Chapter 81: Unexpected Development

Chapter 81: Unexpected Development

“Mmm...”

Groaning I felt a massive headache burying my head into a deep slumber but I knew if I don’t fight this urge I might regret it later. The clashing sound nearby was proof of it.

Weakly I lifted my lids as I recalled that something massive was hit on my back before I collided with the wall and blacked out. What it was or how it got so close to me in the first place was still unclear.

“!!!”

The first thing my hazy gaze caught was the head of our raid team leader Erwin staring back at me but there seemed no life remaining in that gaze which made me realize the severity of the situation.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

My heartbeat started racing as I clenched my fist while trying my best to calm down. This was not the first time I have been taken down by surprise so I knew the best thing I can do to recover my sanity was to first regulate my breathe.

*Fuuuu*

Exhaling deeply a small gust formed in front of my face before I slowly lifted my body with my either palms pressed on the ground. As soon I glanced at the scene in front, my body again froze in shock.

“UGOOOOHH”

On one side the shrouded assassin Caroline was fighting with goblins which were about half a dozen in number and on the other side, Lara was engaged in combat with a greater goblin who was in fact the boss of the floor.

But there was something amiss about them since at the level Lara was she should have dealt with them rather easily despite the fact she was ambushed by surprise in the beginning just like everyone else.

Not to talk about the immense energy I was feeling from those monsters which made me confused. Either my inexperience was making me this nervous or those things really are so pumped up.

‘Well, no point in mulling over it...’

I chugged down three health recovery potions and felt sudden warmth spreading at a tremendous pace. All set and done, I took out a pair of daggers from my storage and went for the grouped one side.

“Step back!”

In one corner Caroline sat while struggling to breathe, with her body bleeding actively from three different corners. Despite her struggle, her eyes never left the battlefield where she was previously handling the goblins.

But unlike her, the boy who previously introduced himself just as a strategist was one after another showing such spectacles which made Caroline inwardly shiver and thank the god that he was on their side. She has met powerful people in the past as well, but this guy was just...menacing on an extreme level. Even Caroline cringe upon seeing how he crushed those heads but the assaulter in question had a wide grin plastered on his lips all the time.

‘Just who the hell...is he...’

*GROH*

As the greater goblin which was almost eight feet in height and packed with muscles swung its massive club, Lara tapped the ground with her toes and leaped backward.

It was humiliating enough for her to not sense the monsters approaching her which led her young master to get injured, and now she wasn’t even able to defeat a mere goblin with her strength?

It indeed was strange that she was not able to use her Soul Energy but she has trained her martial skills enough to handle such measly creatures who dared to hurt her young master.

Despite such anger, Lara was only able to inflict minor cuts on her opponent, and in return she had her three ribs broken and her left wrist dislocated. She has already drunk three low-rank potions but nothing seemed to affect her soul energy at all. It seemed the goblin in front was mocking her since it didn’t attack Lara and stood there for her to attack him

‘Pathetic...’

Biting her lower lip, Lara readied her dual saber to launch this next attack with every ounce of energy she have and kill the bastard in one go.

But suddenly she felt a big and gentle hand tapping on her shoulder before she heard a very pleasing familiar tone whispering in a gentle tone.

“You did great, Lara. Now leave it to me.”
