Chapter 133 The Root-Like Things

Aurdis swallowed her saliva. She didn't know what was going on but the strange glow seemed to be a sign of something bad.

Soon, Aurdis saw that the bodies of the three Trolls had also changed.

Something that looked like roots started creeping up from within their burnt skin and flesh.

The root seemed to give off a strange red glow as well.

Aurdis's brow furrowed. 'What is that?'

What happened next was quite scary. The red root-like tissue wrapped around the flesh and skin burned by her fireball.

"GRRRRHHHH..."

The terrible growl sounded again. Aurdis seemed to feel a sinister aura behind the growl.

Something that indicated that she had to prepare for anything to come.

"GRAAAAHHH!"

And the bad thing happened. The three Trolls ran towards Aurdis while raising their respective weapons.

They wield axes, clubs, and spears. Everything seems to be made of stone that is cut and honed until it becomes sharp.

Even though those weapons looked bad. But Aurdis is sure that the effects they cause when they hit her body will be fatal.

Because those ugly weapons were swung with a force of three meters high body behind it.

Aurdis shakes her hands again. Then the yellowish-orange glow on the two rings grew brighter.

Without waiting long, Aurdis swung her arms and sent fireballs again toward the three Trolls that charged toward her.

But what happened next made Aurdis stunned. The three Trolls swung their stone weapons very quickly and hit the fireballs.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

Aurdis' fireballs exploded against the stone weapons before reaching the Trolls wielding them.

It was very surprising because before, their movements were very slow.

How could the Trolls now raise those huge stone weapons fast enough to repel the fireballs?

'Something strange happened to them as soon as those red things appeared.'

Aurdis did not know what the strange object that appeared on their bodies was. But there's a high chance that the thing that affects their body movements.

Aurdis ordered Star to run away for now. With her here, she thought Star would only be in danger.

Star didn't take long to stomp his feet and run away.

Meanwhile, Aurdis faced the three Trolls.

Despite facing the three Trolls who were already behaving strangely and supported by equally strange powers, Aurdis wasn't too worried.

She knew her Magic ability was still far superior to those three ugly creatures.

However, she also knows that she can't be reckless.

That strange root-like thing was something alien. Something she didn't know it was capable of.

So it is a disadvantage for her.

Aurdis soared into the air. Her entire body was covered in a thin silver glow.

Then she stretched out her arms towards the three Trolls.

*SWISH!*

But before Aurdis knew it, a red root had been hurtling toward her.

The root popped out from one of the Troll's mouths and snatch her at an incredible speed.

*CTAK!*

The strange red root caught Aurdis' leg. Aurdis didn't have time to react due to its speed, so she pulled down again and fell on the rocky ground.

*BOOM!*

A thud was heard as Aurdis' body hit the ground. Thanks to her clothes she didn't feel any pain.

Only now there was a strange red root that entangled her leg.

Aurdis immediately snapped her fingers and flames shot out to scorch the red root.

But there was no effect whatsoever on the root.

'What?!'

Aurdis' face showed a clear sense of shock. The roots became tighter and tighter around her feet.

Meanwhile, the three Trolls also continued to approach her.

'I guess now I should raise the level of the Magic I cast.'

Seeing no other choice, Aurdis immediately raised her Magic power.

This was something she hadn't anticipated before.

It turns out that there are times when she has to face enemies on this journey which makes her have to unleash a greater Magic power.

Aurdis spread one hand towards the Trolls. Then an invisible force shot and hit them.

*WOOOSHHH!*

*BAGGHH!*

The three Trolls were flung backward and tumbling on the ground.

Disturbing thumps and cracks rang out as Aurdis' force and impact momentum came together to break their bones.

A moment later a silver disc appeared in Aurdis' hand.

The disk of light was spinning very fast. Aurdis threw the silver disk at the red roots that were entangling her feet.

*CRRRRR...*

After a while, Aurdis' silver disk finally managed to cut the red root.

*CRAAT!*

Aurdis stood up. She kicked the piece of root that was still wrapped around the leg until it came off. Then walked toward the three Trolls.

The three Trolls stood up again. Even though the damage done to their bodies was now much worse, and it shouldn't be possible for them to stand up, they still acted as if nothing had happened.

The Trolls walked towards Aurdis with a limp, broken leg.

Their bones protrude from the legs, arms, and ribs. But once again the red roots came out and wrapped their wounds.

'Now there is no choice but to kill them.'

Finally, Aurdis made a conclusion. It was obvious because it seemed like the Trolls had been taken over by that red root-like thing.

She spread her arms out while walking towards them.

She cast a spell on Quenya. Four yellowish-orange Magic circles appeared around the three Trolls.

They didn't even seem to notice and kept walking. But they couldn't get past the Magic circle and just hit it.

Make them feel like they are in a cage.

Aurdis pressed her palms together. A moment later, a burst of fire appeared from the four Magic circles simultaneously.

*ZWOOOSSSHHH!*

The flames that appeared enveloped the three Trolls, leaving no room for them to do anything.

Not even a scream was heard. The red root appeared from behind the fire and continued to wriggle. As if it was a living being who felt the pain from the fire.

Aurdis stared at the scene in front of her.

There was only a crackling sound that came from their bones being burned or maybe from the red roots that starting to crumble.
