God's Eyes

Chapter 115 - Goblin

Jason was shocked to see so many Goblins and it seemed like there were a few million Goblin soldiers, which terrified him.

He couldn't even see the end of the masses while more goblins ran past them.

Not even a minute passed and Jason was already unable to tell how many magical ranked Goblins he had seen but one thing was for sure.

The magical and guardian-ranked Goblins and Orcs were running towards the city in disciplined order, dividing the masses into different groups.

The other goblins below the magical rank were aimlessly running, without any sign of discipline.

More important however was, that all of these higher ranked and disciplined Goblins had one thing in common.

Jason perceived strong mana fluctuations comparable to magical ranked beasts' innate mana around their necks.

Looking around he noticed that not a single disciplined Goblin or Orc missed these mana fluctuations around their necks and they seemed somewhat familiar to him.

'Doesn?t it look quite similar to the projectile protection pendants the goblin mage apprentice had? Only much stronger in mana density and quality!`

Shane looked at Jason and smiled lightly

`Your eyes are pretty good, hm?`

"Look out" he simply said and right at this moment, Jason could see missiles raining down from the sky, causing him to cry out in surprise when dozens of car-sized runes manifested above the goblin?s lightened up the sky, slowing down the missiles.

Sensing that they touched something, the missiles exploded midair, burning the air, without killing a single Goblin.

More shocking however was that the runes were still standing firmly in the air, while Jason focused on the mana within the pendants that summoned the runes.

They were still strong enough to take on a few missiles, that could kill multiple unblemished beasts or a single magical ranked beast otherwise.

Even Shane?s eyes widened slightly in surprise and he praised the runemasters silently.

"To think that their runemaster can even produce mana projectile protection pendants that can hold out multiple grade-3 explosive missiles. Not bad!"

This caused Jason to frown slightly when he heard that, as he looked at Shane with a complex expression.

Shane noticed that and smiled.

"It's not like I want the Goblins to overwhelm us but their intelligence can?t be neglected and I don't think anyone on Astrix is able to produce such complex runes with the same effect.

Additionally, it seems to me that the materials to make these pendants are not that rare as tens of thousand Goblins wear them.

The most difficult task was probably to completely fill them up with mana.

To be honest, I investigated the Goblin King and his subordinates and they did a really good job in establishing such a decent society without being discovered.

It may look like that the goblins only appear for a few months but they had to Inhabitat the forbidden lands much longer.

The Goblin King?s patience and determination are admirable.

At least in my opinion. You may have a different opinion but completely ignoring your enemy and labeling them as dumb, cruel, hideous or something like that should never happen.

Once you underestimate your enemy, you?ll die faster than you may think!!"

Somehow Shane?s words seemed logical as it was indeed bad to ignore your enemies scheming, underestimating their intelligence.

Apparently it the Goblin King was crafty and scheming, which Jason didn?t think of in the beginning

Hundreds of runes manifested inside the sky, illuminating the area around them, while exploding missiles filled the air with the smell of burned flesh, as a few missiles pierced through protection runes.

More missiles filled the sky and even more exploded in the sky, lightening the heaven in a red-orange hue.

But only a few thousand goblins, hobgoblins and so were killed by missiles as the main force already entered the closer proximity of the city, while sniper shots could be heard.

Unsurprisingly only the weaker goblins could be killed by them as the stronger force was protected by the protection pendants.

The goblins protected each other with the pendants and once the protection pendants were completely used up with the manifested runes shattered, the goblins changed their position, letting the ones with filled pendants to the front to protect the larger mass.

The city guards began to notice that shooting missiles was rather useless after some time passed when they began using elemental spells, which were similarly useless.

Only a few spells that changed the environment or passively attacked the goblins were useful, without attacking them directly with fireballs, spikes, spears, and so on.

Jason wanted to shout out in joy when he saw a few strong-looking individuals appearing on the city walls, while brown and blue mana transmuted mana circulated in their body.

Within seconds, their complete mana pool was used up and the landscape began to change, within seconds.

Clouds began to manifest high in the sky, while the ground was burst open with deep fissures ravaging the goblin's lives, causing them to fall deep into their condemnation.

Wondering why the city guards manifested clouds in the sky, he noticed a few more high-ranked humans appearing on the city wall, using up their mana to thickening the cloud.

A few raindrops began to fall down from the clouds, and a rainstorm began.

Before Jason could think about the use of these clouds, he perceived a Grandmagus rank human above the clouds thanks to his mana eyes.

