Chapter 413 – Mental Illness (4)
What I found out by interrogating the hypnotized Xuanzang was quite useful.
“I heard this guy’s employer got a quote? I was told that you could roughly guess where it would be. They seem to be waiting until tomorrow, fearing that if they recklessly attack, the golden wolf will notice and kick them out.”
“I know because I heard it from the side. But even these guys don’t know the direction.”
“You wouldn’t have told Takari.”
“Finally back to the original position. Would you rather wait one night?”
Veronica said, looking at the now completely dark forest.
If you make light with magic, moving is not difficult, but finding a hidden nest in an unfamiliar place was obviously close to impossible.
“No, no problem. I just need to chase after the runaway goblin.”
I carved a rune to enhance my senses on my forehead.
Originally, it was to be left to Fran, who received a racial buff, but it is not impossible to detect if our dicks are dirty.
I had to concentrate like knitting, and the detection efficiency was not good compared to Fran, so I shared the role.
“Do you think there is a golden wolf in that goblin’s nest? Why?”
“Goblins tend to have a strong sense of territory. If we let this area be controlled, the nest would be around here, and the direction Kharuk fled to is also that way. Wouldn’t it be worth following?”
“How did you plan to stop the golden wolf from detecting your presence and running away?”
“You will know that when you go. If I’m right, just wearing a stealth mask would suffice.”
Veronica and I put on rune-engraved goblins and ran after the smell of Karuk’s pig’s blood.
The goblin’s nest was at the entrance to the canyon. I hung my tongue when I saw the group of goblins encamped in front of it.
“A lot. I can see why you didn’t attack right away.”
At a glance, there were more than 10 of them. It was quite a lot for the expenses.
No matter how fast you try to get rid of them and open the entrance, there will surely be a commotion.
‘Even if it’s cleaned with magic, it won’t even stop the noise.’
Even those who found this place would have retreated, thinking that the golden wolf might run away if that happened.
But I had no intention of waiting for them.
Push Yii Ik—!
Sleeping gas was sprayed from top to bottom. The mana that had sunk into the canyon covered the goblins like fog.
… Thump!
As the sleeping gas spread, the goblins fell asleep one by one. Biochemical weapons are so great.
“If the golden wolf is a mutant, it might notice the mana. How about going right in?”
“Yes. I say so.”
It couldn’t be helped if you opened your eyes and jumped out. Given how wide the canyon is, finding and plugging all the dog holes that might be there wasn’t realistic even for us.
‘It would be best to set a trap, but I said I’m not stupid enough to fall into an amateur’s trap.’
Edlin said that he had to use his wisdom to catch it, but just as the body suffers when the head is bad, the head suffers when the body is bad.
‘Why use your brain when you can become physical?’
I wonder if the people who followed me had this kind of mindset.
Don’t relax and let’s go.
─Pu-wook!
She cut the throats of sleeping goblins before entering the nest.
My conscience was pricked when I tried to slaughter those without resistance, but if I left a group of goblins like this alone, there would be human casualties.
I am a macho whose dream was to become a doctor who treats animals, but I must not forget the premise of ‘people 〉 animals’.
The veterinarian who treated the man-eating tiger would have nothing to say even if he was imprisoned. After all, they are monsters.
“Nimi Abbitable. Next time, you too should be reborn as humans or dwarves.”
I wish you all the best in reincarnation gacha.
All it takes is elves, all elves.
─Sabak.
I got rid of the goblins outside and went right into the nest. We forbade small talk and proceeded inward with silent steps.
“Kiyaaaaa!!”
“Gayyyyyyy!!”
But we soon realized we didn’t have to walk carefully, for these retard goblins hadn’t slept long into the sun.
“Why don’t you guys sleep with the lights off? Are you children of darkness?”
I was too lazy to wield a spear in this confined space, so I just coated my bare fists with mana and swung them. Even if you brushed against it, the goblin’s torso would explode, so you didn’t have to stop.
─Two kwa kwa kwa kwa kwak!!
It looked like a stagnant person who came to the low rep dungeon to help.
To put it bluntly, it’s not even a wrong expression. Because I was confident that I would be at least a bonehead. And even if you only take the silver class, it will attract the attention of the average goblin.
A slippery adventurer catching goblins? Ugh, can there be such a geek?
Tuquaaang—!!
“Gyaaaaah!! (It hurts!!)”
As I swept away the goblins blocking my path, I spoke to Veronica, who was following me well.
“Veronica! When you enter, immediately
“I’ll do it if you ask me to, but I don’t have the confidence to work hard!”
“There will be nothing to do! Just use some defense magic!”
Although Veronica lacked strength compared to her stamina, I rushed into the depths of the nest without worrying.
“M~ Rio!”
I left Veronica at the entrance and jumped to draw aggro.
