"That's Meina's magic!"
The Elf Archer was slightly startled, a smile immediately gracing her lips.
"Since that's the case, let me make this fire burn even brighter."
"Fly, fly, graceful wind spirit, flap your wings and lend me your breeze, Wind Boost."
The Elf Archer's thin lips parted, emitting a celestial sound, like a song in the forest.
"Whoosh!"
Her light green hair gently swayed, and a gentle breeze blew, swirling the flames around the arrow, making them more intense and wrapping around the shaft.
It must be said that the Troll's physique was indeed formidable; the Sleep Cloud cast by the Witch, which could put a hundred Goblins into deep sleep, only made the Troll momentarily dazed, and it didn't even fall down.
It raised its huge palm and slapped its forehead hard, trying to clear its head.
"Roar… a fellow who only resorts to petty tricks."
"Indeed, compared to the fairies in the forest, humans are a more cunning and treacherous species. I should consult Demon God General and initiate a war against the human kingdoms first!"
The Troll's head buzzed from being slapped, and it shook its head, saying.
"You won't get that chance. Let's attack together."
The Sword Saintess let out a delicate cry, the Judgement Spear had already finished condensing, and with a swing of the balance sword staff, a pure white cross-star pierced fiercely towards the Troll.
"Whoosh—!"
The Elf Archer released her bowstring, and the flaming arrow shot towards the Troll's mouth, eyes, and throat.
"Please taste my fireball."
"Firestone, burst, throw!"
"Firestone, burst, throw!"
"Firestone, burst, throw!"
The Witch extended one hand forward, and clusters of fiery energy rolled and burned around her wooden staff, forming three fireballs as large as wagon wheels, which "whooshed" towards the Troll.
The Judgement Spear, the flaming arrow, and the fireballs cast by the Witch all struck the Troll.
Among them.
The Judgement Spear pierced through the Troll's body, carrying it flying away.
The flaming arrow and fireballs instantly ignited the Troll, turning it into a human-shaped torch, burning fiercely, with continuous shrill roars emanating from it, accompanied by the pungent smell of burning roasted meat.
"Did… did we… win…?"
The Elf Archer bent over, hands on her knees, resting while turning her head to look at the Troll, which had become a torch.
The Witch had continuously cast magic, expending a great deal of energy, and her ample chest constantly swayed with her panting.
Unlike the Elf Archer and the Witch, who suffered from physical and magical exhaustion, miracles required communication with the mysterious divine, which consumed an immense amount of mental energy.
The Sword Saintess, who had continuously cast miracles, looked exhausted, and her delicate body swayed before she collapsed backward.
"Whoosh!"
Naruto, who was originally standing on the second floor of the circular tower, used the Instantaneous Body Technique and appeared directly behind the Sword Saintess, supporting her in time.
"Naruto, did we defeat… the Troll?"
The Sword Saintess lifted her beautiful face, her sacred and benevolent voice becoming weak.
"Yes, we defeated it."
"However…"
Naruto's gaze fell upon the fallen Troll.
The flames on its body seemed to have weakened considerably, and what was originally motionless suddenly sat up, its body trembling violently, actually shaking off the flames burning on its surface.
Its body, scorched by the intense fire, was charred and carbonized on the surface, emitting heat, whether it was residual heat from the scorching or steam generated by its super-regeneration activating.
In short…
The Troll was not dead; it had come back to life.
"Hahahaha, I am immortal! I am a high-ranking officer under Demon God General! You cannot kill me; you will only make me stronger."
"You despicable humans, you despicable elves, you all shall die!!"
The Troll's increasingly furious roar reverberated ceaselessly through the empty cylindrical circular tower.
It grabbed a metal weapon from the ground and swung it horizontally, striking a nearby ruined boulder with a "thump" that shattered the rock, sending pieces of stone flying like sharp arrows, raining down on everyone.
"How is it not dead yet?"
"Could the rumors be true, that Trolls are immortal and cannot be killed at all?"
"It can fight large adventuring parties for a hundred days?!"
The Elf Archer, already exhausted and temporarily unable to draw her bow, now fell into despair.
This wave of large-scale rock attacks, if even a few hit her delicate body, she would be crippled if not dead.
Just then.
A strange yet familiar orange figure appeared again.
He formed hand seals, crouched down, and slammed his hand on the ground. The nature-transformed Earth Release Chakra within his body, like plant roots, furiously burrowed into the ground, vast and profound.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!!"
With a loud "rumble."
The entire cylindrical circular tower seemed to tremble a few times, and a solid, thick brown earth wall, like bamboo shoots after a rain, rose from the ground, continuously growing taller and larger, finally surpassing the second and third floors and stopping at the fourth floor of the circular tower.
The shattered rock attacks hit the Earth Flow Wall, not even making a ripple.
The Troll's gaze rose with the rising Earth Flow Wall, finally looking at Naruto standing at the top of the Earth Flow Wall, and for a moment, it was actually awestruck.
The three women behind the Earth Flow Wall were also in the same state.
The Elf Archer's surprise was natural.
When she first met Naruto at the Adventurers' Guild, she thought he was just an inexperienced young lad.
Perhaps he had some strength, having killed many Goblins to become a Silver-rank Adventurer, but he shouldn't be very strong, not much better than her, or even slightly inferior.
But now it seemed…
How could this guy be some snot-nosed brat?
Just pulling out a single leg hair would be "thicker" than her, alright!
The Sword Saintess and the Witch were also in a daze.
The two women had seen Naruto use Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet to clear out Goblins, but they hadn't seen Naruto use Water Dragon Bullet or Earth Flow Wall.
They remembered Naruto telling them that his profession was an assassin.
Now it was water, fire, and earth.
What about the assassin he mentioned?
A magic assassin!
An assassin proficient in various magic types, who directly confronts enemies?!
The wide circular tower plaza was thus divided by a massive earth wall that appeared out of nowhere, splitting the battlefield.
"Immortal? Then let me see the true worth of your immortality."
Naruto stood at the top of the Earth Flow Wall, looking down at the Troll below, his hands joined in a sword-finger gesture, forming a crisscross pattern, and making a Ram seal.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto's azure eyes widened slightly, and he let out a low shout.
"Poof—!"
"Poof poof poof poof poof poof…"
Chakra mist permeated the air, and one Naruto's Shadow Clone after another appeared on top of the Earth Flow Wall, standing in a neat row, shoulder to shoulder, united and imposing, looking extremely spectacular and full of deterrence.
The Troll instinctively took half a step back, raised its head, and looked at the many Narutos on the Earth Flow Wall, grumbling in a booming voice: "What… what if there are more people? No matter how many ants there are, they are still ants; they cannot bite a lion or a tiger to death!"
"Hey~!"
"Big guy~~"
Naruto's original body, standing at the center of the Earth Flow Wall, crouched down, placed one hand on his knee, and leaned his head forward, looking down at the Troll, a curious smile on his lips: "Do you want to look around again? We don't just have a few more people."
"What?"
The Troll looked around with uncertainty, its pupils suddenly constricting, and its eyes immediately trembled. Its fierce and hideous "ogre" face finally showed a hint of fear.
It saw…
The second, third, fourth, and fifth floors—the entire cylindrical circular tower was filled with round-faced youths wearing orange jackets and golden spiky hair.
