The group walked into the cave that was 5 meters high and was lit up by glowing crystals.
"I wonder if we could sell them for some extra coin." Elysia was fascinated by the crystal as it was a blue colour instead of the usual yellow that the light crystals were.
"We could try to break it after we defeat the boss." Shaman was also curious and would not mind the extra cash as she was unsure how much the item she wanted to get Elysia would cost.
"Well lets get this boss over and done with so we can evolve and get that sacred item." Elysia was eager to fight as she already had drawn her bow with an arrow ready to attack.
They continued to walk down the cave with the stones illuminating the path. They soon approached a 2.5 meter tall troll who was sitting down as visible wind could be seen swirling around him causing a current of wind to flow throughout the cave.
"I thought it was a little chilly when we were walking." Shaman had noticed the wind in the cave but thought nothing much of it.
"Well it seems like we found our target." Elysia already drew her arrow.
"Alright Wolfy make sure you protect Elysia." Shaman noticed that Wolfy would always take the rear and would play a more defensive role.
Wolfy licked Shaman's hand and was happy since he was being recognized, Wolfy then walked next to Elysia and prepared himself.
"Alright let's do this." Shaman started to walk towards the troll who was oblivious to their presence.
Shaman took advantage of this and activated [Shadow cloak] to get as close as she could to the troll. Once she was 5 meters away the troll finally noticed and turned around in a panic, due to Shaman having [Shadow cloak] The troll was unable to see Shaman properly and was confused. Shaman had also inspected the troll to see if She could find any weaknesses.
[Wind troll Garroth]
[Tier 5]
[A troll that has acquired the use of wind but other than that it is a normal troll with extra strength]
[There are no major weakness expect for earth magic to counter the wind]
'tch'
Shaman clicked her tongue as she would have liked to exploit its weakness but she did not learn earth magic. Despite not having a major weakness, Shaman was happy to see it was a tier 5 which would allow Elysia and her to enter the dungeon alone without sneaking in.
Shaman looped around the troll and activated her domain skill changing the grassy floor to a white flower field. The troll looked around in confusion but all of sudden felt heat on his side, but before the troll could react the fire arrow pierced his body causing a small explosion to his side ripping out chunks of the troll's flesh.
"ARRGGGG" The troll screamed out in pain from the arrow and was now kneeling over.
Shaman activated [Deep sea] and shot it towards the troll to trap him. The ball managed to trap the troll and so it started to drown but to Shaman's surprise the troll broke out of the spell with a wind blast.
The wind blast did not stop there as it continued towards Shaman.
Shaman had to use [Water shield] to protect herself as she was rather close to the troll when it broke free from the ball of water. After the wind blade hit the shield, Shaman could feel the impact and saw her mana drop significantly
[MP 1800/2400]
'Shit' Shaman got worried as she won't be able to defend against the trolls attack in a long-term fight.
The troll stood up and it's eyes started to glow red and the wind around the troll became more violent. Shaman understood the troll went into a berserk mode which would mean trouble for them as the explosive power may be too much for them to handle.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "ELYSIA BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GET HIT!!" Shaman was worried about Elysia since she isn't a tank and is probably more of a glass cannon at the moment. Elysia nodded as she felt the aura from the troll and knew it would be bad news if she were targeted.
Shaman during the troll transition used [Sword gale] and [Blazing sword] to attack his ankles to make him immobilized and give Elysia an easy shot.
Shaman used [sword dash] and slashed across the trolls ankle, The troll tried to dodge but the immense speed of the dash and [sword gale] made it impossible for him to react. Shaman also raised [sword dash] to level 5 making it faster.
The troll's feet were cut off which was more damage that Shaman expected. The troll fell over on its knees still screaming in pain. The troll continued to let our wind slashes causing Shaman, Elysia and Wolfy to be constantly on the move.
'This bastard's wind is so annoying.' Shaman was getting more agitated as the wind attacks were just a nuisance.
