It’s also moving erratically, not running in a straight line, stumbling and tripping over its own feet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark stayed quiet for a moment, listening as the sound of the footsteps grew much louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then they saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From between the trees ahead on the road appeared an enormous figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troll was exactly as Yuki had described, grayish, thick skin covered in old scars, a head disproportionately small for its body, and wide brown eyes that were wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its right arm swung frantically as it ran, as if trying to maintain balance, and where its left arm should have been there was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a cauterized stump at the shoulder that still appeared to be smoldering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it, Mark was left completely bewildered, not by its appearance, but by the sound it was making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troll was crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fat tears streamed down its cheeks as it ran, and from its mouth came broken, clumsy words that were barely understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run...\" the troll babbled in a deep, coarse voice that broke with every syllable. \"Home destroyed... everyone dead...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its legs wobbled and it nearly fell, but it managed to recover its balance at the last moment and kept running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soft-skin terrifying...\" the troll continued between sobs. \"Burns... everything burns...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark stood watching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troll hadn’t seen them yet, as it was running directly toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes were unfocused, looking at the ground, completely lost in its own panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before Mark could say anything, Alice had already moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took three steps forward and bent her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body launched off the ground with a force that cracked the earth beneath her feet, rising vertically until she was exactly at the level of the troll’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troll looked up, noticing the shadow coming down on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had no time to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice’s fist connected directly with its face, and the impact was so powerful that the troll’s head simply exploded, fragmenting into pieces that flew in every direction along with a shower of dark blood that splattered the nearby trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then its body stood upright for a second before crashing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice landed beside it in a clean motion, then straightened up and looked at her right fist, which was now covered in dark blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook it a couple of times to get the remains off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good work, Alice,\" Mark said, walking toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Th-there’s no need to thank me, my lord,\" she said, looking slightly away while wiping her hand on her clothes a bit clumsily. \"It wasn’t anything complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark nodded and lowered his gaze to the troll’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the ground it took up almost the full width of the road, and the roots of the nearby trees disappeared under its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu, who had let go of Mark’s robe at some point, approached the corpse with slow steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crouched beside the body and examined it carefully, her ears moving slightly as she inspected something Mark couldn’t see from where he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is something wrong?\" Mark asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu didn’t answer right away, she was staring at the stump where the troll’s left arm should have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is very strange...\" she said finally without looking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zilu pointed at the cauterized stump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"War trolls can regenerate their limbs,\" Zilu explained. \"That’s one of the reasons they’re so dangerous, you can cut off an arm or a leg, but if you don’t kill them completely the limb grows back within hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark looked at the stump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this one didn’t regenerate,\" Zilu continued, frowning. \"The arm was cut off and the wound was cauterized in a way that prevented regeneration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can cauterizing a wound stop a troll from regenerating?\" Mark asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Normally no,\" Zilu replied, shaking her head. \"Normal fire isn’t enough to stop a war troll’s regeneration, their body simply regenerates the burned tissue along with the rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe this one just couldn’t regenerate,\" Rose chimed in as she walked over to them, shrugging. \"As far as I know, not all trolls have the same regenerative capabilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right about that,\" Zilu admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then that’s probably the case,\" Rose said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... even if that were so, the wound is very strange,\" Zilu insisted, looking at the stump again. \"Come closer and look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark crouched beside Zilu and looked at the stump up close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cauterized flesh of the stump wasn’t simply burned. It was still burning, not with visible flames, but with a heat that emanated from the wound constantly, making the edges of the charred flesh tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See?\" Zilu said, pointing at it. \"It’s still burning. Whatever did this to it, the fire didn’t go out, it’s still active inside the wound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What the hell happened to you?’ Mark thought, raising his eyes in the direction the troll had come from.\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-02T12:17:11.958Z",1,"novelbin.me","a3cdc280c3f809f427da2b588ff1a0bafa9f6857f4d6abfee670f5052999e400","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-133","my-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-chapter-131",190,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-harem-of-dangerous-and-crazy-women-as-a-reinc-cover.jpg"]
