It had been complete negligence—or perhaps hubris, but that amounted to the same thing. No joke: right now, Stina was in the biggest bind of her life.

“Why is this thing even here...?! This is stupid!”

But screaming insults accomplished nothing. She didn’t even know whether this thing understood language.

She glared at the voidlike thing before her eyes and hit the thing wrapped around her with all her might, but to no effect. If only she could pick up the spear at her feet...

“But poking around with that thing is what got me into this mess in the first place! How stupid can I be?!”

Self-deprecating words flew from her mouth, but they wouldn’t improve her situation. She clenched one hand into a fist and swung it up as if to vent her anger...but the instant she went to swing it down again, her feet slipped.

“Dang it...!”

She hastily regained her balance, but now she was not only in a weird position, she’d been pulled ever so slightly closer to it. Even if she crouched down, her spear was out of reach now. Maybe if she’d stretched her arm as far as she could, but that wasn’t possible in this situation. Picking it up wouldn’t have helped anyway, but being completely separated from her spear hit her hard—even if poking this giant frog with that spear was the reason this had all happened in the first place.

As its name suggested, the monster before her appeared to be nothing but a huge frog. However, anything thrown into its now-open mouth would be dissolved instantly, creature or monster; Stina would be lucky to last a few seconds.

But her attempts to escape were thwarted for the simple reason that its tongue was currently wrapped around her and pulling her in.

The giant frog’s tongue was coated in a mucus that had a gluelike effect on its prey. It also caused attacks to slide off, so blades had little effect on it. Maybe if Stina had attacked with perfect form, she could have wounded it, but she couldn’t hope for that at this point.

It was also highly resistant to magic, which made it a formidable monster. Even a high-ranking adventurer, let alone a mid-ranking one, would have been annihilated by it if they weren’t careful.

But despite their power, giant frogs weren’t generally regarded as dangerous. That was because they had a docile nature. They were typically curled up asleep, and they wouldn’t do anything when you walked past them.

However, if you accidentally hit them with a strong impact, it was over. The giant frog would immediately awaken, and its normally closed eyes would open for a few seconds.

The giant frog’s eyes had a powerful binding effect. Even if you had strong resistance, that was irrelevant; it bypassed that resistance and rendered its target immobile for those several seconds. The rest was simple: the frog wrapped its tongue around the prey while it was unable to move and ate it.

Stina had barely avoided that fate because she’d leapt backward as soon as she’d noticed the giant frog.
