Chapter 153 23: Gigante Troll - Part 1

"Woah! Big goblin! It's time to hunt goblins!" Zera said, in a false deep voice, before Felia yanked her tail, and they began to fight

"Nyaaau!"

​ "Stop messing around..." Vincent scolded them.

A massive, hulking creature stood before them, its skin as black as obsidian and its eyes glowing with an evil red light. It was a troll, one of the land's most feared and powerful creatures.

They began to spread out, watching as the Troll let out a roar, which shook the cave walls before it stepped forward with a loud thud, and the party knew they were in for the fight of their lives. The drums continued to pound in the background, adding to the already intense atmosphere.

Suddenly its body began to twist and dash towards the party, its loud footsteps causing them to feel dread, before Vincent's flaming body shot forward. His powerful muscles and long horns lifted before smashing into the Troll more than two metres taller than him.

The Troll's eyes were dull as its huge mace slammed down, causing a howl as it throttled through the wind before the sharp spear's blade flashed, tearing the club into pieces and slicing off several of the Gigante troll's fingers.

A loud bellow sounded before its flesh began to bubble and heal before growing and regenerating.

'Ah, figures that it can regenerate so fast... Make's me feel slow!' He thought, comparing their speed of regeneration.

Once its hand regenerated, it shot a swift punch towards Vincent, as two arrows shot into his body, making a few scratches but nothing more; the wind from the force alone caused Vincent to almost blow off balance.

"Tsk!"

Vincent gracefully dodged the Troll's massive fists and found his way into the Troll's weak points, striking deep and true with his spear.

The Troll's roar of pain filled the cavern as Vincent delivered swift and fatal strikes. But the Troll was not an easy foe to defeat; its counterattacks were fierce and relentless; heavy blows and wide kicks assaulted Vincent as Zarina tried to support him, deflecting some of the impacts.

"Fuck!"

Vincent was hit by one of the Troll's fists, sending him flying back, but he quickly regained his footing, determined not to let it slow him down. He lodged his spear into the ground to stop his body from dragging along the floor before he used Raizel for leverage and shot towards the Troll's foot.

As his spear lodged into the Troll's thigh in a rapid response, the figure of his cute white tiger began to flash around the Troll Gigante. Her sharp daggers began to slash away at him in fast assaults.

Zera fought with wild abandonment, using her entire body as a weapon. Her tails lashed out to strike the Troll's eyes, her daggers darting in and out to strike its throat and chest.

Clang! Her blades didn't create significant damage, only mere cuts that quickly healed as fast as they were inflicted.

The Troll struggled to defend against her swift and aggressive attacks, its massive fists unable to connect with her agile form. But the Troll's counterattack caught Zera off guard; a gigantic fist hit her, sending her flying through the air, crashing into the wall before falling to the ground, momentarily dazed.

"Nyauu....??" Zera mewed as her body remained floppy, leaning against the wall.

Zarina's greatsword struck with deadly force, her armour deflecting the Troll's attacks. The Troll's thick hide was no match for her strength and skill, each blow sending it staggering back.

But the Troll's counterattacks hit Zarina, too; her armour protected her from the worst. However, it still sent her flying around like a rag doll, using her heavy sword to balance her weight until she finally rolled on the ground with a loud clattering sound.

Odette unleashed powerful fireballs that slammed into the Troll, trying to limit its regeneration. But the Troll's thick hide protected it from most of the damage.

"Ah fuck this stupid Troll! Why is it dying so slowly!"

Felia's arrows barely scratched their skin, but she continued to shoot with precision, aiming for its eyes and weak points.

A huge rock suddenly shot through the air and slammed into her chest, the speed of the stone faster than her arrows, as it crushed them; arrows clattered to the ground as she was sent flying back.

The battle was fierce and intense; the cavern shook with the force of the fight.

Each person fought with everything they had, and despite their weapons and magic clashing against the Troll, his regenerative abilities were too powerful. Sweat mixed with blood and dirt as the battle raged on tested the party's determination and skill, pushing them to the limit in this fight for survival.

"This is endless... My Anima allows me to cast almost endlessly, but what the fuck is this!?" Odette cried, her arms trembling as her flames began to wither and the blue sigil started to fade, no longer allowing her to cast spells faster and with a lower cost.

The Troll's roar of pain filled the cavern as it struggled to defend itself against their combined efforts. Every blow, dodge and spell was crucial as the battle's outcome hung in the balance.

All the party could feel the tension from this long and stalemated fight, now filled with wounds and blood; each girl started to draw out their hidden potential, realising their small training in the dojo was nothing compared to real fights deep in the dungeon.

