Chapter 42 - Goblins And Ogres

As he slashed goblins ferociously, Leonard thought to himself, 'As expected of the Divine Eyes skill owner! He saw in the little bit of future ahead what is going to transpire! If we are not ready, then, these little bastards would probably done a huge deal of damage before we could deal with them!'

At the same time, Prince Heracles was using the two of his passive skills to deal with the goblins. 'As expected of my Alexander's Swordsmanship passive skill! It is pretty much aligned with the passive effects of the Divine Eyes skill!' Heracles thought to himself as he slashed goblins that are attacking them viciously.

As he fought alongside his two comrades, Prince Elijah could not help but wonder, "These are Trow Goblins, right!? Why are they attacking us in broad daylight!? Aren't they supposed to be active at night!?"

"Monsters in dungeons like these usually behaves different from monsters outside! That's why things like you thought it would rarely happened occurs usually here!" explained Leonard with a serious expression.

After dealing with the half of the goblins, Heracles suddenly had a very ominous premonition. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "OGRES ARE COMING! WE NEED TO FINISH EVERY GOBLIN OR ELSE WE WOULD BE OUTNUMBERED!"

At that very moment, Prince Elijah and Leonard began their preparation. Heracles began using some spells after one another to quickly annihilate his little enemies.

"Fiery Flame!"

"Inferno Blaze!"

After using his powerful spells, he was able to decimate half of the remaining goblins. They were burned by a fiery red flame and a black flame that send them instantly into the oblivious. At the next moment, Prince Elijah decided to use some of his spell as well.

"Great Crescent Slash!"

"Tearing The Behemoth!!

The tenth prince launched a huge slash one after the another. He was able to decimate the remaining goblins that managed to survive Heracles's scorching flames.

'I am really not needed here!' Leonard thought to himself as he charged toward the direction from which ogres would come. "They are mountain ogres, princes! They have a pretty thick-skinned! So the two of you better use a lot of efforts on cutting them!" Leonard shouted as he began his attacks.

At that moment, Prince Elijah and Heracles followed after their escort knight's lead without idling for a moment. Before they could reach their enemies, the two prince decided to use a spell of their own to amplify their strength.

Heracles shouted at the top of his lungs, "THUNDER PHYSIQUE!"

At the same time, Prince Elijah shouted, "Imperial Guard!"

Heracles was surrounded with the essence of thunder that great increases his attacks and speed. At the same time, Prince Elijah was surrounded with an armor made up of particles of lights. This armor also amplified his speed and overall power.

Without a moment of hesitation, the two princes of the domain attacked the incoming ogres. Without being able to do anything, the ogres got sliced into many pieces by the swords of the two princes.

As he watched the two prince, Leonard decided to step back and let them take care of the rest. 'I will probable leave everything to them! When I finished my main task in this dungeon, I would leave, so it's better for them if they can get used to it as soon as possible!' Leonard thought to himself with a smile on his face.

The two princes noticed that Leonard exited the battlefield as soon as he did. Still, they understood his intention, so they continued fighting like there was no tomorrow. Before they knew it, Prince Heracles and Prince Elijah finished every last of the mountain orcs that attacked them.

"That should do it!" Heracles said after he slashed to death the last remaining orc. He continued, "It took us thirty minutes before we could deal with all of them! We must find way to improve our capabilities!"

"I agree!" said in response by Prince Elijah as he nod. They walked slowly toward Leonard's direction after they finished their fight. Before they could reach him, Heracles suddenly received a premonition. "Incoming enemies!!! This time, Kobolds are coming!!!" he shouted as he drew his sword.

Leonard charged toward the direction Heracles pointed to. He said with a smile, "Please rest this time, princes. Let me deal with these kobolds by myself! THUNDEROUS BODY!"

At that very moment, a huge amount of thunder essences surrounded his body. Using an extreme speed, Leonard dealt with the kobolds one after the another as the two princes watched behind him.

"Second Uncle really has a knack for finding great people! A person of his power is easily able to become the leader of one of the Overlord Corps!" said Prince Elijah with a little reverence. "Yeah! Leonard is really something else! I don't know the story, but he is the one insisting not to be promoted to a higher rank! That's why he remained to be my personal escort knight until today!" Heracles said with a smile on his face.

In less than fifteen minutes, Leonard came back as he swiped the blood of the monsters from his sword. "The deed has been done, princes. I think we can continue our journey from here!" said Leonard with a calm composure.

"Let us continue finding the boss room, then!" Heracles said with a smile on his face.

As they walked together, Heracles could not help but wonder to himself, 'Leonard has always been on my side ever since I was a child, but I don't know anything about him. He's always like that. He would always help me grow as a person, but he is not sharing anything about himself.'

The three continued traversing the mountainous terrain of the second floor as they fought their ways toward their target. As they talked among each other, Heracles's curiosity about his long-time escort knight began to grow bigger as he thinks about it.

"Hey, Leonard... I am just wondering. You never shared about anything about yourself after all this time. Where did you came from before you serve my father?"
