Chapter 8: Slaughtering Goblins

With just a single move, Kaiser Nysh Ragus felt quite satisfied, he looked at the goblins once more and knew they were scared and stifled by fear.

Since Nysh didn't know any other skill, he posed once again, this time, the goblins trembled and started fleeing from all directions or going down to their holes hidden by bushes.

"Too late." Nysh uttered as he dashed this time, not by pouncing.

He swung his sword and now, a rather powerful wave was unleashed from his sword's edges.

Before, he killed 14 goblins just by his sword's range, this time, he killed 18 even though the goblins were out of his sword's range. The energy wave from his sword reached about two meters wide.

Nysh puckered his lips: "It's quite different, but I guess that's normal since I'm only beginning to learn it."

After all, Bihyoho's same slash produced a wave of at least a kilometer at minimum, even cutting mountains in the process.

Looking at his surroundings, he can only see a few more goblins from the past hundreds of them: "Is it enough?"

He also pouted seeing that no trees were sliced by his slash, he shook his head and looked at the mission: "Oh right, I need to bring the heads of these goblins as proof."

Nysh started slashing at the goblin's heads and storing them in his adventurer bag.

Since there aren't many goblins anymore, he started leisurely doing his other quests, which were picking some herbs.

He also needs to get five Flying Arrow Fish.

An hour quickly passed, he was still within the goblin's territory, but within the riverbanks already.

He started catching some flying arrow fish that were aiming to put a hole in his body, its size was around two feet long, so it was quite easy to catch them.

They moved extremely slowly compared to the monsters he had fought before.

"I'm kind of glad, what we did had really benefitted all beings of this world." A smile formed on his lips as felt quite satisfied.

In his time, monsters were at minimum has the size the same as humans, monsters the size of skyscrapers were quite normal, they had to live in fear most of the time, thousands of beings died just from killing one of them, and that is when those monsters were alone.

It's quite a massive change seeing these small insignificant monsters.

After finishing all of his quests, he was about to return to the city when he heard something.

"HEEEEEEELP!"

A voice sounded from a bit far away, Nysh wasn't bothered by it, from his past life, that kind of plea was a normal happenstance, but then, he thought for a bit before proceeding to move towards where the voice sounded.

A few seconds and he already arrived, he then jumped to the branch of a tall tree and saw a carriage surrounded by a dozen or so guards, they were being attacked by a horde of more than five hundred goblins.

"Do not let any goblins get past you!" One of them shouted.

Nysh looked at their info and found out that they are all Guards.

[Amrut

Level: 44

Guard Captain

Faction: Cramorant Kingdom]

[Sugap

Level: 28

Guard

Faction: Cramorant Kingdom]

Although they are still quite healthy, five guards are already heavily injured, a maid was holding one of the guards, mostly, this maid was the one that shouted.

Then, three more ladies got out of the carriage.

When Nysh saw the one leading them, his eyes widened, he closed his eyes and listened to something before uttering: "There's no "Doki-doki" that Nikikoi spoke of, but she's a real beauty though, well, my standards are probably quite high when I was always together with Ygdrassil and the others..."

[Myrtle Saragoza

Level: 36

Princess Warrior.

Faction: Cramorant Kingdom.]

[Yuri

Level: 18

Maid

Faction: Cramorant Kingdom.]

Aoi

Level: 19

Maid

Faction: Cramorant Kingdom.]

"Princess, please return to the carriage." The guard captain spoke, of course, he was ignored by the princess.

Nysh sat on the tree leisurely and started thinking, what should a normal person do in this situation?

Of course, he doesn't know, the heck he would.

He continued watching them fight, that person named Myrtle brought out her weapon, a rather big great sword, she started slashing at her enemy one by one, or even more sometimes with a single slash.

Myrtle smiled at her guards: "What are you all being afraid of, it's free experience points for us all!"

As she spoke, she used her skill 'Princess' Plea'.

[Princess' Plea

Type: Buffs

Effect:

Increases STR by 10 and AGI by 10 for 10minutes.

Cooldown: 1 day]

"HURRAH!" Hearing her words, the guards were inspired and started bravely fighting as well.

They started attacking like fearless beasts.

It was going well for them, killing a hundred goblins without suffering so much as an injury. It was going well, yes, till it arrived.

The goblins started to run away, then, one of these goblins had a massive club filled with rusty nails.

