Chapter 17: Unexpected Final Boss

The two stand before the giant toad in front of them. As the two gates slammed behind them, Liza takes one look of the Mother with dim expression on her face.

"This is it!" Scarlett said excitedly.

"This is it?" Liza said bluntly, catching Scarlett off guard.

'Did I hear him right? Does master doubts about this giant toad is actually not the Mother Toad?!' Scarlett glanced up at it again without change of thought.

Liza took a few steps forward, while taking a deep breath.

"Hey! Mother Toad or whoever you are!!!" Liza yelled, getting the giant Toad attention.

"GAIN SKILL VOLUME MODIFICATION LV 1"

'Master... you are truly fearless. Only you would do things so absurd,' Scarlett watches from a far.

The Toad's croaks echoed across the wall, Liza listen carefully as she tries to translate what the Mother Toad was saying. It took a few minutes but Liza succeeded.

"PRONOUNCE LV 6"

"GAIN LANGUAGE TOAD"

'Got it. Now let's try this again,' Liza thought before taking another deep breath.

"Excuse me Ma'am, but are you happened to be The Mother Toad?" Liza spoke again in a more sweeter voice.

The Toad remained silent before lowering it's head down and spoke. "Can you understand me?"

'What the F***?!' It was all Liza thought when she herded the Mother Toad's voice.

It was soft and light, it reminded Liza of her own mother when she was still alive. Kind and gentle, to believe that those type of character traits exist in a fifty feet tall purple toad.

"Uh... Ahem! Yes ma'am, I do understand you," Liza exclaimed while trying to clear her own throat.

"I see... in all my years I would never had thought that a goblin would educate himself to learning the old Toad tongue," the Mother Toad said, almost sounded slightly impressed.

'Really? But I was able to figure it out in the mere few minutes. Is this language really anything special?' Liza frown at bit, slightly disappointed by Mother Toad's prideful behavior.

And then both Liza and The Mother Toad began a lengthy conversation to one another about a certain opposition. At the end, the two finally went to a agreement that pleased both sides.

While this was happening, Scarlett stand completely frozen, mentally screaming as little slugs crawl up her legs and arms. Then suddenly the Mother Toad ripped her own leg off, and regenerate a new one.

"This is what you wanted?" The Mother Toad confirm as passes the tore toad leg to Liza.

Liza grin as she nodded her head. "Yes! Thank you very much Ma'am!"

"I'm glad this was solved without any violence. I don't want to disturb my children sleeping," The Mother Toad said as she gaze at the giant tadpoles floating peaceful in the poisonous pond.

"I'm glad too,"

'Mostly because I didn't want her to throw us into the pond. Poison Immunity or not. I can't swim,' Liza sweat slightly by the thought of drowning in the pond while trying to fight back the baby tadpoles from trying to eat her.

"Well, I believe there is no reason for you to stay here anymore. So you and your human friend may leave now, however..." Liza gulped deeply as she waited for the Mother Toad to finish her sentence.

"Even though neither the two of you have defeated me. You two are the first whoever tried to negotiate with me. For that only deserve some reward,"
