Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Grim Reaper of the Forest, the Mighty Clover Mantis
A set of miraculous data appeared above the Clover Mantis, and Char was overwhelmed with intense joy.
But beyond the joy, a corner of his heart was still occupied by worry and urgency:
The Lotus Leaf Frog had just been sent flying by a hit from a Big Goblin, and its condition was still unclear!
Just now, he had to act as the mainstay, facing the majority of the enemies, unable to spare any attention for it, but now that stronger reinforcements had arrived, was there any need for him to keep straining himself?
Therefore, Char could only delay his jubilation.
He merely glanced at the Clover Mantis’s panel in haste before leaping from the carriage and sprinting towards the spot where the Lotus Leaf Frog had fallen, just as the Wind Winged Horse came to a stop.
“Mr. Char!”
Seeing Char jump off the carriage, Betty cried out in alarm, worried that he would be surrounded by the goblins.
But, no goblin dared to approach.
All the goblins were intimidated by the terrifying strength showcased by the Clover Mantis, and none of them tried to advance even after seeing Char voluntarily jump off the carriage.
Even the goblins that had been heading towards the spot where the Lotus Leaf Frog fell, hoping to take advantage of the situation, stopped in their tracks and retreated subconsciously as Char drew closer.
They were not just afraid of Char but even more so of the Clover Mantis!
The scene from just moments ago, where the Clover Mantis had instantly slaughtered numerous goblins and Big Goblins like a meat grinder, was too cruel and had already scattered the little bravery the goblins possessed.
Not only the goblins and Big Goblins, but even the Bear Goblin chiefs had lost their will to fight at this point.
On the carriage, seeing Char jump off and head alone towards where the Lotus Leaf Frog had crashed, the Star Worm and the Lantern Firefly, without a word, immediately abandoned their foes and chased after Char.
To them, nothing was more important than Char’s safety.
The Clover Mantis was a bit slower in reacting compared to the Star Worm and the Lantern Firefly. Only after eliminating two Big Goblins did it fly towards Char.
But its speed was much faster than that of the Star Worm and the Lantern Firefly, like a flicker of emerald green shadow from the forest, it was by Char’s side in the blink of an eye.
For the Clover Mantis too, Char’s safety was of the utmost importance.
Compared to that, pursuing goblins was hardly a concern.
By now, Char had already found the Lotus Leaf Frog, which looked rather pitiful having crashed into the shrubbery.
The Big Goblin’s club was wrapped in iron sheeting, and the sheeting had spikes protruding from its surface, so the hit did not just injure the Lotus Leaf Frog but also left many bloody holes on its body, looking bloody and grim.
However, Char breathed a sigh of relief.
Because according to the panel, the Lotus Leaf Frog’s Life Value had not decreased by much, at least not enough to endanger its life.
“Clover Mantis, heal the Lotus Leaf Frog,” Char instructed.
With Char’s command, a life-affirming green light appeared above the head of the Lotus Leaf Frog. The green light condensed into the shape of a clover, and a handful of clovers fell down, covering the Lotus Leaf Frog’s wounds.
The horrific wounds began to visibly heal at an astonishing rate!
This was the Clover Mantis’s healing skill— “Clover’s Summer,” a powerful Level 3 skill!
Therefore, as soon as it was activated, Char witnessed its impressive healing capabilities.
And this was just a part of the might of “Clover’s Summer.”
Because the injuries to the Lotus Leaf Frog only looked dire, they were not severe. It had only lost a third of its blood, and there was no need for a powerful Level 3 healing skill to be activated to its full extent.

The amount of healing was far in excess, and any excess was a waste.
Therefore, the Clover Mantis merely invoked a very small portion of the power from “Clover’s Summer.” For it, controlling the intensity of its skills was as simple as drinking water.
Strength was dictated by will, and it hardly caused any waste of magic power.
“Clover Mantis, slaughter all these ugly goblins!”
Seeing that the Lotus Leaf Frog had fully recovered, Char gave the order once more, his voice steeped in coldness.
The next second, the Clover Mantis transformed into a jade-colored reaper, chasing down the goblins who were now clumsily attempting to flee for their lives.
Its two emerald hand blades, enhanced by the skill “Emerald Light Blade,” were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, leaving no goblin standing in its wake with a single strike.
Even the seemingly strong Bear Goblin stood no chance against the Clover Mantis.
Char’s gaze followed the movements of the Clover Mantis.
It was only now that he allowed himself to be swept away by surprise and took the opportunity to carefully examine the panel data of the Clover Mantis.
As a Demon Beast with a Challenge Level of 5, the average attributes of the Clover Mantis should have reached 50.
But the Strength and Defense attributes of the Clover Mantis were not high, with Strength at only 43 and Defense even lower at 37, well below the average.
However, this could be seen from the appearance of the Clover Mantis; with its size and lack of leather, scales, or a hard shell on its body, how could its Strength and Defense be high?
But the Speed attribute of the Clover Mantis was very high, reaching 67, and its Intelligence and Perception were also above the average.
This elevated the base attributes of the Clover Mantis, and compared to other Demon Beasts with a Challenge Level of 5, the disparity was not large.
What truly brought the Clover Mantis’s Challenge Level to 5 were its skills.
The Clover Mantis had a total of three skills, a modest number, but two of them were Ring 3 skills and one was a Ring 2 skill, one of which was the rarely seen healing skill.
This was quite remarkable!
It was the strength of its skills that enhanced the combat power of the Clover Mantis, raising its Challenge Level to 5.
If the skills of the Clover Mantis were less impressive, with its base attributes, its Challenge Level would hardly have reached 5.
Not far away, the Wind Winged Horse had come to a complete stop.
It had just launched “Wind Blade Burst,” causing decent damage, but this was overshadowed by the radiance of the Clover Mantis; the scene hardly drew any attention.
“That’s great, Mr. Char, everyone is safe!”
Betty arrived tardily, patting her tiny chest and feeling unsettled as she spoke.
Then she flew to the Lotus Leaf Frog, concerned about its injuries.
The Lotus Leaf Frog, dazed, tilted its head and let out a soft “croak?”
Char chuckled, glanced at the system task bar, and saw that the task “kill this group of goblins” was still incomplete. After a while, the task suddenly showed as completed.
Instantly, twenty-five threads of Praying Power were credited to his account, including a piece of equipment called “Bloodthirsty Pupil,” of which he was curious about the effect.
Given the difficulty of the task, it was undoubtedly stronger than the Wild Boar Dagger and was likely an accessory he could wear.
A sense of anticipation couldn’t help but grow in Char’s heart.
Although both were his own combat power, the feeling of possessing extraordinary power in a Magic Pet was completely different from wielding it himself.
Although he had become an archer not long ago, Char was already fascinated by the ability to move stealthily, shoot with precision from great distances, and easily kill enemies and prey.
Now, about to acquire a piece of equipment that could significantly enhance his own strength, how could he not be expectant?
