Chapter 116 – Circle of Monsters

　　Wheat walked closer unwillingly, then stopped when it was in range. It shrunk itself back to the size of a normal rat, then cast Scatterstone Rain.

　　An angry howl sounded out as the stalagmites fell into the water.

　　A scaly gigantic back of a creature rose from the depths. It was the exact monster which devoured the Vengeful Skeleton earlier. Fatty could see from where he was standing that the monster’s scaly back seemed to be blotched and spanned several meters.

　　Fatty did what he usually does. He used Appraisal.

　　Deepwater Crocodile.

　　Level: 40

　　…

　　Notes: A creature living in the Wraith Swamp after being mutated by the negative energies.

　　Crocodile skin was known to be tough and Wheat’s Scatterstone Rain dealing a measly hundred points of damage was proof that it applied to this monster as well. Despite that, the Deepwater Crocodile was clear infuriated. It splashed its tail with a roar and sent a wave cras.h.i.+ng towards Fatty.

　　At the same time, it also followed its attack. When the creature climbed onto the sh.o.r.e, Fatty was completely dumbstruck. How’s this a crocodile. It’s clearly G.o.dzilla!

　　The Deepwater Crocodile was over a dozen meters in length and covered in blotches and swells. It’s four legs were as thick as elephant legs, while its tail took up around half its entire length, every single swing seemed to be a huge python slithering around.

　　Fatty took a few steps back as he gasped. It’s definitely like this because of the mutation. Hey… Did its crucial organ turn long and thick too?

　　The ground shook as the Deepwater Crocodile crawled. Now that it was closer, Fatty could see that it dwarfed the Mad Bull King even though that was a huge monster as well. The Deepwater Crocodile shook the world as it ran just like a bullet train.

　　The monster didn’t even have to attack, even a mere touch of it was able to turn a person into minced meat. Fatty quickly retreated with Wheat and tried to use the surroundings to his advantage. However, when he immediately gave up on the thought when he saw two towering trees get easily snapped by the monster.

　　The mission’s more important. Lord Fatty isn’t going to get on such a barbaric monster’s level!

　　The Deepwater Crocodile finally stopped chasing Fatty and Wheat after several hundred meters. It turned around and waddled back. Meanwhile, Fatty panted heavily and glared at Wheat, only for it to wag its tail and glare back.

　　“Tsk, even a rat will kick you when you’re down,” Fatty picked Wheat up off the ground and pinched, only letting go when Wheat squeaked in complaint. When Fatty landed back on the ground, it immediately returned to its natural size and growled.
