Chapter 194: Chapter 192: The goblin lair: the goblin pantheon
Rein took so step back and passed for the first ti.
The goblins were of course beginning to fall back, they were already scared.
Rein looked around, ’I’ve lost sight of the goblin mage, did he run’
Rein was especially careful of the feeling in his guts.
’I have not sighted a hobgoblin and even the goblin mage that was here has disappeared, sothing is fishy’
{Correct}
’Do you know what it is’
{No}
’...you are becoming useless these days’
{Goblins are race of monsters that are cunning and greedy, they are few particular strong races like hobgoblin, red goblin and King goblin}
{Goblin race and all other monster race has a guardian exarch}
’What is an exarch?’
{A servant of a god, more powerful than humans or other monsters less powerful than gods}
{Most cases they are always the first to surpass their limit}
{The gods then grant them more power and make them an exarch}
{An exarch may be called quasi-gods}
{The quasi-god of the goblin is Maglubiyet}
{I highly suspect he is present here}
{But I have no idea what is going on}
’...as expected of my brilliant Ariel, how did you dig up so much information?’
{I had an upgrade fix while with great sage}
’Really? But I didn’t feel anything’
{You can’t, it was from the source}
’...’ Rein was silent for a mont, ’Well, I guess I will have to retre-. Damn, a quasi-god... it sounds exhilarating’ Rein faced Thurber who had jacked out of his trance already.
"Look here Thurber, I want you to go"
A shadow ca out from the floor and turned to Rein, "I’ll leave him to you godeye"
"Wow, I didn’t expect you to figure it out imdiately" godeye admired the body and the feel of air as he talked.
"It consus alot of mana, and I don’t have much mana, that thing will only last fifteen minutes"
"That’s plenty"
Thurber was surprised by what was in front of him, "...t-t-two..."
Godeye grabbed Thurber and ran off.
"Oi, black sword. I’m not joking now you better wake up" Rein pulled out the black sword which began to discharge black sparks as he pulled it out.
"Line slash" Rein cut of the rest of the goblins with his one slash, even the surrounding cave walls were affected.
"...good, having leveled up the skill, it seems it rage of effect has increased"
Rein closed his eyes, "remote-sensing"
Rein began to carefully observe his surrounding with his eyes closed.
"It’s faint...but it’s enough"
Rein ran forward with his speed and crashed into the wall. He ca out of the other side.
"Huh, it’s a tunnel"
Rein ran ahead imdiately with his full speed, without flashspeed though.
’...the structure of this cave is weird, I’ve been running in this cave for 90 seconds, when I run at my highest speed, I run 30m in one seconds... then so far so good, it’s been 2.7 km...this cave is definitely far, it’s not even 2km from Thurber’s house to this cave. I should get ready for the worst.’ Rein stopped in front of the large door that was before him.
"A dungeon?..."
He pushes the door open, as it opened two hobgoblins jumped at him, he quickly jumped back. The door closes as he jumped away, leaving him and the two hobgoblins outside.
"No doubt about it...these guys are definitely hiding sothing..."
Rein pulled out black sword and dashed at them, he went in with a straight strike applied with his speed, but the hobgoblin deflected it with the axe in its hand.
’Huh? It deflected that?...’ Rein was surprised, he crouched and leapt made an arc cut, but the other goblin bent down to weave and went for Rein’s stomach with a punch.
Rein caughtbthe punch with his bare hands a breathe away from his stomach.
"...you guys seem promising" Rein grinned. He crushed the hobgoblin’s fist with his bare hands.
"Aaaaaargggggghhhhhhh" The goblin staggered back as it cried aloud. Rein imdiately, not wasting on second jumped to a height where his legs were equal to the other hobgoblin’s head, he striked down but the hobgoblin blocked and fell down on one knee from the pressure of Rein’s strike. Rein threw in a spinning kick, the hobgoblin jumped away from his range, Rein also used the spinning kick to fly backwards.
’...I wonder if these hobgoblins are stronger than the orc chief I fought’
{No}
’...hmm...’
{It was impossible to defeat the orc chief at your level then}
’...I know, you didn’t have to point it out. It was thanks to the beastwill I obtained from Belet’
Rein exhaled. "Alright, let’s wrap this up quick"
"Urrukkwaaakk" The hobgoblin Rein crushed his fist, wore a very angry expression as it spoke.
"I think he’s very angry"
"Urrruuuukkiiyaah!!" The hobgoblin ran towards Rein.
"Flashspeed"
s??????
The hobgoblin shivered, with Rein’s sword coming out of his belly. Rein had appeared and stabbed him from behind.
Rein pulled out his sword from the hobgoblin, it imdiately dropped to the ground. "I know you can’t understand
but, you guts really thought I was your mate?"
