Squeak.

Conou opened the door and walked inside. Aso followed him closely.

The first floor of the two-story wooden building was the Assassins' maintenance area.

Daggers hung on the wall, and on the other side were several sealed jars.

Considering that there are several layers of seals inside, there must be something very dangerous inside. It must have been the poison used by the assassins.

Five Assassins sat around a table, playing a card game like go, stop.

"Alone!"

"Enemy!"

"Intruder!"

Once they spotted Conou and Aso, the Assassins stood up and slung their weapons to their waists.

"Haha!"

"Ahh

Both Conou and Aso attacked, and the trolls reacted in the same way.

There was chaos inside.

Conou is menacing and deliberately yelling. He's essentially saying, 'Come at me!' to divert their attention from Aso.

Whack!

Bang!

A sucker!

In the chaos, the trolls began to fall one or two at a time.

Hearing the chaos downstairs, a troll descended the stairs.

"What's wrong!?" shouted the troll.

[You've met a troll assassin, Berserk.] ]

"There is a name!"

Conou observed the man named Troll.

Unlike other trolls, the lower half of Berserk's face (under the nose) is covered in a black bandage.

Of course, the troll's pride, its fangs, are still visible, protruding outwardly.

"They're trespassers!" shouted one of the surviving trolls.

Conou stabbed his sword into the screaming troll's back.

"Human!"

Berserk suddenly jumped to his feet and drew his dagger.

Its dagger is slightly different from what others use. Although it is not encased in a black toxin, it has a red spot on the blade.

The troll wields a dagger.

Danger, danger!

Super-instinctive warns him of danger. It was the strongest sense of danger he felt here.

So he decided to dodge it.

Hush!

As soon as it was touched, the corner of the table that had been thrown down immediately melted.

"It's really amazing!"

Berserk seems to use more powerful toxins than other troll assassins.

Conou gritted his teeth and brandished his sword.

Rustle.

Fury tilted his head back, Conou's sword grazing its bandages.

And then it fought back.

The two attacked each other.

Adding the two surviving Troll Assassins and Aso to the equation is a chaotic formula.

"Haha. ”

Aso deflects the Assassin's dagger. Fury seized the opportunity and cautiously rushed forward, aiming for her neck.

"It's not going to happen!"

Cono swings his sword, aiming at the neck of the boot, forcing the boot to retreat.

Then, another Assassin brandished a dagger and aimed it at Con'ou's side.

Cono tossed the body aside and threw a dagger.

He threw the dagger into the air, so there wasn't much power behind the dagger, but he was well timed.

Frustrate.

The dagger pierced its thigh, paralyzing the assassin.

In that moment ...

Aso rushed in and stabbed her sword into the heart of the paralyzed assassin.

Come on!

The tip of the knife froze. The effect of her necklace is activated.

Aso attacks again, intending to inflict more damage through the ice shards.

However, Berserk attacked her side, forcing her to defend herself.

And then...

Conor pulled Aso towards him, swinging horizontally.

Whack!

Berserk and Ice Flower were on his blade.

The rage caused his blade to dodge a little, but the Troll Slayer wasn't so lucky.

Crack!

His black blade slammed into the ice, causing it to crack and the Assassin to be stabbed.

"Huh. I was able to break the ice too, but it still caused damage. ”

Then, an assassin rushed at Conou, aiming for his back.

"Go away!"

They stood back-to-back, and Aso stopped the Assassins.

Glorious blow!

As soon as her sword touched, the feathers flew into the air.

Because of her, Con Ou didn't have to worry about any enemies coming from behind. Therefore, he focused all his energy on the dying assassins and berserk in front of him.

Storm Tiger!

The appearance of the Golden Tiger!

Berserk didn't dare to attack head-on and quickly threw his body aside.

"Aha!"

But troll assassins can't do that.

Prosperity!

The assassin was swept by the halo and pushed against the wall.

Conou followed the furious movements, trying to kill him. However, the berserk form suddenly faded and then disappeared.

"He's using disguise," Conou guessed.

Berserk uses a killer skill, which makes it instantly disappear from one's blind spot.

