There were two frogs behind them and one in front of them. It was most likely that they followed them around the whole time but decided not to attack for now. As they noticed the weird behaviour that they didn't show before, they decided it would be a good time to attack now. The frogs looked just like normal frogs if you just looked at the basic structure. But you wouldn't need glasses to see their eyes being a lot larger than normal and their whole body being about one metre long. Their tongues also seemed to always stick out of their mouths as they were unable to close them. The tongue that could be seen ranged about 1 to 2 metres.
"Now this is why we came here." Leo said with a smile on his face, looking like he had forgotten all about being tired at all. "You want me to handle these three?"
"No," Zyn responded, hitting Leo on the head. "Kore, can you take care of the one at the front? I need to watch this wannabe tinkerer "
Kore laughed a bit nervously and replied. "Hehehe, sure."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WANNABE?" Leo shouted at Zyn as he took that as a serious insult. "YOU NARCISSISTIC..." Leo stopped as he noticed that he knew far too little about Zyn to continue his insult.
"Hahaha. That is because I AM beautiful," Zyn responded. "Then let's make it a fight. The person who defeats this frog first wins."
"Let´s do that" Leo spoke with a smile and rushed off to the left frog. "Just don't try to get a scratch on your face."
"That would be terrible," Zyn said, as he too started fighting the right frog.
Kore being all alone with his frog now sighed. "Please go easy on me."
The frog monster waited for Kore to make his move, but as he didn't want to underestimate his enemy, he waited for the frog too. Running out of patience, the frog extended his tongue and stuckit to the ceiling. It swung itself forward in the direction of Kore at a fast speed. Kore responded to that with a simple dodge, but it soon let go of the ceiling and stuck its tongue on it again after turning around. He tried to attack with his fist, but he saw something that kind of terrified him. On the hands of the frog were small claws with a purple liquid running down from them, indicating that they were poisonous. Kore also only had his right hand free as he held the egg in the other.
Still, Kore tried a bit of a risky technique. He stood there in a stance like he wanted to punch the frog, but as soon as it was near enough, Kore kicked the frog with his leg. He didn't do much damage to the frog as it was soft and bouncy, but he at least knew he was able to trick the frog. As long as he didn't get hit, he could do that as long as he needed to, or at least he had enough time to figure out the weakness of the frog.
Once again, the frog turned around and was swinging in the direction of Kore, and once again he stood there in a punching stance, but this time Kore had another plan. The frog was expecting a kick again or maybe a punch, but what it didn't expect was for Kore to dodge the attack of the frog and grab the tongue of the frog. As soon as he grabbed it, the frog started scratching around on his arm.

Kore was happy to see the message. He just had one elemental skill but no normal skill, so this was his first time.
Kore pulled on the tongue of the frog so it would stop sticking to the ceiling. As the part of the tongue, he grabbed was near the body, he started swinging the frog against the ground.

Kore managed to swing the one metre frog around with just one arm and didn´t even need to use his second. At least, that's what he assumed.

´Shit!´ Kore swore in his head. ´I didn´t want to underestimate my enemy, and here we are now.´
Kore needed to finish this quickly as he felt his body getting weaker by the poison and started getting pale.
[The egg is worried about its master's look].
[75% hatching finished]
He once again kicked the frog to the ground and this time started kicking it into the ground. He had a buff of 10%, which meant it would now be easier to defeat the frog. He kicked and kicked the frog as it tried to get away, but he stood on the arm of the frog while kicking it with the other foot.
The frog, of course, realized it had no chance and stopped scratching Kore's leg and instead freed itself by cutting off its own arm. Kore, seeing this, decided he needed to put down the egg, which he had done fast but gently at the same time, and quickly grabbed the frog by its tongue again.
Kore started swinging the frog against the wall and the ground at the same time while pulling its tongue apart. At that point, the frog only saw one solution. Cutting off its tongue. But the problem was that it was its main weapon. Even if the frog was able to escape, it would then soon die because it will get kicked out of its group and have no chance against the humans. It would be cruel. It would stop being a normal frog. It wouldn't be the same anymore. It would be alone for the rest of its life, just waiting for a human to kill it. It didn't want that. It only saw one solution to end its suffering.

The frog started cutting around on its own body, and soon messages appeared before Kore.
