Yunan did not take the monopoly oven the initiative in the fight between him and the boss, he took it sometimes and with dropped it other times.This exchange of initiative was usually Yunan regenerating stamina while running away, or him making the boss struggle to see what is even happening. Yunan played a counterattack style where he would get in close with the boss and exchange punches and hits before stepping away and resting a bit, his best moves were mostly grappling and wrestling where he was always too close for comfort for both him and the boss.
It took too much concentration to evade successfully and still deal considerable damage to the boss so he combined his hard-hitting attacks with the tremor skill allowing him to deal much more damage, even going to extreme lengths like sticking to the base of the tail to make the boss pause for a moment giving Yunan a split-second to formulate the next path in his strategy.
Although Yunan won simply by the amount of damage the acc.u.mulated on the boss he still won b.l.o.o.d.y, dirty and with a "worth it" smile on his face, although Yunan did not collapse immediately he was taken into care by the lizardmen and was cleaned and treated inside one of their homes, even a meal was provided, Yunan did not reject and ate heartily. He was feeling that familiar giddiness he experienced with Debauchery whenever he was about to become the new toy or was the most notable subject that moment.
The servants were mostly female, or maidens most likely, although Yunan did not understand a word they said he could understand their emotional state and they were just like those tribal girls who had never seen an outsider and were chosen to care for him, they would smile brightly while a proud look resided in their eyes, however after an old man with a chest walked inside the room, all the giddy girls turned solemn and left with a most respectful att.i.tude.
Yunan opened the chest offered to him and he found a language book, after opening the book Yunan could faintly hear the words outside his room and make sense of them then after a moment he found himself accepting and understanding the words fully like it was the common tongue.
The old man said solemnly "you are the first adventurer to arrive in many years, I welcome you to the scaly tail tribe". Yunan wanted to reply and found the words fluidly left his mouth just like the common tongue. "My pleasure esteemed elder, I hope that by winning the fight I did not ruin your religious festival" Yunan answered humbly, this old lizard did not act hostile and was polite with his words so Yunan had nothing against returning the courtesy, after all, Debauchery only taught him to return hostility with hostility but never let him get away with being rude to those who were curt and well spoken.
"Do you not fear us or would like to kill us?" Asked the old man, Yunan replied with the same tone of voice from earlier " there is no malice from your people, although there was some hostility 6 months ago, it has disappeared by now, if your people have no malice towards me then I will not act maliciously against them, even if you are monsters" you are old man had a smile on his face " then if you can walk let me lead you to your spoils, you have won them in fair combat" the old man stood up and started walking away, Yunan followed behind him wondering if defeating the boss without killing them was a viable option or maybe it was an exception.
He was led under the curious gazes of the lizardmen, women and children to a big building made of mud and seaweeds, like all the other buildings in this place, ít was crude but efficient, inside he found the boss enjoying the care of some shy maiden who seemed to be very happy doing this job. Upon taking notice of Yunan who was already walking on his own the boss laughed and waved at Yunan asking if he could share some of the food he has eaten to heal so fast.
Yunan, on the other hand, asked the girls nursing the boss if he should heal him or add a few injuries, he was met with same response "you don"t have to heal him, just don"t add more injuries" Yunan chuckled to himself as he pa.s.sed a jar of honey to the nurses telling them to feed him some and daub the rest on his wounds, and he would be more energetic than 10 men. Beauty loved the hero, that was a law of the world that could never change.
After that Yunan arrived at what seemed to be an arena and was now an endless library, thousands of golden books lay on the shelves waiting to be opened, the old man started talking after Yunan gathered his wit about him " we are tasked as keepers of this library, every chest the was born in this room had a blank golden book in it, and we the scaly tail tribe have been storing them for the one who was able to defeat our champion however it has been countless years without a challenger, we almost lost our cause a few time but were returned to the right path by the awakened ones, this library is now yours, please claim your reward".
Yunan hesitated for a moment before asking "the chest you gave me was the first ever chest right?" The old man nodded without saying anything, therefore Yunan walked inside the room and use his automated looting to pick up and store all the books then ordered the armor to feed on all of them while he returned to the old lizard"s side "I am grateful esteemed elder, however, do you mind if I ask someone questions over a meal, I would like to invite some of my friends for a feast with your people , there will be no harm done and I will provide the food and drink for the evening and we can speak without so much attention by then".
The old man looked at Yunan solemnly "if your friends are as agreeable as you are and would not harm my people then return with them after 12 days, this tribe has a festival that evening, as for the offer of food and drink we will take you on that offer". Yunan immediately pulled a s.p.a.ce storage ring and filled it with all kinds of meats he had in his inventory, he taught the old lizard how to use the ring and offered to use the opened chests that contained the books and make storage rings from them but was declined by the old man, such things were not necessarily good for a tribe like theirs who does not have much to treasure. After agreeing to meet at a later date, Yunan teleported to his home and shared this adventure with the rest of Debauchery and giving them urgent lizard language lessons before the feast.
