Level up is hard? I can Directly Purchase infinite Levels!-Chapter 74: The Trolls Electrocuted into Total Collapse

Manestone, Manebone, and two other troll warriors immediately locked onto Raine.

Before they could even launch an attack, a heart-stopping surge of lightning erupted around Raine!

Crackle—!

Countless arcs of silver electricity went berserk with him at the center, weaving and converging in midair, transforming into hundreds—no, thousands—of thunderbirds blazing with dazzling electric light!

The surrounding Nex was violently drawn in, fusing into those thunderbirds. Their forms rapidly swelled as they radiated waves of utterly destructive power.

With a single downward press of Raine’s fist toward the surging tide of trolls below—

Screee!

The thunderbirds seemed to receive a command. Like a startled flock, they scattered in all directions, plunging downward in a carpet-bombing assault, carrying lethal currents of annihilating lightning straight into the troll horde!

BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM—!!!

An unbroken chain of thunderous explosions instantly drowned out the trolls’ roars!

Blinding electric light detonated wildly within the mass of trolls.

Devastating currents lashed out like innumerable furious whips, mercilessly striking and tearing apart the trolls’ powerful bodies!

From afar, the area before Sunfall Gorge looked as though it had been transformed in an instant into a purgatory of lightning!

The carpet-style thunder bombardment swallowed everything. Dust mixed with flesh and shattered bones blasted skyward. Even the surface of the nearby lake was torn apart, enormous waves surging up and crashing violently against the shore.

The violent tremors made the surrounding mountains quake.

Shattered troll limbs were further ripped apart amid the lightning, while the stench of scorched flesh and blood spread everywhere. The thunderous detonations intertwined with the trolls’ shrill, agonized screams, continuing without pause.

This apocalyptic scene left the remaining defenders within the Sunfall Gorge outpost pale with horror.

[Ding! You have slain a large number of trolls. Bloodstone +95, +1250, +105, +150, +580...]

Manestone, Manebone, and the two troll warriors were blasted until their flesh was mangled and torn. Though their formidable physiques allowed them to endure the attack, they were still left stunned and reeling!

Seeing their clansmen slaughtered in an instant, corpses and wails everywhere, boundless rage and savagery finally consumed them completely.

"Damn you, you insect! Die!!"

Manestone roared, grabbing an axe as large as a wagon wheel. Violent Nex erupted from his body as he leapt into the air and hacked viciously toward Raine in the sky!

Manebone and the other two troll warriors also bellowed in fury, swinging their massive fists. Crude runes representing troll power flared to life upon their knuckles, and one terrifying punch after another was hurled through the air toward Raine!

At the same time—

Kyle led his squad out from the forested flank, charging straight at the trolls who had been left dazed and disoriented by the lightning bombardment.

The Thunder Light Wings on Raine’s back vibrated. His figure left behind a string of afterimages in the air as he effortlessly dodged the four trolls’ combined assault.

In the next instant, he appeared like a ghost amid the fleeing troll masses on the ground.

Blade light flashed like snow—and like lightning!

Shhk! Crack!

Cold, merciless arcs of steel swept past.

One massive troll head after another flew into the air, frozen in expressions of terror. Blood erupted from severed necks, spraying several meters high.

[Ding! You have slain Formal-rank Troll ×8. Bloodstone +785!]

"Bastard!!"

"A bunch of trash—think you can catch me?"

Manestone whirled around and gave chase, hurling a punch through the air. The shockwave blasted forward like a cannonball.

Raine activated Lightstep. His body blurred as though merging with light itself, effortlessly evading the attack. A trace of disdainful amusement flickered across his face as he continued weaving through the chaos, harvesting lives—targeting any troll leaders who tried to organize resistance.

Manebone thundered forward, each step shaking the ground as he attempted to intercept.

Raine was even faster. A flash of Thunder Light, and he had already changed direction, continuing his slaughter.

The other two troll warriors joined the encirclement with furious roars.

Yet Raine—having fully integrated Thunder Light, Lightstep, and Flowstep—had reached an astonishing level of speed and agility.

