NOVEL NEXT Chapter 46: (2)
Jeff and Max couldn’t leave them behind. Besides, even in the face of a desperate situation, Kaiyan had confidence in his ability to escape.
“Well, first of all, what should we do about that? It seems like the knights are quite exhausted.”
As Max said, the movements of the knights seemed a bit sluggish. They were sweating profusely.
Even when they were slaughtering the large monsters in the Gami-an, the knights didn’t break a sweat.
“Is there really no other way…?”
Kaiyan looked around, searching for something that could be immediately helpful, but all he saw were the smaller corpses of the Frogspawn.
“Nothing… Frogspawn?”
Suddenly, a good idea crossed his mind.
“Max, how strong do you think the thorns of the Frogspawn are?”
“All of a sudden? Hm… I guess they’re similar to forged weapons like my shield has some dents from them.”
If they were that sturdy, the idea that came to mind was just perfect.
“There is a way to take down that creature. I need your help, Uncles.”
“Kaiyan, do you really have a way?”
“How are you going to bring down that giant creature?”
Ignoring the uncles’ questions, Kaiyan lifted up the closest small corpse of the Frogspawn.
“Exactly this. We’ll use the Frogspawn.”
“…?”
The uncles looked puzzled, but that wasn’t important at the moment.
“Carry as many as you can.”
With those words, Kaiyan picked up a Frogspawn corpse in each hand and started walking slowly toward where the knights and the turtle-like monster were fighting.
“The creature’s primary attack is biting and crushing. Its most frequently used attack is biting.”
Even though it had four legs, in order to support its massive body, all four had to be on the ground, so most of its attacks involved using its long neck to bite.
“The outer shell can withstand even the knights’ strikes to some extent. But… what about the inside?”
No matter how tough a monster’s exterior may be, there are always vulnerabilities.
Even the Giant Ent, known for its toughness during the Gami-an battlefield, had a mushy interior made of a soft substance.
“Kre-e-eek!”
As Kaiyan cautiously approached the creature, he could feel an intense fight.
Kwaaang!
“… Huh? Aren’t you Kaiyan?”
One of the knights, who had evaded the creature’s powerful attack and moved towards Kaiyan, finally recognized and pretended to know him.
“Ah, Sir Knight. Nice to see you again.”
He was the youngest-looking knight among Tarien’s knights. Kaiyan didn’t know his name.
He only remembered that he fought with him on the first day, alongside the knights, as part of a joint effort.
“I was wondering who dealt with the Frogspawn corpses, and it turns out you were with Centurion Jeff.”
“That’s correct. Well, that’s not important right now. Let’s deal with this creature first.”
“Sigh… Its outer shell is too tough. It won’t be easy. You should step back.”
‘…I didn’t expect that.’
Kaiyan thought he would immediately ask for help, but it was quite unexpected.
Except for the senior knights, most of the knights, including this one, had an underlying disregard for the lives of common soldiers. If it were someone else, they would have dismissed and ignored Kaiyan as a nuisance.
“Well… I have to help them properly.”
Whether it was because he was still young or if it was his natural disposition, this young knight showed a different side.
His attitude was pleasing to the eye.
“Sir Knight, I have a way.”
“Hmm? What are you talking about?”
“A way to bring down that giant creature.”
“…Is that really possible?”
The young knight looked skeptical as he looked back and forth between Kaiyan and the creature.
Given the way Kaiyan demonstrated his abilities while serving in the 7th Special unit, it was natural for him to show such skepticism. If not, he would have dismissed my words as nonsense and ignored me.
“Since we’re in a hurry, can you briefly explain the method?”
“Well… Do you know what this is?”
“That… is it a Frogspawn?”
As Kaiyan held up the Frogspawn corpse in his hands, the young knight looked at Kaiyan with a strange expression and asked.
“I’m going to put this into the creature’s mouth. The thorns of the Frogspawn are quite sturdy and sharp.”
“That? Huh… But how?”
“Do you remember what the creature’s primary attack method is?”
“Ah…!”
Finally understanding Kaiyan’s words, the young knight nodded and his eyes lit up.
“Can you do it right away?”
“Of course. While the knights engage the creature, I will feed it the Frogspawn corpses.”
“I trust you!”
With those words, the young knight, who had regained some strength, rushed towards the monster again.
“Did you all hear that?”
“Well… we had to listen. But is it really possible?”
“How are you going to throw that?”
Jeff and Max, who had been quietly listening from behind, asked with curiosity, but now was not the time to explain one thing at a time.
“I will take care of that. Uncles, just bring the Frogspawn corpses over to me.”
“Got it. That’s all we need to do.”
‘Let’s get started. Breath Control, focus.’
Breath Control Skill: Accuracy increased by 20 percent.
Now was the time for that effect to shine.
“Huup…!”
Kwaaak.
Kaiyan tightly grasped the smooth arm of the Frogspawn with both hands, concentrating.
The time the creature takes to open its mouth for an attack is at least two seconds.
Considering the time it takes for the corpse to reach its mouth, Kaiyan had to anticipate that it would open its mouth and throw it in.
‘If it were someone else…’
“Kre-e-eek!”
With the creature’s roar, a strong sense of danger resonated.
Instinctively, Kaiyan knew what kind of attack the creature was going to use next.
“Now! Ha-a-ap!”
Booong!
“Kre-e…!”
As the corpse of the Frogspawn went straight into the creature’s wide-open mouth.
“Kururuk… Kre-eek!”
Kwaaang! Kwang!
The creature, which had easily withstood the knights’ attacks, started thrashing around in agony.
All that from just inserting a Frogspawn corpse into its throat.
“Well… it’s more effective than I expected.”
Max, who was surprised and in the middle of moving the Frogspawn corpses, stood still and exclaimed.
“That’s right. The effect is better than I anticipated. There’s no need to throw many of them, right?”
“Kukk, anyway, your scheming mind is truly remarkable.”
