Chapter 169: Against Hordes of Goblins
-----
Frank's party, the Monarchs of Unity, the Golden Lions, and the Storm Chasers walked towards the Goblin Dungeon, as many of the adventurers glanced at them with admiration, surprise, hope, and envy.
Most of the townspeople also knew what they ca to do, and gave them many types of glares, although most of them seed hopeful.
Reaching the entrance of the Goblin Dungeon, the three parties were greeted by several soldiers guarding the entrance.
"Oh, you must be the parties that have co to defeat the Goblin Champion and Goblin King, right?" asked one of the soldiers, a dog-kin beast-man.
"Indeed, we are the Monarchs of Uni-" muttered Frank, as he was interrupted by Rabrudion.
"Golden Lions heard the call for help, and here we are," said Rabrudion.
"And the Storm Chasers as well, where people require our help, we chase," said Grandwing.
"(Was there any need for those mottos?) I-I see… well, you can co in- Oh, you must be the… newbie party, what is your na?" asked the soldier.
"I am Frank… And we are the Monarchs of Unity," said Frank with a confident nod.
"Monarchs of Unity? What a pretentious na for so newbies…" said the soldier.
"We are not newbies at all, Lucas, watch your tongue," said Gwendolyn, as the soldier recognized Gwendolyn as one of his forr soldier superiors in the military school!
"Ah… G-Gwen! N-Nice to et you! I didn't… an to say that at all!" said the dog-kin man, Lucas.
"Eeeh? So Lucas is working as a guard now? And he's still Rank 1…" said Vheslia teasingly.
"V-Vheslia too?! I-I… S-Sorry about saying that…" said Lucas.
"Yeah, you better be," said Gwendolyn, as the party walked downstairs through the dungeon, leaving the dog-kin man with a big of surprise… the two forr soldiers that were always respected by the whole class were now working as adventurers!
"Why have they beco Adventurers so late? …Wait, was that Gwen's daughter there?!" wondered Lucas, noticing the little fox girl who he had ignored before… even such a little girl had greater cultivation than him…
For a mont, he could not help but feel like a pathetic old man.
The three parties marched through the Goblin Dungeon, as Frank began to use his Overseeing Light Eye, combining it with Stealth, Camouflage, and Silence so he could not even be detected by most beings, and sent t around the Dungeon, using Mapping to quickly get ahold of the dungeon's structure.
Although the Storm Chasers and the Golden Lions seed well acquainted with the dungeon and knew very well where the monsters were, as they sensed their presence from afar.
Frank communicated with Telepathy with his party.
"There's a large group of Goblins ahead… around twenty of them… but it seems that the Golden Lions who are leading the charge will most likely get rid of them, I cannot detect any other strong presence, the two seem to be deep into the dungeon, and they had most likely left several squadrons like these to weaken us," said Frank, as his group nodded in understanding.
"Let's keep our guard high," said Gwendolyn.
"Indeed, let's do it," said Vheslia.
"Nii-sama…" muttered Kai, she seed a bit nervous.
"Don't worry, stick with , Kai, I will protect you," said Frank with a confident smile, the power he leaked was nothing to scoff at, calming down a few of Kai's nerves.
Alongside Frank's party, there was also Ruby, Zhulong, Nezhit, and Zero, whom they had already introduced to the Golden Lions and Storm Chasers.
Although Nezhit and Zero seed a bit strange, the two groups did not felt any threat from them due to their very low Mana Auras, and Ruby and Zhulong were nothing much either, aside from their oddly pale skin and black armor, clothes, and weapons… and well, Nezhit's strange skull-shaped mask, which they acted a bit surprised at, but it wasn't as if they had not seen edgy pieces of armor before.
Ruby and Zhulong were seen with a bit more of surprise, but both the Golden Lions and the Storm Chasers were very experienced, and could not be easily surprised by tad monsters as much as common folk, they had seen more monster tars before, and Frank could not even compare to so of them, whose creatures made up an entire army of their own.
"GRRYAARRRR…!"
"GGRROOO!"
"GRYAHAHA!"
"There they are! Let us ravage them to pieces!" laughed Rabrudion, marching with his party and unleashing a storm of spells over the twenty armored Goblins that greeted them, quickly pulverizing them into pieces without the goblins even standing a chance!
Frank glanced at Rabrudion's might, as he was able to coat himself on a powerful crystal armor, enhancing his strength and defenses!
The roaring lion-kin man pulverized his foes with enormous might, crushing them into the ground while laughing aloud!
