The Scaled God sensed Larzak slowly walking away from his ruins as he rested in silence, his mind seemed filled with countless thoughts, as it was connected to something similar to a hivemind. All the monstrous miasma creatures it created were connected to it, and they spread around the jungle's borders with the lizardmen they were assigned to fight with.
Some of them had been turned and materialized into armor and weapons, while others had merged with wild monsters and beasts, turning into strange and bizarre chimera creatures…
The Scaled God nodded in silence, it seemed to be ready to do this "experiment" which was more like a "mindless massacre" that it had wanted to do for a while. It simply didn't do it with the lizardmen because the creature required a group of soldiers to bring more massacred, blood, flesh, emotions, and souls.
The beast slowly began to walk inside the ruins, reaching a secret passage that led underground. In this passage underground, there was a large chamber where a giant, red-colored magic circle was resting above the ground, engraved into the paved floor. There were many pillars surrounding it, with strange letters engraved on them as well, all of them connected through smaller magic scriptures.
In the middle of this large chamber, there was a large… monolith, a black monolith made out of black crystal erecting from the ground. It emanated a large quantity of chaotic and dark energies, which spread across the entire chamber and flew inside of the Scaled God's body, fueling it with small amounts of power.
Around the entire circle, there were the bones of many monsters he had hunted, and also of many lizardmen sacrificed to him previously, they were all "devoured" by this monolith, from the flesh to the blood, their souls, everything, now their bones were also being slowly turned into specks of dust that flew into the monolith and were eaten up by it.
The enormous black monolith glowed with bright red scriptures on it, spreading across the magic circle… however, for what the Scaled God wanted to accomplish, this was too little energy, he needed more.
More…
"This is not near as enough… But if I can get enough sacrifices… I could finally open a portal back home, and bring forth the era of chaos again… Ah, how delightful that would be." The Scaled God said, as his eyes shone with a bright red glow, so bright that it seemed to pierce through everything.
His vision quickly changed once more, as the night had finally fallen and there was a good moonlight, there was no better time to begin this pointless fight for more sacrifices… Sacrifices was all he needed anyways.
However… although the Scaled God seemed quite confident on his victory, there was something weird going on around the town he wanted to attack, and also there was something weird in the jungle itself as well, at the border of the jungle, he could clearly sense an enormous presence, of something gigantic sitting right there.
But somehow, nobody could see it… His scouts had discovered there was a large settlement of Lizardmen that were not from his village living around this invisible structure, but nothing else. For now, he had decided to not waste time with these lizardman, although they looked ideal for more sacrifices. Perhaps they would be nice for later…
"Hmph… I don't know what that thing is, but it surely seems to not be threatening, it has done nothing at all… And this other presence I feel… There is well, three presences that are highly strong. Could they be these "adventurers" that I've researched about?" Wondered the monster, as he scanned the town, he still could feel three auras, one that emanated an icy and windy presence, with many other elements mixed in, there was also a golden and white aura, bright and even holy… and then there was a dark and chaotic aura, similar to his own nature.
"Could there be another Chaos Spawn there? It's presences very similar to my own… Maybe it is hiding from enemies by pretending to be a mortal? Well, it will definitely come to me whenever it sees my troops… So I don't really have to worry about it." He thought. "However… Just what are these other two Auras? They're not that frightening, they seem quite lesser, in fact, I believe they will be able to survive and escape, but if they stay, they'll just die anyways. Nonetheless… these auras are indeed quite powerful and interesting. I am expecting to see them soon… Will you defend the town or will you stay away from my path? Let's see what happens first…"
The wicked entity smiled maliciously, as his body continued to shapeshift and change in appearance, his entire body was mutating, slowly moving away from the original appearance… of the original owner of this body.
"To think that I would end with such a good body… Dragons are truly… Intriguingly fitting…"
Meanwhile, within the borders of the jungle, a large quantity of lizardmen wearing black armor and weapons began to quickly march towards Orange Village, which was just in front of the jungle's borders. The night was dark aside from the light of the moon, and they were all easily camouflaging thanks to their black armor and their black scales, in silence, they advanced…
Kraxka's tribe scouts detected the movements of the lizardmen alongside the small blue and green-colored slimes with them, Drake's Slime Clones, who quickly spoke to Drake about the enemy finally beginning to move. He quickly got ready for action, leaving his daughter sleeping in her crib with some dream magic as well, and protecting the entire of the Inn with several invisible barriers, while leaving several slime clones and a few head clones watching over it.
And then, Benladann and most of their party began to move across the streets, ready to confront this danger before they could reach the Village.
…But it seems this army would begin attacking before even reaching their target.
