride who he fought in the game.

"You haven't appraised my skill recently, have you?"

"Hmm? Why should I? I already know the skill description."

"But you don't seem to be aware that I can only use the 'Level 1' of my unique skill."

Hearing her words, Evan's eyes flashed as he appraised Pride's skill and saw a description different from the one he was aware of.

'In the game, it said 'All Levels can be used', but now it says 'User can only use level 1 at the master level'.

So, she wasn't kidding when she said that an existence below the master level was not worthy of being the incarnation of Pride.'

"If your level 1 is what I think it is, then I'd be enough. Adding greed's own to the mix, the results would be even better as your skills would resonate."

When fighting together with another user of a unique skill of the same series, the power of the two skills was elevated depending on how many members of the series were present.

"The problem is our levels. No matter how fast we are, it would be difficult for us to be above level 200 before then.

Although killing some undead and flesh golems on the way would boost our levels, getting to above level 200 before the time when the Dullahans start attacking in earnest is going to be difficult.

And the 'Eighth finger' is going to be present too...

I'm going to have to be forced to use Limit Break."
