The Extra's Harem In Dead End Game

Chapter 46: The Forgotten Dungeon [6]

"If you don't do it right, your friend dies."

"Don't curse her."

"That's why I'm telling you to do it properly."

"Of course."

"Good. Don't overlap. I'll take the left, you take the right."

"Alright. Who will finish it?"

"Who cares? Let's play it by ear."

Kamian nodded as if he understood. At that moment, the troll was almost upon us.

"KRUOOO!"

A giant club, as if a thick tree had been carved out. The club tore through the air and fell.

"Oops."

As if I had been waiting, I flew to the left to avoid it. The wind created by the club sent chills down my spine. Just grazing it would have been fatal.

KWANG!

The ground shattered where the club hit, and stones and dirt flew in all directions. Through the dusty view, I could see the troll's towering legs.

"Then let's see if I can scratch it."

I executed the Imperial Style Number eight in succession, slashing at the troll's legs.

SWISH SWISH!!

Each time the blade moved, flesh tore and blue blood splattered.

"HAAP!"

Soon, Kamian was also hacking at the troll with all his might from the right.

SPLAT! THUMP!

Blood and flesh flew in all directions. Even for such a large creature, these were more than mere scratches. Chunks of flesh fell off, leaving tattered wounds visible.

"KRAAAA!"

The troll screamed in pain. But the shredded wounds on the troll began to regenerate too quickly. The rising blood stopped, and new flesh sprouted in real-time.

To that extent.

"Tch."

Kamian frowned and hacked at the troll's leg even faster. I matched his rhythm, hacking at the opposite leg.

"Fire Arrow!"

In addition, the magic Annette cast flew in and scorched the troll's chest black. It was a naturally flowing combined attack by the three of us.

However, the troll's monstrous regenerative ability mocked our attacks, quickly healing the wounds. We were the ones who ended up exhausted.

"Huff huff...."

Kamian's breath grew rough as he attacked without a moment's rest.

"Ah, this is tough."

I also stopped my swordplay and caught my breath.

"Kraaaaah!"

As soon as the attack stopped, the initiative passed to the troll's turn. Perhaps our attack had irritated it, as it began to rampage even more wildly.

"Kyaaak! Please, hit it from the front! I, I can't do close combat!"

Annette screamed and busily ran around trying to escape.

"Huff huff."

Kamian, still breathing heavily, couldn't regain his composure. I had some physical leeway due to the vitality injection, but those two seemed like they wouldn't last long.

Vroooom!

I dodged the threatening troll's attack and spoke to Kamian.

"Do you see now? The same attack as before is ineffective."

If we could use advanced techniques like sword energy, we might be able to completely sever an arm or leg, but at our current level, that was out of the question.

"Shouldn't you have told me that earlier?"

Kamian spat out his complaint.

Typical of a rookie to have so many unnecessary complaints.

If I had raised the two protagonists, they would be able to steamroll through such a low-level dungeon on their own.

"Normally, you learn that kind of thing with your body, you know. And I did tell you the weakness."

"Kuk, so how do you expect me to strike that weakness?"

Kamian's expression was grim, as if he found the situation hopeless.

"Do you trust me?"

I asked with a smirk.

No immediate answer came. It seemed instinctively repulsive for him to trust a person he had treated as trash until recently.

But eventually, he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Trust or not, you and I are relying on each other on the battlefield right now."

Oh, so the protagonist knows how to dodge well? I chuckled and said,

"Is that so? Then hang in there for now."

"What do you mean?"

"Just hang in there."

Of course, I hadn't rushed into the place with the boss monster without any thought.

I had already thought of a way to change the tide of battle. I jumped back and pulled out the Marcus Bow instead.

It was a named weapon that could cast a weakening curse.

The troll, which resisted physical attacks from swords and magic with tremendous regenerative power.

But curses were different. The regenerative power was useless against curses.

Creak!

Pop.

I shot an arrow carelessly at any spot. The target was wide, so there was no need to aim.

Thud!

An arrow lodged in the shoulder area. Of course, there was no physical impact in itself. However, the curse of weakening would surely erode the troll's body.

I dodged the troll's attacks while waiting for the right moment. How much time had passed?

The troll's movements began to slow down. The power of the foolish club had also weakened compared to the beginning.

"KRUOOO?"

The troll itself felt something was wrong and looked puzzled. But even knowing that, there was nothing it could do.

"Kamian, now's the time!"

I shouted to Kamian as if to say, cut its throat right now.

However.

"Huff, huff....."

Kamian was completely spent. My gaze turned to Annette.

"It's impossible... Absolutely impossible..."

Hey, hey, just look. I didn't expect anything from you.

"No choice then."

It seemed I had to play the role of the senior to the end.

"Hey, support me!"

I said to Kamian.

No choice.

He was still a rookie lacking in jumping power. I gathered all my remaining strength and leaped toward Kamian.

Kamian quickly caught on to what I was doing and bent his back.

"Taah!"

I stepped hard on Kamian's back and leaped up once more. Only then did I reach the troll's head.

"Krooooo!"

But of course, the troll didn't just stand there. Instead of attacking, it tried to protect its head with both hands.

Would it work? No, it was a close call as it was. In a split second. I revised my judgment.

"Eat this, you bastard!"

I threw my sword with all my might. That was the decision I made.

Swoosh!

Thwack!

Before the giant hand could cover its head, the sword pierced the troll's forehead first.

"Kraaaaaa!"

The troll let out a death scream. Its massive body rapidly lost balance. The giant fell backward like a collapsing mountain.

Boom!

Soon, the large body crashed to the ground.

"Hoo."

I let out a sigh of relief.

The split-second decision had paid off.

I said earlier that if its neck was severed, it would die, but in fact, the troll would die if its brain was damaged. Because the brain doesn't regenerate. It died from a destroyed brain due to the forehead being pierced.

"Uwaaa, we, we survived!"

Annette sobbed.

"Huff huff... we... did it...."

Kamian looked at me with hot eyes and rough breath. Truly the expression of a real comrade.

But soon, realizing the expression he was making, he quickly turned his head and composed himself.

You, you rascal.

...It's embarrassing for me too, so don't make that kind of face.

"Ahem Ahem. Well, it's over now."

Over? It's not over.

This is just the beginning, and thinking about having to care for these rookies made me feel daunted. But still, It's true that today's work ended well.

"Everyone worked hard, and now let's divide the spoils."

Thus, the protagonist, the childhood friend, and the delinquent's first dungeon raid came to a successful conclusion.
