Chapter 125 It’s Not Your Fault

Chapter 125 It’s Not Your Fault

“So what?” Jenny crossed her arms and tilted her hips. “It’s your fault for spouting Hidden Boss this and that back in town. You’re practically saying to everyone to steal it.”
Isolde briefly gazed at Leonel while the latter grumbled.
This was his fault? Leonel didn’t expect that his goodwill would be reciprocated with evil intentions. He was too trusting, and he knew it.
In the future, he promised to be careful. It was alright if he was the one who was compromised because of his mistake. But if Isolde, Ren, and Roz were compromised because of his doing, he wouldn’t forgive himself.
“Sorry,” Leonel said at Isolde and Roz.
Isolde shook her head. “The one who didn’t do any wrong should never say those words. It’s those guys that took advantage of your kindness that should say sorry for making you feel that it’s your fault.”
The three shivered at Isolde’s piercing eyes when the latter stared at them. They didn’t know why, but it felt like they were under the gaze of a beast that were about to hunt them.
“Come on, let’s claim our loot and get out of here.” Ken took a moment before he realized that there was no loot. Nor was there a notification that said that they got firstblood against the hidden Boss.
“Huh?” Ken and his companions were confused before Li nudged the others and pointed his shaking finger at their front.
On where the white particles should be was the Ice Troll. It was still standing tall with its HP steadied at +1. Its mouth bubbled with its saliva while its menacing red eyes glowed even more like it would cry blood. It took a large intake of air before it roared so loud that it caused the snow on the mountain to fall while the ice on the lake cracked.
[The Ice Troll entered LAST STANCE MODE!
Acquired Skill:
� Cold Adaptability
–– As long as the environment is cold and snowing, the Ice Troll’s HP will recover 1% every second]
Leonel and the others immediately took refuge at the mountain’s base while avoiding the piles of snow raining from the mountain’s peak.
While Ken and his friends were shocked at the turn of events.
“What the fuck is last stance mode?!” Jenny screamed while Li pushed her to the side when the snow almost toppled the two of them into the lake.
“What is wrong with this Boss?!” Ken shouted when the Ice Troll locked its eyes on them before it roared towards the sky and came running after them, smashing and clawing everything in its path.
Since Li and Jenny were the last ones who hit the Ice Troll, they stole the Ice Troll’s aggro, and the beast went after them in a fury.
“Shit! Jenny cast fire quick!” Ken shouted when the Ice Troll appeared in front of Jenny and Li within a blink.
“Huh?” Jenny hadn’t recovered from being pushed on the snow, and she was still slumped on the ground. Her eyes were on Ken, confused and wide, before a single claw swipe erased her existence.
Jenny didn’t even know how she died when she burst into particles.
Li immediately got up from the ground and ran away when the Ice Troll’s eyes zeroed on him. He screamed for Ken to help him before he stumbled on his feet and fell face first on the snow.
Ken’s face twisted in horror when the Ice Troll raised its claws and was about to pierce it against Li’s back when right at that exact moment, Leonel came dashing forward with his hammer and swung it against the beast.
The Ice Troll was knocked back, and Leonel took this chance to shout at Roz and Isolde. “Roz, Isolde, now!”
At Leonel’s shout came in a blazing ball of fire and a piercing bullet that hit the Ice Troll from behind, dealing critical hits.
It wasn’t even fifteen seconds since the Ice Troll acquired its new skill so its HP was still low enough for it to perish in the hands of Roz and Isolde.
The Ice Troll let out another cry that quaked the ground before its blazing eyes dimmed and it burst into particles.
