Chapter 24: [] Chapter Twenty two: The battle
With the goblins emerging from the tall grass, their menacing red eyes locked onto us. It was clear that the battle was about to begin.
I looked down, and was worried, but thankfully the water stayed surroundings the formation. Like a Circle in it's original form.
" Phew thankfully the water didn't spread if it did sparky would have been in a danger"
Soon enough the Goblins one by one showed themself, Holding different kinds of weapons. Like small swords, daggers even bows where there!.
Slowly the Goblins started forming groups of three to five surroundings us. There evil laughter echoed throughout our the grass feild.
None attacked neither did I. Luring them in the water would be the best choice.
" Oh I might as well check if I can control the dungeon! With lord function"
I right away opened it, and tried moving the rock I am sitting one.
As I pushed it forward in the function with my mind. The rock moved too! Swiftly!.More quickly then before I realized it was the effect of the trait! Which I gained after that deadly battle.
[] The Craftsmith: Control over dungeon increased by 300% []
Now that I figured out it worked ! Many possibilities has been unlocked for more combat tactics!. And my control over the dungeon Increased.
With new profound discovery! My confidence increased.
[The Goblins layer
Objective: kill 30 goblins
Failure: None
Rewards: Unpredictable ]
Still I shouldn't be over confident. " I have to kill 30 goblins to pass!"
" Can I expand it outside too?" I thought. And I tried expanding the dungeon in the dungeon lord function.
With a mental push, I expanded the dungeon using the Dungeon Lord function, wondering if it would work beyond the confines of the underground layer. To my surprise, it did.
The water surroundings the 3rd layer expanded on the grass land swiftly!. Like a water ring.
Two goblins were unfortunate before they could react they were taken in the water. And before they could react!
-Grraahh!!
-Grah!

Sparky right away shread them to pieces!. There green blood stained the water. But after a couple of seconds along with the shreaded pieces of there bodies the green stain turned into white particles and disappeared.
" Good job sparky! I will count on you! Ready to attack again!."
"Well done, Sparky! That's two down, and we've got 28 more to go. Prepare for attack!!
Win a mental push! I expanded the water as far as I can at the same time dismissing the 2nd layer in the 3rd layer making the water more reachable!.
With a determined focus, I expanded the water further, forming a larger watery expanse on the grassland. The goblins seemed taken aback by this sudden change in the battlefield, but their malicious grins quickly turned into snarls of frustration.
As the water encroached on their territory, several goblins attempted to retreat, but they were met with a swift end as Sparky darted toward them, teeth bared and eyes gleaming with a fierce determination.
Grah! No!
It's water! We can't swim!

Sparky's agility in the water proved to be a significant advantage, and it wasn't long before we had taken down five more goblins. The green stains from their demise turned into those mysterious white particles, vanishing into the ether.
Seeing our success, I couldn't help but smile. "Excellent work, Sparky! We're making great progress. Let's keep pushing them back!"
As I prepared to expand the water again, my attention was suddenly drawn to three glowing red balls in the distance. I swiftly turned to see a group of goblins wielding wooden staves, conjuring fireballs.
With evil laughter, they hurled five fireballs toward us.
Acting fast I commanded sparky to jump in the water. I acted quickly, commanding Sparky to jump into the water and creating a watery wall. Although the wall wasn't solid, it stood still for just long enough.
One by one, all the fireballs splashed onto the water wall, generating dense smoke that obscured the view of both the goblins and us. Seizing the opportunity, I pushed the water toward the group.
"Sparky, go!" I commanded.
Without hesitation, Sparky swam toward the goblins and unleashed her Hydro Blast, creating a cone-shaped wave that crashed upon them, dealing significant damage before tearing them to pieces with her razor-sharp teeth.
[]Hydro Blast: Releases a powerful torrent of water, dealing 28 damage to all enemies in a cone-shaped area.[]

Witnessing the notifications, I wasted no time. Before the smoke had a chance to disperse completely, I retracted the water. Sparky, ever vigilant, immediately sensed the retreating water and swam back to safety.
"Aqua team, quickly, use shields!" I urgently called out.
Without hesitation, I summoned another water wall, this time aiming for maximum height. As expected:
-Splash!
-Splash!
-Splash!
-Woosh!
-Woosh!
A barrage of fireballs and poison-coated arrows crashed relentlessly against the water wall. Miraculously, the water barrier completely nullified their attacks. Moments later, the uprooted water crashed down.
I quickly expanded the water as far as I could. As the smoke disappeared, I immediately turned my attention to the goblins who had attacked.
"Sparky, go!"
"Scarlet team, target the most crowded area and fire!" I shouted.
With the water barrier still in place, Sparky moved in for the attack once again, swiftly dispatching two more goblins in the chaos.

