This Is the Strength of the Veteran King Curse Frog!

Dan Ya collapsed to the ground, his arms twitching, Scarlet Corruption rapidly eroding his life.

He is not incapable of standing up.

I was just too embarrassed to stand up.

Judging from Aegis's roar, the enemy has probably been drawn away by Si Telan and is likely engaged in a fierce battle.

"Damn it, I really want to become a master too."

He sighed, swallowed the Rotten Moss Medicine given to him by Jon, got up and gripped the katana that was taller than him once more.

It's always like this. Every time I'm full of confidence, I fail to Ascending Dragon, and the same goes for the iaido.

But ironically, I often succeed when I least expect it. If it's not some divine intervention playing tricks on me, then it can only be because I'm not suited to this weapon.

Dan Ya bit her lip. Perhaps she really wasn't suited to the katana. Maybe she, who used to be an assassin, was more suited to dual swords?

But, but.

That katana is awesome! He doesn't want to give up!

"Try one more time, just one more time. If I fail this time, I'll try dual swords."

With that thought in mind, he mustered his resolve and charged headlong toward Aegis.

Unlike other weapons in the Zane Dungeon.

Weapons from the Forest Area, in addition to having fixed Weapon Skill, also have their own unique ways of being used.

If you want to become a master of weapons, you must understand how to use them.

Taking the katana as an example, people discovered that as they continuously attacked monsters, the blade of the katana would gradually be covered with a layer that looked like light or gas, which was later called the air blade.

According to information obtained from the Weapon Master Felyne, attacking enemies with specific Weapon Skill can make the spirit blade increasingly sharp, from colorless to white, then to yellow, and finally to the highest grade red. Higher grades of changes will make the katana more powerful.

If you use Weapon Skill such as [Ascending Dragon] or [Divine Might] at this time, you can maximize the power of the move, and even the scales of Rock Dragon can be easily shattered.

However, the price of the extremely high damage output is that all the spirit blades on the katana disappear, and you have to start accumulating them all over again from colorless. For those who are not skilled, this is nothing short of torture. What's even more torturous is that after finally accumulating red spirit blades, you miss during the Ascending Dragon, losing both the damage and the spirit blade.

Weapons produced in other Forest Area have similar mechanisms to varying degrees, and to master a weapon, one must thoroughly understand its mechanics.

In other words, once you grasp the mechanics, you can pretty much learn how to use this weapon, and the learning difficulty isn't too high; the Felyne can even provide guidance.

Therefore, some people call the Forest Area the "starting point" for novice adventurers. They can learn how to use weapons and equipment here, and also bring out good armor and items, which are valuable starting capital for newcomers.

However, training in the Forest Area has both advantages and disadvantages. One common problem for adventurers who come out of this area is...

He became a giant monster slayer specializing in fighting large monsters, but he wasn't very good at fighting other types of monsters.

As for its power against people, that varies from weapon to weapon.

Jon valued in the Morning Wind Squad was their ability to hunt giant creatures, which is why he chose them directly instead of waiting for higher-level adventurers who needed to schedule their time to come.

"Roar!"

Agkith soared through the air, spewing out Scarlet Corruption mist that instantly enveloped the area in front of him.

As soon as Aegir opened his mouth, Si Telan and his companions summoned Torrent and rode their oxen and horses straight towards Aegir, successfully reaching the area behind the dragon that had not been touched by corruption.

She also casually tied a few pieces of Rotten Moss Medicine to the arrows and shot them into Aegkis's throat.

"Roar! Cough cough cough!"

The moment the Rotten Moss Medicine entered its mouth, Aegis fell silent. Its massive body twitched, and its wings, as if paralyzed, failed to flap, causing it to plummet to the ground.

It had spent so much time with the Scarlet Corruption that the decay had almost become part of its body.

Upon ingesting the Rotten Moss Medicine, a large number of the Scarlet Corruption in its body died, causing it to exhibit symptoms of maladaptation, much like a homeless person who hadn't bathed for years suddenly taking a shower and catching a severe cold!

"Croak—"

The Arch-Tempered Curse Frog, which Luo Jieer called the Veteran King Curse Frog, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and spewed out two mouthfuls of Curse of Death smoke at Eggis's head!

The Curse of Death brought a strong stimulus to the dragon, which stretched its neck and delivered a fast and fierce Dragon Bite to the Curse Frog. The speed of this attack made Si Telan tremble with fear. If the Curse Frog were in her place, she might not have been able to dodge it.

But then something amazing happened. The Curse Frog reacted quickly in a short time and jumped back, successfully dodging the Dragon Bite!

Not only that, it also sprayed a mouthful of Curse of Death spray directly into Aegis's mouth!

The moment the smoke entered the delicate mouth, tiny black crystals began to emerge between the dragon's sharp teeth!

The Curse of Death of the Curse Frog manifests in two ways: crystallization and the growth of thorns. Adventurers still don't understand why there is such a difference.

As for Luo Jieer, he kept one of each of the two Curse Frog.

"Ugh!"

Hearing the mournful cry of the dragon that echoed through the sky, Si Telan swore that this was the first time she had ever seen such obvious disgust and loathing on the faces of the monsters in the Zane Dungeon.