Though the troll warriors possessed terrifying strength, their flexibility was far inferior. They could only watch helplessly as Raine darted across the battlefield, cutting down their clansmen like wheat before a scythe.

"Damn it! We can’t touch him at all!"

"Retreat! Fall back to Ironfang Outpost!"

Watching their people be massacred in a one-sided slaughter, Manestone finally exploded in fury and issued the order to retreat. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The four of them continued to chase and bombard Raine, but every attack missed. Meanwhile, Kyle and the others fought desperately to pin down large numbers of trolls, preventing an easy withdrawal.

Raine’s killing speed only increased!

He became a whirlwind of death. Wherever he passed, trolls fell in swathes like felled trees. Blood dyed the land and lake waters of Sunfall Gorge a deep crimson.

"Damn it! Damn you!!!"

Manestone roared and cursed in madness, but it was useless.

The more he raged, the faster and deadlier Raine’s blade became!

Even trolls who had nearly reached the forest’s edge were caught and beheaded in a single strike.

"AAAAA—!!"

Manestone was completely consumed by fury.

Reason was swallowed by berserk rage. He no longer cared about his clansmen or any tactics. Only one thought remained—

Catch that damned human and tear him to pieces!

He chased frantically after the blood-streaked figure flashing across the battlefield...

Troll heads flew everywhere before his eyes, driving him utterly insane as he unleashed wild, indiscriminate attacks at Raine’s shadow.

Manebone and the other two troll warriors were likewise driven nearly mad.

"Damn human insect! You dare slaughter my people—I’ll kill every one of these human soldiers!"

Manebone roared savagely and turned, charging toward the battered Sunfall Gorge outpost.

Raine’s gaze turned icy as his thoughts raced.

The phantom of the White Unicorn instantly manifested before him!

A spiral spear wrapped in the aura of judgment shot forth—

Like teleporting holy light, it struck before Manebone could even react, pinning him brutally into the mountain rock!

Pshhk!

The spear pierced straight through his chest. The overwhelming power of judgment instantly pulverized his chest cavity!

[Ding! You have slain a Master-rank Troll. Bloodstone +11,530!]

The remaining two troll warriors were struck with terror and immediately pulled back.

At the same time, they shouted desperately to Manestone, who was still chasing Raine in madness.

"Lord Manestone! Retreat now!"

"This human is no ordinary enemy—we must withdraw first!"

Raine ignored their cries.

His hands rapidly formed seals as the lightning power within him resonated with the Blood Pact.

Elemental Thunder Lion!

A lion entirely condensed from violent lightning materialized—Raine’s newly contracted Abyssal Behemoth!

Like a bolt that tore through space itself, the thunder lion instantly pierced through the two retreating troll warriors!

Crackle!

Terrifying currents erupted inside their bodies, instantly carbonizing flesh and bone alike!

Their massive forms exploded into a rain of blood and mist amid electric light, then were further erased by the annihilating energy.

[Ding! You have slain Expert-rank Troll ×2. Bloodstone +5,110!]

This sight finally snapped Manestone back to a shred of clarity!

Shock and fury warred within him as he immediately turned and fled deep into the forest.

But Raine—already drunk on slaughter—would never let him escape.

With a push of his left hand, the long-charged phantom of an Infernal Griffin burst forth, wings spread wide and wrapped in hellfire, slamming brutally into Manestone’s broad back and exploding into a searing inferno!

At the same time, in Raine’s right hand, an incomparably solid spear of lightning had already taken shape!

Just as Manestone roared in pain and smashed apart the clinging infernal griffin flames with a punch—

Psh!

The spear of destruction became a streak of light, piercing precisely through Manestone’s eye and exiting from the back of his skull!

The terrifying penetrative force carried his four-to-five-meter-tall massive body flying forward.

He was hurled hundreds of meters before crashing heavily to the ground. His body twitched twice—then fell silent.

[Ding! You have slain a Master-rank Troll. Bloodstone +12,510!]
