Chapter 221
Year 7445, Month 12, Day 27
The sound of slurping an insects internal organs echoes around and a bad smell covers the area.
""Return""
An order from Miduchi's {Party-ization} was sent out. I guess she's saying we should all return back to a safe place before discussing things once again. Just as you can expect from an opponent that looks stronger than ogres, it's important to confirm the sequence and things. Let alone when it's against an opponent with a skill like {Super.Regeneration Type III} that makes no sense. It's also a monster that we're seeing for the first time so there's no loss in being careful here.
"Most likely, that's a Troll."
After returning about 200 meters to a passage with good visibility, we all gathered along the wall as teacher Miduchi's lecture time started.
"Troll.."
"Somehow, I feel like I've heard the name before."
"..The Troll I know of is a lot fatter.."
"So that's a, Troll huh.."
"Troll?"
Just now Toris and Zulu said things like they know about it.
"Zulu do you know about it? Probably, I think there's no mistake that it's a Troll or a related species. Even if you injure them they recover from it right away and they're a troublesome monster where even if you cut off their limbs, the limbs move and they continue to attack."
Miduchi glanced at my face for a moment while explaining it. Yeah. That's the right answer. I told her with my eyes. Certainly it was a Troll. But she really does know anything. Incidentally Toris said something like he knew it as well but it seems it was a character that appears in a certain famous computer game. Even I've heard the name of it before.
Well, in my case if you were to say {Troll} the first image that comes to mind is a {Trawl}. Though I think the spelling is probably different. Because the body of the fish is easy to hurt, in exchange for the value of it depreciating rapidly, it catches bottom dwelling fish (it catches the type of living along the ocean bed. Obviously shrimp and crabs are included) and quite literally catches everything it can so it's huge on unloading.
"I've never seen one before. In the Southern parts of Devas of the Weshuppu region I've heard that a monster called the {Swamp.Troll} appears in the marshlands there. It seems it's extremely powerful on top of being brutal, it has enough stamina as if it doesn't ever get tired, and it moves at quick speeds which don't match up to it's large body so it's a frightening monster and just as Miduchi-sama just said even if you injure they recover right away, I've heard it has a very troublesome regeneration ability. However, that is.."
Something like that is in Devas! It's hard to tell while it's crouching down, but that, if it were stand up I feel like it'll be taller than an ogre.
"Th..That sort of enemy how are we supposed to fight it!?"
Gwine said with a slightly frightened expression. Yeah, it's not unreasonable to say something like that.
"There's several methods but the representative is to burn it's wounds with oil and fire or acid. Also, it's a method that takes force but you accumulate damage on it to where the regeneration can't keep up to defeat it and then set it on fire again to kill it."
