************************
At the Burmond Kingdom
"Guild master, I didn't call you here for nothing. it's about the disappearance of the storm Dragon "
said a man, he is Baron Belyard of the Burmond kingdom
" If I have to guess, the monsters will become more active than ever...what did you prepare for countermeasures "
he was talking to a man with a scar on his left eye. he is the branch leader of the freedom association Fitz.
he was drinking his tea that was served to him by the maid as he said
" we didn't prepare for anything...making countermeasures is the nations' job. we are not volunteers, Baron " he said
hearing what Fitz said, the baron had a troubled face, he dismissed the maids and sat down as he rubbed his temple
" it's not just about the monsters, Fitz "
" The eastern empire? " Fitz had a calm face like he already know about this
" Yes. the power that was stopping them is now gone, there is no stopping them, the surrounding nations near the Jura forest will be conquered in no time. I am afraid, that they already start moving "
The baron had a troubled and worried face, he knows that it is only a matter of time before a grand war start.
Fitz also know about this, he sighed and said " Don't worry, I already sent a team to investigate the cave that Veldora was sealed in, I am waiting for their return "
" I am counting on you Fitz " said the baron
" Don't mind that, we are childhood friends after all. who ever the culprit is, we will find him " said Fitz with a serious expression
...
Aaand the culprit is now walking with confident inside the Jura forest not realizing how much trouble he had caused.
" Man, this forest is huge " I said as I looked around, the trees are so big and the air smells nice, it feels good for my sensitive smelling sense
On my way I met a pack of wolves, I got near them but as soon as they saw me, they trembled in fear and ran away. How rude, I know I am strong and all but I didn't even do anything.
whatever, I am not gonna let that upset me, I continued walking to find a river or any source of water to drink from, I am getting thirsty, it's been about a month since the last time a drank some water.
I should have drank some in that lake when I had the chance.
After walking for a few minutes, I met GOBLINS!! as expected there are goblins in this world.
they are holding weapons and shields looks like they want to attack but...Weak bodies, rusted armors and weapons...I doubt they can even scratch, they are even trembling at my sight
One of them, stepped forward as he trembled, looks like he is the leader
" Strong one, please, what business do you have ahead " asked the goblin
Hm? if I have to guess, then, their village must be ahead, they want to protect it. even tho they are weak. I respect that. a warrior should defend his home no matter the enemy
" I am Asura, and u here looking for water " I said to them with an indifferent tone
but they were shocked and fell to the floor with terrified faces
" S..Strong one, p..please, we recognize your strength, p..please your voice.. " said the leader
Eh? my voice is wrong with it??
[ Answer : that is due to your Natural Skill [ intimidation] being Active all the time ]
Ah!! is that so, no wonder they are trembling, it's because my voice is reinforced with the skill intimidation, making it sound cold, cruel and scary
I quickly disactivated my Skill and said " What about now?? is it still scary? " I asked them
they had faces of relieved as they stranded up from the ground, their leader said " Thank you for sparing us, strong one "
" Then, what brought you guys here?? I am not doing anything ahead of here. I am just looking for water " I said to them. I didn't want them to be scared when talking to me, it's kinda annoying when they struggle to speak
" We felt a massive demonic Aura fr here and we found out it's belong to you strong one...if you don't Mind please, retract your Aura as it's very scary " said the leader with nervous face. he is afraid to offend me
" GS, is my Aura leaking??"
[ Notice : Switching to the 3rd person point of view ]
After that, a scene of me appeared in my mind, it shows how big my Aura is, phew~ That's some serious stuff there. my aura is everywhere. it's like black mist that is surrounding my body.
I quickly retracted my Aura, surprising the goblin, as they didn't think I will accept their request.
Knowing that I have no I'll intention, the goblins invited me to their Village, they said they can give me water to drink since the nearest source of water is far from here
I followed the goblins into their village.
they gave me a house to stay in, although it's a bit Run down and fragile, it's serve it's purpose. they also gave me a big Puckett of water, I started drinking like there is no tomorrow. I didn't even know how did I survive that long without water
After a few minutes, the leader of the previous goblins came to me with another old goblin, he is so old that I think he will die at any minutes
" Sorry for making you wait, strong one. I am the Elder of this village " said the old goblin
"No problem"
" Strong one, can you please grant us a request?' The old and young goblins kneeled before me as they asked
I knew that they didn't invite me here just to give me water. I am a possible threat to them. who is in his right mind will invite a threat to his home unless he have something to benefit from it
" I will grant it after i listen to the context " I said
The old goblin was happy that I accepted to listen. he quickly started to explain
" About a month ago, the dragon god who was protecting us, disappeared suddenly. after that, the monsters who want to expanded their territory started eyeing this village. powerful demons like the fang wolves are attacking us. 1 fanged Wolf is stronger than 10 of us combined. it's a though battle " he said
Goblins are mostly the lowest demons, it is no a surprise that they are losing " how many is there ?? " I asked
" Around 100 on the other hand we only have sixty goblins who can fight including the females " the old goblin said
there is a massive difference in number. " are you sure? how do you know that that is their total number?? they can be more of them that didn't join the fight " I said
" we are sure, this an information that was giving to us by Rigurdu " said the young goblin
" Rigurdu?? Who is that??" I asked
" Rigurdu is my Son, he was the pride of this village. he was given name by a Devil and evolved into a hobgoblin...we are alive now because of his efforts...E..Even if it was fate. please, I beg of you strong. we want to live, for my son's sacrifice " the old goblin was talking about his son with a sad face. he is probably dead. Sigh~
" Then what do I have in return ?" I asked, saving them is no problem but I never was a man who do things for free unless I have something after it
The two goblins looked at each other and nodded
" Our village's loyalty, we offer our loyalty " said the old goblin
*AWOOOOOOOOOO!!*
Suddenly a loud howl of wolves is heard. the goblins became shocked and were consumed by fear
" IT'S WOLVES "
" WE ARE GOING TO DIE "
" LET'S RUN AWAY "
screams like this came from outside the house. the Elder tried to calm them but to no avail.
I looked at them panicking with calm face. in the first place, it's because I tried to free Veldora they're experiencing this, I hold some responsibility too
" EVERYONE!!! calm down. I will take my brother's place and protect you " My Golden eyes glowed as I said making the goblins stop what they're doing and looked at me. they were surprised at first but suddenly they dropped to the ground kneeling for me
" THANK YOU!! OUT LORD!! " they all screamed at once recognizing me as their master
