Chapter 150: Coy Fish (1) (2/2)

Beneath the towering wave of water, Leonel could faintly catch a glimpse of beautiful, reflective blue scales.

Without hesitation, he pulled out his pistol, shooting a single normal shot. He thought that this would be all he needed to end things. But the result was far outside of his expectations.

DING!

Leonel's shot didn't even leave a dent. It rebounded off, causing Leonel to look in shock as his shot landed on a nearby patch of grass, burrowing into the soil.

After a moment, Leonel smirked.

'Well, good thing I picked that beast in particular.'

The massive scaled creature fell back into the waters, causing waves to flood over the sides toward Leonel. However, he didn't move, weathering the storm.

”… What is he doing?”

This was a question many of the youths were asking each other. Why was he standing in such a dangerous place? It should be obvious that normal methods weren't enough now.

KKKKKKKUUUUUAAAAAAAAAA!!

'There it is.'

Leonel's gaze gew focused. This was exactly what he was looking for.

'Don't blame me.' Leonel grinned to himself. 'I've lost count of the number of times I've gotten fish bones caught in my throat. Consider this a little payback.'

The rage of the massive beast shook the river. Leonel could imagine its pain. That deer he had fed it was no joke. Leonel had defeated it easily, but after testing the strength of its sharp antlers, the result shocked even him.

One could imagine the damage it could do inside that creature's stomach.

However, this wasn't all Leonel wanted. He was still biding his time, still waiting.

By now, the other youths realized that Leonel had done something. As for whatever it was, it was clear that it was very effective.

'There it is!'

The creature surged up once again, doing whatever it could think of to try and alleviate the pain it was suffering.

At that moment, Leonel did the unthinkable and jumped into the air with it.