Meanwhile, the Scarlet team, had taken aim at the densest cluster of goblins. With precision, they launched a volley of fiery projectiles, along with fire balls hitting their targets directly.

There skills:

•(most of the slimes has this) Fire Ball {Lv: 2}: Cast an enhanced Fire Ball that inflicts burning damage of 0.75 per second for 6 seconds and actual damage of 24.

Screams of pain and panic echoed as several goblins were engulfed in flames. The smell of burning flesh filled the air, and the goblins' ranks began to thin.
" Violet attack there with the new skill" I right away noticed six goblins who were united like lost forgotten brother with the water waves as expanded swiftly!
Violet right away acted and in front of her mouth a small purple ball started forming. And after a split second it it rushed towards the Group I pointed.
The purple ball splashed on one the Goblins spreading purple smoke. And there skins started becoming purple.
As the purple smoke enveloped the group of goblins, ttheir movements became sluggish and erratic
My whole fous was on them. As I really wanted to know strong her skill was.
The new skill she got:
•Virulent Plague :Unleash a devastating virulent plague, spreading disease and chaos among enemies. The skill has multiple stages and effects:
Stage 1: Contamination - Release a cloud of infectious particles, infecting enemies within a 10-meter radius with a 60% chance.
Stage 2: Infestation - Infected enemies suffer continuous poison damage of 1.0 per second for 5 seconds. Their attack power is reduced by 20%.
Stage 3: Epidemic - The infection spreads rapidly to nearby enemies within a 5-meter radius of the initial targets. Newly infected enemies suffer continuous poison damage of 1.0 per second for 4 seconds and have their agility reduced by 30%.
Stage 4: Outbreak - The plague intensifies. All infected enemies, including those from Stage 3, experience increased poison damage of 6 per second for 3 seconds. Their defense is lowered by 15%.
Mp Cost: 90% ]
As the purple smoke enveloped the group of goblins, their movements became sluggish and erratic. They stumbled and swayed, disoriented by the virulent plague that Violet had unleashed upon them. It was a powerful and chaotic effect, and I watched closely, eager to see how it would unfold.
The goblins, now contaminated by Violet's plague, clutched their throats and writhed in agony. The poison inflicted by Stage 2 of the skill began its insidious work, sapping their strength and reducing their attack power.
[ Your subordinate {Violet} Has unleashed 'Virulent Plague: Stage 2' - Infected enemies suffer continuous poison damage and reduced attack power.]
The infected goblins struggled to maintain their formation as their movements grew increasingly sluggish. Some of them even collapsed to the ground, unable to bear the torment inflicted by the poison.
I couldn't help but be impressed by the potency of Violet's new skill. It had the potential to turn the tide of battle in our favor, weakening our enemies significantly.
"Great job, Violet!" I called out. "Keep an eye on them. Let's see how far this plague can spread."
Violet nodded, her concentration unwavering as she monitored the infected goblins.
Meanwhile, Sparky continued her relentless assault, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the plague. Two more goblins fell to her teeth and claws, their green blood mingling with the expanding pool of water.

The goblins, now ailing from both the poison and Sparky's attacks, were in disarray. Their evil laughter had turned into cries of pain, and their coordinated groups had broken apart.
As the plague continued to ravage their ranks, I couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence. "We've got them on the run! Keep pushing, everyone!"
With only 8 goblins remaining, the odds were increasingly in our favor. Violet along killed more then ten of them with her single attack!.
The remaining Eight goblins retreated as far they could and regrouped quickly. Even among them some were infected! As it has the ability to spread!.
I maintained the water ready to adjust it as needed, while Sparky continued to patrol the area. After she had done finishing all of them.
With determination in my eyes,"We're almost there, Just a few more to go. Let's finish this!"
