Book 2: Chapter 15

Of course, for all intents and purposes, there are many forms of Armageddon level magic I can use to level or scatter their armies. It’s not like I can’t make a “kill all goblins” spell and they’d all just collapse. However, this is an army of nearly 20,000 goblins standing before me and wiping them out with a wave of my hand could potentially cause other issues.

Likely, even if Kida and I just found out about this, others such as nearby Kingdoms may already know more. It won’t be enough to save Riun, but if I simply wave the army away, this could seriously cause complications with my “settling down with my harem” plans. People would want to know who is powerful enough to destroy a 20,000-goblin army.

I could end up a target. They could do something like slip poison in my drink if they wanted to. Perhaps they would slip a spy into my harem. I’d be heartbroken if one of my harem ended up betraying me. The punishment would only cheer me up a little. The point is, an army on our doorstep is troublesome.

I can either kill them in secret, kill them in the open, revealing my prowess, or go back to Riun and defend the town. I give a sigh.

“How long do the people of Riun have?” I ask out of curiosity.

“The goblins will descend on Riun in less than an hour. If we race back now, we might be able to give the people a thirty-minute head start to run.”

She pulls a sword from her belt. “Rookie, if you will, run back to the city and give them a warning. I may delay them for only a moment, but at this point, every moment counts. Hurry!”

“Ah, well as to that.” I scratch the back of my neck.

I'm not particularly down with the whole Kida giving her life thing. Whether she knew it or not, she is one of mine, and I'm not going to give her up.

“Please, no arguing!” Kida tries to use a commanding voice of a vice guild master.

“Well, you see, the other day when you were knocked out, I made you mine.”

Kida turns back with a confused look on her face. “What?”

“Well, I defeated you in combat, so I claimed your body as my reward. Bell didn’t like that, so she offered her body instead. That’s how you ended up in that situation.”

“That is…” I waited to see Kida’s reaction, but after a second, she shook her head. “I’m glad you were the one to take it. As I said, I favor the strongest, and you bested me. It is good I won’t have to die a virgin. My only regret is you didn’t tell me sooner, so we could have spent last night together as well…”

“That’s the thing.” I stop her from turning away. “I keep what I take. When I made you mine, I made you mine in entirety. So, I wouldn’t be okay with letting you die needlessly.”

“We have no choice!” Kida has tears in her eyes, but still turns her eyes away and moves to run down the hill.

I move quicker, appearing behind her and giving a single chop to the back of her neck. She collapses into my arms. She smells good and her large chest is pressed up against my arms.

“How troublesome. And here you are unconscious in my arms again.” I think about it a second and then a warped smile appears back on my face. “Well, we still got thirty minutes. That’s plenty of time.”

I drop her face down on the ground and pull her bikini leather armor down to her knees. There is always time for a quickie.
