陶醉的妻子

'How did they get here?!'

Aurdis gritted her teeth as she continued to spur Star. The Stallion sped up on the quiet cobbled streets.

The sky is already dark. The moon and stars were blocked by thick clouds.

But what's even worse is the Trolls chasing Aurdis behind.

Their three meters tall bodies lined up to chase after her. A rumble could be heard from their feet on the ground.

*BUMMM!*

*BUMMM!*

*BUMMM!*

...

"GRRRHHHHH!!!"

The Trolls, apart from chasing after her and shaking the ground with their gigantic bodies, also let out a terrifying roar from their throats.

This is something very strange. How could there be Trolls so far from the caves and deep forest where they lived?

One of the three Trolls threw the large stone ax at Aurdis.

*WHUUSSHH!*

*WHUUSSHH!*

*WHUUSSHH!*

The ax spun in the air and hit the wind until it made a sound.

Aurdis turned her head and saw the ax flying toward her.

She spread her arms and the ring on her finger gave off a soft white light that cut through the darkness.

*DUANGG!*

The ax hit Aurdis' Magic shield. But the force behind the throw was big enough to throw Aurdis off Star's back.

Aurdis fell on the rocky ground. Thanks to her clothes, she didn't feel any pain.

However, Aurdis was quite shocked because of the strong force that was able to push her off Star's back.

Aurdis immediately stood up. Star came up to her with a snort and a worried neigh.

Aurdis stroked his neck to let him know that she was fine.

The Trolls still chasing her. Their bodies are tall and large with distended bellies. Their faces were covered by a kind of hood made of plants.

It made their faces invisible. But their noses are long and poking through their hoods.

Aurdis is now using Magic that allows her to see in the dark of night. If she lit a torch, it would only attract attention.

With the vision Magic, Aurdis could see the three Trolls as clear as day.

If she didn't use this Magic, her body would have been torn in half by the ax earlier.

The appearance of the Trolls in this place is really strange.

Aurdis originally thought that Saeldir's words at that time were not something serious.

'(I had a strange dream. Something is happening and nature has turned out of the ordinary.)

That's what Saeldir said back then. Before she departed from the palace.

Aurdis thought Saeldir was just worried because of what had happened in the palace.

But Aurdis didn't think about the fact that he was an Archmage. He has a Magic ability greater than hers.

And that power can also be a Precognition. The ability to predict or see the future.

Now Aurdis had to bear the fruit of her mistake because she had been careless.

If Saeldir said that he had nightmares about unusual natural conditions, it meant that the natural conditions were indeed unusual.

The existence of the Trolls far from where they used to roam was very clear proof of that.

She had heard that Trolls were weak to fire. Aurdis feels a little relieved to know something about her enemy. In this fight, she would be at an advantage.

"GRHHH...!"

One of the Trolls ran towards her. He picked up his ax and brought it to meet Aurdis.

Aurdis moved the fingers of her left hand. After that, the ring gave off a yellowish-orange glow like metal on fire.

Aurdis summoned the power of fire into her ring. Then stretched out her hand towards the approaching Troll.

It seemed that the Troll was aware of the danger. So it stops at that place. As if considering the next step it would take.

Aurdis bit her lower lip. She held back the fire Magic energy that was gathering at the tip of her palm.

"(Back off. Let me pass!)" Aurdis said threateningly.

However, she wasn't sure that the Trolls could understand what she was saying.

Aurdis doesn't know much about Trolls. She wasn't even sure that Trolls were smart enough to communicate with certain languages.

The Troll made a snarling sound like it was confused about something. Then the Troll raised its hand to its head and smack it repeatedly.

Aurdis frowned because she didn't understand what was happening.

The two Trolls suddenly ran toward their friend. Aurdis became more and more worried.

'Did they decide to attack together?'

Now Aurdis raised her right hand as well. The ring on the ring finger of his right hand gave off a yellowish-orange glow.

If she had to face three Trolls at once, she would have to use both of her hands.

The two Trolls were standing around their friend who was beating its own head. They let out a confused growl.

'What is going on?'

Seeing the three Trolls getting weirder and weirder, Aurdis retreated slowly toward Star.

But before she could go any further, the three Trolls suddenly stopped moving.

They straightened their bodies and stood stiffly. Slowly, they turned towards Aurdis.

Audis suddenly saw a red glow from their eyes hidden under the hood.

Her brow furrowed in confusion. However, before Aurdis could even think about anything, the three Trolls suddenly charged toward her together.

Aurdis' eyes widened in shock. She acted quickly by snapping her fingers.

*Click!*

*ZWOOOSSSHHH!!!*

Two fireballs shot from Aurdis's hands toward the Trolls.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

The three Trolls were hit by Aurdis' fireballs. But they were not thrown back.

They just stagger like they've been hit by a blunt object. As soon as the smoke from the explosion subsided, Aurdis was shocked to see the scene before her eyes.

The three Trolls were badly burned. Their skin is charred and even peeling.

Even some of their flesh was crushed until their ribs were exposed. Yet, they didn't look in pain.

The only sound that came out of their throats was an absurd growl.

Aurdis' two fireballs burned their hoods so their faces were now visible.

Their faces looked like the faces of the Trolls in the description Aurdis had heard.

Ugly with big teeth hanging out and very wide eyes.

But their eyes gave off a strange red glow.
