Chapter 75: Kim Ji-Hee Makes Her Entrance (1)
Kim Ki-Rok preferred dealing with weaker monsters living in packs over fighting a single powerful one. He had trained in a wide range of combat methods, allowing him to adapt according to changing situations or different enemies.
"I really hate fights like this." Kim Ki-Rok groaned.
Even though he had managed to destroy half of the troll's heart by using up his last reserves of mana, the troll was already regenerating from its wounds.
Taking a deep breath, Kim Ki-Rok kicked off the ground, leaping backward to avoid the looming shadow overhead.
Booom!
He evaded the blow with ease, yet never stopped observing the opponent. Sliding a dagger out of his sleeve, Kim Ki-Rok hurled it in a smooth arc.It struck squarely into the small wound on the monster's instep.
In terms of raw damage, it was negligible. However, the blade featured a peculiar groove carved into the side of the dagger's blade that was filled with a deadly poison. Even if the poison's effect was minor, it was still better than nothing.
"Diiieee!" From above, Yoo Seh-Eun dropped in, controlling five blades made of mana as she thrust her sword forward.When it came to these trolls, thrusts had proven to be more effective than slashes.
Putting her full body weight into the thrust, Yoo Seh-Eun drove her sword into the troll's chest, then hung onto the embedded blade. She slammed her legs into the troll's torso, using the impact to propel herself away.
While breaking off, she summoned two additional mana blades in midair and hurled them at the troll. Rather than focusing on how to land safely, she was determined to keep up the offensive no matter what.
"Grrrraaagh!"
After she fell and rolled across the ground a few times, Yoo Seh-Eun quickly sprang to her feet, still glaring daggers at the troll. Her strike had aimed for its heart. Seeing the mana blade still lodged in the troll's left chest, she checked the troll's expression and briefly allowed herself a triumphant grin.
