BXBX NOVEL Chapter 448: Strength of Tribe Leaders
"Hahaahahaha! That\'s one weakli-huh?"
His laughter came to a sudden stop and turned to confusion as where he expected to find the fox woman cut in half by his swing, was found to be standing with one leg on top of his axe.
Before the ice troll could pull his axe, the figure with black and white hair jumped towards him.
"Dieeee!!!!!!"
Sending out a kick right towards the center of his chest, the ice troll was sent flying and rolling to the ground like a ragdoll right past the other ice trolls.
"Gaaaghhh!!!"
Landing on the ground, the black and white-haired woman with a large fox tail let out a satisfying grin upon seeing the caved-in chest of the ice troll.
The other ice trolls scoffed at their comrade who now lay to the ground twitching with pain.
"Tch! Let the gifts of the chief loose! We don\'t need that one!" One of the ice trolls yelled as he and two others pulled out from their back the metal spear, swiftly taking a stance and throwing the spear, flying and piercing the wind right towards the fox woman.
Despite that, Kuroshi stayed in place while staring at the flying spears coming to impale her body.
"Damn bastards underestimating us..." she whispered to herself.
Once when the spears were a few meters away from her, her eyes widened and her body sprung to action.
Kuroshi swung her hand with a speed far greater than that of the spears, hitting the first spear with the back of her hand.
Bending the spear and directing it to the side for the first spear to crash into the ground.
*Tagnnggh!!
Right after she raised her leg and kicked the second coming metal spear just behind the sharp tip.
This time breaking the metal, resulting in the rest of the spear flying to her other side.
Using the same momentum she turned around and planted her hands to the ground before kicking with the other leg at the last incoming spear.
In a way that made the spear lose all its momentum and spin into the air
"..." Raising up, Kuroshi side-eyed the ice trolls with a chilling stare.
Slowly taking a stance, she waited as the spear was spinning down.
"Huuff~" Letting her breath go, her pupils started to become more vertical while tensing the muscles of one of her hands.
The moment when the metal spear came down to her chest level where it was horizontal to her, an explosion of bloodlust came out of her body.
With the ground cracking to the sheer pressure, she stepped forward and hit the bottom of the spear with her palm.
"Die!!!"
Making the spear fly at abnormal speed right towards the ice troll who commanded her death.
The ice troll in question widens his eyes upon the danger coming his way.
"Dammi-" He tried to move to the side to escape.
But with his lack of speed, he only managed to move away just enough to avoid death.
Alas, the spear that was aimed at his head, had now pierced the side of his neck. Ripping half of his neck off.
"Gagghhhh!!!" Screaming in pain, the ice troll fell to the ground, grabbing the missing part of his neck in the hope of stopping the bleeding and hopefully enabling him to breathe.
"Gegh! H-Heglp! I Br-Bre-ath!"
With the world going blurry, the ice troll went to his knees and looked for others for help.
But once he raised his head up, the only thing he saw was a small barefoot right in front and a menacing grin hidden with black and white hair from the side of his eye.
"H-Huh?"
Those were his last words before his head was blown off his body and kicked to the ground, resulting in a small explosion of the ground and the head.
The body of the ice troll twitches as its headless body tries to look for its head for a brief moment, before collapsing to the ground. leaving a trail of blood right under the black and white fox woman.
"Hmpf, trash." Kuroshi scoffed, before gazing at the rest of the ice trolls.
"Come at me, I will crash every single one of you on my own!"
"Gwegh!"
Growling with anger, the ice trolls charged towards her, and Kuroshi followed suit.
But before they could engage in combat, spears of ice flew toward the ice trolls, penetrating their bodies and spreading the ice around their wounds.
"Huh?" Kuroshi stared confused at the ice trolls that she was about to engage, now finding themselves on the ground.
The one responsible shifted her focus away from the reckless black and white fox woman towards the undead having a hard time against the ice trolls.
\'Even if they are mere puppets, I can\'t have them all destroyed here.\' Sernatta thought internally, fearing the concourses of that happening with the primordial.
With her eyes glowing blue from mana, she merged her mana with the one around her surroundings.
Shifting it and controlling it like a cold breeze towards a Draugr who was about to be destroyed by the axe of an ice troll.
That particular cold breeze shifted like a protective sphere around the draugr and hardened into a sphere of magical ice, making the troll axe bounce off despite having the power to feel a whole tree.
"Such mere attacks aren\'t enough to break my magic..." Sernatta mumbled before closing her fist except two of her fingers and swiping to the side, thus reshaping the protective sphere of ice into several ice needles and extending them towards the ice trolls.
Impaling him in the process.
