Chapter 15 - Clash Of Armies


Troll Underground Base.

A young Troll girl with long black hair and smooth skin was packing some things into her Item Box.

"Thanks to the Emperor and our beloved Master, the entire novice Trolls have been able to evolve in only 4 days of intensive training. The Emperors and Masters blessings are indeed amazing…"

The Troll girl started to store loads of dried meat, different kinds of potions and weapons, including swords, lances and axes.

"This should be it…"

Knock Knock

"Ah…! Y-you can come in"

Opening the rock door was a serious looking big and muscular Troll Warrior King, holding a massive shield and a longsword.

"Celica, are you prepared? We will be heading out in around 2 hours, make sure to fill your Item Box with everything you need"

"I know, Truhan…"

The big Troll noticed the young Troll girl worried expression.

"Hm? Is something troubling you, Celica?"

"I… It's nothing…"

"Celica, do not be afraid, you are not alone in this, the Emperor and Master got our backs, we are a massive military force of over 200 Trolls, no matter how many Wyverns that Demon has recruited, it won't change his destiny, he's dying today"

"Hahaha… You are so simple-minded Truhan… Okay then, I hope you can protect my back with that big shield of yours"

After seeing the bright smile of the young Troll Girl, the big Troll Warrior blushed in embarrassment, making his stoic face look weird.

"Hmm! Leave it to me! And if… If everything goes well… Celica…"

The Troll Warrior came close to the young Troll Girl and grabbed her shoulders with his big hands.

"T-Truhan…?"

As the Troll Warrior tried to formulate his words, his face became even redder, as if he was boiling.

"Celica… You are the most beautiful Troll… I… I…"

"Truhan… I know what you are trying to tell me, do not worry. Please save those words when we finally win this battle, it will be the best time"

"C-Celica… I… Yes! You are right…!"

"Hmm!"

The Young Troll girl give the Troll Warrior a bright and blushed smile.

"V-very well then… See ya in the front lines"

"Sure, my shield!"

"Hahaha… D-don't call me that… Ahem!"

.

.

.

Meanwhile in the Troll Emperor throne.

"My guards, how are the preparations going?"

"Reporting in Emperor, things are almost ready, we have made sure that every soldier who possess an Item Box has filled it with useful food, weapon, potions and armor!"

"Well done, at this rate our Goblin and Undead brothers won't need to worry about us, when they finally come here they will already find the Demon killed and the Forest conquered!"

"Yes, my Emperor!"

Suddenly, a slim and beautiful blue colored Troll girl with long and silver hair and a black colored dress and mage cap, came close to the Emperor, she was hiding behind the throne.

"My Emperor, Witch Team leader reporting in, we have found that the Demon is still sleeping, she just left some guards outside, they seem rather weak"

"Is this true, Zehe? To think that this Demon has not even prepared himself for war… We might have overestimated it"

"Indeed, Emperor. But something strange was reported yesterday, the Demon seemed to wonder around the entire forest killing monsters and slaving some, we think that he has enslaved more than 40 monsters"

"Slaves…? What is he even planning?"

"We cannot really think of anything concessive, it seemed to be just entertainment for him"

"Hmmp, such a wicked being, enslaving for fun… It is indeed a Demon"

"Alright Zehe, you can leave, I will see you in the backline in two hours from now"

"Yes, my Emperor, I shall take my leave"

FLASH

The Troll Witch used a strange spell and disappeared out of sight.

"The Demon who defeated 8 Emperors… Is it really, that strong? To even not worry about us in the slightest? Such foolishness will be his demise"

The Troll Emperor smiled, and an intense killing aura started to exude from his massive body.

