Chapter 64 Chapter 63 Kill
That guy shrank his neck in fear.
George said, “I don’t know him.”
The multi-eyed demonized troll walked over, casting a large shadow over George: “Who are you?”
George couldn’t lie, and Ji Ma quickly came over, smiling: “Humans are foolish, it’s normal to be frightened and have delusions when they’re about to die.”
This was why Ji Ma disliked rescue missions. It’s easy to guess with a little thought; this group of weak humans worries and panics, and once there’s a glimmer of hope for rescue, they lose their reason like a drowning person and grasp tightly onto whoever is trying to save them, dragging them down into the water as well.
As long as one person loses rationality, it can shatter the lies she painstakingly weaved.
The multi-eyed demonized troll eyed the two suspiciously with its five eyes, and finally nodded its large head, saying, “True.”
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the multi-eyed demonized troll suddenly lifted its giant club and swung it forcefully into the crowd, striking a woman wrapped in animal hides. The sound of her spine breaking echoed, a dent appeared in her back, and her head hung forward, unable to scream from the pain.
The earlier man turned pale in fear, shrank his head, and disappeared into the crowd.
The multi-eyed demonized troll seized a woman lying on the ground, convulsing, and lifted her, preparing to devour her, saying, “I’m going to eat a person, do you want a bite?”
The woman gaped in horror, her eyes wide, crying out like a fish on a cutting board.
George drew his great sword. “Give her a quick death.”
“Why?”
“Otherwise, you will die a very unpleasant death.”
The multi-eyed demonized troll grinned, dropping the woman with the broken back onto the ground. She flailed her limbs, trying to escape, but her spine was broken.
Ji Ma glanced at the crowd, the troublemaker man had vanished somewhere. She muttered under her breath, “Disaster bringer.”
How could George tolerate that?
He stepped forward, swinging his sword in a holy slash towards the multi-eyed demonized troll, which jerked back and swung its giant club in counterattack. A flash of white light appeared, and the club split in half, its cross-section charred, leaving a deep bone-revealing wound on its arm that emitted white smoke.
“Kill them!” the multi-eyed demonized troll charged towards the other trolls.
But the eyes on its back warned it of a sudden stab from behind, followed by a sharp pain, and its vision went black as a sucking force drained its blood from the wound.
It swung its club backward, striking the waist of one of the trolls.
Invisible and stealthy, Ji Ma gracefully flew up, wielding a branch-axe spear, with a fresh red tongue extending from the axe, licking the blood.
Below, the multi-eyed demonized troll looked up and saw Ji Ma’s bloodstained axe-spear, cursing, “Liar! You’re one of the blood gods’ people!”
Just then, George crouched down and forcefully snapped the woman’s neck, ending her suffering, then shouted at the multi-eyed demonized troll, “Give it your all!”
Several trolls charged forward, swinging their clubs toward him. He transformed into a beam of light, darting through the trolls, and struck another holy slash against the multi-eyed demonized troll. However, blessed by the master of uncanny transformation, he foresaw the fatal blow and dodged it, losing only an arm as he dove into the throng of trolls.
For a moment, George hacked left and right, delayed by the trolls.
The scene was chaotic; humans attempted to flee while the trolls surged toward George, Jenna, and Eve Frostleaf, hitting anyone in their way with a club, sending them flying or leaving them severely injured.
In the air, Ji Ma realized the situation was dire.
The trolls were mixed with humans, and Jenna would definitely not cast large-scale destructive spells. She herself couldn’t call down “blood rain” without harming survivors; being unintentionally aggressive was a small matter, but being ostracized by the entire group was serious. She didn’t want to achieve victory at the cost of her relationships.
Though there were only about sixty trolls now, as soon as the lot that had been led away returned, along with the scouts bringing reinforcements, they would be in trouble.
They could only retreat, taking only a few survivors back, all of this because of one foolish person.
Ji Ma cursed under her breath, hovering in the air, looking toward the distant trolls that had been misled, who were still happily running and hadn’t yet realized that a battle had broken out behind them. George, Jenna, and Jenna’s back-to-back stance were engaged with the trolls.
She did not join the fray, casually cursing a few trolls. With a strong flap of her wings, she flew directly toward the trolls that had been misled, catching up swiftly, nearly reaching them in just two minutes.
During her flight, several battle roars echoed from behind, the trolls’ war cries prompting some trolls to stop and look back, spotting the chaotic battle in the distance, where light pollution occasionally “bounced out” from the mass of trolls.
“Hey, stop! It seems like something’s wrong behind us.”
“Are they fighting?”
“The fat-tongued male troll is flying over!”
After Ji Ma landed, the nearby trolls quickly distanced themselves from her.
A long-horned troll approached, asking, “What happened?”
The battlefield was about a kilometer away; anyone with decent eyesight could see that a fight was underway. The trolls swung their clubs, and George wielded his giant sword, “cutting down” the trolls.
“They’re tangled up,” Ji Ma said. “The hard-shelled black orcs and the trolls with eyes all over their bodies meet each other and find it enjoyable, so they’re getting physical to show friendship.”
Not far off in the battle, a troll’s head was punched into its chest by George, with human survivors escaping through the gap.
“Then why does it seem like they are fighting?” the long-horned troll asked. “The humans ran away.”
“Who knew? Once they start fighting, they respect each other, so they proposed some friendly interaction.” Ji Ma continued to lie, “First, they let all the humans go, and then they compare who captures more humans. Whoever catches the most gets them, so you see everyone swinging their clubs wildly now.”
Several trolls showed expressions of envy.
Nearby, a troll’s eyes were struck by a ghostly blue arrow, and it fell straight down.
They took no offense; after all, trolls had powerful healing abilities.
Meanwhile, in the distant battlefield.
The multi-eyed demonized troll had lost both arms and was wondering why those trolls hadn’t come to assist him; he took a moment to glance.
Hey, those trolls chasing the “blessings” were actually pointing and watching from a distance.
Angered, he roared, “Come over here and kill them!”
His voice was loud enough to shake the snow on the ground.
The long-horned troll heard and asked, “Did he just call us over?”
Ji Ma replied, “Yes, he sent me to invite you to join the fun. Right now, he’s so desperate because he must be losing to us…”
The other trolls cracked their knuckles, eager to join in, and began to step forward together to “have fun.”
Ji Ma continued, “…then we’ll go chase the blessings together, and split them among us.”
The trolls paused in their steps.
They looked at each other: “Let’s go chase the blessings instead.”
Just then, flames erupted, and a troll was running around, limbs flailing and engulfed in flames, particularly blinding in the eyes of other trolls.
“Something seems off? There’s a fire.”
“They’re roasting humans.” Ji Ma said, “Look how happily that person is running.”
“Got it.” The trolls nodded and turned, preferring to chase after blessings.
Seeing the trolls turning to leave, the multi-eyed demonized troll was so furious that he ground his teeth, shouting:
“Fools! Come back!”
“What are you still watching for?”
His voice boomed, but it couldn’t compete with Ji Ma’s words.
Ji Ma said, “They want to call you back. If you ask me, the fewer people there are to share blessings, the better, so I won’t be going back either.”
The trolls wholeheartedly agreed and quickened their pace.
The louder the multi-eyed demonized troll shouted, the faster they ran…
