Ding!

[The [King of the Spirit Lake] is furious over your insolence!]

[His Magical Aura is boosting his Light Attribute Magic Damage by +100%!]

[Several beams of light are being fired at you!]

[Cease at once before you awaken his fury completely!]

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Several enormous rays of light were fired towards me, exploding into loud, light explosions that blew away everything sitting around us, Titania and everyone else had to quickly fly away from the utter chaos caused by this fish’s magical power.

“ROOOAARRR!” Silver roared, rushing forwards. Moving her gigantic tail, she quickly shielded me from most explosions, while my barriers of spiritual energy did the rest.

“Silver, don’t let it escape!” I said.

“ROAR!” Silver nodded, using her water-manipulation magic to quickly control the lake’s water and force it to wrap around the Golden Koi, stopping its movements downwards.

“GLUOOP! GRAAH!” The Koi furiously roared back at me, suddenly, leaping towards me instead of constantly trying to escape.

SPLAAAASH!

“E-Eh?!”

“GROOOAAAAHHH!!!”

Its gigantic jaws opened, about to swallow me whole! It even jumped out of the water easily to just eat me?!

“Hah, as if that’s going to work anyways!” I smiled confidently, imbuing the power of the Ice Element into my fishing rod from my new armor, and then suddenly freezing half of the Golden koi’s face!

FLAAASH!

“G-GLUOOOP?!”

SPLASH!

It instantly retreated the moment it felt threatened, ice was dangerous against fish monsters, mostly because they were covered in water and were always on water themselves, which can obviously freeze quickly.

FRSHHH! SPLAAASH!

However, not even five seconds after that while I kept trying to pull it out, it jumped into the air again, its eyes shone with golden light, firing literal lasers out of them!

FLAAASH! FLAAASH!

BOOOOOMM!!! BOOOOMMM!!

“O-Oi, you’re terrorizing the entire forest!” I complained, pushing more and more. I quickly started to activate several skills at once, channeling the power of Nature’s Assimilation and Spirit Fusion, strengthening myself further and further…

“Just… Be a good fish!” I roared, quickly stepping out of the ground and beginning to push towards the forest, dragging my own fishing rod arm and the fish, incapable of moving as much as it wanted thanks to Silver’s water magic restraining it, was quickly dragged off-shore!

SPLAAAASH!

RUMBLE!

The huge, over ten meters tall Golden-scaled Koi fell into the dry shore, beginning to move around angrily, shaking the entire ground, and groaning while failing to breath properly.

“I-I’ve got you now…” I laughed rather evilly. “Hahaha…!”

Wait, what, this guy was a Boss? I guess… well, it was the King of the Spirit Lake after all but still, it is a bit exaggerated… Ah, it was Level 100, huh?

“GLUOOP! GLUOOP!”

It was still shaking and moving around, making the entire shore tremble.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to end your suffering.” I said while taking out a big knife from my Inventory. “I’ll make you into a delicious fillet, fishie.”

“GLUOOOOOOP!!!” The fish suddenly looked at my knife in horror.

“W-Wait! Planta!” Suddenly, Titania stopped me.

“Huh? What happened?” I wondered.

“T-That’s the King of the Spirit Lake, he’s… the descendant of an ancient lineage of intelligent fish monsters that protected this lake when it was huge…” Sighed Titania. “I-I can’t believe they still have a descendant…”

“Eh? Intelligent?” I wondered. “But he can’t even talk…”

“He can! You just have yet to learn to speak with animals.” Titania sighed. “[Vocalization]”

Titania suddenly conjured a mysterious spell into the huge fish, and then, his groans became words!

“UWAAAAGH! P-Please don’t kill meeeee! I don’t want to dieeeee! That worm looked so tasty, I can’t believe it was just a flower!” He started to cry.

“Y-You can really talk?!” I was in shock.

Silver started to look at the fish while drooling, licking her jaws…

“GRRRHHH…!” She slowly opened her jaws, about to give the fish a nice nibble.

“W-Wait a second Silver, don’t eat him!” I sighed. “Agh, I can’t just… kill this intelligent fish now!”

“GRAARRGH?!” Silver complained.

“You can eat those over there!” I said, pointing at my other catches.

“Raarrr…” She sighed in disappointment but went to eat anyways.

The fish suddenly started to cry right away.

“UWAAAAH! Thank you so MUCH! Y-You’re such a kindhearted soul! I was so, SO afraid of getting eaten by that thing! A-And I can assure you that I DON’T TASTE GOOD AT ALL!” He started crying. “P-Please don’t eat me!”

“W-We are sorry for this mistreatment, King of the Lake.” Titania sighed. “We just… didn’t thought it was you because you weren’t even speaking until now even when I used the spell!”

“I-I… well, I tend to get a bit wild when I find a tasty worm…” The Golden Koi sighed. “B-But I am intelligent!”
