Episode 53 Area outside the border (2)
In the morning, they moved again.
The impact the ogre gave yesterday was considerable, and tension was rising around them.
No matter how great the army was, I learned that it was meaningless to starving monsters.
You never know when and where a monster will attack you.
As expected, a large number of goblins appeared in front of them.
Helio, who commanded the Paladins at the forefront, frowned.
Now, I thought a goblin, not an ogre, would attack me. There’s no doubt that they’re crazy because they really want to die.
Even Priest Geol, who was in charge of the priests, did not give the goblin group a single glance.
Herio looked around and said.
“It goes right through.”
“yes!”
“yes!”
It was enough to be frightened by the roaring spirit, but the goblins’ reactions were dry.
The leading Paladins took their stance and swung their swords.
Then an unbelievable response came out.
The goblins lightly avoided it. When the surprised paladin quickly tries to retrieve the sword.
“Kick.”
With a sound that resembled laughter, the goblin’s hand scratched his body.
Kigigging –
An unpleasant sound rang out.
The Paladins had to feel the horror of seeing their armor scratched.
It’s not just that there are a few scratches left, it’s because the part has been ripped off.
‘What kind of power is the goblin…’
Ray was also watching the scene from inside the carriage.
Yesterday’s ogres were the same, and today’s goblins were the same.
Aren’t the monsters strangely strong?
Of course, I haven’t seen it a few times in reality, but it wasn’t very strong as described in the book.
At the level of the goblins, if a few villagers attacked together, they could have won enough.
But what does it look like now?
Instead of being knocked down by the attack, the goblin hordes are avoiding the attackers.
He was so agile that he wanted to give the goblins a round of applause.
Even Iriel, who was next to him, muttered as if he felt something strange when he saw it.
“The monsters are a little strange…”
There was a problem with saying it was a little strange. One goblin made a double wall with one paladin of mid-tier.
Did he drink an elixir instead of water in the forest? I wonder how you can count like that.
“I must go.”
She said and got off the carriage.
Ray also got off with him.
“Aaaagh!”
As soon as I got out of the wagon, I heard a scream and looked that way to see that one of the paladins was being attacked by goblins.
“Kiki kick.”
With a grotesque laugh, the goblin laid him down.
At that moment, Ray cast his magic.
“Wind cutter.” The
goblin
‘s head fell with a sharp creak.
The goblins, who managed to dodge their attacks, surrendered their heads to the saint’s magic.
The saved paladin hurriedly stood up and bowed his head.
“thank you! Thanks to the saint, my life was saved!”
Ray nodded and looked around.
Looking at the group of goblins, which seemed to outnumber the dispatched battalion, it was clear that the situation was very serious.
Some of the wagons were already in a state of disrepair, and the contents of the wagons were also stolen taking advantage of the congested situation.
Isn’t it quite intelligent for a goblin?
Iriel grabbed his head at that figure.
“The Holy Kingdom’s army is at a loss for a bunch of goblins like this…”
He said that, but he knew full well that it was unavoidable.
She had never seen such a strong goblin in her life.
In addition, the number of people is also higher than their own, so they feel like they are struggling with how to deal with this.
Iriel sighed and raised his hand.
Even though it was a bright morning, a strong light lingered in her hand.
The light gradually grew larger and spread soft enough to surround the nearby paladins and priestesses.
“Bless. Holy seal. Holy activation.”
With her words, the light stayed on everyone’s body once.
“Oooh!”
“Saintess!”
With admiration, feeling their power increased to the point where they could feel it, they drove the goblins.
“Khehe!”
“Aww!”
One by one, goblins that fit the attack appeared.
The Sanggyeondae went out to kill the goblins out of excitement.
Herio shouted around.
“Let the wounded be treated from behind! Keep pushing!”
“yes!”
“All right!”
With their reply, the goblins seemed to be on the defensive little by little as their formation moved in perfect order.
But that was only for a moment. It was because the goblins attacked without caring for their safety.
The goblins disregarded their lives and rushed at them, probably knowing that if the battle was prolonged, they would have an advantage with priests and priests.
As a result, it became a bit of a drag.
“Looks like we have to step in.”
As Iriel spoke, divine power radiated from her hand.
Then, a yellow light like an aura rose from her hand.
Suddenly-
She lightly cut down the approaching goblins and approached the goblins who were rushing at the priests and priests.
“Keeek?”
The goblins, who expressed their doubts at the approach of the frail girl even to their eyes, dropped their heads just as they did.
Ray gave a small admiration as he saw Iriel cutting them down without hesitation.
There was no superfluity in the movement itself.
If he was only considering swordsmanship, he would not be able to compete with Iriel. How hard did it take to get to that level?
