An ominous catastrophe. Dark Phoenix. (2)
A large group of goblins, four in all, were walking along the forest.
[Kieek!]
[Kiik!]
A group of guys with crude wooden spears on their shoulders.
I was walking along the waterway and exploring the surroundings.
The water level has risen significantly due to the terrible rainy season that lasted all week.
Goblins were as cunning as their small bodies.
In a forest like this, their senses were exceptionally better than any other sentient beings.
Maybe that’s why, from time to time, their eyes would follow the swollen water to look around, but that was to find the body that had been swept away by the current.
They were goblins who had already passed several years.
They knew from experience that during this rainy season, there are those who inevitably get swept away by the rough current.
Moreover, this year’s rainy season was even more extreme.
If the water flow and the rainy season were this severe, there must have been a corpse of some kind somewhere here.
[Kiik?]
In the meantime.
A group of monsters in the distance evolved.
[Kahah!]
The corpse cleaners are ‘mountain crows’, one of the lower level monsters.
They were eating carcasses washed up on the shore.
Judging from the fact that the corpse’s fur had fallen out and turned pure white, it must have been some time since it died.
The wild crows, who are scavengers, managed to find such a corpse first and were already having a party.
[Kiii-.]
The eyes of the goblins who discovered them were strained. A sharp life was in the middle of the day.
The sight of tearing off the flesh of the corpse and passing it down the throat was intense for a moment.
This area was their territory.
It is not something that can be easily overlooked by someone else.
What’s more, I’ve been wandering around for such a long time to find a body that died from drowning, and even then, the player was taken away.
For those goblins, a cunning and vile race, that was unacceptable.
From the low point of view of the goblins, this corpse was already theirs.
The area is theirs, so the dead bodies are theirs too.
Since it was taken away out of nowhere, I can’t help but feel feverish.
From the perspective of others, it was obviously an absurd calculation, but the goblins were originally like that.
They were greedy creatures. Since they were absurdly calculating that everything they saw was already theirs from that moment on, they said everything.
So.
They had no intention of leaving those ravens alone.
I slowly approached them, glaring at them as they were eating and preying on them.
I got closer to a certain extent and pulled it to the inside of my shoulder. And then. With all his might, he shot the spear like an arrow.
Kwajik!
With a terrifying noise, the spear pole slammed into one of the ravens.
[Kahah!]
The mountain crows flew up into the sky in amazement at the sight of their own kind being pierced through the sharp spearhead.
[Kirruru-.]
The goblins gnashed their teeth as they glared at them as they quickly flapped their wings and disappeared.
But it wasn’t long before it faded away.
Instead, they started smirking and giggling.
[Kakaaak! Caw!]
It was because of a wounded raven flapping its wings frantically in fright, pinned to a spear post.
It had already been pierced and was swaying helplessly on the ground, dripping blood like black oil.
In the calculation of the guys, the formula that another carcass ‘increased’ was established.
One corpse has now become two.
And they both became theirs.
The unpleasant mood a moment ago quickly improved.
[Kiik!]
With smirking faces, the excited goblins approached the raven with their spearheads.
You can see their mighty power.
Eueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueu
It’s hunting time.
Slowly.
And a group of goblins were watched by some bright yellow pupils hiding in the bushes.
It was an exceptionally thin golden pupil that contracted like a narrowed eye.
It was none other than the young werewolves who had the pupils of those flying beasts.
‘They outnumber us. There are four of them.’
Winter, Yui, and Yumi.
They were staring at the other group with a quiet, still breathing sound.
Now they have dealt with many monsters in this area.
Due to the steady follow-up and learning, they are now able to compare their own and the opponent’s strength.
Be more objective.
More efficiently.
They are now able to count their opponents and figure out their advantages and disadvantages.
‘But it’s possible to be a good enough opponent. It won’t be difficult.’
Calculation finished.
In the wild, it’s not just about winning.
It was just a result of a process of continuing life.
Even if you win the battle.
If you get a deep wound or even a fatal injury from hunting, it could lead to irreversible results.
Because being injured makes it impossible to go out on the next hunt.
Due to the nature of the werewolf pack, where each individual role is interlocked like a gear, the damage is not good when looking down from the unit of the whole pack.
‘The important thing is how agile and completely overwhelms you. In order to safely end the hunt, I have to wipe out all the enemies in an instant.’
Just as the werewolves were predators, the other goblins were also predators.
Although their level is so weak that they cannot be compared to werewolves, those guys know how to show their teeth and fight back when cornered.
As long as you are a predator who hunts prey and fills your stomach with it, your strength shouldn’t be the same.
If they are similar, both groups will inevitably be fatally injured or equivalent. The idea of both sides is the worst ending that must be avoided unconditionally in the wild.
In that sense, Winter and the two sisters were able to deal with that group of goblins.
That’s overwhelming too.
There could be no damage because of that. Even if there is an unexpected situation, he can handle it enough.
His body was talking.
You can catch them. The realm of intellect and instinct, both are shouting the same result.
Winter He also believed in the certainty of his instincts.
Leakage-.
The first sister, Yui, was taking a deep breath at that moment.
Yui’s breath sucked in the surrounding air for a long time, and then it stopped.
Just right.
Due to her being in the shape of a werewolf, the long claws that grew out gently tapped her on the ground.
That was the signal.
The moment when they filled their lungs with air and hit the ground elastically inflating their thighs.
‘Right now!’
Tadak!
Three werewolves shot out of the bush and charged at the goblins.
* * * *
Pasasak!
The group of four goblins were happy after catching another prey.
The moment they let go of their guard, seized by momentary bliss.
Out of the blue, the bushes right next to it made a loud noise.
[Key profit?]
At the sudden noise, they reflexively turned their heads.
From noble mtl dot com
But it was a sudden sound that happened so unconsciously that the guys didn’t even think to hold onto the spear properly.
Awareness of that natural boundary, which would normally have been possible.
It was because I stopped as if momentarily paralyzed because I was overcome with embarrassment and joy.
And this situation was exactly the moment the werewolves were aiming for.
The eldest sister, Yui, exclaimed, opening her sharp chin.
[Kwaaang!]
A sharp roar.
With him, the magic of the werewolves spread around like a wave.
Although weak, it was definitely Fear.
At the wolf’s howl full of life, the goblins’ bodies suddenly stopped.
That short moment of bewilderment and hardening was undoubtedly fatal.
They didn’t miss the moment.
My second sister, Yumi, pounced on one of the nearest goblins and tore them apart with her teeth and claws.
Blood splattered and flesh ripped.
[Ke, Khehehek!]
The guy who was hit by Yumi couldn’t even scream properly.
Because I was literally hit in an instant, I rolled across the grass as it was covered in dirt.
Juuk I fell to the ground with my long tongue hanging out.
It was an instant death.
[Key, Kiik-!]
One died.
And only then did the rest of the goblins react.
Holding on to the spearhead, the other three tried to gather in one place.
It was a reflex action characteristic unique to goblins who live in groups.
‘Where!’
But before they even gathered in one place.
Cunningly, Winter took the lead.
