Chapter 78 Spell Beam, Decapitation Operation
"many!"
House took a deep breath as he looked at the lush green goblins before him.
To be honest, House was a little unsure.
Unlike the previous chaotic battle, without the restraint and cover of other adventurers, he was now alone in an open space.
He wasn't worried about his own safety.
Just fifty goblin ghouls.
The main concern is that House is unsure whether he can protect Karp while fighting against more than fifty goblins on his own.
This is extremely challenging.
But no way.
House also considered taking Karp and fighting his way out.
At this moment, Garp was already seriously injured and looked almost unable to move.
However, given Garp's severe injuries, if [Wind Stomp] were used to carry him away from the battlefield from the air, Garp would likely be unable to withstand the impact of the airflow.
Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to fight!
[Wind Sweep] activated.
[Form Ease] Enabled.
To Karp's slightly surprised look, House moved and appeared in front of the goblin in an instant.
Before the goblins could react, House's longsword had already swung out, cleanly severing a head.
A commotion of "gaggagga..." rose from all around.
House swiftly swung his longsword, hacking and slashing at the goblins before him.
But my peripheral vision was always on Uncle Garp.
Seeing that the goblins on the other side had already reacted and were attacking Uncle Garp, they realized what was happening.
House immediately leaped up and delivered a horizontal kick to the front!
【Windwalk】
The air currents gathered from beneath his feet and then suddenly exploded, once again stunning the goblins in front of him.
At the same time, with the help of the wind, House, who was moving laterally at high speed, made a flying leap, rolled and quickly got up, and stood up again next to Karp.
[Slash]
With a downward slash, he slew three goblin imps in succession.
The skill enhancement effect slowly faded, but House did not stop exerting his strength, and his offensive did not stop at all.
With a deft twist of the wrist, the blade moves in the opposite direction from bottom to top.
The sword tip traced a Möbius strip-like trajectory in mid-air, like flowing water.
i∞
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
With Garp behind him, House quickly slashed down the goblin minions in front of him.
Compared to proactive attacks, protection is much more difficult.
The goblin imps attacking from all directions force House to be in a state of extreme concentration.
One second, two seconds...
Time seems to pass exceptionally slowly to the senses at this moment.
House calmed himself down and tried to sense the movements of all the goblins around him, accurately and quickly determining which one would attack first.
If there is even the slightest oversight, the goblin imps will have the opportunity to attack Uncle Garp, causing him to be injured again, or even endangering his life.
Landing point, angle, force...
Every step he takes must be calculated precisely.
It must be perfect!
Under such extreme focus, apart from fighting, House's thoughts were almost at a standstill, leaving him no energy to perceive the passage of time.
Time seems to be flying by again.
Until a greatsword flashed in his peripheral vision, severing half of the goblin imp that attacked from his side.
House then came to his senses.
Turning our gaze, we see Garp now with a rosy complexion, raising his greatsword once more.
At its feet was an empty bottle of medicine.
With his injuries slightly healed under the powerful effects of the healing potion, Garp gave House a reassuring look.
He could barely be considered to have some ability to protect himself.
House no longer needs to worry about him.
Having understood the situation, House, with no more worries, instantly slaughtered all the goblins around him.
Countless viscous, foul-smelling drops of blood splattered everywhere, staining the entire meadow crimson.
Although House inevitably suffered some damage in the melee due to the large number of goblins.
However, thanks to its slow self-healing ability, the wound healed before any blood could seep from the skin.
The battle is over.
Recalling his earlier assessment of House's strength, Garp couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
But at the same time, I also felt genuinely gratified and happy for House.
Unbeknownst to him, House's strength had become no less than his own.
.
No, it has even surpassed itself completely.
The more Karp understood House, the less he could see through him.
Exceptional warrior talent, druid-related abilities, powerful spells, and a treasure-hunting skill comparable to a thief.
And, just now, that strange ability to step into the air.
After thinking about it, Garp didn't delve into it further.
A qualified adventurer will not pry into other people's secrets.
"Phew~"
With his tense mind finally relaxing and his magic power nearly depleted, House took a deep breath to relieve the dizziness in his head.
That was really close; one wrong step or one slow step could have put Garp in mortal danger.
Fortunately, he did it!
"Let's retreat first."
While the healing potion is highly effective, it cannot instantly restore the wound, nor can it perfectly reconnect the broken bones in Garp's body.
Given Karp's current condition, he will need further treatment.
"Um.
""
The two cautiously observed their surroundings, avoiding battles along the way, and quietly searching for a safe route back to the rear of the battlefield near the town.
On the way back.
House turned his gaze to the professional battlefield not far away.
Unlike the gradually quieting situation on this side, the battle on the other side remains fierce.
There, a group of professional adventurers were still fighting against trolls and goblin mages.
A light shield blocked the fireball, icy air froze the black mist, and vines bound and locked the streaks of light arrows in mid-air.
Various spells were cast in turn, and the battle was fierce amidst the interplay of light and shadow.
The mage and the archer are exchanging magical attacks.
Melee fighters engage in close-quarters, thrilling combat.
The troll, which appeared to be four or five meters tall, raised its massive arm and swept it forward, creating a powerful gust of wind that bent the wild grass on the ground.
The adventurer who was fighting him rolled away to avoid the attack, and then immediately leaped up to slash with his sword, but was steadily blocked by the chains on the troll's body.
Sparks flew as the metal clashed, and the ear-piercing sound of the impact echoed all around.
Even from a great distance, House could clearly feel the suffocating pressure emanating from professional fighters during combat.
"This doesn't seem too good!"
In terms of numbers, there are ordinary goblin imps, as well as professional-level goblin warriors, mages, and trolls.
They were several times more numerous than adventurers.
Just as House was secretly worried about the adventurers, Karp beside him turned his gaze to the distant Misty Forest.
Noticing Karp's unusual behavior, House also turned around to look.
Whether in response to House's gaze or not, a beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from within the forest.
A dazzling stream of magical light pierced the night and was reflected in House's pupils.
Those flowing, shimmering lights, like fireflies in a starry night sky, were so beautiful, so... mesmerizing. "Looks like we've found it."
Seeing the pillar of light emerge, Garp finally breathed a sigh of relief.
House, who was standing next to him, came to his senses and looked puzzled.
Found it?
What did you find...?
"!"
House seemed to understand something.
It seems that from the initial advance of the goblin army to the subsequent appearance of the mage.
Throughout the entire process, the mysterious Goblin King never appeared.
No wonder the number of professionals present was different from my previous guess.
I thought the support from Fengyan Town was not strong enough, and only a few people came.
The goblin leader is absent, there are too few guild members, and a battle breaks out in the forest.
House successfully pieced together the fragmented information.
So that's how it is!
Decapitation strike!
