I channeled all my power into my sword. As if delighted with the power of the ebb and flow of the tide, the sword shone white and sparked. Although the kobolds were nervous, they did not let go of their pickaxes and approached little by little.
I raised the boost level and walked towards the kobold in front.
“That, that… … ?!”
The kobold looked up blankly at me, as if not expecting that the enemy would just walk away normally. Then, in a hurry, I picked up my pickaxe and took a defensive stance, and I roughly slammed my sword down on it. Kaang, choked with my black pickaxe with a gasping sound-
“Kuene Ee is eh !!”
The kobold screamed at the throat and was electrocuted.
“nice… … Eh.”
The kobold radiated light all over its body for about 10 seconds before collapsing with black smoke spewing out from every hole. It smelled like grilled squid.
“Come on, you guys too. It bothers me to go.”
The kobolds around were staring blankly at this place, as if they didn’t know what had happened.
“That, that… … ?”
“Gag gag… … !!”
The kobolds exchanged uneasy glances with each other as if they were frightened by the fact that I burned my comrades.
“Kuaaa!!!”
“Ku, keuaaa!!!”
And soon, as if they had come to the conclusion that they would charge together, they ran desperately. I tightened my grip on the sword and focused my mind.
I cut both wrists of the kobold who jumped up with a pickaxe.
Right before the kobold cut his wrists and slammed his face on the floor, he neatly split the kobold who was about to swing his pickaxe from behind vertically.
Realizing that something had happened to the two comrades next to him, he decapitated the kobold that was slowly turning its head toward it.
I grabbed the spinning kobold’s head in the air and threw it at the face of the kobold with a terrified expression.
“Keew!!”
It split the head of the colleague, who was the only one given the right to scream, and the waist of the kobold who had been headbutted.
“Whoa.”
And I took a moment to catch my breath and look back. The three kobolds were pinned to the floor with expressions of incomprehension. Only the wrist was blown off, and he stabbed the still-living kobold’s head with his sword, and kindly ended his short life.
“Would this be enough to scare you?”

The output of the sword’s magical power was slightly raised to burn the stained blood. And when I looked ahead again, most of the kobolds were walking backwards with an expression that they saw something they couldn’t understand.
It must be that they are feeling fear that transcends even the instinct of group life. If you leave it like this, it will eventually run away. While I was thinking about that, I felt something strange.
“Goo oh oh… … .”
At the far end of the kobolds, there was a kobold with feathers on its head. It wasn’t the pickaxe the other kobolds were holding, it was the kobold holding a staff with a black stone embedded in it.
“Goooooooo!!”
‘Is it roughly like a boss monster?’
I decided to call the boss kobold a voodoo kobold because it looked like a voodoo master.
“Goooh! oh oh oh!! KOOOOOOOO!!!”
In any case, the voodoo kobold continued to howl as if commanding the kobolds around it as it stretched out its staff. I didn’t know what he was talking about, but I could tell that he was just rushing.
However, the kobolds continued to notice as if they didn’t want to go, and the moment I thought that I should go this way-
“Fire, fire, Crown Prince!! behind!!”
“Noisy! Because it’s crazy here… … ?!”
cried Ber. I looked back annoyed, and was momentarily speechless at the sight in front of me.
The kobolds I would have surely killed were staggering to their feet.
“What, what is it? f*ck… … .”
Losing a hand, struggling with a pickaxe with only a severed wrist, staggering to stand up with a pickaxe even though he had no head, and groaning on the floor, holding onto his broken body to make use of it.
It was more disgusting than scary. It was a physiologically unpleasant sight.
“… … Caspal, do kobolds actually resurrect when they die?”
“It can’t be, but it is!”
Caspal replied as he cut off the limbs of the kobold that was grabbing his leg and kicked it.
“How did this happen, how does it move… … !”
“Oops, it took a shot! If you shoot, you will surely die, oh!”
Dimitri in the back continued to fire Ice Spears in a panic, and Borland was disassembling the gun hurriedly. Obviously, the power of a double barrel shotgun would be helpful as no corpse would remain, but that’s it. Even if it is strong, it definitely needs improvement.
“This is interesting. For a kobold subject, I thought he would handle chaos in a clumsy manner.”
Amid all the tension, Ethel, who had been doing nothing but watching, said in admiration. His gaze was fixed on the voodoo kobold behind him.
“Oh, are you okay?! Isn’t it a complete despair?!”
Ber cried out in tears as she awkwardly hid behind Ethel, who was much smaller than herself. A constantly pathetic look. I don’t think he was such a pathetic kid in the original story.
“Hmm. how is it. Will you be okay, Crown Prince?”
Ethel asked, pushing the ber behind her. Some tension lingered among the co-workers.
Caspal breathed heavily and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Dimitri groaned as if his magic was slowly running out, and Borland was still grunting as he assembled the gun.
At first glance, this is a serious crisis situation.
“Well, I guess… … .”
But I shook my head. And the kobolds struggling and moving grossly-
“I’m a weak kobold, but.”
