Demon (2)
“Now, what shall we do?”
town hall building.
The place where we stayed for several days was pretty neatly decorated with some ornaments brought by our team.
Everyone was good with their dexterity, so they cut wood to make statues, etc., so it became a good building, but now the atmosphere there was dark and gloomy.
At the center of that, of course, was me, the team leader.
“Go back. We have already far surpassed our original goal.”
“I agree. This is the level where you have to inform the imperial family and start a full-scale subjugation. It’s not at a level that academy students like us can do.”
To my question, Marlon Haster and Estelle Bantam wanted to go back.
A huge fortress nestled in the heart of the forest and hundreds of goblins filling it.
Although he had already caught more than a hundred goblins while wandering around, the fact that there were far more goblins left was not enough, so the word retreat came to mind when thinking of the powerful monster at the center of it.
“What about Natasha and Bella?”
However, our team was not made up of Marlon Haster and Estelle Bantam, but Natasha and Bella as well, so we asked their opinions.
Both answers were the same.
“I’ll do whatever Heize wants.”
“I’m going too.”
“… … Then our opinions are useless!”
“Yeah, that’s unfair.”
“If you don’t like it, should I choose Dalian?”
“No, looking back, I think it’s fair.”
Estelle Bantam quickly changed her attitude at Natasha’s naive face to decide to fight.
It’s because she realized that Natasha’s strength, which she had seen while hunting goblins over the past few days, was not at the level she could handle now.
Seeing Estelle Bantam like that, I smiled lightly and shared my thoughts lightly.
“I think I have to deal with it. To be honest, how long do you think it will take until we go back and report it and the subjugation army is formed?”
“I’m going back in a few days. A few days to inform. A few days to get organized and depart. After all, it will take three weeks this week.”
“That’s right.”
Marlon Haster’s calculations were very accurate.
days, days, days.
Even if you take them roughly three days each, it’s nine days, and considering that the world doesn’t run that fast, it’ll be three weeks at the earliest.
“Then what do you think is going to happen here? The number of goblins, which was only 100, has multiplied several times, and the original boss, the hop goblin, is being driven out of a monster that rules over there?”
“… … mole-“
“I will definitely invade the village. Short or fast, at least in a week.”
“… … .”
I cut off the words of Estelle Bantam, who was trying to retort that I did not know, and vomit my thoughts.
Perhaps she knew too.
I just wanted to deny it.
But denying the reality was not so good.
“This town is not big, but it is not small either. Hundreds of people live, dozens of people work for a living, dozens of soldiers guard the village, and dozens of children rejoice in peace on the streets. If they are swept away by the goblins… … What will happen?”
“aah! So what are we going to do! They aren’t even normal though. Isn’t that a monster?”
Eventually, Estelle Bantam, with both hands and feet, screamed with seizures and asked how to do it.
The goblins I saw in the fortress had a slightly different appearance from the normal goblins.
But that didn’t mean they were monsters.
“It’s not like it’s a monster, it must have been influenced by it.”
“… … It means there are monsters.”
“You must be prepared. Fortunately, it is a goblin monster.”
“ha… … You came here to catch goblins, but they’re goblin monsters… … .”
It’s only natural that the stronger a monster accepts magic and becomes a monster, the more terrifying it becomes.
Fortunately, it was a goblin monster.
If they were only trolls, no, orc monsters, they wouldn’t have been able to even imagine a battle.
I opened my mouth as I watched Marlon Haster comforting her with a hand on her shoulder, looking sadly at Estelle Bantum tearing her hair out.
“Tomorrow morning. Let’s attack them.”
“… … Right away?”
“Would it be too fast?”
tomorrow morning.
In other words, Natasha and Bella, who agreed with me at the time of midnight over 12 o’clock, to attack the Goblin Citadel, couldn’t hide their surprise, but it didn’t matter.
“As time goes on, the magi will grow stronger, the goblins will become stronger, and the number of goblins will increase rapidly. In that case, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.”
“… … If it’s Heize-“
“Do you have any objections?”
“… … If it’s dangerous, will you fall?”
“That is quite normal.”
When he nodded to Estelle Bantam’s worried question, Estelle Bantam had no choice but to nod.
After Estelle Bantam nodded and everyone else nodded, I stood up.
“Get some rest. There will be a tough forced march this morning.”
“… … yes.”
The plan was prepared, and all that was left was to implement it.
As we waited for the dark night to follow, we headed to our respective rooms.
And it didn’t take long for only the sound of breathing to resonate.
* * *
dark night.
The night that swallowed even the moon.
At the same time that everyone was asleep, a group of people was moving in the village.
Kick-
A group of five raced through the village, hiding in the darkness of the night.
Their appearance was so secretive and quick that a soldier could not find out.
The place they ran without being caught in the eyes of others was none other than the center of the forest and the mountains adjacent to the mysterious forest.
“Are you all ready?”
“yes.”
“I’m ready.”
