"Are you sure this is the right way?" Tina quizs sceptically.

"Be quiet. I am tracing the trolls' residual mental energy as taught by Lady Hamadryad. 

Anxiety could be felt from Hiro's voice.

"I keep calling them but both of them are still unconscious. If I am only as good as Hanabi, I should be able to wake them up." The uneasy elven girl is trying her best.

The rest if the girls are obviously in cold sweat. Not only they are distraught about the fate of their missing pole sisters, furthermore, the spine tingling surrounding are making them on edge. 

Although there are trees along their path as before, the sky is unseen. Using my translucent dashboard, I know the exact time in this world. It shouldn't be dark yet. Even if it is night, there should be stars in the sky. What unnerves them is the pitch black environment as if they are walking in a tunnel.

Suddenly, Selene halts.

"Wait!"

There seems to be a movement in their track. They focus their sight and see a creepy monster. It is a bald head without brows and facial hair. It has a big nose and small mouth with disgustingly cute eyes. It has no torso, no belly, no crotch and no thigh. The head is connected to short legs. Its ears are like the troll's ears. 

Realizing their presence, it doesn't freak out but instead turns away and steps quickly. They could see a buttock at the back of that head. 

"It...is that a face and an ass?" Tina cannot hide her confusion. Others are overcome by sinister feelings.

"The trolls' lair should be further ahead." Selene summons her courage and walks. Others follow her.

"This is becoming creepier." Tina laments.

"I will try to use the telepathy magic Hanabi taught me, to call those two." Selene slows down and activate her spell.

The splashing sounds of something moving on water brings her bqck from the deep of her sleep. Farnese starts to wriggle and slightly stretch on the damp and frigid surface. As parts of her body are gradually turning on, she remembers the accident she had before fainting. 

"Oh, Suzy."

Feeling dreaded, she turns left and right. She immediately soothes as  Suzy is sleeping next to her.

She shakes Suzy's shoulder.

"Suzy! Suzy! Wake up!"

Suzy opens her eyes and lazily rises. 

"Where are we? Why is it so dark? Hm. Wet ground?"

"Suzy. Farnese. Hear me out."

Without the chance to really scrutinize their surroundings, Selene's voice plays in their minds. 

"Selene?" 

"Elven girl!"

"I am communicating through telepathic magic. Are you fine?"

"Yes. But where are we? The air is so stagnant."

Before Selene could explain, suddenly something surges out of the water in front of them. It is a long but very thin...neck. It is rotating as if searching for something. At the top of that thin long neck, there is an eye. 

Their eyes meet. Suzy and Farnese's eyes go wide. 

"Don't scream!" Selene yells in their three way communication.

Selene could feel their erratic heartbeat.

"You two. Don't do anything. We are on our way."

"You can say that but, these..."

"Farnese, climb..climb!" Suzy urges her in a hushed voice while climbing the narrow slope. The blonde haired girl follows her upward.

When they reach the upper ground, they quickly roll further away but the long neck creature also climbs up the slope. 

It bizarrely possesses four digitigrade legs. Between the long neck and the animal legs, there is a human torso. Two legs connected to its chest and two legs connected to the navel. 

Farnese instinctively summons her liberator automatic shotgun and points at the eye on the long neck.

As if scared of the summoned shotgun, the sinister monster steps away into the water.

The two girls are hugging each other.

"What happened?"

"We moved to a safe spot." Suzy answers. Her manner is artificially bright but brittle. 

"Yaaaaa!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice echoes from nearby.

They sneakily crawls to the origin of the scream until the reach a corner of the damp wall. They peek from the wall.

The space beyond them is ill-lit but they could easily identify who are before their eyes.

There are over a dozen of trolls. The trolls are standing and swinging their hips. 

Both girls can't believe their eyes as each of the troll's crotch is connected to a fair skinned derriere. Beneath the connected parts, slender legs bend and rest on the ground. The bodies have mounds on the chests and the mounds rest on the ground. Those are human female bodies. 

They could hear weak moan, groan and whimper from the women.

Suzy and Farnese are no longer virgin. They are not innocent maidens who don't understand the event unfolding before their eyes.

The trolls are raping the villagers abducted from Enoch village a day ago.

When Farnese is about to scream, Susy immediately covers Farnese's mouth with her palm.

Selene who has experienced sex also understands. She quickly tells them,

"Calm down. Stay where you are. Don't attract their attention!"

A troll walks while holding a woman's leg. It pulls it along the ground and throws her into the water near the two girls. 

After it walks away, the two girls look at the thrown body. Creatures swimming in the water bite the corpse. 

"Help me."

They turn to the other side. A naked woman is crawling weakly towards them.

"Please help me."

Tears flow from her eyes. When she nearly reaches them, suddenly she rolls to the side. She draws her legs up until her knees touch her chest. 

"Arggg!" She is writhing and squirming left and right.

"It hurts."

They approach the agonizing woman cautiously. 

"Oh, no. It's moving inside. Argggg!!" 

Finally, she screams and lies facing upward.

Her navel area is shaping weirdly as if something is pushing from inside her belly.

Suzy's instinct makes her pull Farnese away from the woman. 

Then, the woman's belly bursts. 

Several baby trolls come out of the woman's hole. 

That answers the origin of the trolls.

"Kyaaaa!" Farnese uncontrollably squeals. 

"Oh, no." Suzy pulls her away.

The trolls stop their carnal pleasure and chase after the two girls.

The two girls crawl as fast as they can but they meet the dead end. Their backs are pushed against the damp wall. Weaponless, they are petrified between the wall and the trolls.

A troll tries to touch Farnese's legs but she shoots it with her shotgun.

"Pom!"

Another troll that touches Suzy is also shot. 

The trolls retreat but are still waiting in a line in front of the two girls. 

Their fate is left hanging by the balance. What separates them from the cruel fate of the raped women is the summoned shotgun in Farnese's hands.

Suddenly, Farnese is reminiscing about her past life in the Vandimion castle. 

"I just want to crouch and curl into a ball." Her heart shouts.

She is brought to reality when Suzy's large breasts push against her back.

"But her warmth on my back will not permit that!"  Her heart shouts bravely.

"Pom!"

A troll is shot.

"Pom!" Another troll's head burst open. 

Farnese slips on the slippery ground and her buttock falls on the ground. 

A troll holds her hands.

"Let her go, you shitty.."

Suzy tries to kick it but she also stumbles. Two trolls hold her.

"Nooooo!"

A large rock crashes against the head ofbthe troll that holds Farnese.

"Sorry for making you wait." Hiro arrives on time. He was the one who hurls the rock. 

Tina whizzes past the trolls and cuts the trolls that are holding Suzy.

The trolls turn their sight towards the newcomers. 

Lyla steps forward while pulling her longsword along the ground.

Sensing a fresh female body, the trolls are aroused by Lyla, not aware that this delicate girl is an angel that brings death with her.