The tension was palpable as the fight raged on, each party member giving their all to defeat the formidable Troll and emerge victorious.

'Efrita'

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

'Silvari!'

'Come out and smash this bastard into the ground! If you defeat it, I'll give you 10 days in the medallion with just the three of us!'

Vincent's body leapt into the air, using the wall as a foothold and landed on the Troll's back, stabbing Raizel deep inside as her blade transformed into a kind of cross, lodging itself in the Trolls neck.

- My beautiful maidens!

- Your loving husband seeks your aid!

- Thy flaming radiance and wondrous flames, Please enrich and lighten my world!

- Thou glistening frost, more beautiful than winter's snow! Ah, my beloved snow princess! Please enter my embrace!

His chant was loud but fast, almost completed in a matter of seconds as a blue and red radiance of sparkling gems and lights swelled around his body before suddenly, two huge figures began to form.

- Show me your magnificent and perfect True Forms!

Suddenly, after the last words, the humanoid forms deformed before growing larger, now close to a red flame around 9ft tall and a blue rose close to 13ft tall in the huge underground cavern with a roof higher than 20ft; both could appear easily.

'Darling!?'

'Husband!!'

Efrita and Silvari transmitted their shock, scared to let him see their true, monstrous forms in case he would no longer want them, as they weren't real humanoids.

Vincent raised his hand and summoned forth Efrita, called Silvaria.

The scene was one of pure magic and wonder. Vincent stood atop the massive black Troll's back; his arms raised high above his head as he summoned the power of the elements.

His summoning and chanting for the dragons was a sight to behold, as brilliant red and blue particles of magic swirled around Vincent's hands. The cavern was filled with vibrant and otherworldly energy as the dragons materialised on the top of the Troll's back.

Efrita emerged from the depths of the earth, her scales shining bright as she let out a roar. She was a creature of fire, with particles of red and orange flame dancing around her body, casting an eerie glow on the surrounding area. Two huge wings spread before letting out a roar as she materialised.

Her body was made entirely of raging flames. Her eyes glowed with a fierce intensity, and her wings spread wide, sending a wave of heat through the cavern. The Troll let out a roar of pain as Efrita unleashed her fiery breath upon it, the flames engulfing the Troll in an inferno.

As Efrita stopped beside Vincent, her wings softly flapping as she looked at him with an affectionate gaze, her massive dragon eyes almost bigger than his body as they narrowed.

"My beloved husband, this Efrita priestess and queen of the red dragons answer your call as your loving wife!" (Drak'zil Tongue.)

Vincent turned his attention to the other side and summoned a blue ice dragon.

Silvaria broke through space and materialised with a wave of freezing energy, shattering the air that froze in her presence, her body made entirely of ice and snow. As she touched down, the ground beneath her feet froze solid, the ice particles forming sharp spikes that penetrated the Troll's thighs, stopping his movement and resisting the flames from Efrita completely.

Her wings spread wide, sending a wave of cold through the cavern. The Troll let out a roar of pain as Silvaria unleashed her icy breath upon it, the ice encasing the Troll in a layer of frost.

Silvaria, the female blue ice dragon, her a body made entirely of ice and snow. Her eyes glowed with a fierce intensity as she moved her humongous body beside the small Daemon and brushed her nose against his body, the powerful and cold snort that filled his body was strangely comfortable.

"Ah~ This is me, Darling! Silvana's true form! The Queen of the Blue dragon and your future wife, no matter how many times we are reincarnated! Hah~ haah...!" Silvari gave a furtive glance towards Efrita as if she won against her sister before her eyes narrowed, snorting at the body of Vincent, causing her ice to go berserk, filling the room with a frozen rose filled with flaming petals from Efrita's flames.

"Shall we kill this damn troll?"

They stopped their scene after only a few moments passed in real-time thanks to Efrita and Silvari slowing the sensation of time around themselves, so for the Troll, only a moment passed before his entire body was filled with flames and ice.

A loud growl left his mouth before trying to swing them from his body.

They sank their massive claws into his flesh like raw meat and hooked inside; the two dragons began to bite and tear the flesh of the Troll's neck as it fell to its knees under the huge weight and damage.

Upon seeing the two dragons, a strange feeling occurred in both Vincent's and Odette's chests, like they met an enemy, something they wanted to fight, defeat, and press beneath their feet.

One day, the Phoenix Vincent might fight a battle of one phoenix and multiple female dragons and come out victorious!

Two loud dragon roars sounded as the Troll seemed to weep, his hands dragging his body towards the opposite end of the cave, where a huge door lay.
