Chapter 876 879: Terracotta Grottos (29)

As the brain matter of the first Hobgoblin splashed across the grass below, I raised my Khopesh and parried the spear thrust of the second, redirecting the momentum of the Hobgoblin and allowing me to bring my left hand to bear, activating the spell for the third time and pumping some ice into its torso.

The final Hobgoblin tried to stab me desperately as I was occupied with its two peers, and even with the buff from the Goblin King - or whatever it was called - sitting at the back of the encampment, the Hobgoblin was still far too slow compared to me to be able to actually land a hit.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Allowing the second Hobgoblin to slump to the ground with a giant hole in its chest, I stepped to the side of the thrust and allowed the third to get intimate with the edge of my Khopesh, its momentum bringing about its downfall much like the second, albeit in a different manner.

Running into the sharpened edge of my ice laden blade, the Hobgoblin had no chance of stopping itself or preventing what was going to happen, so it could only watch in horror as it ran straight into the blade and bisected itself, its arms and torso sliding to the ground with a wet thud.

Now that all three were dead, I glanced back at Jahi and the other Demons to check their situation, watching on with a proud heart as Jahi stabbed an Ogre through the chest with her great sword and stopped it in its tracks, only to then stumble backwards as her booted foot slammed into its stomach and pushed it off of her light covered blade.

Meanwhile, Satanya was blazing through the remaining Hobgoblins with her flaming longsword, cutting them down cleanly and efficiently, all while the remaining monsters were cut down similarly by the others, or blasted into bits by the mages behind us, who were finally free from their duels against the Crones.

"That's one big bastard... in far too many ways."

The rest of us followed suit, taking this required few seconds of waiting to apply buffs to ourselves, as well as prepare some spells for whatever was to come; attacking the Goblin King now or trying to prevent... whatever was causing this shaking would only make this fight exponentially harder, the 'clause' of fighting Boss type monsters both a blessing and a curse.

A blessing because - again - you could use this time to buff and prepare, but a curse because this was the perfect opportunity to attack whilst the monster was doing nothing, but if we didn't absolutely and utterly kill the monster, it would be enhanced beyond belief as it overloaded its Core with the nearby mana and supercharged itself in hopes of surviving... or at the very least taking us down with it.

So, we were forced to wait as we stared at the blood pool, something that Ammit and Leone were extremely curious about as they almost leaned forwards to observe it, their minds ensnared by this intriguing happening, though I nudged Leone and said "Wanna switch over to that True Vampire form? And summon Janus, perhaps? Haven't seen him in awhile..."

The Princess just stared at me for a moment before nodding, her crimson eyes closing as she took a step back and started to trace out the runes for the Summoning spell that would bring her Orthrus - the two headed, wine colored dog - Janus into the world, the runes flickering and changing whenever I tried to stare at them, inducing a headache that forced me to look away.

Similar to the runes on my System Made Items, the runes of Leone's Summoning were unable to be memorized or recreated by anyone besides her, something that still confounded us both to this day, and considering how much has been happening, well... it slipped our minds, I guess...

As the earth continued to tremble, our forces were bolstered by one as a giant, dark red furred dog appeared beside us, its twin heads almost as large as my torso was, both of which were lined with razor sharp fangs waiting to shred flesh.

Snarling softly, Janus remained in front of Leone, its four eyes focused entirely on the Goblin King above and only briefly focusing on the puddle below, making me frown for a moment as I too turned back to stare at the Goblin King.

With the chalice pressed against its lips, you could just barely notice the wide, arrogant grin that it wore as it looked down at us, causing my eyes to widen as I felt the mana around us begin to thicken.
