Leo barked energetically, and then she immediately started running towards the trolls.
They still hadn’t noticed us… From here, I could see that there were…seven.
And Leo charged right into their center. And with a speed that my eyes could barely follow, she slashed with her front paws, and tore through them with her sharp fangs. In the blink of an eye, four of them turned into clumps of flesh.
“Gyu-gyu?”
“Gyuowaaa!”
“Gyuuuu!”
“Grau!”
The remaining trolls finally understood what was happening, and they frantically began to swing their clubs. However, their movement was considerably slower than Leo.
Humans would have screamed in terror when facing the attacks of the trolls, but Leo just dodged them with ease.
“Gyuwaaa!”
“Gyu!”
“Gyuwa!”
She avoided their clubs and then lashed out with her claws once again.
The trolls were completely at her mercy, and could do nothing as she shredded through them.
…Leo seemed faster now than she was against the orc… Back then, I could at least follow her.
So this was what she was like when she went all out… This was why people feared Silver Fenrirs.
Well, Leo wouldn’t attack people.
“Wuff.”
“Good work, Leo.”
“Wuff-wuff.”
I patted Leo on the head and thanked her after she returned.
Leo wagged her tail happily and looked quite smug… She was proud at having been able to defeat them so quickly.
It was barely even a minute.
“Still, you made quite a mess.”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff.”
I muttered as I looked at the remains of the decapitated trolls.
Because we can’t eat them… Leo seemed to say.
She had only split the orcs in two, because they were edible…
But she was much more thorough with the trolls, as they could not be eaten.
“…Defeating them is good, but…what now?”
“Wuff?”
I thought as I looked at the clumps of troll flesh.
Not only that, but there was blood all over the place.
I would have probably felt ill, if I had any less resistance to seeing such things.
While I didn’t like horror movies, I was still fine…perhaps I had gotten used to it after seeing the orcs being defeated.
Well, it wasn’t that it had no effect and that I was completely unmoved….
It was still quite disgusting…
“We can’t just leave them here to rot…perhaps we should burn them?”
“Wuff?”
My turn again? Leo seemed to say as she opened her mouth.
The trolls were big. And so even if they were cut into smaller pieces…there was still a lot.
And since we were close to the forest, I was scared about the fire spreading.
“…No, that’s too dangerous… An amateur shouldn’t start burning corpses in a place like this.”
“Wuff…”
Leo looked quite disappointed, as she had wanted to use magic.
Still, what should we do with the trolls then…
If I left them to rot here, it could result in further spreading of diseases.
And the troll meat might attract other monsters as well.
