《Elf, Human and Vampire》CHAPTER 3: THE BATTLE
Advertisement
From Sora's plan, to take the troll's attention Aoi must create some chaos. So Aoi slowly walking into the middle of the troll base, take out her sword from its sheath and point it forward like she wants to fight them.
From afar, one of the trolls that patrolling that area saw Aoi's action. He quickly draws his sword and points it to Aoi.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Ask him with a high voice.
Aoi with a smirk face. “I’m the reaper and I’m here to take your all life.” Lied her to try provoking him.
“Youuu bastard (kisamaaaa)….” while running toward Aoi and try to attack her with his sword.
Clang!
“That all you got,” said Aoi after blocking his sword attack with her sword. Then Aoi using a little bit of force to her sword to push back that troll. Because of Aoi's action, the troll lost his balance. This change was taken by Aoi to swing her sword and cutting that troll head. Her attack successfully killed that troll.
When realizing that his comrade died, then another troll comes from the back and tries to stab Aoi. But with Aoi quick reflect she dodges that attack and launch a counter-attack toward him. Her action is so fast making that troll don’t have enough time to react and make him lost his life too.
With the two trolls down, many more trolls come out from the hide and attack Aoi. However, all the attack from all the troll is never land on her body. Aoi's move is so fast and smooth like she is invisible. All the attack had been evaded by her and sometimes she lunches a counter-attack.
“Shit…. Why is she so fast?” Said one of the trolls." None of our attacks is land on her". Aoi kills one by one the trolls that come to her while dodging and blocking their attack.
“What the hell you are doing” shouts the troll from afar to his comrade when he realizes that they cannot win. “Get into formation and attack her together. She just alone.”
All the trolls were gathering around and surrounded Aoi. They try to attack Aoi together from all directions. Then, with a quick reflect,
Whoosh!
Aoi jumps to the sky to avoid all that attack. Her jump is so high like she was flying. The reason she can jump so high is because of the combination between her agility with wind magic.
"Now you can dodge our attack while in the mid-air," said the troll that shouts before while throwing his spear toward Aoi's body following by other trolls.
Aoi tried to avoid that attack. However, because she is in mid-air so she cannot move her body freely. It looks like the spear will penetrating her body if she doesn't avoid it. So, with quick thinking, she decides to repel that attack by using her sword. She draws her sword and swings it to the left and right where the spear coming. However, she cannot repel all that attack. Half of the spear hit a little of Aoi's body and face, leaving a scratch.
Aoi landing with two of her legs and before she was ready again, another attack was coming toward her. Aoi grabs her sword strictly with both of her hands, ready to take an incoming attack from the trolls. However, their movement stopped after a strong voice shout toward them.
"Stopppp..." a big troll was shouting to her while getting out from his nest. That troll is 3 times bigger than other trolls. He has a scary face with a scar on his left eyes.

It looks like this is not a normal quest anymore. The normal quest is only driven away the trolls but with the involvement of the troll boss, the quest has changed to a hard one. Luckily, she is the one who is taken this quest. If another elf, they will be injured or maybe death doing these jobs.
"So, you are the boss here?" Ask Aoi.
"Yeah...and what is your problem making a mess here?" Reply him.
"I heard that you are strong. That why I have come here to challenge you for a duel."
"Hahahahaha" with an evil laugh." Do you think that you can defeat me? Stop dreaming, kid. You are 100 years too soon to defeat me.” Then he took the spear near him and
Whoosh!
Suddenly, he dashes toward Aoi and attacks her. However, his attack is perfectly blocked by Aoi. Then he lifted his right leg to kick Aoi. Aoi realizes it and quickly dodges by stepping back.
“Hrmmm… not bad. You are really fast” Praise troll boss toward Aoi.
“Do you think an easy attack like that can take me down?” Aoi lifts his sword ready to attack.
Then it was her turn to dashes toward the troll boss and attack him with her sword. She launched a relentless onslaught attack towards him from many directions. The troll's boss tried to block it, but because of Aoi's fast movement, not all the attacks can be blocked. Some of them are hitting his body and leaving a scratch on him. This made him feel annoying fighting with Aoi speed.
“Tchhh. Let’s stop now. I admit your strength. Your movement is very fast and your swordplay is very good. It hard for me to fight with you.” Praise him more to Aoi
“… but do you think I don't know your plan?” He to begin smile again with an evil expression. “You just act as a decoy so your brother can save that human right? Bring him to me" command the troll boss to his men.
Then another troll comes with a person whose hand was bind at the back with rope. Aoi recognized that person. That person is Sero.
"Serooo" Shout Aoi with a shocked expression. She doesn’t believe Sero had been capture. There’s no way the plan had been failure. The plan had been made very carefully.
"So, you know this person. This person is using transform magic and transforms into one of us. He is trying to sneak around and release that human. However, his luck is so bad. He gets caught by one of us."
"I'm sorry, Onee-chan." Said Sero with a lower voice.
"Release him" shout Aoi with an angry tone.
***
“Release him.” With an angry tone. “I said released him now.” even with higher voices.
“If you want me to release him then drop your weapon.” Said the troll boss while pointing at Aoi’s sword.
It looks like Aoi doesn’t have any choice. Her brother's life is more important right now. So, she slowly releasing the sword from her hand and drop it to the ground.
