Odyssey To Dominion

Chapter 30: 30. Troll Subjugation.



The group continues on their quest to slay a troll, they came across monsters that wouldn't normally be seen here, example the goblins. The normal goblins were green, small and sluggish with weapons but the goblins now had a purplish tone as they moved faster than normal adventurers, you would need to be at Iron rank to fight these goblins.

"What the heck is going on?" Terry says, "These goblins shouldn't be here." He slashes at a green purple goblin as it splits in half, Harry uses his broadsword and slashes about 3goblins in halves.

Harry observes the monsters, "Aren't these goblins from the Abyssal Sanctum?"

"That place?!" Eshur asks surprised, "Isn't that the highest rank dungeon with the highest difficulty in the kingdom?" he blocks goblins who throw rocks while coordinating their attacks, some goblins throw rocks as others fight.

Ifa gets her arrows, "It's the most difficult dungeon on the continent. If these goblins from that dungeon are here it can't be good." She fires quick arrows piercing the heads of 2 goblins but they don't die, they charge at her as she fires another wave at them killing them. Normal goblins would have died instantly with a shot to the head but these guys would even fight if half of their brains remained.

Harry nods, "It must be a dungeon break."

Terry is shocked, "WHAT THE FUSH!" He slashes 4 goblins at once killing them, "The most difficult dungeon on the continent has a dungeon break?!" remaining 3 goblins, one seems to be using magic, so I reacted quickly and shot a fire bomb at it, I didn't want to give any chances since these goblins were stronger than normal.

I (Isolde) start my spell, "Gather in my hands, scorch all my enemies to cinders leave no trace behind. FIRE BOMB" a giant orb of fire appears on her staff as it fires towards the goblins, it explodes *BOOOOM* as about 10 meters around the goblin is scorched. I asked, "What is a dungeon break?" all the goblins are dead.

Harry's glances at me, "AH right, you didn't take part in any of the raids. A dungeon break is a phenomenon that occurs when the dungeon experiences something unusual. It's normally when a boss monster gets the chance to leave its floor to a weaker floor scaring all the monsters there as they flee to weaker floors. Normally this causes a fight in the dungeon and the survivors flee out of it, that's when A rank to SSS rank monsters tend to appear, in rare cases even a Legendary rank monster can appear.

Ifa speaks, "The Legendary rank monster is given the title of Monster king on par to a Demon king, there are instances of the Monster kings slaying the demon kings."

Eshur snorts, "Yeah, those bastards are pretty tough, only Adamantine adventures or even the highest rank, Legendary adventurer can fight them, those guys have their levels being way above 100."

I (Isolde) feel uncomfortable, "They must be tough." We continue moving towards the mountain.

Terry shrugs, "Tough doesn't even begin to comprehend them. A Legendary rank adventurer can fight against an entire kingdom alone. I hear their strength is comparable to 100,000 men, nations go to war just to have one of them."

Ifa nods, "Luckily they are rare, even Adamantine adventurers are rare enough as I've only seen 2 of them in Mirthendom. The guild master and Justo Gi, just for the record, it takes 10 Adamantine to stand up to a Legendary adventurer."

Isolde is shocked, "They're that strong?!"

Eshur grins, "I bet you Harry's beard they are." Harry takes a torch and starts chasing the dwarf wanting to burn the forest on Eshur's face. We continued for a while then I asked a question which has been bothering me,

Isolde is nervous, "Hey guys, do you think the troll is here due to the dungeon break?"

Harry nods, "I'm sure of it. our group is too powerful for a single troll, that leads me to believe it's a troll from the Abyssal Sanctum."

I got nervous after hearing that, I've been to the Abyssal Sanctum before and that place is too scary, the monsters alone can tear through armor like butter. My senior told me that from when I started out adventuring, I was in and over my head thinking I could take the monsters on because of my talent Prodigy Mage.

We made it to the top of the mountain as a troll is sitting on a tree it had pulled down, the troll is exuding a powerful aura, I used APPRAISAL on it and saw its level,

Isolde warns the others, "Guys, the troll is at level 33, it's D rank."

Harry looks around the troll, "We can take it by surprise, D rank monsters aren't weak especially when trolls are supposed to be E."

Ifa stares at the resting troll, "It's from the Abyssal Sanctum, of course it's not weak."

 We move to a bush and hide, Harry signal me as I start to cast a spell, one of my strongest spells. Ifa goes up a tree and aims at the troll's eyes, Eshur stays with me should our surprise attack fail, Harry and Terry flank the troll to attack it from its sides when I use my spell.

I (Isolde) start my spell, "Ignite the sparks of my heart into lightening, let it move with the sound of thunder. LIGTHENING STRIKE." A lightening spell moves from my staff at high speed as it strikes the troll burning its body in the process while paralyzing it. Ifa fires her arrow as she enchants them with Fairy magic and blinds the troll.

*ROOOAAAARRR* the troll falls as Terry and Harry charge at it as it's on the ground, Ifa fires more arrows at its joints as I use a buff spell on Harry and Terry. The troll starts to get up as Terry uses his sword to slash its joints and Harry uses his broadsword to smash the troll's head, a normal troll would have died from having its head smashed in like that but this troll was different, it still gets on its feet then it swings its hands around trying to hit Harry and Terry.

Harry and Terry jump back as Ifa fires explosive arrows at the troll at its hands are blasted off and its leg making it fall again. I fire a spell that creates burning liquid at the troll's head as it screams in pain, it swings its leg at Harry as he swings his sword at the leg but the force is too strong as he's sent flying into a tree. Terry moves quickly as he dodges and slash at the troll. I cast a healing spell on Harry as he joins the fight, Eshur rushes and stands before Terry as he blocks the troll's punches, Eshur uses a counter skill as the troll is pushed back by the force of its hands and falls on its back.

I use another lightening spell and hit it right in the head as Harry appears behind the troll and beheads the troll, it stops moving as it falls on the ground. We recover from the fight as he look at the troll on the floor,

Eshur breathes heavily, "Hah, it's a good thing the guild sent us. Anyone weaker and they might get done in by this troll."

Ifa sighs, "This proves that a dungeon break has occurred, there'll probably organize a raid to prevent a monster tide."

Isolde asks, "A monster tide from the Abyssal Sanctum, how many adventurers do you think we'll need to fight?"

Harry speaks, "From my experience alone, I'd say about 30 for a normal dungeon. But for that place, I'd assume a 100 at least if we want to make sure we win in 1 try."

Terry chuckles, "Come on guys, you make things look too grim. This is Isolde's first raid. We can't tell her grim facts like picking fruits or growing beard." Harry swings his broadsword as Terry dodges.

Eshur chuckles, "The lad's right," Terry speaks, 'Who're you calling lad?' Eshur continues, "Not all raids end in disasters, sometimes we go to meet a beat up monster and we kill it with no casualties, Hahahahaha."

Ifa shrugs, "He is right, one of the tides was caused by a beat up dragon monster. We just stayed back and hit it with spells till it died." Why do I feel like we're the bad guys here.

Isolde smiles wryly, "Well, I hope it's something like that." Yes, it's better to fight a beat up monster than one in great health. We continue down the mountain after Harry took the head to show as proof that the troll is from the Abyssal Sanctum and Terry took its ear to submit to the guild for the reward. Our way back wasn't that easy as we came across wolves from the Abyssal Sactum, they were fast and destroyed Eshur's shield with their teeth, but his skills protected him so he was unharmed, we managed to reach the guild building safely and completed the quest.
