27 Troll Problems

Ai sat up in a daze, looking up at the situation. The troll was standing and regenerating quickly while Amari was getting ready for combat. Ai looked down and her eyes widened in shock, seeing the bloody stumps where her hands used to be, she began to hyperventilate.

'Shit! Shit! One hand was doable, but both hands?' She tried to channel her healing spells, but nothing would emerge. Spells were cast using the focal point in one's palms, but without her hands, she may as well just give up spellcasting at this point.

She tried to control her breathing, she was useless at this point, but she just needed to wait until she could get to a healer. Surely Amari could take on a few monsters by herself, right?

*CRASH*

Amari was flung through the stone wall, landing next to Ai. She turned and looked on in horror as the hulking mass of fat and flesh hobbled towards them. The orcs were killed, but the troll was quickly regenerating from the large number of slash marks decorating its body.

"Shit!" Ai yelled out and twisted her body, launching herself up and landing on her feet. She locked her eyes on the troll as she activated her abilities, hoping that maybe she could gain the trolls regenerative abilities.

No dice. She looked down at Amari who was still recovering from a devastating head injury and placed a foot on her, blinking them up onto the table. She immediately ducked down, hoping that the troll had lost sight of them.

"UUUUGGGGGGGAAAAAA!" The troll bellowed out and started smashing the ground where they were. 'Good, he doesn't realize where we are.'

"Mnnn... Sis? What Ha-- Oh my god! Your hands!" Amari finally came to her senses but screamed out as Ai cringed her face.

"RRRRRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHH!" The troll howled and threw a large piece of debris, destroyed part of the table, and causing Ai and Amari to fall to the ground below. The troll started to stomp towards them as Amari disappeared in a blur.

"Oi! Over here you oversized blob!" Amari yelled out and threw her sword into the back of the troll, causing it to ignore Ai and turn towards Amari, who was now smirking.

"[Return]!" She said as the sword forced its way through its back and out of its chest, back into Amari's hands. But her expression grew annoyed when the hole closed up almost immediately.

"Tch, damn stubborn bastard. Guess I gotta go big too." Amari threw her sword into the chest of the troll as she unequipped her gear and turned into stone, her feminine form again quickly changing into that of a giant stone golem, she was now just a little smaller than the troll, but many times angrier.

*BOOM BOOM*

Amari and troll traded blows over and over again, but none could seem to deal any damage to the other, every time Amari punched its face into a crater, the bone and flesh would grow back and the troll would swing back, leaving a deep indentation in her stone body that would repair itself just as fast. Something needed to change or else this fight would never end.

Ai watched on as she heard the rope ladder go taut against the stone, looking back, hoping to see either Kenji or Hoat'l, she was horrified to instead see an orc poking its head over the floor, looking at her with perverse intention in its eyes. 'No, please gods no.' She thought as tears began to form. What could she possibly to fend off this attacker, headbutt him till he dies? No, these orcs are too strong for that.

The orc climbed up, followed by another, and another, until five in total had arrived, lecherously staring at Ai. The orcs slowly surrounded her, then one of them reached forward and grabbed hold of her shoulders. However, the moment he touched her, a flash of red appeared, standing above her, followed by a flash of silver that engulfed a wide area, as all five orcs were cut in half.

Ai was in the middle of hyperventilating when all of this went down, and she felt she couldn't breathe, the last thing she could see were arms covered in red, lifting her up to a red chest before her surroundings went completely dark.

"Tch." Kenji clicked his tongue, looking at the stumps Ai had for hands as he flashed to one of the nearby tall countertops. "Sorry I was late. We ran into some problems of our own." Kenji smiled warmly as he gently laid Ai against the wall. He turned towards the battling behemoths and placed a hand over the hilt of his katana. "Guess it's time to earn my keep." He said as he blurred away.

*BOOM*

The troll punched Amari square in the chest, but the indentation healed much slower now. 'Fuck, this isn't good.' Blood started to drip from between the cracks. The troll gave a wicked grin as it knew Amari wouldn't last for much longer, raising its fat foot, it kicked Amari in the stomach, sending her flying through the air, landing close the archway as Kenji flashed right next to her.

Her stone form finally gave out as she reverted back into her nude flesh form, indentations visible on her chest and stomach. Kenji looked down on her and summoned a fancy red robe from his inventory, he laid it on top of her body and picked her up. Holding her tightly to his chest, he flashed back up to where Ai was, gently laying Amari next to her sister. Kenji turned away and flashed in front of the troll once more.

"Let me show you the power of a Level 23 you ugly bastard."

"UUUUUGGGGGGAAAAAHHHH" The troll roared loudly, its noxious breath causing Kenji to hold his hand to his nose.

"Damn, dude, you reek worse than the neckbeards back home." He chuckled before summoning his Jade blade. "Although, I guess I used to be one of them. [Thousand Sword Rain]!" He swung his Jade sword towards the troll and, just as the name implied, a thousand cuts appeared on the surface of the troll.

"Fuck, you gotta be kidding me, well I guess if Amari couldn't take you down, I should have expected this." Kenji mused as every single cut healed over almost instantly.

*BOOM*

The troll smashed the ground where Kenji was standing as he appeared above the troll's head. "[Wind Gods Wrath]!" Kenji shouted as he slashed the jade sword downwards, the sheer force of wind conjured from the swing ripped the troll clean in half, sending the halves across the room. But the wind didn't stop there, it drilled deep into the mountain, leaving a deep hole with no visible bottom.

Kenji stared in amusement as the two halves of the troll crawled towards each other. "Not a chance, big guy. [Wind Reaver]!" He slashed out his Jade sword several times, sending shockwaves to the halves cutting them into pieces. The pieces wriggled on the ground, giving Kenji a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Man that's gross! Guess I gotta burn the pieces." He traced his hand along the edge of the blade as it ignited into fire, and with the flick of his wrist, he sent another shockwave infused with fire at the pile of writhing flesh, igniting it into a blazing inferno.

Kenji sighed in relief. "Finally! Time to get the dwarf and see what we can do about the girls."
