08. Toad
After taking the task, Luna tells Emiya some basic information about the giant toad.
In Axel, the giant toad is undoubtedly a mob, quite a crusade.
Basically, as long as you are a novice adventurer, you can get it.
But even so, giant toads are still monsters, so don't think they're just toads and underestimate them.
Their huge bodies are larger than cattle, and they want to replenish their strength to lay eggs as soon as they enter the breeding season, so they appear in human settlements with more food and devour goats raised by farmers in one bite.
In fact, every year when the toad breeds, the children of the colony and the people of the farm often go missing.
After obtaining the basic information from Luna's mouth, Emiya and his party set off on a battery car, leaving Axel, and galloping towards the wide plains outside.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the wide plain. A huge toad appeared in the field of vision of Emiya's group.
This red giant toad is really big, the elephant is not so big, it is not a loss of another world, even if it is just outside the novice adventure town, there will be monsters of this size.
Especially that thick layer of fat, which can easily resist blow-type attacks.
Ordinary fists and kicks can't hurt this kind of monster at all.
When Emiya saw the monster, he stopped the battery car and created a sharp Damascus knife and handed it to Kazuma Sato, "It's yours, come on." β
"Ahh Kazuma Sato pointed to his nose with a confused expression.
Akeya couldn't help but sneer, "It's worthy of being a cocoon dweller, useless waste materials, have you retreated now?" β
"Who will retreat, isn't it just a toad, I'll kill you."
Originally, seeing the size of the toad, Kazuma Sato, who was a little scared, was so excited by Akeya that he was hot-headed and killed with the weapon at hand.
Looking at its tragic back, it is indeed a little handsome.
However......
"Ahh Help me! Akeya, Emiya-san, save meββ! β
Wei Gong couldn't help but cover his face, this guy is too embarrassing.
Akya laughed even more, "Poof! Oops, super funny! And the real you, your face is red and there are tears, and you're super desperate! β
Emiya sighed, and four telekinetic hands flew out, easily immobilizing the limbs of the giant toad.
"Sato, attack."
Kazuma Sato, who was desperately trying to escape, glanced back, and when he found that the giant toad couldn't move, he couldn't help but smile, and immediately rushed forward with a Damascus knife, and with some effort, he finally smashed the toad's head.
Although when he returned, he was ridiculed by Achia again.
But the satisfaction of killing the giant made him ignore Aca's taunts.
Emiya rubbed his temples and said, "Next time, I suggest that you go around behind the toad and attack, and don't confront the toad head-on. β
Although this thing can be killed by at least a slightly experienced adventurer, Kazuma Sato is not a slightly experienced adventurer, but a complete novice.
The first time I went into battle, I was face-to-face with a giant toad, which was really irrational.
"I, I see." Kazuma Sato nodded.
The next group of three people moved, and soon found the second one, the third giant toad, and the two were together.
Emiya said, "The one on the left will be handed over to you, and the one on the right will be handed over to me." β
Kazuma Sato gestured with his fingers in an OK pose, "Leave it to me." β
It was probably the first victory that gave him full confidence, so the second time Kazuma Sato appeared more calm, sneakily rushed forward, and charged the giant toad from behind.
Although the process was a bit of a fuss, the result was okay, Kazuma Sato finally killed a giant toad, and his progress was very fast, which is simply different from the situation in the plot.
As for the other toad, when he was about to help his companion, he was crushed in the head by a speeding telekinetic bullet and died.
After that, Emiya and Kazuma Sato continue to search for the giant toad.
They were tasked with expelling five in three days, and now they have successfully killed three, and as long as they kill two, they can complete the task ahead of schedule.
So Kazuma Sato can be said to be full of energy.
After that, everyone found the fourth giant toad, and just as Kazuma Sato was about to rush forward, Akya suddenly stretched out her hand and stopped Kazuma Sato.
"Wait."
"What are you doing?" Kazuma Sato asked inexplicably.
Emiya looked at Akya's eager expression, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Akeya said proudly: "It's just that I knocked down a few toads and it's such a stinky fart, now it's time for you to see the power of the goddess." β
Emiya subconsciously refused, "Don't do it, Akeya, we're here to exercise Kazuma Sato today." β
He couldn't bear to have Akea go and give away someone's head.
Kazuma Sato didn't want Akeya to steal the limelight from him, and nodded in agreement.
