Chapter 80 – Episode 80. Victory
Aaaaang
A large fireball shot from the school landed in the middle of the goblin army, causing a huge explosion.
As the power of the goblin army was concentrated on the place where our party was located, the guild side, which was relatively less burdened, started attacking instead of defending.
Perhaps there was a silver-level magician, but the power of the pouring fireballs seemed considerable.
The large fireballs falling between the goblins engulfed the surrounding goblins with a continuous loud explosion, and soon after the magic stopped, the guild members with melee weapons such as swords and axes began to attack.
Ten guild members rushing at them with white lights on their bodies.
It was the guild leader Sooah Lee’s buff skill from the previous event dungeon.
A huge buff skill that each showed exponential power.
The goblins collapsed helplessly as ten people rushed in and each brandished their weapons.
And, Isua was also slaughtering the goblins wielding a sword in the middle.
I thought you only gave buffs from behind, but you know how to fight in front, right?
They don’t just fight, they fight incredibly well.
Lee Soo-ah is slicing down enemies one by one with each sword, wearing the same white light as guild members with buffs on the sword she is holding.
As Lee Soo-ah and her guild members began to attack from the front, an aura of urgency began to form on the face of the goblin lord who was blocking our attack from the rear.
Now is the time.
I’ll have to push through at a time like this.
I reached out into the air and used the skill.
‘Army of the Dead’
Enormous amount of mana drained out, and ten skeletons clutching goblin daggers came up from the ground.
“K.E.K!! Keek!!”
“Keek!!!!”
Huh? Why are you doing that
I see the goblins backing away in fright upon seeing my skeletons.
My skeletons are so spooky in appearance. They are on par with normal goblins in terms of strength.
Why are you so scared?
Well, there’s nothing wrong with the enemy feeling fear and running away.
I gave the order to my skeletons to charge, then I grabbed my spear and charged at the enemies.
What.
Seeing the skeleton soldiers rushing at them, the goblins screamed and ran away.
It’s not like they get tangled up and fall over.
The goblin warriors held their ground as if they were willing to fight back, but their wobbly legs showed how frightened they were.
It seems like you’ve discovered a new ability of the ‘Legion of the Dead’ that you never thought of?
Thanks to this, we were able to quickly push the enemies and advance without much difficulty.
A small number of people, but each and every one of them are powerful subordinates of mine.
In addition, the skeleton soldiers who covered each individual’s weaknesses with teamwork, and even I, who was the weakest of the party but had stats that could chew on goblins, rushed at me, and the enemies died helplessly and began to fall and be pushed back.
The goblin lord turned some of the goblin soldiers strengthened with buff magic to counter Lee Soo-ah’s troops with an urgent face.
However, it is a mistake.
It was because when the number of goblins that were oppressing him decreased a little, Juniel quickly started pushing toward the goblin road again.
The Goblin Lord hurriedly returned the strengthened goblins to Juniel.
Juniel’s charge was stopped again.
Juniel was tied up, but me and my subordinates pushed in while slaughtering the goblins from behind. And skeleton gourds.
Lee Soo-ah and her guild members charge from the front wearing white light.
In terms of numbers, compared to the enemy, we were in a situation where we were crushing and suppressing a large army of goblins.
The Goblin Lord gritted her teeth and raised her staff.
Is it magic again?
As soon as it looks like it’s about to shoot at me, I’m going to jump right into the cradle of rest.
Even while swinging the spear, I glanced at the goblin rod, preparing to jump into the door of rest at any time.
However, the wand was swung toward Lee Soo-ah’s guild member, not ours.
Kwaaang kwaaang kwaaang
Three bolts of lightning flashed from the sky with a loud roar and were pierced toward Lee Soo-ah’s camp, and I could see the four guild members clad in white lights being bounced off.
Do you want that to stay alive? It’s a very powerful force.
Fortunately, Lee Soo-ah appeared to be unharmed.
However, he raised his sword high, looking at the goblin lord with burning eyes, probably angered by the sight of his comrades flying away.
The white energy formed on the sword swells and shimmers.
Oh wow what is that
It looks very powerful.
As Isuah slashes her sword down with all her might, she shoots a straight line of white light from her sword, extending toward the goblin rod.
