________________________________________

Ace walks out to the wild and goes south to try and find the Giant Poison Shell Toad again to avenge his lost crush.

Ace wanders staying vigilant looking out for the mysterious fog. A thick fog can be seen ahead as Ace walks towards it.

He keeps on walking and the Fog clears as the giant toad appears in his line of sight.

Ace equips his long sword and summons his meteor shield. While swiftly activating his stat boost, heal pulse and rock wrecker.

He charges at the Toad swiftly deflecting the roads tounge as he runs along the crunchy uneven ground. Ace launches into the air as the toad launches its poisonous gas that surrounds Ace and slightly blocks his vision. Ace prepares for a strike attack from its tounge so Ace puts his shield infront of him and lands on the ground.

Ace slowly moves toward as the toad sits still, Ace launches a piercing stabbing attack against the toad. The toad looking absolutely shocked stood there in shock as the puny human infront of him made it through the poison gas unaffected. The sword slashes through the toads shell and Ace keeps up the attack delivering deep cuts and slashes all over the toad with ease. Killing it in 10 strikes.

As the toad disappears it leaves behind 2 element Blessing Shards and 1 ancient wood crystal.

Ace picks up the items and sighs with relief. "I guess killing strong monsters gets you one"

"Ding… South Endless Forest Guardian defeated. Loot chest spawned"

Ace remembers hearing of guardians of each level and when defeated they respawn after 10 days and the drop a loot chest when beaten for the first time by that individual or team.

Ace scans the ground for a loot chest and sees about 10 meters away a bronze shiny chest he goes up to it and opens it. A bright light fills the area and inside lay 1 Extract Blessing Shard and 1 earth element Blessing upgrade book.

Earth Element Blessing upgrade Book

Use:

Can spend a full day reading this book to upgrade 1 Earth Blessing to power level 8.

Ace pleased with his loot he returns home to rest from his fight.
