Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 210 Great Victory

With such overwhelming superiority, the enemy forces suffered a crushing defeat. The other units accompanying the lizardmen had long since fled in the face of this devastating tide. The treants were also nearly wiped out by the relentless onslaught of the minotaurs and the abyssal multi-headed lizards. Seeing that the lizardmen were about to be slaughtered, the white giant lizard 'Rog' stepped forward and shouted, "Tiga! We have lost, but I beg you to resolve our issues through the Ancient Sacred Ritual. If I win, you will release my men from here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiga, riding his Tyrannosaurus Rex, shouted, "Fine, I accept your challenge. Stop it, all of you! Including those little brats under Rogue, if you don't want to die!" The dinosaur bloodline suppression immediately calmed down all the lizardmen present, pulling them out of their killing instinct mode. Everyone seemed to know what was going on and wisely stepped aside, leaving an open space for Tiga and Rogue to face each other from afar.

Seeing this, the armies of other races followed suit and imitated the lizardmen's actions. However, as Yorick retreated, he asked the lizardman beside him, somewhat puzzled, "What is an 'Ancient Sacred Ritual'?"

Upon seeing that it was Yorick who asked the question, the lizardman quickly explained, "The Ancient Sacred Ritual is an ancient ritual of the lizardmen. Legend has it that our lizardman race was created by an Ancient Sacred One from beyond the heavens. To prevent inter-racial war, the Ancient Sacred One set up this ritual. When the race fights each other, the leader of the losing lizardman challenges the leader of the winning lizardman. The two fight one-on-one. If the leader of the losing side wins the ritual, then the winning side cannot exterminate them and must let all the remaining members of their race leave. However, if the leader of the winning side wins the ritual, then the leader of the losing side will be killed, and all the lizardmen on that side must pledge allegiance to and surrender to the leader of the winning side."

"Ah~ I see." Yorick looked at Tiga and thought that if he won, the Lizardmen's power would expand to a situation of one-man dominance. However, Yorick had no other thoughts about this except jealousy. After all, with Agreed's existence, even if Tiga's army had a million soldiers, they would still have to obey. What Yorick was more concerned about now was Tiga's personal strength.

As the lizardmen around them shouted rhythmically, Tiga and Rogue began to circle and confront each other in rhythm with the sounds. At this time, both of them took out their weapons. Tiga had a long spear, while Rogue held a shield and a long-handled warhammer. The top of the warhammer was a spiked ball, and the relatively soft handle gave the hammer a very powerful armor-piercing ability.

Tiga, being a dinosaur-man, is actually very burly in physique, but he always hunches his back during battles, making him appear to be only about three meters tall when he is actually four meters tall. Meanwhile, the white giant lizard 'Rogue' is comparable in size to an ordinary minotaur warrior.

To be honest, Tiga was at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and size, but it was clear that Tiga was not afraid of him. He even mocked him, saying, "Have you forgotten how you got the scar on your face? You still dare to challenge me?"

Without a word, Rogue raised his shield and charged at Tiga. Tiga then raised his spear and, taking advantage of his attack range, thrust it at Rogue's right shoulder. Rogue, who was prepared, quickly raised his shield to block, using the heavy shield to deflect Tiga's spear to the side. At this moment, Rogue reached his advantageous distance, and then he raised his warhammer and smashed it down hard on Tiga.

Unexpectedly, Tiga slightly sidestepped the attack and stepped on the handle of the warhammer. Then, Tiga delivered an uppercut that sent Rogue staggering back several steps. Immediately afterward, Tiga swung his spear again, launching a series of dense thrusts at Rogue. Rogue panicked and tried to block with his shield, but in his focus on blocking, he forgot that the shield was too weak for lower body defense. Suddenly, Tiga's spear tip turned and stabbed at Rogue's thigh. With his vision obscured and being attacked relentlessly, this thrust was truly unexpected for Rogue. With a cry of pain, Rogue's thigh was pierced through, and as his mobility was impaired, blood began to gush out uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the lizardmen have a special constitution, so the bleeding was not too severe, and Rogue was still able to continue fighting for another 15 minutes despite the bleeding.

At this moment, Tiga was no longer in a hurry. He drew his spear and kicked the warhammer at his feet to Rogue, while mocking, "After all these years, you still haven't improved at all. You've already lost. I don't even need to continue fighting; I can just defend and wear you down to death. Surrender. If you kneel down and pledge allegiance to my lord, I might spare your life."

Rogge shook his head and said, "I will not allow you to trample on my warrior's pride. If you don't kill me today, then I will kill you!" With that, Rogge swung his warhammer at Tiga again.

Seeing that Rogue was ungrateful, Tiga stopped holding back. With a flick of his spear, he knocked Rogue's warhammer away, and then thrust his spear into Rogue's chest. Rogue tried to block with his shield, but with his leg injured, he was powerless. The force of the blow caused the shield to slip from his hand. Tiga then changed his thrust into a sweep, knocking Rogue to the ground.

After that, Tiga pressed the tip of his spear against Rogue's back and asked again, "I'll ask you one last time, will you surrender or not?"

Rogge struggled to his feet, but ultimately collapsed to the ground, his last breath screaming, "I swear I will never surrender! I will never yield to you, even in death!"

Tiga sighed helplessly. Rogue did have some potential. He had given him chances time and time again out of a desire to cherish talent. But since you're like this, there's nothing I can do. If you're not useful to me, then you're doomed!

Then Tiga's eyes gradually hardened, and with a thud, he pierced Rogue's heart with his gun. The once invincible white giant lizard finally brought his legendary life to an end here.

Upon seeing this, the lizardmen knelt down to express their respect to their new leader. Tiga shouted, "Remember this: you are now loyal to my master, the Destruction Dragon 'Agreed'! Anyone who shows disloyalty will be killed without mercy!!"

Thus, the battle officially came to an end, with Agred's side achieving an absolute victory, with a casualty ratio of 65 to 1.

Then Tiga began to direct the army to clean up the battlefield, sorting out and perfecting the weapons and equipment. The good ones were kept and confiscated, while the bad ones were recycled or simply discarded. The corpses were not wasted either; they were all collected and used as food and feed. However, the lizardmen would not devour their own kind unless necessary, so most of the corpses were used as food and feed for other monsters.

After settling everything in, Tiga brought Rogue's head to the front of Agreed's palace. After informing Ellie of his purpose, Ellie turned and went into the palace to awaken Agreed. Agreed then summoned Tiga and asked him to report on the results of the battle.
