Chapter 125 - Playing With The Armoured Fire Crocodile



After it\'s continuous attempts to catch the human in front of him, the armoured fire crocodile got tired and finally decided to leave him.

As for Nick, he didn\'t think that the armoured fire crocodile would simply lose interest in him only after playing with it for 10 minutes.

​​

\'Will all the beasts behave like that?\' 

According to his knowledge regarding the beasts, Nick didn\'t expect this kind of response from an armoured fire crocodile, which could reach rank 4 or even higher with some fortuitous encounters.

\'I wonder how many contribution points I will get once I take its armour and teeth. It should get me more points because it is just an inch away from reaching the rank 3, right? Moreover, if I could successfully kill it, I can buy that item from the mission hall in less time,\' 

All of a sudden, Nick thought of something that could help him buy the thing he wanted from the mission hall.

With that thought in his mind, he looked at the armoured fire crocodile which was moving away from him and his eyes brightly shined.

\'Even if I can\'t kill it, I can escape from it with ease. So, I give it a try,\'

Although he would get many benefits if he killed that armoured fire crocodile, he didn\'t have complete confidence because the armoured fire crocodile was completely covered in a hard armour and without proper weapon and strength, it was impossible to kill it.

Nevertheless, he wanted to give it a try and in the worst-case scenario, he could just escape as he had already collected around 80 plus fire wisp flowers.

"While playing with it, I will collect the remaining fire wisp flowers,"

Soon, he found a stone and threw it at the moving away armoured fire crocodile.

\'Hit\'

\'Roar\'

When the stone hit that armoured fire crocodile, it looked at Nick and roared at him with anger before continuing its walking without bothering about Nick.

"What the hell! I heard the beasts are short-tempered and as long as someone irritated them, they will fight with them to death. Looks like there are some cowardly beasts like you," Nick intentionally provoked the armoured fire crocodile because it was not paying any attention to him.

\'Even though your intelligence is less, you can understand some of my words. So, as long as I successfully irritate you with my words, you will fell in my trap,\'

Nick continued to irritate it with his words.

For a rank 2 beasts, it was impossible to completely understand the human speech; however, the beasts that lived long enough and moreover, the armoured fire crocodile was just an inch away from breathing through to the rank 3.

Rank 3, for a beast, it was a turning point for them as their intelligence increases and they could completely understand the human speech from their race\'s memories.

So, Nick was confident that the armoured fire crocodile could understand some of his words and come after him to kill.

\'Roarrr\'

After the continuous verbal assault from Nick, the armoured fire crocodile successfully enraged to the point where it could not withhold its anger.

\'Thud thud\'

After releasing a loud roar, the armoured fire crocodile madly rushed at him. 

\'That\'s it. Just madly come after me,\'

Once again the same cycle of play repeated as Nick would always escape from the armoured fire crocodile\'s mouth.

\'100\'

While dodging the armoured fire crocodile\'s bite, Nick collected the remaining fire wisp flowers and successfully completed the mission.

\'Phew...as long as I show them these fire wisp flowers, my first newbie mission is successfully completed,\' Nick heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the tired armoured fire crocodile and thought, \'One more thing to finish and I can go and wait for Henrick at the bridge.\'

That\'s right!

Generally, the armoured fire crocodile\'s weight was heavy and with Nick\'s continuous play with it, the fire crocodile was tired as he fell to the ground while glaring at Nick.

\'Time to kill it,\'

Nick clenched his fists as he slowly moved towards the armoured fire crocodile.

\'Punch\'

\'Roar\'

\'Swoosh\'

Nick used his full force to punch between the joints because he felt they were weak. However, just when he punched the armoured fire crocodile\'s neck joint, it turned back and tried to swallow him in a single bite.

Nevertheless, Nick was on his guard because he never underestimated the armoured fire crocodile from the beginning.

\'Phew...just like I expected \'an injured beast is more dangerous than a normal one\',\' Nick recalled the famous quote that his grandma used to say and heaved a sigh of relief for staying on the guard.

\'Punch\'

\'Roar\'

\'Swoosh\'

Nick repeated the same thing multiple times and every time the fire crocodile repeated the same action of killing him.

\'Luckily this one didn\'t have any long-range attacks; otherwise, I would have died the moment it saw me,\'

Armoured fire crocodile didn\'t have any long-range attacks and all its skills only increase its defence of the armour and enhance the sharpness of its teeth and nails.

\'Thud\'

All of a sudden, the amoured fire crocodile was unable to stand anymore as he fell to the ground and closed its eyes with the weak breath.

\'Is it completely tired now? Or is it acting?\' Nick didn\'t rush towards it and slowly moved towards it from a safe position.

\'Now, die,\'

Even though he knew that he could not kill it with a single punch, Nick encouraged himself as he started punching it. Without stopping.

\'Roar\'

In the beginning, there was nothing wrong; however, after some time, Nick felt something was wrong.

\'Maybe, I am getting this kill without much difficulty, I am feeling like that. Anyway, I will kill it and take it back to the mission hall in one piece,\'

Nevertheless, he didn\'t stop punching the joint between the head and the remaining body of the armoured fire crocodile.

\'Damn it...it\'s too hard to even make some damage to it,\'

After continuous punching, he even felt his hands were in pain; however, there was not even a scratch on the screen.

\'Maybe, I should come after I enter the energy condensation realm. There is barely a scratch on the armour; however my hands already turned red with the continuous punches,\'

\'Punch\'

\'Kacha\'

However, just when he thought to stop punching the armoured fire crocodile and leave that place, the armoured opened up a little and its skin appeared making him excited.

\'I can do it,\'

Once again, he became hopeful and repeated his actions of punching the armoured fire crocodile.

\'Haha\'

After a few moments, Nick started laughing and stopped punching the armoured fire crocodile as he wanted to take a small breath.

The reason he laughed was because finally, the blood came out from the place where he was punching all this while.

\'Time to get back to work,\'

He only rested for a few seconds as he took a deep breath and clenched his fists which were lightly bleeding after continuous punches; however, Nick didn\'t mind as he decided to finish it.

\'Did I over exhaust it or what?\'

Before he could punch, he looked at the armoured fire crocodile\'s long face and silently thought in his head because the fire crocodile didn\'t even groan in pain even though he was punching it with all of his strength.

\'Punch\'

Finally, he punched at the place where blood was coming out.

\'Huh?\'

However, something unexpected happened as he was unable to pull his hand out because the armour which was opened up earlier held his head tightly making Nick anxious.

\'Growl\'

As soon as his hand got stuck in the armour of the armoured fire crocodile, it opened its eyes as it growled at him.

For some reason, Nick felt that growl as a laugh because the armoured fire crocodile gave gaps in between its growls just like how humans eerily laugh.

\'Aargh\'

There was no other way for Nick to escape as his hand was stuck in the armour. Moreover, he felt pain when he tried to pull out his hands.

\'Should I cut my own hand?\'

As long as he lived, he could grow back his hand as there were many techniques and medicines in this world; however, if he lost his life, then everything would be lost.

\'Swoosh\'

\'Aargh\'

Before he could cut his own arm, Nick felt a burning sensation in his right hand and fell to the ground while groaning in pain.
