After witnessing firsthand the power of Vlad and his almighty magic and swordsmanship, alongside the power and magic of Chris, Gofumina and her gobbling squadron quickly realized this entire thing was just hopeless.
"Hahaha… yeah, let's go back." Gofumina laughed, quickly nodding after realizing there was simply no point in staying anymore.
"T-This is too much… Even for us."
"Wait, what the hell? Is he really just a vampire?!"
"Yeah, Vampires are scary, man! Let's get the hell out of here!"
They quickly began moving without hesitation while Vlad and his party wiped out the Dark Spirits that they themselves had drawn to this area to prey on them, which ended up being a good hunting session for them instead.
"I'm getting the hell out of here… What was I even thinking with trying this out anyway?" Gofumina thought.
As they were about to run away, however, they bumped into something, hitting their faces headfirst into really hard… crystals. This happened often with goblins; once they lost focus or panicked, their eyes often didn't see where they were going.
"Huh?!"
In that moment, as they quickly looked up to who they bumped into, Gofumina and her team gasped in horror, realizing five huge knights, wearing armor made out of emerald jewels, stood before them, overflowing with a strange, venomous, and green-colored aura.
Their breathing was also very heavy, as if they were being asphyxiated by their own armor, and they were each one at least the height and bulk of an Orc Warrior.
And as their eyes glowed bright green… They started talking.
"Intruders that dare interrupt our rituals must be eliminated…"
"Prepare yourselves, heretics that don't worship the Emerald Maiden…"
"Your deaths shall not be swift, as these Swords of Corrosion shall offer your body to our Emerald Maiden!"
"Melt to death!"
"Die and become one with her!"
They charged forward, all five of them at once, swinging their emerald blades against Gofumina and her goblin companions!
"W-Wait a second!"
"They're attacking us?!"
"Who are these guys?"
"The hell is the Emerald Maiden?!"
The goblins panicked, pulling out their weapons and intercepting their blows, although most were blown away by the impact alone!
CRAAASH!
"Ungh…! They're tough! Where the fuck did these bastards come from?!"
Gofumina screamed as she realized her sword was beginning to melt; the emerald swords wielded by the knights were constantly exuding a strange, green-colored acid. Upon contact with her sword, it began to melt the metal while it released a disgusting-smelling smoke as it burned.
"Fucking hell… One thing after another… Give me a break!"
As she complained, the knight in front of her charged forward, swinging their sword forward constantly; their technique was rather lacking, but they made up for it with their immense physical power and speed.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"S-Shit!"
Gofumina managed to hold her own by using mostly every single Skill she had at her disposal. From [Goblin's Light Footsteps] to move rapidly around uneven terrain, [Great Swords Mastery] to move her huge sword dexterously, [Green Skin's Relentless Spirit] to decrease her Stamina consumption and increase her Stats when cornered, [Arcane Senses] to expand her Senses and manage to predict incoming, devastating blows, and lastly [Great Parry] to parry away blows occasionally and manage to strike!
CRAAASH!
Just like right now!
"G-Gugh?!"
The knight groaned as he saw Gofumina's mighty sword's [Great Parry] finally manage to connect, allowing her to not only reflect a deadly blow but strike back with full power.
Not many ever expected a small goblin woman like her to swing such a huge sword, and this was due to Gofumina having concentrated and specialized purely on physical strength even as a goblin.
She was a goblin girl fan and made her Avatar the goblin girl of her dreams and fully committed to it to the end!
Crack, crack…!
Her sword didn't manage to pierce through the emerald armor; despite being made of precious jewels, it was tougher than she imagined.
CRACK!
However, cracks spread through, which she quickly abused by jumping over her own sword and kicking down, pushing the blade forward!
CRAAASH!
"Greaaargh?!"
The Emerald Knight screamed, suddenly feeling the sword pierce through his left ribs and tear down a large piece of his bones and flesh.
As Gofumina smiled and quickly pulled out her knife to aim for the man's neck, the man quickly swung his sword back at her, catching her off guard.
"He can still move even while being this wounded?!"
SLAASH!
She evaded a deadly cleaving blow as she quickly kicked the man's head and pushed his body down, pointing her dagger at his neck.
"You're going down, buddy!"
CLASH!
"Nngaaarrgh!"
The Emerald Knight screamed in agony as Gofumina's cold dagger's blade stabbed his neck in between the crevices of his armor, easily piercing through his chainmail covering his neck.
Her unusually high Strength Stat for a Female Goblin, coupled with her many stat-boosting skills granted her enough piercing power to do this!
"Gaaaaggh! H-He… re… tic!!!"
However, even amidst his death, the Emerald Knight screamed, and as he still pointed his blade back at her, Gofumin was unable to evade, quickly using her second reserve dagger and attempting to parry the blow.
"[Great Parry]!"
As she became desperate, the sword was successfully parried, but its aura covered her gloves and her dagger, beginning to rapidly melt them.
"Uaagh!"
She threw away her gloves and her second dagger after that, before quickly using her other dagger and stabbing the man's neck several times; he finally died after the tenth stab.
"Haahh… Hahhh… W-What a tough son of a bitch! I almost died there… And I don't want to deal with a death penalty in this damned game…"
As she quickly sighed in relief, she glanced around her, calling if the goblins were still alive or if they escaped…
And yet, it was awfully silent.
"Guys? Where are you guys- Ah!"
She screamed the moment she ended up tumbling into one of her goblin companions; his body looked disfigured, as there was green, oozy acid constantly consuming his flesh and bones.
He was dead…
"N-No, shit!"
She ran around, looking for the rest, finding them in similar situations. Two others were dropped dead on the black grass, and another was being carried, his body melting while an emerald knight brought him towards him, his body impaled into the blade.
"Heretics are the luckiest of them all… You have the privilege of… dying by her graceful touch… by the Emerald Maiden's lovely kiss!"
He swung his blade, dropping the dismembered, melting body of his ally.
She didn't know any of these goblins for longer than a day, though, but they were still her team, and she was responsible for their well-being.
Gofumina tried to remain calm, but the weight of despair and that she had failed these men and women made her quickly feel horrible.
"N-No, no, no! Guys! Shit… fuck!"
The four Emerald Knights slowly walked towards her, their swords overflowing with red auras. They didn't even flinch after they saw one of their own dead.
"You fuckers will pay for this!" Gofumina quickly ran away from there, rushing towards her victim's body and storing it inside her inventory instantly.
"I can't outrun them for long! The only option is… Ugh! Do I have to?! Fucking hell!"
She ran towards the group of Dark Spirits, and then glared at the Vampire Prince from below.
"SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE! SOMEONE!"
Vlad, who was concentrating on training his swordsmanship, didn't hear her at first, focused on his battle. But someone else did.
"Huh? A goblin?"
Emerlinda glanced down below, noticing four emerald knights walking towards the goblin girl, carrying huge swords with them.
"W-Who are those people?!"
