Elarion was nervous and alarmed about the situation he was currently in so he held his sword up high in an aggressive style
The mountain troll just stared down at Elarion with a menacing glare
Elarion asked the person behind the system what to do in this current situation
"Hey, what am I supposed to do, I can't deal with a mountain troll alone!"
The system window gave an alert
"Survive for 5 minutes, I need time to send the basic skills you need"
Elarion became even more alarmed with the time yet tried to calm down
"5 minutes?! Wha- y'know what? Fine."
Elarion's tensed-up muscles went soft making the mountain troll find this as a sign of weakness
Then suddenly the mountain troll rushed and swiped at Elarion but he managed to Dodge it with a well-timed jump
Elarion once again tensed up and tightened his grip on the sword
"Shit, I let my guard down and almost died... How long has it been?.."
Then the troll tried to squash Elarion by hitting him using his palm, but Elarion once again dodged by moving to the side
"At this point, I can't beat it. I have no way of being able to deal significant damage to it. But I still have 4 minutes left."
The Elarion rushed and tried to slash at the monster in his eyes by climbing the troll's arm, but the troll shook its arms around making Elarion fall
The giant looked at Elarion on the ground still recovering from the fall and tried to hit him with his palm again
Elarion reacted and held his sword high making the sword's point pierce through the troll's palm
The troll roared in anger and pain. It quickly pulled back its hand and backed off
Yet just before the monster could pull its hand away Elarion pulled his sword out making blood bleed out the troll
Elarion got back up on his feet and rushed again at the troll
"2 minutes."
The troll tried to stomp on Elarion by stomping on the ground in random directions making it hard to predict where it would hit next
Once Elarion got close the troll tried to hit him by using his palms again but Elarion dodged and climbed up onto the troll again
Once Elarion got up to its neck he charged up his strike intending to at least cut the troll deep
But before Elarion could strike the beast it swatted him away like a fly into the cavern walls
As Elarion fell to the ground, the troll slowly pressed its palm on Elarion's body, intending to squish him.
Elarion took the troll off-guard by pulling out his sword and slashing the beast's vein, making the troll drop pull back its arm in urgency
"Too bad it's been 5 minutes."
The system once again alerted and gave an update
"New skills inherited, system upgrade activated. New mechanic Analysis obtained"
Name: Mountain Troll

Elarion looked curious and interested in the new ability
"This is pretty useful. It can help analyze monster's power levels, maybe even humans."
The system showed some of the new skills
Weapon Proficiency (A)
This skill can help you grow and nurture your natural talent for weapons, with your circumstances it may be able to grow further
The Blessing of Mana (SS)
This skill can increase your Mana capacity, spell power, and natural talent. In some circumstances, it can even help you gain skills
Increases the power and capacity by 20 points.
As Elarion read further, he became overjoyed, and he turned off the skill list for now, and his attention went back to the troll standing right in front of him.
He charged at the troll and saw some weird particles as if it was telling him to follow it, yet his instincts felt it was suspicious so he went in a straight direction but he got swatted away by the troll
"Shit. so that's the skill huh?..."
He quickly got up and charged back, he followed the particles closely and climbed up the troll's neck once again
Once again Elarion charged up his power and by intuition, he used Mana to make his strike more powerful and coated his blade in Mana
Then, in a swift strike, he took the troll's life in just one go.
The body of the monster fell down and Elarion took a while to get some well-deserved rest
While sitting against the wall resting the system alerted him
"Good job! I didn't expect you to win and just retreat, but great job, but I sense something. Cut open the troll I think there's a monster core hidden inside of it"
Elarion grunted and begrudgingly opened up the troll to indeed find a crystal-looking material
The system alerted him once again
"A monster core! Quick put it in the inventory!"
Elarion sighed heavily before speaking again
"Damn, you don't have to exaggerate that much"
Then Elarion used inventory and opened up the pocket dimension where he put the monster core in
"Speaking of which why do we even need a monster core?"
The system text once again changed
"Well, we're going to use it as a way to make a suitable environment for the monsters. The Mountain Troll Core can help us make mountain biomes; if you get a forest troll, then we can make a forest biome."
Elarion nodded whilst he digested the information revealed to him
"Alright interesting... Also, if we're going to make a tower, why does the amount of resources we need is minuscule?"
Then after Elarion asked the system responded once again
"Oh it's cause I already got the majority of it, you just need those cause I forgot to get some more"
Elarion once again nodded but asked for something
"Also can you get me an Axe and Pickaxe I need them for gathering resources"
The system stayed silent before an axe and pickaxe were thrown at Elarion unlike the last time he dodged it and picked it up from the ground
"You won't get me like last time."