“ha… … .”
“I will protect you.”
Everyone finished their own answers to Heize’s words, who were at the forefront of it, and they ran towards the Goblin’s fortress in the distance.
* * *
“Bella, Natasha.”
“yes.”
“Please speak.”
“A large one, please.”
“Okay!”
“I know.”
As the fortress seen in the distance drew closer, Heize immediately gave orders to the two wizards.
one big room.
A magician was originally a way to show off his strength when he wasn’t noticed by others.
And an excellent wizard when he has an advantage.
How to make full use of that advantage.
Natasha and Bella were enough to be called excellent wizards.
“Fireball.”
“Fireball.”
The size of a regular fireball doubles again as the larger fireballs merge in mid-air.
A gigantic fireball, now almost like a miniature Meteor, rises above the Goblin Citadel.
– Kek?
-Keek!
With the voices of bewilderment from the goblin guards who were guarding the outside from above the fortress.
Aww!
A huge fireball, no different from a miniature Meteor, fell on the main gate of the fortress.
Listening to the bewildered cries of the ruined gates and the bewildered goblins with a huge explosion, Heize pointed forward with a blank expression on her face.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
And as soon as the words were finished, the five seals disappeared in an instant, as if seeping through the broken gates.
* * *
Aww!
-… … what?
The goblin Lord, who was seated in the deepest part of the fortress, frowned at the loud noises from outside and stood up.
The moment he looked outside with an annoyed expression on his face, who had just fallen asleep, his face was dyed with joy.
– You’re finally here!
The being the Almighty spoke of.
The goblin Lord Gestal checked and installed the equipment with a smile on his face, as it was clear that the human he had said would come to him for testing had finally entered his realm.
After completing his armament in an instant, he flew to the battlefield in full swing in the shape of a strong fortress.
“Fufu, are your words true?”
And on top of the gorgeous wooden mansion, a girl with impressive dark hair looked at it with a smile on her face.
* * *
“I go straight to the boss!”
“yes!”
Natasha, who drew her sword, nodded at Heize’s cry, who dug through the bewildered goblins, and slashed over the goblins that rushed to her.
There were many goblins who were confused by the explosion, but there were also quite a few goblins who came to their senses and set out to repel the intruder, so the two opened the way in a cold sweat.
Bella was with Marlon Haster and Estelle Bantam, so the vanguard was only Heize and Natasha.
No matter how good the two of them are, it is inevitably difficult to break through in the middle of the enemy line.
‘I cherish the beginning of the year.’
Even in such circumstances, Heize loved the beginning of the year.
Heize, who is advancing by conserving not only the capsule tobacco, but also the tobacco as much as possible, conserving resources as much as possible, felt something and shouted harshly.
“Open!”
“… … Open!”
As soon as the words were finished, they scattered around and cut the goblins around them, or the team members who had been burned were scattered and a huge shadow fell over Heize.
woo woo woo!
Something huge fell from the sky.
Although it has green skin, it is as large as an adult male or bigger than that.
“… … Goblin Road.”
– You are the man he was talking about. Black hair and black eyes. That’s correct.
Heize swallowed dry saliva and looked around as he nodded to himself while muttering incomprehensible words.
With the appearance of the Goblin Lord, the confusion of the surrounding goblins quickly subsided and their morale skyrocketed.
‘That’s bad.’
We tried to deal with as many goblins as possible before the goblin lord appeared, but that was in vain.
-Human, you must fight me and prove your qualifications.
“Qualification? What qualification are you talking about?”
– You don’t need to know until there!
bang!
As the new type of goblin rod that was crushed without a proper explanation was fired like a cannonball, Heize’s impression was distorted, and he raised both arms as it was and blocked the goblin rod.
Kudang Tang!
When Heize, who had relieved the shock by rolling the floor like crazy, became covered with dirt.
-die!
The goblin lord, who boasted of incredible power commensurate with his gigantic size, at a speed that did not fit his gigantic size, pulled out his weapon and tried to smash Heize.
Heize felt that the gigantic weapon flying towards him seemed slow, and he sensed that it was no longer the time to spare and do something.
The thought was brief, but the action immediately after drawing a conclusion was quick.
pong
The lid of the lighter opens, and hot flames heat up the tip of the capsule tobacco that Heize put in his mouth.
Close!
And the moment when you crush the magic stone capsule embedded in the middle of the filter with your teeth.
Whoops!
Manacho’s smoke passes through the shattered manastone capsule and is sucked into Heize’s whole body, thereby amplifying Heize’s physical abilities.
The moment Manacho’s smoke circles around Heize’s body—
Kugugugu-
Goblin Lord’s weapon reached Heize’s nose.
However, Heize calmly clenched his fist and slapped the face of the weapon as it was.
bang!
With the sound of a bomb exploding, the blades of the smashed weapon flew in the air, and at the same time, Heize’s new model disappeared like the wind.
hunt.
It was a move worthy of it.
