Chapter 149 - Mud Crab (2/2)

Ray decided to de summon his clone as he realised there was a downside when using the clone. The clone would stay out as long as it was still alive but if Ray didn't deactivate the skill, his mana points would never increase above 50/100. It was as if his mana was constantly powering the clone.

”You mean you're a mage, wow that's so cool I've never seen one before!” Tuffy shouted. ”But you look like a warrior?”

Ray laughed nervously.

”I'm a fighter mage, I use weapons and magic.”

The kids seemed to be even more interested in Ray now.

Finally, the kids had led Ray to a part of the swamp that was mostly filled with just water. It looked like a giant lake of muddy water while the outskirts of it were filled with trees and vines. Inside the lake though, there were several green boulders.

”You see those there?” Tuffy said pointing at the boulder closest to them. ”They're called Green clops, if you get close to them, they'll start moving all of a sudden. This place is perfect for anyone who is looking to train, as they only react when someone gets close. This way adventures can fight them one by one rather than a whole horde of them.”

Ray started to walk towards the green boulder and just like Tuffy had said, the boulder started to shake and move. A single red eye had opened on the top part of the boulder and suddenly the boulder stood up. It was covered in mud making it difficult to see what its body looked like, all that could be seen was its giant red eye.

”Careful, there known for its hard…” Before Candy could finish her sentence Ray had punched the giant mud ball and caused rocks and mud to splatter all over.

Ray was pleased with the hunting area the kids had shown him. It was rare for creatures to bundle up like this unless it was in their nature like bee type creatures. Ray got lucky last time due to the Dragon roar attracting everything around him. So, for them to know of a place like this was practically a gold mine for him.

Ray continued going to the boulders dealing with each one as easy as he did the first. The kids got to work quickly as it was more difficult for them to find the Crystal cores due to the way Ray was dealing with them. Parts of the Green clops would splatter everywhere and into the mud, making it hard for the kids to find the right body part containing the crystal.

The muddy lake was gigantic and it looked like there were about 100 green boulders. After Ray had defeated 30 of them in the first half of the lake, he suddenly stopped. The kids were wondering what had happened.

It was simple though, Ray was no longer gaining any Intermediate crystals from the Green clops, so there was no need for him to continue killing beasts.

The kids thought Ray's actions were weird. He had defeated each of them with ease and didn't look like he was tired. If he continued to kill the beasts then he could go on to sell their crystal cores.

”Come on let's get out of here,” Ray said.

Suddenly though, in the centre of the lake, a loud rumbling sound could be heard. Small waves were starting to be pushed out towards them.

”What going on!” Candy shouted.

Tuffy was too frightened to say anything, he was just shaking in fear pointing at the centre of the lake.

When Ray turned around to get a look at what was behind him, he saw a Giant Crab covered in mud. It was the Mud Crab.
