Chapter 159 You Can't Talk Things Out With Goblins
-----
? Although I was all into talking with Demons and perhaps resolve disputes with words instead of actions, it was clear as water that these Goblins, whose tendencies were barbaric against anything but Goblins of their own tribes, looked like they wanted to rip our heads off.
The green-skinned goblins were occupying this jungle without us even knowing! Aren't they a bit dangerous? I am not into committing genocide against them or something, but should they be dealt with by the amazon? Maybe just intimidating them so they can scram off would work, they look like an invasive species.
But well, the ones in front of us didn't looked like they would be easily intimidated by a mere trio of kids. Their sharp yellow eyes which looked like goat eyes looked at us sharply, as their slim bodies and thin arms began to move. They raised their arms and pointed at us with their rusty weapons.
Aquarina and Zack seemed a bit scared of them, the Goblins really looked creepy, and seemed wary of us. Pyuku seemed just as wary, as he or she was looking at them while squinting its eyes…
"Hello? You don't have to be so aggressive… We can talk this out." I said. I attempted communication with them.
The Goblins suddenly stopped moving. Oh?! Is this a success?
"We are sorry for intruding into your territory… We'll go away right now, so please forgive us!" I said.
The Goblins seemed a bit surprised, as they looked at one another and then they exploded into laughter.
"Gryahahahaha!"
"Guahahaha!"
"Gakuha! Gakuha Gekyha!"
One of the goblins pointed his index finger at me while laughing off as if what I had just said was some sort of joke.
Okay they were pissing me off now, I am just trying to be a civilized young girl, I am trying to calm down my assassin impulses all this time because I know it is not normal to just want to resolve everything by killing like I was trained to do in my previous life.
And I knew they were mildly intelligent so they would understand us if we tried to communicate with them… but seriously? Did you had to laugh at my attempt like that?!
"Sylphy what are you even doing?! These guys look like they're clearly not friendly…" said Zack.
"W-We should run, now!" said Aquarina.
"Pyuuuuu!" said Pyuku.
Suddenly, the slime grabbed us and moved us down, as five arrows coated in flames flew behind us.
I saw them just in time to realize they were coming an evade thanks to my future sight, but Pyuku did us the favor to evade.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As we evaded the arrows from goblins lurking behind us, some of the arrows reached the goblins in front of us and set one of them on fire…
FLAAASH!
"Grryyyyaaaaahh!"
"Agyrkah?!"
"Grakakaka!"
They began to cry in surprise, I felt like they were very stupid! But also dangerous, did they just attempted to kill us from behind?! Damn bastards! Okay, time to unrestraint myself.
They clearly just wanted to kill us so…!
I quickly rushed towards the goblins on our backs, there were five of them holding arrows and bows while hiding behind bushes. They were using some sort of magic that hid them very well in the bushes, and I couldn't had been able to detect them with ease.
I took out my Cursed Blade made out of Beelzebub's Magic Crystal, time to try out this baby against these guys.
"So you wanted to kill us, huh?! Blazing Blade Technique: Circling Fiery Slash!"
SLAAAASH!
Coating myself in flames conjured through Ember, I fell in front of them like a meteor, unleashing a sharp swing of my blade in a circled patter, unleashing a wave of slicing fiery aura that clashed against all five at the same time, this was one of my father's techniques I copied!
The flames were merged with the darkness emanated from my cursed blade, turning the fire black-colored, and beginning to consume the goblins as they groaned in agony and fell over the floor.
BOOOM!
A loud explosion happened right after, as I used the Fire Spell "Flame Detonation" which allows me to detonate the fire I conjure with ease. It consumes a lot of Mana though, but that's not a problem at all for me!
Their bodies were burned and blown to bits, as I quickly moved back to my friends, finding Aquarina and Zack fighting against the group of Goblins that had found us.
The goblin that was burning had died already and its calcinated corpse was lying over the floor, while another two Goblins were already killed too, but the two were already going for their second kills, as three more goblins remained.
I saw how Aquarina used her amazing techniques, combining her water magic with her knife techniques learned from her father, as she moved and danced around the battlefield like a graceful river of water, leaving actual water behind as she slashed through the body of another goblin, leaving it covered in wounds and making it vomit blood in an instant!
"GRYYYEHH…!"
BUMP!
The Goblin quickly died while releasing large quantities of blood all over his body, Aquarian's speed was incredible, and her ability to slash through her targets multiple times was just amazing, she had already attained levels that I had not, specializing in her own ways.
The other two Goblins reached Zack as he targeted the closest to him, using his axe and propelling himself using his winds, he flew towards that one Goblin, jumping way above the height he could naturally jump and clashing his axe against its head, suddenly slicing the entire goblin in half!
SLAAASH!
"GRYEYHE…!"
CLASH!
The other Goblin was so shocked after the gory scene and how Zack ended with blood splattered all over him that he attempted to escape.
I pointed out my finger at him and fired an arrow-shaped flame at its head, hitting it and exploding it into pieces…
Well, that was more brutal than I thought we would be…
