I almost forgot that this game was still considered a fantasy one, thanks to my abnormal encounters in the starry night city, so seeing a goblin was somewhat surprising. The goblin which had darker skin than usual goblin, was unusually fast, as he held the dagger that was attached to his waist to attack Grace who was acting as the head of the noobish formation.
Grace was still in a trance from being surprised by the monster's appearance, and she didn't seem she would avoid the attack nor crush it with a stronger attack at this rate….
'To the right!'
Grace suddenly dodged before looking at me with confusion, however, the goblin's attack was far from done.
'Not the time to be confused, counter-attack at 5 o'clock!'
Grace hurriedly held her mace high up before turning back by the time the goblin managed to recover its balance, finally smashing it above his head. Green blood and white brain juice splattered on her and the other two who were close to her.
As soon as they confirmed everything was over, grace had the look that she wanted to puke, while the tough looking Tie actually threw up, as only Tia managed to get a hold of herself as the farthest from the newly deceased corpse.
It looked like this was really the first time they actually engaged in killing, and they also seemed to have no combat instinct, which reminded me of my first battle against a rabbit….
While remembering a not so great moment of mine, I still analysed Grace's battle ability which seemed to be quite high, not only did she have a freakish 10+ strength, and a body ability which enhanced it by 10%, but she also applied light elements to her mace, she truly gave her all in this strike, which was mainly the reason a lv20 goblin could be one-shotted this way, aside from it having low constitution…
As for how I managed to give her instructions, it was actually a trial ability of mine that I just tried right now, by using my outer mental energy and forming a connection with her mind, I became capable of transferring inner thoughts as fast as possible, which seemed similar to how I conversed with the dead lion before. I didn't know how he did it, but my method was just a derived ability from 'Telekinesis'.
Of course, in case that failed, I had my bow ready to take care of the target either if she didn't receive the message or if she didn't manage to react in time.
After they calmed down and managed to accept the reality of what they were supposed to do, I explained to them that I had a special tool that's capable of talking directly to the target, so that I'd instruct them more easily. Then, we took off to continue our raid….
`~~`~~`~~`
one day later, we sat down to rest after clearing the venue from monsters, and thanks to the actually somewhat high battle ability of the trio and my direct 'Mental transmission', we managed to clear up to 80% of the gate already with no casualties, according to 'Eye of knowledge'...
The number of times I had to interfere to remove a fatal target even after warning them was 5 times, 3 of them were Tia's, 2 were Tie's, and Grace needed help only one time, However, this was already good enough if one were to consider their inexperience.
"Big brother Ian is the best! I would have definitely died if not for your help this time!"
"It's okay, you three are strong enough to take on higher ranked caves, you only needed this little push, you would probably be able to clear this cave with ease if you were to enter again!"
They truly deserved to be called geniuses, their battle abilities could even go as high as fighting lv30 monsters if they had enough experience!
Naturally, if they were to mature a little more before entering, they would have easily avoided the near death situations. Unfortunately, due to the scheming of whoever had enmity with them, they were forced to enter in this situation, leaving me with the only option, which is to temper their battle instinct forcefully….
In any case, they weren't such a bad party, so planting that seed in them might come as useful later, if I were to need to use the identity of Lan Storm any time later.
Pushing back these roaming thoughts to the back of mind, we got ready once again to push forward, finishing this gate in one final go!
- 2nd chapter of the day!
- 1 more to go....
Finally reaching the small door which looked similar to the last one, with the only difference of it being dark green with two monsters' heads like sculpture popping out of the door.
it took another day to simply clear the last 20% as the level of the goblins seemed to be approaching the limit of this gate which is 25, while the number of monster groups seemed to be increasing. However, despite the situation, the trio hardly had a blunder as I only needed to save Tie one time.
Though, as soon as we reached into as far as 90% of the gate, we found that most of the goblins were holding pickaxes and mining some sort of black crystal-like ore, I took the chance to store some for further search, but just contact with it gave me goosebumps for some reason.
`~~`~~`~~`
Tie pushed the door of the boss room as we followed in, we soon saw the boss who was a type of hobgoblin with dark brown skin, it held double axes and was playing with a black crystal similar to the ones the goblins were mining. It was seated on the ground before the short pillar holding the core, unlike the death knight who was sitting on a throne.
It seemed like even after corruption, some parts of the personality stayed intact, the death knight may have been some sort of a human ruler, while the hobgoblin was a much more primitive type of ruler according to their standings and positions.
As soon as the 2 meter tall hobgoblin saw us, he rushed over after unleashing a war cry.
"Kreuhhhhhh"
The trio didn't even need me to talk as they focused their attacks on the monster while dodging easily due to the hobgoblin's huge body which was much less agile than the normal goblins, in exchange his hits seemed to pack quite a punch as rocks came flying from the spots he hit, there was even smaller cracks that formed.
Half an hour later….
The hobgoblin was full of injuries as he stood looking at his three targets full of stamina, it didn't seem like prolonging the battle would give more results, as such the team all heading for his head, which seemed to be the most vulnerable.
"Kreuhhhhhhahhhhh"
The hobgoblin's head was crushed as soon as the three managed to land a lethal all-out hit on his head 10 minutes later, finished by Grace's mace crush, the hobgoblin's cry was the last thing he added before collapsing clumsily at the floor….
However, suddenly an ominous feeling filled the surroundings, as another anomaly occurred at this gate…..
- 3rd chapter.... a bit small but ... D:
