Chapter 1548: Poison Arrow Frogs
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang took the first step into the foggy area . His figure levitated into the air slightly, approximately a meter above the swamp beneath .
He chose that particular height because the fog was too dense; any higher, and he would not be able to see the surface of the swamp anymore .
In this foggy area, everyone’s Divine Telekinesis was severely constrained . The information they sensed might be incomplete; for now, they could only rely on their eyes to help .
Even though Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis was powerful beyond compare, his sensing range was limited to approximately one thousand meters only . The further the range, the more blurry the images he sensed . Some images were even distorted, so he had no way of identifying what they were .
This irritated Lin Huang because such severe limits on his Divine Telekinesis not only affected his accuracy in targeting his telekinetic flying daggers but also severely restricted his power .
“Please be careful,” Virtuoso frowned lightly and said to everyone through voice transmission, “Every area of fog here has different effects . Right now, nobody knows if this fog does anything else other than affecting our sensing techniques, such as Divine Telekinesis . Since we haven’t ascertained whether or not this fog poses any further threats, please keep the defenses on your armor activated at all times . ”
Before Lin Huang and the rest entered the foggy area, they had already taken precautions by activating their inner armor . The defense layer created by this armor automatically shielded their outer bodies .
Virtuoso reminded them again to prevent them from lowering their guard .
Lin Huang, who was at the forefront of the team, suddenly decreased his flying speed, looking through the dense fog in a specific direction .
In reality, his eyes were not able to see through the thick fog, but his Divine Telekinesis was able to sense that the area ahead was a gathering ground for Poison Arrow Frogs .
The Poison Arrow Frog was a type of monster that was inherently heavenly god-level from birth . However, unlike most heavenly god-level monsters, they were used to living in groups .

Their croaking could travel over long distances, attracting monsters of the same kind to gather .
Clearly, the Poison Arrow Frogs contaminated by Abyssal energy retained their old habits; they still enjoyed living in groups .
“There’s a situation ahead?” Tu Tong hurriedly asked, being the first to notice Lin Huang slowing down
“There’s a group of Poison Arrow Frogs ahead, at least fifty of them,” Lin Huang said calmly .
“Can we go around them?” Tu Tong wanted to know .
However, it was not Lin Huang who answered this question, but Lan Ling . “We can’t go around them . Not only are there Poison Arrow Frogs ahead, but also Enchanted Toads and Thousand-legged Snakes . The entire swamp seems to have been divided into various territories by different monsters . There are practically no areas that are safe . ”
Tu Tong was bereft of speech upon hearing that .
“We don’t need to go around them; let’s just forge straight ahead,” Virtuoso suggested, “If everyone can be a little more careful, that would be good . ”
Only after that did Lin Huang lead everyone in flying forward .
However, before they could fly very far, black arrow-like gleams sped toward them like lightning .
It was the Poison Arrow Frogs’ signature technique – the Poison Arrow Skill .
Simply put, they compressed the toxins in their bodies into fine, tiny arrows . They then imbued Divine Power, Rule Bending Power, and sequence power into those arrows, and shot them out of their mouths .
Such an attack not only contained poison that could easily kill powerhouses of the same combat strength, but it was also extremely fast . It was almost on par with an arrow cultivator of the same combat strength . The most frightening thing was that the Poison Arrow Frogs could utilize their technique continuously until they exhausted the toxins stored in their bodies .
Meanwhile, the Poison Arrow Frogs contaminated by Abyssal energy had even more terrifying poison arrows, as they contained a layer of Abyssal energy within them . Their power and corrosive abilities were undoubtedly elevated even further .
Seeing the poison arrows flying toward them, Virtuoso and the rest prepared to retaliate, but they noticed that Lin Huang had not unsheathed his sword at all .

Just when they thought that he was preparing to fight using telekinetic flying daggers, they saw Lin Huang extend a finger in the void .
With just a light tap of that finger, circle upon circle of black ripples appeared in the air . The ripples slowly spread, rapidly becoming a massive curved mirror, shielding the five of them behind it .
Virtuoso and the rest were able to see the poison arrows attacking them as they looked through the curved mirror; none of them thought Lin Huang’s defense technique was a good idea . This was because such a technique would drain a massive amount of Divine Power once it was under siege . No matter how powerful Lin Huang was, it was impossible for him to have more Divine Power than the Poison Arrow Frogs .
Therefore, theoretically, Lin Huang’s Divine Power would soon be depleted by the attacks of the Poison Arrow Frogs and the mirror-like shield would collapse sooner or later .
‘Is this fellow planning to charge ahead with the shield?’ Virtuoso and the rest did not stop Lin Huang’s near-suicidal behavior because they all had the same misunderstanding .
However, very soon, they saw something that shocked them .
When the poison arrows hit the curved mirror, they bounced back right away practically without pause . Wherever they had been shot from was where they returned to .
The group could even clearly hear the Frogs’ devastating cries from far away .
Virtuoso and the rest had no idea what to say when they saw such an extraordinary scene .
Under normal circumstances, the more frequently the Poison Arrow Frogs attacked, the more powerful their attacks would become .
However, this time, the Poison Arrow Frogs’ attacks began to weaken not long after they began .
Not only was the frequency of the attacks plummeting at a speed visible to the naked eye, but their power was also draining away .
Even the Frogs’ devastating cries decreased continuously, becoming subsequently weaker .
Two minutes later, the entire swamp fell silent after the last cry from the Frogs was heard .
Tu Tong and Lan Ling looked at Lin Huang, mouths agape, while off to one side, Saber9’s expression was a complex mixture of emotions . Virtuoso’s expression could not be seen as their face was covered by their mask . However, the rest imagined that Virtuoso was shocked as well .
From beginning to end, Lin Huang had merely held up an odd, mirror-like shield . He had done nothing else after that, and the entire group of Poison Arrow Frogs was completely annihilated within less than three minutes .
This technique was downright terrifying!
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, perhaps Tu Tong and the rest would not have believed that this was really happening right in front of them .
Noticing that the Poison Arrow Frogs were quiet now, Lin Huang released his Divine Telekinesis for a round of probing . He only recalled Mirror after making sure that the Poison Arrow Frogs were all dead . Retrieving the carcasses with telekinetic threads one after the other, he put them all away into his space storage right in front of the others .
The rest finally discovered the exact number of Poison Arrow Frogs—58 of them .
“Let’s go,” Lin Huang glanced at the rest behind him after putting away the carcasses, then hurried straight ahead .
Virtuoso and the rest followed him immediately .
“That skill that you used… what’s the most powerful attack it can defend against?” Saber9 hesitated for quite a while but finally could not restrain himself from asking .
“Ten times that of my strongest attack . ” Lin Huang did not conceal this fact; there was no need to hide such a thing anyway since, in reality, no one knew exactly how powerful his strongest attack was .
Even Virtuoso raised their brows under their mask upon hearing that .
“How about the refraction? How powerful of an attack can it refract?” Saber9 asked again .
“The same,” Lin Huang’s answer was concise .
However, Tu Tong and the rest inhaled sharply when they heard that…

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

Systrem Amusments

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.
