Chapter 70 - Against Goblins 2
-----
I was quite angered. I know that I shouldn't be, I know that it doesn't make sense. But as the insane and selfish idiot that I am, I got angry anyways.
My eyes flashed with crimson-red light, as my entire body unleashed a powerful aura, I reached to the Goblin General with the powerful Shadow Bending Skill in no time, while wondering how a mob could have such a Skill.
However, I quickly realized that many of the weaker Goblins also had pretty random Skills, some even had things such as Fireball, or others Demon Blood skills, some even had stuff such as Hydromancer… I think they were all randomized with Skills that could give them some kind of upper hand in battle, most likely to surprise me.
This one bastard had the powerful Shadow Bender Skill, giving it the ability to manipulate shadows, using them to even float in midair, coat weapons and control them in midair, and even give his shadows powerful vitality-draining curse effects.
I quickly told the tamed monsters led by Cuco to stay far away, unlike summons, if they were to die, they would die for real.
However, the Goblin General completely ignored anyone but me, seeing how I fried his weaker friend of the same rank seemingly made him surprised, annoyed, angered, and a bit terrified.
His ugly face glared at me as he gritted his teeth, in a quarter of a second he began to shower the entire place with shadow fragments, which were not damaging to anyone, but that moved around like slimes and caught the dropped weapons of his allies, bringing them upwards as flying projectiles.
A split of a second after, I was being surrounded by dozens of floating weapons coated in shadows!
However, I was already high into the sky, as I conjured [Infernal Flame Enhancement (B)], [Scarlet Winds Enhancement (B)], and [Crimson Ward (B)] from the Traits of my Equipment, enhancing my speed, damage dealt, and more while creating a crimson-red magic barrier around me.
"Grryyggaarr!"
The Goblin General quickly controlled the weapons to chase me down as he escaped from my furious charge, the weapons were shattered the moment they clashed against my crimson ward, but more and more continued to rush at me.
I began to charge Infernal Flare and generated ten mana bullets instantly, filling them with the Infernal Flare flames and creating enormous one-meter big spheres of flames, firing them at the Goblin at an incredible velocity!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
"NNNGGIIIH?!"
The Goblin General gritted his teeth in surprise, quickly making a turn in midair and trying to evade my attacks, but I used my power over them and a lot of Mana to control the bullets and track him down with them!
Of course, I wouldn't stop with those, why would I do so if I could fire even more?
And like that, I conjured more and more giant fireballs, ten at a time within a single second, firing and melting the weapons that the bastard fired at me, eventually, he finally made a mistake while flying and the flames reached him!
"GGRRRYAAAAGGGHH!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It quickly tried to fight back by using its shadows, but I didn't give it any second to rest, all the fireballs I had created rushed at him as if it were an infernal and never-ending onslaught of flames!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It released a last shriek of agony as the flames completely consumed his body, grilling it completely as it fell over the ground motionlessly… Gold, Soul Spheres, and even other smaller items quickly popped up out at the side of the Goblin General.
However, I had no time to care about the drop items, I glanced at the rest of the battlefield, as the Goblins didn't rest for a single second.
I aimed at them from the skies, forming more fireballs using Infernal Flare, firing explosive bomb jewels, using Dual Holy light Beam to fire powerful and burning beams of holy light, using Phantom Flare to generate blue-colored fireballs alongside the red-colored ones, and unleashing the power of sanguine blade over the entire masses, while my army of summons and tamed monsters at my back slaughtered those at the sides or that perhaps didn't reach to my range yet!
CLASH! CRASH! BOOM! FLAAASH!
An explosion of countless attacks covered the battlefield, our fierce onslaught decimated everything with a terrible slaughter. A sea of dropped items continued to accumulate as my EXP continued to pile up and I leveled up more and more…
Time went flying by, and without realizing it, it has been one hour since we began to fight.
Seeing the last goblin getting burned by one of my fireballs, I finally sighed in relief.
Ding!
[Your level has reached Level 50!]
Level 50 already? This is way too fast… But it is good, the faster I get stronger, the more time I will get to later relax as not many would dare to mess with me! I have to build a strong foundation so no run-of-the-mill villain would try to mess with me afterward!
But Is that it? I think that it won't be really like I hope, and even after reaching the pinnacle of mortal hood… I might end up needing to become even stronger, indefinitely!
Ugh, does this means that this will be an endless grind? Well, at the very least, it is quite fun.
…My own mind has indeed changed, to think that I find it "fun" to slaughter hundreds of monsters.
And Anna had already materialized once more, completely recovered.
The moment I saw her again, I felt a bit embarrassed that I got angry over something like this, as she was now back at full.
But instead, she simply hugged me.
"I am glad that master was worried about me, it makes me feel loved," said Anna, with a sweet smile.
"A-Anna…"
Her strong and warm arms were so warm that her hug left me stiff…
"Master! W-What are you doing with this lascivious squirrel woman?" asked Kireina, flashing at my side in her fairy form.
"Don't worry, Kireina, master can be shared by all of his summons~" said Anna.
"What did you said?!"
Kireina quickly hugged me as well, as the two women began to smother me between their arms and breasts…
