Chapter 981: CHAPTER 950 BATTLE AGAINST THE GOBLINS
Shadowslash doesn’t want to fight without any assurance that he will win, this body is too inadequate for him to even use any bit of his true strength, not only it doesn’t have any special characteristics or traits, it’s level was only amplified by medicine.
He had to redo everything from scratch for the eventful day when his bloodline could finally fuse with this body, he would definitely be able to do it but in the meantime, he could only fight against Silver Rank.
Returning back to the guild, he instantly told the clerk about his discovery, because he wasn’t hiding the information, all the mercenaries present on the guild heard him, their expression became unsightly.
One of them that was on Silver Rank spoke “Impossible, how could you obtain such information without alarming the goblins present inside the cave.”
Shadowslash looks at him and instantly decrease his presence, he silently approaches the mercenary, the Silver Rank brute started sweating.
He could see that he was approaching him but his instinct told him that nothing was in front of him, his expression became pale as he felt that he was being stared by a ghost.
The other mercenaries were also sweating, they finally realised why he was dressed as a thief, this occupation was truly perfect for someone like him.
.....
Looking at the pale mercenaries, Shadowslash coldly snorted “I don’t have time for this, hey you.”
The clerk was stunned, she pointed at herself as if confirming that he meant her.
He nodded “What is your name?”
The mercenaries started laughing, then one of the old ones spoke “Kid, you really are ignorant, let me tell you who this wonderful person is, she is Cassandra Stone, the daughter of the guild master and also a spirit master.”
Shadowslash was a bit surprised, a spirit master is an individual that managed to summon a magic spirit, he became interested on recruiting her but upon thinking about her disposition, he could only shake his head.
“Cassandra, go inform your father about this information, we must eradicate them before they form a goblin tide with their goblin king.”
Cassandra nodded and ran up to the stairs, Shadowslash on the other hand told little fatty to instantly buy some spices and water for the long battle that would happen once the guild decided to make a move.
The entire city was boiling, the strongest individuals in the city were Crimson Gold Rank, they were the guild master and Shadowslash’s body former owner, the city lord, Xephier Thunder.
The number of Gold Rank is too small and a goblin tide is something that no one likes, after the goblin tide, there is a high chance that a monster tide would appear, Evergreen Forest might be known for it’s low amount of danger but this only applies on the outskirt.
The outskirt only contains Silver Rank monsters and encountering them are rare but deeper on the center of such wide forest, Gold Rank monsters are common and Crimson Gold Rank are present, there is even a legend that a Platinum Rank monster lives on the deepest part.
No one wanted to fight against such beasts, that is why, when the guild master heard such information, he instantly relayed the news to the city lord and both mercenaries and knights started preparing for the expedition.
Shadowslash was amongst the mercenaries, he and the two children were too unique, they stick up like a sore thumb, everyone were looking at them with a confused expression.
One of the knights approached them, he then sternly said “This isn’t a place for children the three of you go back to your home.”
Shadowslash took out their mercenary certificate, upon looking at it, the knight was stunned, he looks around searching for the adult supervising them but he saw that all the mercenaries were distancing themselves from this particular group.
“Where is your leader, don’t he know how dangerous this mission is, goblins might be weak but they are still stronger than children, go call him for me.” Shadowslash inwardly admires the knight.
Even though he was meddling on an affair that doesn’t relate to him, he still does it because he was worried for their safety.
Shadowslash then grabs the sword of the knight shocking him, before he couky say anything, the sword flashes and slashes a tree in the front.
It was multiple slash, the words then could be read “Don’t worry about us, we will be fine.”
The words written in the tree were deep and clear, like a work of art, it also radiates a certain sensation that all sword user in the area felt fear but also desire.
Shadowslash then returns the sword to the knight “Even though you meddle in stuff that doesn’t relate to you, I admire your personality, I left something on your sword, if you master it, becoming as strong as Gold Rank in your current level would be possible.”
The knight was stunned, he left in a daze, he looks at his sword and touch it before shaking his head thinking that it was only a delusion but inwardly, he felt hope.
As they approach the location of the goblin nest, tension continues to rise, the guild master and the city lord have flew towards the deeper part of the forest, they are going to stop any monsters that tries to intervene.
The vice guild master and the general under the city lord were the leader of the group, both of them are on Gold Rank and their prestige is quite high, especially the general.
“Is this the location of the goblin nest.” The vice guild master asks, he was a middle aged thin man with a whisker like mustache and a small beard.
He is known to be quite a pervert on the guild, unfortunately for him, most mercenaries are men because females are known to be taken advantage on this line of work, dissuading those that doesn’t have strength or background from entering such occupation.
Like in this city, there are only three females in the guild and all three have a background that is untouchable for just about anyone, the two elves have a sister that is a pupil of a Platinum Rank mage and the last one is the daughter of the guild master.
No matter how brazen the vice guild master, he wouldn’t dare force himself to these three girls, he might try to court the two elven sisters but that is all he could do.
“Yes, inside that place contains hundreds of goblins and fifty hobgoblins, it seems that there are still more but he didn’t dare to go deeper.” The serious elf answered.
Even though she doesn’t want to talk with the perverted vice guild master but she decided to do so, she knew just how serious their current situation is, death and blood would attract monsters, after a certain amount of monster dies in one location, the amount of Mana would rise and converge in just one location for a certain period of time.
This is incredibly dangerous since all monsters loves such place and the killing intent or death aura would incite their instinct to kill and destroy, this type of situation would help most monster to evolve.
That is why any monster tide would be a nightmare for any civilization.
Meanwhile, the vice guild master clicked his tongue upon hearing such information “I can’t believe that person would be so cowardly as to not venture deeper.”
Hearing this, the two elven sisters looks at him with scorn, they felt that it was already great that such information have been known and yet thus fellow still wanted Shadowslash to venture deeper.
Shadowslash who was within the mercenary group were eating their food as they wait for the goblins to go out, little fatty was crying in tears of happiness, he had never tasted such good food.
He is already mesmerized by his friend’s barbeque method but when he finally taste the food together with the spices that they bought, he felt that the high class restaurant he had been are all liars.
The little girl was also gobbling all the food, she had been either stealing her food or eating rotten ones, she had never tasted such delicious food.
She looks at the boy that changed her life and she became even more determined to follow him, she had decided to entrust her entire being to him.
“Aniki, Do you really think that there is an ogre inside the cave?” He asks as he wipes the oil on his mouth, because the three of them decided to wear something to hide their faces, they were eating with the upper half of their face still hidden.
“I am sure, the only thing that I am not certain is how many ogres are currently inside, I just hope that there is only one or in worst case there are only two, greater than this then it would spell doom to our group.” Hearing this, the two children shivers.
