Chapter 39: Lava Frogs (2/2)

So this was commanding his minions all this time. Kadyn thought.

He wasted no time and bolted towards the volcano. ”Damn, my luck is really shitty. I have just arrived and already stumbled upon a group of these strange creatures!”

”Tarrr tarrr tarrr…”

The Lava Frogs started to chase after him, braying and flogging, showing their confidence in their king. The Frog King hopped from boulder to boulder, pursuing Kadyn. Every jump caused enormous splashes on the lava.

”TARRRR…”

When it brayed, the fire breath came out of its mouth with the tongue. Kadyn felt a chill run down on his back and he padded his legs faster than ever. He feared that he might piss his pants due to fear. After all he was human, not a god, fearing something was normal.

”Just a bit more!” Kadyn saw the ground not far away from him and headed forwards with all his might. The frog was just behind him, leaping in his direction and trying to catch him. It was just seven-eight meters behind him. Kadyn could feel the frog trailing at his back. He felt vipers crawling over his neck, sprinting even faster.

When Kadyn was just two meters away from the ground, he turned around to take a look at the Frog King. A terrible mistake.

”Boom!”

The creature was just behind him, and when he turned around, his speed slowed down and the frog reached him. Before Kadyn could understand the situation he was in, the Frog King hopped out of the lava and slammed into him. Kadyn panicked as there was no time or space to dodge or crouch such a gigantic creature. It was around the side of a bull. In a panic he activated his lightning pattern and punched with all his strength.

”Bang!

The fist landed on the head of the frog and covered its entire body in lightning. The frog screeched in agony, but like other frogs, it didn't explode. Instead, after a brief period, the frog leaped and slammed into Kadyn, sending him sprawling. He coughed a mouthful of blood and smashed over ten meters away.

”Arghh,” he groaned miserably and realised that he had reached the ground. Kadyn stood and dashed towards the opposite of the Frog without even giving a second glance at the creature. That thing was too dangerous. Not even eight-star lightning spells worked on it. As continued to rush he heard screeching and hooting from behind, as if mocking him for running away like a coward.

In front of him the ground was protruded and from afar it looked like hundreds of dunes of sand in the desert. But that wasn't the case; they were stones. Kadyn wiped the sweat off his temples and murmured. ”Damn, this place is too dangerous.”

However, his lips curled, and a smile blossomed over his face. He felt thrilled and excited like never before when he was trying to escape. Though it was dangerous and at some point, he felt his pants might become wet because of horror, but in the end, it was a stimulating and refreshing feeling.

I want to explore this world even further. He thought and wiped the blood from his mouth and headed even deeper. Eager to find the herb, so he could cure his stars.