"Even the strong can be crushed when cornered by the weak"

"T-this one is insane! W-what is this? It almost feels like cheating if it wasn't for the big weakness to the sun and three elements, but I wonder… Can I negate that with my other resistance skills, elemental shield or flame body…? If it is like this… It would be the best so far…"

"This is the last one… It's also reminds me of Element butterfly a lot, but this time it's made of shadows instead, the possibilities of expanding your body and store shadows seems almost limitless… but such glaring weakness is not so good, it seems a little bit worse than the Vamp Butterfly…"

"If my theory about my other skills negating the [Undead Status] weaknesses then Vamp Butterfly seems like my best choice. All right, let's bet on this one…! I choose [High Dark Moon Vampire Butterfly]!"

[Day 20]

"Ma...… K....!!"

"Pl... ke…. Up!"

"Master!"

"Please wake up!"

When I woke up, I found Wagyu yelling at me desperately.

"Ah! Wagyu! What's going?!"

"Master Kireina! You finally woke up, that's a relief, there is still some time!"

"Some time for what? Explain yourself!"

"The Trolls! They are coming, we can see a massive army coming from the South!"

"What?! So they finally decided to attack, how are the battle preparations?"

"All the Squad leaders are in place, we have hidden the weaker members and the Slaves in an underground base, the Wyverns are getting ready"

"Very well, let's go"

"I am sorry for waking up you so early Master, also, congratulations for your evolution!"

"Hahaha! Don't worry about that, this is the perfect timing to try out my new power"

While I flew to the outside, I quickly checked my Status Window.

[Congratulations, you have successfully Evolved into an High Dark Moon Vampire Butterfly]

[Your level has been reset to 1/40]

"Ah shit right! Wait Wagyu!"

"Master? What's the matter?"

"I now possess the Undead Status and also the Vampire Weaknesses, so I can't go outside in day…"

"…Eh?"

"What?! Master! You shouldn't had chosen that evolution path!"

"B-but it was pretty good! Wait up! I am going to experiment with something"

Before facing the strong light of the sun directly I activated my [Dark Moon Elemental Illusion Shield] and infused it with Water magic that could reflect the light of the sun.

"Here I go!"

FLASH!

[Vampire Weaknesses Skill is in effect, you will take severe damage every second you are exposed to sunlight]

[Due to your Dark Moon Elemental Illusion Shield, Sunlight weakness is negated successfully]

"Ah! It worked!"

[Certain conditions have been accomplished]

[You've obtained a new title: First Vampire to walk in Sunlight]

"What?! I am the first one?! No way…"

"I see, you can negate the weakness with your magic shield, very clever Master, I should had expected this coming from you, excuse my rudeness before"

"No problem Wagyu, I wasn't 100% sure that this would work, I was betting on it, hahaha!"

"Ah… Master… Reckless as always..."

When the others noticed that I woke up, they all started to report their duties.

"Kekensha reporting in, Master Kireina, the Troll army is massive, amounting to at least 200 heavily armed soldiers, all of King Class"

"Kizuato reporting in, Master Kireina! Our army is ready, but we are heavily outnumbered by the Trolls, because of this, we have designed a plan to utilize the Rocky Mountains environment to your advantage, here"

Kizuato sent me a very detailed drawing of his plan; it included a strong army defending the cave entrance while a fast army composed of wolves led by Wagyu would lure the Troll's army to a tight road in between two mountains. Therefore, three teams led by Meiji, Tsuchimizu and Rimuru will be on standby in these mountains and when the signal is given, a massive long ranged attack will be thrown over the Troll army. To hold them off, Kizuato had formed a special team with the sturdiest soldiers, including Kekensha, Yukan'na and himself.

"This is an amazing plan Kizuato, you are indeed very experienced in battle, while you guys hold them off I will go behead the Emperor, afterwards, I will assist in killing the surviving Trolls"

"It is done as you command, Master!"

"If it's possible, I can summon some lower demonic beings to work as cannon fodder"

"Oh! That would make the lure plan way easier then, and we could even separate the army in different groups luring them with Lower Demonic Beings"

"Good plan, we'll go with that then, let's start right away!"

With the little time we had I managed to summon 153 Demonic Beings, this time without any special variant, after deactivating [MP Share] we all quickly recovered our MP with Potions.

.

.

