Well even Randidly had to admit the departure was a bit abrupt But the feeling of flying through the air breaking through the cloud barrier and seeing the breathtaking vista ah of course He wouldnÆt have been able to see He was trapped inside of the vine cocoon Hmm
Perhaps the FrogperonÆs journey had been rougher than Randidly had realized
Finally after almost five minutes the frog person straightened and wiped its mouth But then its eyes went as round as saucers as it pointed above Randidly Cloud Serpents We are doomed
Randidly turned Out of the hole that their descent had punched in the cloud layer three strange flying reptiles were descending hissing and spitting Altogether they seemed extremely unpleasant If Randidly had to describe them they looked most like alligators with large leathery wings instead of stubby little arms like most gators had
The lizards seemed fixated on the two of them and began to glide down toward their position They were respectively Level 69 Level 70 and Level 64
Randidly released a low whistle No Mana would make it difficult but these would probably provide quite a bit of experience Best start quickly because they had already wasted enough time
When Randidly turned around the frogperson was still trembling Hey Kid Your name
Ah The frogperson blinked He took several steps back IÆm Shual But we need to go Those monsters
Are my prey Randidly grinned His Crown of Upheaval and Gloom began to shine even more brightly Wait here IÆll show you what sort of man you have been chosen by
The Randidly looked upward toward the three descending lizards Even if Randidly was strong enough to take them all head on it would be difficult to ensure that Shual would be fine without relying on Mana Therefore it was best to take the fight to them
Six Phantom Half Steps burned through quite a bit of RandidlyÆs Stamina but it also brought him rapidly closer to the weakest of the three Sky Serpents They were all pretty similar in size perhaps ten meters long and as thick as a tree trunk
Unfortunately for the Sea Serpent Randidly had chosen its momentum carried it forward to within armÆs reach of Randidly before it had even realized that he had materialized before it
Raucous PhantomÆs Finale
His huge metal arm smashed into the monster’s snout shattering the cartilage of its nose It roared in pain which allowed Randidly to reach into its mouth with the same arm and grab its tongue His hand quickly contracted binding the appendage until it bulged as though it was about to burst The monster quickly smashed its jaws shut like a steel trap but even its Level 64 teeth struggled to find purchase on RandidlyÆs arm Only a few shallow scratches were left
You wonÆt find finer steel in all of Earth Randidly thought wryly He wondered if he could someone record a commercial demonstration of the product with something like this
Grinning Randidly flexed his other arm and Acri shot out to its straight form The two other Sky Serpents were twisting around to assist their weaker companion but Randidly was lightning fast as he slashed and severed the front two wings of his Sky Serpent
Immediately it began to keen in pain and fall directly out of the sky While it was stunned by the pain Randidly twisted his body and brought his legs up around the main body Then he used his leverage to shift his position to mounting the Sky Serpent his arm screeching as the monster refused to let go of his arm
Randidly grinned You are going to regret that
Randidly sat directly above its head his arm twisted around and stuck without the mouth of the beast Flooding the arm with Aether Randidly began to pull He could feel the Sky Serpent straining but it managed to resist him Barely
Two things happened in quick succession A flood of strength filled his arm that allowed him to snap the mouth of the Sky Serpent open A part of its jaw gave way from the abruptness of the motion Like most creatures the bottom jaw was on a hinge but the top was not
At the same time they crashed into the ground The Sky SerpentÆs head broke the worst of RandidlyÆs fall
From the cracked ground of their landing spot Randidly stood He flicked out Acri and thrust the point of the blade into the head of the agonized Sky Serpent putting it out of its misery Then Randidly raised his arms to the sky and laughed
WhoÆs next
Chapter 892
What is that
Uh Shual struggled to focus his gaze on the blurred countryside to pinpoint the location the Demon Prince was imperiously pointing Likely because the Prince was aware of ShualÆs inability to cope with the current speed he had slowed down somewhat But it was still far too fast for Shual to have a clear view
The best he could do was see a wiggly blob That ah a Wraithplant ItÆs a vile thing that can use shadow magic
Ah If itÆs only a plant The Demon Prince didnÆt even bother to finish his sentence as his eyes began to glow an eerie emerald Shual shivered
Then the duoÆs motion accelerated and they sped past the hill where Shual had seen something he believed was a Wraithplant Behind them they left the pained screams of the poor monster as the thing ripped itself apart
Currently Shual was clinging to a cramped basket made of sturdy vines that the Demon Prince had constructed for him The first day Shual had just been carried so although the current situation wasnÆt ideal it was much improved from the hellish twenty four hours that had started off this crazy journey It had been almost three days since they had left the portal and during that time the two of them had acted like more like an exterminator than a Demon Prince
Anything and everything the Demon Prince would kill it Shual wondered what Level the Demon Prince had reached Do Demons have Levels
Or maybe the reason that he always stops to kill things is because he enjoys the feeling of slaughter some part of Shual whispered to himself He did his best to squelch that thought before it gained traction It was difficult enough to not have a mental breakdown simply watching this walking death machine that was the Demon Prince do his deadly business
It would be quite another thing to admit that one day Shual or other Frogpeople would be the next item on the agenda for the Demon Prince As for what Shual would do on that day luckily he hadnÆt been forced to make that decision
Although Shual had volunteered to save a former classmate it now seemed foolish and distant Three days of being treated by a disposable tour guide had certainly strained Shual
So far however the Demon Prince had gone out of his way to avoid Frogpeople Both in numbers and individuals who were wandered the countryside Besides the Demon Prince seemed mostly concerned with rushing South
They had passed some obviously but they were moving so quickly that there was no interaction Which was good Because if they had time to interact with a group Shual would have been forced to consider whether he should call for help or not
Or if he should call out a warning for all the other Frogpeople to run away So many decisions that Shual would probably have to make someday but he was currently spared taking an action that he could not take back
Somehow Shual suspected that the Demon Prince would not take any disobedience kindly
During the journey basically the only things Shual did were answer easy questions about the world and watch the Demon Prince What surprised Shual the most about the Demon Prince was how reasonable he sounded when he wasnÆt ripping some monster apart with his bare hands His casual questions about the world and society from which Shual came were intelligent and Shual had no reason not to explain him So he went through the topics of the regional Toad Lords and the batches of spawn that were separated by potential and sent off to Academies to train
Shual even surprised himself by unloading all of the stress he had been compacting from his time in the Academy where an administrator had hated him to such a degree that the had purposefully suppressed all of ShualÆs positive results Due to that he had graduated and drifted around for almost three months unable to find any Toad Lord willing to allow him into its service
