Chapter 279: Troll Overlord

At the center, the giant monster come out, it's body large as Alros expected. The towering figure of the Troll made the other monsters looked small, not to mention the aura it exude. He could see some of the Ogres already bowing towards the large monster.

Alros then turned his attention to the monster it self. Sitting twice as tall as the Ogre, the Troll was an impressive sight, with body that looked like it was sculpted from stone. It's dark beady eyes seemed to pierce others with just a glance, it eyes seemingly sharp.

He watched as the massive monster slowly walked around the center of the camp, before looking at the rest of the monsters. It made a grunt of what could be approval before walking back to the center, before plopping down, lying on its side, a growl escaping it.

Soon, horde of Goblins carried makeshift trays filled with foods, from cooked meat to fruits, and placed it in front of the gigantic monster.

The monster lazily opened it's mouth as it was fed by the Goblins, who were trembling as they did so.

'Why are they trembling?' was the thought that formed in his head. Soon, he found out the answer as one of the Goblins did not get out in time.

As the Goblin was pulled into the maw of the monster, it screamed in terror, yet neither the Troll or other Goblins did anything to stop the course of action.

It soon disappeared in the mouth of the Troll, it dying shriek silenced by the crunching of the monster.

'So that's why,' he lamely added. As the Troll eat, Alros could see a mark on its chest. At first, it was not so noticable, but as time went on, he could see it clearly.

'Oh, looks like it's a Troll Overlord,' he added.

Troll Overlord are essentially a more powerful variant of the regular Troll. However, the reason for it to be considered powerful is not because of it's strength, which is about the same, if not slightly stronger than regular Troll, but due to the fact they are way smarter, while also able to cast magic.

Troll Overlord can be differentiated from regular Troll by the mark on its chest, the only way to tell whether they are Troll Overlord or regular Troll.

However, it did make things more difficult for him.

'Regular Troll already at the middle of A-rank, if not at the lower end. But a Troll Overlord is at the higher end of A-rank.

My strength should be at the middle, if not lower of A-rank. So, I will not stand a chance against it,' he thought in frustration.

In the end, he had to do one thing he did not want to do, give up, for now at least.

As he was about to leave, a thought struck him.

'Since I am already here, maybe I should take a closer look,' he might not going to attack them, but knowing his opponent would be beneficial in the long run.

As he spend more time inside the camp, he began to realize that the Troll Overlord, while the leader, was not the one who commanded the other monsters.

Instead, it was left in the giant hands of the Ogres, who did most of the work. While Goblins and Orcs were left in the hands of their respective leader.

Only one sentence could describe the Troll Overlord's behavior.

"Hands-off leader," he muttered to himself before moving away from the gigantic monster. He had not been discovered so far and he want it to stay that way.

He soon make his way out of the camp. Since he will not be attacking the Fiend Camp, he did not bother counting their numbers as it likely change over time.

As the dark presence left, the Ogres let out a sigh of relief. They and the Goblin High Shamans were the only one who detected the presence of the being, though some of the other B-rank monsters like the Goblin Lord and Orc Warlord detect a presence.

While normally they would have attacked the intruder, their instinct told them they are no match for it, and the only result of the confrontation will be their demise.

So, when the being head towards their leader, the were ecstatic as he would likely dealt with the being. However, contrary to their expectation, their leader did not detect the being, or merely let it go for some reason. Or because of a whim. It's hard to tell with the Troll Overlord.

Since their leader did not do anything to the being, they decided to let it off, not wanting to be killed needlessly.

What the Ogres did not know is that the Troll Overlord did not detect the being, more focused on its food.

A large lizard-like monster stared at the being that just exited the Fiend Camp. While its mistress had ordered it to attack the being, it also told it to not antagonize the other inhabitants of the forest.

While a fight between them and the rest of the monsters in the forest will result in their victory, the forest will be destroyed, and the greedy human as they called themselves would be able to conquer and destroy the forest, with their mistress either being killed or captured.

Such outcome was not acceptable to it, one of the guardian of the Spirit Tree of Lunos Forest. So, it hold back, not planning to make anymore until the time call for it.

For now, if will lay low and observe the being, waiting for the right time to kill it.

Alros looked around. For some reason, he felt like he was being stared by something. As much as he wanted to ignore it, it might result in his life or death, so he tried to search for source of the stare.

When he did not find anything, the demon decided to seek shelter. While he could go to the system space to rest, the time inside the forest seem to improve his mana reserve as his body absorb it, mainly his horns.

He planned to see if it just a fluke or spending more time in Lunos Forest would be good for him. And if it is true, then the others can be let out as well.

"Hhmm, I should let those three out. Maybe having more people will give me more data," he muttered before sending a message to Laili, telling her to tell the three women he want them outside.
