Episode 135
Trolls are natural hunters, so they mainly use spears made from animal bones. However, there were traces of sword carvings left on the trees in the troll’s territory.
It was a trace of the special entity mentioned earlier.
“Trolls use swords?”
Erdin muttered as he touched the tree.
“It’s a troll warrior.”
Jeron added in a low voice so Malcolm wouldn’t hear.
“I saw it in ‘Monster Encyclopedia.’”
It was a 1,109-page book that served as reference material for the first semester graduation exam for graduate students at the academy.
Erdin looked at Jeron with a shocked expression.
Because I didn’t know that you still remember it.
“You didn’t memorize everything, did you?”
“I’ve been thinking about traveling for a long time, so I memorized the whole thing.”
“Jaron, you had a plan.”
“What are you talking about, whispering?”
Malcolm came and snooped around.
Erdin said that he briefly talked about his future plans and revealed that the troll that left the sword marks on the tree was a special individual, the Troll Warrior. It changed the topic.
“Troll Warrior?”
“Not just one. “There must be at least three of them to divide the territory with ogres.”
Malcolm’s complexion turned slightly pale.
“You can’t even fight a troll alone, so you’re a troll warrior? “Multiple of them too?!”
“Erdin will take care of everything, so you don’t have to worry.”
“What else can I say?”
When Jeron spoke, Malcolm breathed a sigh of relief. It was absurd for Erdin, who was listening to his story from the perspective of a third party.
“Are you telling me to take on several troll warriors by myself?”
“huh. Without using Aurors. alone.”
“Oh, I’m dizzy.”
Erdin felt that Jeron’s words were sincere. It was a moment when he wondered whether he should thank him for trusting him. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
‘I guess you said it because it’s really worth a try.’
Erdin had greater faith in Geron than his distrust in himself.
What if it doesn’t work out?
‘Let’s think about it then.’
Just like that, the three entered the troll’s territory.
Not long after entering, I found the bare bones of animals and monsters hanging on a tree.
The troll’s territory has become even more clear.
If the droppings earlier were a sign of territory, the bones hanging on that tree were a warning that from now on they would be hunted as enemies invading the territory.
“It will come soon.”
Jeron, who had been spreading his spirit, noticed the troll’s approach and spoke.
Erdin swallowed dryly, took out the spear, and assembled it. Kiririk – The short spear and single pole were combined to turn into a long spear. I calmed down my nervous breathing and concentrated my mind.
Soon the troll’s unique odor became stronger.
It means that the Troll Warrior has come nearby.
“Kruk!”
“Stay still. “I will take care of everything.”
“I’ll stay quiet even if you don’t say that, so be nice.”
“You must remain still. “Okay?”
“I understand? … … “Are you really scared?”
“… … .”
Erdin did not answer. no. He couldn’t answer. Because the troll warrior appeared.
And it wasn’t just one. It wasn’t even the minimum of three that was assumed. There were as many as four. Four troll warriors slowly approached, surrounding Jeron, Erdin, and Malcolm.
Erdin tightened his hands, kicked the ground, and ran forward.
“First of all, you first!”
“Kruk?”
The Troll Warrior is crying as if he is embarrassed.
* * *
“Mr. Erdin stabbed the Troll Warrior in the shoulder with his spear!”
Malcolm clenches his fists and shouts.
Jeron unconsciously nodded and thought, ‘I have good body vision.’ As he said, Erdin had stabbed the troll warrior in the shoulder with her spear.
Why was Troll Warrior defeated so easily?
It was simple.
Usually, when people encounter a troll, they get scared or try to run away. Because I met a top predator. However, Erdin was no ordinary person, and when he made eye contact with the Troll Warrior, he rushed at him with all his might.
As a result, Troll Warrior was confused and asked, ‘What is this guy?’
‘I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or a ploy.’
Without missing the opportunity, Erdin pierced his shoulder in one go.
If I had cut off the shoulder blade, the fight would have gone a little easier, but since I didn’t use internal energy, penetration was limited. But even that was great. Spearmanship and dragon fighting began to harmonize. As a result, his spear strike became more than twice as sharp as before.
“Troll Warrior’s shoulder is regenerating! But Mr. Erdin retrieved the spear and this time stabbed it in the neck! That’s even with the troll’s regenerative power… … .”
At the sound of a voice in his ear, Jeron looked at Malcolm and thought.
‘Was this guy a KX ring in his past life?’

It was a moment of reasonable doubt.
I immediately shook my head and watched Erdin.
Erdin is capable of dealing with trolls without using his internal strength. It’s just that he doesn’t believe in himself.
Of course, this is only possible if you have a weapon.
It had to be a great weapon, not an ordinary one. Since internal strength cannot protect the weapon from breaking, the blade must not be damaged by even the slightest impact.
‘the problem is.’
It did not assume the situation of dealing with not one, but several animals at the same time. So, in short, we really don’t know what will happen. From now on, it is purely up to Erdin’s discretion.
The moment Erdin stabbed the Troll Warrior’s neck with a spear, the remaining three were running towards Erdin, ignoring Jeron and Malcolm.
“Kruk!”
“Kraralara-!”
They roared viciously and attacked Erdin. Two meter long bone knives rushed in from three directions.
