Free Web NovelChapter 46: Chapter 46: That’s How We Mages Are
When Zelir had read the Association’s notes on the White-haired Goblin, he’d agonized over them for a while.
"Kill any magic-users on sight."
’Sigh.’
’We Mages are all like that. The moment we step onto a battlefield, it’s like we have a built-in taunt aura.’
The White-haired Goblin emerged from the cave step by step, leaning on a Bone Staff. The Beastman Goblin at its side stuck close, warily scanning their surroundings.
Zelir sneered.
’Clever little thing, knowing to keep a bodyguard with it at all times.’
’Let’s see if that bodyguard can actually stop me!’
He exchanged a look with Valles, and they both knew what to do.
Valles drew his bow and nocked an arrow, beginning to fuse his Fighting Qi into it.
Zelir, in turn, raised his White Wax Wood Base Material and began charging an Arcane Missile.
Two torrents of violent Power were brewing in the bushes!
Just then, the White-haired Goblin raised its Bone Staff as well.
It hopped up and down in a bizarre display, muttering a series of malicious, curse-like shrieks. frёewebnoѵēl.com
It was Casting too!
With its shriek, a wave of Spirit energy filled with negative emotions instantly swept across the battlefield.
Spirit Magic: Evil Words Skill!
Marcus, Gray, and Gak felt their minds grow heavy, as if they had been struck by a blunt object, and their movements slowed to a crawl.
While surrounded, such a lapse was a fatal weakness.
"Gawaka!" The White-haired Goblin violently jabbed its Bone Staff toward Marcus and his companions.
Kill them!
The goblins, who already had the upper hand, grew even more frenzied. The appearance of the White-haired Goblin was a shot in the arm.
Marcus and the others were still reeling from the aftereffects of the Evil Words Skill, unable to mount an effective defense. The situation had become critical.
At that moment, a swift black figure suddenly cut into the battlefield from the flank.
It was Hill! freeweɓnovel.cøm
She crouched low, sprinting at high speed and instantly plunging into the goblin horde.
Her twin daggers flashed with a cold light, their blades wreathed in sharp layers of Fighting Qi!
Any goblin that stood in her way had its throat slit by a vicious slash, sending brilliant sprays of blood into the air. Her target was the White-haired Goblin!
Such a brazen assassination attempt immediately drew the White-haired Goblin’s attention, and it let out a sharp shriek.
"Durruwa!"
Get that woman first!
At the White-haired Goblin’s command, the goblins that were about to swarm Marcus’s group changed their target. Even two Beastman Goblins began charging toward Hill.
"Hmph..."
Hill smirked in contempt. She lifted her cloak, and two round pellets shot out.
BANG! BANG!
A thick cloud of white smoke instantly erupted around Hill, concealing her from view and leaving the goblins without a target.
Hill’s diversion drastically reduced the pressure on Marcus’s position. Gasping for air, they rallied their spirits, focused their will, and broke free from the control of the Evil Words Skill.
At that very moment, the hidden ambush was now in place!
Valles released his bowstring.
Thunder Arrow—unleashed!
Filled with Fighting Qi, Valles’s Arrow crackled with electricity as it shot toward the White-haired Goblin with a deafening roar!
WHOOSH!!!
Its terrifying destructive power instantly annihilated the three regular goblins in its path, blowing their bodies to smithereens before striking the bodyguard beside the White-haired Goblin!
The residual force of the Arrow knocked the bodyguard to the ground, leaving the White-haired Goblin completely exposed!
It whipped its head around, its eyes wide with shock.
’The humans had another ambush waiting in the shadows?!’
Before the White-haired Goblin could react, the next attack arrived.
Arcane Missile!
Valles’s Thunder Arrow had cleared all obstacles from the path, giving Zelir’s Arcane Missile a clear shot.
With no way to dodge, the White-haired Goblin could only watch as it was forced to take the spell head-on!
BOOM!!!
The roar of the explosion was deafening. The overflowing Magic Power kicked up a massive cloud of dust, twisting the lingering smoke into a spiral!
A blinding blue light erupted!
A direct hit!
CRASH!!!
The Arcane Missile’s impact seemed to bring the battlefield to a halt. Goblins and Adventurers alike stared, wide-eyed, at where the White-haired Goblin had been.
’What was the result...?’
The smoke slowly began to clear.
The hair on the White-haired Goblin’s head fluttered gently. The shocked expression was still frozen on its face, but its lower half was gone.
Yes, completely gone.
The Arcane Missile had torn away everything below the waist, killing it instantly!
The quick-kill operation was a success!
When the goblins saw the gruesome death of their leader, a stunned silence fell over them as fear began to take root in their hearts.
’Our leader... just died like that?’
"Now!" Marcus roared.
This was the perfect chance to annihilate the entire Goblin Community. The six-person squad held nothing back and launched an all-out assault!
Valles drew his bow again, charged his power, and fired another Thunder Arrow!
His target this time was the Beastman Goblin in front of Marcus.
The Thunder Arrow struck home, blowing off its shoulder and a large part of its torso!
Gore splattered through the air as the Beastman Goblin collapsed, letting out a pained wail.
Marcus followed up with a vicious Shield Strike, then beheaded it for the finishing blow!
Zelir provided support from afar, conjuring an Arcane Missile that blew the skullcap off the Beastman Goblin fighting Gak.
Red and white matter splattered onto the ground. The Beastman Goblin died instantly!
Before the might of Fighting Qi and Magic, their physical bodies were pathetically fragile.
The successive deaths of the White-haired Goblin and the Beastman Goblins shattered their morale.
Seeing this, the regular goblins lost all will to fight. They screamed and wailed as they scattered in every direction.
But Gray wasn’t about to let them get away.
"Hahahaha! Running now? It’s too late for that!"
Gray roared with laughter. With a thrust and a stab of his Longsword, two more goblins fell dead.
The green-skinned mongrels were completely routed under Gray’s pursuit, losing all will to fight.
Some goblins tried to run back to the cave to hide, but under the cover of smoke, Hill had already circled around to cut off their retreat, sealing their last avenue of escape.
First came her daggers, followed by phantom-like Flying Sabers.
She didn’t even need to use Fighting Qi against these grunts. She unleashed a rain of Hidden Weapons, and with her arsenal of killing tools, Hill’s kill rate was astonishingly high!
When the last wail died down, silence finally returned to the battlefield.
The Goblin Community was wiped out!
Zelir lowered his Magic Wand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Level 5 (22/200) -> Level 6 (102/225)
Level up!
In the recent battle, Zelir had personally killed one White-haired Goblin, one Beastman Goblin, and several regular goblins, earning a total of 280 Experience Points.
