I Just want a Peaceful life-Chapter 482 Crabfrog
[5th Circle - Surge's Barrier] *Whoosh* A translucent fire barrier envelopes everyone. Angus and the others immediately look at the barrier surrounding their body. As Fire Phoenix, Jayna notices the barrier is similar to Fire Barrier but many times stronger.
Comparing the two spells is like comparing a bubble with a solid crystal object. This is also not a wrong metaphor since the Fire Barrier looks like a bubble of fire elements covering the whole body.
In contrast, Surge's Barrier is similar to crystallite made of fire elements that cover the whole body while magically flexible like Fire Barrier. Moreover, Surge's Barrier is not only to burn and protect from harmful things. It also repels dangerous stuff.
They could feel the Surge's barrier repel the surrounding purple mist in the air rather than directly burning them like Fire Barrier.
'So, this is the next level of Fire Barrier.' thought Angus as he marveled at the spell.
Unlike Fire Barrier, he couldn't find a weak spot on the Surge's Barrier. He feels like he is in contact with magic for the first time and keeps observing the spell. Fortunately, Jayna understands Angus's obsession with new magical stuff.
Therefore, she decides to take care of the excited Anna, who keeps calling them from the small pond. The Surge's Barrier may look sophisticated but compared to her Fire Phoenix defensive skill, it still looks weaker.
"Big sis.. Big sis… Looks, I found a pretty shell." called Anna excitedly while taking out a purple shell.
At this moment, everyone noticed the shell was the one that emitted the potent toxin in the surrounding area.
"What kind of shell is that?" exclaimed Angus curiously.
"Hmm… I believe it is Crabfrog's Shell." said Darren after observing it closely.
"Crabfrog?!" asked Angus.
"It is a rare small beast with a bloodline similar to the Murk, a big frog-like monster. However, it uses mana core and is a thousand times more poisonous than adult Murk. It is hailed to be the most poisonous beast in the world." explained Darren.
"Thousand times more poisonous than Murk?! Does such a creature truly exist?" exclaimed Aunt Extalia.
"Yes. However, nature has its laws and maintains its balance on its own. The Crabfrog has a short lifespan and is not bigger than a palm. This is also the reason for its rareness. It is a fortune that we can find it even if it is only its death shells." explained Darren.
"Though I don't know if it is a fortune or not since it could kill anything in its surroundings with its toxic body." added Darren.
"Woooahh… Baldy.. Baldy Corpse, did the froggy eat a snake?" asked Anna excitedly.
"Err… I-I am not sure about it, Lady Anna. I have never encountered one alive and only know about them from stories and books." replied Darren while getting a mental attack as Anna changed his nickname to Baldy Corpse.
"Ehhh… It sounds cute. I hope it doesn't eat snakes or Onyx will never be able to play with it." said Anna.
"Err… Anna isn't it the reverse?! Usually, a snake is the one that eats frogs?" lectured Angus.
"No way, Onyx is too cute and fragile. There is no way it could eat it. If Anna is not taking care of it will probably die somewhere." replied Anna while petting the gloomy Onyx.
'Since when the Zokline ancient snake was fragile?!! It could even withstand the attack of a seventh-grade beast and be alive.' thought everyone.
"Hohoho… Now, I know why Master likes you, Lady Anna." said Darren.
"Hee.. What do you mean, Baldy Corpse?!! Anna and Mira are always like each other. We will be best friends forever." said Anna while snuggling with Mira.
"Umm." nodded Mira with her usual doll-like face.
Then, they didn't waste any more time and returned to Craghost Town as it was near noon time. At first, Anna wants to search for the Crabfrog beast, but Angus persuades her not to since the beast is rarer than Death Rose. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
Although there is a huge chance of another Crabfrog living in this forest, it still needs a miracle to find it without any clue. Anna's superb instinct also couldn't help her this time. Otherwise, she will run off somewhere and return while holding Crabfrog long ago.
Still, Angus didn't miss this chance to collect some purple water in the small pond and observe the shell. He also asks Darren more about Crabfrog. On the surface, Angus looks like he plans to learn one of the deadliest natural poisons in this world and Crabfrog characteristics.
