Chereads / I Am A Lion / Chapter 35 - Huh?

Chapter 35 - Huh?

Dham!

Shewwww!!

Guro was sent flying by a punch from her. There was a hint of anger on the expression of her face.

"Nice job! You almost managed to fool me. How could I forget that the great Guro is not someone who would bow down to anyone."

"Huff huff" Guro was breathing heavily, he could not move his body due to the pain and exhaustion he was feeling right now.

...

Right after Guro was sent flying, a few creatures who were not affected by the wave came forward to help him.

The defeat of the three tribal leaders and disappearance of Ben had managed to force many creatures irrespective of their strength to run far away into the deep forest. They were afraid and had no motivation to continue this fight.

Only a small percentage of the total army of creatures were left now, others had already run away. Those remaining were probably very loyal to their leaders and tribes.

Among them, most of the creatures were from Ben's army. Although many had run away from his army as well, there were still some powerful creatures left.

Bob was looking at the goblin queen with a serious expression. There was even a hint of fear on his expression.

'That small, petite looking figure had managed to force our lord to hide and severely injured those three powerful tribe leaders...she is powerful….'

Right now he was racking his brains for some ideas.

'With her strength that is currently more powerful than everyone present here, I don't know what could possibly make us win against her in this situation. Ugh! Think! I have to think! There must be something!'

Just as he was about to concentrate too hard, a soft and familiar voice entered his ears, which managed to calm him down a lot.

"Listen everyone, go and disturb that Goblin queen using whatever tricks you can do."

"...alright boss." Said Bob with a relieved smile on his face. He was so relieved that instead of using lord as the honorifics, he called Ben as boss instead, which was how he used to call him in the past.

Even though he could not see from where Ben was ordering them, his voice managed to assure him that they could win this.

After ordering his subordinates, Ben became non-existent again.

"Huh? Boss? Where are you?" Job was confused. Ben's voice was heard by most leader type members of Ben's army, who were standing near Bob. Job was also among them.

Hearing Ben's voice, although Job was confused she did what Ben told them to do.

"Hey! You! What are you acting so arrogant for!? Let me show you your place today!!"

After shouting this out loud, she without any plans or considerations began running towards the goblin queen.

"Hey! Job! Don't go alone!" Shouted Bob, but Job didn't stop anyway, so without any other choice he was forced to charge ahead as well, following just behind Job.

"Damn! What an idiot! We have to go as well!"

"Tch! Let's go! Haaaa!"

+1

+3

+10

Others were a bit annoyed by Job's actions. Is she not familiar with the term called patience? We could make a plan before attacking, right? Why was she in such a hurry?

"Hahaha! Very good! I will kill all of you today!"

The goblin queen upon seeing the incoming group of creatures laughed a lot before her expression suddenly turned serious.

She ducked a little before suddenly charging ahead with a forward jump! She instantly reached close to Job and grabbed her throat with her right hand.

She started choking her, Job was having a difficult time breathing.

"I know that you can use some kind of trick from your mouth. Do you think I will leave you alone? Thank you for delivering yourself to me so easily hehehe."

Currently, Job couldn't focus on her words as she was losing her consciousness due to suffocation.

After teasing Job a little with her laugh, she looked forward to stare at the others who were running towards her.

"You all can fuck off."

With this, a blue coloured wave of force was generated from her body, which spread outwards to all the sides of the battlefield.

This wave was exactly similar to the previous wave which had managed to severely injure many creatures from before. Just that this wave was significantly weaker than the previous one.

Bhooooom!

Many creatures including Bob were pushed back, some weaker ones became slightly injured and stronger ones only lost their footing but they were mostly fine.

After stabilising themselves, they charged ahead again this time using mana from their bodies to shield themselves against the wave.

Seeing them trying so hard, other creatures from the three tribes also joined in to fight against the Goblin queen.

"Hm? Do you think I can only do this once at a time? Let me show you my true power!"

Hearing her words, Bob and many others suddenly had a bad premonition in their heart.

She smirked and started unleashing a barrage of wave attacks! Blue coloured force waves kept getting out from her bodies, causing a lot of injuries to the creatures that were fighting against her. Some had even died due to the accumulation of excessive injuries on their bodies.

"Hahaha! What is power!? This is power! How ignorant was I before? To think I used to believe

That a few dozens of secondary evolutionary creatures can defeat a creature like me who is within the third evolutionary form. Tch! How foolish and ignorant?"

She shook her head in disappointment at her previous mentality.

"So this is the power that a true third evolutionary creature possesses? Why was I so weak before? And how was I able to get this power? Was it because of the pain and suffering I felt due to the destruction of my tribe?"

She was lost in her own thoughts for a while, she could not see that Job was almost about to die due to her tight grip.

Job's face kept getting paler and paler. Just as her life was almost about to end, the goblin queen was forced out of her thoughts by a shout from somewhere.