.

One hour ago, outside the Troll's Underground Base.

A big and muscular troll holding a massive shield and a longsword commanded his troops to marching positions, while the Troll Emperor commanded some Warrior Trolls and two Mages to guard the Underground Base.

"Very well, everything should be ready now, WE MARCH!"

"AAAH!"

"AAAH!"

"AAAH!"

The enormous Troll army yelled in affirmation, increasing they own morale, except for a Troll Girl who had a worried expression.

"I… hope that everything goes well…"

SLAP!

"Gyaaaahh!"

A big hand slapped the girl back shocking her out of her negative thoughts.

When she turned over, she found a big and beautiful Troll woman, with bulging muscles and reddish skin, long black hair and beautiful golden eyes.

"B-big sister Shahri…!"

"Yo Celica! What's with the long face? Afraid of the war? Hahahaha!"

"P-please don't laugh at me, I am no coward…! I… just have this weird feeling"

"Hmmm, that just sound like a chicken to me!"

The big Troll woman started to pat the little Troll girl with her big hands.

"P-please stop…!"

"Hahaha! You are so adorable, Celica. Don't worry! We are all your brothers here, we got your back! Now concentrate on your troops, Master gave you a name because he knew that you were worthy! Do you want to destroy his expectations?"

"I… I would never…!"

"All right then! Woman up, Girl! See ya in the battlefield!"

"Okay… See ya! Please take care of yourself…!"

"Sigh…"

The Troll girl put on her helmet and started to command her troops to march.

.

.

.

Outside Kireina's Cave, in the middle of the Rocky mountains road.

"There they are! The Trolls! Senior Wagyu, we await your command!"

"Very well, we will do as the plan goes, let's go distract while we release the Lower Dark Beings around their frontlines, after they catch their attention, they should separate. But even so, if this plan does not work, we will hold them off until reinforcements arrive, do you all understand?"

"YEEES!"

FLASH!

Out of nowhere a big army made of Crimson and Ice Wolves appeared in front of the Troll Army!

"They are here! Front Lines! ATTACK!"

"YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Countless enormous and armored Trolls clashed with the Wolf army in a deafening noise!

CLASH!

A strong Ice Wolf jumped over the biggest Troll and bite right on its neck! Freezing it instantly!

"Guuuuaaaaaahhhhh!"

"Damned Wolves! They are too fast and we came too armored! Call Celica! Send the light troops! Quick!"

CLASH!

"Guuaaahhh! Damned Wolf, take this!"

CLAASH!

SPLAT!

"Awoooooooo!"

A strong Troll used his bulging muscles to carry a gigantic hammer that completely smashed a Crimson Wolf into pieces! Bloody meat and bones spurred out and covered the entire Troll armor and weapon.

"Ttsk! We lost one so soon?"

"Awooooooo! Brother! Noooo!"

A raging Crimson Wolf activated its Berserk Mode and jumped on the back of the Hammer wielding Troll, biting its neck intensively!

"RAAWR! GRAAAH!"

"GUUUAAAAHHH!"

BOOM!

Due to the severe blood lost the Troll fell down to the ground, dying on the spot!

Wagyu noticed its soldier behavior and calmed it down.

"Little brother, do no lose your patience yet! We must go according to the plan! Endure!"

"Senior Wagyu…! But my brother! I… Okay! I understand!"

Wagyu nodded and went to the front lines to defend the weaker Wolves that were giving their lives on the bloody battlefield.

Suddenly, Wagyu glowed with a crimson red and it went right to the strongest Troll group.

"RAAAAAAAAAAH!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

In mere seconds, three heads rolled on the ground!

"T-this wolf! Who is it?!"

"Its an Emperor class! No way!"

"FIGHT!"

"RAAAAAAAAAHH!"

More than 10 Trolls surrounded Wagyu and used different buffs to increase their size and power!

"TAKE THIS!"

A green colored Troll slashed Wagyu with his massive axe!

SLASH!

