Supreme Monarch

Kazko's expression changed the moment Rekaz body hit the ground. He may have had more self-control but even he was on the verge of charging at this young man and would've ended up falling for whatever trick this man had used. Thinking this man was the weakest amongst the three had also been a mistake.

Although he had only felt it for a second, the moment his eyes had changed color, pressure the like of which even lord Zerahut would only dream of, had dominated this plains.

He was unsure of what had happened, but it was clear that this man was at least as strong as the blue-haired magic user and if they were to face all three at once, they would find it difficult to escape with their lives.

Looking at the three already close to him, he knew instinctively that escape was no longer an option. His brows narrowed and a thrill of cold ran from the bottoms of his feet to the top of his head.

There had only been a few times he had felt this but Kazko was sure of it, it had only happened in his struggles along the edge of life and death. It was a sign of impending doom.

Kazko quickly rejected that idea, even if the odds were against them, there was no way he would lose here. The young man was still underestimating them due to the level of strength they had shown so far but that would be his greatest mistake.

They had only just evolved and hadn't fully comprehended the expanse of their strength. The more they fought the more they would adapt to their new bodies and be able to fully utilize their power and find the best ways to use their new skills.

Still, the numbers disadvantage was a problem, 'Numbers?.' Kazko sneered as the arrogant words of this young demon registered in his mind.

He tightens the grip on his blade once more, his fingers digging into the flesh of his palm. "So... You want to fight us alone huh, we'll oblige... Of course, once we win, that weapon is ours."

Tyler turned his gaze back to the light grey troll and with a slight smile, he nodded. "Naturally, and like I said, as long as you leave a single scratch on me, you win. And if I win, you'll both become my pet...Mmm, maybe pet is a little demeaning for warriors like yourselves so let's just say you'll both submit to me."

"Submit huh... Kukuku... Do you think you have the power to make a Battle and a Berserker Troll submit to you?"

"Huh, That's a good question, I guess we'll find out."

"Very well, the trolls behind me will just get in the way so don't fret, they'll only be watching this fight."

"Mmm, how noble, although this feels kinda familiar, hope you fare better than the last one."

"You insolent..." Rekaz said as he finally stood up in a frenzy, "What did you do to me?"

"I have no idea."

"YOU BASTAR!—"

"REKAZ!" Kazko quickly cut him off as he signaled for the Gray trolls behind him to step back. "Calm down, you'll get your chance, first we retrieve the weapon."

Rekaz stopped hesitantly, his teeth were grinding audibly as his eyes got redder and redder. He raised his shield and took a wild fighting stance.

Kazko walked behind him and held his bone sword with both hands as they both reactivated their berserk skills that had been deactivated when these three had suddenly appeared.

Tyler saw the trolls accept his challenge and gently nodded. He held no weapons but still chose to step forward, opting to start at a closer range than any magic caster would. After coming to a halt at around the 10-meter mark.

"You may begin."

As the last words left his mouth, Rekaz body had already kicked off the ground and charged at him with a crimson aura. Kazko trailed only slightly behind and was able to match Rekaz movements perfectly.

Tyler had his arms in his pocket and even as the raging Berserker Troll charged at him, he did nothing.

As Rekaz reached a sufficient distance for him to strike. He canceled his charge and his arms sprung back and immediately shot forth as he thrust his Spear at the young man only a few feet before him.

°Destructive Strike°

The spear was engulfed in his crimson aura as it tore through the air creating several similar attacks on its way. The intense attack would normally be impossible to dodge from that distance but the young man just took a step to the side and avoided them.

As Tyler tilted his body to the right to avoid the attack, he saw the Battle troll already in front of him having somehow predicted how he would move. If this was a normal fight between equals then he would've been in trouble, however, the trolls were still too slow and he just took a step back and avoided the troll's, Lacerating Slash.

The red troll charged at him again with his shield held up and the moment he was within range, he swiped it with immerse force and although Tyler thought about just blocking it, he quickly changed his mind and took several steps back. Yet again the Battle troll had somehow guessed his move and had already appeared before him even with the speed difference, it seems to be able to read the flow of the battle.

°Horizontal slash°

The Battle troll swung his sword horizontally and a streak of greyish red aura gusted out at Tyler giving him no space to dodge. Rekaz also ran forward in a bid to strike if the young man decides to block the attack. However, they both suddenly lost track of him.

Kazko's brows twitched as he immediately raised his perception and soon located the young man behind them. His left leg cracked the ground as his right swept around in a swift motion and with a swing of his arm, his bone sword lashed out like a whip.

°Whiplash.°

His bone sword was coated in a crimson aura and the strike split into six identical attacks that moved semi-randomly with an intense force.

However, Tyler saw through the effects of these whips quite easily. There was no need for him to restrict his speed in this fight and he could see the real attack coming at him rather slowly.

Tyler took a step forward as he avoided the real attack and the others just went right through him. Kazko frowned but Rekaz had already gotten back his bearing and activated a skill. °Endless Fury°, his aura intensified, and with the combined effects of his berserk skill and Furious Charge, his ability had broken past its limit.

