What I'm looking right now is the stats of the probably boss monster of this dimension-dungeon, the [Troll King].

It's standing beside a beautiful fairly large crystal-blue lake, it's walking aimlessly and it's like the [Troll King] is guarding the lake.

And around the lake, there are countless monsters doing the same, ranging from <B> to <A> rank.

'Is there something in the lake?'

I asked myself then I turned my head to Levina.

"Are you sure that's the boss monster?"

I asked just to be sure.

-Yes, that monster suddenly appeared one day and took over some area I owned inside this dimension... That bastard is also stronger than me.

Levina said with a hint of hatred from her voice.

Me and the others are hiding behind a huge rock and observing the boss monster to plan things out.

With <Understanding>, I analyzed the anatomy of the [Troll King] to found some of its basic weakness.

"Its eyes and ears are easy to be damaged."

I said and pointed at the boss monster.

"The top of its head is also one of its weakness."

"Its back is rock-hard so don't attack it, aim for its fat stomach."

"Ah, and I think its core is in the middle of its chest."

I stated the information I got about the monster to the members of [Coldvale], I also told them its skill and stat.

They have their own appraiser so they checked too and turned out that all I said are correct, as a matter of fact, I gave them more. As appraisers needs to close to the things they're appraising to know more about it.

"You're amazing!"

"I don't know what skill youre using but I wish I have that too."

"Thanks for the information."

I was bombarded with praises and thanks from the others, which feels good for my ego.

[It's me that appraised it...]

The system said, I can imagine it grumbling.

'Shut up, it's my skill.'

With that, we planned on how to swiftly deal with the [Troll Kill].

It's decided that there will be 2 main groups, group A and group B.

Group A, Clifford will face the [Troll King] with Oscar.

Group B, the 2 male members, Ivan and Mark, and the 2 female members, Nerissa and Diana who are twins.

Ivan is <A> rank while Mark is <A+> rank.

Then Nerissa and Diana are both <B+> rank.

They will deal with the other creatures lurking around the lake so that Clifford and Oscar can focus on fighting the [Troll King].

While Alina will stay in the middle of the both groups so that she can go to any team and provide support anytime.

She also have a presence detecting skill that can be compared to Oscar's <High Sense>, so she can inform others if there are monsters attempting an ambush.

On the other hand, I'm gonna stay here hiding behind the rock with Levina.

They said Levina and I should watch their rear so we don't get sandwiched by monsters, but I know that It's just that I'm too weak to help them and they're leaving Levina with me so someone will protect me.

They just said it like that because they're being considerate to me so I don't feel guilty for not doing anything.

Somehow, I felt bitter knowing that, but I can't do anything as I will just be a hindrance if I forced myself to help.

I tried to find a way to help them, but I'm just way too weak right now. The best thing I can do is to not hinder them.

Also, they said that the informations I gave them is helpful enough for them and I already did plenty like cooking and other stuff.

"Okay, with our roles decided, let's start."

Clifford said to the others.

"Let's finish this and go home!"

"I can't wait to go back!"

Nerissa and Diana happily exclaimed.

"I'm going to play games all day when I got back home."

"I just want to see my dog."

Ivan and Mark respectively said.

"Let's go guildmaster."

"Will you give me a day off after this Sir Clifford?"

Alina and Oscar said as they readied themselves for battle too.

"Okay, in your position guys."

Clifford commanded with a serious tone, which made the others quickly moved to their designed position.

"Let's finish this as fast as possible!"

Bam-

Clifford shouted and dashed forward to the [Troll King].

"YEAH!!!"

BAM-!

The others replied with the same energy and also dashed forward, following Clifford.

"Woah..."

I can't help but admire their coordination.

But my admiration immediately disappeared when I heard Clifford's next words.

"I can't give you a day off Oscar, sorry."

[Alina's POV]

SLASH-!

-GUAAAAH!!!

As soon as we reached our destination, guildmaster immediately slashed down his dadao and injured the [Troll Kill] in its left arm.

