Mushoku no Eiyuu ~Betsu ni Skill Nanka Iranakattan daga~

One of the passengers shouted at the hulking figure as it emerged stealthily from behind a rock.

'And the troll?　The trolls are out!

The troll is a large, fat, humanoid monster.

Although it moves as slowly as it looks, it boasts an overwhelming strength that can crush even rocks with just a strong grip.

But is that a troll...?

'No wait ... that's too big, isn't it?

I was just thinking the same thing.

Normal trolls can reach three meters in height.

But the troll that appeared in front of us now was, by my estimate, lightly over five meters tall.

Because of its size, the trolls seemed to be quite close to us, even though they were still more than 100 meters away.

''Don't tell me it's a troll king!

Hmm. Looks like it.

It's a high level individual of trolls.

Although they don't lead a pack like the King Orcs, they were said to have a threat level that rivaled that on their own.

The troll king noticed our presence, and his face was twisted in an eerie manner, as if he was laughing at us.

Immediately after, he approached towards us.

'Let the horses run as fast as they can!　Run!

Hey, hey!

In response to the passengers' shouts, Gosha put the whip in.

The carriage accelerated at once.

It is true that the troll breed is not very fast on its feet.

If they let the carriage fly as fast as it could, it would not be impossible for them to escape.

''Yo, good!　They're starting to let go a little bit!

The distance between him and the Troll King began to slowly open up.

Eventually, the troll king realizes that he can't keep up, and he stops.

The passengers express relief.

Even the boys and girls from earlier seemed relieved.

K.........well, I was going to use my magic to beat you.

Kite, can you hear the shake in your voice?

Thank you for the help...

I warned them.

'No, don't be alarmed yet.

The troll king stopped in his tracks, but there was still an unpleasant air coming from it.

My gut instincts warned me that that was by no means a feeling of having given up on my prey.

'What?　What are you talking--

Hmm. I think you might want to cover your ears.

I'd advise you to be quick, or the Troll King would take a breath so large that his massive body would swell even more.

'Oaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

He let out a tremendous yell.

''~~~~!''

The sky trembled and the earth shook.

The passengers, who were weak in spirit, fell down in a faint from the overwhelming "intimidation".

The horse came to a neighing sound.

The Gosha tried desperately to quiet it down, but fear took over, and there was no stopping the horse as it ran off at a crappy pace.

The carriage swung wildly from side to side and veered off the road.

The horse sprained its legs on the unmaintained road and suddenly the horse flipped over, as if it were turning over.

The carriage still coasting for a while, but eventually came to a halt when it hit a rock.

''There it is........what was that, what was that.......?''

My ears hurt...

'Huh....'

Some of the passengers, including the boys and girls, seem to be safe, although some of them have fainted.

Even the Gosha who was thrown from the Gosha's platform seems to be somehow alive as he is rolling around on the ground but is trying his best to get up.

The Troll King was still approaching slowly towards us with an annoyed smile on his face.

The passengers hurriedly tried to get away, but

Hee....

He couldn't even stand up, even though most of them hadn't even been injured.

It's because of that roar earlier.

It was probably the troll king's strategy to scare them with that and make them unable to move.

In the midst of all this, the man who was supposed to be riding in the carriage as an escort started running alone.

''Ah, the escort has escaped!

"Hey, wait!　I want you to slay that demon!

Don't be stupid!　There's no way you can fight that thing!

Ignoring the accusations, he abandoned his mission and fled quickly.

Well, everyone's life was spared, and he couldn't blame him for his decision.

'd*mn it!　I'm going to burn it with my magic........

Kite?

It was the boy from earlier who confronted the troll king.

Hmm.

He's quite brave.

........although his legs are trembling like a newborn fawn.

"Whew, Fireball!

The boy activated a rudimentary red magic that shoots out a spherical flame.

Red magic, by its nature, tends to be highly powerful, but its hit rate is somewhat inferior.

However, if the target is large and slow-moving, this disadvantage is not much of a concern.

You can find a number of different types of products in the marketplace.

''A fireball may be a fireball, but it's still a blow with all the magical power poured into it!　I don't care how many troll kings you have--

Oaaaah!

Gosh!

What?

When the Troll King let out another yell, the shockwave generated by it easily obliterated the fireball the boy had released.

''Oh, no, right...?''

The boy snaps his hips heaving in place.

''I can't believe that even Kite's magic doesn't work at all...''

We're going to die here...?

Don't worry, it won't come to that.

"What?

At my words, the girls look back at me.

'Kite, was it?　Thanks to you stalling for a little while, we're going to be able to finish it off with a single shot.

What the hell are you talking about?　What can an unemployed person do?

With the boy, who was raising his voice, behind me, I activated the magic formula I had assembled in my head.

'Explosions.'

Immediately afterwards, the troll king's huge body was enveloped in explosive flames.
