Infinite Realm

Chapter 59 - 56 : Where’s He?



Sato took a step forward and shot forward, almost like a bullet, towards the trolls. Previously, the increase in ability, through the increase in attributes brought about by the Berserk potion, wasn't so absurd. However, as Sato's current attributes had increased quite a lot, thanks to the recent level up and extra points, the ability increase brought about by the Berserk potion became even more obvious.

Sato's speed was far ahead of that of the trolls as he barged into their defense and took them on. He easily dodged their attacks and countered with his. Thanks to the increased strength of about a level upand a half's worth of [Strength] from the potion.

The 3 trolls were annoyed at his fast movements and so decided to surround him and attack at the same time.

One of them lifted it's axe and brought it down at Sato, from the left. The other held it's spear and stabbed forward directly at him. As for the last one, which was low in health when compared to the others, it attacked from the right.(AN: All alignments are done from Sato's PV)

"Mountain slash."

Sato sliced out a heavy strike towards the front-most troll, whose attack was the closest to him.

Sato's sword strike carried a lot of power and force in it, as if it were aimed to slice a mountain in half. Normally, Sato would have used the Lotus Sword art to battle, however he decided to use strength based sword arts to battle the trolls since their sizes make them easy targets and also the Berserk potion had increased his [Strength] even more.

As such, it would be better to use strength based attacks that deal heavy damage that way he could easily end the battle faster. The Mountain slash technique was one that perfectly suited his predicament.

As his sword came into contact with the troll's spear, Sato felt a bit of resistance and force passing through his sword. He grunted and resisted the force, applying more strength to his attack, effectively deflecting the spear aimed towards him.

Sato didn't have any time to breath as the next attack arrived from his left.

*Bang*

A heavy axe came crashing down as Sato moved away from it's path, smashing apart the floor where it landed.

Sato was about to counter when the last attack arrived. Sato easily deflected the weapon but was interrupted once again by the first troll.

All this had happened within a second but even so, Sato realised that if things went on this way, the Berserk potion that he had downed would end up as a waste.

"What are you guys waiting for?" Sato yelled.

"An opportunity and I see it!" Fudo screamed back.

Since Sato had been battling the trolls, he had attracted their aggro and attention towards himself. This gave both Fudo and Chesces the opportunity to land their own special attacks.

Fudo used [Explosion] from [Igneel's guidance] on the weaker troll while Chesces used the Swordsman's [Horizontal slash] at one troll followed by tossing a grenade at the weaker troll. With the addition of the after effects of the [Explosion] skill and the grenade's explosion, the troll that was low in HP, was even closer to its last leg.

On the side of Griffin and Kylian, they both held on against their own troll. Griffin, as an MT, wasn't equipped with a lot of high damage dealing attacks though he had a few, while Kylian was a druid which was more of a support class than a damage class. As a result of this, their grinding rate was far slower when compared to the other 3 but even so, they easily held on against the troll and managed to eliminate almost 30% of its HP.

Sato went on to tank the other two while Chesces handled the last one with Fudo aiding them both though he focused more on Chesces, who obviously had a harder time tanking a troll. If it weren't for the intermittent healing he received from Kylian, Chesces would have been a goner. The same could be said with Sato though thanks to the Berserk potion, he had a much larger HP bar than Chesces. Even with all these issues, the formation of Sato, Chesces and Fudo, gave the trolls a good run for their money.

3 seconds later, the troll with the lowest Hp, which was earlier dealt with by Chesces, Kylian and Griffin, was on its last leg. Fudo, seeing this, fired a [Greater Fireball] at it, finishing off its pitiful life.

"You bastard." Chesces smirked "Stealing my Target."

"Hehe. We're helping. The least you could do is hand is the last kill." Fudo chuckled.

"Come on. Handle the other one. Sato shouted and rushed at one troll hoping to use the last few seconds to finish it.

"On it." Chesces replied.

Fudo fired [Fireball] after [Fireball] at one troll, successfully gaining its attention while Chesces rushed in to try and tank it though he wasn't doing much of a good job when compared to Sato much less a real MT.

Sato took on a single troll and dished out slash after slash, hacks after hacks, not giving it a chance to breath or retreat. Whenever it tried to counter, Sato would strike at its joints, interrupting the attack. Such a troll could only be said to be pitiable in its battle with Sato who was slightly above it in terms of [Strength].

"Mountain slash." Rushing with vigor once more, Sato landed his last attack before the potion's duration ended. He combined both the martial skill, Mountain slash, and the class skill, [Horizontal slash], to finish off the troll.

After that, he joined up with Chesces and Fudo to finish off the 3rd one. With the combined assault of Chesces, Fudo and Sato, the troll didn't stand a chance and it's HP was slowly reduced to a low figure before it fell at the hands of the three.

They then joined up with Griffin and Kylian, who were almost done with their own troll, and finished the job.

"That was stressful." Griffin sighed.

"Thank you." Chesces told Sato.

If it weren't for his timely use of the Berserk potion, it would have taken them longer to have dealt with the trolls. At a time like this, anytime spent is time wasted as more people would soon arrive at the hall. At that time, beating the boss would be just one of their concerns as not everyone would be as nice as Sato and Fudo and agree to work together.

"No problem." Sato stated simply.

"All that's left now is the boss." Kylian spoke as he gazed in the direction of the boss. But what greeted his eyes wasn't the boss in his previous position but an empty spot.

"Where's he?"
