Chapter 30: Immature (1/2)
”Magic Bullet.”
Boom.
Theo's Magic Bullet just created a hole in the toad's body. He had been hunting more than thirteen toads and leveled up two times, but none of them dropped the Poison Sac he wanted until this one.
He placed his hand on its head as a card fell from the disappearing body.
Poison Sac (F)
Giant Toad's Poison Sac.
The explanation was pretty much it from the card, but if he used his Skylink to identify it, he would be able to get detailed explanations about its usage since the people had researched it in the past.
”Finally! It's almost lunch already… To think I have hunted the toads for hours.” He let out a long sigh and decided to take a breath, finding a safe spot. He had his lunch to rejuvenate himself to fight for the rest of the day.
After that, he ended up killing a few more monsters and getting a bit lucky as they dropped two skill cards.
Having no use for the current situation, Theo stored them in his bag as he had gathered four F Rank skills in his bag.
To upgrade his clone skill, he needed one more F Rank Skill, albeit it seemed to be not possible today.
It was already past 4 PM and the return journey needed an hour. To avoid getting stuck in the dark, Theo had no choice other than to go home.
But a ridiculous thought appeared in Theo's mind. ”I think I can fight one more time. I've never fought two monsters at a time. Should I test it today or just wait? No, I shouldn't waste too much time because I will become more hesitant in the future. I will just fight a pair of toads since I have been killing so many of them today to the point I learn their attack patterns. It should be perfect for today's last fight.”
This thought came after remembering what happened to the last party he killed. He began wondering whether he had the ability to take on two toads simultaneously since he had leveled up four times today.
”Can I do this?” Theo muttered in a low voice while looking at the two toads staring at each other. 'From my perspective, I should be able to do it since it's been a pretty easy fight for the whole day even though all of them came only one at a time.'
He summoned his clone after gaining a bit more confidence but hesitated for one last time when he was about to charge.
'Still, I was once in a party myself. Every single member boosted the whole party's overall strength by a large amount.' He thought for another minute before shaking that thought off.
'I can escape by sacrificing my clone, so it should be fine.' Theo nodded with a solemn expression as he rose from the ground.
He made the first move by sending his clone to the front, becoming their target.
”It's time.”
Croak.
The toads noticed him and turned their giant bodies, facing this person who dared to face them by himself.
Their cheeks bloated a little as they both stretched their tongues to kill him like what Theo witnessed a few hours ago.
