Even though the appearance was cute, this chubby frog had a powerful poison inside his belly that could be released at any moment. Hence, he couldn't underestimate it.
He raised the sword in his right hand and covered it with Magic Power.
The flying frog's cheek also bloated as if it was prepared to spit out something.
The moment Theo had a slight movement, the flying frog released its slimy tongue.
Theo used his Ring of Honor to create a shield that could withstand the frog's tongue.
"Bam!"
The clash produced a weak shock wave, and the tongue somehow cracked the shield.
"…" Theo squinted his eyes, knowing he had underestimated this frog. This monster might have a powerful strength behind his poison.
And from how he acted, the frog didn't seem to be a Normal Class Monster. Instead, the frog should have some intelligence in his brain.
Even for Theo, fighting such a monster would be a hard task, especially since there was at least a fifty level gap between them.
After blocking the frog's tongue, Theo moved to the side and slashed his sword.
The Magic Power in his sword flew forward and split into four to surround the flying frog. But this time, Theo had prepared an even more advanced technique.
After using a sword for some time, Theo had grown accustomed to wielding one. So, he had a replacement for his Magic Bullets.
As soon as the first sword light left his sword, he gathered the Magic Power into his sword again before slashing his sword forward, releasing the second light.
In the end, Theo released ten of them in succession and split each light into four.
The frog needed to avoid all these forty lights. They might not be as strong as Theo's usual sword light, but the number easily overpowered Theo's previous technique.
Knowing it would be bad if he got hit by all these sword lights, the flying frog stopped in his tracks and gathered the poison in his mouth.
Right before the sword lights reached him, he spat the poison in all directions.
The poison created a kind of a net without any hole and caught the majority of Theo's sword lights. Upon contact, the extraordinary poison melted the sword lights until nothing remained.
As for the rest, the frog simply created a barrier to protect himself.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
The sword lights hit him in succession, but the shield survived without even a scratch.
"Really?" Theo's expression became serious as he followed his attack with another. This time, Theo came closer to the frog and swung his sword, sending a crescent-shaped energy wave forward.
This sharp energy had the power to cut the frog in half, but the latter simply leaped to the side as though it could stand in the air.
With that initial bonus speed as well as the help of the wings, the frog felt like he had disappeared for a second.
"…" Theo frowned and summoned his clone.
Although he wanted to fight the frog with the human form, Theo couldn't easily show the clone. So, Clone Theo used the Metamorphosis and turned into an eagle.
Eagle Theo soared to the sky while the frog raised his head, seeing this eagle as his prey.
"Where do you think you're looking at?" Theo sent himself to the top of the frog's head with his Blink and covered his sword with Magic Augmentation and Magic Power Expansion.
"!!!" The frog was surprised and instinctively erected a spherical barrier to block the sword, albeit Theo's sword was too strong.
His Magic Power Expansion cracked the barrier, and with the help of the additional boost from the Magic Augmentation, the sword shattered the barrier into pieces.
When it was about to slice the frog, the latter formed another barrier. It was small and brittle, but the frog erected this one simply to stop the sword for a second.
Using that gap, the frog gathered the momentum he needed and launched himself to the ground.
"Bam!"
The frog crashed to the ground and immediately stood up without an injury.
"Tsk. It can do that too…" Theo narrowed his eyes. The frog's intelligence might not be as low as he thought.
Not wanting to give a chance to the frog, Theo summoned his Magic Bullets and rained him down with all these attacks.
The frog widened its eyes and opened its mouth, shocked. A small spherical barrier appeared, barely protecting the frog.
"…" The frog didn't know what to do right now. He tried to check his surroundings, but nothing could be used to escape from this place.
Theo seemed to be far stronger than him to the point he couldn't even fight back this whole time.
"Time to step up my game." Theo took a deep breath as his expression turned serious. He wanted to end this fight in this exchange, so he poured a lot of Magic Power into his sword.
The frog also felt the fluctuation and started to be wary of Theo's sword.
The moment Theo flew forward, the frog extended the tongue to strike him.
Because of the speed, Theo received the tongue with his sword, albeit the strength was a bit more powerful than his grip, and the tongue knocked the sword away and hit Theo in the stomach.
The frog thought this was a chance to deliver the killing blow, but Theo's body suddenly disappeared, showing he wasn't real.
As for the real him, it was the eagle. When he summoned the eagle, it was actually his real body. Theo just showed the illusion that he summoned an eagle while switching places with his clone.
Theo returned to his original appearance behind the frog and sliced him from the top. Even his sword was extended by the Magic Power to remove the frog's head.
He wanted to slice the frog into two, but he realized he shouldn't do that since the Star Group wanted to harvest the frog. Hence, he only cut the head to kill it.
"Tsk. To think a frog gave me all this trouble.." Theo shook his head helplessly, never expecting the frog to be this strong even though he only fought one of them.
