Chapter 78 Flying in the Sky

The girls retreated back a tiny bit to see me grinning at the rice bags .

Now then what to do now . Right when I thought that .

ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU ZU

What!? It's shaking? Looking around, I realized that only the area around the marsh was shaking .

BWOOOOOOOOSH

A wave of mud suddenly gushed out of the marsh . The mud caught my legs, washing me away . Yes, I had relaxed my guard after getting the rice, loosening my focus on the high mobility magic .

"NUOAAAAA" "YAAAAAAN" "GINYAAAAAAA" "HIAAAAAAA"

The four of us screamed as our whole bodies got washed off and covered in mud . It's making it hard to move, and worse of all, the mud drenched the inside of my pants, it feels so gross . I'd love to get in bath as soon as possible if I could, but the thing in front of us doesn't seem like it'll let us .

A gigantic monster that's taken position in front of us are staring at us with dead-fish-like eyes .

It's what looked like a small island in the center of marsh . I didn't think twice about it since I thought it was just a geographical feature, turned out it was a monster . Its whole body looks to be around five meter long . A tadpole gigantic enough to necessitate looking up is towering over us .

Uwaah, it's using its two legs to forcefully support itself and stand up, but that should be physically impossible . More importantly, its muscly legs look so raw it's disgusting . Mitama and the girls behind me are looking at it like it's a filth .

Its gleaming slippery looking lustrous dark body is making it worse . Its puckered-up mouth and rotund eyes are specially of note, but as mentioned above, those eyes look like that of a dead fish .

Evil Tadpole Lv32

HP: 245/245 - MP: 23/42

A gigantic tadpole monster . Produce Shut-in Frogs and Shut-in Venom Frogs by consuming mana . Its skin is covered in mucus that halves physical damages .

I think after seeing Discerning-sensei's appraisal results . This is not about chicken or egg problem . Why is a tadpole producing frogs . What the heck .

What I understand is how absurd so many things are in this world .

Looks like that's it for pondering time . The other side has no intention to let us escape it seems .

First, I'll use stone wall to stop its track, though I'm not sure how long it'll last .

"Stone Wall!!"

BOOM, I constructed a stone wall that covered us completely . Alright alright, we're under construction here, this place is off-limit to non-authorized personnel .

I also produce plenty of warm water that I pour into everyone from head down . Should be better than being all muddy .

" . . . Thanks, Nobu . "

"Yeap, but err, what're we gonna do with that thingy? Don't think we can fight well on these footholds . "

"Futsuno-san, shoot fire magic around to dampen the moisture and stabilize our footing . Kagursan, Mitama, you two are Futsuno-san's bodyguards . Once the area around here has dried up, join in the fray . I'll buy us some time until then . "

Tamchan, you're with them . As I think that, she nodded (?) by shaking her body, scattering water everywhere .

I focus back on high mobility magic and run on top of the mud like sliding . I'm panicking after confirming the situation over there .

Yup, the stone wall is about to be broken down . Cracks are running on it . That wall is one meter thick though .

BAAAAAAAM

The stone wall was destroyed by its ramming attack, splinters that got scattered about in the surroundings turned back into mana element .

My current capability allows me to only cast one simple type of magic while I'm focusing on high mobility magic . I thought of shooting a huge one from afar, but using stuff like electricity would result in disastrous collateral damage, what's with mud all around us .

I've got to turn the monster's attention to me away from the girls .

I construct a magic while going around it and activating Provocation .

"!"

I shot out a compressed spinning flame bullet toward Evil Tadpole .

Skid

Juwa

OMG . The flame bullet was easily extinguished the moment it touched its lustrous slippery skin . Oy oy, just how thick that layer of mucus is . That magic is strong enough to pierce through an iron plate and melt it down in the process though .

I observed the Evil Tadpole's movement while circling around it . Then as it began putting strength into those already thick legs, blue vein-like things surfaced on them before those legs turned twice as thick . It then stares at me in a forward-bent posture . A moment later, Evil Tadpole was already up in the air, aiming to land right on me .

"Uwawawawawawawa"

I accelerated myself with
