Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

It let out an angry roar, its terrifying aura driving away the vanguard and shield guards who had surrounded it.

It raised its giant club high, leaped up following the scent of blood, and slammed it down hard into a spot in the crowd.

That place was none other than the rear area where Charles was located!

[The Divine Cup of Dionysus!]

A silver barrier stood before Sharl, and Philwis braced herself against her staff, blocking the "Bloody Troll's" attack.

The semi-circular silver light shield cracked the moment it touched the spiked club, and Phil Weiss also showed a pained expression, kneeling on the ground.

Alpha lifted the [Reversal Veil] and swiftly handed the wounded to Cassandra. His figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing into the air. The steel ball, wrapped in lightning, slammed into the "Bloody Troll," causing splattering blood droplets.

Shila-

The lightning paralyzed the "Bloody Troll's" body, attracting the monster's hatred. Two rings, one purple and one blue, spun beneath her feet, then transformed into lightning again, propelling her 50 meters forward.

"Roar--"

The "Bloody Troll" caught the culprit and abandoned Philwiss. Dragging its spiked club, it roared and chased after Alpha with an agility beyond its massive frame.

Alpha frowned, then flung out several more steel balls. Surrounded by electricity, he transformed into lightning once more and dashed 100 meters away.

The moment she landed, a layer of azure magical light appeared above Alpha's head. She felt a surge of energy, and after challenging the "Bloody Troll" again, she created some distance between herself and the troll.

"Holding her...holding her back?" Nar scrambled to his feet, making a snap decision: "Everyone, assist her!"

The mages of the [Modi] Familia, who had already prepared their magic, unleashed a barrage of cannon fire at the crazed "Bloody Troll".

Lightning bolts, fireballs, and wind blades struck the "Bloody Troll's" thick hide, leaving specks of ash.

"!"

The level 3 shelling only caused it some superficial damage.

It slowly turned its head, its fierce gaze fixed on a vanguard who showed a fearful expression. Its massive body, like a mine cart, crushed the vanguard's obstruction, grabbed a man's thigh, and threw him directly into its mouth to chew.

As the adventurer's wails grew weaker, his entire thigh disappeared into the mouth of the "Bloody Troll," and the rotting flesh on its body gradually began to regenerate.

"What... regeneration?"

A mage noticed the aura appearing beneath his feet and shouted, "Don't be discouraged! Our mental energy is rapidly recovering! Keep firing! Don't stop!"

The next moment, a bone spike shot out from the "Bloody Troll's" ribs and pierced the adventurer's chest.

Looking at the prey whose faces showed fear and dread...

The "Bloody Troll" once again wore a carefree and mocking smile.

Just as it was feeling triumphant...

A blinding flash of light burst forth in its blind spot.

"boom----"

"Ouch————"

A piercing scream rang out as Fels raised the 50cm-caliber black magic cannon with both hands and pulled the trigger again at the "Bloody Troll".

Purple magical energy gathered at the cannon's muzzle, and in the next instant, a scorching heat line was released once again.

"boom----"

The "Bloody Troll" staggered back four or five steps in pain.

"Damn... well done, you gloomy loli-chan!"

"With this kind of firepower, we can win! Keep it up!"

"Mage! Mage, fire! Don't give it a chance to breathe! As for mental energy, we have as much as we need!"

Fels blew on the cannon muzzle, and amidst the cheers and applause of the adventurers, he said calmly, "Times have changed, monsters."

Chapter 322 The Power of the Beast Tamer

Boom boom boom boom boom——

"Gurgle, roar!"

The "Bloody Troll" roared, using its arms and bone armor to block the surging torrent of magic.

Amidst the raging flames and thunder, a purple magical cannonball struck again, causing the "Bloody Troll's" towering body to stagger backward, revealing an opening.

Alpha's legs, crackling with lightning, stomped together towards the "Bloody Troll's" lower back.

The troll, which was under bombardment, noticed the attacker, spun around, and swung his spiked club!

With a crackling sound, the afterimage of lightning left by Alpha's high-speed movement shattered.