Resulting the [Troll King] to let out a pained cry.

Slash-

Fwoosh-

Puk-

-KIEEK!

-AHHH!

Ivan is slashing the enemies with his daggers while Mark is sniping enemies that Ivan can't dodge or slice using his bow and arrows.

Pluck-

Splash-!

"<Minor Heal>!"

On the other hand, Nerissa is smashing enemies to death using her mace. While Diana is staying on the back of the group and effectively healing the injuries others recieved immediately.

'Their coordination is good.'

I thought as I thrust my spear to the side.

Phuck-

-KIIIEKK!

Then I pierced through a monster that is most likely using a camouflage skill in its chest, it let out a disgusting scream before it died.

After that, I slashed horizontally.

Slash-!

Then my spear's blade decapitated 2 heads of monsters, this time, the monsters couldn't even let out a sound and just died.

BOOM!

I heard a loud sound and turned my head on its direction.

Then I saw a big sharp pointed rock stabbed in the stomach of the [Troll King].

"Looks like they're gonna be done soon."

I muttered and smiled.

"!"

As soon as I felt relaxed, a shiver ran through my spine and my expression immediately crumbled.

I felt a strong presence moving in a fast pace.

My head immediately snapped in the direction where I can feel the presence.

It's coming from the lake!

SWAA-!

Before I can even give a warning to anyone.

A beautiful gigantic blue serpent erupted from the lake.

-SHAAA!

The serpent's mouth is open as if trying to eat something, then I saw its eyes looking at Diana.

The serpent is targeting Diana, the healer and the weakest on combat of our current members.

'Shit!'

When I realized that, without wasting any moment, I reflexively jumped in front of Diana to shield her from the serpent.

And when I looked at the serpent, its mouth is already near us and is trying to gulp us down in one big swoop!

'Ah, I'm gonna be swallowed.'

I unconsciously thought.

'I can't dodge!'

I couldn't detect the serpent's presence immediately before because it's underwater, and because of that, I'm gonna die with Diana.

'We're gonna die.'

I thought with a despairing expression.

I made a bad decision.

But then...

I felt Levina's presence, the electric spirit.

The serpent halted for a second and...

Fwoooosh–!

A figure passed by us in a terrifying speed.

It was like a lightning as electric particles are following its trails.

It's blur but I can see it.

The figure was Raven.

***

[Raven's POV]

(Before the serpent emerged.)

I can see everyone fighting from my location, I'm with Levina.

Clifford and Oscar are pushing back the [Troll King], not long they will be able to kill it.

With Clifford's barrage of attacks and Oscar's occasional but powerful offensive magics, the regeneration skill of the [Troll King] can't keep up to the damage its receiving.

On the other hand, the others are holding back the other hostile creatures, no, they're actually pushing them little by little.

But even after seeing these.

There's still uneasiness lingering in my mind.

Even when everything is going smoothly as planned, no, it's actually going better than planned, I can't help but still think that I missed something important.

-They're strong, even without that humans called Clifford and Oscar. If I'm alone, I will be defeated by them, I might not be able to kill even one of them.

Levina said beside me as she observes Ivan, Mark, Nerissa, and Diana fighting the other creatures.

"Huh?"

I immediately turned my head to Levina.

"What did you say?"

I asked.

-Haa... I can't win against them even with Clifford and Oscar is not participating.

Levina shrugged with an annoyed look.

-I'm still an <A+> rank after all. I can't fight multiple enemies that individually have almost the same strength as me and still be alive.

She added, trying to not appear weak.

But I didn't care about that right now as my face crumbled and my thoughts accelerated.

-Well, if it's one on one, then I'll with against everyone of them. Except Clifford, he might be weak against electricity but if he can dodge it, then I'll surely lose, I'm not good at close combat after al–

Before Levina even finished speaking, I got up with a frown and ran towards group B.

I reached the worst conclusion I can with the new informations I got from Levina.

-W-wha... Where are you going?!

Levina flew beside me and asked. She's bewildered at my actions

"That's not the boss monster."

