FWISH! SWOOSH!
A golden figure streaked across the battlefield like a bullet out of a gun.
The figure moved so fast that it broke the natural sound barrier. Even the monsters only saw a blur—an outline of a human—before they found themselves falling apart.
There was no pain. So of them still couldn't even understand how they died or what had killed them, but they were certain it had to do with the golden figure.
But that was it.
Knowing their killer didn't change anything.
Naturally, that golden figure was Nox, and currently, [Divine Velocity] was in full swing!
[Ding! You've killed…]
[Ding! You've leveled up… You've reached Level 40!]
Nox would have been very excited about this ssage if not for the dire situation. Blazy could be in danger—he needed to hurry!
"It should be closer to the portal, but the distance is still quite far."

When Nox and the others had arrived, they had thought the portal was nearby. However, they couldn't have been more wrong. The reason the portal had appeared closer was due to the sheer size of the battlefield and the distortion of space around it. The chaotic energy fluctuations made it seem much nearer than it actually was. Now, as Nox sped across the battlefield, carving a path through the horde, he realized the truth—he was still miles away.
Nox barely took a step forward before he sensed two presences obstructing his path. These presences were noticeably stronger than all the monsters he had faced so far, so he had to temporarily slow down despite his eagerness to just rush past them.
A trio of figures walked out from the horde of monsters, clad in dark crimson armor adorned with jagged spikes. Despite their small, nimble fras, they exuded a dangerous aura. Unlike the mindless beasts that had fallen like wheat before a scythe, these creatures had intelligence, cunning, and—most irritatingly—a sense of amusent.
Three female red goblins stood before him, each brandishing curved daggers and leering at him with sharp-toothed grins. Their eyes glowed with eerie amusent as they took in the youth who had reduced the battlefield to a graveyard of monsters.
One of them, the tallest, ran a clawed hand through her short, spiky red hair and licked her lips as she said in a sultry voice, dripping with amusent, "Well, well, girls, what do we have here? A handso one."
The second goblin, who had a sharp scar running down her cheek, let out a giggle. "Mmm~ And so strong, too. How about it, handso? You must be tired from all that running around. Why not let us… take care of you?"
The third, the shortest but most muscular, chuckled darkly, twirling her dagger between her fingers. "We could give you pleasure, wealth, whatever you desire. Join us, and we'll make you a king among goblins."
They sauntered forward, hips swaying seductively, their movents designed to entice.
Nox, however, felt nothing but revulsion. His cold gaze bore into them, utterly unaffected by their pathetic display.
"Disgusting." His voice was flat, void of emotion.
The tallest goblin, clearly the leader, pouted. "Oh, don't be like that, handso—"
She didn't get to finish.
Nox moved.
In less than a blink, he was behind them.
FWISH! SQUELCH!
The leader's head flew from her shoulders, her body still stepping forward before it realized it was dead. A fountain of dark blood erupted into the air.
The scarred one gasped, but before she could even process what had happened—
SLASH!
Her torso was cleaved in two, entrails spilling onto the blood-soaked ground.
The muscular goblin scread in rage, swinging her dagger wildly—
CRACK!
Nox's hand shot out, gripping her skull. Before she could struggle, he crushed it like an overripe fruit.
Her lifeless body slumped to the ground, twitching.
[Ding! You've killed—]
Nox didn't bother to listen. He simply flicked the goblin blood off his blade and continued forward, his mind already on Blazy.
These distractions were becoming annoying.
Fortunately for him, thanks to his absurd speed, he soon arrived at the spot.
What he saw made his body tremble in anger.
His suspicion was right.
Blazy was indeed in danger, and he had to act fast.
"I guess I'll have to face this monster," Nox sighed.

anwhile, on the battlefield, the commander had arrived—and he wasn't alone. He had brought reinforcents.
The soldiers began chanting in excitent when they saw them.
"Commander Luthair!"
As soon as Luton saw the man, he exclaid, his voice a mixture of relief and shock. He hadn't expected the commander to show up just like that. He thought it was only the reinforcents that would arrive.
Commander Luthair was the head of the Tristan Kingdom military. Not only that, but he was also a formidable expert at Level 120.
His strength would have been instruntal against the beast, which brought up the question—why had he been absent in the first place?
The reason was that Commander Luthair had been busy handling neighboring enemy factions who wanted to take advantage of the kingdom's current predicant.
After the portal broke open and hordes of terrifying monsters burst forth, several factions inside the kingdom had conspired to extort it while its full attention was on combating the monsters.
Unfortunately for them, all of their efforts were wasted, as Luthair had intercepted them.
"Where is Nox? From your description, I don't see him anywhere."
As he said this, Luthair's eyes scanned the area, taking note of the Tristan soldiers, the students, and... sothing stranger.
Beast fighting against beast.
'Those must be his minions.'
"He went inside so minutes ago."
"I see."
Luthair was silent for so ti, his sharp gaze on the horde of monsters. But at the sa ti, it felt as if he was overlooking the beasts and focusing on sothing else.
Just a split second later, Luton noticed the commander's eyes shrink in horror as if he had just witnessed sothing terrifying.
"I've brought reinforcents, but I don't think the reinforcents will be enough for the boss monster."
"The… the boss monster? You see it?" Luton stamred.
"Yes, and we'll need all the help we can get." Luthair stated, his brows knitted together and his expression serious. "Find the best of the best here. I want us to assist that boy… He's strong, but can he handle a Legendary-tier monster all by himself?"
