Supreme Ruler: Reincarnated as the Emperor's Bastard Son

Trolls.

They were massive creatures with thick, leathery skin, and razor-sharp claws combined with their massive body.

To defeat a troll one-on-one, it would take a 3-star aura knight and to fight against a herd of them not even a 4-star knight would be enough.

That was how powerful the trolls were in a group.

They had incredible regenerative power, which meant they could heal from even the most serious injuries in a matter of seconds.

This made them almost impossible to kill.

But Ashoka was not afraid of the trolls.

He had trained diligently in the Tower of Wisdom for the last four years and had even learned various types of magic from the magician of the Tower.

He was confident in his powers.

"Do not interfere, Hema"

A smile appeared on Ashoka's face as he whipped the horse to charge ahead.

Hema although hesitant, stood on standby.

She also knew that real-life experiences like this were necessary for the growth of Ashoka, there was no one who wished for Ashoka's well-being more than her so she wanted him to get stronger so that he could protect himself.

"I understand, my prince"

Although she said that, she was ready to intercept the fight as soon as Ashoka was to get in some sort of danger.

Ashoka drew his sword and charged at the trolls, his horse galloping at full speed.

The trolls roared angrily and charged towards him, their massive bodies shaking the ground.

Each one of them was about 8 feet tall and had a massive body, they were kind of disgusting to look at as numerous injuries that were healed over time had left their face in scraps.

Ashoka swung his sword, aiming for the trolls' heads.

-Slash!

But the trolls unlike their massive body were too quick, and Ashoka's sword missed its mark.

-Grahhh!

-Wrhaaa!

The trolls attacked with ferocity, their claws slicing through the air.

Ashoka dodged their blows, moving his horse in a zigzag pattern to avoid their attacks.

He struck back with his sword, aiming for their limbs. But the trolls' regenerative powers allowed them to heal from his cuts almost instantly.

"Tch!"

Although he had guessed it, it wasn't easy to face multiple trolls head-on.

On top of their massive body and incredible regenerative power, they were also quite agile which made them difficult enemies to face in groups.

-Wrahh!

They even coordinated their attack and attacked with ferocity, which made facing them even harder.

-Slash

-Splash

The massive of claw of the troll came aiming at his head.

Although Ashoka managed to dodge the attack by moving his upper body to the back, his horse was not so lucky and was hit with the troll's claw.

-Neigh!

Ashoka who noticed that the horse could no longer carry him, jumped away from it and the horse collapsed on the ground.

"You will pay for doing that to my horse."

A hint of anger appeared on Ashoka's face and he jumped back and prepared to engage them once again.

"Guess I have to get serious."

He aimed the sword in the troll's direction and concentrated on the things before him.

A grimoire came off from the book holder on his waist and hovered beside him.

It was the dragon grimoire.

[You are finally using it huh?]

Draco who had been asleep all this time without saying anything suddenly spoke up.

"You are still alive, huh?"

He had suddenly stopped talking one day Ashoka had thought something had happened to him but guess he was more persistent than that.

[You think you can get rid of the mighty black dragon that easily? Dream on, kid!]

He chuckled at his arrogance.

[Anyway, show me a great fight! I am too bored of staying in your mental world all this time.]

"Hehe, I won't disappoint you."

"Flame spears"

As soon as Ashoka said that, six spears made of fire appeared before him.

"Time to set you guys on fire"

As Ashoka charged towards the trolls, the spears behind him passed by him, heading towards the trolls at his will.

-Gwaaa!

The first two spears charged at one of the trolls which was easily blocked by it, but it couldn't block off the next two which changed the direction and hit either of its legs.

The next two spears which were on the back cleared the way for Ashoka who was running towards the injured troll and blocked the other trolls from interfering with him.

The troll which was pierced by the spears lost balance and kneeled on the ground.

Ashoka saw his chance and used the Empire's swordsmanship that he was most confident in.

"Empire's swordsmanship, third form"

before the Troll could realize something, the cold blade of Ashoka severed its neck, cleanly separating it from its huge body.

-Thud

The head of the troll rolled on the ground and the red blood from the headless body gushed out, splashing all over Ashoka.

"Merciless blade"

-Ha

As Ashoka wiped off the blood from his face, a twisted smile appeared on his face.

"This is more fun than I thought"

[Khuhahaha! You finally realize it kid…more…more…draw more blood]

The grimoire was activated once again, and this time it wasn't six but twelve spears that appeared behind him.

He pushed the back of his feet to the ground to the extreme and charged forward.

-Swush

-Slash

-boom

-Gwarhhhh!

-Wrahhhh!

Only the flashing spears and Ashoka's afterimages were seen in the fight, as all that was heard except that was the screams of the troll and the crazy laugh of the young man.

The knights escorting Ashoka caught up there by the time the fight was over and all froze at the sight before them.

"What that….!"

A fifteen-year-old kid holding his sword and resting his chin on the hilt of it while sitting on the mountain of troll corpses!

Ashoka's blood-covered face along with the crazy smile on his face sent chills over their spine.

"A Monster!"

That's all they could say.
