Episode 488 Rebellion (2)
“Kieeh.”
“Kihihi?”
The goblins exchanged words with each other.
They didn’t like the new king.
Teaching how to be strong was good, but the way was too harsh.
I shook my head at his foolish words to feel something that even goblins, who were confident in using their bodies, couldn’t understand.
“Queue! Key!”
‘If we keep going like this, we’ll get exhausted first! Are you going to leave the tribe as it is?’
The old goblin answered the young goblin’s words.
“Biyi-”
‘Will you challenge King Gearco? It’s good to quit. The current king was a man who treated the previous monstrous king like a child.’
Even the other goblins nodded at the words of the oldest surviving member of the tribe for nearly a year.
“Khi-hi-hi-hehe.”
‘We’re not the ones to jump on… We’re sure to split our bodies and die.’
“Kigi-geek. Key.”
‘It’s still good if we die divided. That vicious king will only watch until we die slowly suffering.’
Among the goblins, Ray was the very axis of evil.
As everyone reluctantly pulled their feet back, the young goblin shook his head in retort.
“Kieek! Keeeeee!”
‘We have a lot of people. Even if you can’t duel with the holy king, which must be done one-on-one, you can rebel and drive out the king.’
The ‘Duel of the Kings’, which determines the king of the goblins, must be done one-on-one.
That was the unspoken rule among the goblin tribes.
However, the case of rebellion is a little different.
I don’t like the king, so the goblins should work together to drive it out.
They were not confident in one-on-one, but they were good at pushing with many.
So, I had no choice but to be seduced by the goblin’s words to push them away with the number of people.
The young goblin made the final bid.
“Kikiki. keek. Kekekekekek.”
‘Heh heh. As long as he is driven out, he will not have to go through that rigorous training anymore, let alone re-establish his position as king. Besides, you guys must have seen that pretty goblin too, right?’
The goblins swallowed their saliva at his words.
The Goblin Queen was a fairly beautiful woman among goblins.
Although it resembled a human a little, it rather came as a mystery to the goblins.
If I can drive him out and become king, a beautiful woman will come with me!
That temptation hardened the hearts of the goblins.
“…heh heh.”
‘Your words… I will accept them.’
Eventually, a goblin rebellion began to be planned.
* * *
From the next day, goblins appeared.
I swayed my leg and threw the wooden sword I had painstakingly made at random.
Seeing this, Ray groaned.
“Hoo.”
Are you saying you really want to die?
If there is going to be a rebellion, it will be raised quickly, but what the hell does it mean to stand in front and show off your guts by saying ‘I don’t want to do it’.
When Ray is watching the goblins with interest.
The goblin queen rushed from one side.
“It’s a bar rebellion! Goblins are gathering!”
Ray frowned at her cry.
“Mmm.”
He had not foreseen that the uprising would break out so quickly.
However, when hundreds of goblins attack at once, it is not easy to deal with them alone.
But no worries.
Miss Mana had a small realization about magic not too long ago, although she was not as good as she used to be.
“I don’t know if it will work, but I have to try.”
I don’t know if it will succeed or fail because I’ve only thought about it yet.
However, I had no choice but to try it now.
Before he could find the goblins, over seventy goblins arrived in front of Rey.
Only goblins armed with weapons.
Even at a glance, it was an outfit that was trying to plot a rebellion.
“Have you had a hard time lately?”
As Ray said, the goblins gnashed their teeth.
How long have you been training hard?
When they saw a small lake, they threw themselves into it, formed a battalion, and hit it all day without meaning.
My hands were blistered and my hands were so numb that I couldn’t even hold things properly.
“Queueek!”
“Queue!”
As the goblins screamed and grabbed clubs and wooden swords, Ray also raised his wooden sword.
The tip of the wooden sword was not aimed at anyone.
It just sits in the middle of nowhere as if it were standing alone.
But looking at it, the goblins felt frustrated for some reason.
Should I say that I feel like I am out of breath?
It was not easy to take a step.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“Kiehehe?”
pressure to death.
Although it is said that goblins are not very afraid of death by nature, there is no way that they do not have a primal fear.
Besides, monsters were more sensitive than anyone else about living.
Fear was scattered in front of my eyes, but there was no way that they, but no one else, would notice.
However, they are not ordinary goblins, but goblins who survived the 15th floor.
As long as each individual goes outside, the rest of the goblins can be steamed enough.
Overcoming fear, they took a step forward.
“Queue!”
