Within a thought, the ice spikes impaling the ice trolls that run to him collapsed and turned into tinny shards of ice.

Several notifications of XP started to pop up, but Danzel ignored them as he stared at the other ice trolls.

"There are more of you, trolls here than I expected." Danzel said as he slowly walked with both of his swords toward them.

"Great."

Upon saying that, the ice trolls had already equipped themselves with their weapons and let out a battlecry as they run toward Danzel.

"Kill!"

"Break the walking bones!"

They yelled as they run, their steps shaking the ground like a stampede.

The speed they run was unnaturally fast, making it clear that at least every single of them was of the 2nd-tier with great physical attributes. Danzel could also recognize a few of 3rd-tier ice trolls too.

"It seems I will have to welcome them..." Danzel mumbled as he pushed his two swords at each other. Spreading the flames of the Overseer's sword to his other sword while a crimson light hovered for a moment around his sword.

A clear sign of the [Innate Blood Absorbtion] spells being cast on his sword.

Additionally casting [Swift Movements] on him, Danzel dashed forward at the closed ice troll in front of him.

The ice troll took the charge and then immediately had his hand that held an axe and his torso severed.

And it wasn't the only ice troll that was killed in almost an instant.

With Danzel's speed and strength, nothing could stop him from cutting the ice trolls' bodies like butter.

The ice trolls themselves were confused trying to locate him, but once they saw him, he run towards either them or someone else.

It was only after the 3rd-tier ice trolls stepped up that they managed to stop Danzel for a brief moment.

One of the ice trolls used his mana to perform a forced movement to speed up his action, resulting in his swing about to reach Danzel.

Nonetheless, even if the swing held tremendous force and was incredibly fast, Danzel was easily able to see it and react to it.

Using the Overseer's sword, Danzel blocked the axe coming above him. Resulting in all the force washing down upon him and pushing the snow around them.

Afterward, Danzel moved a step forward and swung at the ice troll's chest with his other swords, leaving a huge cut with seemingly eternal dark green flames, while also starting decay.

And thanks to his spell and runes, the amount of blood that he drew out of the ice trolls was enough to half a bucket.

And that was in an instant.

Though as Danzel wasn't too used to duel wielding, the way he blocked with his left hand was awkward which left the other 3rd-tier ice trolls enough chance to close up together with the others.

"Break him!"

The ice trolls of the 3rd-tier quickly enclosed around Danzel. Their large and barbaric weapons were swung down, left and right towards Danzel.

Though Danzel blocked with his sword their weapons with extreme ease while also delivering fatal wounds or right off killing the ice trolls.

Despite their tough bodies and regenerative powers, against Danzel's runes and abilities. Those things proved to be nothing.

Also, the advantage of having a larger frame than their enemies were greatly reduced, as Danzel wasn't that much shorter than them.

In human heights, it would be like a man of 1,86 meters fighting someone 2 meters tall. There was a difference of course, but not that big one.

And with the strength difference being so large, it was clear that their large bodies only made them a bigger target for his ominous blades.

Though the ice trolls didn't stop their attempt to kill Danzel.

The weaker ice trolls dashed with the mindset of overwhelming their opponent with their numbers and strong weapons. Just like they would do against many large beasts of the frozen lands.

Compared to the other ice trolls that Danzel met, those he was fighting still held their honor. Making them cloud their mind and unable to see the thread that they were walking towards.

Of course, Danzel needed only one swing to kill those ice trolls or incampitatied out of the fight.

Those that survived would eventually die by the flames anyway after all.

Despite Danzel's slaughter though.

Without him using any special skills and duel wielding, which he was most unfamiliar with, the numbers of the ice trolls eventually let off the strongest of the 3rd-tier ice trolls, and also the large to dash from behind him with a huge double axe raised.

"Be crashed!!!" The tallest ice troll said with saliva flying out of his mouth.

Danzel saw the attack and instead of blocking or dodging, once the double axe was about to hit his body, he achieved one of his skills.

In the next moment, the double axe cleaved through Danzel's body completely in half. And his inside was burning by the eternal flames of the Overseer's sword, which resulted in the blades of the double axe being engulfed with the dark green flames.

Before the ice troll could celebrate his victory over the being that killed many of them, he noticed the body of the being was replaced by a dark green mist with flames burning.

And suddenly, the dark green mist with flames dashed forward with enormous speed directly at the ice trolls' faces.

Resulting in the dark green flames pressing against the ice troll's face and engulfing him with them.

"Kayaaaghhh!!!" The ice troll screamed in pain.

Although the flames weren't capable of hurting his skin with how tough it was from being a 3rd-tier.

The flames still melted the ice troll's eyes and resulting in enormous pain traveling into his brain. It was even worse as his eyes were getting regenerating only to be burned.

Not only that, but the ice troll was unable to breathe with the flames covering his whole face.

Although the ice troll could withstand far-fierce flames and regenerate from fatal wounds, it was still a living being.

The pain of having his eyes melt in flames drove his mind into madness. Additionally, it was also a mortal being.

Like how witches died from the smoke first then the actual fire burning them at the stake, the ice troll was experiencing that at extreme levels.

Driven in madness, it recklessly swung his double axe, hitting other ice trolls at it.

As for the culprit of his suffering, the dark green mist with flames gathered together and reformed into the being that was Danzel.

"I can now somewhat imagine how that guy must have felt using his flames..." Danzel said as he turned around to be at his work.

'Though quite a fun ability, duel wielding is way too inconvenient. A shield and a sword are much better.' Danzel said as he started the Overseer's sword to its sheath.

"Now, let's end this." Danzel said with his cold voice as he dashed forward with his main sword in hand.

He first went to finish the pain-crazed ice troll, which was also the last of the 3rd-tiers.

Once he was killed and began slaughtering them with ease, a few of the ice trolls abandoned the idea of fighting him and decided to run.

Which of course had no success.

As Danzel was just too overwhelmingly powerful.

And in a way, he was going easy on all those guys. As he didn't have his shield equipped.

The last of the ice trolls swing desperately at Danzel with his axe, but Danzel simply raised his hand and caught the axe.

"For the likes of you, I don't even need my shield..." Danzel said as he pushed the axe away with his sheer hand before cutting the ice troll's throat with his sword.

The cut than was immediately frozen, checking the ice troll slowly to death with the tough ice on his throat.

Beforehand he put out the flames.

Although killing brought forth a to y satisfaction from his undead instincts.

Danzel wasn't keen on torturing someone.

Though he used the flames to burn the ice trolls, he did that to test the limits of the Overseer's sword abilities.

After all, having the abilities but knowing not how to use them was a huge waste and risk in a fight.

And although he liked his "ice sword" more as it was more powerful and frankly got too used to using it.

Wielding a fire sword was of the few things he always wanted to test around ever since being in the cave.

"Though a waste of blood, I don't t have the space to bring them with me," Danzel said as he stared at the corpses.

But before long, he notices another presence.

Gazing towards the certain presence, Danzel saw a girl that looked similar to the people of the Vashara people.

'Is she from the same race? She does look kinda different though'

Before he could say anything, lots of footsteps were to be heard from the ground.

And moments later, out of the mines came an ice troll guiding several other natives of those lands.

Seeing their state, Danzel could somewhat guess their situation.

'So even this place has slaves, huh?'
