Chapter 99 – Two (13)
The twin sisters, who had lost their night vision effect before they knew it, relied on the sphere of light created by Merim for their vision and extended the game.
The twin sisters and the upper species of the trolls. In the overall battle with the high trolls, the twin sisters had the upper hand, but their regenerative powers beyond their imagination became an obstacle and the battle dragged on for a long time.
1 hour? 2 hours?
From the point of view of the twin sisters who were fighting like crazy, I can’t understand how much time has already passed.
ㅡWhoop-ugh!
“… ！ Big sister! Be careful!”
While she was lost in her thoughts, the High Troll, who was glaring at her from afar, suddenly threw a stone the size of her human head at her.
The angle was too high for Marill to block, so Merim had to deal with it on her own.
Then, the remaining options are… ．
“Blink!”
—-Spot!
Blink is a short-range teleport magic that can only be used by wizards of a certain level or higher and is generally used at the moment of an emergency escape.
The figure of Merim who cast Blink, memorized for emergency, disappears in an instant, and the stone aiming for that location passes through the air and crashes into the wall.
“Baby, what a surprise… !”
“Sigh!”
“Chur uh uh!!”
Meanwhile, the High Troll who had thrown the boulder backed away behind her, leaving a deep wound in her chest for opening a huge gap at the warrior in front of her.
ㅡStumble…
The sword wound began to heal again, but compared to the beginning, it was not completely restored and the speed of regeneration was remarkably slow. As a result of long-term warfare, the limit of regeneration came.
The time limit for her test is also getting shorter, so at this point she has to make a bold move.Merim, who signaled to her brother, pointed her staff at her high troll and chanted quickly and accurately.
“Fireball!!”
The most simple yet threatening fire magic.
A blazing fireball crashed into the high troll’s stomach. A huge explosion erupted, instantly filling the area with thick smoke.
As vision became unclear, the high troll criss-crossed his arms to shield his head from the follow-up blow.
However, Marill, who appeared silently in her performance, aimed at the leg opposite to the part he was defending.
ㅡChah!
The sword she swung in succession cut both ankles of the High Troll, or Achilles’ tendon to be exact.
Normal high trolls can regenerate such minor injuries in an instant, but now their regenerative power has significantly decreased.
“…”
Marill, aiming at the head of the high troll who had fallen to her ground, exerted her extreme concentration according to the tips she had learned from Loden, moving her mana according to her own will and pouring it completely into her fingertips holding her sword. I cast the skill that was passed down by giving it.
There is power in a name. A skill without a name cannot exist. Marill shouted vigorously and swung her sword.
“A double-deal!”
… It’s an overly simple name, but it’s good to have a simple and intuitive name that defines the original technology.
Marill’s sword strike with her mana and her power draws a clear trajectory. It cuts the high troll’s thick neck with her muscles and bones and separates the body and head. It’s a clean blow.
“Whoa… It’s finally over.”
“Aaaaah~ It was a much tougher monster than I thought. I managed to win thanks to getting rid of one first…”
The twins looked down at the high troll’s head as it rolled across the floor with her unfocused eyes, then relaxed and sat down side by side on the floor, clapping their hands together and exchanging words of hard work.
While they were breathing like that, Yuled, who watched the two of them fighting the high troll from start to finish, took the backpack that the twin sisters had put down a moment ago and silently put it down next to them.
“Oh, thank you. Mr. Yuled.”
“It was annoying to get up and bring it, but thank you. Idiot senior~”
Immediately, the twin sisters took out the canteen stored in their backpacks and gulped it in. The twin sisters stood up from their seats with much more relaxed faces.
“Hey, hey. I was so busy fighting that guy that I couldn’t tell how much time had passed… It’s not too late… ?”
“It’s true that we caught the trolls within the allotted time, so don’t worry. If you return to the guild like this, both of you can safely upgrade. Passed.”
“Thank god… ．I’m happy, but what to say? I don’t know what to say.
After all the situation was over, the recoil that had been wasted all day overtakes the twin sisters who came belatedly feeling a lot of fatigue.
When you think of trolls, the word that immediately comes to mind is regeneration. And the source of regeneration is their blood and heart.
The troll’s blood and heart, which are used as ingredients for potions and medicines, are among the most expensive items that can be obtained from monsters.
Before leaving Nazari, the two women took out the leather buckets that had taken up half of their backpacks and started working right away.
“If possible, stabbing it a little further up there would draw more blood.”
“Is this enough?”
“Okay.”
Taking her position while listening to Yule Reed’s advice, Marill stabbed the troll’s throat deeply, and a large amount of blood gushed out. ．
After a while, the twin sisters, who carefully selected the undamaged blood from the troll’s corpse, pulled out the heart of the troll and stored it separately. It was slightly damaged because of the surprise attack on the heart, but it is still sold at a high price.
When the twin sisters approached the high troll’s corpse and tried to do the same thing as before, Yuled raised a low voice.
“I recommend separating his blood so that it can be clearly distinguished from the blood of the guy you just drew. If you want to get the price of the blood of a higher class.”
The twin sisters, who regarded the trolls they had just dealt with as simple mutants, widened their eyes at the unexpected information.