As he swung his sword as hard as he could, the air exploded with a terrifying sound of wind.
Ray indifferently brought his sword face to face.
Slow-!
Their wooden swords were cut with absurd ease.
There is no way that a goblin who can’t handle mana can beat someone who can handle mana freely.
Of course, when mana ran out, it was Ray who was at a disadvantage, but it was still enough.
he raised his hand
I pointed the palm of my hand, which communicated best with mana, toward the goblins.
“Drain.”
Then the goblins’ mana reacted in an instant.
Whoop-!
The goblins were quite taken aback by the alien aura they felt inside their bodies.
It is a feeling I feel for the first time in my life.
The unpleasant feeling of bugs crawling through your veins spread throughout your body.
The goblins crawled across the floor, missing their weapons.
“Keew!”
“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
So far, Ray has absorbed mana from the air and used it as food to manifest magic.
But at some point, doubts arose.
Everything in the atmosphere is made up of mana, more or less.
Until now, he had only absorbed mana from the atmosphere, but if all things were made of mana, wouldn’t he be able to absorb mana from things and life as well?
That question opened up a new path for him.
With the realization of mana, a new magic emerged from his thoughts.
That was ‘Drain’.
Magic that absorbs mana from life and objects.
It was more like black magic than normal magic, but what about it?
Wouldn’t it just be practical?
When trying to reach out and collect (?) the goblins’ mana without permission.
Ray tilted his head at the mana reaction he couldn’t feel in his palm.
“what?”
I don’t feel the mana that I should feel.
It was a theory that had only been established by thought, so there might be some mistakes, but it is a little strange that there is no reaction at all.
I only thought it was successful because the goblins collapsed and tried to die.
he washed his hands
“It was good.”
It was only successful in making the goblins fall without touching them.
The eyes of the goblins who were full of miasma and plotting rebellion became as gentle as those of deer, so at least it can be said that troublesome things in the future are less likely to happen.
It seemed that a little more research was needed to perfect the drain.
Of course, for the sake of research, I needed a test subject to be tested, but it was fortunate that there were goblins.
To point a knife at the benefactor who dared to save his life and taught him how to grow and become stronger.
That vice must be punished, Ray thought.
The goblins were horrified as he neutralized them without touching them.
“Kieack!”
‘It’s magic!’
Occasionally, among goblins, there are goblins who use magic.
Of course, their numbers are slim, but they say they have been using mana since they were born.
There was one in their tribe, but it was unclear how it was alive or dead.
“Queueek!”
‘Even wizards can’t neutralize us this easily! It must be the king sent by the goblin god!’
Although their intelligence was much higher than that of the goblins outside, they had no choice but to think so because they lacked experience and knowledge.
Unless sent by God, how could a living being be so noble!
If he continued to do so, he would have to live with bullying every day under the pretext of plotting a rebellion.
I don’t know, but he seemed to have a long back end.
The goblins suddenly hit their heads on the ground.
“Kiyi!”
“Kiyi!”
The goblin queen looked at it and put on a look of surprise.
“It looks like you are going to surrender unconditionally. What kind of trick were you playing?”
To describe the magic he created as mere trickery.
Unfortunately, there was no supernatural ability to absorb mana yet, but it was still successful in moving mana.
With a little more work, proper magic might be born.
‘I guess I can ease my worries about the rebellion now.’
In the meantime, he intended to teach goblins and study drain magic.
Of course that’s it, and the penalty for rebellion is the penalty.
He was not the type to live in debt.
Anything received from the goblins will be returned with interest.
* * *
The imperfect ‘Drain’ magic that Ray did to the goblins came as an unexpected harvest.
The goblins, who were struck by his magic and awakened to the senses of mana movement, succeeded in moving mana one by one.
“Kiki Kiki.”
Their noses stood up as if they were full of confidence.
Those who used to walk stooped now walk with their shoulders straight.
Thanks to that, even the goblins who couldn’t move their mana were ignited.
“Gooooh!”
It’s really nice to see how hard you work.
Once the mana was fully established and able to handle it skillfully, Rey intended to plan another descent.
‘When the drain magic is perfect, the limit on mana disappears. Then it’s better to break this dungeon as soon as possible.’
Although it is said that the flow of mana in the atmosphere is limited, even living things and objects are not strongly affected by it.
So, Ray planned to use the mana that existed in the bodies of creatures to break the dungeon’s core one after another.
To do so, the deepest part of the dungeon.
That is, I had to go downstairs.
The core of the dungeon was there.