As I aimed, the arrows of the goblins only flew at me. I raised my hand blade and swung my arm.
Blood Demonic Art
Phoenix Wing
He hit the arrow and landed. The goblin, who seemed to be the leader, was making a dumbfounded expression. It was the first time the goblin’s expression looked so graspable in her hand.
“Are you King? Or hops? Hmm. Neither.”
It’s small for a goblin king, and it doesn’t even look like a hobgoblin.
Hobgoblins and goblins are actually different creatures. There will be bigger differences than bonobos and gorillas.
Perhaps it is the offspring of the king that Nefertiti was said to have beaten. It’s unlikely that the monster-like master missed the remnants, so it must have been a guy who moved away from home a long time ago.
“… Tilt angle! Kyarugak! (…Human! Strong!)”
The Goblin Prince (tentative name) ordered Takari to bring the sword. Just by looking at the baby, he’s at the level of a general.
But my eyes were nailed not to him, but to a bundle of golden fur trapped in a shabby cage nearby.
─Break it!
Veronica suddenly appeared in front of the heavily bristled wolf. The head of the goblins looked around her as if he had noticed her disappearing from her entrance, and yelled as if he had spotted it.
“Kyaaaaagh!!!”
“Tsk. It is noisy.”
Veronica carried the whole golden wolf tightly tied with a rope and
“… Was the wolf we were looking for an immature cub? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t know either. No, maybe no one knew?”
If there was information that it was a wolf cub in the sighting information, Edlin would have explained it too.
This wolf was most likely not the one in the discovery report.
‘It must be the baby of the golden wolf that was sighted. Did he inherit the genetic traits of the mutant?’
Perhaps this guy’s mother or father was a golden wolf, and he was accidentally found by a human.
But looking at the current situation, it was hard to think that he would be alive. Whether it was hunted by someone in the past or died naturally, maybe the golden wolf that was the boss died and only his pack remained.
So, when the boss’s offspring was captured by the goblins, it seemed that a life-or-death decision had taken place between the wolves and the goblins.
‘Wolves have a strong sense of territory. If a pack of wolves like that invaded the goblins’ Nawabari, it would be awkward unless there was a reason.’
So I thought that the boss of the wolf pack or the boss’s wife was a golden wolf and had been forcibly captured by the goblins.
But now it seems that the dead golden wolf cub has been captured by the Goblin King’s offspring. He’s a very wolf and goblin, and he did a good job educating his children.
“Gyaaaaa!! (Give it to me!!)”
─Thump thump thump!! The Goblin Prince knocked on the wall of my Blood Magic Attack.
However, the fake Thor’s electric fryer beam is also a shield that developed the defensive power that it endured. Does it make sense to break through this much?
─Exactly!
I snapped my fingers and gave the shield properties.
“〈 Dragon Lighting 〉 that has become invincible.”
Even if the chant was omitted, it was polite to recite the name of the technique. Blue mana ferociously flew sparks.
Bao oh oh oh-!!
The mana of the lightning changed completely and became the shape of an oriental dragon. It is a new technique that mixes the shock wave technique used by Xuanzang with the design modeled on by the little boy Elf that he messed up the other day.
Kwurrrr.!!
Splashing shockwaves and electric fire, the lightning dragon ran amok from its lair.
As the sparks exploded, the sight of the Thunder Dragon creating a lightning storm was a spectacular sight. Except for the visuals of the fried monsters and the burnt smell, it seemed like it would be well received even if it was screened in a movie theater.
However, that was the evaluation I made in terms of safety, and even if the dragon brushed against or came close, the goblins drew a string of thread all over their bodies and burned brightly and darkly like an Oscar trophy.
─Pasasak!
Even the goblin prince, who had endured, could not stand it for 3 seconds and turned into tall charcoal.
“Ugh, gross.”
I snapped my fingers and fired a shockwave. ─Puck! As the shock wave, similar to an air bubble, spread, the Goblin Prince, who had turned into a lump of charcoal, was smashed like seaweed powder crumpled to sprinkle on rice.
“Yeah, as expected, magic is convenient for hunting trash mobs.”
As the range was increased, there was a flaw in the power and mana consumption, but this was enough for a wide area.
The Nords from a few months ago, which were cut and killed one by one, went to Ode instead.
Warriors are the people of heaven. Let everyone aim for the electrical department rather than the Taereung Athletes Village and sell out.
I inspected the charred, shockwave-plowed cavern one last time. He even checked the charcoal that had escaped to the inside and nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Veronica. Is the remaining mana okay?”
“You sound natural. Would you like to go back?”
“Yes. We can have dinner at home.”
It’s good that it ended quickly without major trouble.
It was a problem that the Golden Wolf was the size of a Shih Tzu, but that wasn’t my fault, was it? Edlin will take care of raising them and eating them.
I hope that in the future there will be only comfortable things like today.
