"What could Kate possibly want from this dungeon? Other than the giant goblin from the first floor which had a mana core, the rest of the monsters here are trash.


    Could I be right about there being a treasure down here."


    ke had thought that by now he would already have an inkling of Kate''s intentions, but it seemed like till they reached thest floor, that would not be happening.


    Thankfully Noel knew when to end his praises and after thanking ke one more time he returned to Y''s side and the group continued advancing.


    ke''s side of the canyon spanned into a region filled with multiple rocks which had been eroded into looking like castles or pirs.


    Sticking close to the long rock that divided the canyon in two, the group was able to both easily navigate their path and most importantly reduce the areas from which they could be ambushed.


    About 30 minutes went by before out of nowhere a tall long mountain wall that signified the end of the dungeon floor became visible and after walking some more minutes, the group saw a waterfall in the distance.


    "The split canyons don''t reconnect even at the end of the floor" Y anxiously said peering to the left to see if she could see any opening in the dividing wall.


    "The entrance into the next floor should be behind that waterfall" Noel had just said stepping close to the pool of water that the waterfall poured into when ke suddenly arrived by his side, and grabbing onto the cors of his shirt pulled both him and Y who were side by side into the air as he jumped backwards.


    Y and Noel were at first confused about what was happening, but then a shadow suddenly appeared above them and before they could even look up at that shadow, a powerful wind followed by the sound of something big and heavy went past them and crashed into the pool of water with a small quake.


    "Those are quite some legs" ke muttered asnded on the ground, Noel able to adjust mid-air andnd on his legs while Y crashed to the ground falling on her bum.


    With haste though, Y was quick to get on her feet and join ke and Noel in staring at their opponent, a loud gulp leaving her throat as she stared at the menacing threat before them.


    "A troll" ke casually muttered and his words couldn''t hello but have the two people beside him throwing him looks like he was being disrespectful to the creature before them.


    With its imposing 8 feet muscr build covered in greenish blue skin, eyes a bit darker than normal and his two tusk like teeth that protruded from his lower jaw, the troll before them looked very strong and Noel and Y could not help but take a step backwards, leaving ke at the front.


    The troll possessed a big bitcher knife that had a long handle and lifting up the weapon which it had smashed in Noel''s previous position, it swung its long matted hair from side to side and thenughed in a thick tone.


    "Grommash," the troll said heavily, looking at all three opponents in front of him before finally settling his gaze on ke who was looking at him with his hands in his pocket.


    "What did he say" ke asked, this time putting up no pretense of being knowledgeable.


    "Strong Trolls call out their names just before they fight a worthy opponent, I believe Grommash is his name," Noel said and ke nodded his head to this.


    "So, can they only speak their names or can they also converse" ke asked but before anyone could reply him, he got his answer straight from the source.


    "Fearless humans will die" Grommash as he had called himself said in a near roar.


    "Should such an intelligent monster be in a dungeon this low level?" ke asked.


    "No, it shouldn''t not by a long shot" Noels said with a little quake in his voice.


    "Take Y and retreat now" ke said and as he did so, he had both his handsing out of his pocket and his legs moving taking him closer to the troll which with a thunderous roar had just shot towards him.


    His de appearing in his hand, ke''s sword and the troll''s giant knife shed, a powerful ng ringing out and ke despite putting in all his strength having to take a step back.


    "Not surprising" ke thought as he was pushed back and he was just about to pull back his sword and make a swing at the troll''s side when it with fluidity exacted that attack on him.


    With haste, ke turned his hand and swung his de from below blocking the troll''s attack, but this position was very unfavourable for ke, not allowing him to output his maximum power and as a consequence, he was sent flying to the side.


    [Fear Aura]


    As ke''s body lost bnce and fell on the ground, getting into a roll, centering his mind, ke unleashed as much fear as he could on Grommash, his actions freezing it in ce.


    Making a final roll, ke stood up to his feet and with his expression tight, shot towards the paralysed troll, his sword covered in intense mes as he was a few steps from it, but then there was a sudden st of mana from Grommash, the troll regaining its mobility and with a roar stampeding towards ke.


    "A first-order troll," ke thought in shock.


    Being quick to suppress his surprise and remain unintimidated by Grommash''s feat of breaking out his fear aura, ke continued in his charge and with his words raging with hot mes, he shed his de with the angry Grommash, surprise shing in his face as the troll''s huge knife actually stopped his de, glowing with a kind of ck shine.


    "There is nothing normal about you huh" ke said in his mind with annoyance as he with all his strength, made a turn to the left, pushing Grommash''s knife to the right, and then he shed at the monster''s hand.


    "Thwack"
