I went berserk (but remained human) and grabbed a knife... I quickly caught up to the elf, but at the same time, I moved silently... I assessed the knife; it's dull, but I can inflict a serious, ragged wound with it... And if I hit hard enough, I can even pierce the scales... We were getting closer... The male was peacefully eating... I, and the elf too, slowly began to circle around the harem and its owner... So, we're on the other side... now the male is the closest lizard to us... I used my imagination and picked up a pebble and threw it towards the lizards, but in such a way as not to hit any of them... A noise was heard... The females didn't like that someone was disturbing them... And the male didn't care; he was probably just lazy... He probably just wanted to eat, rest, and then get down to business... I threw another one... The females perked up... The elf decided to repeat my tactic... But he threw it so that it hit a pillar, and the stone bounced off and hit a lizard... Several lizards (three or four) rushed towards the stones... Then, after throwing a few more stones, one or two more lizards left... Here's our target, without bodyguards... He turns his back to the pillar...I quickly took a couple of steps along the pillar, almost stumbled, and jumped onto the lizard's back, plunging the knife into its neck (So, I jump onto its back, grabbing its neck with one hand, and with the other, I strike downwards into the neck)... Strength and speed helped me pierce the scales with the knife... The lizard can't even squeak... It just swayed a little and collapsed... I jumped back, otherwise the lizard would have crushed me... I approach the mouth... I knock out a tooth... but the elf is also not sleeping and strikes me from behind... I fall... He snatches the tooth from me and runs away... I crawl to the lizard's body... The females, seeing their beloved dead, rushed at the killer (they mistook the fleeing elf for him)... They caught up with him and began to tear him apart... I knock out another tooth and climb onto the pillar... the elf is dead... It seems that now I should be released from the arena...
- Good job - says a Fury, appearing from somewhere. - The High Priestess is pleased. You have proven that you are a good warrior. And you have earned the right to move freely around the city.
- You can buy some weapons or something else. But I personally advise you not to try to escape... You can try, but I just don't advise it ;)
The city will show you around. One of the Furies stepped forward. When you are ready for the final test, come to the High Priestess's Palace. Lysia will show you where it is. She will also show you where you can stay until you are ready.
- See you, warrior.