'Could I take over the wind blades and use it against him?' Shaman was not sure but since she had control over the elements, theoretically she could use the troll's wind and conserve her mana. However, Rea would answer this for Shaman.
[It is possible but you need to have a greater control over the element in order to steal control]
Shaman formed a grin as it was exactly what she needed and she could tell by how the troll is using its magic, it does not have very good control.
Shaman then got to work as the next blade was incoming. Shaman began to feel the ambient mana around her and could feel the cluster of mana within the wind blade. Shaman concentrated on that mana cluster that formed the wind blade and tried grabbing onto it and taking control of it. The troll could feel that its mana was being taken and so it concentrated its wind slashed to Shaman. But before The troll could start Elysia had shot another arrow through the troll's hands making them exploding and disabling its hands. The boss was even more enraged but was unable to send out strong wind blades since it lost its hands and needed them to activate the spell properly.
Elysia giggled and backed off but when she turned to look at the troll she could see a massive wind blade which was twice the size of the troll, cut him in half. Elysia was shocked by this as the wind blade created a deep crater in the cave wall and cut the troll like butter.
Elysia looked over at Shaman and could see her drenched in sweat and heavily panting. Elysia and Wolfy rushed over to the Shaman side.
"WAIT IT IS NOT OVER!!" Despite her Cleary seeing the boss get cut in half Shaman did not get the notification and knew it was not quite over. Elysia halted her steps and tuned to face the troll but was terrified by what she saw.
The troll was elevated in the air by wind and could see that the missing body parts were now turned into wood. It looked down on Shaman in rage and was ready to launch a massive attack.
"Shit it is the special variant of the wind boss." Shaman cursed herself as in the booklet there was a rare chance for there to be a variant of the boss but thought it would be too rare for them to encounter but here it was staring at them.
"Elysia sees if you can create an arrow storm with your fire as it also seems to know wood magic. I will keep it busy while you try to make the spell." Shaman was not betting on the spell for victory but it would help greatly if Elysia was able to create a mass aoe attack.
Shaman also used to heal herself to get rid of the fatigue.
'I should conserve my mana and try to regenerate as much as possible during this fight.' Shaman wanted to save her mana till Elysia was done and so she could save herself if something went wrong.
Elysia got straight to work as she knew it was important that she got the spell done. Shaman on the other hand created a skill with her fire.
[Fireball]
[MP cost varies on size and power]
[Create a condense ball of flames]
'Although I did not want to learn this as I do not want to build such a huge amount of skills it could not be helped.' Shaman thought that if she had too many skills it would be troublesome to remember them so she avoided making too many basic skills.
Shaman shook her head and threw weak fireballs at the troll to keep its attention away from Elysia.
"Hey you mossy bastard, why don't you just kill me." Shaman also taunted the troll and wagged her tail towards the troll. The troll looked at Shaman and instantly charged at her while also throwing wind slashes.
Shaman activated [Shadow cloak] and dodged the attack but to her surprise when the troll crashed into the ground a circle of wooden spikes rose up. They extended out for a few meters just stopping to where Shaman had dodged.
Shaman paled a little as she was extremely close to death.
'note to self don't piss off the boss too much.' Shaman continued to run around and throw weak [fireballs] and waited for Elysia to finish her spell.
*
Elysia was currently trying to manifest multiple fire arrows but was unable to shoot them like a storm.
"How the hell am I meant to do this?" Elysia was currently stumped and confused on how to create a storm of arrows.
"Maybe I should ask Rea." Elysia thought Rea might just give her the answer since she seems to know a lot about the world and magic.
[Try to condense the arrows into one then shoot it up in the air and then let your control over the arrows go and it should create a rain effect]
Elysia's eyes widened as it inspired her and felt like she got the missing part of the puzzle.
"Alright let's give it a try." Elysia created the condensed arrows and pulled her bow back. Elysia started to sweat as the control over the arrows was unstable. Elysia shot the arrow and let go of the control causing the condense arrows to burst out creating a rain effect. A system notification rang out and Elysia had a grin as she just created a new skill.
