"Hiro's summoners could go down normally, so I guess they aren't really special... But I am glad that they found someone fine to rely on."
"Husband, are you thinking about other women?"
"I am thinking about my friend's women. It's fine as they also can become my friends."
"Hmpf, filth."
Xaya and Kyoya were heading towards the area with the white rabbits. It was time to gather the eyes of the small creatures! The race from the first floor is mostly subdued by the goblins from the third floor, so it might be interesting.
As to why they were speaking about Hiro...
"The 25th floor got the area with the undead... There are various gods, so there might be some deal between the churches! If this is the case, then Hiro himself will have to join one of the churches that can bring out the holy power."
"Holy power sucks~~"
"I wonder if Hiro's power is unique even though the lady who summoned him is weak... It should attract attention!"
"Filth is filth! Hmpf."
Kyoya also wondered how is Hiro doing. There was a lot of news being unrevealed the more he spent his time in the pillar. The world was also seeming to be bigger and if not that black hole, then Kyoya truly would believe he is just on another planet.
Regardless of that, the sound of the rabbits flowed through the party. Their path was easy as Anoke used the secret pathways that were only known by the white creatures... White rabbits were under a rigorous treatment as their bodies were adjusted to hold the goblin!
This was the part of the subduction.
"I am sure you want to betray us."
"No."
"Speak honestly."
"I don't want to die."
Anoke was sure that no one from the third floor can deal with Xaya. He led everyone like a good tank and a thief too. The party had no problems reaching the territories occupied by the goblins that were causing the 'real' chaos.
The conquest for the flesh was ongoing.
The purple goblins were riding on the white rabbits while aiming at human women as their priority. The flesh of those is just the best. Their reserves were rising at an astonishing rate because the safety camps were being monopolized.
If there were adventurers who wanted to step through its borders, then the huge price had to be paid!
The women could only rely on themselves and use the environment to survive... There were also groups teaming up to create an army, but even those were falling due to the lack of adventurers with the strong 'rank.'
The strong people who had come here to help at first turned to be idiots that joined up the safety camps... The price was nothing as the safety camps invited them sincerely! The power just gives too many privileges.
"Arrow Five!"
That's why Kyoya decided to help.
The white rabbits weren't threatened compared to the goblins which were in this hidden place. The underground was lit up by the lamps, and so Kyoya had a clear look at the whole situation! There were white rabbits, but also the ladies caught up by these two.
[Purple Third Floor Goblin. Lv. 41 HP: 8600/8600]
[Purple Third Floor Goblin Lv. 40 HP: 8400/8400]
Kyoya went for the strongest.
He appeared with his tank in front and wife floating behind. The bow was already within his hands, bowstring pulled as much as possible. The first arrow tore through the underground to the goblin whose level was lower.
It did around 450 HP.
It was a surprise attack, so the arrow lodged itself successfully on the goblin's small arm. A small squeal left its lips, then four eyes shone with the red color at the couple and goblin.
"You traitor!"
"Geh! How can he work with humans?!"
"Geehhh! You will know soon enough!"
The three goblins spit the saliva at the same time, but only one arrow got released! The second, third, and fourth were deflected by the small knife that could tell the flight. Its senses of the 40 level also worked well.
Nevertheless, the fifth arrow is what made the goblin regret!
He built up some confidence after taking down the three arrows. This was something Kyoya had in his mind from the very beginning, so his heart just got grasped by that satisfaction. He exclaimed it loudly, then the skin of his sunk into that bowstring!
"GEHHHHHHHH!"
[Critical Shot! -2402 HP!]
"Good! I can do it!"
"Gehhhh!"
Arrows of Kyoya always leave the silver streaks. Those streaks filled up the underground cave with their trails! Outsiders could easily see that those arrows were shot as fast as possible, but some gaps were still here.
Their target was likewise clear!
The wounded goblin!
He is not alone though!
And so is Kyoya!
"Now, taunt!"
"GEHHH!"
The order of husband rang out, then the goblin complied. Anoke's eyes let out an unknown to the rest glitter that was the taunt itself! The body of the second purple enemy halted and its attention turned to its kin.
His knife engaged in the battle as soon as possible.
"Traitor!"
"Gehh! It hurts, shit!"
Anoke got greeted by the experienced slash that could ignore the armor. The gaps in the armor were inevitable as it was his own 'creation' that was not so perfect. Blood spilled out, but Anoke grabbed the arm of the goblin, then pinned him to one place.
The word 'Traitor' was nonstop ringing in his mind.
But it was far better to have this kind of treatment instead of yandere 'boss' looking at him from afar with those cold eyes. Anoke's grasp tightened more, then the arrows brushed both goblins on their way.
"!"
The purple's eyes followed the silver trail, then on its end, the sound of his friend dying exploded. It was a slow death caused by Kyoya's lack of strength. Even the fifth arrow didn't crit, so the damage was way lower than expected.
The vicious creature was still on the ground though.
As to what the white rabbits were doing along with the human ladies...
""""...""""
Just watching! Those white creatures had yet to be properly tamed, then the women were screaming joyfully within their hearts. It was as if they were performing revenge along with Kyoya who was the real human helping them!
"Arrow Five doesn't cost much MP, so I can do it."
"Go for it, husband~~"
Cheered by the best cheerleader possible, Kyoya slowly took out the arrow this time. He was sure that the goblin on the ground won't be able to rise and if he somehow did it, then the audience would throw themselves to stop him.
The pain caused by the arrow in the eye was too excruciating.
It was the result of the crit, power, and Kyoya's quest that was meant to gather the eyes... It was a side buff that Kyoya himself was not aware of, but he was doing great nonetheless! The bow trembled as the arrow left its bowstring.
And another one!
The five arrows flew straight for the laying goblin, then its life slowly disappeared from its body! All that was left was the corpse and the system question.
[Would you like to turn his body into-]
"Everything into EXP!"
"Yes!"
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have...]
There were a lot of system windows, but Kyoya's level was as such.
[Level. 32]
The growth was so big... Was it because the disparity was close to 20 levels? Kyoya had many questions, but he still went with the flow.
Ignoring all the messages, his arrow pointed at the goblin who was being held by Anoke. Its eyes widened as if he wanted Kyoya to shot here yet it was just mere instinctive action!
Regardless of the intentions, Kyoya went for the eye...
Then, his level increased by two.
