Chapter 7: Level UP!
I made my way to the monster forest located north of Braveheart Kingdom. When I arrived, I encountered a group of Trolls. These creatures were humanoid, but far larger, muscular, with ugly faces, tusks, and wielded stone swords. They're carnivorous too, meaning they'd kill humans without hesitation.
"Damn, I thought I'd run into goblins or slimes like in typical isekai stories. But Trolls are a whole other level!" I muttered, but I had to face them regardless.
This was the path to becoming stronger.I charged toward the three Trolls in front of me. With my speed, they couldn't even react to my attack. I unleashed
Two Trolls were instantly cut down by my sharp slash. They let out loud roars, gushing blood, and died. I noticed that when monsters die, their bodies disappear into particles of light, just like in games, and I got drop items. Envi immediately stored the drop items in my inventory.
The remaining Troll tried to strike back, but I skillfully blocked its stone sword.
"Ugh...!" The attack was heavy.
I barely managed to deflect it. But its follow-up move was slow. I dashed forward, sliding under its legs, then leaped and used Kazekiri!!!
The Troll's body was cleaved in half. But suddenly, another Troll charged at me, swinging its stone sword.
"Uoogh!!" I was sent flying into a tree from the impact.
Even though I defended, I still took damage. I coughed up blood. My HP was down to 1500.
