Guts smiled as he sat down in a chair. Dragon Slayer rested on the table, pulsing with life as if its consciousness was like a baby talking to him.
"Yes, I know. You will grow up soon. The trolls will make you much stronger."
Dragon Slayer has been with Guts for 2 years by now. The two of them went through life-and-death struggles for years without stopping. The number of ghosts, demons and creatures the blade has killed is in the thousands.
Not to mention that it has fused with 3 Beherits. The connection between Guts and Dragon Slayer is close. The weapon might even be his son if Guts was being honest.
"Is he alright?"
Serpico asked with concern as he looked at Shierke. Shierke sighed as he looked at Guts and the Blade. She saw that the blade was talking with Guts like a spirit.
"Yes. The sword is just talking to Guts right now."
"Huh? I guess that's not weird at all..."
Serpico scratched his head as his closed eyes narrowed. Casca and Farnese were together. Farnese was taking care of Casca and making sure that Casca did not do anything that could hurt her.
Thwack!
"Everyone. I have something to give you."
Shierke suddenly spoke up as she showed a piece of hair to everyone. The hair was a conduit for allowing Shierke to send her flow into the mind of the group. Allowing for long-distance talk.
"Tie this around your finger. And I could then talk to you from a long distance."
Guts took a piece of hair. He taught about what Shierke said and tied the hair around his pinky finger. Isidro grumbled as he looked at Shierke.
"Whatever. It's not even that impressive!"
Isidro still took the hair and tied it on his finger under Shierke's disdainful stare. Guts smiled as he looked at the 2 kids. Serpico, Farnese and Casca did the same.
Time passed as the team rested even more. They have nothing to do, Except for Serpico and Isidro training with their weapons.
"AHH!!"
Isidro was smacked on the head as a wood fell on him. He yelped in annoyance as he rubbed the spot where he was hit. He was trying to practice his sword swings.
"Isidro. When you try cutting something, make sure that your wrist is not bent. You could break it or twist it if your swing goes wrong."
Giuts said as he looked up from Dragon Slayer. The sword can only talk for a few minutes every day since it's still like a baby. It grows more and more as it absorbs monsters.
"Yes. Master!"
Isidro nodded as he stood up. He took his dagger in his hand and was about to resume his training when Guts suddenly stood up. His eye looked towards the east.
"Alright, everyone. Looks like the trolls are making their moves about now."
Guts could hear the rustle of hundreds of footsteps as the trolls ran towards the village. They were hungry and needed food. The food source for them was the village.
"Serpico, and Isidro. You stay with the group since you can now protect them. I will go and make sure that the town is safe."
Serpico sighed before he agreed with a smile. Isidro smirked as he flashed Guts a thumbs up.
"Don't worry! Casca is safe with me."
Guts smiled.
"Shierke. Could you summon a barrier around the room to keep everyone safe?"
Shierke nodded her head with a tiny smile on her lips. She was finally useful to Guts. She closed her eyes and brought her staff in front of her, beginning her chant for the barrier.
Guts left the room as he went outside. The village was overrun by trolls and the villagers who tried to run away. The screams of people were defending as they tried to run.
"You monster!"
"My wife!"
"My husband!"
Guts sighed as he looked at the trolls. His eye suddenly turned red as he stepped forward. Dragon Slayer was already in his palm, connected to his very soul.
"Go get them."
Guts whispered to Dragon Slayer. With a thunderous pulse, Dragon Slayer was hurled by Guits at the speed of sound. The trolls and the villagers stopped what they were doing due to the loud sound.
"What was that?!"
"I don't know. But we should run!"
Suddenly a giant sword sliced the tens of trolls running after the villagers in half. The sword continued its way, spinning and cutting everything in its way to shreds.
"Return."
Dragon Slayer pulsed before it flew back towards Guts. The villagers looked towards Guts, and they trembled in fear. Guts could not care less what they think of him.
"Devour."
The bodies of the dead trolls floated up before they turned into a bright red liquid. Dragon Slayer pulsed as the liquid entered its tip, absorbing the life force in the liquid.
The trolls watched in fear before they turned around to run away. Guts did not give them the chance. With a step forward, he vanished with the strike of thunder, leaving in blood.
Dragon Slayer sliced through everything in its way. The trolls fell into their own pool of blood, not understanding what even happened before they were killed.
Every single second that passed, Ten times as more trolls fell onto the ground. The villagers watched with horror as the supernatural scene was burned into their minds.
"Witch... He is a witch!!!"
The monk of the village suddenly shouted, his cap on his bold ass head while the bible was held tightly to his chest. The others surrounding him nodded their heads robotically.
Boom!
The ground shook as Guts came to a stop. His red eye tracked the bodies on the floor, noting that every single Troll was dead. His dragon slayer pulsed as it started absorbing the bodies.
"This power... It feels like I could destroy this village within seconds..."
Guts muttered in fascination as he clenched his fist. The air was squeezed to its limits under his palm before it exploded with enough energy to kill a man!
Boom!
Guts looked up with a smirk as an entire house was crushed into bits like nothing. Out of the rubble smashed through a huge monster bigger than an entire house.
An Ogre!!!
Back with Shierke and Evarella. The two of them finished setting up the magic barrier. A bright light flashed before covering the house in a forcefield that could keep ethereal bodies out.
Opening her eyes. Sheirke suddenly felt a surge of Od from outside. She looked outside with caution and froze as she saw Guts standing in front of an Ogre.
It was not over yet as a kelpie floated up from the water. Guts smirked as he looked at the two monsters in front of him. His red eye glowed eerily as he watched them.
"Shierke. Watch this."
Guts looked back. His eyes locked with a shocked Shierke. Before she can question him, his figure vanishes from its place. The world turned silent.
Boom!
A white blinding light flashed in the village. The ogre and the Kelpie were both turned into pools of blood. The village and the surrounding area shook from the force.
Hundreds of meters outside the village. Guts let out a breath as he climbed out from a crater he smashed with his body. His strength increased such that he could barely control it.
"Hmmm? Did I cause all this?"
Guts asked nobody as he looked at the crater around him. The crater was 1 hundred wide and 20 meters deep. Cracks and ditches spread out from the crater for another hundred meters.
"Damn, I'm strong!"
