Just when the troll's hand was about to hit Aryan, he pointed his left hand towards the right and launched the biggest fireball he could make in the meantime.
"BOOM!!"
Aryan knew that any of his attacks on the normal part of the troll's body would be useless, so instead he launched a fireball towards his right and, with strong recoil, threw his body towards the troll, dodging the troll's attack in the meantime.
"Slashhh!!"
The next second, Aryan appeared a few metres ahead of the troll, while the sound of a strong slash was followed by blood and yellow liquid coming out of the troll's eyes.
'Aragghhhh!!"
The troll screamed in pain as his vision went black and his regenerative skill stopped working.
"I am out of fuel; you guys handle it from here, " Aryan said, running away from the battleground.
"Alright then," Sen said, pointing his bow towards the sky.
"Multiple Flame Barrage"
'Swish!!" One arrow left his bow, moving towards the sky, and "boom!" the arrow blasted into ten to fifteen small fire arrows aiming towards the troll's eyes, causing successive blasts.
More red blood gushed out of the troll's eyes like a shower, making it fall on his back.
"Shadow shackle " "Shadow devour "
Aahana cast two skills, pointing her staff towards the troll. Soon many hands materialised out of the troll's shadow, pinning it on the ground as a gigantic dark snake made of black smoke came out of Aahana's staff.
The gigantic black snake glided through the air and collapsed on the troll's body, spreading black fog. The black fog continued to encircle the troll's body before it penetrated through its nose, mouth, ears, and skin pores. The troll's body became black before slowly merging into his own shadow, leaving a blue orb behind.
When the dark smoke left the battlefield, Aahana almost collapsed on the ground, inhaling long breaths as buckets of sweat poured down her face.
Aryan and Ruyi had already escorted Alena to the healer, while Sen went on to pick up the orb before coming back to Aahana. She sat on the ground for a few minutes before both of them moved towards the healer's chamber to reunite with the group.
"How is she?" Sen asked with a worried expression while walking towards Aryan.
Aryan, who was just walking forward and back nervously holding a piece of paper in his hand, saw Sen, and an idea flashed in his mind.
"OH!! Man, you finally came back," Aryan said, wiping out a sweat on his forehead as he walked towards Sen.
"Damn, bro!! "You don't know how worried I was " Aryan said with a relaxed smile while grabbing both of Sen's shoulders. " For a second, I thought I would have to pay the hospital bills!" Man, you are a saviour."
"Now go pay for your girlfriend's expenses. Bye," Aryan said, moving towards the corridor.
He only took a few steps before he was interrupted by a cherry red Sen. "It's not like that. We aren't dating."
"So it's a one-side crush only... jeez, then just ask her out already, dumbass... Now go pay for the bill." Aryan said, pushing him towards the compartment.
"No, it's not like that either. We are just childhood friends," Sen said, looking at the ground in embarrassment.
"Ohh!! You meant to say childhood crush!d crush!" Aryan said he was punching Sen on the back "Don't worry ! "Your bro here is an expert when it comes to girls and relationships." [ #Stright lie]
"Rule no. 1 to empress the girl: never let her pay for her bills." Aryan said in an excited, loud voice, "Now go pay for her expenses and show her that you can handle her expenses for life. Go, my friend, show her how reliable of a man you are." Aryan said, "Absolute bullcrap," before he ran away.
Sen's face turned from cherry red to a golden glow of confidence as he thought about what Aryan had just said.
"He is right! If I want to impress her, I have to show her how reliable of a man I am " Sen said in confidence, just to turn around and see Ruyi standing against the wall and Aahana's face red in embarrassment.
Analysing the situation, Ruyi thought it was better to explain his side before it was too late.
"Although my ears did receive some certain information, my brain didn't find it useful enough to store it in memory, so your little secret is secure with me, I guess," Ruyi said, adjusting his glasses while he wrote something in his diary.
Strong men need to show how reliable they are. Point noted.
As for Aahana, she just looked around at the walls and moved in another direction.
Sen didn't say anything and went towards the compartment and asked the nurse for the bill.
"What in the holy freaking world is this thing?! Do these numbers even exist?" Sen shouted, looking at the slip in his hand. [ Type 'F' in the comments for peace of his soul.]
*********
After being done with the medical room, the group moved into the waiting area for the guild master to arrive. Only guild masters have the authority to officially announce the rank of the new clan and approve it on paper. The group was sitting on waiting chairs when they heard a coughing sound.
"Hello, mai, young blood. It's a pleasure to meet you." A chubby man with blond hair and red skin entered the room, announcing his presence.
"Wait a minute, I know this voice," Aryan thought to himself as he turned to look at the figure coming out of the door.
"It's most pleasurable too. See you pass this trail."
-This face!! I can't be mistaken. Aryan's eyes opened wide as he saw the face of the guild master.
This voice is hard to hear, tough to read, and impossible to understand. It's definitely him, Aryan thought.
"I am the Guild Master of Adventure Guilde," the blond, chubby man continued.
"You can address me as Ronald J. Trump," the man announced with a smile.
While the whole group was still trying to figure out what he just said, a huge smile appeared on Aryan's face as he rubbed his eyes again and again.
This is it! He is my way out of here. If I ever want to go back to my world," Aryan thought, almost laughing on his own.
[A/N: These lines are solely made for entertainment, so please don't take them the wrong way. I personally don't hate any leaders or political figures in the world. not even 'Kim Jon Unh"... or maybe.. ok, just make an exception, except for that I don't hate anyone else... Enjoy].
"It's my utmost pleasure to meet you in person, sir, " Aryan said as he bowed down a little to pay respect.
"Ohoho, no worries. The pleasure is all mine," Trump said with a polite gesture.
"So as I was saying , you guys managed to pass the trail, which makes you one of the official clans in the empire. "Since your difficulty level wasn't that tough, I will give you a 926 rank." Trump said, looking at a paper.
"So tell me, young ones... What name did you decide for your new clan?" The chubby blonde man asked again.
The group looked at each other as Sen nodded towards Aahana.
Aahana took the hint as she stood up from her seat and took a step forward as she said, "I, Aahana Whitlock, as the chosen leader of the group, declare our clan name."
