Chapter 37: Instant Kill, Goblin Slayer's Strength!
Chapter 38: I am the Goblin King!
Hearing this, everyone began preparing to launch an attack!
At that moment, the ground started to shake continuously, as if something was about to emerge from below!
The next second!
"Swish!!!"
Three sharp bone spikes suddenly burst out around Gru! It was like a barbecue skewer!
Three gray hat mages were immediately skewered.
"Help, help me…"
"My ass! My ass got pierced!"
"Ahhh!"
After a few seconds of agonizing screams, the three lost their breath.
Gobu Shan relished their screams and twisted expressions, taking a deep breath, "What a wonderful voice. Boss, can I have more?"
"Damn pervert, do whatever you want."
Lin Tian felt a wave of disgust. He knew this guy was twisted, but not to this extent!
He finally understood, 'Look at those chrysanthemums blooming all over the mountain~.'
Seeing this, Cecil raised the Holy Light Sword and charged first, slashing at Gobu Shan.
Facing an attack that had a restraining effect on monsters, Gobu Shan did not even attempt to dodge. He blocked it with a swipe of his bone tail!
His left hand transformed into a long bone spike and thrust towards Cecil.
"This guy is hard to deal with!"
Cecil quickly retreated, falling back into the Blizzard Formation.
The Holy Light couldn't cause restraining damage to pure bones. It was too difficult to fight head-on.
At this moment, Gobu Kuang led a large batch of goblins in a fierce attack.
The magicians, terrified by the sight of the three corpses, didn't know what to do. They were too scared to attack, thinking only of using defensive magic to protect their fragile chrysanthemums.
"What are you standing there for?! A bunch of idiots!"
Gru cursed angrily, preparing to use magic to repel the goblins.
But then he felt a chill below!
He quickly stepped back.
"Swish!"
Another bone spike shot up.
Gru panted heavily in fear, "That was close! Almost lost my chrysanthemum!"
"Shame, boss. Should we go all out now?" Gobu Shan asked.
Seeing their formation already disrupted, Lin Tian said, "It's about time, finish them off!"
"Roar!"
Gobu Kuang lifted the silver shield of a shield bearer and swung his massive axe wildly.
With one strike, the shield knight's armor cracked. The second strike left him dizzy. By the third strike, he was split in half.
Over a hundred big goblins joined the attack!
Facing this frenzied assault, Cecil couldn't care less about anything else. "Run! Retreat! I think we've fallen into a trap! Why are there so many big goblins?! So many!!!"
Logically, a goblin tribe should mostly consist of low-level small goblins.
Those were easy to kill.
But now, they faced over a hundred fully armed big goblins!
There were even hero variants and mutant variants!
As Cecil and the others tried to mount their horses to escape, a volley of arrows whizzed through the air!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
A barrage of arrows scattered their carnivorous horses.
There was no way to ride them.
Cecil's legs trembled in fear, "It's over. I should have expected the elves would use ambush tactics, should have known!!"
Then, he ignored the others and ran forward in a frenzy.
Behind him, screams of agony filled the air!
Cecil turned around and saw what seemed like the most tragic scene in the world! He was so scared he nearly cried, "I have to escape! I have to escape! Dad! I surrender, send the regular army!"
He saw seven or eight people skewered by Gobu Shan's bone spikes, avoiding fatal points, leaving them writhing in agony but unable to break free.
They made pitiful squeals.
"Hehehe, Gobu Kuang, don't kill them yet. Let me play with them first." Gobu Shan laughed wickedly.
Gobu Kuang shoved Gru onto a bone spike in front of him, "Alright."
"No, no! Cecil! Save me!"
Gru's tears and snot flowed freely from the pain, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes nearly popping out!
But Cecil had no intention of helping him.
He noticed something moving quickly through the surrounding trees!
Too fast! He was quickly overtaken!
"Help, someone help me!"
Cecil finally burst into tears. After all, he was just a nineteen-year-old who had barely reached adulthood.
With death closing in around him, he couldn't hold it together anymore.
At that moment, he saw a figure, a full-armor figure that brought a sense of safety!
Goblin Slayer!
"Sir! Please, save me!"
Cecil stretched out his hand and shouted, his face full of pleading!