Moving her attention away once she confirmed the fate of the ice troll, she looked at the Draugr with the halberd who was having a difficult time against one of the ice trolls.
\'At the very least, this one has to survive...\'
Turning her palm downwards towards the direction of the fight, the cold breeze moved like living serpents gliding through the wind. Crashing towards the ice troll\'s left leg.
Turning into the breeze into magical ice that rooted into the ground itself and up the knee of the ice trolls.
"Haha-Huh? What sorcery is this!" The ice trolls yelled in disbelief at his own leg failing to break the all so fragile looking ice.
The halberd wielding Draugr seeing this flared his eyes.
Moving to the right side of the ice troll while it was distracted, he swung his halberd surrounded by dead mana.
The ice troll swung his axe at the Draugr, alas his distraction left the undead come to close. Leaving him in an awkward position where the undead with these dark green flaring eyes was behind him.
Swung down, the halberd took the right leg of the ice troll, tainting the ground with his enemy\'s blood and leaving the ice troll to fall to the ground.
"Gweaghh!!! You pile of bones!!! I will eat you-" The ice troll cursed as it turned his head around enraged from having his leg cut off by something that looked so fragile.
But before he knew it, a spear made out of bones pierced the front of his chest.
"Wha-!?"
Turned his head forward in shock.
The next thing he saw was 2 other spears flying towards him.
He tried but he miserably failed in grabbing the spears before they met his chest.
"Bagh-How could I...!" The ice trolls mumbled as he fell backward, his bloodied eyes refusing to accept the current events.
As he stared at the sky with his blurry vision, a being made of bones with flaring dark green eyes moved in front of him, staring down at him.
Raising up the weapon that his liege has given him.
"For some mere bones-! *Crack!"
"Defying his will brought you to do this, mortal." The Draugr said, pulling his halberd from the ice troll\'s head, staring at his twitching body.
The other three Draugrs slowly came to retrieve their spears from the troll\'s chest.
Pulling them out only to continuously pierce the ice troll\'s body till it stopped twitching.
"His will shall be followed." The three Draugrs said.
"Even if it\'s by all means." The one with the halberd said before going to his next battle, followed by the three.
Seeing that from the side, Gilgamash frowns before moving to the side to dodge a mace coming to crash him.
*Brarccckkkk!!
"Running fox! Let me crash you!" An ice troll yelled in frustration, raising his mace to the side and swinging at the golden tailed man,
Only for him to jump back slightly and dodge the swing effortlessly. His mind being on his own thoughts.
\'As expected from his puppets, ruthless just like their creator.\'
Albeit he found great satisfaction in seeing the hunters being skewered and mutilated. He was well aware that the creator of those beings could very possibly point those undead toward those of his race.
And while they weren\'t all that strong compared to him and the other 4. He recognized the danger they would pose to anyone else, especially with their weapons having dead mana employed.
Decaying flesh and all that is living.
\'Beings that neither hunger nor tire on top of all that. And that\'s not talking about those lingering living shadows that he has around him. If he were to decide to make us join the ranks of his minions...\'
"Maybe if I had "her" as my own, then maybe-"
"Aghhhh! You moving fox! Stop and let me crash you!" The ice troll yelled, making Gilgamash\'s eyes brown twitch.
"Tch-Annoying." He mumbled as his tail moved around his arm unnaturally.
"Die." He said coldly as he swung his hand to the side.
His tail now covered his hand extended and swung like a wip to smack the head of the ice troll.
But unlike the damage one would expect of having been smacked by hair, the ice troll\'s head exploded upon contact with the tail effortlessly.
"To think I was hearing orders of such filth." Gilgamash said full of disdain as he freed his arm from his golden tail.
"I guess I should focus right about now as one of the tribe leaders."
He stared towards Herlin who around him had several victims of his claws.
And currently, he faced an ice troll radiating a similar aura to them.
The aura of the 3rd-tier.
And it wasn\'t the only 3rd-tier ice troll that was on the battlefield.
As ice troll slowly walked towards Gilgamash and Kuroshi, their faces full of grins and bloodlust."
"Took you long enough, great hunters." Herlin said emotionally and calmly.
"Hmpf, a mere fox dares to talk back." The ice troll facing Herlin scoffed.
Sernatta who looked from the side, slowly raised her hand while doing her best to hide the mana she controlled towards the ice troll that Herlin was facing.
But before she could, a metal spear came flying through the battlefield, destroying a group of Draugrs or leaving them wide open for the undead to crash them while on the ground.
"Shit." She cursed as she stared at the distance, faintly sensing an ice troll that she guessed was of the 3rd-tier.
And from there, another metal spear came flying towards the battlefield.
