Chapter 120: New Form (Edited)

Today is the tenth day of Fish's revenge, and the last time he plans to go after the Acromantulas.

During this period of time, the Acromantulas were not without a fight, but as they invested more spiders, the helpers around Fish also increased, and eventually even the centaurs joined in.

And with the intentional cooperation of a group of forbidden forest creatures, the Acromantulas haven't even been able to figure out who is causing them trouble, and even the small spiders they sent to spy on them were captured and eaten by smaller creatures, such as Augurey and Bowtruckles.

Hagrid also attempted to patrol the Acromantulas' nest to stop the creatures of the Forbidden Forest from attacking the Acromantulas, but after being surrounded by a flock of fierce birds, he crawled back to his hut on all fours with Fang and a sour smile on his face.

After several attempts, Hagrid had no choice but to give up.

So he went to Aragog, and under his persuasion, and the force of reality, Aragog had to restrain his children and tell all the Acromantulas to ignore any provocation and stand their ground.

But at this point, Fish had no need to lure the Acromantulas himself.

If luring them in secret didn't work, they had to do it the hard way!

Led by the centaurs, a group of creatures from the Forbidden Forest arrogantly stormed into the Acromantulas' territory, forcing an unlucky spider out and sending it to Fish to beat up.

In fact, by this point, Fish had lost interest in the matter, as it was completely unchallenging and uninteresting, and with the [Elves' Fire] and the Cloak of Invisibility, it was incredibly easy to take on the Acromantulas alone.

Even when Fish stopped using the Invisibility Cloak, the Acromantulas were still too weak to fight with the [Elves' Fire], and the fun of the fight was completely gone.

Fish was about to give up, but after his first fight with the invisibility cloak removed, he had a vague feeling that he was going to "grow up", and then he tried twice more, and the feeling grew stronger.

On this last day, Fish was going to stop using the [Elves' Fire], and not even use his [Root Entanglement] and [Soft Stone], and he was only going to empower himself with strength and speed, and he was going to get into a serious fight against this big spider.

"It's you!"

When it found itself thrown in front of a small silver-gray cat, the captured Acromantula immediately recognized Fish,, it growled loudly and slammed its pincers against each other with a sharp metallic sound.

Coincidentally, this spider was one of the Acromantulas that Fish had encountered when he first entered the Forbidden Forest, the same one that Fish had stepped on.

Fish waved his little pink nose and recognized it too.

"Meow~!"(=｀Д′=)

The two enemies met in the same way.

Fish, who had grown to his full size, let out an eerie cat meow, his back arched, his fur bristling, his ears pressed against his head and his sharp white teeth gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Fish's four canine teeth were longer than those of a normal cat, and with his deliberately large size, he actually looked like a small tiger.

The captive Acromantula knew it was probably in bad shape, but it had never been more afraid than cruel, so it quickly swung its eight long black furred paws and attacked Fish first.

"Meow~!" ? (=｀Д′=)?

Not to be outdone, Fish went after it and fought with the Acromantula.

Seeing Fish's unusual appearance, without using the strange spell that shone fire on the Acromantula's head, many of the creatures of the forbidden forest on the sidelines became agitated.

The unicorn, Lochlin, dug his hooves into the ground as he lowered his head, pointing his front horn at the Acromantula.

"Don't be nervous" The centaur, Bane, reached out and stopped Lochlin. He looked up at the starry sky and slowly reassured him in a melodious, ethereal voice, "Fish will be fine, the moon is perfect tonight and the stars are in perfect alignment, something good will happen."

"It's amazing, this is a month when the evil stars are in full swing, but today they are all dimmed" Firenze took over, with his usual melancholy tone.

Then the centaurs present began to communicate in their soothsaying way.

Lochlin snorted, distancing himself slightly from the inexplicable group.

But though he disliked the centaurs' way of speaking, he trusted their judgment and instead of rushing to intervene in Fish's fight, he stood quietly observing.

With the unicorn's fast speed, as long as he is prepared in advance, even if Fish is in danger, Lochlin can save him in time.

Unaware of what was happening, Fish was already deep into the battle with the Acromantula.

Although he was still unable to do any damage to the Acromantula's tough armor, he could feel a surge of power surging out of his body.

This power not only kept Fish from feeling tired, but his claws were getting more and more powerful and faster.

At the same time, the flowers and trees around him began to sway gently, emitting a faint bright light that slowly flickered and gradually increased in speed, until it reached the rhythm of Fish's heartbeat.

"Ay~!" (=｀Д′=)

The moment the power inside his body burst out, Fish suddenly let out a slightly strange howl.

His body grew again, his body lengthened, his tail lengthened, and his limbs became thicker, especially his claws, which became much wider.

The round head had narrowed and the ears, which had been pointed and triangular, had become rounded at the tip.

In addition, Fish's silver-gray fur was instantly dyed gold, and the black stripes were replaced by large dark cloud-like markings that looked a bit like the pattern of a python.

At over a meter in length and with a tail of nearly a meter, Fish leapt and landed softly on the Acromantula's back, its sharp claws protruding from its unusually large fleshy palms and sinking deep into the spider's armor.

Fish opened his mouth and bit down on the long leg the spider had thrown at him, his bite was much stronger than before and his dagger-like teeth easily sliced the leg in two.

"Ouch~!" (=｀Д′=)

Excited, Fish let out that strange howl again and raised his much larger paws to throw a feline punch at the Acromantula beneath him.

The Acromantula's armor, which had been as hard as iron, was no better than a plank of wood, and Fish scratched it into a host of shocking scars, dark green blood spurting from the claw marks as the spider struggled frantically.

But Fish was not the same as in the past, and even without the [Elves' Fire], a single Acromantula could not pose the slightest threat to him.

After struggling for a while with Fish's huge claws and sharp teeth, the Acromantula fell to the ground, its eight long legs either intact or broken, shrunken and evidently dead.

Only now did Fish have time to see his own changes.

Although he could not see its face without a mirror, he recognized its identity by the huge claws, the tail, which was almost the same length as its body, and the cloud-like markings on it.

It was not the lynx he had seen earlier on television, but the clouded leopard from the book Rat's Tooth had given him, "An Illustrated Guide to the Felines of the World."

Because of its long teeth and tail, the big cat looked so powerful that Fish was impressed, and even read the text next to the picture, knowing that the clouded leopard was a very good tree climber.

In Fish's own experience, what the book says is true.

Big claws, long teeth, a long tail and a great climber, he was the kind of cat all cats dream of.

The only unfortunate thing is that the clouded leopard's limbs are relatively short, which means it has less reach when using its cat fist, and its short legs don't suit Fish's aesthetic, which prefers the long legs of a lynx.

But this new form was enough to make Fish feel happy, and he immediately jumped into the nearest tree and hopped between the trees, feeling the novelty of his clouded leopard form.

"Roarr~!" ?(=｀? ′=)?
