Master Of None-Chapter 1593 1593. Purple Bank Frogs

"Alice, a little help here!" Gil was the first to recognize the purple bank frogs after Alice and Walker had caught themselves in battle with one. He had seen it being broken down at the adventurer's guild once. This experience gave him the knowledge that it was poisonous without anyone having to tell him in the moment.

Therefore, Gil was calling for Alice since she had the skills to purify those that got poisoned by it."There are two elves here that need to be purified for the poison." Gil knew that if he called Remey she had some antidote potions. However, it was better to save those for the more dangerous poisons they may encounter while traveling the river bank. Water brought out many different monsters.

"Good call Gil!" Walker managed to grab Alice and step over the river to the opposite side where Gil was. She quickly got to work healing as Gil and Walker touched base on what they would do about the purple bank frogs.

"These things seem like they are more and more prevalent as we go. I would say it's breeding season for them. I wish we had discovered this sooner. It will make the journey slower." As much as they wanted to rush through the river, they were the first ship heading down this path. They had to do their best to make it safer. But Walker was still unsure if they had missed this information because they were too rushed to deal with the demon king.

"Walker, the ship is pretty far back because of all the rocks and trees in the river. We have some time to deal with these monsters safely. Rise and Mordant won't help with them since they are preparing for the large monsters in the ocean. Let's just use this as training."

"You're right." Walker knew Gil had a good point. But he felt that they needed to get to the ocean faster. Everything had to be done faster. They needed to get stronger faster. He had to push them faster. This train of thought was enough to shock him slightly. Walker could not remember when everything became about getting things done faster.

"Face it, if we don't slow down we will get beat by Midnight and Onyx. they have already taken down six each." Gil pointed out Midnight and Onyx working as a pair a little further up the riverbank. They were currently engaged in battle with a larger purple bank frog, an older purple bank frog.

The size that onyx revealed was easily five feet longer than what he had been the last time he revealed his true size from his shadow. It was clear that his training had been paying off and that he may have gone through a whole new growth spurt without realizing it. He had been kept very busy by the little hatchlings that he had nearly forgotten about himself. Walker had even brought that right to the front of his mind.

The darkness and the light seemed to be at Onyx's control. The light was less so than the darkness but that was enough for him to blind the purple bank frogs in a flash of light before using a shadow spike attached to his tail to pierce them. This effectively protected him from any poisons along with also defeating the purple bank frog.

Midnight had taken a different route. Due to her training with flying, elemental breath attacks, and guidance for Rise, she had decided to fight only from a distance. Since it was a short distance away, the purple bank frogs were able to shoot out their tongues to attack Midnight. The danger of poison was fresh in her mind.

Luckily, Midnight was prepared. She would jump back or duck under the tongue as it whipped out. The purple bank frogs had nothing they could do in the face of Midnight's agility. This gave Midnight the time to take quick deep breaths and breath our blasts of fire or light toward the frogs.

It had been tough for Midnight to keep consistent strength in breath attacks. This was because it needed more time to absorb elemental mana and fuse them with her golden heart flames. But while she did so, she had been able to train her speed at absorbing small amounts of the mana and efficiently fusing it with the flames. This had partially been her training with Rise but also what she had learned from Walker fusing elemental manas together.

"And there goes another frog. Midnight has really started to like using that elemental flame burst skill. I guess every dragon can do it because it's easier for younger dragons. But Midnight learned to breathe flames before she learned that since she didn't have a proper teacher. Now we get to see her backtrack a little." Even the skill that midnight had learned later than she should have was much stronger because of how she had already trained.

"She definitely filled in the gaps of her training. I just think that you are better off training with her than I am with my arrows. She would burn too many up." Gil laughed a little as he raised his bow, his eyes focused well ahead of where Onyx and Midnight were. "Let's catch up with them. There are a few crawling out of a hole by that hill there."

The sight that Gil had still exceeded, if not became better, while he had trained with the elves. An archer's eyes were always the main focus of their skills but Gil had already exceeded that with his skills in other aspects of arcane archery. His arrow easily sailed through the air and pierced through two of the purple bank frogs scraping their way out of the ground.

"A den? Let me get Su and Remey, we can clear that before any of the others need to get involved." A quick shout to Remey and Su who were back a little further spurred them to run up to Walker and Gil. Midnight and Onyx were also privy to what Gil had just pointed out now that they had handled the two purple frogs in front of them.

"Poison frogs, that is not good." Remey looked like she was more excited for the battle than the others. She could harvest the poison from the frogs to make some form of potion. She wasn't exactly sure what it would be but she knew it could be useful in some way.

"They move very quickly from what I can see. There are already seven that have crawled from that hole up there." Su was taking notice of the situation and doing her best to strategize. She had to remain sharp if she wanted to be able to block every attack that carried poison toward her party. "But they are getting smaller. Could that be the youngest of the frogs emerging for the first time?"

"That has to be it! They must have been born and raised in that den now they are coming out for food." Gil caught on that Su had perfectly picked out the reason for so many purple bank frogs being right in front of them.

"And we are that food. Let's work to clear that out." Walker started to gather water elemental mana and freeze it. He had seen how Onyx had used the shadows to cover his body and protect him from the poison of the frogs. Now he wanted to do something similar.

The ice that began to coat Walker in a thin layer moved easily with his manipulation. But taking another step further, he looked at Midnight's claws and decided to take inspiration. The ice began to elongate on to larger claws that cover Walker's hands. He had not considered doing this small portion of the elemental dragon aspect, but since water and ice were the easiest for him to shape other than earth, he might as well.

"Brother!" Midnight growled out slightly seeing that Walker was clearly trying to challenge her to a test of close combat strength. She was not going to let him make his own claws and beast her. She was a real dragon with real claws. She was jealous that Walker could just make his own. In a single breath of flames, Midnight's claws were wrapped in fire. Her flaming claws reaching out for the frogs as she and Midnight sprinted toward their targets.

"Well, we can't be left behind. Gil and them might beat them all before we even get to the den entrance." Remey cracked her knuckles and matched Su in stride. They were right behind Midnight and Walker.

"I will guard you Gil. Take your time." Onyx respected that Gil was already picking targets to shoot at long distance. Someone needed to hand back and be his guard. It was only proper.
