BXBX NOVEL Chapter 502 - The East Overlord I
Adrian has arrived in the east area of The Wilde. He managed to reach it in an hour using the three charges of his Blink skill. When he arrived at the border, a fight is currently occurring between two different monster races.
One of the monster races is that of a demon wolf but they are not as strong looking like his soulbound Sirius. The other monster race is a giant frog creature that seemed to possess some intelligence as they can fight with coordination.
-----
Monster: Giant Swamp Frog
Level: 170
Description: A type of frog monster that is said to be passive as long as they are not attacked. The Giant Swamp Frog is an evolve version of the Giant Frog that is said to have gained the water and earth elements. It uses mud as an extra layer of protection from both magical and physical attacks.
-----
Monster: Wise Frog
Level: 175
Description: An intelligent frog monster that has attained intelligence and a potency for powerful magic. It sacrificed its natural instincts in order to become twice as intelligent as a human being. It is said to be able to ascend to a very powerful existence when it unlocks all parts of its brain.
-----
The demon wolves fight in unison, but they have no clear chain of command. They are scattered but it seems that they have been fighting for a long time that their coordination is muscle memory. The giant swap frogs are being commanded by a toad that is standing upright with a fan in its left webbed hand.
Adrian observed the situation while hiding his presence because he knew that demon wolves have high detection ability. What Adrian did not know is that Sirius is masking his presence by coating him with a small layer of shadows. Since shadows are scentless, Adrian is basically invisible to the demon wolves as long as he does not show himself.
The demon wolves outnumber the Giant Swamp Frogs by two. There are currently twenty demon wolves while there are ten Giant Swamp Frogs and one Wise Frog. There are two Giant Swap Frogs protecting the Wise Frog as the demon wolves are focusing on the most intelligent enemy.
The Wise Frog mainly acted as support to the Giant Swamp Frogs. It would use things like turn the ground into a swamp to slow down the demon wolves or heal the Giant Swamp Frogs when they get severely injured.
The demon wolves knew that they will not win unless they kill the Wise Frog. It is easier said than done as the Giant Swamp Frogs protects the Wise Frogs with their own body if their mud walls cannot stop the demon wolves. The Wise Frog will the use that chance to use crowd control spells that will stun the demon wolves.
The Wise Frog waved its fan and a tidal wave made of muddy water is created. The attack successfully hit all the demon wolves and it even healed the Giant Swamp Frogs. The outnumbered Giant Swamp Frogs soon became offensive. Since the area is now all muddy, they are the one that are in control.
The Giant Swamp Frogs opened their mouth and launched their long tongues. Their tongues wrapped around the demon wolves, and they tried to pull them in their mouths. Th remaining demon wolves saved their pack members by either clawing or biting the tongue of the giant swamp frogs.
The tongues of the Giant Swamp Frogs seemed much more durable as the demon wolves did not cut it. The Giant Swamp Frogs retrieved their tongues back to their mouths. The demon wolves are now wary and waiting to see what the Giant Swamp Frogs will do as they are injured greatly.
One of the demon wolves howled and the other demon wolves howled with it. The demon wolves started to retreat as if they are testing the powers of the monsters in the east overlord\'s domain. Adrian could not let this chance go to waste as the demon wolves are below 40% health.
"The frogs are not chasing which means they suffered a loss when they made pursuit. Anyway, thanks for the experience points." Adrian stated as he summoned all his soulbounds.
Adrian then teleported himself and his soulbounds in front of the retreating demon wolves. The retreating demon wolves got shocked but what shocked them more is a demon wolf that looked different from them.
"Everyone…Attack!" Adrian commanded and his soulbounds let all hell unleash.
Charon trapped the demon wolves near it inside the coffin as twenty is still a big number. Dodu swallowed the nearest demon wolf which made the other fled in fear of being eaten. The realistic effect of a demon wolf getting disintegrated inside of Dodu is not a pleasant sight.
Saena supported Kanlaon as she fanned the flames and frost elements in the dragon\'s breath. Sirius looked even more determined than usual and used the shadows to pierce the demon wolves to death. No demon wolf managed to escape as Adrian would use Quantum Cascade to pull them back to the area in front of him.
The last demon wolf fell in battle and a series of notifications sounded about receiving experience points. Kimat managed to reach level 133 due to the immense experience points, but it still has the juvenile tag in its name. Adrian wondered if Kimat will ever mature as its attacks are not that powerful.
The Wise Frog, who saw what Adrian did, opened its eyes to see or peer to Adrian\'s motive. When Adrian went near the group of frogs, the Wise Frog told the Giant Swamp Frogs to not attack despite a demon wolf being with Adrian\'s group.
"Greetings! I am Equinox. I came to speak to the eastern overlord about an alliance. The princess of the fox clan has sent me." Adrian stated as he showed a trinket given to him by Ashana. Adrian did not know if the Wise Frog will answer him as it just stared at him for a minute.
"Come with me adventurer. It seems that my master has agreed to meet you." The Wise Frog replied as he led Adrian deeper in the swamp.