By the time he found it, it was already waving a dagger beside him.

"No chance!"

Con Ou twisted his body at the same time, swinging downward.

Rustle.

He narrowly escaped the dagger, but Conou's blow was real.

Whack!

Conou then followed up with another attack.

If he has the upper hand, he will always stay the course and take out his opponent. Berserk fought back desperately, as if to say "I can't die like this".

However, this is not the same level as Kang'ou.

"Ahh "How can I lose to a poor man......" At one point Conou's sword pierced its stomach, furiously said.

[You defeated the Troll Assassin, Berserk.] ]

Conou immediately moved. Aso barely asserted his opposition to the Assassins.

"You're doing a great job. ”

"Ha, ha. ”

Cono takes over and takes out the troll assassins.

And just like that, they defeated two of the three named monsters. Now there's only one left of them!

The last remaining man named Trol lives in the largest building of the outpost. Not only that, but there were six trolls guarding the door.

As a result, Kang Ou and Aso are forced to fight the gatekeeper in the open area in front of the building.

"Be careful. ”

"Okay. ”

Kangou and Aso each drew their weapons and fought back-to-back.

They engage four troll warriors and two troll assassins.

The warriors surrounded the two men, while the Assassins stood behind them, waiting for their chance to attack.

However, Kangou and Aso work well as a team, so it's hard to find such an opportunity.

Eventually, Conou and Aso gradually gained the upper hand.

They haven't actually defeated any of the trolls yet, but they've done them quite a bit.

"If we kill one, the rest will fall like dominoes. ”

Conou's eyes sparkled, looking for the first dead troll.

However... ！

Squeak.

The door opened, and hordes of trolls walked out.

Not only that, but ... ！

The last one is a troll wearing a headdress and wielding a stick.

[You've met the troll shaman, Kazun.] ]

It's the last one to be called a troll!

"I don't have to go through the trouble of looking for it. ”

Conou grinned.

However...

"Oh, Opa!"

As soon as reinforcements appeared, her voice trembled. They were already numerically inferior before, but more trolls appeared!

"It doesn't matter. Trust me. ”

Con Ou calmed her down first.

"When I kill them all, Aso won't be able to hold on. If that's the case

Conou found the BB-rank item "Corsican Unnecessary Stick" from his inventory.

Gluttony!

The darkness emanating from the magic sword greedily devoured the staff.

[Obist, the Demon Sword, consumes Corsica's unnecessary stick.] ]

[This is a BB grade item.] ]

[Goes into binge eating mode.] ]

[Lasts 10 minutes, the Demon Sword and the character's abilities are doubled.] ]

A wave of black energy erupted from Conou's body.

"Aso, I'm going to break through their defenses, so when I give the signal, go through the hole, okay?"

"Excuse me?"

"Don't fight, just look at me this time. ”

"Okay. ”

Aso looked disappointed, but she quickly agreed. After all, if she finishes the game, then their mission will end in failure.

"I'm leaving!"

Con'ou charged at one end of the siege.

Prosperity!

Conor rained down on them, and as his strength and speed grew, any troll in his path would fall instantly.

"Let's go. ”

Aso ran through the hole and escaped the siege.

"Good. Let's really do it, shall we?"

Cono slung his sword to his shoulder and confidently walked forward.

"I think there's something strong about him!"

"Be careful!"

The trolls could feel Con'o's power growing.

At that moment, the troll shaman Kazun entered the battle.

"We're proud Ingrid trolls!"

Kazun has promoted employees. The stick glows yellowish-green and spreads outward like a halo.

The courage of the eagle!

The power of the bear!

Cheetah's speed!

Kazoo has already polished all the other trolls.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The trolls are full of power.

"You're still a monster!"

Cono storms the heart of the troll.

Kuhon!

He roared like an angry tiger and began to pounce on the troll like a hungry tiger.

Whack!

Every time his sword is hit, multiple trolls fall.

"Stop him!"

"Attack!"

The trolls were equally furious and rushed towards Conou. Like bees, they risk their lives to stop wasps from invading.

"Come on!" Conou screamed as he attacked the nearest troll.

He seemed to have only knocked once, but it fell and died.

