Chapter 248 - Attack!
Chapter 248 - Attack!
-----
The massive frog rested peacefully over the water. This millenary beast has been raising her single egg for hundreds of years by now. Her very race was that of incredibly long-lived creatures, and her age was immeasurable.
An egg of this species of mysterious giant frogs were very long-lived as well, they would take almost a five hundred years to hatch, this was because the little tadpole inside was developing its powers and whenever it were to be born, it would be as strong as a Great God, if not stronger.
However, in the egg, it was a defenseless creature, so the mother had to take care of it, groom it, and keep it safe from predators who wouldn't mind having such a tasty and essence-filled meal.
The world of Amphibi was filled with deadly beasts, and even Divine Beasts were not so rare in the vast oceans of this swamp planet. Above all, the frog mother had learned a big lesson before, as the prince of the frog-kin Kingdom had once snatched the egg from her…
Due to this, she became more aggressive and overprotective of the egg, even if she looked like she was resting, whenever she sensed the strong presence of someone approaching, she quickly began very defensive and would attack at sight. She would use her powers over water and more to fend away anyone, or sometimes if she found them to be tasty in terms of energy they had, she would swallow them, although she didn't ate everything unless very angered.
Because of this, the three Gods that had come to snatch her egg had prepared this special boat that camouflaged the energy it emanated, this way she wouldn't eb able to detect them easily.
Gehekakth, Laura, and Cutthroat were all working together for the same greedy goal of stealing the egg for their boss, which they were very devoted to. They wanted their boss to become as strong as a Supreme God, and by owning such a froggy, they would actually do it!
If someone tames a god, its naturally they would be as strong as a god as the tamed monster is part of your own strength, is it not? Then, if someone tamed a Supreme God-Level Beast such as this Frog, they would easily become as strong as Supreme God, if not even stronger based in how powerful this creature could become.
Of course, throwing themselves into the conflict would be no good, they would end up getting themselves killed in the process, which was no good at all. So they had to think about other methods or way of doing it.
They had already seen how this frog, this giant mama frog had once destroyed an entire energy-extracting plant and killed everyone inside too, so it was a dangerous creature that shouldn't be provoked. But how could they steal the egg it protected with all its soul if it wasn't provoked in the process? It was nonsensical!
Of course, there were some ways.
Distraction! How about distracting the beast so they can snatch the egg while it is attacking somewhere else?
Cutthroat smiled maliciously as he looked at the group of Gods including Abyss and the twin Saphibians. They were completely unaware that the frog would always react to those with a lot of divine power or energy on them.
"These idiots are going to make the work super easy, look at that."
Cutthroat pointed at Abyss who traveled over the water like a boat. She approached the frog and looked at it rather resentfully. She really wanted to kill this thing, but it was impossible to kill it for now… and she wanted to learn a way to get Chaos out of its stomach if possible.
However, would it be that easy? Of course not… due to that, she wanted to find a way with the Saphibians, who could know more about his frog's history and how they had dealt with it since they had been living at its side…
She had decided to travel over water in the form of a mass of black flesh while extending her tentacles down and catching prey for everyone to eat, over her body there was a big barbeque going on, while everyone was enjoying the grilled swamp fish, crabs, shrimps, and other crustaceans too. The two kids were filling their bellies a lot with these yummy preparations, and the group had gained their total favor by now.
"There it is, the frog again…" sighed Edward.
"It is sleeping? I guess we just ignore it for now then… I remember that Aruliel was the one that woke it up in some bizarre way." Said Natalia.
"Indeed, maybe it won't bother with us now that it was done fending us off…" said Belphegor.
"I don't know but I have a bad feeling about this-" muttered Abyss. And just as she thought, there was a bad feeling about it.
"RIBBIT!"
SPLASH!
Suddenly, the frog jumped out of the water, its entire aura emanating everywhere! It quickly noticed them and began to rush towards them while swimming angrily! Its mouth opened and began to gather water, firing a massive downpour at them!
SPLAAAAAASSSSSHHH!
Abyss quickly became a whole capsule, getting everyone inside of her body as she was thrown around with her elastic and slimy body, taking minimal damage this time around.
"CROACK! RIBBIT!" The angered frog continued to attack them as Abyss resisted the attacks as much as she possible could, while swimming away from it.
"Damn it! It's attacking us with no reason?!" asked Ifrit.
"Maybe it is actually territorial, and it wasn't just because of the dumb Aruliel?!" asked Lilith.
"So it attacks anyone that gets closer… this is really problematic! How can we even deal with such a creature properly?" asked Belphegor while sighing.
"I don't know but for now, we'll run! It can't do much to us, water is not really that strong if I am an elastic slime-like creature anyways! We'll get to the twins' village, and we'll find a way to save our lord!" said Abyss, she was filled with determination as she swam through!
