Subjugating monsters (2)

Kwaaaa~~~

A huge dragon spewed lightning from its horn and attacked the elves from a distance.

However, the elves skillfully summoned earth spirits to block the lightning emitted by the dragon, and then fired their bows to attack the ogres and cyclops blocking the path first.

“Your Majesty! A dragon… Do you really know the identity of that monster?”

In response to Kurimu’s question, Yuno didn’t know how to explain for a moment and rolled her eyes.

‘Um… I have to say it’s a dragon, but they won’t understand… what should I say?’

After thinking for a moment, Yuno decided to just explain what he roughly knew and began to explain.

“Ah… I thought I saw a similar monster in an old book. There, it is called a dragon and is said to be an animal that trains to become a god. It is said that if you succeed in training for a thousand years, you will become a god, and if you fail, you will become corrupted and become a giant snake… But that appearance…”

” That’s right… It looks like it’s an animal that failed training as Your Highness said… Then, was there any explanation as to the energy it controls? ”

“Yes. That’s all the information I know”

“In that case, we will proceed as originally planned. Your Majesty, please enter his territory slowly”

“If it is an area…where does the area start?”

“Can you see where our archers are forming a formation and drawing a line? If you go just 100 meters further, you will reach the roots of the World Tree. And you can think of that as his territory”

As soon as Kurimu’s explanation ended, Yuno ran forward. Small and medium-sized monsters such as orcs and koblets rushed at him, but Yuno easily slaughtered them and continued heading forward, with the target point right in front of him.

But before we knew it, a huge troll was standing guard there, so Yuno stopped in front of the troll.

“Get out of the way!!”

“You can’t get out of the way. This is the place that Miri ordered me to protect. I have a mission to protect that command”

Yuno’s eyes widened in surprise that the troll spoke human language.

‘It’s fascinating, but we can’t waste time here.’

As Yuno clenched his fist with all his might, a bright blue energy began to seep into his fist.

The force continued to grow stronger and radiated tremendous energy, but the troll could only stare at it in silence.

“Go! Haaap!!”

With a sound of cheers, Yuno’s fist filled with courage flew towards the troll’s chest at high speed.

Teuong!

However, Yuno’s fist was blocked by the troll’s outstretched hand, and when Yuno looked at the troll’s hand that was in contact with her own, there was a red glowing energy there.

“Ma… Master?”

“Did you think only humans can surround their bodies with mana? What an arrogant thought. The great spirits of nature are with me!!”

Yuno’s eyes wavered as if she couldn’t believe it, but she soon glared at him and strengthened her outstretched fist.

However, the troll pulled out an ax from its back with its other hand and swung it at Yuno, so Yuno had no choice but to back away.

Huh!

Small hatchets flew towards Yuno along with the sound of cutting in the wind.

Normally, it was a hatchet that he would have trusted his body and just hit, but because it was loaded with red mana, Yuno was swinging the new type to avoid the axes.

“Khahahaha!! There is no such thing as a rat!!”

“That guy!!”

The moment Yuno got angry, the troll’s new form disappeared and came in front of Yuno in an instant, and his giant ax hit Yuno’s neck like a beam of light.

Yuno was surprised because it was such a sudden surprise attack, but he calmly struck away the ax with an energized hand and extended the blade toward the troll’s nape.

The speed of the blade seemed to be faster than lightning, but the troll also avoided Yuno’s blade by just slightly twisting its neck, threw its body backwards, widened the distance again, and threw the hatchet.

‘shit! I never thought there would be such an incredible monster among the giant monsters… His skills are slightly lower than that of the teacher, and his skills are definitely higher than Eliza’s…’

Through the previous exchange of moves, Yuno was able to roughly understand the master troll’s skills.

‘It’s a bit inferior to me, but… I think I’ll have to take a long time to kill it. But there’s not enough time for that.’

In the back, the elves were engaged in a fierce battle, but they were unable to advance for fear of being caught up in the dragon’s energy. However, the monsters continued to flock, and the number of elves being sacrificed was gradually increasing.

So Yuno came up with a plan and talked to the troll.

“Hey! It seems like a very skilled troll. What is its name? Even if it’s a troll, it probably has a name, right?”

“Hmph! Asking for the other person’s name but not revealing your own name is a talented but rude person! My name is Ajin! The proud chieftain of Jumani! What is your name?”

“My name is Yuno! He is the Third Prince of the Balkan Empire and Count of Tessidanicana Territory! Well, I’ve finished the tongseongmyeong, but… don’t you want to try power vs power? If you were a man, you wouldn’t avoid me, right?”

