The electric bullets only managed to make shallow holes in its body...
"Damn it, this is gonna be a bit of a hassle."
I quickly fired again.
_Bang_ _Bang_ _Bang_ _Bang_
Why? Why isn't this damn thing getting hurt?
(POV Anna)
Kevin still hasn't come home... Why is this happening?
Why does everyone I get close to end up getting hurt?
Should I have told him the truth?
No... if I did, he would have left me too... I can't tell him, he must never know what I am. But... they might be after him now...
maybe they've already found Kevin, and that's why he hasn't come home yet...
"Nooo... this hasn't happened to Kevin,"
Anna screamed, trying to convince herself that they hadn't found Kevin. But the things that had happened before made her unsure of what she was saying...
...Flashback...
"Anna, come here,"
a boy dressed in knight's armor called out to me from a distance.
"Okay, Nicholas, I'm coming,"
I said, picking the last flower and adding it to the bouquet I had made
I smiled and walked towards Nicholas, holding up my bouquet and shouting
"Brother, look at this beautiful bouquet I made!"
But... my smile didn't last long.
"Anaaaa, run.."
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, one of my brother's hands had been cut off and he was kneeling in front of a woman dressed in black and the woman had put a sword next to my brother's neck.
I didn't want to see what was going to happen... that's why I closed my eyes with fear and sat on the ground
Is it over?
I hope my brother killed them all...
Yeah, my brother is super strong, he can beat them all
But...
these were just the thoughts of a teenage girl who wished it were true
Reality is much harsher and doesn't let this girl get what she wants
And when Anna opened her eyes, she saw her brother's body, but...no head
"How..how did this happen...da..dash?"
Anna's voice was barely above a whisper, looking at her brother's lifeless body with a mixture of fear and wonder, the moment she saw this horrible scene.
It's as if all the memories he had with his brother passed before his eyes... all those happy moments were never going to happen again.
The woman in black, who had been looking at Nicholas's lifeless body until then, turned her head towards Anna, Anna could feel her bloodlust well, even though they were far apart.
In the blink of an eye, the woman was standing right in front of Anna and was only a few centimeters away from her
"You...who are you?"
The woman wiped Anna's tears with her finger and said
"Don't worry my child, I am my mother and I have come to take you home with me"
....End of Flashback.....
(POV Kevin)
Ugh... This thing is so damn tough... We've been fighting for about twenty minutes now.
Yuki can hurt it and has managed to cut off its arms and legs a few times.
But this damn thing quickly regenerates itself, turning this fight into a war of attrition.
I look at Yuki, who's sweating and panting.
If we don't finish this fight soon, who knows what will happen to us.
The only way to beat it is to destroy its core.
But since it's an evolved troll, its core moves around inside its body, making our job even harder.
But...
There's still a way, though it's risky, but it's worth it.
"Yuki, fall back!"
Yuki, who was ready to attack, quickly leaps back a few meters at my command.
"Damn troll, I'll destroy you myself."
Then I run towards the troll.
The troll looks at me with intense anger.
"Foolish creature."
It says this and raises its fist to crush my head.
It's time!!
Just as its hand gets close to me, I send my gun into the system space and pull out a poisoned dagger.
"Yuki, attack its head!"
Just as its hand was about to hit my head, I used the dagger to slash its wrist...
Even though its punch landed on me, I managed to move my head out of the way at the last second to avoid serious damage.
"Huff... Huff..."
I hope we succeeded...
With stress, I look at the giant troll...
"That's it... We did it."
Huff, finally, we did it.
