Levi's Blown Cover
Levi arrived inside the hideout of King Zar, with his skill it didn't take much duration to get here.
However, at the diorama of Levi, King Zar became hysterical. He tossed the decapitated structure of Leon, behind his throne.
"You shouldn't have come here Alone, King Levi?"
King Zar leaped, with one leap, he left Levi unfit to respond, and as he was about to ground, he collided his spiky tail against Levi's pectus. Causing a hit against the wall and a bloodied lip.
Zar provided no chance to stall, or mess up his long-awaited payback, he bolted towards Levi and coated the twenty-meter space within a nanosecond. When Levi roused his cranium, Zar had already grabbed hold of his torso.
"Goodbye King Levi West, you lose again"
Plump!
With the image of Levi's head blown to pieces, Gypsy woke up with a yell at the word dad. The scream caused Cassandra to jolt up too.
When Cassandra looked at her friend, Gypsy was sobbing and quickly embraced Cassandra, and with a muffled voice she spoke.
"My dad! I have to find my dad"
"It was just a nightmare Gypsy, Sir Levi will return, we can't go far, it's midnight"
And besides, the bonfire which they had organized was already burned down. The only basis of light was the moonlight, which was shimmering below the tall trees and plateau.

Meanwhile...
Levi docked at the main entrance of the hideout, the footsteps led him this far. Although he wasn't entirely visible by the two lizards who were guarding the main entrance. He was concealed within the shadows of the trees.
The lizard sentries held their spears close enough, that they could immerse in battle within an eye blink, However, the one on the left witnessed the bush generating some noise.
Both guards goggled at themselves, debating who would check it out. And recalling, the last time such a thing had occurred, the one who had checked is now in Valhalla.
"You go check it out?"
"Pretty smart of you to say, why don't you go check it out", the left lizard disagreed bluntly to the one situated on the right side.
"Then let's resolve this the old-fashioned way, who wins the fight will check it out", said the right one as both lizard guards diverted the spear toward their left lizard hands.
Rock. Paper. Scissors.
Both lizard gatekeepers shook their hands as their life relied on it, honestly, it did.
However, the left one came in with scissors and the right one came in with rock. Theoretically, the left should be the one checking the rattling in the bush, but.
"I've got rock, rock scatters scissors", said the right one, but that statement was Short-lived when the left spoke.
"Nope, scissors can cut paper, and scissors can cut through rock too, so I win, and you go check it out"
But in this case, the right one was a dopey, he rubbed his head as the Left one bamboozled him. Ideally, the right one foolishly proceeded to check it out, since he lost.
The right one cautiously took its step and equipped the spear in case anything intruded. But when it got closer, he saw Levi standing there, like he was waiting for him.
When the Left lizard guard saw how the right one's grip was shaking out of his mind, he was clueless as to what the reason might be. However, when Levi stepped out of the shadows, The left one's lizard jaw dropped, he quickly turned to flee, but his head was banged against the wall, and he collapsed.
Sighs...
"Zar's soldiers were always foolish, not surprised", said Levi, and shifted his gaze towards the terrified one.
"Now you? Take me to your boss"

Meanwhile...
Leon was still alive, thank Jehovah he hadn't been devoured yet. But he was still serving Zar like a slave, well he's kinda like a slave for now.
King Zar relaxed his humongous feet on Leon's head, if he's hungry, all he needs to do is apply a little bit of pressure, then dinner is served.
While he relaxed and still devouring any bit of meat in the skeletal hand of a dead human, humans are proving stubborn nowadays, so he needs to manage the ones he has gotten, the door rudely opened and the view that came in, caused King Zar's bone to fall in the eyesight of Leon's, who freaked out of his sanity.
[Skill Activated: Mind Invader LV 02]
'That's the monstrosity that imprisoned me and my followers here, w..w..what is a demon king doing in a lower plan like this, I'm gonna die twice', thought King Zar.
'Good, he thinks of me as the once feared demon king, but how long can I trick him, he still thinks of me as a monstrosity, good lizard', thought Levi.
"Forgive me, King Levi, I didn't know you'd be visiting, w..w.. what brought lord Levi to a plane such as this one?"
Levi scrutinized his gaze around, there were two lizard guards behind him, plus the one who brought him here making it three behind him, and his eyes fell on top of the pillars, he could see the two mighty lizard generals of Zar, so if he makes a reckless move, he ain't leaving there alive.
"My prey, your men apprehended my prey, and I believe that's him there"
'No kidding, this guy is King Levi, his dark glare and fearless tone, that's how Zar described him, Zar also said if King Levi arrived here by accident, he would exact his revenge, why isn't King Zar doing anything?', thought one of the generals at the top of the pillar.
"Forgive me, Lord Levi, my men must have been careless again, let me punish them for you"
SNAP!
Zar snapped his fingers, and the lizard guards behind him ceased to function, their heads blown to pieces, this act of magic terrified Leon. Afterward, Zar quickly extracted his leg from Levi's prey.
Although Leon hesitated if he should just stay back, rather than meet someone who just called him his prey. Dangerous, but Leon still decided to trust his cohort human.
"Professor Levi.. thank you for coming", Leon thanked Levi, which was great, but the looks in Levi's eyes made Leon realize.
Leon has fucked up, he has just blown Levi's cover. Zar isn't a fool, he could decipher what was amiss here with just that line, "Professor", lord Levi is anything villainous, and ain't a bookworm.
'He's a kid, not his blame he said that', thought Levi.
Baaam! Thump!
The generals hopped from the pillar and compelled a loud cascade of destruction. They were red, likewise King Zar, the one at the right wielded an axe, with the handle long, and the bottom spiked.
The left one caused red sparks with it's hammer, dragging it along the floor. And his spiky tail was also causing the same red sparks.
"A human that looks like King Levi, how interesting, I found it odd to see lord Levi in a lower plane anyway, I'll vent the anger I have for him, on you, next time don't try acting smart, kill him, generals"
'Surprise attack, timing, and prediction', thought lord Levi.
Levi shoved Leon behind him, the kid was goddamn terrified out of his sanities. He can't find the scenario where a weak professor would save them from those things.
Levi, on the other hand, signs, a devious smile formed on his lips, and then he added.
"I wasn't planning on keeping you guys alive anyway"
