บท 450: Through The Dense Jungle

"Oh," he muttered, "I did it." 

As he stood there, still with a bit of surprise at his success still, a peculiar cracking sound, as if something was beginning to break, met his ears. 

"Huh?" He looked down. 

Before he could react in time, the branch in which he stood snapped in half beneath his weight, causing him to begin plummeting back down to the jungle floor--directly above the Stormfallen squadron of mages. 

"Ghhh--!" He let out. 

Catching himself before falling on his back, he landed on his feet properly as they dunked into the mud waiting below. 

"Well, I guess greetings aren't going to do me much here, are they?" He said wryly with a small smile. 

All around him, the goblin mages surrounded him, having fallen still out of complete surprise from the human that landed like a fallen star.
