Chapter 39 - Lava Frogs

"Whoosh!"

As Kadyn jumped from boulder to boulder, a creature lunged at him from the left side. He was caught unprepared and was shocked by this sudden attack. He somehow twisted his body and avoided the bashing and forced himself to descend on the boulder, avoiding the blazing lava and the creature that assaulted him.

Before that monster faded into lava, Kadyn glimpsed how it looked—it seemed like a frog, Red, with a long tongue, lava dripping off its body. Kadyn had no idea what that thing was, or if it could harm him or not. So he proceeded forward with utmost caution.

"Tarrr tarrr tarrr..."

Then he heard the sounds from all around him. He focused on his surrounding and gasped in shock. From inside, numerous heads were poking out and glaring at him with their beady eyes.

"Damn, they really looked frogs but lives in lava." He cursed and jumped on another boulder, trying to leave this place as soon as possible. At this moment, the frogs inside started to hop and one by one attacked him, bouncing out of the lava reaching him in no time.

Kadyn ducked and dodged and halted and jumped, and somehow he managed to avoid their attacks. When they neared him their tongues stretched out of their mouths like elastic, trying to touch him. But Kadyn had seen the first frog doing this, and he was already prepared. After he continued to dash out of the lava.

But this tactic started to lose its effect after some time as more and more frogs lunged at him, without giving him time to get ready.

"Fuck, what kind of creatures are these?" he cursed, and a lightning pattern appeared under his feet. The purple thunder covered both of his hands. Kadyn felt a tingle over his fist. But he had no time to care about it.

Thunder Fist!

"Bang!"

He punched with both fists in irritation and green blood-spattered. Kadyn avoided touching the liquid. Who knew if it would corrode his muscles and turn him into a mummy? He had seen too many movies to do something stupid.

Once more thunder flashed over his fist and two more frogs faded into the bloody mist—Kadyn looked around and found that the creatures had stopped their assault. He thought they had been intimidated by his great power. He slaughtered their four companions as easily as a chicken. However, he felt something amiss as they refused to retreat either. They just stared at him from the lava, as if waiting for something.

Kadyn seemed confused at their behaviour. After all, they didn't appear to be intelligent creatures. At the scent of blood of their companions, they should have gone berserk, but here they are, glaring at him and doing nothing.

"TARRRR!"

Kadyn heard the same weird sound, but louder than before. He peered in the distance and saw a huge boulder, moving in his direction. Before he could assemble his thoughts, the boulder sprang out of the lava, splashing it all around—Kadyn saw this scene and his mouth hung open. He was thunderstruck at the sight of this gigantic creature.

FROG! Other frogs looked minions in front of this gigantic beast. It was Frog King!

So this was commanding his minions all this time. Kadyn thought.

He wasted no time and bolted towards the volcano. "Damn, my luck is really shitty. I have just arrived and already stumbled upon a group of these strange creatures!"

"Tarrr tarrr tarrr…"

The Lava Frogs started to chase after him, braying and flogging, showing their confidence in their king. The Frog King hopped from boulder to boulder, pursuing Kadyn. Every jump caused enormous splashes on the lava.

"TARRRR…"

When it brayed, the fire breath came out of its mouth with the tongue. Kadyn felt a chill run down on his back and he padded his legs faster than ever. He feared that he might piss his pants due to fear. After all he was human, not a god, fearing something was normal.

"Just a bit more!" Kadyn saw the ground not far away from him and headed forwards with all his might. The frog was just behind him, leaping in his direction and trying to catch him. It was just seven-eight meters behind him. Kadyn could feel the frog trailing at his back. He felt vipers crawling over his neck, sprinting even faster.

When Kadyn was just two meters away from the ground, he turned around to take a look at the Frog King. A terrible mistake.

"Boom!"

The creature was just behind him, and when he turned around, his speed slowed down and the frog reached him. Before Kadyn could understand the situation he was in, the Frog King hopped out of the lava and slammed into him. Kadyn panicked as there was no time or space to dodge or crouch such a gigantic creature. It was around the side of a bull. In a panic he activated his lightning pattern and punched with all his strength.

"Bang!

The fist landed on the head of the frog and covered its entire body in lightning. The frog screeched in agony, but like other frogs, it didn't explode. Instead, after a brief period, the frog leaped and slammed into Kadyn, sending him sprawling. He coughed a mouthful of blood and smashed over ten meters away.

"Arghh," he groaned miserably and realised that he had reached the ground. Kadyn stood and dashed towards the opposite of the Frog without even giving a second glance at the creature. That thing was too dangerous. Not even eight-star lightning spells worked on it. As continued to rush he heard screeching and hooting from behind, as if mocking him for running away like a coward.

In front of him the ground was protruded and from afar it looked like hundreds of dunes of sand in the desert. But that wasn't the case; they were stones. Kadyn wiped the sweat off his temples and murmured. "Damn, this place is too dangerous."

However, his lips curled, and a smile blossomed over his face. He felt thrilled and excited like never before when he was trying to escape. Though it was dangerous and at some point, he felt his pants might become wet because of horror, but in the end, it was a stimulating and refreshing feeling.

I want to explore this world even further. He thought and wiped the blood from his mouth and headed even deeper. Eager to find the herb, so he could cure his stars.
