Mark kept staring at the troll's corpse for a few more seconds.
'This whole thing gives me a very bad feeling,' he thought, getting to his feet.
"Yuki," Mark said through the mental link. "Go ahead and investigate where this troll came from, I want to know what's up ahead before we keep moving."
"Understood, Master."
Then Mark turned toward Ely and Aria.
"What do you two think?" Mark asked, nodding toward the corpse. "What do you think happened to it?"
"Honestly, Master, I have no idea," Ely said, looking at the troll lying on the ground. "I've never seen a wound like that before."
Aria for her part simply shrugged.
"Does it even matter?" she said in a carefree tone. "After all it's just a troll, war trolls are nothing but stupid creatures that spend all their time fighting each other for fun. One of their own probably ripped its arm off and it just couldn't regenerate it."
Mark looked at her for a second and then looked at the corpse again.
