24-24 Im parrying frogs (1/2)

I thought to myself as I popped the huge claws of the black frog in front of me.

This frog is not that responsive...

No, every time I hit it, I feel a violent impact on my black sword handle, and each blow is strong in its own way, but ...... it's not that difficult.

Compared to the goblin of yesterday, it is about the same or a little weaker.

If that's the case, this frog is probably one of the weaker demons.

No, it is even weaker than the goblin, which is called ...... ”the weakest demon,” so it may not even be a demon.

If that's the case, I might be able to handle it.

It's difficult for me to defeat it by myself without any means of attack, but if I wait for Lean and Ines to catch up, I'm sure I can defeat it.

All right, then, let's buy some time...

I'm also a little confident in my physical strength.

As I readied my sword, the body of the frog in front of me suddenly expanded greatly.

Just as I thought something was wrong, the frog's mouth opened wide and I saw something black swirling in the back of its throat.

Before I could question it, the frog spat out a mass of black mist with great force.

I could have avoided it if I had wanted to.

But if I did, it would surely hit the boy behind me.

I couldn't move from the spot, and I was hit head-on by the black mist and got it all over my body.

Some of it went into my mouth.

Immediately after, I spurted out a lot of blood from my mouth.

”Is this poison?

My whole body hurt like hell and I felt dizzy.

I knew it when I ate it.

This is poison.

It's a very strong poison.

And that's when I finally realized.

When I ran out, Inez was about to say something. She must have been warning me that this frog was a poisonous frog.

It's no wonder that each of its attacks had been so little - the creature's greatest weapon was not its fangs or claws, which looked so powerful.

It has a powerful toxin stored in its stomach.

This is the creature's greatest offense...

At the same time...

I thought, as blood spurted out of my body.

Well, maybe this is something I can handle.

Once, when I was living alone in the mountains.

I accidentally ate a mushroom that my mother told me not to eat.

The name of the mushroom was ”dragon destroying mushroom”.

It's a mushroom with a poison so strong that it's said to kill even dragons.

I don't know why I came home with such a thing.

Maybe I was so excited by the huge harvest that day that I didn't notice that something dangerous was mixed in.

Anyway, I put it in a pot, boiled it, and ate it for dinner.

Some time later, my stomach hurt so badly that I coughed up a lot of blood.

I finally realized that I had eaten something I shouldn't have, but it was too late.

It had been a long time since I had eaten, so I couldn't throw up.

The poison seemed to have spread all over my body, and I couldn't even move.

I just kept applying the [low heel] that I had just put on my stomach.

It was the only way I could think of.

Then I felt my stomach slowly heal... but if I let up, I immediately coughed up blood again.

I couldn't let my guard down for even a second.

If I wasn't careful, blood would gush out from every part of my body, and I kept putting [low heels] on myself, ready to die.

After that, I continued to suffer day and night, occasionally drinking water, and rolling around on the ground, bleeding again.

I thought I was going to die many times, but I persevered.

Somehow, if I kept wearing [low heels], my body was able to move a little.

So, even though it was very painful, I did not miss my daily routine.

I decided to do it every day, so I did it.

I was determined to do it.

I couldn't put much strength into my arms.

Even so, I only wielded the wooden sword while coughing up blood.

I might die like this.

That's what I thought.

But then one morning, about seven days later, I noticed something strange.

My stomach didn't hurt at all.

The hematemesis had stopped.

And my body felt surprisingly light.

Well, I suppose that's true.

I haven't eaten right in a week.

I went hunting for a nutritious meal.

I could kill a wild boar in my current condition, I was hungry, and I wanted to eat meat.

With this in mind, I went into the forest, but I made a mistake here too.

I was bitten by a big viper.

I thought I was going to die there.

I managed to get rid of the viper, but I thought I was just going to die, so I lay down in the forest with my eyes closed.

But the funny thing is...

But the funny thing is... I don't feel the poison kicking in.

I didn't feel any pain anywhere in my body.

I got up, wondering why, and took the snake home, cooked it and ate it.

I had heard that I couldn't eat the snake because it was poisonous - but I was really hungry.

The snake's venom didn't seem to have any effect on me, so I guessed the snake wasn't very poisonous.

Maybe it's not really poisonous.

Then it's safe to eat.

I was just a kid, so I guess I thought it was easy.

But when I tried the snake, I was shocked.

...... It was incredibly delicious.

It was much juicier than the meat of a mountain chicken.

It had more flavor than any mushroom I've ever eaten.
