Lizardman
( A/N: I added a new breathing style to him in the auxiliary volume and If you like, you can give me some inspiration for the forms' names )

[ February 1, Year 773 ]
Southern Territory
I've been stalking this Mutated Lizardman for a month now in order to know its habits and behavior in order to formulate a plan.
I had chosen this creature as my target due to its nature as compared to the other overlords, this one is more of a loner thus making it easier for me to slay it without any interference.
From my observation, he doesn't seem to like having other Lizardmen around him because of his pride in thinking he's better than anyone.
I personally like that since, without the other Lizardmen around, I can fight this creature without any worries.
Although there is only a limited amount of time for me to slay it before the other Lizardmen rush towards us, it doesn't really matter to me at all since it won't take that much time for me to kill it.
"Let's see... from what I've observed so far, he should be out right now and is about to go for a walk in about a few seconds or so"
Kazemi whispered and as if right on cue, the Mutated Lizardman walked out of his hut with a greatsword on its back as he started to wander around his territory.
He started to silently follow the Mutated Lizardman and waited for the right moment when it is alone for him to strike a sneak attack.
...
In the middle of a forest...
"Hmm... I need to remember to avoid its poison breath... Hmm... I also have to avoid his scales and strike at the area where there are no scales to guard"
Kazemi muttered as he tried to remember all kinds of information about this Mutated Lizardman.
He knew that Lizardmen are famed for their durable scales and not only is this Lizardman the king of them, but It is also a mutated one who has gained the ability to spit out poison.
Still, compared to the other Overlords, this one is much more safer as he remembers the time when he tried to observe the other ones and was shocked by their abilities.
Just the Albino Vulcan alone was terrifying enough due to its ability to 'Take Over' a being which I have no idea how to counter and both the Weretiger Queen and Werelion King have immense speed and mysterious abilities that I didn't even know.
He wondered how this Mutated Lizardman even managed to become an Overlord due to its lack of abilities but he put the thought back in his head since he will eventually know why it became an Overlord once he fights it.
As he mulling over his plans and making sure he has everything he needs, the Mutated Lizardman suddenly stopped walking as he turned his head at Kazemi's hiding place.
"Co..me... O..Out.. Human.."
The Lizardman stated and growled menacingly in the direction of where Kazemi is.
"Hoh~ I didn't expect that you were actually an intelligent being... this event has turned out quite interesting"
Kazemi stated with an amused look as he slowly walked out of his hiding place with two sheathed blades on his waist.
Although he was surprised at the fact that the Mutated Lizardman has wisdom, he wasn't bothered much about it since he was still confident in killing him.
"What... are... you... do..ing... he..re... human...?"
The Lizardman asked with a menacing look while growling at him threateningly.
"Well... I wanted to see whether I could kill an Overlord so... here I am"
Kazemi answered with a calm smile while ignoring the loud menacing growl that was directed at him.
"You... human... will.. die... because... of.. your... overconfidence..."
The Lizardman stated with a sadistic smile as he was already thinking of what kind of ways he should kill this human in front of him.
"Oh, is that so? but from my observation... you're the weakest out of the four overlords"
"I don't think I have anything to worry about dying since it will be you who will die... the weakest Overlord"
Kazemi stated in a mocking tone and a smirk on his face as he stared at the Lizard with a pitiful look.
GROWL~
When the Mutated Lizardman heard that, he didn't say anything as he growled even more menacingly and flicked his hands as sharp claws came out of them.
"You... will.. pay... for... that.. human..." the Lizardman growled.
The two of them were staring at each other intently for a few minutes before the both of them dashed as they clashed their claws and blade with each other
Slash~ Clang~

In a Wooden Hut
Inside a room, two people were sitting at a table with tea and peanuts on it as they watched a young boy fight against a Mutated Lizardman through the magic 'Aqua Aera'.
"Have you already decided to entrust 'it' to him?"
A short bald elderly man asked while he sips a green tea on the table.
"Yes... I don't have much time to live"
An elderly woman answered while snacking on some peanuts.
"But he's only 8 years old... isn't he too young to accept such a burden..."
The short elderly man questioned as he put down the tea and stared at the woman across him.
"He's the only person so far who is the most compatible with it... only he could maintain my legacy alive"
The elderly woman stated and formed a smile as she glanced at the young boy on the screen.
"Sigh... if you changed your mind, I can always recommend someone to you... I have quite a few brats in my guild that might be somewhat compatible with it"
The elderly man stated and sighed as he continued to watch the screen while sipping on a tea.
"It seems Precht made the right decision to appoint you as the guild master... Makarov"
The elderly woman said as she praised and smiled at him with an approving look.
"Cough... I didn't expect the famous 'Sea Maiden' would compliment me... Lady Mabel"
Makarov stated as he almost choked on his tea and stared at Mabel with a surprised look.
"That's a bit rude, I know how to compliment others... give me some respect... I am one of the founders of Fairy tail after all"
Mabel said and pouted a little bit before she turned back to her calm expression.
'Boy... I wish you good luck... the famous 'Sea Maiden' is known for her cruel training...'
Makarov silently thought as he stared at the young man on the screen with a pitiful look.
