Pino went back and forth into the cave to evacuate the four women. When the women were outside the cave, Pino gave a wide cloth that he found in the cave. The moment he saw the women, his eyes had different changes, he could not bear to see the female victims of the Goblin savagery.
Bruises and scars or incisions sharp weapons are still able to be treated, but the mental anguish that they face far more lasting than their physical wounds, eyes that no longer have a zest for life and a weak body. Pino turned his eyes, he didn't know what kind of suffering these women were going through.
Pino checked the area around the cave, making sure no Goblins had survived, when he returned to the women's place, he saw Balam who was standing still facing the women while holding his weapon, as if about to use his weapon. Balam, who had been watching Pino from the start, could no longer remain silent after seeing the victims of the Goblins' actions.
"Son ... you have seen how cruel Goblins are right? They are just ordinary monsters ... but capable of giving this much suffering, do you know what these women go through?" Balam asked, he did not see Pino who was behind him, but he knew if Pino was there.
"No, Father. Wait ... before discussing it, where have you been, why did you disappear earlier. Don't you know that I almost died at the hands of those Goblins, even I had to fight against those big and different Goblins," Pino replied, he was indeed curious about what happened to women, but he held back his curiosity by changing his question.
Balam shook his head, he sighed softly, after observing the victims of the Goblin's savagery, he turned around and saw Pino who had several wounds all over his body. "I'm not leaving you, I'm always around you, son. However ... I want you to know what kind of world we live in ... ever since you were in that beautiful dream, when you received an attack from a group of goblins. I've been watching you, it's just that I don't want to interfere. I want you to grow strong ... seeing the reality around you, fighting the monsters that you might face one day. "
"Cruel? Indeed ... I did one thing I shouldn't have done, but this is all for the sake of supporting your desires. What you faced earlier ... is just a small part of the horror that exists in this world, son. "Balam said in a gentle tone, his voice so soft that it really didn't match his manly stature.
Pino nodded slowly, he was not angry, just felt that something was stuck in his mind. He knew, if Balam did all that for his good. "Yes ... I understand, thank you for giving me the experience that almost took my life, Father. What kind of cruelty did the goblins do to this woman? Then, what is the red goblin? Why can he have a bigger body and have a different color? "
"Sigh ... you have entered their nest but have not been able to conclude, it is really a pity. Before discussing that, my father will tell you about the red goblin that you fought earlier, he is a variant of the Hob Goblin ... his body color represents the magic power he has, the goblin that you fought earlier has the element of fire, "said Balam.
Goblins are a species of monster that is quite easy to find on the Ils Continent, where they live in groups and have their own hierarchy. Goblins are divided into several levels such as;
- Goblin King
- Goblin Chief
- Goblin Mage
- Hob Goblin - regular and variant
- Goblins
Balam explained each level of the Goblin to Pino, he told him in detail. The highest level of the Goblin is held by the Goblin King which is quite difficult to find, not an easy thing when dealing with the Goblin King. Pino was quite stunned when he heard Balam's explanation about Goblins, then he asked what the women had been through, until they ended up like that.
"What really happened to them, Father? From what you said earlier ... I just fought the Hob Goblin variant, which can use fire magic. So, what is the reason why they don't have the enthusiasm to live anymore? Is it because they have seen the cruelty of that Hob Goblin? "Asked Pino, he kept urging Balam to tell him about the suffering experienced by women.
Balam nodded and told what the women really went through to the point that they turned into such a sad state, "They received terrible damage as a woman, son. Their chastity was taken away by force, they were destroyed continuously without having had time to rest. They were forced to commit immoral acts and were tortured constantly, they lived like slaves ... no slaves were still a little bit more fortunate, they were used as production machines for Goblin descendants. The suffering they went through was not only a day or two, but it has been going on for quite a while, you also saw a pile of corpses, right? "
Pino froze, his eyes widened until he opened his mouth. He did not think that the women he saved would go through such terrible suffering. What they have been through is far from good, not only suffering from physical wounds, their hearts were crushed by the Goblins with these torments. At first he had expected this, but he could not believe that what these women experienced was far from what he imagined.
"What can we do for them, Father. They are suffering too much, is there anything we can do to help them? I can't let them live like this anymore," exclaimed Pino, he couldn't bear to see the condition of the women he had saved. .
Balam is silent, he who has seen this incident many times knows what will happen, moreover he has seen the decisions that are in the eyes of women, "I can bring you back to ordinary human life. Do you want to live like humans in general or do you want to catch up with the women inside? "
Neither of the women answered the questions raised by Balam. At that instant, Balam gripped his sword firmly and asked the women one more time, "This is the last time I ask, do you want to live like normal humans and bury deep memories in this place, or do you want to catch up with the women in the cave?"
The women were speechless but their eyes changed slightly, and Balam clearly understood the eyes that the women showed. he had often met victims of the Goblins' savagery, most of them who survived always chose the same choice, only a handful of strong women chose the most correct choice. "Okay then..."
"WHAT DAD'S DO !!!!" shouted Pino when he saw Balam, he looked at him in disbelief.
