We accept the challenge.
"Grrrraaahhhhhhhhhh"
As soon as the glass container opened, a humanoid figure came walking out of the fog with soul-wrenching screams.
A 15-foot-high green monster, rubbing one of his two big yellow canine teeth, was looking at the group with his one big eye in the centre of its forehead. Its large nails extended into claws, and his over-muscular body started to bulge up even more as it slowly moved towards the group.
"Ya, so what's the plan again?" Aryan asked without even looking at the group.
Aryan was already equipped with his new iron breastplate, cuisse, knee cop, and leather boots, while the open parts were still covered by leather armour with chain mill armour beneath. He was equipped with silver claws covering his forehands.
Looking at the enemy in front, Aryan decided to heat his claws enough so that they would do some better damage while at the same time not being hot enough for others to spot their red colour and uncover his secrets.
"Plan!! It's simple's simple." Sen replied, looking at the toll ahead while loading his bows with three arrows.
"Since you guys aren't strong enough, just stay at a safe distance and do some minor distractions while you watch us kill this thing," Sen said with a smirk on his face as he ran towards the troll, shouting three fire arrows.
"Boom!Boom!Boom!"
Three flame arrows blasted as soon as they touched the troll's skin, leaving some brush marks and cut marks behind.
"Arise, my soldier's "
Aahana pointed her staff towards the ground, chanting her dark magic skill. A fog of black shadow soon covered the floor, and two wolf skeletons came out of it.
Before Toll could come out of the daze of the sudden blast, it was attacked by the skeletons of two large wolves.
"Grraaaahhh"
The troll let out a scream in pain as soon as Wolf's teeth dug into his skin. The troll was about to take two steps back to gain its balance, but soon.
"Where do you think you are going?!?" Alena said while she cast her skill.
"Venom embodiment: upright slash "
A sword covered with a green aura made a small cut vertically through the troll's skin, only to make a few drops of blood come out.
The troll was beyond angry at this moment; it let out a deep growl and grabbed an undead wolf by its neck, slamming it into the ground where Alena was standing just a second ago.
The troll then turned around and slammed his fist against the other undead wolf, crushing it into bone powder on the ground.
"Damn you," Sen said while casting the arrow barrage, fire arrow, and holy arrow one by one.
"The troll is one of the easy-kill monsters that are found on the 8th floor; these creatures have excessively tough skin and regenerative capabilities. It's hard as hell to harm them with their skill, and even if you somehow manage to do it, it will barely take four or five seconds from Max to Max to heal any kind of minor cut that these guys are achieving." Ruyi said, adjusting his rectangular glasses.
"But even with their immense strength, what makes them one of the easiest monsters to kill is their slow speed and reaction time. By the way, if you are wondering why I am saying all of this, it's because I have nothing else to do," Ruyi said, looking at the battle in front.
Aryan took a sideways glance at him before returning his gaze to the battle.
Several arrows blasted and hit the troll on its chest, barely making a centimetre or two of a cut inside the troll's body.
"Dark pulse," "Dark bomb," "Shadow shackle,"
Aahana cast three successive skills, pointing her staff towards the troll.
Soon as the skill was cast, a bunch of dark black hands materialised out of the shadow of the troll, grabbing its legs, which stopped him from evading the upcoming blasts of purple balls and black rays.
A storm of arrows continued blasting after, and a sword kept slashing its back again and again, but to the group's dismay, whatever attack they managed to land on the troll was entirely healed within the next 10 seconds, making it even angrier and more fierce.
"What in the holy f*cking world are you guys even doing?" Aryan and Ruyi spoke in annoyed voices at the same time.
"Just you guys watch a few more minutes of how we kill this thing," Sen said with a nervous smile as he resumed attacking the troll with his arrows.
"Aaaaghhhhhhhhhhhh"
The troll let out an immense scream, and its skin began to turn red while its size grew by another 5 feet.
"Crackkkk"
A cracking sound reverberated as soon as a big piece of rock hit Alena on her chest. A stream of blood surged out of her mouth as soon as she hit the floor, unconscious.
"Gaaahhhh"
The troll screamed again and ran towards Sen to catch its most irritating enemy and rip it apart.
"That's it; I am deterring," Aryan said as he gritted his teeth.
"If you can preoccupy him long enough, then I will be able to make a formation to stop its rage and regenerative abilities," Ruyi said, taking a rainbow-coloured pen out of his pocket.
"Alright then," Aryan said, activating the skills of his new leather shoes.
"Activate the wind walk."
The brown shoes turned white, and small green transparent wings appeared on their sides.
[Wind walk: increase your agility by 5 points for 2 minutes.
cooldown: 5 hours]
Aryan launched towards the troll, preparing fireballs in his hands as he said in a loud voice, "Now you stand in a corner and see how to fight an enemy, you knuckleheads!"
As soon as Aryan closed the space to 30 metres, he launched a fireball directly at the rock in the troll's hand.
"Boom"
The rock broke apart, flying towards the troll's eye, making him lose his balance for a moment.
Soon as the troll bent on its knees, Ruyi chanted a skill from his left hand while his right hand was still holding a long pen.
"Ice shaft"
Soon as the ice shaft touched the troll, its knees were covered by a thick layer of ice, stopping him for a moment or two.
"Grahhhh"
The troll screamed as it landed a punch on its knees, breaking free from the ice.
"Fireball..."
The troll was about to move in Aryan's direction but was stopped by fireballs arriving toward him.
"Boom!!Boom!!Boom"
Three fireballs successively hit the dry mud mounds on the ground, making large dust clouds that prevented the trolls from looking at their enemy.
It didn't take long for Sen to break out of his daze and follow the same technique.
Sen successively launched flame arrows and ice arrows to create thin moisture and block the troll's sight.
While both of them were diverting the troll, Ruyi was running and chanting something with the tip of a long pen emitting light on the ground, completing a circle from where he started.
"Now then," Ruyi said, pulling a blue stone out of his pocket and slamming it against the golden line.
"Discharge"
The thin golden line turned into a dark blue magic circle, and a strange pattern materialised from the border towards the centre, covering an area of a radius of 20 metres from the troll's centre.
Just as the magic circle radiated, the troll's skin turned back to green, and his body reduced in size, making him relatively tired.
"This is the chance," Ruyi shouted, and he ran away to a distance.
"Arise "
With the skill, two more undead wolves appeared from the ground and embarked towards the troll, biting its forearms.
"This is my chance," Aryan thought, looking towards the skill timer.
[Wind walk: 15 seconds left]
Aryan launched towards the troll and launched two fireballs from behind it.
"BOOM!!BOOM!!"
Although his attacks weren't potent enough to have any effect, they were enough to give him what he wanted. One fireball hit the heels of the troll's leg, while the other hit the back of the knees of his other leg, making him bend on the ground.
[10 seconds left ]
Aryan ran towards the front of the troll and launched himself towards it.
[6 seconds left]
He neared the troll and stepped on an undead wolf's back to throw himself again in the air.
[4 seconds left ]
Aryan was currently 1/2 metre above the troll's left hand, which was reaching to attack him.
He thought inside as he prepared the strongest fireball he could in his left hand.
"Boom!!"
Just when the troll's hand was about to hit him, he launched a strong fireball in his left arm to propel his body towards the troll's head and
"Slashh..."
[0 sec left; the Wind Walk skill has been set to cooldown.]
"AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHAAA!!"
The troll shrieked in pain as yellow liquid and red blood gushed out of its eyes, cut by Aryan claws.
