Cheat Awakening

Seeing the Catfish coming out Myne first threw all 50 or so adult head-size fireballs at the catfish, then he quickly stole its Earthquake and Presence Detect・Large, but it seemed to be aiming for that moment as well, and a gigantic water spray shot out from the catfish's mouth towards him at extremely high speed, interrupting him for stealing its last skill.

Soon both Myne's fireballs and the catfish water burst attack collide with each other, creating a loud explosion.

Boom!

"Is that Magic・Water Colossal skill? This is quite powerful... Huh? F*ck it coming toward me."

Although Myne's fireballs were a lot in quantities but in front of the catfish water attack which was many times more powerful compared to Myne's attack, as a result, it blasted Myne's fireballs away and made its way toward him at a very high speed.

It is too close I can't avoid it, Myne thought seeing the water attack coming at him, and hurriedly use his most powerful defensive skill Unbeatable.

Bang!

The sound of Myne receiving a direct hit from the high-pressure water resounded all around, and then followed by the sound of Myne's smashing into trees and destroying them also come just after that.

Thanks to using Unbeatable skill in advance, Myne didn't receive any damage at all, only his clothes weren't as lucky as his body, and they get destroyed very badly.

"Cough! F*ck, the water shot by that damn fish got into my mouth, so disgusting," Myne said while trying to vomit all the water goes in his mouth but sadly nothing come out.

It's good that Aisha is not here, otherwise, if she had seen me like this, she would have been laughing holding her stomach, Myne thought while standing up from the top of a bash full of thorns on which he landed, it is thanks to his luck that his Unbeatable skill made him Invinsble for 30 seconds otherwise he might not have only two holes on his body currently.

But unknown to Myne's weird skill, The kids who saw him send fly by the catfish attack and land on the bush full of thorns hurriedly run toward him while howling at the water's surface, and saying Myne "Don't die, don't die," in his head non-stop.

"Hey, do I like so weak to you all that I would die just with some water? Remember If I hear such wretched words from your mouth again, then you guys might forget delicious food as well, got it?" Myne said while lightly flicking his finger on the kid's foreheads one by one, before walking toward by the pond.

"But Myne you were hit by such a powerful attack, are you sure you don't need our help?" The biggest kid asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, I was a little careless before and get hit by its attack, next time when it comes out from the water, you will see how I beat the hell out of that damn fish," Myne said without looking at the kids while waving his back of the hand toward them, trying to look cool, but with his tattered clothes which made him look like a bagger, it hard to imagine him cool from any angle.

After Myne finished talking with the kids, he again confirmed the catfish's location with its own Presence Detect ( Large ) skill and found that for some reason it was behaving very weirdly under the water.

I think after losing its Presence Detect skill, it becomes very difficult for it to locate my position from under the water, in that case, if I wait, it'd probably lose its patience and come out to attack me very soon which is what I want, Myne thought with a smirk.

Just as Myne expected, The catfish soon started moving towards the water's surface near Myne's position, and once again like previous times, it leapt out of the water's surface with a terrifying force and looked at Myne with its red eye, perhaps it understood that its skill not working must be related to Myne.

But unlike the catfish Myne who was waiting for it to come out, as soon as he saw the catfish he quickly steals its only remeaning Magic・Water Colossal skill without fail, making it a normal big fish it should be and then while the catfish was still in the air looking at him he didn't forget to show it the middle finger with an evil smile on his face, although Myne know that there is no way the catfish could understand meaning behind his gesture but still to vent anger in his heart he did it.

Since this time the catfish only come out to pinpoint Myne's location so it didn't attack him, nor did it know that from now on it couldn't attack anyone with its already stolen skill even if it wanted to, and soon fell back into the water.

Myne who was enjoying the catfish's annoying and angry look, waited a while and saw the catfish jumping out of the water again, and trying to attack him but the only thing that escaped from its mouth was air, making it dumbfounded.

"Haha, look at its face, this damn fish now probably wondering why its skill suddenly stops working. Okay, time to end this, I am already getting bored from this," Myne mumbled and just when the catfish was about to fall back into the water, he uses Unique Magic・Space-Time and opens a portal on the surface of the water just right under the catfish butt.

As Myne did that a black vortex appeared in its path, and the catfish leapt into it.

Myne then turn around toward the backside and looked toward the forest direction, where the other end of the portal just 20 away from him already opened and soon a big fish come out from it and fall on the ground.

"Hohoho, looked at it, a fish on the ground, I wonder how did you come here big guy," Myne after coming close to the catfish start mocking it which was suffering from the lack of water, and jumping up and down trying to get back into the water.

"Well although you are a bad guy who wanted to kill me, but I can understand you are just trying to hunt some game for dinner, so I won't make things difficult for you, after all, I am a good guy, according to my wives and a certain beast family at least," Myne said to the catfish who was looking at him with hatred while stealing his abilities as well, and then he uses AoE Wind Maximum sanding a 10 meters tall tornado toward it, which within the 20-second turn a big terrifying catfish to a dead fish.

"Phew, it's over, nowadays even little fishes give more trouble than people," Myne said jokingly while shaking his head.

As Myne said that, the kids who were sitting under a big tree run towards him with great momentum.

The youngest one among three directly jumps on Myne's embrace and starts licking his face intensely while asking in his same childish voice...

"Are you okay? Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Was it painful?"

"Okay, easy little guy, I'm all right! Didn't you see everything? This little fish didn't even get a chance to attack me again before I hit it, so how could it hurt me? Myne said with a forced smile while Reminding himself that he shouldn't be angry with the kid for licking his face like candy because he's just worrying about his safety.

"Myne you are really awesome, you just teleported that fish out of the water..."

"Yes, and that big tornado was also very terrifying, I don't think we can survive if get caught in such a dangerous attack..."

As kids finally acknowledge Myne's power, a proud smile appears on his face, just like how a Father told his children his time's joke and one day they understand it and laugh while holding their stomachs making him so happy that he can't describe it in words.

"Okay, let's end today's hunting game, shall we? It is already late getting dark and your Mother will be angry if I didn't send you all back before it gets completely dark," Myne said with a smile after putting the little guy on the ground.

After this Myne sent a telepathic message to Fenrir and informs her about it so she can come and pick them up, but she turns out to be lazier than Myne expected and told him to send the children home by himself, when Myne ask the reason she said that she is busy dealing with some private business.

"We'll guide you to our home!"

Since Kids are connected telepathically with them, they also listen to their conversation and become very excited knowing that Myne is going to their home and hurriedly spoke together.

"By the way, what does your Mother do all day long? Since people haven't seen her for decades I don't think she wanders around too much, right? Myne who felt a little suspicious when Fenrir told him that she was busy asked while changing his clothes since the previous one got destroyed by the catfish attack.

"Well, most of the time she sleeps at home, and only goes out at night to bring food."

"She rarely leaves the home in the daytime. Once I ask the reason, and she said that she is observing everything in the forest with her divine sense, but I don't know if she is telling the truth or just wanted to get rid of my questions."

"I think she might really use her divine sense in the home rather than sleeping all day otherwise how can she know everything we do outside?"

"Maybe you are right."

Hearing Kid's reply, Myne also felt that what they said indeed make sense otherwise she wouldn't easily find out that her children get kidnap, and come to save them. And also when he brings the kids to his home for a bath, she immediately found that they are not in the forest.

"If she is observing everything from start to end, then would she scold me for making her children work like slaves in order to earn more money? While I myself just enjoying the fruit of their labour? Myne thought helplessly while following the kids who were excitedly guiding him towards their home.