At Yuno’s provocation, the troll named Ajin snorted.

“Good! Let’s compete sometime!! Are you going to pit humans against trolls in a head-to-head battle of strength vs. strength? You’re brave!! Out of respect for your courage, I will eat your corpse!!”

“If that’s possible, as much as you want!”

Yuno stretched out both arms and Ajin grabbed Yuno’s approaching hand and began a head-to-head battle of strength versus strength.

“Khaaap!!!”

“Urrrraaaa”

The battle between the two was fierce. While the confrontation continued, Yuno’s hand continued to glow blue, and Ajin’s thick hand also continued to glow red to the extent that Yuno’s light could not be defeated.

The glowing energy was similar, but as time passed, the troll’s huge body began to gradually push back.

“Keuuu…i can’t admit it!! Is it true that I am pushed aside by humans…?”

“Heh! Did you think humans couldn’t defeat trolls by force? What an arrogant thought”

Ah-jin, who received exactly what she said, lowered her face in shame. Then, the mana in his arms began to gradually decrease, and Yuno, who noticed this, sent all the mana he had into his arms and instantly pushed Ahjin.

“Kaaa!!”

In the end, Ajin’s arm broke, and Yuno’s victory was confirmed.

“Keuuu! It’s a complete defeat… But Miri’s orders are strict! I can’t fall down here… Wow!!”

Even with her arms bent, Ah-jin attacked Yuno with her whole body and tried to crush her with her weight, but when Yuno’s powerful fist hit her stomach, Ah-jin fainted and fell to the floor.

“If I think of him as a monster, should I kill him… It’s a waste to just kill him… I can communicate with him… He’s quite manly…”

Moreover, since there was no one who could compete with him in terms of strength vs. strength, Yuno, who was able to enjoy the match where he gave his all, felt regretful about killing Ah-jin.

In the end, Yuno dragged the troll back to the base and drove a stake into both hands and feet of the unconscious Ajin.

“It’s a troll, so playing shouldn’t be a problem… Queen Kurimu! I’ll go to the front again!”

While Yuno was capturing Ajin, Kurimu also fought the ogre that had reached the level of master, and was only able to cut off the ogre’s head after receiving help from Eliza and Catherine, so he was surprised at Yuno’s inaction when he returned after capturing the master-level troll by himself. expressed.

‘If that person is true to the goddess’ prophecy… He will be able to hold out until we defeat that cursed dragon… Goddess Venus, please give us your blessings.’

“Giggle Don’t worry too much. That guy must be much stronger than the Queen thinks”

“Yes… I believe it. Your Highness Yuno will definitely be able to save the World Tree”

Kurimu once again prayed to the goddess in his mind and advanced to the front lines, leading the archers.

While Yuno was fighting Ajin, many of the giant monsters were eliminated, and the front line was moving forward little by little under Kurimu’s command, so Yuno was able to reach the dragon’s territory without any hindrance.

“Is this the dragon’s territory? Hmm… What’s particularly strange… Hmm?”

As soon as they reached the area that Kurimu had told them to be careful of, Yuno looked around but couldn’t find anything special.

However, Yuno’s energy told her that something was approaching her, and Yuno began to raise the mana of her entire body to fight the approaching energy.

“What is this?”

‘Hohoho, it’s pretty good! How can a human being resist my energy? Hohoho’

Yuno was taken aback by the woman’s voice echoing in his brain and lost all of his mana.

‘What… is this voice? Could it be that dragon that is encroaching on the World Tree?’

‘joy! Make no mistake! Who knows that someone needs the energy of a tree like this? Because there was no spirit creature with a positive energy that I could be satisfied with! But… there’s a tremendous amount of energy sleeping inside your body… If I absorb all that energy, I will be able to ascend to heaven again!’

As soon as the voice finished speaking, a large amount of energy came through the gap where the mana was scattered and began to weigh down Yuno’s body, and Yuno gritted his teeth to resist the energy.

‘Hehehe okay… If you don’t want to be crushed to death, resist hard… In the meantime, I’ll eat up your energy so hohohoho’

As soon as Yuno felt something slowly slipping out of her lower body, she sent the promised hand signal behind her back.

“His Highness Yuno has sent a signal!! Bekes Luana’s SS charge!! The archers begin covering fire!!”

With Kurimu’s command, the second act of the battle for the fate of the elves began.