After a few seconds, nothing remained but the crushed corpses of the goblins scattered all over.
"Nothing much," laughed Rabrudion, as Grandwing glanced a this with a bit of disgust.
"What a lack of refinent…" he sighed.
"Well, to be expected of the lion," said lodia.
"Indeed," said the crow man in the party.
"I can feel more presences, let's advance further, or we won't be able to catch up with Rabrudion!" said the Dove woman of the group, as the four birds flapped their wings and flew towards the scene.
Frank quickly saved the corpses and mana cores left behind by Rabrudion and rushed with his party, chasing the other two fast-moving parties.
"Another squadron?" asked Gwendolyn.
"Seems like… but there are even more goblins… and a few bigger ones. Well, if they are going to kill them all we don't have to work so hard… Although we are not like that, right? Follow , at least let's show them what we are made of!" said Frank.
"Yeah, they're way too pretentious!" said Annabelle.
"Let's show them a bit of our strength," said Cathyl.
"Ah! I can feel a lot of magic explosion nearby!" said Vheslia, the party finally crossed the corridor, reaching the area where the other two parties were!
A battlefield of magic explosions unfolded!
The Golden Lions and the Storm Chasers seem to have been greeted by many Mage Goblins, who rained them with long-ranged fireballs, water bullets, and wind spears, however, the two parties did not even doubt before showering them with their powerful long-ranged magic, annihilating many on the spot!
However, a group of Goblin Mages gathered around, generating a sudden charge of mana, and unleashing a powerful shower of blazing rocks, teors!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Exterminate those!" roared Grandwing, as his party was too busy evading and guarding against the enormous teors, while the Golden Lions were still dealing with the Goblin Warriors and Goblin Mages that were left!
Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!
"Alright!" said Frank, rushing with his party, slashing with his claws the goblins that approached him, as Gwendolyn unleashed powerful storms of fire, Vheslia a barrage of dozens of shadow bullets, Annabelle used her fire whips to unleash Whip Techniques, entangling the goblins and making them hit each other while burning them, Asterion and Cathyl used their axes and gust to unleash powerful storming slashing attacks, Hilvera used her flying knives to stab goblins in the heads, and Kai used her holy light magic to generate light rays and holy light arrows, penetrating the chests and heads of the nearby goblins, reaching the group conjuring the teor shower and annihilating it on sight!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Grryaarrr…!"
Clash!
The Goblins were ravaged into pieces, as the magic circle was shattered into pieces, and the teor shower stopped!
The two other parties managed to defeat the Goblins they were fighting and managed to catch a break.
Even Rabrudion felt a bit surprised now, the amazing way Frank and his party fought was outstanding, especially because they did not need any chant to use their spells, sohow, and Frank also showcased amazing physical abilities and even shapeshifting magic to generate large claws and dark armor over his body.
However, as the prideful lion that he was, he decided to simply not think about it and decided to keep walking straight through the corridors.
"Thanks for the help, Frank… You impressed with the swiftness of your actions… We might have underestimated you a bit… Although… Rabrudion, don't you realize it?" asked Grandwing.
"So you did so as well…" said Rabrudion.
"Indeed, the Goblins… they felt stronger than before… Could this be the effect of the Goblin King? It was as if their strength had… doubled," said Grandwing.
"Wouldn't that be much of an exaggeration? But indeed, they did felt quite stronger than before… So what? We will trash them no matter what. I will not lose to these rookies, and I want my bounty. Let's go," said Rabrudion, walking with his party.
"Well, let's hope that things are… as he thinks… However, let us keep our guard high," said Grandwing, as Noah nodded in agreent while looking through the dungeon with his Overseeing Light Eye.
"Grandwing, I have a special spell that let see through places farther than my own sight… I can see several squadrons ahead, it seems that the Goblin King might be trying to tire us out until fighting us… and there might be other traps lying around, I hope you can let us bear so of the burdens in the battles ahead, so you don't tire out imdiately," said Frank.
"I see.. so you have a scouting spell… Very well then, Frank, you shall fight at our side," said Grandwing.
The party quickly reached a new corridor, larger than the rest, as they were greeted by two-ter-tall goblins packing with steel armor and weapons recently forged… and dozens of mages behind them!
"An army of Goblin Warriors and a squadron of mages behind? Hmm… These little monsters are beginning to use strategies now…!" roared Rabrudion in anger.
"Brace yourselves!" said Grandwing, raising his rapier as a storm of erald winds erged around him alongside many magic circles while he chanted a spell!
