Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

Surtr discovers that the lizard girl is a guard in the caravan. Although the guards in the caravan are quite strong, they are still far inferior to her.

If she were to encounter danger, she would step in to save him, which would be a way of repaying the lizard girl for saving her life.

On the seventh day after waking up, Surtr saw that when the lizard girl went out on patrol, she brought back a very handsome crocodile man.

Although Surtr felt a little disappointed that the tail was missing a piece, wouldn't the crocodile-man's appearance be perfect if it weren't for the tail?

Of course, Surtr wasn't a looks-obsessed person, and besides, the lizard girl who saved her and the crocodile man clearly had a good relationship.

So Surtr just watched them for a moment before turning back.

A little while later, she saw the lizard girl running away crying.

Could this development mean that the crocodile man has been seducing and abandoning Laya?

Surtr was furious. She could tell at a glance that the crocodile man was no good, using his good looks to prey on innocent young girls.

She, Surtr, will rid the people of this scourge today!

After comforting Laya for a while, regardless of whether Laya understood or not, Surtr dragged his greatsword toward the crocodile man.

Surtr stood in front of the crocodile man, mimicking the stance of the lizardmen before a duel. He casually picked up a rock, tapped it with his sword, and looked at the crocodile man.

"Crocodile Man, I challenge you!"

Gard: "???"

……

Chapter 73 Crocodile Man: That's it?

"Crocodile Man, I challenge you!"

Surtur's voice rang out just as the enormous creature carrying the caravan's cargo stood up.

The group of lizardmen couldn't understand Surtr's words, but they could understand his actions!

In an instant, all the lizardmen looked at Surtr and Gard with strange expressions.

A few years ago, when he was searching for medicine for his mother in the remote countryside, he spent two or three weeks in the Lizard People's tribe, so he had a fairly good understanding of some of their customs.

Therefore, Gard could not understand Surtr's ideas.

"Miss Surtr, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious!"

Surtr looked at Gard with great confidence.

"I challenge you!"

"No, do you know what the consequences will be if you lose?"

"Of course..."

Surtr was about to say that he knew, when he realized what was going on.

"Wait, crocodile man, you can speak my language?"

"This is the language of the Sarkaz people. If you ever go to Kazdel, you will see many people speaking this language."

"Oh, you mean I'm a Sakaz?"

"If the horns on your head weren't just decorations..."

Surtr crossed her arms and admitted that she was now interested in the man in front of her, not only because he was handsome, but also because he knew something about her.

It's a shame he's such a jerk!

"Enough with the chit-chat. Ask about the details later. If you're ready, let's begin."

Surtr swung her greatsword, which was taller than her.

"I won't slap you in the face, because of the knowledge in your head!"

"The problem isn't there..."

Gard noticed that the lizardmen around him all had expressions of amusement, and even the monster pulling the cart turned its head to look at them.

Only the lizard girl Laya noticed the changes and became somewhat angry, but her anger wasn't directed at Gard, but at Surtr.

Gard wanted to explain further, but when he saw Surtr give Laya a cool profile, he swung his magic sword.

"Laiwanting!"

Boom!

A dozen meters away, a pillar of fire shot out from the greatsword in Surtr's hand and swept past Gard's side.

"Next time, I won't hold back!"

Holding the Demon Sword Levantine in his hand, Surtr arrogantly raised his chin, causing Gard to sigh helplessly.

"Since you're serious..."

Gard lowered his head and bent over, but when he raised his head again, his eyes had become serious.

However, before he could move, the lizardmen around him ran away.

"Quick, let's get away! Gard needs to get serious!"

"Although that strange woman was a bit ugly, I have to admire her courage."

"Well, what can you do when Uncle Gard is so handsome?"

"..."

A group of lizardmen were discussing among themselves. In fact, upon closer inspection, at least four or five of the caravan's guards were people that Gard had known from his time with the lizardmen tribe.

Therefore, they were all well aware of Gard's strength.

"Laya, don't get too close. The woman you picked up and her weapon are a bit strange. Let's be careful."

The lizardman brother, Mukaka, pulled his sister, Layara, away and gave her some instructions.

"But why would she do that?"

Laya looked at Surtr, who was confronting Gard, with great confusion.

"I definitely saved her!"

“My silly sister, not everyone is as kind as Uncle Gard. Sometimes, in order to survive, we will do things that go against our conscience.”

