The 7th Story: Death Battle with the Trolls
Gal, Kia and I are approaching the trolls while crouching.
The strategy is as follows:
First I shoot the troll that is resting on a rock with my bow.
At the same time Gal bashes his shield with his sword to wake up the other troll, and then Kia shoots an arrow to provoke it.
After that I separate the troll that I shoot in the eye from the other troll and the other 2.
After separating the trolls I will use my knife and get to the trolls back.
Using the stabbed knife as a foothold I will climb to the troll’s neck and stab on the backbone with another knife, after that I will join the other 2 and repeat.
We all took our positions.
I open the status screen, and add +5 to strength and +10 to dexterity.
Along with the sound of the arrow *HYUN*, it tore the troll’s eye and sticks there.
“GUGYA”
The troll screams loud enough to deafen.
As the other troll was surprised, it raised his upper body, Gal bashes his shield to attract the troll’s attention, Kia concentrates and shoots the troll in the hand that is carrying the club dealing some damage.

“Guooooo”
Along with its cry the troll that was lying down began to run to Gal and Kia.
“Slow” [Yoji]
The troll was duller than I thought.
If it is like that, then 2 persons can manage it somehow if they keep some distance.
For the moment I go around the troll’s back and move the points added to dexterity to strength.
I take out ten knives while running at the troll’s back, and while he is swinging wildly the club in his hand I throw the knives to its back.
There is no way to fail such a big target.
*ZUBUT* The knives pierce its back.
Five out of ten pierced up to the handle, but the rest failed because of the timing or because the handle hit the back.
But with five knives it is perfect.
I collect a knife that fell around my foot, then aiming for the moment when the troll’s movement becomes sluggish I move while using the knives as footholds.
As soon as the troll feels something climbing on its back, it tries to move its arms to bash it off, but its hands don’t reach its back.
Meanwhile I climbed up to the troll’s neck using the thrown knives as footholds and stab the troll on its neck with the knife on my right hand.
“Guoooooo”
The troll cries and starts to shake its big body.
I supported my body by stepping on the previously thrown knives and grab another one with the left hand.
The troll wiggles and shakes its big body, but the +15 strength is not that weak.
I grasped firmly the knives on my left and right hands so that I would not be swung around.
While somehow supporting my whole weight with my left arm, when the troll’s movement became dull I put the foot on the knives again and with the knife on my right hand I began to stab repeatedly.
(If you are reading this in a page that is not https://sheeptranslator.wordpress.com/ , this is a stolen translation, you should support the original translator)
I stab over and over again.
Time passed as I struggled, it could be seconds, minutes or just a moment, but it is desperate to me who am clinging to its back.
Because the structure of the troll’s body is like a human’s body it should be possible to cut the nerves in the neck to disconnect the brain from the body, but because it is a demon, I can’t be sure.
Although it is worrying, I can’t do anything about it but keep stabbing.
“Guooooooo”
Right after the troll’s big cry its muscles that were rigid like a rock suddenly relaxed.
The troll falls on its face and all of its body twitches while it groans and struggles to move.
“Yoshaaa. Successful” [Yoji] [1]
I quickly got up from the troll’s back and ran to where the other 2 were being chased by the troll and scream to Kia.
“Kia, the eyes, aim for the eyes!” [Yoji]
When Kia saw me coming and screaming, he took aim and shot the troll in the eye, and then the troll’s eye was crushed.
As I approached, Gal shouted and bashed his shield to call the troll’s attention, and it was done so well that the troll’s back was right in front of me.
As before, I stabbed the knife on the troll’s back with full power; I had plenty of leeway as I climbed this time and cut the troll’s neck with a knife.
As the troll lies down on its stomach, Gal stands on its back, puts all his weight on his sword and stabs at the troll’s heart.
Honestly I lost the strength in my arms after the fight with the 2 trolls, so I am sitting while watching the situation.
(If you are reading this in a page that is not https://sheeptranslator.wordpress.com/ , this is a stolen translation, you should support the original translator)
Kia started to burn some white smoke as signal to the merchant caravan to advance.
“You did it”
“You really did it”
“Nice”
The three gave a shout full of delight.
While the merchant caravan was coming, the three of them kept hugging each other as if to confirm their safety.
Gal failed to avoid the troll’s attacks some times and now has his arm broken.
However it seemed that thanks to the adrenaline in combat he didn’t notice it.
When he started to feel relieved of finishing the trolls, greasy sweat and pain began to surge.
I started to walk to Gal and used the healing skill I learnt to heal him.
The merchant caravan took 30 minutes to arrive, and then Mare-san checked the goods of the destroyed merchant caravan.
“I thought so. I was wondering if it would be them. My prediction was accurate. Damn it!” [Mare]
As expected, that carriage was from Mare-san’s acquaintance.
After checking the surroundings we found many corpses, but there was no survivor.
It seems that the caravan had 8 guards because of the equipment of the corpses, but as expected, when fighting the 2 trolls in an sudden ambush it is complicated without any strategy.
To be honest, it would have been the same to Gal and the others.
But it was possible to take the initiative when we noticed them from far away with the hawk’s eyes, and then thinking about their weak point.
Even if we fought at full force, with everyone being novice it would result in annihilation.
The troll’s dead body is moved from the highway, and to be sure that other demons won’t come attracted to the corpses, we burn and bury them, and then we begin to move to the next village.