Yulead gave them a rough explanation of how the difficulty of the test had risen so rapidly.
“To think that the troll we defeated was a superior species and not a mutant…”
“I forgot to explain in the village… I’ve often heard of similar incidents in guilds, but it’s a bit unusual for something like this to happen in a quest to subjugate such a large monster…”
“I agree with you. I intend to take appropriate action directly against the village chief who wrote the request.
While listening to the explanation, the twin sisters worked on extracting the high troll’s blood and heart, and now they are finished.
Yulid got up from his seat, and now that the exam was over, he accompanied his twin sister side by side through his nest and through the forest to the rural village.
* * *
“Adventurers are back!!”
“What about the monster? Did you catch that terrible monster?”
The twin sisters and the demons, who returned safely to the rural village, put the heads of the trolls, evidence of this hunt, on the ground in front of the gradually gathering residents. It has stretched out.
The client, the village chief, is nowhere to be seen on the street. He seems to be at home.
Observing the residents who looked relieved at the head of the man-eating monster, Julid decided to make a light confirmation.
“The trolls who attacked this village must be these guys, right?”
“Yes, yes! These monsters must be!”
“These bastards are talking about Job and Mike… !”
After hearing the testimony of the excited residents, the three men retrieved the heads and headed for the village chief’s house in a month, and went inside without difficulty.
After taking out the troll head on the table and showing it to the village chief, Julid held out an adventurer’s guild request form. There is a space for stamping at the very end.
“I’ve been dealing with the trolls as requested. Ask for a seal.”
“Oh, how you caught it so quickly… The work was done quickly. You did a good job.”
Juseomjuseom, the village chief took out his seal and stamped a red seal on the request completion column. With this, the request itself was successfully completed.
Putting the completed certificate into her bosom, Yulid pretended not to be the village chief, but glanced at the horned troll’s head one after another, noticing that they were carefully watching them.
ㅡHwaah!
The moment the suspicion turned to certainty, Julid caught the village chief by the collar in a surprise attack.
“Uhhhhh!
The demon responded as if the old man’s words were funny, growling.
“This damn old man… ．When applying for a request to the guild, the receptionist should have explained to you to fill in as much detail as possible?
“… ！ There seems to be some misunderstanding, please calm down… !”
“Look at the trembling voice… What is the misunderstanding?”
The twin sisters, who watched the situation from the side, hurriedly tried to stop Yuled.
“Yu, Ms. Yuled! No matter how much you do this to the old man…”
“Shut up, this is not a problem that can be passed over regardless of whether the other party is a woman, an old man, or a child. “
I thought it was a bit rough, but to be honest, the girls didn’t like this, so I decided to watch Yulead for now.
“Hey, whether you wrote less because you really didn’t know, or if you knew but wrote less to save the commission fee… I’m not really interested. Anyway, I’ll report this incident. Be sure to prepare the fine.”
“… I will.”
If the fine is not paid, the adventurer’s guild will not help, regardless of whether monsters appear again in this village or not. Finally, Julid and the twin sisters left the village chief’s house and boarded the waiting carriage.
After that, everything is a breeze.
The twin sisters who returned to Nazari received 30 silver coins as compensation as well as a promotion decision as a guarantee from Yulead. In addition, the troll’s blood and heart were also disposed of at the guild to receive 24 silver coins.
The silver grade dog tag was said to be prepared the next day, so the twin sisters went straight to the inn and relieved the accumulated fatigue by falling asleep early.
The next morning. The two who visited the guild again were promoted to silver-class adventurers by exchanging completed dog tags and existing dog tags.
The Nazari Guild side suggested to her twin sister that she had no intention of working here, but… Those who had a place to go back naturally refused.
In this way, the twin sisters made a promise to meet Julid, an adventurer of the demon tribe with whom they had a relationship, and rode away just like they did when they came to this city.
* * *
A few days later.
Around the time the twin sisters who had left Nazari returned safely to the Barmela estate. After finishing the solo request, Yulid was passing through an alleyway in the middle of the night that allowed him to quickly return to his house. He realized that he was being followed.
It’s not a trivial thing like a street junkie, but a sticky feeling that radiates an obvious murderous intent.
‘Did the demon killers crawl all the way here?’
From Yulead’s point of view, who wanted to tear and kill the demon killer with his own hands, this situation where he made himself a target was what he wanted. Pretending he didn’t know anything, he lured him into a more secret alley.
After a while, Yuled, lured to a place where there were few people, stood tall and took out a weapon.
“Since you already know everything, why don’t you come soon? Or should I go from here?”
Then, the guy who had been tailing Yulid until now slowly appeared. A human man estimated to be in his 30s.
Those who have killed their own people so far are humans who have fallen into human absolutism… As soon as Yulead came to a conclusion, the guy raised his voice.
“Hmm, I was taking care of the idiots clinging to the human land under Merlin-sama’s orders, but this is the first time I’ve noticed someone following me. And it’s the first time I’ve seen such a warlike guy.”
A voice that makes you feel interesting. Surprisingly, the language used by the demon killer is not human, but the demonic language mainly used in the kingdom of demons.