“Uh, huh? Mr. Erdin lowered his head to avoid… … .”
Jeron blocked Malcolm’s voice with a curtain.
Erdin is doing better than expected, but a single mistake can hold him back and send him to the bottom. If he does not use internal energy, he will have to fight only with pure physical strength, and if he is not good at distributing his physical strength, he will get tired quickly. You must not take your eyes off it. But I kept listening to Malcolm’s words.
‘I’m having trouble concentrating.’
Malcolm’s voice had a mysterious power that made you listen.
I watch Erdin again.
In a moment, the guy was fighting back at the Troll Warrior, who was swinging a bone knife behind his back. He kicked his knee down with his foot, immobilizing his leg, and hit the guy’s chin with his knee.
The moment the shock reached his brain and he staggered back, Erdin spread his dragon trap to avoid the attacks of the guys coming from both sides.
‘Yonghyeongbo’s proficiency has increased compared to before.’
This means that it has been used consistently while requesting mercenaries. Soon, Erdin stabbed one guy with a spear and kicked another guy in the head. It was a simultaneous attack.
The last one landed and hit its head with the spear.
The four troll warriors stagger back.
Everyone has a puzzled look in their eyes.
“Your martial arts skills have improved a lot?”
Jeron was slightly impressed.
I thought it might be because I didn’t use my internal energy.
‘furthermore.’
Until now, the monsters he had mainly faced were either short or running around. In addition, they formed a group, and there has never been a case where a one-on-many confrontation took place as fair and square as it is now.
‘There was no opportunity to compete with pure body and skill.’
The sparring with Jeron himself was an exception.
As I said before, it wasn’t a fight between life and death.
Also, the difference in skill was as big as heaven and earth.
“omg. omg.”
But as the fight dragged on, Erdin became exhausted.
My breathing became a little rough.
Sweat ran down my face like rain.
“Kruk-!”
At that time, the troll warrior whose neck had been pierced recovered from the wound and stood up. Her crying sounds are muffled, as if she has completely regenerated. The guy was so angry that he twisted his sharp fangs and raised his bone knife.
“shit.”
The sound of Erdin swearing softly was heard.
At that time, Jeron tilted his head.
‘That’s strange?’
It had higher regenerative power than the Troll Warrior from ‘Monster Encyclopedia’. The guy whose throat was pierced had to lie down for at least 20 minutes. This is not simply because the bones, flesh, and muscles were damaged, but also because the vocal cords, a major organ, were injured.
Regenerating major organs takes more time than bone, flesh, or muscle. However, within a few minutes, the guy woke up with his neck regenerating.
‘The regenerative power is at least three times higher.’
Moreover, their movements have become so exquisite that it is difficult to think of them as monsters. Attack with pressure as if trying to take away Erdin’s strength. But even then, Jeron did not think that Erdin was in danger.
The problem came after that.
“Krrrralaralalala-!”
A troll warrior roared wildly, and the sound spread widely around him. Unless you were deaf, you couldn’t hear it.
Soon, a subtle black energy lingered on the bone knife.
It wasn’t aura or mana.
I didn’t notice it until it was released to the outside.
‘Named?’
Jeron quickly sent a message to Erdin.
-Approved for use in internal construction.
“yes?”
Erdin looked at Jeron in confusion. He was taken aback by the sudden change in words. However, when he discovered the black energy contained in the troll warriors’ bone swords, his complexion hardened and his strength increased.
Jeron achieved a remarkable feat. Just then, Malcolm asks, holding a sword and shield.
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
“It’s dangerous.”
“Then help… … .”
“Take over there. “I’ll take charge of this.”
“huh?”
Malcolm was puzzled when Xeron pointed his finger at something other than the troll warriors. He soon found out why. A group of lizard men appeared from one direction, and ogres appeared from the other direction. He came after hearing the Troll Warrior’s roar.
“W-Isn’t this troll territory?”
“I guess I thought it was too easy.”
Jeron said as he drew his sword.
It is not a trace marked to divide the area boundary.
‘Did you mean that they will deal with the guy who came in here?’
It makes no sense for monsters with territories to join forces.
In other words, they are being controlled by a powerful entity.
‘Probably a warlock.’
This was one of the reasons why I readily accepted Malcolm’s request.
“Kiruk!”
“Cowooooo-!”
“Ah, Brother Aaron!”
Jeron chuckled when he heard Malcolm’s voice almost scream.
* * *
The warlock frowned. The roar of the Troll Warrior was heard and the crystal ball that monitored the Everlost Mountains of the Fallen Empire was turned on. In it, Jeron – who the warlock still knows as a mercenary named Aaron Dight – and his group were seen.
“also?”
Following ‘Hunters in the Fog’, these are the guys who appeared in ‘Raging Black Wind’. If mistakes continue, it is intentional, and if coincidences are repeated, it is inevitable. The fact that he showed up this time is not a mistake or coincidence.
“After contacting Duke Furion, I defeated Bahur. After a few days of rest in the city, I received the next request and arrived in the village the day before. “I explored the surrounding area and moved right away the next day, but somehow it appeared from over there?”
The warlock was closely aware of Jeron’s movements as if he had been watching from the side.
“Should we raise the risk level to at least the same level as Duke Furion?”