"TSSK! But not enough! OOORAAAH!"

SLASH!

The axe wielding Troll couldn't even evade and his head was easily sliced!

"What?! What kind of skill is that?!"

"Do not worry brothers, we got numbers over him!"

"ATTACK!"

Wagyu saw how eight Trolls went for a killing blow on his back and he quickly used this opportunity to cast [Midnight Demonic Wolf Emperor Overpowering Pressure], sending them away with a strong shock wave!

FLUOSH!

"Guuaaaaaahh!"

"Such pressu-"

SLASH!

Suddenly, a shadow claw sliced the Troll head!

"BROTHER!!!"

"DAMNED WOLF! DIE!"

Wagyu remained his composure and waited for the exact moment to strike!

"(Activate skill: Dark Arts: Midnight Demonic Zone!)"

FLUOSH!

All the trolls around 50 meters of distance were suddenly engulfed on a strange dark zone!

"Where are we?!"

"This must be a Zone type Spell!"

"Where is the enemy?! I ca-"

SLASH!

Suddenly more than 30 Trolls realized that one of their brothers disappeared out of thin air!

"Eeeh?! Whats going on!?"

"Impossi-"

FLASH!

"BROTHER!"

FLASH!

"We can't do anything!"

"(Activate skill: Shadow manipulation!)"

FLASH!

Suddenly a strong force dragged one of the Trolls down to the ground and a myriad of tentacles made of shadows asphyxiated him on the spot!

"(5 down… 25 left… I hope Yuki can handle the rest…)"

Outside the Shadow Zone, countless Trolls were amazed in horror at the sight of their brothers being killed one by one inside the strange magic barrier.

"Brothers! Watch out!"

"T-this can't be how are we loosing so easily?!"

"FIGHT!"

"Where's Celica?"

"She's coming! We must endure!"

"Gyyyaaahh!"

CRUNCH!

Out of nowhere a big Ice Wolf jumped over an Axe Wielding Troll Woman Warrior and crushed her neck with a strong ice bite!

"SISTER!"

"NOOO! SISTER SHAHRI!"

"GRRAAHH! You… damned wolf, let off of my neck! Activate skill: Flaming Axe slash!"

FLUOSH!

"Ah! T-this is bad!"

BOOM!

The Ice Wolf let off the Troll Woman neck and retreated some meters away, looking at the beautiful red-skinned Troll Woman with hateful eyes!

"You are fast! No one has ever evaded my Flaming Axe Slash before! Your fur will become some nice new clothes!"

"Gggrrrrr! Raawr! (Activate skill: Icicle Rush!)"

FLASH!

"So fast!"

BOOM!

CLASH!

The Troll Woman didn't give in easily and intercepted Yuki with a strong Flaming Blow!

"Awoooo!"

"Gotcha! FLAMING AXE THRUST!"

However, before the Troll Woman could strike, multiple ice and thunder magic shots started to rain from the sky, severely injuring her naked and muscular arms, cutting big chunks of roasted and frozen meat off her arms.

"Gaaaahh! What is this?! Magic?! How?! Flame Heal!"

The Troll Woman casted a big orange flame that covered her arms and quickly healed the injuries.

"Not so fast! GROOAWR!"

FLASH!

CLASH!

Yuki rushed over the Troll Woman as if she were a sharp ice lance! Encrusting her horn right on her belly!

"Gyyaaaaahhhh! Y-you! Eh?"

BBBBZZZRR!

Suddenly, the Troll Woman felt her belly very cold, until she noticed that half her body was completely frozen!

"N-no! Heali-"

CLASH!

Yuki striked a second time with a strong blow, destroying the frozen half of the Troll Woman!

"GUUAAAHH! N-noo!"

The other Trolls were too busy to help!

"SISTER SHAHRI!"

"Nooo!"

Yuki did not wast a second and finished the Troll Woman with a strong Ice Spear on her head, busting off her brains out!

SPLAT!

"Haahh… You were a good fight…"

FLASH!

