Herag held the wooden tray, feeling all the coldness being dispelled from his body, and the operation of Magic Power no longer felt obscure.
Ribbit! Ribbit!
The toad crawled over, and as it approached, a look of fear appeared on Shivara's face.
The toad crawled to Herag's feet, looked up, and croaked to him.
Herag didn't understand what it was trying to say, but he sensed that the toad seemed to have no malice toward him.
The toad sniffed humanly, then turned to stare at Shivara.
Shivara's black hair instantly stood on end, as if it had been electrocuted.
Ribbit!
With a croak, the toad began to crawl towards Shivara, who began to back away in terror.
Shivara crawled backward at a surprisingly fast speed, no longer slow as before.
The toad, however, moved forward leisurely, its eyes fixed on Shivara.
The world around Herag suddenly turned black and white, with flowers, grass, and trees losing all color.