Still, he doesn’t boast about his skills. He wondered if Iriel would be the most restrained person in a similar age group as himself.
‘It’s not the time for me to be just admiring it.’
Rey stepped towards the goblin horde.
Then, with Herio at the front, I saw people sweating profusely to block the goblins.
“Wind cutter.”
Slow-sudden-
The goblins were cut off without a second feeling.
The attention of the other goblins was focused on Ray as the attack was so fast that he couldn’t even scream.
“Krurruk.”
“Kkeek.”
A horde of goblins began to surround him, probably thinking that he was the most threatening being.
It was what he wished for.
Ray ran forward, intending to stay away from the contingent.
His own run, developed in the forest of elves and completed by climbing Aira’s house, unfolded.
It was to the extent that the goblins were stunned by the absurd running. However, the goblins who came to their senses for a moment pursued Ray.
Because they were originally fast goblins, they kept running at a certain speed and caught up with them.
“Is this enough?”
The only thing around him was himself and a group of goblins.
You can pour magic with peace of mind.
Ray gathered mana around him.
“Fireball.”
The goblins were nervous about that, but soon laughed among themselves.
“Kiki kick.”
“Kiki kiki kick.”
The number of goblins that followed Ray exceeded 80.
But does that mean that what was cast as magic was a single fireball the size of an adult’s head?
The goblins laughed at the human magic, which was not even funny.
Looking at those goblins, Ray said in a puzzled way.
“Are you laughing?”
Swoop-
A lump of flame the size of his head increased by one.
Still, the laughter did not stop.
“Kiki Kiki Kick!”
“Kiki Kick!”
A group of very goblins became a sea of laughter.
The sound of giggling was heard everywhere.
Ray moved Mana regardless.
Srrrreuk-sreuk-
Ten lumps of flame increased around him.
At that, the goblins started to feel something strange.
Slowly –
Ten fireballs increased again.
There was no more laughter to be heard from the goblin hordes.
There were also no goblins with the courage to approach them recklessly.
Seeing them hesitantly, Ray absorbed all the mana around him.
The mana he turned through his mana rod was manifested again as magic.
Then, a spectacle was created in which hundreds of fireballs rolled around.
“….”
“….”
The goblins were now making devastated faces as they watched the hot spheres floating in the sky.
It was as if he was thinking like this.
‘What kind of person is so old…?’
‘Is that bastard really human…’
Ray pointed up with his finger at the expression that showed each person’s personality.
Accordingly, the heads of the goblins also turned upward.
“One for each head. Shield.”
A white orb formed around his body to protect him.
Immediately after that, a fireball fell towards the ground.
It seemed as if a rain of fire was soaking the ground at the great number.
Kwa Gwa Kwang – Boom!
A crater formed around Ray with a tremendous roar. The goblin’s body was nowhere to be found.
* * *
Herio felt his hair stand on end as the saint suddenly ran out with a group of goblins.
“Sir Seongjae!”
What were you thinking, just taking that many goblins with you! No matter how strong he was, it was too reckless.
This is because a wizard must have someone to buy them the time needed to cast spells or gather mana.
However, he alone took a group of goblins and ran forward.
Herio gritted his teeth and shook his head. I couldn’t get out of bed now. If you try to leave your seat, you may lose your life for nothing and be of no help.
‘I’m sorry, saint! Forgive me for my disrespect!’
Deciding to give up the saint and protect everyone, he cut down the goblins that swarmed around him.
However, he soon realized that his thoughts were wrong as the scene unfolded in front of his eyes.
This is because more than ten sparks appeared around the saint in an instant.
The spark did not stop there. 10 became 20 and 20 became 50.
I got goosebumps even as I slashed the goblins in increasing numbers.
Except for Herio, those who were surprised by the enormous mana felt in front of them looked at the source of the mana.
There, I saw a saint facing a group of goblins with hundreds of fireballs floating around.
“Oh my God…”
“Heo Eok… My God…”
Those who were looking for God came one after another. As the size of the fireball increased, did his faith grow as well? It definitely won’t be like that.
It would be correct to say that I came to rely on God for the unrealistic things happening right in front of my eyes.
The number of fireballs Ray created was absurd.
Even Iriel was stunned by the sight.
‘Did you eat the elixir instead of water!’
It is not unreasonable for her to think this way.
Otherwise, that amount of mana would be impossible.
No, there may be a few wizards who can do it, but they won’t be able to sow them as if they were summoned in an instant like now.
Even if the incantation is omitted, isn’t it necessary to shout the starter word 100 times?
If you want to create it like Ray, it doesn’t make sense unless you have a magic tool in your mouth.
