Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

Noticing Seria's peeping, Surtr raised his chin and said disapprovingly, "Why are you looking at me? This is between you and her."

The wind around them began to grow louder. Apart from a group of Rhine Labs agents, all the lizardmen had fled. The bustling market that had been lively just minutes before was now deserted, with only the wind swirling yellow sand into the air.

Although Seria said he didn't need to give an answer now, Gard actually had the answer in his heart from the beginning.

“Seria, I feel like we’ve known each other for too short a time.”

Is it a rejection?

Upon hearing Gard's words, Seria's expression remained unchanged, but her fingertips involuntarily tightened around the hem of her clothes, turning pale.

But the next second, Gard's voice rang in Seria's ears again.

"So, can we be friends first? In a more intimate way?"

All told, Gard and Serea had known each other for no more than two months, and for one month they barely saw each other.

Can you truly understand a person in a month?

Neither Seria nor Gard held a significant enough place in their hearts.

Perhaps this statement should refer specifically to Gard.

Seria is great, has a great figure, a great personality, and is the type of girl Gard likes.

But this liking isn't enough.

Gard believed that liking someone should not be a fleeting infatuation, but rather something that lasts much longer, a mutual support and companionship for countless years to come.

If you put Serena and Gavial and Laurentina side by side...

Who does he like, and who does he like even more?

Gard felt that he was not an emperor, and even if he had a harem, he did not want to be like those emperors, who would not see their women for months or even years at a time, and would only choose to choose a woman when they occasionally thought of her.

Because Gard was greedy, he wanted not only people, but also hearts.

He wants them all!

"it is good."

Seria was not greedy because she knew this was the best possible outcome, and both she and Gard had more options.

But what about the choice?

Oh.

Where can she find another man as tall, handsome, and capable as Gard, who is also fluent in at least five or six different languages?

"Let's go, let's get out of here."

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Serea left without any hesitation.

Because she knew that her momentary willfulness had already wasted a lot of time.

She always said that venting emotions is meaningless and cannot solve problems, and it is foolish to lose judgment because of emotions.

But now, she has become the fool she herself described.

On the market road, Gard watched Serea's figure disappear completely at the end of the road before turning around after a while.

"Surtr, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Hmph, so you finally need me?"

Completely unaffected by the conversation between Gard and Seria, Surtr coldly said, "Consider me your slave!"

So, what exactly is a slave in your eyes?

While thinking this to himself, Gard led Surtr to the sand trucks abandoned by Rhine Labs' agents and placed a bunch of oxygen cylinders on one of the sand trucks.

Gard looked into the distance.

"However, before that, we need to deal with some minor troubles."

......

Chapter 80: Fusion, Prehistoric Giant Crocodile!

As soon as Gard finished speaking, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble.

To escape the scorching heat, a herd of monsters began to flee from the heart of the hot earth, because they could not hide deep in the desert for hours without breathing.

However, this was not the reason they fled to the lizard people's market.

These monstrous beasts seem to be trying to take advantage of the fact that the lizardmen are hiding in their cellars and the market is undefended, so they can wipe them out in one fell swoop.

In particular, after seeing that the calamity beasts had mechanical structures similar to those he had killed in Nightmare's Tomb, Gard confirmed his guess.

An ancient civilization has begun to awaken and is preparing to expand its reach to the outermost regions of the land.

However, the oncoming monsters collided with Gard and Surtr.

"Surtr, are you ready?"

"I'm going!"

Just as Surtr was about to charge forward, Gard grabbed the belt of her skirt.

"Crocodile Man, what are you doing?"

"Cooperate! Cooperate! It'll be safer if we fight as a team in times like this."

"Tch, trouble."

Despite saying that, Surtr still tried to stand up on Gard.

"Am I supporting you with my hand?"

"unnecessary!"

Surtr stood up on Gard's back. It seemed like this wasn't the first time she'd stood on such a high place, so she stood very steadily.

The hot air in the air was drawn into the sword by Levantine and ignited into a raging fire. A phantom figure began to appear behind Surtr, but this figure did not solidify completely. Instead, it floated behind Surtr like a shadow.

At the same time, Surtr's Levantine, enhanced by the flames, became extremely long and narrow. From a distance, it looked as if Gard was covered in flames and had a forty-meter-long greatsword on his head.

Attack range has always been Gard's weakness, but now that the attack range is forty meters, it can hardly be considered short, right?

Then Gard saw a herd of flying monsters flying overhead, and dozens of bright spots lit up at the same time amidst the swirling yellow sand.

Dozens of beams of light, separated by a distance of hundreds of meters, blasted towards Gard's location.

Sizzle————

The concentrated laser beams, like a net, covered Gard.

"Surtr, hold on tight!"

