Abyss Monster

Just hearing the strange name of the cave gave Evan the chills, and he wanted to leave the place before trouble overtook him.

'This is too risky, it would be too ridiculous if I died looking for 100 Mobs in a high level monster lair.' The cave was still too cruel for Evan, who was still low level.

However, when he wanted Liselis to change her options, he felt that Liselis's expectations for him were too high. Maybe she thought he could conquer the untouched cave with ease.

"Liselis, it's too much to search for 100 Mobs in this cave. I'm not aiming for high-level monsters."

"Ah! I forgot!" Liselis shouted because Evan's words reminded her of something about this deepest forest.

"Why? Are there any Wild Monsters approaching?" Evan was worried that she smelled a dangerous monster that was targeting them.

"To think this area has been occupied by them... Be careful, My King! They are approaching here!" Even though she was in danger, Liselis was calm and kept an eye on the area around her.

"W-what do you mean? Briefly explain!" Evan felt a significant change in attitude towards her.

"I can't explain it here... The Abyss monster must have noticed our presence. We have to run!"

"W-what monsters?" Evan didn't know what kind of monster Liselis was referring to. But judging by her panicked behavior, he was sure it was a troublesome monster.

Without explaining further, Liselis immediately turned away from the cave and slithering as fast as possible towards the same direction as they came.

Amid their escape, Evan was curious about the Monster Abyss that Liselis feared. He also dared to look back.

'What the hell is that? I really can't feel it's presence!'

Evan was wide-eyed when he saw the shadow of the red-eyed creature running on all fours, chasing them at high speed. Not only that, the path that the monster took instantly darkened. It was as if the monster had absorbed all the light that passed through it.

"Liselis!! The monster is getting closer!" Evan couldn't see what kind of monster was chasing them because it was running in the shadows.

"It's terrible! There is no other choice..." Liselis glanced back, and the Abyss Monster was only a few meters away from her, and the distance was getting closer.

Evan wanted to confirm how strong the monster was by using his Appraiser Skill. However, he was too swaying, so that his eyes were difficult to focus.

"Yes, I got it!" When Evan got its status, for some reason, he felt his body was floating in the air.

"My King, Hold on tight!" Without giving any advance warning, Liselis jumped off the cliff.

"EHHH!!" He was surprised as he turned his gaze forward to see which path she was taking.

His mind still thought they were still running between 30-meters tall trees suddenly turned into a 151-meter high chasm with a river flowing at the bottom.

"AAHHH!! I fell... I fell..." Evan screamed as he kept grabbing her hair. He panicked even more, when he saw the bottom of the chasm getting closer.

Evan thought it would be better to fight the Abyss monster with a 5% chance of survival than free-falling from a cliff with a less than 1% chance of survival. He resigned and slightly regretted allowing the clumsy Lamia to make a decision.

Before reaching the river, Liselis grabbed Evan's body. She hugged him tightly against her chest to reduce the impact as they hit the water.

*Splash*

They dived pretty deep into the river. After making sure Evan was still in her arms, Liselis moved her hand and tail to swim up to the surface.

"...My King... Are you okay?" She lifted Evan above the water with her hands.

"Ha Ha Ha! Yes, I'm fine... I thought I'd be out of breath because of your tight hug..."

"Eh...Really?! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that." Liselis didn't expect that her good intentions would actually make Evan tormented.

"If you want to apologize later when we reach the riverbank."

Evan looked up and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Abyss monster shrouded in shadow just sitting on the edge of the cliff and staring at him with an annoyed look.

When they arrived at the riverbank, the Abyss Monster had disappeared from its place.

"So tired... Huff~" Liselis lay exhausted by the river after doing the extreme thing.

Evan, who contributed nothing to his escape from the Monster Abyss, let Liselis rest for a while.

On the riverbank, which was almost dark, Evan wagged his body until his tail was like a cat. His new body had rendered entirely 16 years of human knowledge useless.

Evan walked to the river and looked at himself through the reflection of the water. 'Now I've really become a cute furry creature. After leveling up, how much did my status increase now? Let's see.'

"My race changed to salmon?! No... that's not my status... that's the status of the fish down there!" Evan immediately dipped his head into the river to see clearly.

The clear water allowed Evan to see life in the river, not only salmon, tens or even hundreds of fish species in the river.

Without waiting for a second, he immediately pulled his head out of the water. He called out to Lamia, who was lying down.

"Liselis, can you hunt underwater?"

"...Yeahh. Would you like to eat fish?" While lying down, she tried to guess Her King's wishes.

"Then it's time for us to fish!"

Hearing the cheers from Evan, Liselis' tiredness disappeared instantly.

"This is the 97th... I'll admit you're really good at hunting." Evan clawed at the fish flying towards him with his Scratch Skill.

"Glad to hear that, My King. Should you be able to accept Clan Lamia as your vassal?"

Using her long tail, she threw each fish at Evan. Because she was already proficient in hunting fish, Liselis can throw 7 fish at once.

"Yes... Now the Lamia Clan is under my protection."

"Yey!!" Liselis was very happy when her request was granted, and she unconsciously threw 20 Salmon at Evan.

"Liselis!! That's too much!!" Evan shouted as the sharp-toothed fish shot toward him. He also dodged and attacked when the fish were helpless on land.