The magic guild behind them surged with magical energy, layers of purple barriers drawing back the magic they had released. Having just fired a single shot, their mental energy surged forth as if it were free...

"Don't stop, chant, chant for me now!"

"what happened?"

"Magic, an endless stream of magic is surging forth!"

"Who cares about all that right now? Sing! Don't stop!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

Boom boom boom boom boom——

The "Bloody Troll" survived a volley of bullets, its body covered in blood, but the ferocity in its eyes had dissipated. Its grayish-brown skin, as if drenched in sulfuric acid, became even more bizarre and menacing after being stained crimson.

Steam rose from its body, and its heavy breathing echoed across the battlefield.

"Ha, ga, ga—"

The sound of teeth grinding, albeit haltingly, could be heard.

The adventurers only felt their vision blur for a moment before their comrades vanished from sight.

"?!"

"Second gear?" Charles's pupils contracted as he found the most fitting description for the change before his eyes.

Crunch, crunch, crunch…

The harsh chewing sounds echoed across the quiet battlefield as the "Bloody Troll" crouched on a tree trunk like a monkey, a lifeless adventurer torn in two by its sharp teeth dangling from its mouth.

The rich aura of blood slowly nourished its broken body.

"Speed... so fast you can't see it!" Nar's eyes widened.

In the blink of an eye... his face was once again stained with sprayed blood. His trembling pupils glanced to the left and saw a headless corpse.

"what……"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

This is... a monster!

The adventurers screamed as their predecessor was easily torn to pieces, throwing the supporters into disarray. They broke away from the group and fled in the rear.

"Idiot, don't run! Stop!" Nar shouted.

But it was no use; morale collapsed.

"It's over, it's all over!" Anila realized the problem too. If they couldn't rebuild their defenses in this situation... everyone would die here!

As everyone's legs trembled and they were completely at a loss...

"Hoo-boom!"

A crimson sphere struck the rapidly moving "Bloody Troll" directly, and a burst of flames exploded. Amidst the raging inferno, a blood-stained arm and its remains flew out.

The "Bloody Troll" rolled through the smoke and collapsed with a mournful howl.

"This……"

What was that just now?

"That monster, is it injured?"

The adventurers stared in astonishment at the troll's arm, which had just crashed from the sky and was now bouncing and tumbling on the ground, and gasped in surprise.

"Zha Zhong! Come here!"

The adventurer looked in the direction of the sound and was surprised to find Charles still in a pitching stance.

He was also holding a bright red sphere in his hand, which was none other than the "Flame Stone"!

Impossible! He's only level 1, how could he do that? It can't be him!

This idea was overturned by Ciel's actions as soon as it was conceived.

"What are you looking at? Come and help!"

He hurled the second firestone with all his might, and it landed squarely in the mouth of the "Bloody Troll".

Having learned its lesson once, the "Bloody Troll" howled, clutched its throat, opened its mouth wide, and spat the Firestone onto the ground.

The firestone cannot explode unless it is ignited by a spark. The trolls clearly knew this and learned from their mistakes.

"What?! What happened?!" Nar exclaimed in astonishment.

That brutal monster was severely injured like that?

"Can't you tell? It's a Flame Stone!" Charles muttered, then shouted, "What are you standing there for! Organize the attack!"

"what?"

Seeing that Nar was completely unreliable, Charles shouted loudly:

"Don't be afraid! The lower this monster's health is, the faster it gets! The stronger it is now, the more serious its injuries are. If you panic now, you'll just be feeding it your kills. Listen to my command, Aisha! Reorganize the defensive formation!"

"Whoa—" The combat prostitutes' instincts made them react quickly, raising their weapons again and circling around, wary of the monster.

Other adventurers hesitated, their expressions shifting, while most seized the opportunity to flee. Although they knew the "Bloody Troll" was on its last legs, its apparent fighting prowess was too terrifying, and even after receiving the warning, they chose to protect themselves.

now.

The "Bloody Troll" locked its gaze on Sharl, and before the adventurers could form a new defensive line, its figure flashed, and its dark shadow enveloped Sharl.
