[Frost Troll Barbarians (Corrupted)]

Classification: Spirit Race, Ogre, Ice, Magical Beast, Corruption

Danger Level: S

Information: Aggressive and barbaric giants inhabiting the frozen regions of the Realm of Avalon, these distant cousins of Goblins have grown to immense sizes over eons and become increasingly hostile. They possess extraordinary physical strength, durability, and remarkable regenerative abilities, capable of regrowing lost limbs over time.

Though aligned with the Ice Element, they are not particularly adept at Ice Magic and rely primarily on brute physical force. However, some among them, such as Shamans or Druids, are smarter and have embraced the power of Ice or Dark Spirits, becoming more attuned to Nature and Magic. These individuals are the most dangerous, leading groups to ravage villages of their own kind or their cousins, including Goblins, Mountain Trolls, Red Oni, Gnomes, Fairies, or Brownies. Widely regarded as enemies, they are typically hunted and killed on sight.

Their ruthless, cold, and monstrous nature drives them to use their intelligence solely for destruction and preying on the weak. These particular Frost Trolls have had their malevolent traits amplified, willingly embracing the Darkness of a mysterious crystal, becoming Corrupted and growing even more formidable.

It is strongly advised not to confront them alone, as their power rivals that of Elite Warriors of other Spirit Races. Their superiors, such as Ice Troll Shamans or Ice Troll Druids, can easily surpass these power levels. When gathered in large numbers, they should only be engaged with equally large armies.

These evolved variants are unique, formed by otherworldly Corruption Energies that have enabled Ice Trolls absorbing sufficient dark power to mutate into Frost Troll Barbarians, a stronger and more dangerous version of the Ice Trolls. Larger, fiercer, and more powerful, their thickened skin can deflect most magic spells. They boast exceptional physical and magical resistance, immense vitality, nearly tireless bodies, and mastery of Cursed Ice Magic. The only recommended course of action upon encountering one is to flee immediately.

For comparison, normal Ice Trolls are already A+ Rank in Danger Level, and we could handle them in groups, but these creatures are on another level, three full ranks above the Ice Trolls.

I’d better handle them myself…

“Kajithe, can you provide support? The terrain will amplify your magic as much as possible!” I said.

“Nyaagh?! You plan to fight those big ones?! You crazy or something, nyagh?!” he asked angrily.

“Maybe I am a little crazy, sorry about that,” I giggled. “But this is what I have to do, and I can’t back down now.”

“Geez, you’re hopeless, nyaaaa…” he shrugged. “Fine! I’ll help! This is what Daddy Sardine wanted anyway, so I’d better do it!”

“Thanks!” I nodded. “Alright, let’s go, Irene! Gardenia! Ignis!”

I swiftly summoned Gardenia and Ignis to my side, their spiritual power coursing through me as Flames and Nature Elements merged. My Aura blazed with energy as I combined all my armors at once, encasing my body in a super-powered, full-body armor.

“GRUOOOHHHH!”

The larger, fiercer Frost Troll Barbarians roared furiously. All three swung massive black hammers toward me, smashing the ground in succession, shattering the ice, and sending snow flying everywhere.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

I unleashed magic first. Giant wooden spears erupted from the ground, vines with poisonous spikes pierced their legs and bound them tightly, swords of emerald crystallized nature energy rained down, attempting to impale them, beams and spheres of holy spiritual sunlight bombarded them, accompanied by larger fireballs, icicle spears, dragon claws made of dream flames, nature, ice, and more.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

This was a relentless magic bombardment! I wanted to determine if I needed to get serious or if they were still minor threats I could defeat easily by spamming spells.

However…

“GRRRHHH!”

They emerged from the cloud of smoke, bearing only slight scratches, minor bleeding wounds, or burned sides. Their bodies regenerated swiftly, and they glared at me with feral, furious eyes, gritting their sharp teeth tightly.

“RAAAAHHHH!”

The leader of the trio roared, leaping toward me. Giant hammers swung again, attempting to crush me. This time, I couldn’t dodge, raising my shield to block blows from behind, above, and in front.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Despite their relentless efforts, their attacks were ineffective. Although magic had little impact unless I used a super-powerful spell, which required time to conjure, my armor was incredibly resilient. My shield, combined with Irene and my Spiritual Soul Weapon, proved highly effective against them.

“I guess the description was right, you’re almost immune to magic, huh?” I mused. “That skin of yours is really tough. It could make some incredible equipment.”

“GRYYAAAAHHH!”

They didn’t take that well, roaring angrily as they pointed their hands at me. Shadows and red energies surged, spreading black and red ice around me, attempting to ensnare me in Cursed Ice. As the description noted, they were also skilled magicians, unlike normal Ice Trolls.

“Alright, let’s test your ability, my new Spiritual Soul Weapon!” I roared, striking the ground beneath their feet with my Hoe.

According to Khione, the power of Spiritual Arts depended on my Spirit Power level. With my vast reserves, not only was my Spirit Armor exceptionally durable, as demonstrated, but my Spiritual Soul Weapon and its ability should far exceed their typical capabilities.

“{Soil Shaping}!”

RUMBLE!

A single activation sufficed. The ground beneath the Frost Trolls trembled and rose, hurling all three giants into the air, their eyes widening in disbelief as they were flung into the skies.

The soil didn’t stop there, rushing upwards and hitting them with immense force, as if it had become a giant ocean wave.

BAAAM!

They flew down and smashed into the nearby tents, crushing them and even killing a few Ice Trolls too…

“GRRRR!”

They roared, standing up and running towards me, spreading Cursed Ice Magic around them as giant black and red ice crystals started growing everywhere constantly without letting me take a break, always trying to catch me and trap me within it.