It seemed as if he was injecting his yellow-greenish mana into the clouds, while standing on top of a yellowish feathered eagle that looked extremely sick but also vigorous.

The raindrops? color changed and turned sick green-yellowish like the mana injected by the Grandmagus, while a reeking smell permeated the air.

When that happened Shane?s lips curled up, as he said

"Ahh, still as cruel as ever… That we still use such methods to annihilate this kind of threat."

Turning to Jason, he began to explain after noticing the black-haired youth?s confused expression.

"You saw the dozen magus ranks creating the clouds with their water, wind, and fire affinity, right? In Addition to forming rain clouds, a Grandmagus injected his mana with his lethal poison affinity into the clouds.

Once these infested water drops hit any being below the magical rank, they will die within a few minutes... This includes humans.

There are a few wind and water magus?s that control everything but once they lose control, they could similarly kill most humans inside Cyro city.

Nevertheless, it's an old war strategy that was used for a long time and it looks like the protection runes don't see the raindrops as a threat, maybe because they are too slow or something else, I?m not exactly sure about that.

Cyro City resists this beast tide better than expected but even if they can easily kill millions of goblin soldiers with that, the biggest threats are still alive.

Inspecting their equipment and weapons, it looks like most higher-ranked goblins had quite a bountiful hunting trip.

Their weapons were mostly at the grade-2 rank, while some grade-3 weapons could even be seen.

I wonder which rich hunting teams they hunted."

Jason was interested in the war strategy utilized by humans but Shane seemed to admire the goblin side much more than the human side which wondered him somewhat.

Shane approached the city-wall while enveloping them with a dark transmuted mana, that seemed to work similarly to a shadow cloak in the night.

They were now above the City wall and Jason could see the Goblin mages releasing car-sized fireballs, earth spikes, wind blades, and much more spells that pierced into the city wall?s

While the goblin soldiers in the back began to struggle due to the poison, the front soldiers were already feeling dizzy, which did not hinder them to continue their charge at the city wall.

However, before they could even enter the city, they collapsed, struggling to stay alive.

The magical and guardian-ranked Goblins roared out in rage when a particular High-Orc stood in front of the City walls.

Upon inspecting it with his mana eyes, Jason?s eyes were filled with shock.

"Runes!" he shouted and Shane followed Jason?s gaze as his eyes similarly widened.

"Runes on his body?" Suddenly, one of the runes on the 3 meters tall brownish-green orc lit up, enlarge his whole body to 3.5 meters.

Jason noticed that the orcs had a brown touch in his mana as earth spikes shot out of the ground spiking the city wall in an orderly manner, forming a cruel path towards the top.

"Amplification rune?" Shane's eyes opened in shock and both could only see the now 3.5 meters tall Guardian-ranked orc charging up the city wall greeting his opponents openly.

In the Orc?s hand appeared a black five-meter-long greatsword that was stuffed and overlapped with hundreds of runes as it began to smile devilish.

"Feel the wrath of my new invention. Overgeared Extinction!"

The orc said in rough human language, as the black greatsword began to shine in a vibrant white light with all runes activating at the same time.

Enlarging to a size of more than ten meters, the greatsword looked extremely horrifying with the vibrant white light lightening up the surrounding as the orc injected its whole pool of a peak guardian-rank beast into the sword before slashing down towards the city center?s direction, where everything the dome, management, government and everything else was situated.

A hundred-meter long sword beam left the ten-meter long greatsword, which immediately lost its luster, shattering into thousand particles.

Before the sword beam was to hit the center of the city it would have to wreak havoc in all the different districts that stood in its way.

The mana released by the sword beam was so strong, that even the surrounding magus? shivered in fear, forced to retreat a few steps in order to stay conscious, due to the killing intent injected into the sword beam.

Some closer buildings began to vibrate violently, causing their windows to shatter.

Some civilians that woke up due to the loud noises would only see the horrifying sword beam shooting past them.

If not for the large distance between the sword beam and the civilians, they would either die due to the high pressure emitted by the sword beam or faint without being able to show much resistance.

The Orc didn't look after the sword beam he caused as he jumped down back to his comrades, trying to disappear without making many noises, when its movements were suddenly restricted, without being able to move a single inch.

Noticing the space around him twisting, he suddenly appeared next to Jason, enveloped within tight shackles made out of mana.

Jason looked extremely shocked at the Orc, that also looked surprised at Jason and only now he noticed that only the two of them were there!

`Where is Shane?`
