Chapter 74: Wooden World(10)
The trolls, each in a disgusting rag that covered their genital regions, most of which were male, were staring at him and assumed horribly aggressive positions that more so reminded him of the way some taller, sentient species that he had previously heard of, such as orcs or sentient trolls, a rare subspecies of this one, hid in plain sight to hunt down smaller prey.
It was as if the trolls wanted the two of them, as if they didn't even taken them serious, and in Cades opinion that would most likely be their downfall seeing as Cades was still much more powerful than before, back when he was still just a mere lord rank..
Cades utilization was now much greater, seeing as that he was now capable of attacking with much less of a light-show, so, in regards to his current strength he was more of a demi, than a peak of the lord rank, a demi of whatever rank he was at before.
But that didn't matter, just as he thought about all of it he caught something from the corner of his eyes, something that distracted him from the trolls that were inventively staring at him, trying to assess how to defeat him.
There, in the edge of his eyes there was a thin bipedal creature that resembled the archer, or perhaps it was the archer, a creature that was flying far, far above the air, so fat that Cades felt a kind of envy, and his non-existent wings began to hurt once more, his heat truly ached, and soon thereafter his stomach began hurting after one of the trolls attacked him with his pole and knocked him away a feet feet, creating distance while thinking that Cades wouldn't be able to defeat him either way.
That did however also have the beneficial effect of ripping Cades out of his trance and start to look at the attacking troll, a especially big one with only one tusk, full of scratches showing that this one had probably crawled out from the ground just like many others had.
However, now this troll had begun to move in a way that resembled a laughter while pointing at Cades, holding the pole with a single hand but not exuding any kind of sound, perhaps showing that this thing in the end, was not exactly as it had been in life but more of a kind of emulation.
