The Heavens: Cthulhu started from Hokage

80 years after the "Demon War" ended, and 120 years before the main story of Overload began, a smelly wind blew in the Duwu Forest at the southern end of Angelicia.

A battle had just ended in a settlement below the ridge.

It was more of a one-sided massacre than a battle.

The bodies of the white lizard men were lying on the ground in a mess, and the blood flowed into the stream that ran through the village, completely dyeing the water red.

"Why...why do you do this!? We, the 'White Scale Clan', have no enmity or enmity against you. Why do you want to attack our village?"

A lizard warrior holding a blood-stained sword was roaring angrily, accusing the people in front of him of his crimes.

The scales of this lizard warrior are the same white as those of his clansmen who fell on the ground.

Not only the lizard warriors, but also the trembling white scale tribesmen who were hiding behind him. They were all albino lizard men with white scales and red eyes.

Opposing the white-scaled warriors were also a group of lizardmen.

Their scales are either black or dark blue, and they are tall and much stronger than the white-scaled warriors.

They are members of the "Red Fang Tribe" and live beside the lake in the northern part of the Duwu Forest together with the White Scale Tribe.

The pure black scales of the warriors of the Red Fang Clan were stained with blood, and their entire expressions were filled with violence and bloodthirsty.

Facing the white-scaled warrior's accusation, he laughed viciously:

"Why did we attack your village? The reason? Of course - you are too weak!"

The white-scaled warrior gritted his teeth and held the sword in his hand tighter.

"Just because of this boring reason, you want to drive us White Scales away from the village where our ancestors have lived for generations...Aren't we the same race?"

The red-toothed warrior curled his long mouth in disdain.

"Same race? Who is the same race as you, freak."

"asshole!"

The white-scaled warrior's teeth were almost bleeding, and he brandished his heavy sword and rushed towards the red-toothed warrior like a whirlwind.

The red-toothed warrior's expression remained unchanged as he waved his battle ax with both hands.

one round.

It was just a brief encounter.

The sword of the white-scaled warrior was knocked away, and he was knocked to the ground by the powerful force of the red-fanged warrior.

With a clang, the long sword fell to the ground. The white-scaled warrior put his hands on the ground, his face ashen.

The Red Fang tribe in front burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Hey, hey, that's too bad!"

"There's no way, after all, the white-scaled monsters are such a weak race~"

"You White Scale Clan are not worthy of occupying this land of lush water and grass!"

Amidst the laughter of the Red Fang clan, the fallen white-scaled warrior muttered desperately:

"The gap...why is it so big..."

In fact, if you compare the physical differences between the White Scales and the Red Fang clan, it is not difficult to understand the difference in their combat power.

The White Scale Clan are thin and short, with an average height of less than 180 centimeters, while the Red Fang Clan are all around 190 centimeters tall, weigh over [-] kilograms, have bulging muscles all over their bodies, and have a proud and tall figure.

Lizardmen, one of the subhuman races, are a race of warriors.

They worship strength and pursue a strong physique.

The weak are despised by them.

In the eyes of the Red Fang Clan, the White Scale Clan is a weak group and is rightly despised by them.

The Red Fang Tribe is a common lizard-men race that is strong and aggressive. Compared to them, the White Scale Tribe looks a lot weirder.

The scales of their entire clan are white. In terms of scale material, they do not have the crocodile-like horny scales of ordinary lizardmen, but smooth and fragile white scales like snakes.

This is even more fatal to the White Scales. The lizardmen's crocodile-like scales are as hard as human low-level armor.

Due to the lack of hard scale armor and their weak and thin body, the White Scale Clan's single combat power is further stretched by the Red Fang Clan.

An ordinary Red Fang tribesman can defeat three White Scale tribesmen alone.

The only way they, the White Scale Clan, are good at "understanding nature".

Although this trivial advantage is of little use to the lizard people...

The white-scaled warrior used his long sword to support the ground and struggled to get up.

"cough--!"

He spat out a mouthful of sweet blood and faced the red-toothed warrior commander with his sword again.

Even if he knew he was outmatched, he couldn't back down!

Because his people are right behind.

As the strongest warrior of the White Scale clan, he must protect his people!

He turned his head slightly and glanced at the old man dressed as a priest with his red eyes.

"Master Priest, take the remaining clan members out of the village quickly. I will come to the rear here!"

The priest's eyes trembled, and he stretched out his hand and said:

"But Gollum, you will die..."

"Die? It doesn't matter. It's my duty to protect my people." He turned away and shouted:

"Leave quickly! Leave me alone!"

After the words fell, he didn't look at the clansman again.

At this time, he already regarded himself as a dead person.

The warrior captain named Gollum raised his sword high again, and the blazing sun in the sky reflected the shining white light on the sword blade.

Although his body is thin, his fighting spirit is hard to ignore.

The red-toothed warrior leader's eyes narrowed, reflecting the light of interest.

"You know you are not my opponent, but you still have to make a last-ditch struggle?"

Gollum shouted angrily:

"A true warrior will never retreat!"

The Chiya warrior commander chuckled, put the huge battle ax on his shoulders, stepped forward, and stood in front of Chiya.

"Interesting, young man, I have to admit, you've earned my respect, so-"

The red-toothed warrior captain flattened his murderous giant ax and pointed it directly at Gollum's forehead.

"I'll give you the ending a warrior deserves, a glorious death in battle!"

"Humph!"

Gollum let out a loud roar, his figure skyrocketed, and he raised the long sword that was imbued with [lightness] and [sharpness] magic and rushed towards the red-toothed warrior chief.

His momentum is amazing.

But as a veteran warrior who has been on the battlefield for many years, the Red Tooth Warrior Commander still shook his head.

"It's still too slow."

His arm is bent in an arc, and as long as Gollum rushes into his slashing range, he will kill Gollum with one axe.

The red-toothed warrior captain gathered and stared at Gollum intently.

Unexpectedly, a sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded.

The black irregular object shot from the grass at extremely fast speed and hit the red-toothed warrior in the eye socket.

The Red Tooth Warrior Commander let out a soft cry and took a step back.

He felt pain in his eyes and wasn't sure what hit him.

A young voice sounded.

"Uncle Gollum, all the clan members have withdrawn. Run now!"

I saw a small white-scaled lizard man jumping up from the grass and shouting to Gollum.

Gollum reacted instantly, turned around quickly, picked up his sword, and ran deep into the jungle.

"Despicable brat!!!"

The Red Tooth Warrior Commander looked down and saw stones falling on the ground. He then saw the slingshot in the little lizard man's hand. He immediately became furious and waved his hands to order the tribesmen to catch up.