But Akya didn't listen to Emiya and Sato Kazuma's persuasion, and strode towards the giant toad, narrowing the distance between herself and the toad, and following the momentum of rushing out, she raised her fist with white light and hit the toad's abdomen.
"Let you see the power of God! How dare you stand in my way, how dare you be an enemy of God! I'm going to make you regret and repent for it in hell! Divine Light Fist! β
Kazuma Sato said with a confused expression, "I remember the counter lady said that strike attacks are useless against giant toads." β
As soon as Emiya raised his hand, the hand of telekinesis roared out, and a second before the giant toad swallowed Akeya, Akya was dragged back. Although even if the giant toad swallows Achia in one gulp, it is impossible to digest Akeya, it is undeniable that the slime of the giant toad is really stinky.
He really didn't want to return to Axel with a stinking goddess.
Because it's going to attract a certain Knight of the Cross.
If Emiya is an S, then he would love to do so, so as to attract Daknis, and then let her join his team, and finally use her M character to turn her into his own hot weapon.
After all, Daknis is also a pretty beauty.
What's more, she is a cross knight known for her defensive power, and she can't play any of them.
It's a pity that Wei Gong is not a ghost animal, so he can only try his best to avoid this big pit.
Looking at the goddess with palpitations on her face, Kazuma Sato said with a disgusted face: "It's worthy of Lord Akeya, it's useless as always, now you can stay here honestly and watch Uncle Ben's performance." β
Without waiting for Arcea to refute, she rushed towards the giant toad.
All that was left was the goddess with a face that was about to come out.
In the end, with the active activity of Kazuma Sato, Emiya's party completed the task of defeating five giant toads in only one day.
Then, Emiya lifted the five monsters with his telekinesis and returned all the way back to the Adventurer's Guild.
While the Adventurer's Guild also has transportation services, these services are paid for.
Wei Gong used his mental power to carry the giant toad back, not only to save money, but also to exercise his mental power, killing two birds with one stone, why not.
β¦β¦
"Cheers!"
Inside the Adventurer's Guild, Emiya raised the cup in his hand and collided with the cups of Akya and Kazuma Sato, and the three of them drank happily with delicious drinks.
It was time for the three of them to celebrate, and in front of them was the crispy fried toad leg meat, the raw material of which was the giant toad that Emiya's party had just defeated.
Although the meat of the giant toad is on the hard side, it has a light and refreshing taste, and it is a very popular ingredient.
After Emiya took a bite, he fell in love with this food.
Not only is it very delicious, but it also increases experience points, which is simply amazing in this world.
After the five flavors of the dish, Sato Kazuma laughed and said, "See, Uncle Ben is active today, although there were some big failures at the beginning, but then it became smooth, and now I should be a qualified adventurer." β
Akya said with an unhappy face: "It's just a dead house, how can you be so majestic without the help of the Wei Palace." β
Kazuma Sato nodded and said, "I admit that Emiya-san has helped me a lot, but compared to a certain goddess who eats white food, I think I am simply too great." β
"Mmmmmm......" Akya was speechless, biting the handkerchief in her hand, and staring at Kazuma Sato viciously.
But Kazuma Sato disagreed.
He felt that he had seen through this goddess, and it was even more useless than he imagined, because it was useless, so the reverence for the goddess had completely disappeared.
"Emiya-san, what mission do we take tomorrow?"
"Just like today, giant toad."
"Hey, is it still a giant toad?" Kazuma Sato looked a little reluctant.
Emiya took a serious look at him, and felt that Kazuma Sato seemed to be a little drifting because of today's victory, so he simply asked, "Who else do you think you can fight besides the giant toad?" β
Kazuma Sato asked tentatively, "Goblins?" β
As one of the classic monsters in the fantasy world, this world naturally has goblins, but ......
"If I'm not mistaken, goblins are group monsters, often a dozen, dozens of them go out together, are you sure that with your own strength, you can get a dozen goblins with weapons in hand?"
Emiya asked rhetorically.
Although Kazuma Sato was a little floating, he couldn't help but shudder at the thought of facing a dozen goblins with weapons in hand.
"I think we'd better keep fighting the giant toad."
Wei Gong nodded and said, "Fight the toad first, and then go to the goblin after we have advanced a few levels and learned some skills, I believe it will be much easier by then." β