However, he actually plans to unlock the Crabfrog inside his system. Angus finds the best way to unlock the enemy selection is to fight them multiple times, but he could also unlock it by getting some reference from the book or its body part.
One of the examples of creatures that were unlocked through reference is High-Grade Slime he met inside the Surya Dessert long ago. After reading countless references about slime and analyzing its slime, he unlocked the High-Grade Slime in his system.
Therefore, he could easily procure high-grade slime for his project. Although he still wasn't able to make a lot of breakthroughs, he still at least didn't need to worry about obtaining the slime.
If Angels could unlock Crabfrog in his system, he could have access to one of the deadliest poisons in Firuman. This could increase his chance of winning against high-grade combatants. At first, Angus thought of using Onyx's poison.
However, the beast is too strong for him in real life, much less in his manual battle system where the enemy is somehow many times stronger and deadlier than its original.
Despite having the combat prowess similar to the fifth-grade combatant, Angus never dared to fight anyone above fourth-grade or third-grade monster in his system.
He almost died a few times, if not because of his ridiculous regeneration. He even needs to use his domain technique on a few occasions.
On the way back, Angus checks his system to check if he managed to unlock Crabfrog or not. Unfortunately, he didn't unlock it and decided to check his status. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖
Host: Angus Victory
Age: 18 Years Old
MP: 732/732
Chi: 1003
Heritage chi: ???
Strength: 58
Dexterity: 57
,m Intelligence: 56
Vitality: 57
Soul Point: 323.745
Soul Reserve: 877
Seeing his attribute almost reach 60 points, Angus feels frustrated. Since the soul point requirement will double with each 5 soul points, it will become more than ten thousand points to increase one after reaching the 60 mark.
In contrast, he will only get around 45-50 soul points each day from his idle system, depending on the enemy he selected. With how it progresses, his three hundred thousand soul points will be gone by the time he reaches 65 in all of his attributes.
After that, his increase will become slower like before. Unless he finds massive soul points again like in Black Fortress, his growth rate will become slower. Still, he is already satisfied with his current power.
Although it is not as monstrous as those pseudo seventh grades or seventh grade, he is already many times stronger than ordinary humans. Moreover, he is still not fully maximizing his third grade yet. He still has a lot of improvement in his mana and other magical spells.
Soon, they arrive at the Craghost and go to the hotel to pick up Eric and his royal guard. Aunt Extalia finds Roy is going somewhere and decides to let him be. Whether he will betray them or not depends on his next choice.
When they pick up Eric, they find the charismatic and confident crown prince shivering in a cold sweat as he looks at Mira among them. He still couldn't forget the boundless pressure he felt before he passed out yesterday.
Not to mention Eric, even seventh-grade Yawan will still have cold sweat in front of Mira's strange gaze. Ignoring the crown prince, they go to the examination place and are ready to face hard retaliation.
Although Darren had already assured everyone everything would be fine, they still didn't lower their vigilance. Once the fight breaks out, Angus and the others will immediately return to the Heart Kingdom.
The battle between seventh-grade combatants is not something they could easily meddle with. If Mira also participates, the Craghost and the entire Twilbo Forest could also be gone from the map.
Arriving at the plaza, they find everyone staring at them while avoiding them, afraid of being labeled with them. Because of yesterday's incident, they are sure even the natural Altras will retaliate in anger.
Everyone is also surprised at Darren's sudden bald head, but no one dares to laugh and comment about it as they still remember the intense pressure he released yesterday.
"Hmph… To think they still dare to come here. Vampires really have no shame." commented a man with wings on his back not far away from him.
Before they could reply to the blatant provocation, "*BAM* Dumbass!! Can you not create trouble just for one day?!!" lectured the older Fullross while hitting the younger one.
"Oww… Uncle Urblim, it hurts!!" replied the younger Fullross while rubbing his bum.
"Then, shut up your mouth and wait silently without creating trouble!!" rebuked Urblim.
"Tch… But, I am not wrong. Those Vampires just keep doing what they want. Hmph… I want to see what he will do next when he angers the whole Nirvas." said the young Fullross.