"Hey! If you have the guts, then fight me one on one using just your strength! Don't use this ability of yours!"

"Hm? Who the hell are you?"

The goblin queen turned towards the sound of that powerful voice, but what she saw made her disappointed.

What she saw was a very skinny looking hobgoblin standing a few metres away towards the east side of the battlefield, trying his best to stand properly and look threatening.

Honestly, she was expecting a very large, buff looking character like Bolzark ( In rage mode).

"My name is Genji. So? Do you accept my challenge or not?"

Hearing his bold words, which was a stark contrast to his physique and demeanour made the goblin queen a bit interested in him.

"Oh really? You want to fight me? With strength? Have you not seen your own body yet?"

"Hmph! Don't care about such things!? Do you accept my challenge or not? Tell me!"

The goblin queen would have just ignored such a character like Genji on normal days, but today at this moment she wanted to play a little bit….so she agreed!

"Sure, let's fight. Do you want me to come there? Or will you approach me?"

Hearing her words, Genji's face was replaced by a fear stricken expression, but he soon calmed down his anxious heart, trying his best to not lose his confidence.

"I will approach you, but you have to release boss 'Job' first. Don't worry, we will be fighting a fair battle. Boss Job or anyone else would not interfere in our battle."

"Boss Job?...oh, you mean her? Hm...how can you guarantee that no one will interfere?" Asked the goblin queen, there was an expression of doubt on her face.

"We won't! I'll give you my word!" Said Bob, who was currently resting to recover from his serious injuries that were subjected upon him through those wave attacks from the Goblin queen. Although he didn't know anything about what Genji was trying to do here he decided to take a gamble and help him out so that Job could be saved.

The goblin queen after getting a confirmation from Bob blinked her eyes and silently observed the current situation of the battlefield.

Most of the creatures had already run away. The remaining few were severely injured.

"Alright!"

With this, she let go of Job and threw her a bit far away on the battlefield.

Dhak!

"Cough! Cough!" Right after landing on her stomach, Job started coughing. She was breathing desperately.

After throwing her away like trash, the goblin queen stared at Genji. There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

Genji grit his teeth before he started running towards her, his expression turned ferocious!

His right hand was clenched into a fist. While running, he adjusted his body into an attacking position so that he could punch his opponent right after reaching close enough.

Just as he reached very close, the goblin queen disappeared from her position and reappeared right in front of Genji before slapping him to the ground.

Pak!

Dham!

Genji fell down like a broken doll, tears came out from his eyes. He was feeling terrible pain but he still held on and stood up with difficulty.

"I am not defeated yet!" Shouted Genji with all his might.

"Hm..I thought that it would have been fun, but you're really too weak for me.." The goblin queen shook her head in disappointment.

At first, she was a bit excited but seeing that Genji was so weak, she decided to quickly finish him off.

"Why don't I kill you right now?"

…..

Right as this fight was going on, somewhere on the battlefield Ben was silently watching all the happenings through his own eyes.

He had disappeared for quite a while now, the reason for this was because he wanted to find some weakness of this Goblin queen.

'It is time that I make my move. I hope that my guesses are correct and I don't end up severely injured after this.'

After silently praying for his safety, Ben started walking towards the goblin queen with slow steps. He was currently in his Camouflage state which he had upgraded just now in order to reach close enough to the goblin queen without getting detected by her.

…..

While Ben was walking slowly towards the goblin queen, she was also slowly approaching genji. She adjusted her body into a punching position so that she could punch Genji using a considerable amount of her strength.

"Are you ready for death?" After saying this, the goblin queen started moving her hand towards him albeit slowly. It seems like she was just trying to scare him for now.

Bob and others were breathing nervously, they were feeling a bit of pity towards Genji.

'When will our boss attack?' Asked Bob in his heart, he was only waiting for Ben to make his move.

Genji was currently shivering in fright. He couldn't move his body as he was paralyzed with fear. Seeing the incoming fist, a sort of adrenaline rush was suddenly generated inside of him!

This rush managed to warm up his heart!

Feeling this sudden energy that filled his heart, a range of beautiful memories surfaced in his mind. Genji was dazed for a while, but this did not last long as a voice had forced him out of his reverie.

"Alright! Now I will kill you for sure!"

Now, without wasting any more of her time, the goblin queen rushed forward with her attack!

'No! At least before I die, I will have to!..."

Realising that he was about to die, Genji's expression turned desperate and he suddenly shouted out so loud that the whole battlefield could hear him!

"Job!!! I love you!!!!!!"

Swishhh!

???

"Huh?"

The goblin queen stopped suddenly. Her fist stopped extremely near Genji's face. Air waves were generated due to her movement. These air waves were strong enough to throw away Genji by a few metres.

The goblin queen had stopped herself from killing Genji due to the absurd situation just now.

Honestly, this situation was a bit too much, even for her.
