Chapter 1657: Section 1658: Trom’s Predicament

Trom’s engagement with the Ocean Troll didn’t go as smoothly as he had anticipated.

Although the Ocean Troll was slightly slower in attack speed, its anticipation of attack trajectories was almost comparable to Mind Reading Technique. Trom often found that the Ocean Troll could almost guess his intentions, even if he was launching a surprise attack, the Ocean Troll would react immediately, making Trom feel restricted.

Moreover, each counterattack of the Ocean Troll was nearly at the Wizard Level in energy. Every hit Trom took could cost him half his life. Therefore, Trom had to expend more physical strength to evade the Ocean Troll’s assaults.

Before discovering the Ocean Troll’s weakness, Trom was trapped in this vicious cycle.

He thought he was “dragging it out,” but it felt more like being “cornered” by the Ocean Troll in an unsolvable loop. As time passed, Trom’s physical strength waned, and the scale of victory inclined more towards the Ocean Troll.

Trom was aware of it, but his attacks were ineffective against the Ocean Troll, and without finding a weakness, he became extremely anxious.

Anxiety leads to mistakes.

Just like now, Trom’s anxiety caused him to slightly enlarge his evasive trajectory, and the Ocean Troll immediately captured this opening. The Ocean Troll swung its Trident, predicting Trom’s movement and thrust it down fiercely.
