BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 Trolls-3
As Igor and his group were discussing the next step that they should take, their attention was attracted by a loud cry…
HHHUUUUAAAAA
It was a weird cry, but they all recognized it very well, it belonged to a troll, they immediately looked at the herd and found one of the remaining trolls was missing. Hearing that weird cry, all the other trolls got up.
Every troll stopped lazing around frantically looking around in their envoirment, looking for their enemies. Seeing this everyone cursed inwardly.
"Who the fuck was responsible for keeping an eye on the herd?" Jamal cursed.
Adaku straight away pointed her finger toward Alisha. "You put your finger down you fucking bitch, or I will beat the crap out of you."
"I will like to see you try" Adaku commented.
Before any of the girls could get into a brawl, Igor came between them. "It is not the time to point fingers, we have some work to do."
"What\'s the plan boss?" Ali asked.
"We would have to do a frontal attack, I will be at the back, casting confusion Spell. You and Jamal would immobilize them by slicing the joint between ankle and the leg, if they could get up, they will pose little problem. Alisha, Brook, and Adaku, you guys will give Ali and Jamal cover with spells and exploding arrows."
Everyone nodded their head, then he continued. "Alright, we would start attacking at my signal, when three of the trolls are in trance. Got it?."
Everyone nodded their head…
Igor stayed behind and started casting the Trance spell on the trolls one at a time. He needs about 5 seconds to cast the spell. While the spell lasted around 1 min. So if his teammates are fast enough, then they would not face any problems…
After he had cast the trance spell on three trolls, his party members finally jumped into action. Ali and Jamal went for the trolls that were under the effect of the spell. Thier swords then cut off the small portion joining the ankle and femur bone, making those trolls immobilize.
The trolls bellowed with pain, the two trolls who didn\'t have any spell casted on them jumped into action, they started running towards Jamal and Ali, to intercept them. It is then Adaku, Alisha, and Brook started doing their part of the job.
Adaku fired exploding arrows, while Alisha and Brook cast mana balls on the trolls, making them stumble back and injuring them. All of this gave enough time for Igor to recover and make one more troll fall under his spell.
Ali and Jamal finished two of the trolls that were immobilized, and they moved the third one, but till then, the last troll which was not under any kind of spell got the gist of the situation, immediately it uprooted a medium-sized tree, and threw it at Ali and Jamal.
While Ali was able to evade the tree, Jamal wasn\'t so lucky, he got caught under it, immobilizing him. Till then Igor was successful in casting the last spell, making the last one to stuck in trance.
But by the time he was successful in casting the spell, the troll had had went berserk, it started moving its arms and legs around trying to knock out anyone who tried to approach it.
Even with Jamal down, Ali didn\'t shy away from his duties. He finished off the third one, it took some time but he did it, but because of this, the fourth troll started coming out of its trance, but Ali didn\'t know that he lost the track of time since the battle had started.
He moved towards the fourth troll, expecting it to be down like the rest of them. But he was wrong. As he came to the troll, it instantly started eyeing him. It snarled at him and tried to crush him with its hands.
But as it raised its hand to kill him, an arrow came and struck the monster in its eyes, buying enough time for Ali to make some distance between him and it. What confused him was the arrow itself, he knew it didn\'t belong to Aduka, as she was busy with others dealing with the last troll.
He looked back and it is then he saw a person running towards them with a bow and a quiver full of arrows…
That person\'s barrage of arrows annoyed the troll, this gave Ali a decent opening from which he could immobilize the monster, he ran towards the monster\'s foot and made a cut making it fall onto its one foot, it started snarking and moving its arms around trying to make Ali move away, not letting him approach.
Till then the stranger came close enough and started firing arrow after arrow at the monster\'s head, riddling it with holes. After a few seconds of trouble, the monster eventually fell down on the ground, it was still alive, but because of the blood loss, it fell down.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ali brought a great Ax from his inventory and slammed it onto the monster\'s head finishing off the job, right there. Till then the rest of the group had also finished their job.
Ali went straight toward Jamal, and with him rest of the group also went to check on him, while Igor, Adaku, and Brook went to the stranger, to talk to him.
"Thanks for your help there dude," Brook said as they came towards the stranger.
"Dood?" the stranger asked.
"It\'s a slang… for a man, but wait… Um. It could be used for a woman as well… Not that I am saying you are a woman, but…" Hearing Brook mumbling, Igor put his hand on the man\'s shoulder, making him shut up.
"Thanks for your my friend. You an adventurer?" Igor asked.
"My father was one, he taught me how to use a bow." The stranger said.
"Well, your marksmanship is phenomenal." Igor then put his hand up. "I am Igor by the way."
"I am Gilbert." The stranger while shaking his hand.
