Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just dont care. Hikigaya Hachiman

Btw, if you guys want, I can start doing a teaser thing for the next chapter. Im not going to do a poll so just leave a comment.

-30,

Being thrown at the ground Ling Chen lost a little HP, he did a roll upon landing on the ground steadying himself. Gripping Mind Saber in both hands and tightly clenching. The saber that struck its head dealing 34 damage. The Greedy Giant Toads head having slightly lower defense is only relative to the rest of its body, Ling Chens basic attack of 118 only dealt 34 damage, being reduced by nearly one quarter. but as long as he can penetrate its defense, then there is hope!!

Then, the only possibility of defeating it, is at every moment it spits out its tongue, instantly stepping on the giant tongue after dodging, allowing the tongue to bring him towards the head and attacking

This is the only possibility also making it impossible for regular players to accomplish. Dodging the attack of the barbed tongue is already incredibly difficult. Jumping onto the tongue right after dodging, jumping onto its head the moment before the tongue is completely retracted Among the process, if there is even a sliver of error, then he will be directly swallowed into the Greedy Giant Toads mouth or falling off, being trampled by the toad.

And it is exactly this attack strategy that normal players cannot even dream of accomplishing, that has become Ling Chens only chance of winning.

FWOOSH!!

The terrifying barbed tongue shooting out like an arrow, Ling Chens eyes narrowed into a thin slit, the barbed tongue shooting towards him as if suddenly becoming a lot slower in his eyes, its trajectory clearly visible to him

Jumping back to the side, the Greedy Giant Toads tongue tapping on the ground in front of him, only a hairs width away from the tip of his toe. At the short moment that the barbed tongue pauses, his body that had just touched the ground rapidly leaps forward, steadily landing on top of the tongue, firmly controlling his bodys balance, and then charging towards the giant toads head following the retraction of the tongue.

From that terrifying mouth is only the difference of one step, at this instant Ling Chen jumps upwards, landing precisely above the giant toads mouth, but not immediately attacking like last time, instead taking another step forward. jumping between its eyes, lifting Mind Saber, Full Power Strike cutting downwards.

-50, -51, MISS

Standing at the position between the Greedy Giant Toads eyes, with the obstacle of the left and right eyes, he rapidly attacked 3 times before being thrown off by the giant toad.

Landing on the ground Ling Chen once more lost some HP. He steadied his body, lifting his head, the corners of his lips forming a cold smile Just like this, I will point by point send you down to hell!!

My body, my spirit, my will you have to persist!!

I cannot die here!!

Croak!!!

Even though the damage dealt by Ling Chens two attack couldnt even be considered a scratch, it already made it enraged. Big green eyes releasing an even more violent light, its body pausing, two massive hind legs abruptly kicking at the ground

At this moment Ling Chens body subconsciously made a dodging movement, but, in the next moment, the Greedy Giant Toads shadow did not fall towards him, instead jumping highly on the spot, and then landing heavily back onto the ground.

Ling Chen: !!!

Ling Chens eyes tightly locked onto the giant toads falling body, one of its scariest skills flashing across his mind Stone Hail.

Right at the moment before the Greedy Giant Toads body is about to land on the ground, Ling Chen jumps up high.

SMASH!!

A heavy sound, the entire area starting to violently shake. The gravel and dust on the surrounding walls streaming downwards. When Ling Chen landed on the ground, the ground was still trembling, making him almost unable to stand steadily. If he hadnt jumped up on time, this attack would be more than enough to make him lose balance and fall down, even become dazed. Doing his best to maintain his balance, Ling Chen used all of his strength to escape backwards.

Croak!!

A thick yellow light started to flicker on the Greedy Giant Toads body. Under the continued trembling of the ground, countless broken stones from an unknown location, heavily smashed towards the ground from above, forming a screen of concentrated rock shower.

Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam

The disastrous rocks fell to the ground with a terrifying smash, completely enveloping Ling Chens body. Ling Chen did not lift his head, because the time required for him to lift his head is enough for him to be smashed by a couple falling rocks. He closed his eyes, listening to every sound of wind that approached his body, his body following the sound of the wind twisting his body at angles and positions that completely defied human physiology. Or high or low, or left or right, his entire body bringing up a ring of unclear afterimages

Nobody could see clearly, in these two seconds, he continuously made 8 or big or small shifts in his position, and just like that charged out from a gap in the concentrated falling rocks, his body sticking to the wall at the very side The range for Stone Hail envelops the 20 meter area around the Greedy Giant Toad. He successfully escaped, the moment his taut body relaxed, if he wasnt leaning against the wall, he would have nearly fallen onto the ground.

Greedy Giant Toad has a total of 80 thousand HP. Up until now, he has dealt a total of not even 150 points of damage And within this time period, he had already encountered many dangerous moments, many times only a thin line away from death.

Even so, he is not willing to give up. In his dictionary, the termgive up does not exist.

After activating Stone Hail, the Greedy Giant Toad will enter a rigid condition for at least 3 seconds, but this rigid condition doesnt matter towards Ling Chen even if its 10 times longer, because he cant even pierce through the Greedy Giant Toads defense. This short period of time, he can only use it to adjust his mind, allowing his constantly tense nerves and mind to relax for a small moment.