A tremendous power that oxidizes goblins in the middle of the path.
The Goblin Lord hurriedly raised her staff and shouted something of her,
The white light that pierced her goblins, Rod blocked it with a translucent shield created in front of her.
Pakaang
A translucent shield that shatters with a cracking sound.
In addition, the staff split in half, and even the goblin rod bounced backwards.
“Keew!!!”
The goblin rod screamed and bounced off in the direction where Juniel was tied up.
I urgently sent an order to Juniel.
‘Juniel! Now!’
Juniel didn’t answer.
But, as if he had listened to my order correctly, ugly red smoke rose from Juniel’s body clad in black armor.
“Aaaaa!!!”
Juniel swings an ax in all directions with a spirited and surprising movement.
Even the buff-enhanced goblins were torn apart like pieces of paper.
Juniel, who jumped out at the speed of a bullet, ran to the Goblin Lord.
Whoa
The head of the Goblin Lord floated up from Juniel’s ax that was swung with a terrifying sound.
At the same time,
[You defeated a chief level monster for the first time. Experience from recent battles is doubled.]
[You have leveled up. Distribute skill points]
[You have leveled up. Distribute skill points]
A message flashed in front of my eyes.
Uh what
The first to defeat a chief level monster?
Combat EXP doubled?
It wasn’t easy, but that’s why it’s such a good benefit.
Thanks to that, the level that I didn’t climb well went up two steps at once.
Oops.
Now is not the time to be looking at messages.
The battle isn’t over yet.
I erased the message in front of my eyes and turned my eyes back to the battlefield.
But,
It seems that this place can no longer be called a battlefield.
The goblins who lost their leader are just being slaughtered in confusion, not knowing what to do.
I slowly approached the corpse of the Goblin Lord, looking at my subordinates and Isua’s guild members who were slaughtering the goblins.
Although he was the leader of the weakest monsters, Goblins, he was a difficult opponent.
He’s smart, and the magic he uses is powerful.
If we hadn’t helped, Lee Soo-ah’s guild would have collapsed.
With this, the plan to grace Lee Soo-ah and her guild seems to have been successfully completed.
Then, let’s take a look at the side income.
I started examining the goblin lord’s corpse.
The weapon he was using, the cane, was split in half while blocking Lee Soo-ah’s attack.
It was a good-looking cane, but it’s a shame.
I wish I could have given it to Shi-eun.
It’s a pity, but I can’t help it.
Searching the corpse’s bosom, nothing came out.
Is this dog hair?
All you had was shabby clothes and a cane?
Eh…
I sighed and got up from my seat.
At that time,
Something shiny caught my eye on the head of the goblin rod lying next to me.
An earring worn by the Goblin Lord.
A pair of small silver ring earrings that looked pretty shiny and classy, not matching the pathetic color.
Even though it was an accessory that did not suit a goblin lord, seeing that he was wearing it made me think that it was not just an item for dressing up.
I grabbed the goblin lord’s head and pulled out the earring.
A ring earring of a Goblin Lord with blood splattered on it.
If you wear it yourself and check the stats, you will know what options you have, but…
I don’t even have pierced ears, and I feel a little uncomfortable for some reason.
But don’t worry.
Because I have Dong-seok who is a great meat shield, driver, and test subject.
I sent a telepathic call to Dong-seok, who was supposed to be stuck somewhere.
While waiting for Dongseok to come, I looked around and noticed that most of the goblins were being organized.
There are goblin corpses everywhere.
A field of goblin corpses was created right in front of the guild, so Sua’s guild members would have to suffer quite a bit.
If you leave it alone, it will stink and be terrible.
Even if there are no bugs because it is early winter.
As I was thinking about this and that, Dong-seok appeared and trudged toward me.
I approached Dong-seok, handed him the earrings, and instructed him to put them on.
Dong-seok accepts his earring and puts it in his own ear, but can’t proceed any further than that.
Ah, they said that subordinates without reason were all stupid.
I can’t help it.
I received the earrings from Dong-seok again and put them on myself.
Dong-seok also doesn’t see a hole in his earlobe, probably because he had never worn an earring before.
