59 Chapter 58 (1/2)

Before he could enter the dungeon, Leon decided to ask some questions. He had no other choice but to solve the situation, but first, he had to know a few things.

”What do you know about the big trolls?” Leon asked.

”They are tough to kill...” Ren showed a pale face. ”Although they aren't as dangerous as a megalodon, they have the same regeneration speed. Since their bodies are smaller than megalodons, it looks like they are almost immortal with their regeneration speed.”

”If that is the case, how usually the people around here kill it?” Leon asked.

”They used weapons enchanted with fire,” Ren explained. ”The flames slow down their regeneration, but only to the point where a group of ten powerful survivors must fight for one hour before they obtain the chance to destroy their heads and hearts.”

”They don't get smaller when they regenerate?” Leon asked.

”No, their blood is like a high concentrated health potion,” Ren answered. ”That is why they don't lose weight. It is said that their blood can even regenerate lost limbs.”

That was quite impressive, even though Leon's body can recover from terrible wounds thanks to the recovery, he always wondered if he could regenerate a lost limb with that alone... now he knows that he can't.

”Isn't if fine? If the survivors here managed to kill the big trolls, they could do it again.” Leon looked quite relieved, knowing that he hadn't to enter a cave where monsters could regenerate so fast alone.

”... Only one team could defeat the bosses,” Ren sighed. ”And that team got wiped out this morning.”

Leon sighed too, even though he expected to face some hardships, he didn't expect that he would have to enter a nest of such creatures. Although he was fine killing megalodons, he was only fine doing that from a safe distance. He would never get close to their habitat because, in a battle on equal grounds, he would be utterly defeated.

”Tch... if only I could absorb the mana of this damn thing,” Leon said while looking at the slime core he was using to try to learn how to absorb mana.

It was a pain, but Leon would have to work hard with the cards in his hands. He still had no idea how to absorb mana from objects, so he had no other choice but to enter the dungeon and try to solve that problem alone.