"You fucking Wolf! THIS IS FOR SISTER SHAHRI!!!!"

A strong Troll Warrior went for a sneak attack on Yuki's back, but she easily noticed him and evaded in time!

"Take this! ICICLE SPEAR!"

Yuki didn't wasted any moment and used her quick reflexes to clash on the Troll back!

CLASH!

"GYYYYAHHHH!"

The Troll lower half was completely frozen and then shattered to pieces!

"Haahhh… Who's next?!"

"Sister Yuki please help!"

"Ah!"

Yuki glanced at the crying Crimson Wolf who was being lynched by three Trolls!

"You fuckers are going to pay for what you did to Sister! DIEEE!"

CLASH!

Yuki quickly intercepted the attack with a strong Ice Rush! Freezing his back and then shattering with a strong blow!

BOOM!

"GUUAAHK!"

"S-sister Yuki!"

"Maintain your calm, rookie, and stay by my side!"

"Y-yes!"

From their sides, Two Troll Warrios wielding Axes tried to go for a group attack!

"TSK! Rookie, make sure to follow my moves!"

"Yes!"

FLASH! FLASH!

As if they were ice and flames dancing in the battlefield, Yuki ad the Rookie Crimson Wolf danced around the Trolls and slashed them from behind!

CLASH!

BOOM!

"GYYYAAAAHH!"

"Noooo! I don't want to die!"

Clash! Boom!

The two wolves swiftly finished the crying Trolls with an Icicle Spear and a big Fireball!

The Trolls watching the scene were amazed for such teamwork!

"Those demons! They complement each other! We are done for!"

"Not so bad Rookie…!"

"It's an honor to be praised by Sister Yuki!"

FLUOSH!

Sudenly, the Mana Zone created by Wagyu finally was deactivated and a pile of Troll Corpses appeared in the battlefield!

"Yuki!"

"Wagyu!"

"Yuki, have they given the signal yet?"

"Not yet, we must endure for now!"

"How many causalities?!"

"Around 4! We are fine for now! Let's assist the Rookies!"

"Yes!"

"Follow me Rookie!"

"Yes, sister Yuki!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Three shadows danced around the battlefield striking down multiple Trolls at the same time!

"Guuaahh!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Three Troll heads rolled in one slice!

"These Wolves are too much, they have amazing coordination!"

"Where's Celica and her troops?!"

"Still not here yet!"

"Endure! Endure!"

"RAAAAAHHHH!"

As Wagyu and Yuki commanded, more Wolves to follow them the coordinated attacks became more and more potent!

"We must work together too!"

"Yes! Let's strike these fucking Wolves together!"

"RAAAAHH!"

More than 10 Trolls came running together activating their weapon skills!

"It's useless! [Mana Share]!"

"Rookies, stay aside!"

Wagyu and Yuki worked together and casted a tiny Mana Zone!

FLUOSH!

"Now!"

"FLAME SALAMANDER SPELL COMMAND! Flaming Ice Meteorites!"

From the tiny Mana Zone, Meteorites of the size of a car started to rain over the Troll army!

"No way! They can use spell commands?!"

"Is that Mana Zone?!"

"Impossible!"

"GUAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Countless Flaming Meteorites fell down onto the battlefield, crashing the Trolls into meat and bones paste!

"This should keep them in check for now!"

Suddenly, a big and colorful magic explosion appeared in the sky!

Boom!

"Ah! That's the signal! RETREAT!"

"Rookies, retreat!"

The big Wolf Group quickly retreated while the Trolls were evading the meteorites.

"THEY ARE RUNNING AWAY! FOLLOW THEM!"

"You will not run away now!"

"Not after killing our Sister!"

"We will make all your wolves into clothes and armor!"

"RAAAAAHHHH!"

Countless furious Trolls came rushing after the Wolves!

Meanwhile, in the Rocky Mountains around the tight road.

"Senior Meiji, the signal has been sent successfully, we can see that the Wolves are retreating swiftly, with very low causalities"

"Very well, let's cast our active buffs for now and prepare your mana circles, we will strike at my signal!"