The other hobgoblin that was holding an axe, calmly observe Reinard and did not loose its composure, he tightened his hands on his axe as Rein ca closer.
Rein suddenly paused, he spat and looked at the hobgoblin, "I feel irritated that I had to draw my sword... no wonder black sword won’t answer "
{Correct}
{To better put: Black sword is a ego weapon, it’s ego is from the fragnt of a deity’s soul, it’s natural that it should feel insulted to cut goblins}
"...I see, it’s just like Huemac said, I don’t understand my powers. But this sudden sense if superiority I’m feeling what could have triggered it?" Rein faced the hobgoblin again, "kneel"
The hobgoblin was imdiately forced to its knee by unknown pressure, it’s weapon fell off and the more it’s struggled the higher the pressure, till its cheeks was pressing into the ground.
{Your authority slowly becos vivid}
{Target has lost will to fight...}
"...Instant kill"
The hobgoblin’s hand fell to the floor as he lost his life in that instance.
anwhile***********
A Grey colored hobgoblin with a silver plate Armour suddenly rose up from the round table.
"What is it, Nomog-Gaeya" Grankhal, a bugbear asked.
"I just lost two of my n...besides didn’t the rest of you feel that brief pressure just now" Nomog-Gaeya, the war general and General of the hobgoblins said.
"Uh, I did" Hrugek, the second quasi-god, an exarch and leader of all the bugbear races worldwide said.
Maglubiyet grinned, his brown teeth spread wide open. "It must be a bluff, there is no way those guys are still alive. Master said they personally saw to the purgatory of all deities."
"That is true" Hrugek concurred.
"But Master, should we just leave him to enter you realm?" Nomog-Gaeya said to Maglubiyet with his head bowed.
"Since he has co this far, let him enjoy himself a little bit more" Maglubiyet smiled.
"With that we will continue the pantheon eting" Bagrivyek another goblin said. But unlike other goblins, the mbers of the pantheon that all sat together, were not short, a normal goblin was about 3ft tall, but Bagrivyek was 7ft tall, Maglubiyet was 11ft tall, Khurogobeyang who was the goblin king of the lair Rein attacked was muscular and 9ft tall.
The three of them were the only three goblin race of the pantheon, Nomog-Gaeya was a hobgoblin, a sub race and Ghankul, Skigaret and Hrugek were bugbears, also a distinct subrace but because they were outbreeds they don’t often like to term themselves a subrace of the goblin race.
Just how Maglubiyet was the first and great leader of the goblin race who beca an exarch so also Hrugek was also the first and great leader of the bugbears who beca an exarch. Both of them served the sa god.
Khurogobeyang started, "It is a beautiful plan but we lack man power, which is why I have always said lord Maglubiyet, we should focus more on spreading, breeding than acquiring resources, but this damn goblin Bagrivyek thinks he has a better idea, just because he was trusted with the responsibility of an order bringer, he thinks he is king over all goblins world-wide, I hate it"
Bagrivyek sighed.
Khurogobeyang imdiately lanted, "see!! There he goes again lord Maglubiyet, treating
as though I don’t have any sense"
Maglubiyet gave Khurogobeyang a stare, he imdiately cald down.
"I’m sorry my lord" he quieted imdiately.
"Bagrivyek" Maglubiyet called out to him
"Yes my lord?" He answered with his head bowed.
"Do you take light if Khuro?"
"Never my lord, he is my elder brother. Besides that you have assigned
with the task of keeping order, I cannot be the one that brings disruption to the floor of that order"
"There you go Khuro"
"Thank you my lord" Khurogobeyang Bows.
Hrugek scoffs.
Maglubiyet looked at him and ignored, he instead faces Bagrivyek, "so what is your plan towards the purgatory of this city called Po-po-...what is it again?"
"Potram, my lord"
"...humans and their naming sense, they could have nad it sothing like Eurangyeonget or Tebenticovi, I can never understand those guys...you can continue Bagrivyek"
"Yes Master, if we compare the level of their adventurers to our high level warriors, it’s in fact incomparable, we are are stronger than they are, take for example, close to fourteen of them would gather to co hunt down a section led my one of Khuro’s underling King and would barely even win"
"Hmmm..." Maglubiyet rubbed his rough chin as he listened to Bagrivyek’s report, "but I hear the humans are really plenty"
"Yes they are but most of their population are harmless, our only problem is not having much information on their governing bodies but worst case scenarios would be easy for you or lord Hrugek to take care of"
"Hmm.... I see I see...then we sh--"
??????????????????!!
??????s??????!!
The door of the room they were in ca crashing down as multiple goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears crashed into it.
"Fucking shamans, I knew mages were not going to be easy for ..." Rein complained as he ca out from the smoke caused by the door crash, he ca out of the smoke fully and grinned, "bonjour les têtes de viande"
