ALL NOVEL Chapter 104: Gauging Orochimaru
Rudra took a party of seven members , Himself , Orochimaru , Karna , Medivh , Rhino , MonkeyKingEnma And Neatwit with him for levelling in the level 40-50 wild map , the village of Trolls.
Ever since the party set out on the Grey mounts. They were a talking point of everyone in the city , and throughout the journey , everyone turned to look at the party passing , untill they finally reached the levelling map.
The first few trolls were easy to kill , as everyone warmed up a little , the party composition was sort of balanced with one knight. One swordsman , one mage , one tank , and 2 assaulters.
Rudra was not sure about Orochimaru's class , however he knew the guy was a assualt type class as well , probably a barbarian .
Orochimaru was smart , he kept trying to suck up to Rudra and the party throughout the journey. Innocently asking about guild secrets like , ' woah , big brother Karna what a cool sword. Where'd you get it? '.
And ' Whats that on your wrist guild leader , a new accesory?'.
To everyone else who were unsuspecting of him. It all seemed like normal behaviour. But to Rudra all this just added to his suspicion of the guy.
The player was just to good , skill wise , definitely worthy of being an elite , he could easily take down normal level 40 trolls one on one. No problems.
Everyone slowly started to acknowledge the guy, his strength , and as to why Rudra recruited him. He was worthy of being here. After about 2 hours of grinding and killing around 75 trolls , about 10-11 each the party members finally levlled up .

The crew were not seriously injured or fatigued. Still Rudra decided to call for a short break , as the party camped in the wild , chatting merrily .
Orochimaru was busy again. Innocently asking prying questions in this time , and Rudra was again busy observing him , slowly getting more and more evidence to his line of thought. After the break the party again continued with the grinding , on Neatwit's constant complain of wasting time
For gods sake man , the guy was already level 47 now!
About 2 hours into the grind the party faced a big problem. They met with a roaming world boss , the Troll chieftain who instantly used a skill to summon 2 other mutated trolls.
Although this was a great opportunity to most players. To a party of just seven this was an extremely precarious position.
[ Petrified troll ] ( Elite )
level 40
HP 50,000/ 50,000
[Petrified Troll] (Chieftain)
Level 52
HP 8,200,00/8,200,00
Everyone on the team felt an immense pressure from the Petrified Trolls.
If the Trolls were merely Level 40 Lords, they could hold the monsters back. However, a Level 52 Lord was many times more powerful than a Level 40. On their team, only the MT could withstand an assault from one of these monsters. No one else could endure their attacks, much less pin them down.
These Level 52 petrified Lords possessed combat prowess of atleast 3 normal trolls of the same level These Petrified Trolls' Attributes also dwarfed theirs. The same held true for speed. In addition, Elite ranked monsters were generally resistant to Kiting techniques. If they could neither outrun nor control these monsters, just how were they supposed to fight against the Petrified Trolls?
Rudra's expression was just as serious as the rest of his team.
What rotten luck. It's even capable of summoning Petrified Trolls. The Troll Chieftain surprised Rudra.
Unlike ordinary Trolls, Petrified Trolls had Petrification Runes carved all over their bodies, which made their skin harder than even steel. They were also monstrously strong. They were famous for being difficult enemies. In the past, players that encountered these Petrified Trolls generally turned and fled.
The three Petrified Trolls didn't give True Elite's team much time to react. Without hesitation, they pounced on Rhino , who currently held back the Troll Chieftain.
"Why are they always targeting me?!" Glancing at the approaching Petrified Trolls, Rhino activated his Tier 1 class Special skill called the Last Stand, reducing all incoming damage by 50%, weakening any impact he received, and increasing his maximum HP by 40%. Instantly, his maximum HP rose to 29,530.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Three silver spears struck Rhino's Shield, one after another.
-6,717.
-6,809.
-6,784.
Following which, the Troll Chieftain brandished its massive red greatsword and slashed at Rhino.
Tier 1 Skill, Stormrage.
Quickly adjusting his footwork, Rhino lifted his shield just in time to block the attack coming from his side. Meanwhile, the distant Medivh quickly cast a Fireball on the another troll .
Boom!
When the Troll Chieftain's greatsword crashed into the Rhino's Shield, dazzling sparks flew as a loud boom resounded through the dead forest. Everyone felt the shockwave from the impact. As for Rhino , numerous deep cuts ripped apart the ground around him.
