Chapter 120: CH 119

“The innermost part is right inside!”

The commanding officer informed me and Liddy-san. There’s something like an entrance at the end of the hall.

“The two of you, guard here! We are going inside!”

The soldiers nodded and one after another, they quickly arrived next to each side of the entrance. I wonder if this squad is one of the most skilled when they cleared out the area. Well, otherwise, they wouldn’t be brought along to be Liddy-san’s escort. She is also our decisive weapon after all so it would be useless if she dies along the way.

When we barged inside, I found that the space was not as large as before but still, it is quite large. The soldiers quickly positioned themselves in front of us. Illuminated by the torches, I saw that there’s a great number of goblins inside and there is also a goblin that was much larger than the normal goblins. I’m not that tall myself but it is comparably taller than me. Just like the normal goblins, it doesn’t have clothes or armor but the goblin looked muscular.

That’s the boss huh. I’d rather call it a hobgoblin though.

“We’ll get rid of the small fries around it, I’ll leave the boss to you guys!”

“Alright!”

I also shout back hearing the commanding officer’s shout. It’s finally time huh. I gripped the handle of the spear tightly. The commanding officer and his men began to handle the goblins around the hobgoblin. The commanding officer cuts them down with a single sword strike, but the other soldiers took a little time to do so. The hobgoblin is not sitting idly either. Along with the goblins, it attacked the soldiers who have just handled their opponents and they are now barely able to save themselves.

I see, so this is why they retreated yesterday huh.

Unlike today, there must have been more of them yesterday. There are many goblins between us and the hobgoblin so we are not yet in a position where we can fight the hobgoblin. Despite its size, the hobgoblin moves very fast. I tried to attack the hobgoblin as I deal with the goblins several times but I could only hurt it a little. In this state, I will not be able to inflict a fatal wound on it.

If it hits the right place, this spear can easily pierce the opponent’s skin even if it is a little hard, but if it does not hit, there is nothing I could do. It’s vexing, but I could only wait for the chance for me to get in a position where I can quickly get close to the enemy and that could only be done once a path is made.

While we were fighting like this, the goblins dwindled in number and captain and the others could now hold them back, finally creating a path between us and the hobgoblin. Seeing that, Liddy-san and I quickly approached the hobgoblin.

It’s 2 versus 1. This is advantageous in terms of numbers but that doesn’t mean that I can just simply stab it with my spear and say “There, it’s over”.

To separate the goblins from the hobgoblin, I thrust my spear towards the hobgoblin. The hobgoblin avoided it quickly as expected. At the same speed as that, I pulled back my spear and stabbed it again. I’m not expecting that I’ll hit it like that though. The hobgoblin also keeps a distance after it dodges it. By repeating this, I managed to create a distance between the hobgoblin and the goblins.

Of course, in between that, the hobgoblin also attacks me. If it aims at me, I’ll take a few hits at worst, but I can’t let that happen if it aims at Liddy-san. And since there’s also interference from the goblins, I could only defend frantically.

Whew-, it’s great that I was given combat cheat as well….

Without this cheat, it wouldn’t be possible for me to fend off the enemy while protecting someone. I thanked her(?) in my heart. Then at that moment, I thought that I heard a giggling voice saying, “You’re welcome”.

Eventually, I was able to pull the hobgoblin to a distance where the goblins could not get in the way. It’s now Liddy-san’s turn.

“What should I do now?”

While fending off against the hobgoblin’s attack, I asked Liddy-san for instructions. I tried to get rid of it but it’s quite difficult to do because I’m still looking after Liddy-san.

“Eizou-san please try to keep the monster from moving as much as possible. I’ll make preparations in the meantime. Please get down when I give you the signal.”

Liddy-san replied with a clear voice. I nod to express my understanding. But it’s fine if I kill it right? Uh-, I swallowed back my words. When I took a closer look, I saw that the wounds I made just now is already closing up. Could this be――

“It’s healing itself with magical power!”

I instinctively said so. This time, Liddy-san nods at my words.

“It can’t recover like that with pure magical power but if there is stagnant magical power, it will heal like that.”

So this is why it took so long for the soldiers to kill the goblins. This is also the real reason why they couldn’t kill the hobgoblin even though they came in large number yesterday. This is really troublesome.

There’s no point in complaining though. I have to deal with this hobgoblin until Liddy-san finishes her preparations. I thrust my spear with an intention to kill it but it’s difficult as it’s too fast and it could also recover. It’s different from the bear. If so, it’s time to increase the number of moves so that it can’t do anything else.

Aiming at it is the second priority, I focused more on the number of moves I can do. Occasionally, I hit the hobgoblin and manage to wound it but it won’t take long for that wound to heal.

Instead of just waiting to be killed, the hobgoblin also focused on me before it attacks. When it aimed at Liddy-san a couple of times before, I was able to make an attack that would have killed it if I hit it. I don’t know if it have any feelings, but probably because of that, I think it must have been very scared. At least it seems to be capable of learning.

I thrust my spear once again and seeing a slight opening, it throws a kick at me. The kick was so sharp that it makes a whooshing sound. If it hits me, I will not be in a state where I can continue the battle. I twisted my body to dodge it, I then pulled the spear and thrust it out again but it also dodged it.

How long did it go on like this?

Well, I don’t know the exact time because I’ve been waging my life all this time. But I think, at least about quarter of an hour has passed. Then Liddy shouted,

“Please get down!”
