Chapter 466: Fishing Above Giant Lily Pads

-----

"Are these lily pads really going to be able to support our weight?" Wondered Takeshi.

"Come on don't be such a chicken! Let's go in!" Laura pushed Takeshi forward as the two stepped into the big lily pads.

These were named Giant Swamp Lily Pads, and were just as their name indicated, enormous lily pads that could hold a lot of weight before even sinking. They were all over the swamp and monster crawled over them to take a breather, frogs took most of them in.

"Smelly…" Nyx said.

"Yeah swamps don't smell the best…" Said Lucifer.

"But this is where we can get some good materials and equipment, so don't fret, my daughter! Come on, let's fly!" I said, holding Nyx's hands as she began flapping her tiny wings.

"Waaah!"

The little baby started flying around happily, as she tried to catch up to me.

"Sigh… Don't you know it is dangerous if you fly over the water like that?!" Lucifer cried.

"Don't worry, she's not going to fall-"

"Bwaaahh!"

However, Nyx lost balance, as she had yet to practice her flying and ended falling from the skies.

F L A A A S H!

However, I quickly caught her by extending my phantom into an enormous shadow hand, and then quickly lifting her up towards me.

"You almost fell!"

"Scawy…"

Nyx began to sob a bit as I hugged her.

"There, there. You want to go back to your daddy?" I asked her.

"Nuhh!" She cried, grasping my shoulders.

"Okay then, mama will hold you. Is that better? Let's make sure to wrap you tightly around mama too." I said with a smile, using shadow threads to make sure I had her well wrapped around my body.

"And done! Baby Carrier Created!"

"Waaah!"

Nyx felt suddenly happy she was being carried so easily. Although I looked a bit funny with her wrapped around my body with shadow threads and tightly into my belly.

"I guess that's effective." Said Lucifer.

"Hmm, I had never seen one of those!" Helga said while inspecting me as I flew down.

"Now that's a baby carried! Wait, nobody has ever made one in here?" Asked Blackard.

"Not that I remember. Man, if I had one of those it would make my life easier and that of Myriad…" Helga sighed.

"So Baby Carriers are not a thing… Alright, I'll give the design for free to you later, and you can replicate it with Myriad!" I said with a smile. "We'll want a lot too for everyone here to carry Nyx too."

"Ooh! Alright! I think they might sell rather well." Helga smiled greedily.

B B B R R R H H H…!

"Hey, is the water trembling or something?" Wondered Brunhild, as she quickly noticed several shadows popping out from the swamp's water all at once!

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLAAASH!

And they were all fish shaped, but with their heads in the shape of long arrows with a sharp, steel-like end which perhaps was a modified scale of the fish.

"T-Those are Arrow Fish! A whole school of them!" Helga panicked.

"Boys, shields!" Blackard quickly called everyone for a defensive stance as the dwarves took out their shields and stepped forward, protecting us, even when it wasn't really necessary.

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

The fishes quickly began to attack us. They weren't named Arrow Fish for no reason. They used their sharp heads to pierce through their foe's bodies, ambushing them and then throwing them into the water to feast on them, most of the time while they were still alive.

"These guys are only E Rank at the end, smash them with everything you've got boys!" Helga roared, as the dwarves quickly began attacking the fishes with their axes and blades.

SLASH! CLASH! BAAAM!

Shredded fish quickly began flying everywhere, as for a moment we thought things were being handled nicely. If we interfered it would end too quickly, and this was a good training for the dwarves too, so they can get more EXP as well.

"Go Root!"

"Gyugyuuu!"

Root quickly stepped forward, jumping above the dwarves, and then landing over a large lily pad. His body suddenly began to emanate a sweet aroma, the fishes quickly looked at him instead of the dwarves, as half of the school of hundreds of Arrow Fishes started targeting him!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The Arrow Fishes didn't waste any time, immediately piercing through his bark and wood as Root reinforced his defenses by shaping his branches into four shield covering his body, making him resemble a big bunker made of wood.

He also used his other skills, covering the wooden shields with spears made of wood as well, defending himself rather well against the fishes. Most of them quickly ended being impaled by the spears covering his shields. Of course, he was getting all covered with fish meat and blood.

The school of fish targeted us as well, as they saw were just standing there and doing nothing, they thought we were easy prey. A single swipe of my hand was enough to generate a shockwave of darkness, quickly making a dozen fish explode into pieces.

BOOOOM!

"If you know what's good for you, don't mess with us."

The fishes didn't understand my words, but they understood my strength. As if they were obeying my orders, they decided to just continue attacking the dwarves and Root instead.

Root was a good target for them even after seeing their fellow fishes being impaled by his wooden spears. And that was thanks to his Aroma Skill, it not only made it so our MP recovered faster by smelling it, but it worked as a Provoking Skill, making the Fish attack him incessantly!

As everyone killed more and more fishes, their numbers finally began to decrease. The EXP they gave to us was utterly abysmal, we would need to kill hundreds of thousands to get anything out of them… However, Root and the Dwarves seemed to be leveling up constantly, this was really powering them up.