His weight shattered the ground as he lunged forth faster than even the sound of the shattered earth could keep up with. He roared ferociously as he used a technique. "Dark Strike." The Dark aura that engulfs his spear shot forward like a raging beast threatening to devour Tyler whole and yet Tyler still avoided the attack by moving slightly to the left.

"STOP SQUIRMING AROUND AND DIE!!!"

Rekaz bellowed in a fit of frustrating anger as a burst of ravaging energy shot out of his body destroying everything within a 15-meter radius around him. Kazko had no choice but to jump back so he could stay clear of that attack as he knew Rekaz was consumed by rage and wouldn't consider the implications of that move.

He also saw Tyler jump back and easily avoided the attack. Rekaz immediately charged at him again and Kazko did the same. They fought with intensity as Kazko kept striking at him whenever Rekaz would create an opportunity but It didn't seem to matter.

It didn't matter how well he coordinated his strikes, it didn't matter the technique or skill they used, this man just simply weaved his way through all of them, and although Kazko had always known that speed was the greatest weakness of a troll, that was no longer the case for them, they were currently moving faster than even sound and yet it felt like this man was on a whole different level.

It didn't matter how strong they had become if non of their attacks could touch him and with the way things were going, they would lose eventually.

As the young man avoided Rekaz attack by moving left Kazko immediately cut him off and swung his blade several times.

°Continuous Lacerating Slash°

Several waves of energy sliced through the air as it approaches the man who he had cornered. However, he was somehow able to move out of the range of his attack in time and even Kazko was getting frustrated, and naturally so was Rekaz.

"STOP RUNNING AROUND LIKE A COWARD AND FIGHT LIKE A PROPER TROLL."

"Well I'm pretty sure I'm not a troll but alright, I've already seen all I needed to, let's end this."

The two unique trolls were special. After watching their attacks from such close range for a short while he could tell that they were far superior to that Gray-War troll he had fought a while back. Not only were they capable of actual teamwork, well at least one of them was. But even the red troll's fighting style and technique were nothing simple.

He must've had an immense level of battle instincts and although his strikes were wild, they were also precise and focused and if he wasn't that much faster than them and was able to perceive their attacks at a faster rate, he would have found it difficult to keep up.

However, what Tyler was impressed with the most was the Battle troll. He fought with a level of intelligence that Tyler hadn't expected. Naturally, his familiarity with the red troll was important in their teamwork but the mere fact that he was able to read the flow of a battle so well was amazing.

With his curiosity satisfied, there was no longer any need to continue with this charade, after all, he had already located his actual target without having to show his cards. Tyler's body came to a complete stop as he stared blankly at the two trolls encouraging them to attack.

Kazko was a little confused by this man's motive. He had a clear advantage with his speed but that didn't mean he would have the advantage of strength or was he still underestimating them because he was so much faster.

As a Battle Troll, a troll born from battle and for battle, his blood boiled with rage at this insult. His body trembled with anger and his aura went wild. There was no doubt Rekaz was the same. He was a Berserker Troll, born of rage and wild ferocity, there was no way they could stand for such insults.

Both their auras felt like a volcano had erupted and it even startled the ogres and beastmen who instinctively took steps back and so did the Gray Trolls. They both shot forth faster than the loud bang of the ground that had caved in under to their feet as they lunged at Tyler.

°Devastating Crash°

°Roaring Slash.°

They both came storming forth with their strongest sure kill attacks as their weapons descended upon the young man before he could even react.

BOOM!!

The immerse force of their attacks had shattered everything around them in more than a 50-meter radius, reducing this battlefield to a complete mess. The resulting shockwave sent the Gray trolls and some of the ogres and beastmen who were still relatively close to that attack flew back.

Rock, dust, and snow were kicked up in the air all around them and non of the fighters outside could tell what had happened.

The troll's attack had even been too fast for a few of them to follow and they all had worries in their eyes as they hope lord Ty had somehow managed to avoid that devastating attack that had destroyed a large portion of the battlefield.

"No need to worry, Lord Ty isn't so weak that such an attack would kill him," Albert reassured the worried fighters still left standing.

However...

There was still a collective gasp as everyone's eyes went wide when the dust settled down revealing Tyler still standing in his original position. The trolls in front of him with their weapons trembling slightly, still on his shoulders.

Web-like cracks formed on their blades and with an echo, their weapons shattered like glass. The trolls themselves didn't seem to understand what was happening as they both stared at the demon with expressions that represented the terror in their hearts as this young man gently smiled at them.

Their eyes went white the moment his eyes regained that red hue and their bodies went limb as they fell like giant logs creating a loud Thud that echoed throughout the battlefield.

Tyler gently turned his head to face the forest and his eyes glowed red once more as his pupils turned into a slit, his vision instantly crossing the distance of more than a thousand meters and landed on several dark cloaked figures that were perched atop several trees as they stared in the direction of the battlefield intently.

With a smile, Tyler spoke under his breath, "I found you."
