Chapter 126
Ch . 126 Ruler of Paradise
A small mysterious lake, located in the middle of the desert . There is also enough space for me to take two baths at the same time if I were to squeeze in tightly . But I won’t do that since the effects of [[Dragon Scales]] will spread .
Even though the water is crystal clear clean water, it will be ruined if I go in .
I am unclean .
Many colorful plants are blooming around the lake . My mind becomes clear just by looking at it .
Is it just me, or is this an oasis?
I wonder if there are water veins passing underground . Actually, I don’t really understand much about this world . There could even be a crystal at the bottom of the lake where all the water comes from for all I know .
As I approached, my [[Presence Sense]] began to react .
There must already be an occupant .
I was surprised but it doesn’t seem like a bad guy…I thought as I watched the lake…then something got up from the flower garden .
I didn’t notice it at first since it looks like a rock . Is it a huge slug?
Its body surface was slimy, with a green that was close to black which made it look eerie . Compared with the gorgeous oasis, it’s a little out of place . It’s also vandalizing the flowers by eating them from the roots .
To even eat the soil .
Not even the ball rabbit is that gluttonous .
Other than that, I cant feel much danger . Even if there was it’s so small and weak that it’s not enough to mind . It’s not very appetizing, but if I want to make a base here I will have to eliminate it .
I can’t tell how strong it is from this distance, but it’s about the same size as that cactus monster . At that size it will be difficult to fight with the ball rabbit and Nina around .
I bend down and let Nina and the ball rabbit get off before reaching the lake . I’ll leave Nina’s bodyguard duty to you for a moment ball rabbit .
The huge slug noticed me and trembled as its two antenna pointed towards me .
I stand in the space between the flower garden and the desert to confront the huge slug .

C’mon, this isn’t a C rank monster .
Despite how it looks, its speed is high, and it also has a Lv5 [[Mirage]] that I hate .
Its stats are also about where the Little Rock Dragon was .
I was able to win then, and my Lv’s increased since then . Ill also be able to take a few hits from it head on easily .
I can’t have this oasis without taking it down, let’s take it out for the ball rabbit and Nina!
Leaving the ball rabbit behind was the right answer . It can’t compete with monsters of this rank just yet .
Alright, gather myself, concentrate!
[[Presence Sense]] is already always on as an early alarm . I will use it to deal with [[Mirage]] or the battle will drag on . There’s a status difference so I want to solve this as quickly as I can .
I stepped into the flower garden and closed the distance to the huge slug immediately . The huge slug lifts its upper body to intimidate me .
“Shaaaaa!”josei
The slugs large body folds and divides into two . It doesn’t have that kind of skill, but I do know what it does have!
The right side is an imposter, and the left one is just an afterimage . Unfortunately for you big slug, [[Presence Sense]] tells me exactly where you are .
I zone out my eyes and put my focus on my senses instead . My field of vision fluctuated and the big slug on the right disappeared .
[Resistant Skill [[Illusion Resistance: Lv1]] was obtained]
Alright, I got a new resistance skill . I can win if it’s like this .
I put strength into my feet, kick the ground and fly low .
I swing my hand in the air and hit the head of the big slug with my claws . The heavy claws stabbed into the big slugs body . Putting strength into my fingers, and gouge out the flesh .
“Ajaaaaaaasu!”
Guts and body fluids splatter and the big slug screams in pain . I go through the right side of the big slug due to the momentum .
Pieces of flesh from the big slug is left in my nails, so I shake it off making it scatter around .
I landed while turning my body, and looked back towards the big slug . Bodily fluids were spilling out of the big slugs left belly .
I made a mistake .
I was planning to strike from the front, but my aim shifted slightly due to the [[Mirage]] .
Even if I could tell it was a mirage I have a habit of always judging by the eyes .
Would it be better if I fought with my eyes closed? No, that wasn’t really the problem this time……
Although its HP is pretty high, I thought since its defense isn’t quite up there I will be able to settle the matter with one decisive blow .
Even though the hit was sufficiently fatal, the flesh is already growing back .
[[Self-Recovery]] skill .
Its [[Automatic MP Recovery]] skill Lv is also high, so it prolongs its use of skills .
The tips of the big slugs two antenna form a point and aim towards me . I don’t really want to know what it squeezes out… . No, I’m sorry but it is unpleasant .
I’m a little wary of its offensive power since I just interacted with it . It doesn’t look like it has a particularly dangerous skill, but it’s pretty quick so I just have to be careful there .
I should also increase my [[Presence Sense]] to ward off [[Mirage]] .
I don’t know whether any of my breath techniques will work, but I could at least draw its attention . Also my MP is not at its best after the match with the needle camel . But if I use a feint then hit it with an attack I should be able to suppress my MP consumption .
Ill kill it with the next blow .
At the same time I was preparing to jump again the big slug began to spout liquid from its mouth . It is a viscous translucent liquid .
It doesn’t plan to hit me, instead its scattering it around me .
What are you doing?
Play on the Spanish word amargar, or in English: embitter
Embitter: To cause someone to feel bitter or resentful .
