I can't imagine that these people, who are corrupt to the core, would even inflict injury on others, only to delight in themselves, since they can't overcome me. This isn't just for show, as I previously stated. To be precise, this is stupidity.
I can't help but giggle when noble-looking youngsters, who could be the third or second sons of a noble, step out. Do they think I'm a joke? They couldn't even go close to the soldiers. Have you the audacity to challenge me? They are past the point of salvation.
Dear Beloved Relatives of the Deceased, I, the goblin king, would like to apologize for causing your men's foolishness.
Sighing, I can't help but be troubled by these people. It helps me to feel relieved about them being my sacrifice, but it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.
"This is your end, you vile wretch."
My attention was drawn to a figure standing among my goblin and hobgoblin corpses. Based on the number he knocked down, he probably knocked down 7. If I may make a comment, it is quite outstanding.
A man in his forties takes an honorable stand and steps forward. His armor, whether silver plated or made of silver, has few scratches, showing his bravery and fighting experience. He also carries an expensive-looking sword around his waist.
Really, a piece worth of my time appeared. I can feel that he can put up a fight as he feels confident but doesn't show it off. If I am right, he should be a captain or commander in this order. Only his suit is distinct from the armor of the knights.
This wave is full of knights, but somehow, soldier-looking men are in the middle of this formation. Is there something wrong with them? Do they take us as a prize? It's humiliating, why would they dig their own grave in such a matter. If they just fight together with that unorganized mercenaries, they can handle half of my men.
"///I SHALL TAKE YOUR HEAD BEFORE YOU CHALLENGE OUR MASTER'S MASTER.///"
I raised my hand, halting the tiger kin in his beastly form. I am intrigued by this man. I feel a little kinship with him. He should have given me a good fight if he could make me feel like this.
His eyes seem determined, but I don't give a damn. I'm just intrigued. Don't be too full of yourself.
As I stepped up into my men's half-formation, I smirked. If he can break through my defense, I will spare his life. If he can,
Wow. These thoughts of mine are too deep. Am I really getting eaten by my monster instinct? Even if I am, I can still fight and act smartly. I can take this, and accept it.
"Haah... Human, state your name." I spoke, letting out a deep, hideous voice. This will be enough to intimidate him, right? But looking at him, he seems not bothered.
This is getting more interesting. I can't wait. Don't fail me, human. I will really take your life if you can't satisfy me.
"You don't need to pay heed to my name, as I, Bernard of Libro, will take your life."
Stupid!
Stupid!
Stupid!
I almost couldn't help but snort. What the hell! This is a joke. No, this is beyond a joke. It was just my overestimated expectation of this man. He just looked like an honorable knight, but he seemed really stupid.
Imagine, stating that I don't need to pay heed, then after he said his name. And even worse, he thought he could kill me?
Ah... I can't stop. I am just holding my breath to not disrespect this man. I thought he was just putting up a fight. Or, a duel would probably be more honorable. But this, stating that he'll kill me before even seeing me fight? You're just one of those stupids, Bernard.
"You... I can take you as my servant. You can be... hmm... a clown. Pfft." I and my men burst into laughter. This is really priceless, his expression changed as if being just insulted. Well, that was an insult, but I'm surprised that he understood it as I had already measured his intelligence.
Maybe humans should change their titles as intelligent and chosen creatures by heaven. Because they don't appear to be good enough. Puhaa!
"I-I! Don't take me lightly! I am the strongest knight of Black's Order. You can't take me down!"
"You're forty? Well, I guess you haven't read much about history. I am a goblin king, one of a race that became a heavenly demon general. "
Well, it's not that I feel good bragging about an achievement I didn't really do, but I hope this may help to intimidate him. He's really stupid. If I show him a piece of my power, he'll just think of it as a trick. Better not do it.
"I don't take any heed. I am the strongest knight of Black's Order."
Wow. He has that title, but he seems to lack an important feature of being a knight. 'Never underestimate an opponent.'
I can't take this anymore. I'll just absorb a percentage of his stats if he's really the strongest knight in his order.
My face became gloomy as I extended my arms. I swayed it away from his position, which was only 20 meters away, by lifting it into the air.
As I swayed them, the air around me formed and rushed towards Bernard's position, creating a strong pressure rush. He lifted his sword and defended himself, and blood gushed out.
...
...
It was silent for a second. Bernard was split in half. I didn't even bother to use my Trump Card Sword. How did he die with just a swing of my hands?
I can't even kill a mid-border monster in a monster zone in a swing, but how did he die? Is he supposed to be the most powerful knight?
Wait, did I just believe his words? Obviously, he is not the strongest knight if he just dies like that. Sighs. I can't believe I was fooled.
Okay, let's stop crying over spilled milk.
The men on the other side stopped what they're doing when that Bernard suddenly died. Hoo... So I was not fooled. It was real that they feel confident about him.
And in 3... 2... 1...
They started retreating. But sorry humans, you can't go home as I have already absorbed your land. By at this time, Rayas should be already done, no. I told them not to kill them because I needed them as a hostage.
No fool would attack a colony with their fellow citizens as hostages, no? I just hope that humans will not do another foolish act.
Ahh... I really need to change the pace. This won't work. This will be another boring act and situation like the ones I've seen on Earth. I'm not a magic nerd! I just want something that can't be predicted. After all, I already have highly intelligent stats. This will be an easy job.
In the next phase, I just have to infiltrate human society and study my enemies.
