Chapter 30 And Another One Bites The Dust…

"Ha! Round 2 Begin!"

As if following Evan's word, the two moved to clash again.

It threw another punch toward Ralphie who moved to dodge it again.

When it realized it missed, it turned its head toward him and swung its arm once more. However, its stance was already ruined. Ralphie leapt forward strongly and thrust his sword out in full force. The ice enveloping the sword swept over it as if to freeze it whole.

After he successfully left a bunch of ice in its left arm, he brushed past its body.

Then, he heard the aura streams it sent out striking its body and exploding. Instantly turning around, he charged towards it again.

Ralphie imbued his sword full of aura, and Laurene, at Evan's request, buffed him multiple times.

Since her buffs worked with percentages, it did not matter that she was over a hundred times weaker than Ralphie, the effect of the buff scaled to Ralphie's strength.

However, the troll king didn't seem to want to lose so easily. Although its arms were being frozen by the ice and letting out a strange noise, it raised its arms without a care in the world and screamed.

It activated all its skills, increasing its size, adding more aura to its fist and amplifying its strength.

It clasped its hands and struck down on the ground. The ground then sprung up.

It was almost as if one caused a small earthquake, except with its bare fists. However, the lightning shooting out of Ralphie's body perfectly, courtesy of Laurene's buff struck the earth shards away.

'Her buffs are quite useful, maybe I'd take her with me when I leave the empire'

Without knowing the dangerous thoughts of the one he was protecting, Ralphie increased his speed and charged toward the troll king. He also raised my sword high up in the air.

Above the whirlpool of ice, white lights began to gather around it. He then jumped up in the air towards the troll.

'Oh, he's finally using his unique skill.'

The troll king spread its arms out and ran towards him. It seemed it wanted to capture him, but that definitely wouldn't happen!

**BOOM!

It smashed its arms against each other. Some of the ice around it even fell off because of it!

However, immediately before it did so, Ralphie ducked instantly, letting him dodge its arms perfectly. Its attack brushed past his head and could only pick off a few strands of his hair.

Before he landed on the ground, he saw a good target. As expected of a wild troll king, there was something asserting its presence on its uncovered body!

Evan also noticed this and closed Laurene's eyes.

'Damn, where's the mosaic!? Otherwise…!'

"As a fellow male, I apologize."

Along with Evan's strange apology, Ralphie attacked the troll king's.... little troll?

The ice accelerated to the limit with his aura storm skill, didn't just break, but rather ravaged and ground everything it touched.

Ralphie dodged the blood, skin, and bone waste flying about everywhere and landed on the ground. Then, he let out a deep sigh.

"Whew. The sword hit an unfortunate area. From now, troll king Gu can never have a child… In other words, he cannot ever have a sexual relationship."

It was already dead. Mentally, and before it died physically, it let out a pulse of energy against the unprepared Ralphie who believed that the fight was over.

"I really hated this attack, sometimes, I hadn't killed all the troll knights and it released this, knocking me unconscious and letting the knights finish me off.

The point is, have a good rest Ralphie."

The troll king's last stand managed to knock Ralphie unconscious but could not kill him.

"He has more than three-fourths of his health left, after all, he even got stronger too. Ah, you can come out now Laurene"

Evan appraised Raplhie who was lying on the ground unconscious.

"One level huh? He got a benefit at least, gonna use that against him when he wakes up."

Evan snickered to himself before turning to Laurene and continuing.

"Keep an eye on him, Laurene, I wanna go do something."

"W-what do you want to d-do with the sword?"

Laurene asked with a shaky voice, still slightly scared at having encountered a level 360 troll king.

As the fourth of the seven heroes, one who had the memories of the previous fourth, she knew of the existence that should be sealed behind the door at the back of the troll king's throne.

"I am just reclaiming my 'predecessor's' weapon, alongside the being sealed within it."

Evan smiled and replied to her, he activated his mystic eyes and they let out a strange golden glow.

Laurene watched as a crest formed within his eyes, the crest of the second of the seven heroes, the Hero of Mimicry.

"Be right back,"

He left without giving her a chance to say anything and walked towards the door behind the throne.

Pouring his magic power in the hole, the door recognized the mana of the one who possessed mystic eyes and opened up.

He walked in and saw an empty room, there was nothing in it save for a single sword.

'From here on is uncharted territory, this never happened in the game so I don't know what the outcome will be.'

As he thought that the door closed behind him and the ambient energy in the room seemed to increase in quantity.

In the centre of the room was an ominous jet-black one-handed sword that had red lines running through it like veins, emitting a dark mist that made Evan hesitate to go closer.

He then stared at the sword in the middle of the room and spoke.

"I know you're awake pride, reveal yourself."

As he said that the air trembled slightly, and then the ambient mana began to visibly condense, and the condensed mana took up a humanoid form.

The dark red eyes of the humanoid form stared back at Evan.