I stomped on it with my foot and incapacitated it again.
The remnants of the kobolds, which had languished a few times with military boots, quickly turned into useless pieces of flesh again. A little bit of black smoke rose from between the lumps of flesh.
“Still.”
I wiped the dirty boots on the floor and looked back at the voodoo kobold. The wrinkled voodoo kobold fearlessly glared at us with an expression of terrifying anger.
I applied lightning to my sword again.
“If you go this far, it would be polite to treat you sincerely.”
It definitely raised the output more than a while ago. A weak oral phenomenon encircled my body. I strode forward so as not to stun my other colleagues.
The kobolds, who had been staring at me as I strode along, not knowing what to do, jumped in one by one. Then, bouncing off the sparks surrounding my body, I rolled on the floor sloppily, or was split in two by my roughly swinging sword.
“Goo oh oh… … ! Koooooo!!”
Bang, Quaang. The voodoo kobold desperately lowered his staff. A feeble black mist flowed out and flowed into the fallen kobold, and I trampled it out again. I got used to the feeling of stepping on soft flesh, so it didn’t feel too bad anymore.
“You seem to think you’ve learned something great.”
The voodoo kobold’s expression grew more and more fearful. He desperately slammed his staff, but nothing happened, and most of the kobold remnants got scared and ran away. Even after being resurrected, he fled.
“Anyway, it’s a kobold. you guys.”
I reached the front of the voodoo kobold. Then, he raised his sword high and slashed it down at once.
“Kobold hunting, thank you for your hard work.”
“okay. … … By the way, Katyusha, where have you been?”
After defeating the voodoo kobold, I asked Katyusha, who appeared before me and greeted me casually. Katyusha’s maid uniform had some blood on it.
“I was fighting on the other side. It seems that the others didn’t notice it because they were fighting in front so they wouldn’t get caught up in it.”
Saying that, Katyusha glanced at the side where there were a lot of kobold corpses. I didn’t know because I was distracted by the other kids, but it seemed that I had killed a lot of them.
“You fought well without saying a word.”
“Many-to-one training is familiar.”
Katyusha was originally trained as an assassin. Even if it was an opponent with magical powers, it would be simple enough to deal with ordinary humans or monsters.
“I was surprised to see the corpse suddenly squirm.”
It was Katyusha-like that he said so, but not in a teasing manner. don’t be shy
“… … I’ve thought about it before, but the prince’s servants are very strong.”
Caspal crouched down with his sword in the ground. He didn’t use his magic, but he looked a little tired. I’d rather build up some stamina.
“no. Caspal-nim is also very good.”
“okay. Awesome! Actually, you were a strong guy, you.”
Borland interrupted Katyusha’s praise. And soon, he whistled awkwardly at the cold gazes pouring down on him.
“That gun seemed to keep getting stuck.”
“Since it’s City Number 1, it can’t be helped. Wouldn’t it be better if we improved?”
“It is shameless. Did you fire three shots during the entire fight?”
Dimitri gave a rare tantrum toward Borland, who answered my question.
“The whole fight is disassembling and assembling next to me, so it’s crazy. If you hadn’t shot me in the first place, this situation wouldn’t have happened.”
“Ugh. I have nothing to say about that.”
Borland was embarrassed. Dimitri was about to say something more, but stopped with a sigh. It’s been a lot of trouble since then.
“I’m sorry my friend is an idiot. Please bear with me, even if you see my face.”
“… … I’m not angry. I’m just ashamed of myself for not being so happy after asking me to leave it to you.”
Caspal apologized, pulling Borland’s hair. Dimitri shook his head bitterly.
“Dimitri, you did a good job. The number of kobolds you have dealt with is probably the largest among us.”
I patted the weak Dimitri on the shoulder and encouraged him. Then he looked around at the kobold corpses scattered around.
“Then let’s get the loot.”
I don’t think there’s anything great about the booty of kobolds, but you can’t just ignore it. First of all, there is one thing that worries me.
The collection of loot did not take long.
It was mostly the old leather the kobold was wearing, some ore, and a pickaxe.
“The iron part of the pickaxe is quite useful. That should be enough!”
Borland, who had collected the loot most faithfully, was excited and put it in the sack one by one. I am quite familiar with the skill of cutting off the unnecessary rotten handle of the pickaxe and inserting it.
“Didn’t I say that I would give it to you?”
“Eek. Even if I sold all of this, wouldn’t it be too much?”
“Didn’t you just say that this was quite wide?”
“It’s commoner standard, commoner standard. It’s difficult to compare it to a noble’s sense of money.”
If you’re this shameless, it’s stupid to even say anything. From the beginning, I thought of handing over the small spoils because I didn’t want to increase the burden, but I feel nasty. Caspal is also kicking Borland’s shin non-stop, probably of the same mind. Well done. take more
Among the loot, I picked up a voodoo kobold’s staff. I felt something ominous energy from the staff with a black stone at the tip that looked like a pitch blend.
“Ethel. Is it possible for a kobold or something to become a necromancer?”
I asked Ethel as I turned my wand around.
