Chapter 115: CHAPTER 115 – They Gray Goblin (?).
Noctura was still stuck on Alex's word when he said, 'Don't disappoint me.'
She wanted to show Alex that she was very strong, and she could take care of herself, she wanted to show Alex that all the time he used to train her had not gone to waste and that she was worth all the time he used.
Noctura was still a child, but unlike humans, her body and mentality were growing along with her powers.
Maybe it was because of the bloodline upgrade she had when Alex granted her the name, or maybe she was just a special case, but if she were to be able to turn into human form right now, then she would probably look like a 16-year-old girl.
With her high intelligence, she had higher EQ and IQ, but that was not always a good thing.
Noctura could see that she was not very useful to Alex, no, she was practically useless if not for her fur being so soft that Alex liked to ruffle them.
But the thing that made her think that she was useless the most was her powers, she knew she was not strong Alice and Ann were always by her master's side.
She could feel herself growing stronger every second, but she felt that she could do better, it was like there was a lock inside of her body that stopped her.
So, when she heard Alex's words, she was determined to show Alex that she was strong. She wanted to show Alex that she could wipe the floor of her enemies as well, she could one-shot her enemies as well.
But then She found out that there was no one left alive in the gate other than a single beast and that one was probably the boss.
Noctura then made up her mind that she was going to one-shot the boss, just like Alex does.
But again, she found out that it would be a bit harder than that.
Her enemy right now was a bit tricky.
.....................
The goblin village was supposed to be a normal E-rank gate until an anomaly appeared.
Goblins grow fast, extremely fast, in age and in numbers, that's just how they are designed, and it takes around 3 to four months for the newborn goblins to turn into adults.
One day, around six months ago, a unique goblin was born. It was born grey in color instead of the green color that goblins have, but that was not all as its mother died upon its birth.
It didn't have a father as the goblins just fuck anyone they want, they don't marry like humans, so no one knows who the child's father is.
With no one to take care of it, the baby goblin grew on its own, but then the other goblins started seeing more differences, unlike the short stature of the goblins, it had the stature of a hobgoblin.
The chances of there being another hobgoblin in the village didn't sit well with the village chief.
If the child grew then it might take away the chief position, so the village chief asked for his subordinates to dispose of the one-month-old unique goblin.
But its subordinates never returned, how would they? They were already eaten by the one-month-old unique goblin.
The chief ordered his subordinates to search for the now-rogue unique goblin but none of them ever returned.
How could they have known that the goblin that they were after had the power to get stronger by eating other living beings?
The unique, grey-colored goblin had the ability to extract and add the powers of the beings it had eaten, but the beings had to be living and he had to eat them alive.
If that was not enough then that goblin's blood was more poisonous than they could even think of, and it was only getting more and more poisonous as it grew stronger.
The chief called off the search and let the rouge goblin be, but then slowly, the number of goblins in the village started to decrease.
Then one day a party of raiders entered the forest and unknowingly entered the area where the grey-skinned goblin resided.
"Everyone be on guard, there's something strange here, I can smell a lot of blood here," The most experienced guy who was a C-ranker tried to warn the other members of the party, but…..
"Come one, man. Stop being paranoid, what are you afraid of? It's just an E-rank gate," Another one of the C-rankers spoke as he waved his hands.
"Yeah, the best this gate can have is a D-ranked boss-" *Click**Splash*
A C-ranked lady also spoke but as she passed through the bushed, the sound of something being clicked was heard, and the next second a mass of green liquid fell over the lady.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
She screamed as her clothes melted along with a layer of her skin. She just continued screaming as she lay on the ground as it was burning her body.
The guys quickly got into a fighting stance, but the newbies ran toward the lady to check on her just to be struck by an arrow laced with the same liquid as the lady.
"AHHHHHHH!!" All of them started screaming as unlike the lady, they could feel their innards burning but they were still alive as the amount of acid inside them was not enough to kill them, although it was enough to make them unconscious due to pain.
The only remaining two raiders who were C-rankers didn't move an inch as they stood with their backs facing each other, gauding each other.
"Did you see what it is?" The guy who was taking things easy before asked the experienced one.
"No, but whatever it is, it doesn't want us dead," The experienced one spoke.
But it seemed that his guess was a bit wrong as an arrow directly came flying toward him, piercing his head and killing him on the spot.
"RU-" The guy tried to scream 'RUN' as he saw the arrow, but he couldn't complete his words as he died before it.
"Huh?" The other guy was stunned for a second but then he looked around with panic.
He had never fought alone or better to say that he was afraid to fight even, that was the reason he took the job of training newbies, but now he didn't know what to do.
He never thought that he would be facing a strong beast in an E-ranked gate.
"Fuck!!!!"
With nothing else to do he decided to run away, he thought it was better than sitting there, waiting for an arrow to kill him.
He could hear the screams for help from the newbies, and he could also hear the scream of his long-time companion as she writhed on the ground, but he still ran.
He didn't want to die, but he forgot the saying, 'Never show your back in a fight.'
After a while, he was tied with the newbies as he screamed in pain while watching the lady C-ranker being eaten alive.
That day was the day that this 'normal' E-rank gate was declared as a special gate.