That mouth-to-mouth spray left a considerable shadow on Agkis!

"As expected of the Curse Frog, it easily accomplished what we couldn't!" the members of the Morning Wind Squad exclaimed in unison.

The Curse Frog kept leaping around Aegis, dodging the fierce attacks each time and taking the opportunity to spew smoke to disgust Aegis. People actually saw the shadow of a master of agility in a Curse Frog.

Jump and spray – that's how simple and easy Curse Frog's fighting style is!

"As expected of the Curse Frog, which is hailed as the Arch-Tempered King," Si Telan's preconceived notions about the Curse Frog were about to be changed.

"What are you all standing there for? My little darling isn't confident he can take down that dragon single-handedly!"

Luo Jieer's protest finally snapped everyone out of their spectator mode, and they grabbed their weapons and rushed over to provide support again. With them drawing attention, the pressure on the Curse Frog's side was immediately relieved. After croaking a few times, the frog ran to Luo Jieer's side, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Uncle, don't you have other pets? Show them off!" Dan Ya exclaimed. He felt that if even a single Curse Frog could be raised to such a unique state, then Luo Jieer's other pets must be even stronger.

"That's my partner, not a pet. Besides, I only have this one. The others have been sent to training classes for demonstration purposes!"

To avoid appearing to be slacking off, Luo Jieer raised his magic wand and quickly cast several Buff Magic at the crowd.

He was originally an unconventional magician specializing in stealth and ambush, and should have gotten along quite well with the group from the Sorcerous Town of Sellia.

However, as he gained more and more companions, he changed his fighting style and specially learned support magic. In battle, he would let the Curse Frog and the Female Fire Dragon fight head-on while he focused on applying buffs.

This is what a qualified trainer should do!

The battle has now reached a fever pitch.

Although Dan Ya still hasn't Ascending Dragon, his Iai Strike. Together with Xiu En, he directly confronts Aegis's wrath, and the two form an unbreakable defensive line, keeping the enemy firmly at their side. They are truly reliable teammates.

At that moment, Si Telan her bow to its fullest extent, and several arrows, poised to be released, were aimed at the wounds cut into Aegis's body.

"Bang!"

The moment the bowstring was released, it produced a thunderous sound, and dozens of arrows, as if alive, rushed toward the same wound.

"Boom!"

The explosion resounded at the wound next to Aegkis's neck, and its massive body trembled from the blast, even staggering and collapsing to the ground.

Xiu En and Dan Ya also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the large wounds caused by the explosive arrows. In an instant, Aegkis's skin was torn open, and the blood that gushed out was covered with Scarlet Corruption toxins.

"As expected of a weapon from the Forest Area, it has a special effect against dragons."

Luo Jieer sighed, patting the Curse Frog while continuing to record Aegis with the Image Stone, and said, "That guy's about to get angry, it's your turn."

"Croak!"

Just as the Curse Frog set off, Aegis, who had been lying on the ground looking listless, suddenly let out a roar, rendering those around him unable to move.

It swept away its previous fatigue, and its anger made it burst out with even greater power. The saying "a beast in distress becomes more ferocious" perfectly describes this moment!

"It's enraged. Stay on guard and hold out until it's exhausted!" Si Telan commanded without any hesitation.

They'd seen their prey get angry far too often when they were Monster Hunter in the Forest Area, so they weren't worried at all.

Enraged, Agkith's attacks became even fiercer and more ferocious, its claws smacking the ground and its tail sweeping across the rocks with every move.

"Why can't this guy's tail be cut off!" Dan Ya bent down to dodge a tail sweep and complained.

He saw that Aegis's tail was long and thick, and looked like it could be cut off. He wondered if there would be any extra reward after the tail was cut off.

Because the Gargoyle of Anor Londo can turn their tails into weapons after they've been cut off.

At this moment, there were many wounds on Aegis's tail, but none of them were serious enough to break it off.

Just as Dan Ya was in distress, the Curse Frog suddenly appeared from the side and sprayed Curse of Death smoke at the wounds.

"Aww!"

Eagkiss instinctively lashed out with its tail, naturally missing the Curse Frog.

"Could it be that..."

Dan Ya saw through the Curse Frog's plan and threw Flame Pot at its head just as Aegis flapped its wings to take off. The explosion stopped it from taking off!

The Curse of Death was completely absorbed by the wounds, and Aegis roared in terror. Black crystals visibly grew in the wounds, a sign that the Curse of Death was being activated!

The dragon could no longer calm down and swung its tail violently at the huge rock next to it. Its already battered and crystallized tail broke off at that moment!

"That was awesome!"

Dan Ya let out a sound of pleasure!

With a thud, the thick tail crashed to the ground. Aegis lost all will to fight. He forced everyone back with a puff of putrid smoke and then hurriedly took off and fled!

They successfully repelled Agkis!

"Wow, Curse Frog! I didn't expect you to be this strong!"

Dan Ya completely ignored the slippery skin and started rubbing it directly with her hands, and the Curse Frog looked like it was enjoying it.

"Why don't you just say I've taken good care of them?" Luo Jieer muttered to himself.

Si Telan smiled. "Alright, go check on Mr. Jon. He should have already entered that building."

Before she could finish speaking, Jon's screams echoed from inside the building.
