Chapter 275 Dealing With The Troll

"Tsk," Ray clicked his tongue in disappointment. Hailey was strong but her experience was lacking. She didn't know how to deal with such monsters and it was the tripping point.

Ray knew that they had lost the fight before it even started.

"Guess I will have to step in," he thought but waited. He would let them suffer for some time and then step forward and defeat the troll.

He had a whole plan ready in his mind and he was sure that he would be able to defeat the troll easily.

"All of you, spread up," Hailey switched tactics. Knowing that attacking at once wouldn't work, she decided to spread up and attack from all sides.

Though, she cared for her safety beforehand and gathered the strongest ones around her. Moving farthest from the troll, she focused on attacking using ranged attacks.

"Sighhh," Ray couldn't take it anymore. Just seeing her strategy was a torture.

He knew that the troll was strong and that Hailey was afraid of facing it head on not just for foolish reasons.

She had valid points for doing so. The troll had a strange sort of mist around it and that mist was poisonous but there were ways to tackle it. She couldn't just act like that, she had to step up and take some risks.

Ray raised his hand in front of him. His eyes had electrical arcs flowing in them. His visage changed. The concealed aura burst open like a rag in river.

As if a predator had awakened. A strange phantom appeared behind him. It was not just new for him but for everyone else. There had been phantoms of a dragon and a Phoenix but this one was different.

It didn't have a face or definite shape. Not yet that was but the aura and strength it exuded was beyond anything. It was the every definition of the element he controlled right now.

It was domineering. It was powerful. Having unparalleled strength and an unyielding aura, it was the phantom of the progenitor of the lightning element.

Ray looked ahead. His eyes were wide open and had lightning running in them. He looked at the troll as the troll turned around and looked back at him.

The troll wasn't a fool. It knew that another contender had appeared and from the aura it sensed. It was either kill or be killed.

The troll pointed at Ray. The smirk on it's face showed its confidence in defeating Ray.

Ray on the other hand was calm. He looked calm but there was a river of rage flowing within him. He had caught onto something primal. Even if it was a small thread, he had caught onto it and was trying to gain as much he could from it.

The thread wasn't to strong and Ray didn't have much time. He summoned the Void Shards.

The Void Spear appeared. He dismantled the spear midair and gave it the form of a sword. This time, he was going to use it as a sword and not just any sword. He was going for a while bastard sword to maximize his damage output.

He exerted his domain as the area around him changed. Bolts of lightning appeared everywhere as the air around him crackled from inside out.

Grabbing the Void Sword, he equipped his blood armor. The armor appeared on his body and integrated into his flesh.

Blood fell on the ground but Ray didn't care. He was going for maximum strength and to gain that sort of power, a little bit of pain was nothing.

His hands, feet, torso were covered in dark black armor that shimmered with strange mysterious runes.

Clenching the weird tightly with his hands, Ray infused his mana into it. As his mana flowed into the sword, the Void shards that made it shimmered slightly. They then pulse with a strange glow and whizzed with electrical energy.

The shards had the ability to store mana in the same form it was inserted and Ray wanted to use this ability to cause even greater damage to the troll.

The troll exhaled loudly. Just the exhale from it released a shockwave that trend around the surroundings.

Ray plunged the sword into the ground and closed his eyes. Controlling the lighting particles around him, he released the electricity into the ground and used himself as an earthing rod.

The lightning around him hit his body. It shook his flesh and bones but to Ray, it was nothing but a breeze. He had unlocked his domain and it allowed him to have very high elemental resistance against the element he unlocked the domain for.

Right now, his resistance against lightning was so strong that he could easily handle lightning bolts that fell upon the dean earlier.

Planting his feet on the ground, he stood like an removable mountain. Lifting his sword in the air, he held it in a slanted position and concentrated his strength at one point.

"Hughhh," Exhaling lightly, he closed his eyes. The scene in front him appeared even clearer now. He could see everything, even the mana in the air.

The troll's body was huge and had many weak points. Ray was trying to use his system and perception to detect the troll's weak points.

"His nape," Ray muttered and got into action.

He took a step forward and disappeared. Turning into a blur, he circled around the troll and appeared behind it.

Looking at the troll, he saw its back wide open. Another benefit was that the troll was slow and hadn't seen him yet.

This was the perfect time to attack and Ray exactly did that. He slashed his sword upward. The Void stones lit up one by one as they pulsed outwards and projected their energy along with Ray's slash.

A hug electrical arc was formed as it made its way towards the troll. The arc was a combination of multiple lightning bolts and was nothing but deadly.

"Banggg!!" The attack hit the troll. Opening a shallow wound as the electrical energy spread over the troll's neck.

The troll's neck was paralyzed but that was it. There was no significant damage caused and even the paralyze effect was wearing off faster than ever.

Ray shook his head. He had underestimated the troll's thick skin and he had to do something.

Not only that but it was now that he realized the effect of the mist that the troll had released.

He was now feeling light headed and also aroused to some extent. Not only that, but Ray felt like hallucinating things. He felt the troll moving left and right and felt it breaking apart into two trolls.

To stop the effect of the mist, Ray grabbed the Void Sword and held it tightly. Calling upon the lightning elements nearby, he electrocuted himself.

Various bolts of lightning were formed as they fell upon him one after the other. He was electrocuted continuously and it helped him a lot.

His consciousness slowly came back as he felt himself gaining control over himself.

"I gotta do something," He tried to improvise as he thought of a way. An idea came to him as he steeled his resolve and stood straight.

The sword was in his hand and he was ready to pull the troll in for some misery. He let the Void Shards release the energy and continuously electrocute him with bolts of lightning.

The sword was the source and he was the conductor. He kicked he ground and jumped in the air. He set his feet on the troll's skin and started moving up.

He ran up the troll and the sword slid along the troll's skin along with him. Not only was he being zapped every second but so was the troll.

As for his second arm, it was free and undergoing a transformation. Faint scales appeared on his arm as claws extended out of his fingers. Dark bolts surfaced on his arm as he threw the sword in the air.

Jumping after the sword, he used his transformed arm and held the sword with it. As the sword and arm came in contact, the Void Shards glowed. Their color darkened as blackish arcs surfaced over them.

The sword turned dark and eerie as Ray held it tightly and spun in the air.

His target the was troll's neck and he was going to use his momentum and speed to increase his attack power. The sword swung around with him as he turned into a small tornado.

Electrical arcs congregated around him as they slowly spread outwards. Ray made his way towards the troll's neck while still in the air.

It seemed as if a small tornado of lighting bolts was falling towards the troll's neck.

All this while, Ray's eyes were closed and he was using his perception to identify his surroundings and attack the troll.

Within seconds, he was upon the troll and by this time, the troll had caught up to him.

However, in front of Ray's speed, the troll could do nothing. The troll saw as the sword struck its neck. There was the same smirk on it's face as the troll had absolute confidence in it's defense but it underestimated Ray's lightning element strengthened by his blood line.

The moment the sword touched the troll's neck, it was over. The troll's expression changed as panic was now written all over it's face.
