*Bam!*
Clovis was slammed to the ground, causing him to roll a few times. The frog leaped into the air, planning to crush Clovis with its giant body.
As soon as Jay landed on the ground, he rushed to Clovis’s side and swung his saber as hard as possible.
To his surprise, his blade couldn’t penetrate the frog’s skin because of a sticky liquid that coated the entire body. It even made his swing slide down the frog’s body.
In the end, Jay used his entire body weight to deflect the frog’s trajectory, barely avoiding Clovis.
Kanaria was pointing her rifle at these beasts, but she hadn’t shot yet, not wanting to reveal her location. In addition, due to the commotion earlier, the beasts around the area had woken up.
"…" Kanaria’s expression turned serious as she heard Melody’s voice through the receiver in her right ear.
"Sorry. It’s my mistake. I’ve miscalculated the beasts in the area, especially in the water." Melody was watching the live footage while searching for information about that crocodile. "You should end this fight as quickly as possible if you don’t want to die."
"What do you mean?"
"That crocodile is Sarcosuchus. It lived in the early Cretaceous period and was known as a giant crocodilian. In its adult phase, it can easily reach twelve meters. It looks like this crocodile is only 7 meters long, but it’s only a Tier 2 beast. There are a lot of beasts coming to the location as well."
Kanaria’s expression turned grim. She checked the radar to make sure there were no beasts around her. After that, she pointed her rifle at one of the incoming beasts. "You heard her, guys."
Clovis had stood up and looked at the crocodile. "Jay."
Jay clenched his sword, thinking that he would be fighting the crocodile instead of the frog. This was what usually happens, after all. Clovis would fight against the higher-tier beast.
However, Clovis asked, "You can take care of a mere frog while I defeat this crocodile, right?"
"Foolish question." Jay smiled, feeling fired up. When they were about to move, the frog’s cheek bloated for a second before it shot out its tongue.
The tongue was extremely long, reaching as far as five meters.
"Clovis!" Kanaria warned him.
Clovis glanced at the tongue once before focusing back on the crocodile. It wasn’t that he wasn’t scared of the tongue that was coming at him. It was that Jay was already there, striking the tongue.
"Ha!" Jay roared. Just like its skin, he failed to cut the tongue. However, this was what he actually needed if he wanted to deflect it.
While swinging downward, Jay pushed his center of gravity down, giving him an instant surge of strength.
*Bam!*
The tongue hit the ground next to Clovis, barely missing him. The tongue was extremely heavy and powerful as the area it hit earlier turned into a small crater.
While Jay managed to deflect the tongue, Clovis had to take care of the crocodile.
It rushed toward him with his jaws wide open.
Clovis swung his blade as hard as possible to test the crocodile’s strength, but all of a sudden, the crocodile bit the sword and used its entire body to take it away from Clovis.
Clovis tightened his grip and followed the movement of the crocodile. To stop the crocodile, he thrust the short sword into the crocodile’s eye.
The crocodile had no other choice but to let go of the sword before tilting its head to the other side. The tough skin bounced the sword away while the tail carried the momentum and hit Clovis from the other side.
*Bam!*
Clovis felt the impact that contained all that weight, but he still managed to endure it thanks to his clothes.

He used his right foot to support his body and hurriedly impaled the crocodile’s body with the long sword.
*Crack!*
To his surprise, even impaling the skin wasn’t enough.
In addition, Jay was using all his strength to cut the frog but also failed to penetrate the skin. With the roars echoing around the area, they probably only had several minutes to take them down.
’Three minutes…’ Clovis muttered inwardly, assessing their current situation. He remembered what the frog could actually do, so he hurriedly tossed the short sword into the frog’s eye.
The frog closed its eyelid, causing the short sword to slide away.
"!!!" Jay didn’t expect that Clovis would interfere in this fight, but the frog’s next action explained everything.
The frog’s cheek bloated once again, so Jay wanted to deflect it for him. However, Clovis shouted, "Don’t!"
Jay’s pupils moved to the corner, finding Clovis standing on top of the raging crocodile.
When the frog shot its tongue, Clovis stepped to the side and placed the long sword on the crocodile’s skin.
The tongue hammered the long sword like a nail, shattering the hard skin.
*Roar!* The crocodile was wailing in pain, not understanding why the human’s attack was able to penetrate his skin.
Noticing his blunder, the frog hurriedly retracted its tongue, but Jay actually got an idea after seeing Clovis.
While it was true that the frog’s skin was slippery, there were a few parts with the thinnest layer of skin.
He ran to a tree and used it to jump straight to the frog’s eye. He positioned his saber in front of him so that he looked like an arrow.
His aim was the frog’s eye. The frog closed its eyes while rolling the tongue, but it was futile. He acted like a nail being hammered so that even if it was slippery, it would move past the slippery layer and pierced through the skin.
*Heeee!*
The frog screamed as Jay’s plan worked. His saber pierced through the eyelid, but it was still unable to completely defeat the slippery liquid, which caused the trajectory to change.
The saber only pierced two centimeters into the eyelid before sliding to the side.
Jay used this chance to slash the eye instead.
*Heee!*