"Is Surtr challenging Gard for survival?"

"Of course."

Mukaka looked at his wife standing beside him and said earnestly, "The meaning of our existence is to reproduce. What could be more important than procreation?"

Hearing her brother's words, Laya finally came to her senses.

'So, what you said to me before was all about trying to steal my brother Gard from me?'

Recalling the serious expression on Surtr's face when he came to find her, Laya suddenly wasn't so angry anymore.

Unlike herself, Surtr's figure is so poor, she'll probably have a hard time finding a lizardman willing to marry her.

That's why Surtr took such a proactive step...

At first, Raia was angry at Surtr's actions, but now, she couldn't help but wave at Surtr.

"Go Surtr!"

Noticing Laya's actions in the distance, Surtr couldn't help but straighten his back. Even Laya supports me in teaching this scumbag a lesson, which must be because this scumbag did something very unfair to Laya.

Surtr had initially intended to go easy on him, but now he was determined to go all out!

The moment Surtr had this thought, Gard, who was opposite her, acted on it.

Gard didn't underestimate Surtr just because she was shorter than him, barely reaching his chest and a centimeter shorter than Laurentina.

Surtr may not be strong, but the magic sword in her hand is powerful!

The blazing greatsword seemed to absorb the surrounding temperature. Despite the sweltering heat, the surrounding temperature kept dropping, as all the heat was being absorbed by the demonic sword in Surtr's hand.

Therefore, when Gard did not act, he did so in a way that was astonishing.

He stomped a deep hole in the sand, and the immense force was converted into propulsion, propelling Gard forward with a "bang".

Compared to most Terrans, his speed might not be considered exceptional.

However, he was not far from Surtr, only a dozen meters away.

For Gard, this distance of a dozen meters only required one ejection.

In an instant, Gard's enormous body appeared before Surtur.

Surtr was caught completely off guard by Gard's sudden charge.

But it didn't matter that she didn't react in time. As Gard approached, the magic sword Levantine in her hand seemed to have a consciousness and slashed at Gard.

"Boom!"

Flames soared into the sky.

A pillar of fire shot into the sky less than fifty centimeters from Gald.

The magic sword struck very quickly, but the great axe in Gard's hand was equally fast.

As Levantine swung his sword at Gard from Surtr's hand, Gard simultaneously swung his axe downwards.

With a deafening roar, the pressure from the axe blasted down, shattering the flames that had just begun to rise from the Levantine with brute force from Gard.

The flames surged outwards, bypassing Surtr, but showed no mercy when they rushed towards Gard.

But Gard didn't care at all.

Boom!

It was as if a giant hammer had fallen to the ground. The axe in Gard's hand slammed down, smashing Surtr's Levantine into the sand along with it.

With his other hand, Gard held Surtr and pinned her down.

The crocodile-man's ferocious face rapidly drew closer to Surtr's pupils.

Gard looked at Surtr and grinned.

That's it?

......

Chapter 74 Surtr, Joins the Party! 5/45

In fact, from the moment he drew his sword, Surtr did not believe he would lose.

She felt confident she could win, but the question was how to win – whether to win cleanly and decisively, or to leave the other party a little room for maneuver.

Because there are still things she needs to ask the crocodile man later. What if he loses too badly and refuses to tell her about the Sarkaz?

Surtr never imagined he would lose.

Flames began to ignite in her pupils, and the demonic sword Levantine in her hand began to vibrate, as if an inexplicably powerful force was about to awaken before Gard.

However, Gard simply looked at Surtr, at the reflection in Surtr's pupils.

"I don't care if you're a giant beast or something else."

Gard held Surtr down, a golden light gleaming in his eyes.

"You're not the only one who hasn't revealed their trump cards yet!"

Gard knew that there were some extremely powerful creatures on this land, and for a long time in the past, these creatures were even revered as gods.

However, as time passed, the veil of mystery surrounding the gods was torn off, and the Terrans discovered that these so-called gods were actually just powerful beings with certain special abilities.

Powerful, but not invincible!

In some countries, there are even disciplines dedicated to studying these deities.

Behemoth Studies!

It is highly likely that the Levantine in Surtr's possession contains the soul or remains of a god or a giant beast.

But as mentioned before.

These gods and behemoths may be powerful, but they are not invincible.

If it were a fully-formed behemoth or a god, Gard might find it somewhat troublesome, but as for a mere sword, Gard wouldn't be afraid.