But it doesn’t matter what
I forcefully rammed the earring into my earlobe.
Earrings that can be worn with a popping feeling.
Black smoke rises from the lobe of both ears of Dongseok.
I looked at Dongseok wearing earrings and opened Dongseok’s status window.
‘Ohhhhh!!’
A satisfied smile never leaves.
As expected, the earrings the goblin lord was wearing were items.
Increases int stat by 10 and mana by 100.
An item that doubles mana regeneration speed.
Would it be too expensive to buy this in the store?
I was disappointed because the cane was broken and it seemed difficult to expect extra income, but it’s such a good item.
This item… Should be given to Si-eun.
I was a bit sorry that I got stuck in the ring of protection I received as a prize in the event dungeon, but it worked out.
I received the earring from Dong-seok again, put it in my pocket, and treated Dong-seok’s ear lobe.
I looked around and saw no more animated goblins.
It was a pretty big battle, but I’m glad it ended well.
Ten skeleton soldiers and Sieun, Jiyoon, and Jisoo. And everyone, including Juniel, who was wearing black armor, came towards me.
“Everyone did a great job. Weren’t you hurt?”
At my words, Shi-eun stepped forward and said,
“Everyone is fine. What about your brother?”
“I have something that could hurt me. It’s okay.”
Charrrr
While I was talking with Shi-eun, Juniel unlocked the armor.
Looking at Juniel like that, I asked.
“What are the aftereffects of ‘exploitation’? Are you okay?”
He said that he used the ‘Berserk’ skill to slash the reinforced goblins and cut the Goblin Lord’s head, albeit briefly.
They said that all stats doubled, and it was definitely incredibly powerful.
Juniel answers my question with an expressionless face.
“It was only used very briefly. It’s just that my whole body is a little sore. Well, if I had used it longer, black smoke would have been pouring out of my body now.”
Certainly, it seems that it is not an easy skill to use with a living body.
Still, I really like the power.
It’s not that my body is sick, it’s because even if it hurts, Juniel is sick.
I will have to use it more often in the future
As I was roughly finishing the battle with my party, I heard a cry from one side.
Someone is sitting on the floor, holding their face, crying.
Sooah Lee.
The four guild members who were hit by the goblin lord’s thunderbolt magic didn’t seem to survive.
Sua Lee was weeping in front of her tanned corpse, and her guild members were comforting her.
Yea, true
It’s a grim sight.
I bit her tongue and waited for Soo-ah to stop crying.
Lee Soo-ah, who had been crying for a long time, seemed to have calmed down to some extent, and instructed her guild members to collect the bodies of the dead and approached the place where our party was.
Lee Soo-ah’s eyes were swollen and bloodshot.
She and her guild members, who had been following her as if escorting her, were startled and could not come any further.
Why are you doing that
Ah, our skull gourds.
It’s strange that he’s so scared even though he’s on the same team that defeated the goblins together.
I reached out my hand and swung forward, and the Skeleton Soldiers collapsed and disappeared as if they were sinking into the ground.
Only then did Lee Soo-ah and her guild members approach us as if they were relieved.
They came in front of me and bowed at 90 degrees.
“Thank you very much. Without Mingu’s help, our guild would never have been safe. Really, really, thank you again.”
Lee Soo-ah and her guild members nodded and bowed again.
My title has changed from ‘Mr. Mingu’ to ‘Mr. Mingu’ before I knew it.
I looked at them and said with a benevolent expression.
“Thank you. Wouldn’t it be natural for people like us to help each other and live?”
At my benevolent words and actions, Juniel puts on a rotten expression.
Oh wow that’s cheap
But it’s strange.
I think Sieun, Jiyoon, and Jisoo also made similar expressions to Juniel for a moment?
Must be an illusion
Anyway, after hearing my warm words, Lee Soo-ah and her guild members looked at me with moving eyes, and Lee Soo-ah stepped forward and spoke to me.
“Let’s go inside. It’s getting darker and darker… Mister Yooseong. I would like to ask Mingu and his companions for guidance. I’m going to tidy up this place and go in.”
“All right.”
At Lee Soo-ah’s command, a large middle-aged man guided us, and we were able to enter the guild’s stronghold, the school.
