Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Goblins, what are they good for?

As I was peeking over the ledge to the last two archer posts I heard someone at the bottom of my current tower shout out.

 

???: “Hey, you two idiots! The King wants to know if you have seen the missing scouts yet! Hello? I swear, if you two shits are sleeping again I’ll kill you myself.”

 

‘I can understand them? Also, fuck! So they already noticed the missing scouts? No, more importantly, what am I going to do?’

 

???: “You’re asleep up there again aren't you?! Damn it, that’s it.”

 

I then heard whoever was climbing up start to grumble about useless non-evolved. Meanwhile I was panicking in my mind trying to think of a solution.

 

‘I am caught, no matter what. I can’t fly over the other side as the other archers are already looking this way I bet. Fuck! Alright, best bet is to use Evil Ray. It should be enough to kill whoever is climbing up, right?’

 

Soon as I picked a course of action, I saw an ugly green hand grab the ledge of the floor, and heard another grunt as the goblin pulled itself up.

 

???: “Alright you shits, wake the-”

 

Before he could finish he saw me holding my sword at his head, and before he could properly understand what exactly was going on, I used my sword's ability.

A giant 3 metre diameter wide ray of black and red light blew out of my sword, and through the goblin, travelled the full length of the camp and rammed into the cliff side. It left a deep, smouldering hole in the solid stone.

 

Artoria: “Holy shit. Did not expect that. This dudes only a pair of feet now! Damn, that took a lot of mana though, 30% if I have the count right. Shit, what am I doing, no time for this!”

 

Snapping myself out of the fact that I obliterated a hobgoblin with total ease, I turned to the other archer posts and used Charge. Arriving at the still stunned goblin archers, I used 2-fold on both of them in quick succession. Confirming they were both dead, if not still looking fine, via the quest tracker I moved on to the last post.

 

One of the goblins snapped out of it though, and noticed me charging him. He had enough time to shout in surprise, but didn’t have time to fully draw his bow. After using 2-fold on him, I was forced to dodge as the second archer had drawn a dagger and swung at me.

 

After dodging his swing, I retaliated with one of my own. He went to block my tiny sword with his knife, fully confident that it’d stop my swing easily. While mid swing, I had a curious thought, so I activated 2-fold and swung with all my strength.

 

Much to my glee, red lines started to appear along the direction I had swung. From his left hip to his right shoulder. His knife was also cut in pieces, and already tumbled to the ground. As he died, I felt a little surge in my mana.

 

As I was turning to look at how many goblins would be rushing towards me, I got a notice. Looking and seeing I had more than enough time, I quickly read the alert.