Croak!!

The recovered giant toad with a pounce, fell towards Ling Chens position, and then with a smash sound bumping into the wall that Ling Chen was leaning on. Ling Chen made two long jumps, respectively avoiding the the giant toads pounce and the trembling of the ground. He then rapidly moved backwards, until his distance from the giant toad was exactly 10 meters because he vaguely deduced that at this distance, the Greedy Giant Toad seems to readily use its barbed tongue.

FWOOSH!!

As he wished, the giant toads barbed tongue carrying a strong wind shot over. Ling Chen who was already prepared dodged and jumped, once again stepping on top of the massive tongue. Jumping onto the giant toads head with a sound of wind brought by the tongue, Swish Swish Swish 3 full power strikes.

MISS, MISS, -177!

Missing twice, the third time, an eye burning blue coloured damage, a pierce damage more than the total damage of Ling Chens previous attacks.

Under the high defense of the Greedy Giant Toad, the damage from a pierce attack is a lot more effective than a critical hit.

-23!

After 3 attacks, Ling Chen was heavily thrown off. He swiftly pulled apart the distance from the giant toad, and then swallowed a red potion recovering to full health. Tightening his forehead, quickly running around in a 10 meter radius of the giant toad, waiting for the next time of the barbed tongues arrival.

SMASH!

SMASH!!

SMASH!!

Pounce! Pounce! Pounce! Giant Rock Smash! Pounce! Pounce! Stone Hail

Ling Chens body travelled between a multitude of attacks that can easily insta-kill him, moving around, the sound of breathing becoming heavier and heavier, but from beginning to end his mind did not slack. His dignity, his will all did not permit him to fall here. Its just, what made his heart start to shiver is, this Greedy Giant Toad seems to have become smarter An entire two minutes, and it did not use its barbed tongue again once!

Fairie BOSS for the most part have a certain amount of intelligence, could it be that this giant toad already fully understands that Ling Chen only has a chance to hurt it when it releases its barbed tongue?

If its like that, then he really doesnt have even an ounce of hope.

FWOOSH!!

Right when he started to get anxious, the giant barbed tongue suddenly shot towards him.

This abrupt attack that can make regular beings lose all hope instead made Ling Chen so excited that he almost tripped onto the ground while running. This barbed tongue is not just a simple attack, it also means that this giant toads intelligence is not completely mature. It still uses an almost mechanical form of attacking. Ling Chen just narrowly dodges it, jumping up again, charging towards the Greedy Giant Toads head.

-50, MISS, MISS

The most commonly used attack for the the giant toad is pounce, after that is its barbed tongue, but, the giant toads limited intelligence makes the rate that it uses its barbed tongue noticeably lower. Sometimes using it 2,3 times within a minute, sometimes not even using it a single time for multiple minutes. All of Ling Chen attention is focused on the Greedy Giant Toads body, those precious moments, he would closely grab onto them each time, and then mercilessly strike the giant toad 3 times on the head

-50, -50, MISS

MISS, MISS, -49

-102, MISS, -52

once, twice, three times ten times, twenty times

All of the pounce attacks are perfectly dodged by Ling Chen, the assaulting boulders and falling gravel not able to touch Ling Chens body a single time. The frequency of activating the large area Hail Stone is very low, an average of once every ten minutes. Every time, it would make Ling Chen step across the boundaries of death, but not a single time actually making him die

The giant toad that would initially release its barbed tongue multiple times within a minute, at the end only released it three times in an average of two minutes.

And every time, Ling Chen would accurately grasp this opportunity, miraculously or maybe it could be said as terrifyingly without any mistakes or oversights. At the same time every three attacks, every round would deal an average of 100 points of damage.

Under this kind of method the Greedy Giant Toads HP went down incredibly slowly Half an hour, it lost 4000 HP, after another half an hour, its HP dropped down to 72000.

As for Ling Chen, besides the life lost from being thrown off, from beginning to end did not get touched by the Greedy Giant Toads body or attacks once.

One hour, slicing off 8000 of the Breedy Giant Toads HP

If things can continue like this 10 hours he only needs to persist for another 9 hours

Maybe, he can really defeat it!!

Once again dangerously escaping from the falling rock rain, Ling Chen was already sweating bullets. He half crouched on the ground, taking advantage of the giant toads temporary rigid status and taking large breaths.

One hour, from the very beginning his heart strings have been in a very taut condition, this kind of mental exhaustion had already surpassed a regular humans limits. That he can endure until now, it is already enough to make people unable to believe it. Regular people under this kind of high mental concentration condition wouldnt be able to last for 10 minutes before feeling dizzy, their entire body weak, wishing they could just fall down and sleep.

Ling Chens mind is already so exhausted that he wishes he could take a nice, long nap, but if he really wants to defeat the Greedy Giant Toad, under the condition that no other incidents or variables occur, he still needs to endure for 9 more hours These nine hours, if his concentration slacks for even a second, we will die

9 hours

Can I really endure Ling Chen lowered his head, quietly watching his palm slowly clench.

Ruo Ruo please give be belief and strength!!

The constant struggles with you at the edge of death, time and time again beating the god of death this bit of mental exhaustion is nothing!!
