Noctis easily cleared nine floors without much difficulty.
He noticed a few different Game Guardians at the opening of every stage.
He dared not do anything foolish in front of them, knowing full well that they can permanently eliminate a player from the game, or else tamper with the floors and make it harder for the players they disliked to clear stages.
He's now on the 10th floor of the Novice Stage and currently fighting with the mini-boss of the 10th stage, a human-sized troll wearing prehistoric clothes, and carrying a spiked mace.
He scanned the surroundings.
He's in a forest, with tall trees around him.
"Dragon Dance 14th Form"
He chanted, as he nimbly avoided yet another tree that the troll uprooted through magic, and sent flying like a spear towards his direction.
Tsk, this won't do. This troll isn't the dumb type that he always encountered while playing RPGs. So, this is the smart troll his brother and father discussed.
Noctis thought as he avoided a huge rock that came flying through the air and nearly hit him in the back.
This troll has to have some sort of weakness, he thought as he wracked his brain on what he remembered about Norse myths.
Then he remembered that he has in his weapons collection a pair of daggers with the symbol of a crucifix emblazoned on the handle, and enchanted with dragon-thunder.
Trolls are said to be angry with anything that is connected with Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church.
They are also said to be deeply fearful of the thunder element, as Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, hunted trolls whenever he saw or come across them, and smite them with his hammer Mjolnir, with thunder crackling in the sky.
He did a quick read on what's written in the system.
"Hybrid Forest Troll Variant
It is a shapeshifter and much smarter than the ordinary forest troll, and more dangerous.
It has the ability to channel powers from nature and understands human speech.
Its true form is only revealed when pushed to its limits.
It's weak to thunder, and items with the mark of Christianity in them."
Noctis avoided a falling log that nearly fell on his head.
"Is that all you got, human? What a boring opponent. "
The troll taunted him, then sent a swarm of angry hornets with their stingers at the ready, flying straight at Noctis.
However, Noctis came to the battle prepared.
He chanted a dragon fire spell.
"Ryūjin orochi yo, kono honō ni mahōwokakete suzumebachi no mure o yaki tsukuse."
translation: "Oh Orochi, the Dragon god, enchant this fire to burn the hornet swarm."
Black flame materialized in Noctis' right hand.
He flung the fire into the advancing hornets, burning them to a crisp.
A buzzing sound could be heard as the hornets flew frantically in the air before they dropped dead to the ground.
It left the troll shocked.
"What the fuck? How did you do it, you puny human?"
The troll asked, obviously shocked.
