Chapter 268: Chapter 262: Rescue the Hostages
The troll burst into flames upon contact, as if its body were made of some highly flammable material. Lancelot was not surprised by this; the troll’s essence pulsated with Wood System Spirit Power, which was the source of its supernatural healing abilities. According to the philosophy of Spiritual Cultivation, wood begets fire, so it was logical that trolls were flammable.
He swung Frostslash, decapitating the troll that he had ensnared with his vines, then flicked his sword blade, tossing the screaming head into the fire.
The beheaded troll continued to struggle violently. Such a wound, which would be fatal for most creatures with only one head, seemed to only inconvenience the troll by depriving it of its senses. Lancelot swung his weapon again, chopping the troll’s limbs off piece by piece and throwing them all into the fire.
Even dismembered, the troll’s arms, legs, and torso still struggled to roll out of the fire, as if each severed limb had its own consciousness; the scene was both horrifying and bizarre. But Lancelot pinched a formula, and several still-burning vines stretched out like tentacles, wrapping around the desperately rolling limbs and dragging them back into the flames.
This might have seemed cruel, but had these beasts considered such an end when they were beating a bound little girl?
The Succubus Paladin had already rushed to Lilu’s side, checking on the condition of the small Aira girl.
“No! Lilu, she...”
Dong Quan’s choked voice arose behind her. The child before her was in a pitiful state, barely clinging to life.
Her distinctively large Aira eyes were swollen to thin slits, surrounded by dark bruises; her slender arms were tied behind her in an unnatural angle, clearly broken; and her body was a patchwork of blue and purple bruises, with some areas alarmingly swollen and others unsettlingly indented.
“Please, please, stop hitting me... Dong... Dong Quan? Is that you?” the little girl’s voice was almost a whisper. Her eyes could no longer open, and she could only rely on the voice to barely recognize it was her friend, “Run... run away...”
“I’m... I’m sorry!” The little girl struggled to sit up to apologize, but she let out a pained cry when she exerted her arm and lay back down again.
“Don’t rush, your bones might not have fully healed yet.” Elothysia bent down and carefully picked up the little girl, “I’ll protect you, don’t worry.”
“Tha... thank you ...” The red-haired Aira child’s voice was still very weak, while Dong Quan, on the shoulder of the Succubus Paladin, continually made faces at her little friend, trying to cheer her up.
Outside the stone house, a Troll finally realized that it wasn’t their worshipped Evil God suddenly getting angry, but that someone had launched an attack on them.
A few Trolls ran back and charged at the attackers. The scene that unfolded next utterly crushed their courage—Lancelot manipulated the burning vines to grab them, a terrifying sight for the Trolls who feared flames. All the Trolls fled in terror, not one remained.
“Haha, these cowards, they got off easy.” the Dwarf picked up his hammer and shield again, “Lancelot, shall we also retreat quickly?”
“Yeah.” The Human Knight nodded, but at that moment, a sudden urgent call from Clone Well echoed in his mind:
“Be careful! Shadows are coming your way!”