“Now, kick it here” Command the troll boss.
With Aoi's right leg she kicks her sword toward the troll boss. Then the troll boss gives a signal to his men to take Aoi's sword.
“Now releases him.” Said Aoi.
“HAHAHA… I promise I release him but I never said that it was dead or alive.” Said the troll boss with an evil smile that full of intrigue.

“Youuuu bastards(kisamaaa)….” while running and trying to punch the troll boss with her bare hand. However, before her attack was land, the two trolls were caught her from the behind and hold her tightly. Then the two trolls that hold her used a certain stone handcuff to cuff both of her hands. Aoi tries to resist, but it's no use. Aoi feels that all of her magic and strength was been drain by that stone.
“This is the drain stone. It will drain all your magic and strength until it's dry. So, it is useless for you to fight back. The more you struggle the faster your magic and stamina will be drain.” While walking toward Aoi. Then,
Pow!
he lands a punch to Aoi's stomach.
“Arghh…” Aoi scream.
Because of the troll boss punch, Aoi kneeled down with her face facing the ground. It not like the punch is strong but with the drain stone, her physical resistant is also being lowered.
“Onee-chan.” Shout Sero with a high voice. He was struggling to be released.
“I’m fine.” while try withstanding the pain in her stomach from the punch.
Then the troll that holds Aoi from the back forced her to get up again by pulling her hair. Sero that looking at the troll boss's action toward his sister with an angry expression. His eyes full with the burning of fire and anger. There no one ever does that to his sister before.
“So… not so strong now huh.” Said the troll boss while lifting Aoi's chin with his right hand to make Aoi face him. From his eyes, it was full of satisfaction because can make Aoi suffer like that.
“Where is the other one?” asks Aoi when she realizes that Sora is not with them.
The troll boss let go of his hand from Aoi's chin and said “You mean, the other little kids that sneak around with him?” Then the troll boss walking away from Aoi and continue his words “… He was dead. He died because he thinks he is smart enough to fight me back then.”
Aoi was shocked with her eyes wide open. She will not believe that Sora was killed. Even Sora is weak in combat and magic but he is the smartest in strategy. He always comes out with an idea to win the fight without using any force. He will not be easily killed.
“You lied! Sora will never be killed by some stupid creature like you.” Still do not believe it.
“Then, if you do not believe me, you can ask your little brother over there.” While giving a quick stare at Sero.
Aoi looked at Sero with a forced smile and said “This is not true right? Sora is not dead right?” She still refuses and thinks that Sora is alive. However, when she looked at Sero, he turned around his face and said “I’m sorry nee-chan.”
Aoi was silent.
Doom!
Out of the blue, all the ground around the troll base is shaking. The wind is formed around Aoi's body like a whirlwind. The trolls that hold Aoi were thrown by the wind. Then Aoi slowly gets up with tears in her eyes. Her hair and eyes slowly turned white. The stone that cuffs her hand slowly becomes cracked. The wound around her body begins to healing by itself. It looks like Aoi feels very angry, sad, and frustrated at the same time until all of her emotions become one and released an unknown power that capable destroyed the entire Elf Forest.
***
“What is happening here?” Shout the troll boss while stepping back his step. All the trolls that tried to attack Aoi are thrown away one by one by an unknown force. It looks like anyone cannot touch her.
“I don’t know boss. It looks like she has lost control. The drain stone that we used to cuff her hand does not function anymore.” Reply the nearest troll.
The stone handcuffs that cuff the Aoi hand were broken and fell to the ground. Now both of Aoi hand is free. She then opens her palms hand and her sword that was taken by the troll before was flying back straight to her hand. Then she swings her sword and
Boom!
half of the troll base is destroyed by unknown magic.
“You got to be kidding me. With just one swing she destroyed half of our base and troops.” Said the troll boss with a shocked expression when looking at the destruction that Aoi causes around his base. “We don’t have any choice, use that little boy as a hostage.” While pointing at Sero. However, Sero is not at the place where he was before. In the ground, it looks like a piece of rope that used to bind him before has been broken out. With panic, the troll boss gives a command to his men “Shit…. Find that boy. He will not leave this place alive.” Given the order to his subordinate.
“Looking for me.” With the light of the full moon that shining on the earth, Sero is standing at top of the roof from one of the troll houses looking so badass. “Now you cannot use any of your cheap tricks again. Sora has saved all of the hostages.” While pointing at the hostage that not far away from their place.
“What? But how?” Troll boss confused.
“While you busy fighting my sister, I have sneak around, kill all your guard and release the hostage.” Said sora comes out of nowhere and be standing beside Sero.
“You… I thought I have killed you. I watch your body Is dead stabbed by my sword.”
“Huh...Do you think I was that easily be killed? That body just an illusion creates by Sero magic to obscure your eyes only. Moreover, thanks to you over-focus on my sister and make my jobs slip around is been more easier.” Explain Sora with a provoking tone.
“Arghhh… the two of you has really made me angry now. Do you not know what will happen when you angry me? I will make sure to digs a grave for both of you here.” With a high voice that seen to lost control. It’s seemed like he is very angry. This is because all his plan to eat human has been thwarted by these two kids.
“Then let's enough talk and finish this.” Said Sero while the two of them jump toward the troll boss with their sword.
