Restarting Life In Another World

Chapter 67

At that moment, Billy realized how powerless he was. All the years he spent honing his skills was useless while facing an enemy who could only be defeated using raw power. His precision and speed were useless when he lacked enough firepower to make a dent.

But Drake, who was cornered, already knew his limits. So, instead of thinking about his powerlessness, he was trying to think of a way to escape.

Right when the troll was about to swing his war hammer, he shot a small fireball towards the troll"s face.

"UAAAAAAAA!"

It wasn"t big enough to do some real damage, but was big enough to make the troll lose its balance for a few seconds. And because of that, the troll ended up swinging the hammer a little higher than where it originally intended.

This gave Drake enough room to escape from the opening between its legs.

Drake was running low on mana to do any counterattack from behind, so his only option was to fall back.

Both of them weren"t knights or adventures who specialize in direct combat. So, they had their limits while facing an enemy like this. Their best and only option was to work together and come up with a plan.

"Billy, stop being lost in thoughts. We need to work together here."

Billy"s eyes widened. He never expected to hear those words from Drake. Even though they had been together for all these years now, Drake was always a loner. He used to do almost everything his own way and never liked a.s.sociating himself with others.

"Better late than never," thought Billy as he pulled himself together by taking a long breath.

"Okay, let"s run in circles in the opposite directions to confuse them with our movements, and use any opportunity that we get to attack. My attacks don"t work on them, but I will try to use my wind magic to make my movements faster and attract their attention more."

Even though the plan was difficult to pull, this was one of the best options they had in this situation. The only problem was their mana bank. They could only absorb a limited amount of mana from the surrounding while a lot more mana would be necessary to carry out this plan.

As they were discussing their plans, the troll that was crying in agony because of the attack earlier came charging towards Billy who was near.

Billy did as planned and started running in the opposite direction from the other troll.

Watching that, Drake also ran in the opposite direction while trying to catch the attention of the other troll.

Both of them were maintaining enough distance for now. But Drake who couldn"t use wind magic was falling behind.

Billy knew that would be the case, so he had already planned the next move.

"Drake, towards the center," said Billy. Even though his voice was unclear because of the heavy breathing, Drake understood what he was trying to do.

Right when he reached the corner, Drake shot a small fireball like the one he used earlier towards the troll"s face to use it as a distraction to make a diagonal turn.


There was already enough distance between Billy and the other trolls so he could easily make a diagonal turn.

When they were about to reach the center, Drake brought his right hand forward.

Billy, who was coming from the opposite direction, understood what he was trying to do.

When they were at each other"s reach, Billy caught Drake"s right hand using his left and pulled him. In the process both of them gained enough momentum to slide between the troll"s legs.

Trolls were too focused on Drake and Billy that they weren"t looking any further, so they ended up colliding with each other.

For creatures who couldn"t even feel "air slash", this collision couldn"t cause significant harm. But since they were all muscle with very little brain, the confusion from the collision lasted for a while giving both of them enough time to recover their mana.

When Drake felt like he recovered enough mana, he created a fireball as large as he could and shot it towards the center of the room, where the trolls were.

"UAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Because of the blast, both of the trolls fell backward but the impact was still not powerful enough to finish them.

"d.a.m.n! they are so resilient," said Billy in an annoyed tone.

This was their best teamwork so far - not that they had done much teamwork before - but even when both of them were doing their best, it wasn"t still enough.

"Man, they are coming again, let"s go for the second round," said Billy when he saw them stand up again.

The trolls charged towards them so they tried confusing them with the same stratergy. When they reached the corner, they did the same as before and tried going diagonal.

But right after they took a turn, they realized something was wrong. The troll that was following Billy didn"t follow him like before, instead, when Billy tried making a diagonal turn, he swung his war hammer towards him.

"BILLY!"

It was too late for both Billy and Drake to do anything. Both of them were unprepared for this. And before Billy could even realize what was coming towards him, he got hit by the war hammer and the impact sent him flying towards the wall where he collided.

Drake was in a predicament with no way to escape. But right at that moment, a bright light appeared from the door on the left wall. And from there appeared Flare in her Divine form.

The bright light that flare was emitting made both the troll step back while trying to block the light using their hands.

"I will enhance your fire magic with my flames, try attacking them now."

Drake hadn"t seen Flare in her Divine form before. But his instinct, that he trusted the most, was telling him that it was the same bird that he saw before.

After he heard the bird say that, he tried creating a fireball. He was surprised when it ended up becoming bigger than what he considered biggest. But the surprise didn"t end there. Even after creating the fireball, there was a lot of mana left in his mana bank. And despite the huge flow of mana in him, he was able to control it perfectly.

He shot the fireball towards the troll that attacked Billy.

Without wasting any time, he turned around towards the other troll and created three fire javelins. Usually his limit was one, and it too lacked enough firepower to do any real damage to a troll. But this time Flare"s support magic was boosting his abilities several fold.

He shot all three towards the other troll.

The javelins pierced through troll"s head, neck, and heart. And in just a few seconds, both trolls fell on their knees, burned to death.

Drake looked towards his hand in surprise and turned towards Flare saying, "What are y-". But before he could complete his sentence, he fell unconscious on the ground.

He wasn"t used to handling this level of mana flow.