Afterwards...

Whack!

"Ahh

Frustrate!

"Ugh. ”

Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack!

Cono brandished his sword frantically. Of course, he didn't just fiddle around.

It's intense, but precise!

Whenever he felt that the knife wound was the most serious, he did not forget to add the knife wound.

Not only that, but ... ！

The trolls couldn't cope with any attack amplified by the Dark Strike, and the familiar black jet took on the form of a savage beast that swirled around his blade.

Just like now.

Bang!

Con'ou flies sideways, striking four trolls at once. One of the troll warriors died instantly.

Or at least should be dead ...

Strange letters surrounded Kazun's staff. Then, it pointed its staff at the dead troll.

The soul returns!

The fallen trolls stood up and came back to life.

And that's not all.

A wave of natural healing!

Kazun also casts a healing spell that restores your health to the maximum.

Wounds left by knife wounds, or crumbling trolls begin to heal and return to fullness.

"Like I thought, I've got to get that guy out first. ”

Con'ou stared at Kazun.

However, there were too many trolls in his way, so he couldn't help but clear them first.

If that's the case, then he'll have to find a way.

"Get out of my way. ”

Conor swung downward.

Storm Tiger!

He unleashed a beautiful aura from his sword, bigger and more powerful than before.

Just as he had hoped, the golden aura swept past the trolls in his path.

"Now!"

The road to Kazun is clear.

Without hesitation, Con O kicked away from the ground and charged like the wind.

After a while ...

Kang Ou stood in front of Kazun.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen fallen trolls, or those who could barely stand up.

"Nice to meet you. ”

Conou grinned and stabbed his sword into it. Kazun tries to dodge, but he is a shaman, not a warrior. Its physical or combat abilities are terrifying.

Stab!

"Fly in the Emirates!"

Kazoo waved its staff in pain.

Conou dodged it with ease, and then launched another attack.

But by that time, the trolls behind him had rushed forward and tried to help Kazun.

However... ！

Cono grabbed his sword with both hands and spun it like a spinning top!

He swept from the front, from the back, from the side, everywhere.

As a result, he slashed through Kazun, as well as the trolls from behind.

"Now!"

Cono stopped spinning and rushed to Kazun. He felt a little dizzy, but he pushed away, gritted his teeth, and swung down.

Slash!

Fortunately, the Dark Strike has been activated.

Prosperity!

A devastating force intertwined with black and white fell on Kazun.

Con then stabbed Kazun in the heart.

Stab!

"Ahh ”

After that, he continued to attack until Kazun died.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

[You defeated the Troll Shaman, Kazun.] ]

[Gluttony is active.] ]

[Data stolen.] ]

[Magic +1]

When Conou's body stopped radiating darkness, all the trolls were killed.

"Opa. ”

Aso, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, approached him.

"You're doing it all alone! Well done. ”

Her voice was piercing.

"Uh-huh. Do you have any ideas?" asked Conou carefully.

"Yes," she replied immediately.

"What is this?"

"It's your fault. ”

"I—why?"

Cono tilted his head.

"You do everything yourself, I'm just a bystander. How can you call us a team?"

Aso pouted.

"That's because... I thought it would be hard to protect you, so ... I just chose the best option to both protect you and accomplish the goal......"

Conou did his best to convince her that he had made the right call.

"I know you made the best decision. Just ......"

She paused briefly, then said, "I'm a little disappointed that you told me to run." I want to fight with you. ”

Aso wants to do his part without letting Cono fall and conquer the dungeon together as a team.

However, she did not participate in the battle and simply stood by as a bystander. She couldn't help but feel like she was crushing him.

"Odd. I'm overprotective

Conou could understand why she was so disappointed.

In her mind, telling her to run is basically saying, 'You're not helping here, so just stay there and watch.'" ’。

Conou lowered his head and folded his hands.

"I'm sorry," he apologized sincerely.

She was relaxed to see him bow and apologize so sincerely.

"I'm sorry too. You're doing it for me, but I'm angry right now. ”

Aso also lowered his head.

After that, they raised their heads at the same time and stared into each other's eyes.

"Haha. ”