"Yes!"

Multiple mage monkeys started to cast magic related buffs and preparing their magic circles.

Meanwhile in the other mountain, Rimuru commanded the Slime Squad to do the same.

"Brothers! Get ready! Guuu!"

"Yes! I will not disappoint Master!"

"Hmmm!"

"Mana circle!"

"[Mana Share]!"

The Slime family quickly connected their MP and slowly created a Mana Zone to condense and craft combination spells.

In the south Mountain, Tsuchimizu was getting ready by casting a tiny Mana Zone inside the Mountain itself.

"I will use this mountain as my weapon! I need to concentrate… Imagine that every rock in this mountain takes the shape of different weapons! Just like Master told you! Think!"

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, big chunks of stone started to separate from the mountain and rotated around it, slowly taking weapon shapes like Lances, Swords and Axes!

"Now, reinforce!"

FLUOSH!

The countless weapon shaped projectiles were reinforced by a strong magic made by the monkeys and wolves assisting Tsuchimizu, increasing their size and sharpness!

"It's ready!"

Meanwhile, in the tight road, the Wolf group was approaching the planned meeting spot with Kekensha.

"Haah! We are almost there! Hang on for a little longer!"

"Yes!"

Suddenly, at the distance, Wagyu was able to see a group of strong and big armed monkeys with a dazzling golden Wolf.

"Kekensha!"

Kekensha quickly noticed the approaching Wolf group and came to assist.

"I am glad you are all back, come here, you have done well, now leave the rest to us!"

"Thanks, Kekensha…"

The "Defense" team led by Kekensha consisted of Kizuato, Yukan'na, Kurimuzonhōn and several warrior class monkeys.

Goruden, Jinsoku and the Wyverns were inspecting in the Peak of the Mountain, guarding the main Cave and awaiting the perfect time to take down multiple Trolls at once.

The tiny Eshne had a worried expression and asked Goruden:

"Fellow Goruden, how much more will it take for the Wolf Team to get back?"

"Hmm, in fact, they are already back!"

"Ah!"

"Do we strike now?"

Jinsoku interrupted the Wyverns.

"No need to rush things, you guys are our trump cards after all, wait for Kekensha's signal"

Abellona quickly calmed down Eshne and nodded.

"Very well, we shall patiently await"

.

.

.

Meanwhile, in the Troll's backline, the Troll Emperor sat on a movable throne.

"Tsk! What's going on? How could such a tiny group of Wolves be such an eyesore?!"

A guard tried to calm down the Emperor.

"Emperor, please calm down… We still hold a massive advantage over the Demon's army, even if they are stronger individually, we will tire them out and then crush them!"

"Hmmm, you are right"

FLASH!

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared over the Troll Emperor, blocking the sun completely!

"Eh? Ah!! It's you!"

A big butterfly with blood colored wings and a strong death aura floated over the Emperor, holding a big Mana Zone over its head.

"So you are the Emperor! I came to behead you and be done with this!"

"Demon! I have already predicted your beheading the king tactic! You will not succeed!"

Suddenly, countless shadows surrounded Kireina!

"Eh? W-what is this?!"

The shadows took form and became a beautiful and slim Troll woman, wearing a black leotard and a witch's hat.

"So you are… Kireina, right? Fufufu… I hope you are a little bit interesting…"

"Who are you?!"

The Emperor laughed at Kireina surprise.

"Buwahahahaha! She is Zehe! The strongest Troll Witch, she is also an Empress!"

"WHAT?!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, another shadow appeared behind Kireina, this time it was a fully armored Troll Warrior!

"A Troll Warrior floating?!"

"Buwahaha! This is my strongest Warrior Champion! Vobak!"

The heavy armored Troll Warrior pointed his great sword at Kireina with a menacing look.

"In name of the Emperor and our benevolent Master, I shall slay you today, Demon!"

"This... is rather unexpected"
