Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 139 Taunting and Sword Skills
"Remember, this time we will not detain you because you are young and this is your first time committing a crime here at Axel. But if you do something like this again next time, we will arrest you."

After two hours of education in the police station, Eris was finally released.

“This is not what I expected.”

The thief lady grumbled, feeling a little aggrieved, as she had originally wanted to have a strange, adventurer-like encounter with her own believers.

But the result was that he was taken to the police station and received a two-hour education on the professional ethics of adventurers.

But when the white-haired goddess came out of the police station and came to the Adventurer's Guild, she found that the person she was looking for was no longer in the guild.

"You mean Miss Darkness? She has joined Miss Otter's team and went to the wilderness to defeat the running lizards this morning."

Axel's group of giant frogs suffered a severe blow from a Saiyan, and now the only troublesome monsters in the wilderness are the big lizards running around.

"The running lizard's leg muscles have a very chewy texture because of years of running. Although some people would call this texture firewood, I really like the skewers made from the fried thigh meat!"

It's called monster subjugation, but in fact it's a free selection of fresh meat. Broly wiped his saliva and prepared to clean up the group of lizards in the distance.

“Running lizards? I remember the last time they trampled me was two months ago.” Darkness said with a nostalgic look, “I’m the Crusader. Leave it to me to attract the monsters’ hatred.”

"Wait, did you say something weird?"

Aqua asked.

"We're about to get going. Hey, you big lizards over there, you're running so slowly. The old lady I helped on the road has better legs and feet than you."

Darkness didn’t answer Aqua’s question, but directly used her taunt skill and shouted at the group of lizards running over there.

Since the name of a creature like running lizard is prefixed with "run", you can tell how important the word "running" is to them.

After hearing Darkness's insulting words, the entire group of more than 30 running lizards changed their target and ran straight towards this side, squawking.

It only takes one energy bullet to deal with this group of big lizards. Even if we consider the possibility of obtaining their meat, it is only a matter of one fist to kill each lizard. But since Darkness wants to show herself, let her do it.

This is also the reason why Broly always takes his master with him every time, even though he can complete the commission by himself. He wants his master to have a sense of participation, thereby increasing his happiness value in the process of completing the task.

"Don't be too pushy. Just tell me if you need help."

Broly said this and stepped aside.

"Really? I should be the one using the skill to lure monsters."

Aqua felt that the few missions she had were taken away by Darkness, and while complaining, she cast various amplification blessings on Darkness.

"Hey, what a strong blessing effect!"

Darkness could clearly feel her physical abilities improving, but she was a little shocked.

"With such a powerful blessing, I should show you my full strength and let you see what I can do!"

As Darkness said this, she took off her breastplate and walked forward with a two-handed sword.

"The Crusader is one of the strongest melee classes. Although it is a defensive class, I heard that some Crusader will sacrifice their defensive abilities in exchange for increased offensive abilities. Is Darkness an offensive Crusader?"

Aqua was talking about the advanced class of Crusader, and she was looking at Darkness in front of her with some anticipation.

"Die, you monsters who run around randomly and sometimes break into the wheat fields and trample them wantonly!"

Darkness shouted righteous lines and swung her two-handed sword forward. She killed the non-existent Lanling King with one sword.

"The running lizard really has some skills. It actually dodged my attack."

Darkness said this while supporting herself with her sword as she was rushed by a group of running lizards.

"No, no, no, it's just that your attack timing is wrong. Who would start swinging a sword from five or six meters away?"

Aqua was carried flying by Broly, and after avoiding the collision with the running lizard, she directly complained about Darkness's sword attack that missed.

"That was just a mistake. I've never experienced such a strong blessing before, so I didn't grasp the timing of the attack well."

Darkness found a reason and began to explain.

"Ah, so your mistake was caused by my overly powerful blessing power?"

Aqua was praised indirectly, and she was magnanimous about Darkness's mistake. "No one is perfect, and this is understandable."

"Don't worry, I will grasp the timing of the attack well this time!"

Darkness raised her two-handed sword again and looked at the group of lizards that turned the corner and rushed towards her.

Three minutes later...

"Ah, this blessing is too strong. I have been hit by these lizards for so long, but I haven't fallen down yet!"

Darkness' body was already covered with footprints, her face flushed, and she seemed to be intoxicated by the physical impact.

"Hey, hey, hey, even if you keep praising my blessing in a roundabout way, I won't be happy. Which magician did you learn this lousy sword skill from?"

After being charged back and forth by the lizards for more than ten times, Darkness was still able to perform the amazing operation of "passing through the lizards without being hit by any lizards". If her two-handed sword had made a mistake once, she would have been able to hit one or two running lizards.

"No, the teacher who taught me sword skills was not a magician, but a famous swordsman."

Darkness was quite respectful to her teacher and immediately refuted Aqua's malicious speculation.

"Then how do you explain why you couldn't hit the monster with your sword?"

Aqua questioned.

"That's because I have a natural bad sense of distance."

Darkness explained.

"So, you, the Crusader, actually have no offensive capabilities?"

Aqua asked.

"Well, I still have the ability to attack. For example, when these lizards hit me, they will also receive corresponding recoil."

Darkness was still being hit by the lizard, but she tried to save her dignity.

"In that case, what's the point of taking off your breastplate and lowering your defense?"

Aqua couldn't help but complain.

"It's because I want to be bumped into and trampled on more thoroughly!"

Darkness found it difficult to say such a truth.

"Forget it, I'll let Broly take care of these running lizards."

Aqua sighed. After several days of contact, she could also see that this guy had masochistic tendencies.

"No, I'm almost done with them, just leave me alone."

Hearing this, Darkness immediately asked for help.

Broly: "..."

He looked at Master Aqua who was in his hand.

Aqua: "..."

Finally, after forty-five minutes, this group of running lizards was finally worn down by Darkness's own high tankiness.

The lizards lying down looked at Darkness with fear in their eyes, as if they were looking at some lizard demon.

After all, the guy who used the provocation skill to control them but did not do any harm to them and just killed them by consuming their physical strength was something these lizards had never seen before.

Killing lizards is not as good as knocking their heads to the ground. What kind of hatred or grudge would make these lizards who love running experience such a cruel death from exhaustion?

【it's over! 】

Seeing that the female knight's sword did not deflect and fell straight towards his head, the running lizard leader showed a humane look of relief in his eyes.
