Fantasy Lord: I Have a Moving Castle-Chapter 106 - 48: Green Lotus Frog, Uprising in the Land of Undead

As dusk fell, a brilliant blaze of Prayer Light shot out from the carriage, piercing the air, while the Lotus Leaf Frog still looked dazed.

Finally, the Prayer Light landed on the Lotus Leaf Frog, whose aura and figure began to swell dramatically, stopping only when it had grown taller than a man.

As the light faded, the transformed Lotus Leaf Frog revealed a whole new appearance.

Its skin maintained a water-blue hue, cool and moist, as if it had been molded from glass, and it had grown significantly bulkier compared to before.

Though the Lotus Leaf Frog looked chubby, it could still leap quickly.

Char thought it was slow only when compared to the Thunder Night Dragon and others.

Those either could fly, like the Star Worm and Fierce Sword Firefly,

or were inherently very good at running, like the Frost Crystal White Deer and Floral Blue Leopard.

Compared to these Demon Beasts, the Lotus Leaf Frog was naturally slow.

However, in reality, it wasn’t slow-moving; it was just that its often dazed appearance easily created a false impression.

But now, after its evolution, the Lotus Leaf Frog, with its significantly enlarged and bulkier body, sat squatting with an air of a plump Maitreya.

The vibrant green lotus leaf on its back had vanished, replaced by a Red Lotus held between its hands. At times, the Red Lotus lay in the "Lotus Leaf Frog’s" palms; at others, it rose into the air of its own accord, circled the upper half of the "Lotus Leaf Frog," and then returned to the palms.

In that moment, faintly glowing green lotus leaves and pink lotus blossoms sprouted next to "Lotus Leaf Frog’s" feet, swiftly morphing into a small patch of ethereal lotus pond.

The blue giant frog nestled in the lotus pond, the shimmering leaves, and blossoms swaying with the wind, framing the frog in a scene reminiscent of a summery wilderness.

[Green Lotus Frog]

[Skills]: Lotus Pond Frog Chirp (Level 4), Water Frog Clone (Level 3), Water Stream Whip (Level 3)

[Challenge Level]: 7

[Introduction]: The Green Lotus Frog prefers stillness over movement, but this doesn’t mean it lacks formidable battle power. Even just sitting still, it can unleash fierce attacks on any enemy who thinks it’s sluggish and easy to bully, using skills like "Water Frog Clone" and "Water Stream Whip." Of course, the Green Lotus Frog is most prized for its powerful protective abilities.

Char’s expression was joyful, feeling happy for both himself and the Lotus Leaf Frog.

He was already very familiar with the abilities of the Green Lotus Frog; he didn’t need to specifically check each skill.

The "Water Frog Clone" skill allows it to conjure many water frogs made entirely of water.

These water frogs move swiftly, can rush far to strike enemies, and effectively compensate for the Green Lotus Frog’s slow movement, lack of long-range attack capabilities, and pursuit abilities.

Then there’s "Water Stream Whip", a skill that can create one or more water whips. Under the Green Lotus Frog’s control, it delivers decisive blows to nearby enemies, serving as a mid-to-long-range attack skill.

Both skills are quite good, but Char valued the "Lotus Pond Frog Chirp" skill the most.

This skill, at first glance, might seem like a sound-based attack skill. However, in reality, it is a highly practical defensive skill.

Once activated, an illusionary lotus pond appears around it, and with a croak, a massive water frog emerges from the water to swallow a person whole, then submerge back beneath the pond’s surface.

For an enemy’s attack to hit, they must penetrate through the pond, which boasts very strong defense abilities.

With the strength of the Green Lotus Frog, after triggering "Lotus Pond Frog Chirp", even a Demon Beast of Challenge Level 8 would have trouble breaking through the defense, let alone a Challenge Level 7 Demon Beast, which would take even longer, with some possibly not even finding a way to breach the pond.

"Lotus Pond Frog Chirp" not only excels in protection but also can be applied to targets other than its own, meaning the Green Lotus Frog could also envelop Char with "Lotus Pond Frog Chirp".

This was of great significance to Char. He had always been keenly aware that he was the group’s biggest vulnerability, which is why after he became a Natural Prophet, he first learned "Crystal Position" and "Natural Premonition".

The purpose was to enhance his own survivability, so he wouldn’t drag down the Thunder Night Dragon, Fierce Sword Firefly, nor the Praying Light Sword.

Now, with "Lotus Pond Frog Chirp", his ability to survive would be greatly enhanced again.

Not only would his own safety be greatly safeguarded, but the safety of those he held dear, like the Star Worm, Freyja, Betty, Auson, Clover Mantis, also would be greatly enhanced.

If anyone were in danger, they just needed the Green Lotus Frog to target them with "Lotus Pond Frog Chirp", which could delay until the Thunder Night Dragon, Fierce Sword Firefly, Praying Light Sword, and others arrived to help.

The only drawback of "Lotus Pond Frog Chirp" is that once the protected target is swallowed beneath the water, they cannot move, only wait passively for rescue.

Besides, the Green Lotus Frog had a hidden ability: the lotus seeds produced by the Red Lotus in its hands had a strong effect in dispelling negative states, particularly those caused by Fire Attribute attacks, nearly to the extent of being miraculous cures.

Beyond dispelling negative states, consuming the lotus seeds also purified the body and enhanced constitutions.

In essence, the lotus seeds were a super-enhanced version of the Lotus Leaf Spring.

Having gained a combatant of Challenge Level 7, not only was Char pleased, but so were all the sentient beings present.
