Talia was afraid she was a child that was once exposed from many trials in life. And one of those is when their hometown was exposed to monster waves and they were forced to leave the place due to the aftermath.
And Gibson was one of the few friends she had during her childhood and before she knew it she became dependent on him.
So when she heard the monsters that were attacking them she lost all sanity and had a mental breakdown.
Until she heard that they were in a pinch. At first she only took a look and hoped that the Proctor would help them, but things took a turn when Gibson wasn't able to take the attacks anymore.
Gathering her mana she activated her Magic Spell.
[ Fireball. ]
Grruah! Grr.
"""Talia!"""
She stood resolutely as she faced the troll with her magic.
~~~~~~~~
I am getting the hang of the attack pattern of the trolls, and little by little I am giving them more damage than before and it won't be long before I take them down.
It will only take a matter of time before I beat them including that Mutant.
'....Wait Mutant? Why did I forget? Oh no I was so focused on these Monsters that I forgot about the Mutant.'
'Don't tell me?'
When I turned my head I Saw it the destruction I had caused. It wasn't much but he was able to destroy my protection runes.
"This is bad. I need to-."
Bash
Then there I was flung by the trolls to a much further distance than before.
"Guhoh, ohoh, damn I flew far."
I was supposed to make him my trump card since this situation is suspicious. But I guess I have no choice.
"Lend me your strength buddy." I told that to him as Slowly casted my summoning magic.
[ Hear my call and be my strength "Summon".]
As I held him in my hand he changed the shape of his shell seemingly understanding my thoughts. Then I gathered my mana around as I changed my core to full blown mage.
"Here goes my treat. I hope you will alll like it! haa!"
Swish!
I threw Titan with full force which caught them by surprise. As I killed a few of them never to revive.
"...."
Gu….GRUAAAHHHhhh!
Seeing what happened to their comrade they were enraged and thought I was now defenseless due to not having Titan. But oh boy, how you guys are so wrong.
Fling, Fling Swish!
Titan came back and attacked them again and as it came towards me. I then increased the acceleration in my mind and caught Titan to only throw it back again.
In this way it won't lose its momentum and continues spinning with the same force and mana that it carried with it.
And along the way I attacked them with my sword at my other arm while using the other for the throw.
This is the first time I am trying this a single throw would have been enough but they regenerate so multiple attacks are needed.
And within these attacks it contains a great amount of heat, making the monster regeneration slow. Not to mention I somehow got lucky and hit their magic cores.
Magic cores are sought after by many. But troll magic cores are mostly non-existent since they get destroyed during battle.
But it gets compensated by the body and can be used for creating potions. Still that doesn't mean there isn't a way to get the magic stone and if lucky it could fetch a high price.
Now I dont have the luxury to get these ingredients in them so it is better to take them all out. I need to get to them fast before it's too late.

"The plan is already in motion, all that's left is to make sure it goes in the direction we want. "
"What the?"
"Hm, what is it?"
"He is crazy."
"We already know he has a storage item but this weapon is much crazier than the magic item from before."
"Is that a throwing blade? Why is it huge?"
"Not just a huge look at the damage he is giving those trolls we need to stop him."
"We can't."
"Why not?"
"We are told to only control the monsters if our existence is exposed we will be at the receiving end of the target's supporters."
"Won't the Proctor be a strong witness?"
"That is not our concern. We should deal with these people by using the monsters and nothing else. Got that?"
"Okay, but he is already at the last number of monsters, we're gonna be doomed."
"That's true but we can't move without orders, otherwise we will be doomed in a different sense."
"Gulp."
Then a gulping sound came from the assassins as they thought of a disastrous outcome for themselves.
They can only watch as Dustin takes down the trolls of the trolls.
~~~~~~~~
"Gibson, are you alright?"
"Mm Talia, why are you here?"
"To help you dummy, here take these."
Gibson then drinks the potion given to him.
"Are the others alright?"
"For now, we need to go help them."
"Okay. He answered as he got up with the huge shield in his hands."
When they arrived outside they saw the troll getting distracted as it was being harassed by the others. but although they have the upper hand they seemed to be not able to do more than tickle the monster.
[ Fireball. ]
Talia then helps them with her spells. As for Gibson
HAAaaa!
He charged at the monster making James relax a bit from the attack.
"GIbson, your back."
"Of course I will be back."
"Alright just keep on going guys we might just be able to beat it."
They continue to attack and this goes on for a few more minutes, making them tired to take another one of their attacks.
"This is bad."
"Don't give up guys, we can do this."
James continued to encourage them and then the troll raised his arms high and moved it down to the group.
Gruuaaaahhh!
Bam!
Then it slammed not the arms of the monster but its body due to being hit by Dustin's Titan boomerang.
"How are you guys!?" Dustin asked, hoping that he made it in time.
~~~~~~~~
I Blasted all the trolls but they are still moving like cockroaches. But still he continued to slice and blast them away.
But still I have a heavy feeling from looking at the distance. Just a little more please hold on. I keep on hoping that they will not give up till the very end.
'Now my only enemy numbered to less than my hand can count. A few more then I will win.'
Thinking so, I continued to attack. But then I saw a huge fireball at the base and from the looks of it it hit the mutant high troll.
Upon seeing that I felt relieved it looked like they were doing their best. Feeling hopeful, I gave it my all in defeating the remaining trolls.
"Haaaa!"
Graoor!
Just a few minutes and they were defeated. Realizing this I run fast to assist them as I throw titan to the troll.
Swish
Bam!
The troll then was knocked down.
"How are you guys!?"
"Never been better."
"Took you long enough."
"Sorry about that."
"Don't listen to them, we are glad you are here."
"Hm." I nod then saw Talia and towards her and so did she. So that fireball was from her huh?
Gggrrr.
We then heard a sound coming from the monster, meaning it's alive which is to be expected.
"Everyone in position, let's take them all down."
"""Yes."""
We then continued to attack the Mutant high troll. A normal troll is usually a D-rank monster while its evolved form the high trolls are C rank. As for those above would be a troll lord.
But there is always exceptions where a mutant rises from within having a strength borderline their current rank
And this is one of them. Right now we need to take it down for mutants like this to have a chance to reach lord class.
So beating it fast will be the Key. We continued our attack and thanks to Talia's fire power we were able to weaken it gradually.
graaaagh!
Hearing its weak cry I thought that this is it so I accumulated more mana to titan and blasted it.
Bam
Seeing that the core was destroyed we rejoiced.
"Yes its down."
"Yeah."
We were so happy, forgetting something important and that was-.
Cling!
"Oh you noticed me that fast?"
There I was blocking the attack of a mysterious woman. And from the looks of it she is the mastermind.
"So you were the one behind this?"
"Yes, ehehe." She then laughed while looking at me like a prey.
But what happened next was even more despairing than her maniacal laugh.
"AH"
"Gibson!"
"What the-?"
My allies were als attacked by people who seemed to be her subordinate.
"Everyone!" I yelled as I was concerned about their current status.
"Now, now, have fun with this big sis before taking another step for starters let's see what you look like."
We forgot something so crucial that is now about to kill us. What should I do?
