"Oy! Are you there?"
He floated towards the river, but far enough to let him flee if something went wrong.
"Let's try to wake it up." He said as he flew higher.
He activated his Thunder magic and blasted it 3 times into the river, but he received no reaction.
"Are you sure it's not dead? It's not even moving-"
Out of a sudden, a gigantic ball of acid flew towards him, he immediately activated his Wind magic to evade the attack.
"You should know that spitting on someone is extremely rude."
Slowly, its silver and black skin emerged from the river, its green eyes were darted at him. A towering 2 meters tall monster with a skin clad with Mithril.
[Mithril Skinned Frog Level 8.]
"So the footing that the other frogs stepping on before are not rocks? It's this thing all along! It's bigger than I imagined it would be. Talk about evolution."
The Mithril skinned frog opened its mouth preparing to unleash something.
He flew higher. "What would you do? Spit on my face?"
From its mouth, the Mithril skinned frog released a huge blast of water and launched it towards him.
He activated his Wind magic and flew away from the enormous blast of water.
"Watch your manners!"
Even with its gigantic body proportion, the Mithril skinned frog jumped towards him with such great speed and stuck out its tongue for a quick grab.
"What the hell!"
He skillfully evaded its tongue by blasting himself away, even with water blast pursuing him, he easily got through unscathed.
"You are apparently bigger and level wise stronger, but the problem is, I had already fought a monster far skilled than you, and I must say, she's one hell of a pain in the ass."
He activated multiple Fire magic at once and countless fireballs appeared throughout the underground river, the entire place lit up more than it already had.
"Now, burn."
The Fireballs hurled towards the Mithril skinned frog and wrapped it with fire.
The Mithril skinned frog unleashed a powerful blast of water and extinguished all the fire around it and jumped towards him.
He activated his Wind magic and flew higher to dodge the tongue of the charging Mithril skinned frog.
He activated his Thunder magic and bombarded the head of the Mithril Skinned frog that was currently in mid-air. His bombardment never stopped even though the frog already landed face-first to the ground.
Even with the devastating attack that the Mithril skinned frog took. It was apparent that it only received little to no damage, The gigantic frog's entire body didn't receive any wound or dent.
"I think your skin can resist a certain amount of magic and physical damage. It's reducing my attack damage, I must say, that's one hell of a skin. But, that doesn't mean I can't hurt you."
Without the sign of stopping he continued his attack. Even with the endless assault that the Mithril skinned frog receiving it tried to stand up. It roared as its tongue pop out of its mouth.
"At least you are tougher than I thought." He flew towards the Mithril skinned frog.
While continuing his Thunder magic bombardment he activated his fire magic and blasted a flamethrower coming from his body towards the struggling Mithril skinned frog. A massive fire that probably no one would think that devastating attack was from a 1-centimeter ball of light. He heated up the Mithril skinned frog so hard the metallic skin began to lit up in bright orange.
Due to the bombardment of Thunder magic all over its body, the Mithril skinned frog rendered incapacitated, the once most powerful being in this part of the cave system turned weak against the unprecedented enemy in front of it.
The Mithril skinned frog tried to use its Water magic, but the Thunder magic bombarded its head harder that stopped the Mithril skinned frog to even open its mouth.
A loud cry announced the victor. The gigantic monster could no longer fight, against its palm-sized enemy.
He finally stopped his assault and gazed upon the struggling frog lying down to the ground while its tongue was stuck out, its entire body was glowing in bright orange.
"Don't get me wrong, you are indeed strong. It's just I already fought more dangerous enemy before."
With its final strength, the Mithril skinned frog jumped towards the river, trying to save its very life until the end.
"I won't jump there if I were you."
The gigantic frog jumped to the river and the moment its body touched the water, a huge amount of steam came out from its body along with an ominous sizzling sound due to the contact of heated mithril to the water.
"I warned you."
He flew towards the river and find the Mithril skinned frog standing at the center of the river. The Mithril skinned frog's once Silver and black skin turned into a bright shining silvery blue that shines when the light coming from the wall reflected on it.
Its heated mithril skin solidified and turned the Mithril skinned frog into a lovely statue that would last for more than a lifetime.
An accidental beauty.
"A magnificent specimen. Even if your life ends now, I'm sure, your beauty will last for countless lineage, someday, someone will discover you and will dub you as the center of the elegance of this beautiful sanctuary. I hope I'm still around when that fated day arrived."

"Now I get it. If I kill the same species of monsters over and over again, the experience points that I'm going to receive will gradually decrease until it no longer gives me any. That's why I didn't level up, even though I killed a terrifying amount of monsters those past 10 days."
[Evolution condition met.]
[Do you want to initiate the evolution process?]
"I get it now."
His body trembled.
"I had wasted 10 days of my life for nothing!"