Gard started running, carrying Surtr on his back, and charged straight toward the area covered by the laser network.

The laser penetrated the sand and dust, scorching the ground.

Gard was very curious about just how much power these lasers had to be to do something like this.

Can a flying monster less than two meters in size really power a laser weapon of this power?

Just as he was about to collide with the laser network, the muscles in Gard's arm holding the axe suddenly bulged, like a track and field athlete throwing a discus. Gard took a heavy step forward, his thick waist twisting slightly, hiding the axe under his body.

Boom!

With a piercing whooshing sound, Surtr could only maintain her balance by crouching on Gard's back. She saw Gard throw out the great axe in her hand, which covered a distance of over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, killing three or four flying monsters and disrupting their formation, instantly shattering their previously impenetrable laser network.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gard charged forward.

"Surtr!"

Crouching on Gard's back, the instant the laser network above her head disappeared, she unleashed the maximum power of her flaming greatsword. Unlike Gard, who was exhausted after a single attack, Surtr's Levantine possessed the ability to deliver stable damage.

Even from a distance of over a hundred meters, the attack range of the flaming greatsword extended to its limit. From a distance, it looked as if a beam of light shot out from above Gard's head, drawing a red line in the sky.

next second.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A series of fireballs exploded in the sky, and at least a dozen flying monsters and their laser weapons were shattered by Surtr's attack.

"Well done!"

"Humph!"

Surtr's lips curled up slightly, but she did not lose her composure because of Gard's praise.

"The distance is too far. I need five more minutes to prepare my next attack."

"I'll buy you some time!"

On the ground, Gard's figure collided with the horde of calamities.

boom!

A giant lizard, nearly two meters tall and over ten meters long, charged toward Gard. Half of its face had been modified into a machine, and its bite force was at least several times stronger than before.

But how could Gard give it the chance to bite itself?

Surtr swung his sword from over ten meters away, and Gard, bracing against the giant lizard's charge, smashed its head into the ground with a punch.

At the same time, he summoned his own axe.

Four or five emaciated beasts, resembling hyenas, pounced on Gard. Gard raised his hand and grabbed the mouth of one of the hyenas. When the axe flew over, it cut down another one, which Gard caught and then used to slash at Ling Yi.

Finally, the hyena behind Gard was pierced through by Surtr's Levantine sword.

Several beams of light shot in from afar again. Gard simply threw the hyena's body out of his hand. The body, about the size of a small car, just happened to block the beams for Gard and Surtr.

"Don't touch me with that hand later."

Surtr saw Gard's left hand grab the mouth of a hyena, which was covered in hyena saliva, and she found it disgusting.

"Don't think too much when you're fighting!"

Gard snorted, grabbed Surtr by the belt, and pulled her down.

A long snake's head burst out of the sand, its target being Surtr on Gard's shoulder.

The powerful fighting instincts granted by the Demon Sword allowed Surtr to cleave off the sand serpent's head in mid-air without even needing to regain his balance. The flames on his Demon Sword subsided, and with a single strike, he severed the serpent's head.

In the short half-minute of contact, Gard and Surtr defeated nearly twenty monsters, with Surtr's powerful attack ability complementing Gard's sturdy physique.

With Gard in front of him, Surtr didn't need to spend too much energy protecting himself; he just needed to output damage, output damage, and output damage again!

With Surtr as a human cannon emplacement, Gard instantly transformed from a crocodile into a prehistoric giant crocodile.

"It's ready!"

Crashing into the horde of calamities, a few minutes later, as Surtr finished speaking, another beam of red light pierced the sky, reaping several calamities that stood in its way. At the same time, a flaming sword over a hundred meters long once again cleaved the calamities in the sky.

There were hundreds of monsters that stormed the market, but they were stopped by Gard and Surtur before they could even get inside.

The enormous size of the monsters became an obstacle for them, and unlike humans, they were not able to create various tools for powerful individuals.

Therefore, the only way for them to kill Gard and Surtr is to exhaust their strength.

But, did it exhaust Gard's strength?

......

Chapter 81 The Knight Who Lost His Homeland 7/45

In less than ten minutes, the monsters that charged toward Gard and Surtr fell like stalks of wheat being cut down.

Their numerical advantage was enough to delay Gard and Surtr for a long time.

However, they are delaying Gard, and Gard and Surtr are delaying them in the same way.

The monster is incredibly resilient; it won't feel a scratch or stab at all.

But they couldn't withstand the natural disasters of this fertile land!

The gravel on the ground began to tremble, and a storm was gathering dozens of kilometers away. Even from that distance, Gard could feel the temperature in the air rising rapidly.

Some of the calamity beasts began to grow restless. They were controlled by a lost ancient civilization, but their bodily instincts told them that if they stayed, they would surely die.

However, only a few managed to escape in the end.