[Goblin Shaman

Level: 55]

[Hobgoblin Warrior

Level: 60]

The guards immediately stopped fighting as they looked at the two.

Amrut frowned, if it's two hobgoblin warriors, he couldn't care less and would probably be able to run with the princess, but a Goblin Shaman is different. The more goblins there are, the more difficult it could be, unless they could kill it before it starts buffing them.

But it was too late, black and gold light appeared from its staff as it uttered some words.

[Dark Ascension Lv. 1

Type: Buffs

Effects: Increases all goblin's STR by 5, under this effect, if one were to deal damage, there's a 2% chance to inflict blindness.

Affects everyone within the 10-meter range of its caster.]

5 STR isn't much, but if there are more than a hundred goblins affected by it, then, that's different.

"Gwakakaka!" The goblins started getting worked up after having their shaman arrive.

Amrut then shouted: "Guards, escort the princess out of this place, a few of you stand with me, we'll protect the princess or die trying!"

YES!" although all of them are trembling in fear, they have their own responsibilities to fulfill. At the very least, their family will still get his salary for the next 10 years.

Myrtle wanted to say something, but she shook her head and rode the carriage.

Amrut brandished his sword: "We'll try to create a path, move-" He couldn't even finish his words as he saw more arriving.

Six more Hobgoblins arrived.

Amrut gulped down a mouthful of saliva as he uttered: "This isn't a mere small goblin encampment, it's a massive territory."

[Hobgoblin

Level: 51]

Hobgoblin Brawler

Level: 69]

Hobgoblin 

Level: 60]

They won't be able to get out of here, it's already blocking all paths of retreat.

Nysh seeing this sighed: "It's a complete loss."

He vanished from the branch and re-appeared on top of the carriage, he looked at the maid who was holding a guard and asked: "Hey, so, I'm quite confused, what do normal people do in this situation?"

The maid who had a blank expression stared at him, all of them were in despair right now, hence, couldn't think properly.

But she then, she uttered: "U-uh, s-save us and get rewarded?"

Nysh nodded his head: "So, it's like a side mission huh."

He took his sword and looked at the enemies: "Well, it's quite good for a warm-up."

As he spoke, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of a hobgoblin. A sword immediately slashed through its jaw all the way to the top of its head, before Nysh slashed all the way down to its feet.

Its body was divided into two in less than a second.

Nysh looked at the corpse and smiled: "That's one down."

Everyone saw this and couldn't believe what happened, to take down a massive hobgoblin in two moves in less than a second.

It happened too fast.

"GWAAAAAAAAAAAK!" The Goblin Shaman shouted something before a sword appeared on its head, the sound of a 'tsuk' was the only thing that was heard.

"KRAKAKA!" Goblins and the others started moving to Nysh at the very least trying to kill him.

The goblin shaman fell, Nysh appeared by it then held the sword, kicked its head to retrieve it.

"Two."

Nysh did the pose and smiled at the goblins: "Die for me please."

He vanished from his spot and appeared in the middle of a large chunk of goblins and did a massive slash, sending a rather powerful wave.

Kwak! Kiyak!

Chuk!

Around forty goblins died including two more hobgoblins as well.

[You've leveled up!]

Nysh smiled, to think he'll hear it once more.

Myrtle couldn't help but shake as she uttered: "It can't be... he's as powerful as the sword instructor?"

She was referring to the previous generation Swordmaster of her kingdom, also, one of the strongest experts for them.

In less than a minute, Nysh had already decimated so many.

Amrut shook his head: "No, if it's the sword instructor, then, he could kill all of them in less than a minute."

Myrtle was quite shocked, but after thinking about it, she understand what he meant.

In just a simple minute, Nysh had already obliterated all hobgoblins and less than half of the goblins remained, of course, seeing such a sight, they all ran away from fright to flee for their life.

Nysh, who's as clean as a newly bathed person placed his sword behind his neck which was covered with purple blood sighed: "Why do they always run away?"

He then looked at the princess and smiled, he opened his hands to the princess, like how asking for one's hand.

Although Nysh's face is covered by his glossy black hair, his lips could still be seen.

Myrtle blushed slightly, her heart skipped a beat even, she moved to him and extended her hand, waiting for it to be kissed.

But Nysh tilted his head: "What's this?"

"Is that it? The reward?"

Myrtle: "..........."

The maids: ".............."

The guards: "..............."

Amrut: "................"