I said looking at the [Troll King] that have a rock spear pierced in its stomach.

-Huh? What do you mean?

"That monster, and the other monsters, they're guarding the lake."

I said, then Levina frowned as if realizing something.

"At first I thought there's a treasure that they're guarding in the lake."

Then I furrowed my brows.

"But what if they're a guarding the boss monster instead of treasures?"

Levina thought for a moment then spoke.

-Then why did that monster attack me and not the boss monster itself? And why does the boss monster not showing itself in front of me?

She asked pointing at the [Troll King].

"It's easy, the boss monster is residing in the lake. What do you think the boss monster's attribute?"

I answered her question with a question.

But that's enough seeing Levina frown.

-Water...

She mumbled as she realized what I mean.

I nodded my head and watched Alina's every action.

The boss monster is most likely a water attribute monster, so it avoided Levina and sent the [Troll King] after Levina as it have a high regeneration skill so it can survive Levina's lightnings, the [Troll King] is also good at close quarter combat which Levina is bad at.

I frowned because if that's true then...

That means that the boss monster is intelligent.

'It might be just my imagination but it never hurt to be cautious.'

Also the 3 women in Clifford's group are supposed to die here, Levina said she can't kill them if they attacked her in group, so it's most likely that Levina wasn't the reason the women died.

The [Troll King] is being easily handled by Clifford and Oscar, so it's most likely that it's not the reason they died.

So there's a high possibility that there's something unexpected happened while Clifford and Oscar are fighting the [Troll King] in the novel.

And that unexpected thing is the eruption of real boss monster.

As I was thinking so.

Alina, who I'm observing for a while now flinched and looked at the part of the lake near Diana.

I didn't miss that moment.

'It's coming from there!'

I was observing Alina as she have a presence detecting skill so she will most likely notice first when something powerful is coming.

I didn't think that Oscar will notice immediately as he was focused on assisting Clifford.

I faced the direction where Alina looked.

I used <Electric Manipulation> to the electricity in my cells and make my thinking and movements faster.

'Electric is fast and strong!'

I thought as dense and violent electric particles erupted from my whole body.

The world seems to slowed down.

Whoosh-

2 majestic black wings grew on my back.

"Levina, when something appeared from the lake, make your presence known as much possible..and don't attack until I say so."

I commanded.

-I got it.

Levina replied seriously.

Activating <Calm Thinker> and <Insight>.

I pressed my feet on the ground.

"<Accelerate>, <Strengthen>"

I casted buffs to myself.

Then a katana appeared on my right hand.

I channeled mana to my lower body.

Crackle- Crackle-

The lectric particles around my legs all the way to my feet got more dense and violent.

Fwoo-

Soon, gusts of winds are covering my legs and feet too. I used my newly acquired wind attribute.

I looked straight ahead with calm eyes.

"<Strike everything that is in your way.>"

Crackle- crackle-

Electric sparks started appearing from my hand and soon covered the katana I'm holding.

I tensed every muscle in my body.

Then at that time, a gigantic blue serpent appeared with its mouth wide open and trying to swallow Diana.

I also saw Alina shielding Diana using her own body.

'So that's how they will die huh.'

The 3 female members are closed to each other's position, sooner they will all get swallowed by the serpent.

But...

Fwooo–

Along with strong gust of winds, Levina's strong and body chilling presence scattered throughout the area.

The serpent got startled when it felt the presence of something its specially avoiding, resulting for it to halt its movement.

BOOM!

SWOOSH-!

Not wasting that opportunity, I kicked the ground and flapped my wings once, propelling my body forward and leaving the ground I'm standing on earlier full of cracks.

Fwish–

I shot myself at a terrifying speed that I immediately passed by Alina and the others.

Not soon, I was in front of the serpent's mouth. Not that I mind as I purposely entered its wide opened mouth.

Phuk-

Then I thrust forward my katana and stabbed the inside upper jaw of the serpent.

"<Lightning Bolt>!"

I exclaimed.
