A Goblin Executioner was standing outside of the mid-level dungeon that Souta and Yuko went in. The power it possessed surpassed that of the six-circle officers. It could easily crush the skulls of those six-circle officers like nothing.
"Boss, why are we here?" One of the green-skinned creatures behind the goblin executioner asked.
"I'm here to bring back a mere goblin to the lord." The Goblin Executioner said as he glanced at his subordinates behind him. He didn't want to come here to meet a mere goblin that doesn't even possess a monster orb but it was his lord's order so he could quietly follow it.
He wondered what his lord saw to that goblin.
"Boss, do you want us to go inside and bring that goblin here?" His subordinate asked him in a polite tone. His subordinates were already at the level of fourth evolution.
"No, let's just wait here. That goblin will eventually exit this nest of trolls." The goblin executioner shook his head. He sat on the ground as he started deep in the dungeons.
A third, fourth, and fifth evolution monsters were intelligent enough to converse with another monster. No, that's the wrong words. At their level, they learned the monster language to converse with any type of monster be it orc and dark vine eater. As long as it was a monster they would be able to understand it.
A monster language was different from humans and demis. The monster have their own unique language just like their best feram. It was entirely different from the language of humans and demis. Every monster naturally learned the monster language when they reached their third evolution. This was one of the reasons why third evolution monsters were called true monsters.
"Boss, a group of trolls is approaching us. They asked why are we in their territory." His subordinates said to him.
"Hmm...? Right? This place is Jarkal's territory, the troll overlord." The goblin executioner muttered as he removed his eyes from the dungeon and looked in the sky.
Normally, a fifth evolution monster wouldn't leave their designated territory. But this was a special occasion. Someone ordered him to take a certain goblin.
The Troll Overlord naturally noticed the existence of a fifth evolution monster in its territory. If this was low-level monsters, humans, or demis the troll overlord would ignore it. A monster at their level didn't need to eat as their body was self-sufficient. That's why they rarely got out of their nest and bothered other creatures.
Thick and dense best feram started to leak out of the goblin executioner's body. Veins bulge out of his arms, legs, and forehead. His whole being was full of fighting intent.
"Come, Jarkal!!"
...
Souta and Yuko already killed the twenty trolls and troll shaman. It took five minutes before the two of them killed all the trolls. If Souta had [Shadow Bind] then he could easily kill these unfortunately he couldn't use his spell.
He checked the corpse of the trolls and didn't find any valuable things.
"There's nothing here," Souta said as he stood up and went towards the troll shaman. He crouched down and checked its body.
"The staff..."
He found that the staff was a blue grade weapon. It could raise the spell power of the holder by five percent. Not bad for a blue grade weapon. He could sell it later.
"Oh? Two mana potions..."
He also found two mid-grade mana potions in the pocket of the troll shaman's robe. Souta drunk the two mana potions without hesitation and he saw the changes in his system. He would be able to use his mana soon and he was looking forward to that day.
Souta and Yuko continued to move after Souta check the corpses of the trolls. There's no trap in this dungeon. The second evolution trolls weren't intelligent enough to place traps in the nest. All they knew were hunting and fighting. If there's an intelligent troll, then Souta would know it immediately.
The left path was the nest of the troll. There's no trap here so they could live here in this place. While the other path, the right path, was a place full of traps. And that's if Souta wasn't wrong. There's a chance that his conjecture wasn't correct.
Souta shrugged his shoulder and muttered, "I'll just clear this place first before I go there."
He walked forward and guessed that they were closed to the leader of the trolls. They met powerful trolls on their way and both of them annihilated all the trolls without sparing a single troll. From colorless grade equipment, the troll's weapon was getting stronger as they continue to move forward.
Yellow grade and blue grade weapons were the ones that the trolls used in the deep dungeons. Also, every troll here was at the second evolution stage. They were powerful enough to annihilate a normal party of C-rank adventurers, unfortunately, Souta and Yuko were powerful. All of them died after they faced the two-man group of a goblin and a bear.
They also found some health potions and mana potions while hunting the trolls in the dungeon. Souta drunk all the mana potion that they found in this dungeon. He was eager to recover his mana pool as soon as possible for him to show the true power of a Battle Mage class.
Souta and Yuko arrived in a very wide place. This was the widest space that they saw in this dungeon. The place approximately had thirty meters in diameter. At the center of the place, five trolls were standing while looking at them with bloodshot eyes. Their killing intent flooded the entire area. All of them were armed with sharp weapons.
Souta ignored the four trolls as he focused his attention at the troll in the middle of the group. He narrowed his eyes while looking at that troll.
The troll at the center of the group was different from the other troll. It was larger and bigger than the four trolls. It also has four arms and its sharp fangs were sticking out of its mouth. Veins were bulging out of its thick muscles. Each of its hands was holding sharp weapons like sword, axe, or spear.
The Four Arm Troll.
One of the rare species of trolls.
"So a four-arm troll is the boss of this dungeon...?" Souta muttered as a grin formed on his face. This troll should be closer to third evolution. A level 35-39 monster was the boss of this ordinary mid-level dungeon.
This species of trolls was boasted their powerful strength.
"Yuko, let's go! I'll leave the other trolls to you!" Souta said as he bent his knees and launched himself towards the four arm troll.
Swoosh!
Souta arrived in front of the four arm troll and he slashed his sword horizontally. The four arm troll growled before he lifted up the sword in his hand to blocked Souta's slash.
Clang!
A loud metallic sound echoed as the vajra sword and the four arm troll's weapon collided.
'A purple grade sword...?' Souta thought as he took a looked at the four arm troll's sword. It seems that the four weapons in this troll's hand were purple grade weapon.
A sword in the upper left arm, a saber in the upper right arm, a spear in the lower left arm, and an axe in the lower right arm. And on that of these, all the weapons were purple grade.
Swoosh!!
The four arm troll pushed Souta away before thrusting the spear in his hand.
[Cat's Speed]!
Souta quickly activated one of his skills before tilting his head to the side, avoiding the tip of the spear.
That was close. This four arm troll was an experienced fighter.
Souta twisted his body in the air and landed on the ground. He looked up and saw that the four arm troll was already in front of him. The four arm troll swung the axe in his hand towards Souta at high speed.
[Triple Muscle Strengthening]!
He tightly gripped the handle of the vajra sword before he swung it towards the axe of the four arm troll.
Clang!
He managed to parry the attack of the four arm troll. The four arm troll shifted his body weight as he moved his body. He then thrust the spear in his hand, aiming at Souta's head.
Souta already anticipated this move of the troll. After he parried the troll's attack, he stepped out of the four arm troll's spear range.
The tip of the spear stopped closed to Souta's nose.
"Heh~" Souta grabbed it using his free hand and pulled the four arm troll towards him. He then used [Dash] to close the gap between them before he used the [Stab] skill.
No matter how tough the body of the four arm troll the [Stab] will still pierce its defense. The [Stab] was already a level 4 skill and its piercing effect was high so it could easily penetrate the body of a second evolution monster.
