Luke thought of possibilities to how to rescue them but looking at the situation it was impossible to just take them out one by one with how many they were. Crossing options in his mind he only had one and that is to try and kill the two major leaders of the whole fucking army.
"Listen Gabriel, we only have one shot at this"
"Tell me"
The baby's that were going to be sacrificed never stopped crying as they were all on the floor with a ritual art just below them and candles along side bones scattered around them.
Luke telling the only option/plan he had in mind made Gabriel's face turned grim.
"Is that really the only option?"
"Yes..."
Knowing that Luke couldn't come up with any other better plan in mind.
"Well positions go"
"Umu"
As they separated from each other and went deeper into the nest as they were hiding behind objects were they can't be spotted.
"Everyone! prepare to bring the last component"
The goblin troops hear the order and bring what seems to be a hand of some sort. As they give it to the paladin.
"Good, good my minions now go away I must receive enlightment"
As the paladin says that he receives what he wanted from the gods of chaos themselves.
"Yes! Yes! I have received it from they themselves!"
Many goblins who witnessed it, were cheering loudly for him. Some were dancing or tap dancing others beating their chest which were the big goblins a lot of screams and roars.
"Loud..."
Luke muttered as he was hiding behind a wall. Looking over to see what was happening and he saw how the paladin got enlighten by the gods of chaos. As for the hand he saw Luke couldn't but help click his tongue as it was a relic and a way to summon the hundredth hand monster or better known as Hecatoncheir.
Without a second thought Luke rushes to the side and pull something from Judecca who turned into her pendant form. Taking out a sword and then aiming at the paladin with force he threw it. As Judecca went back into her sword form in Luke's hand in a heartbeat. As they are in sync and know each other to not say what Luke wants for Judecca to do.
*swoosh*
*Clank*
The sword hit the armor of the paladin but it didn't do much but alert every single goblin in the vicinity. As he turned towards the direction to see who did it knowing it was intruders in his lair.
"Minions! find me the intruder!! and bring me their heads and if it's a female bring them here!"
They all screamed at each other to get a move on as they try to find Luke who was the one to throw it at the paladin.
*thud*
On the other side Gabriel cut down a rusted broken down pillar with full force. Making it crash towards the ground which killed some goblins. But it didn't dwindle much of the army of goblins.
"Over there! Get them!"
As the bigger goblins moved to where Gabriel is which she is on the 2sd floor of their lair. With some swinging their massive weapons at her spot which she had to move quickly before getting caught.
*swoosh*
*Boom* Boom*
*Crash*
The sounds of the big goblins just wrecking the whole spot where Gabriel was not able to see her as she left that spot hastily.
Debris are falling off the ground as it killed some smaller goblins. Well not like the leaders cared about them as they had ways to get more.
"I want them dead!"
The Lord wanted them dead as he shouted orders there and there for them to hurry up.
{A/N: Lord = goblins lord simple}
"Now sacrifice the children and summon it!"
Lord told the paladin who shouted back at him.
"I know that! you fucking brick head! Oh Hecatoncheir take these offerings and use them as I summon you to wre-"
"!!!!"
*swish*
"Ahhhhhhh!"
*splat*
Luke took action and used the couple seconds they were distracted as he then shot like a rocket towards the paladin and cutting the arm. That had the relic to summon Hecatoncheir to the mortal plane.
Many turned and were stunned at what they saw because they heard the scream from the paladin. The lord was stunned as he didn't notice Luke.
"What are you waiting for me!? Kill him!"
As the paladin shouted in rage wanting Luke dead.
So Luke saw the baby's on the ritual circle and wanted to take them but knew it would be hard because the goblin army was surrounding him not as much because the smaller goblins went search for them upstairs.
But the bigger goblins were left here.
*Shine*
As a bright light covered the whole nest blinding every goblin. As Luke then started to attack the closest goblin because the two goblin leaders went behind their army.
Hobgoblins to Goblin champion this will be hard one for Luke to manage along side with Gabriel. So he killed a couple hobgoblins in a heartbeat as their heads were cleanly cut of their shoulders with blood gushing out of their severed heads and neck.
*gush*
*splat*
In a blur Luke moved to kill many goblins in a couple of seconds as the bright light that Gabriel emitted worn off. As Goblins now started to see.
Luke emotions were off as he was all serious as life and death battle was in session.
A killing machine was all that the goblins could see from Luke a person not showing a single emotion just cold eyes that sent shivers to them. When Luke looked at them in their eyes which made some afraid but knowing their numbers are more than him.
All of them tried to kill Luke. As the paladin let them do it but was clutching his injured severed arm because it was bleeding profusely and it was hard to contain.
*slash* slash*
*swish*
*Scream*
Then the paladin and the lord heard the screams of their army dying but form behind them because they were seeing their army swarming Luke. With numbers that seem to had no end to them.
They looked behind and all they saw was a woman killing their army from behind. Gabriel showing 0 mercy to such despicable beings. Such creatures shall die without mercy. As she was covered in blood just like Luke who was still killing goblins one by one. But protecting the children behind him
"Goblins get the woman! Use her as an example we can then make that person die quickly"
The paladin shouted to nearby goblins to follow his order because it was a tactic that the paladin thought could work without fail.
They all rushed to attack Gabriel who was doing fine killing goblins one by one with swift speed but knowing that she is not as strong as Luke or fast but she's getting there.
*Roar*
*slam*
*boom*
Luke got hit sending him to a pillar as it cracked under him.
*cough*
Blood left his mouth but with training he leaves the spot he crashed into knowing that if any longer. The children will be in danger of dying.
"[Holy light]"
Gabriel chanted as a bright light again blinded the goblins. Luke got on top of a goblin champion and sank his weapon in his neck.
Blood gushes out of that spot as the goblin champion eyes bulges out of his eye sockets from that sudden attack and tries to claw or swat away Luke who was on top of him.
"you fucking trashes"
Luke said with cold indifferent tone that made it shiver in fear. As Luke sliced upwards slicing in half his head blood pouring out heavily from the slice. As it covers the whole clothes of Luke.
Again only knowing a couple seconds he has before Gabriel's spell wears off. As he goes and kills goblin champions like butter with Judecca as his sword. taking their legs off or jumping onto them and slicing their heads in half.
As the spell wears off they try to kill Luke again. As he dodges their attacks swiftly.
Gabriel is holding her own as she killed a couple champions and hobgoblins but was breathing heavily as she hasn't fought as the wave of goblins wasn't ending.
She then heard the small goblins footsteps as they seemed to come back from their search because they heard the noise. Gabriel cursed in her mind as she knew that her body wouldn't hold on much longer. As she had a few cuts on her a bit of her battle
Same thing with Luke but it didn't let him dwindle him down.
They both went at it and killed one by one their enemies.
*swish* Swish*
*slash*
The thing is Luke towards Gabriel and saw how she was tired and knew they need to leave now.
He saw goblins and archers and the shamans when fighting in the corner of his eyes. As some shouted their spells and shot arrows but towards him but towards Gabriel who was busy fighting then checking her surroundings as she was out on the open like him.
"Gabriel dodge!"
Luke shouted in trying to warn her. But it was to late even though she heard it she was able to dodge the spells but not the arrows as it struck her legs rendering her immobile and injured as one hit her shoulder.
*Vwoosh*
"ahhhhh!"
Gabriel screamed in pain when the arrows struck her as she fell down on the ground face down.