If possible, he wouldn't hesitate to kneel before her.
Seeing their miserable state was within Goblin Slayer's expectations, "Just a mutant variant? Well, it might be a bit interesting."
Cecil used all his strength, faster! Faster!
He had to reach her side quickly!
But disaster always struck faster than him.
The goblin assassins from the bushes immediately acted, jumping on him and starting to stab and bite crazily.
Fortunately, Cecil's armor was thick, so he wasn't injured, but his steps were slowed down.
He stumbled, unable to walk properly.
No matter what he did, he couldn't shake off the goblins; they clung to him like glue.
His weapon was snatched first.
This was Lin Tian's special training for the goblins, to steal weapons whenever possible.
Suddenly, Cecil's vision went black!
Gobu Tian leaped out and grabbed his face, his claws sharper than makeshift short swords.
A few scratches destroyed the helmet.
Gobu Tian opened his foul-smelling mouth full of sharp teeth, ready to bite down!
As if having a buffet.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a dagger flew over, stabbing Gobu Tian in the back!
In pain, he jumped away, twisting on the ground as if in extreme agony!
Sensing something was wrong, he stumbled and ran towards Lin Tian.
The other goblin assassins were also hit by daggers.
All of them twisted on the ground in pain, as if they were trying to break their own bones!
Finally, they let out a final scream and lost their breath.
They died in twisted shapes.
Cecil crawled to Goblin Slayer's feet, trembling, "Thank you! Thank you! I will repay you!"
"Will you obey?" Goblin Slayer asked calmly, picking up the daggers as she spoke.
Cecil nodded frantically.
Goblin Slayer then said, "If you obey, then get as far away from me as possible, you ridiculous child."
"What are you going to do? Don't go! This isn't an ordinary goblin tribe, there's definitely a Goblin Overlord! This is the first time I've seen a tribe where only big variants are fighting! Don't go, don't go!"
Cecil almost shouted, wishing he could kneel and beg her.
However, Goblin Slayer didn't care, "Really? I was worried there wouldn't be a Goblin Overlord. The more, the better; that would satisfy me."
Then she walked forward with relaxed, powerful steps.
At this moment, Gobu Shan and his group were toying with the skewered Gru and others.
Facing their eyes, which looked at them like they were small barbecue skewers, they were about to collapse from fear!
It was too cruel and terrifying!
They wished someone would kill them quickly; the pain and torture were worse than death!
"Swish!"
Suddenly, a small dagger flew over.
It stabbed into Gobu Kuang's body.
He could ignore such an attack, casually pulling it out, "What is this?"
While he was still puzzled, his eyes suddenly trembled!
Intense pain shot from the wound to his head!
His muscles bulged, and he started crashing around wildly, biting his teeth!
He knocked over several big trees and then slammed into a boulder, passing out on the spot.
"What's going on? Gobu Kuang, are you crazy?"
Gobu Shan was shocked, and the other big goblins looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Gru and the others noticed the figure in front of them, "Goblin Slayer!"
They felt like they had seen their savior!
They wanted to shout but didn't dare, fearing their chrysanthemums might burst.
After all, science showed that when people shouted loudly, their anuses would vibrate with each word.
For those with hemorrhoids, it would push out a bit.
Lin Tian had noticed her arrival long ago but couldn't figure out what technique she used!
Killing the goblin assassins was one thing, but now Gobu Kuang and Gobu Tian were down!
Uncertain if they were dead or alive.
Gobu Shan saw her too, swinging his bone tail and stabbing fiercely!
Goblin Slayer caught the tail with one hand, pulled out a huge broadsword with the other, and slashed down hard!
The entire tail was chopped off!
Though Gobu Shan didn't feel any pain, he lost a weapon.
Goblin Slayer, bored, tossed the bone tail aside, shouldering the rusty broadsword, "Are you the leader of these goblins?"
She found it hard to believe.
How could such a rabble of goblins defeat the Sword Saintess?
It couldn't be their strength, could it be intelligence?
That seemed even less likely.
Gobu Shan was furious, "Kill her!"
With his command, all the big goblins charged!
Goblin Slayer remained calm, spinning with her broadsword in a whirlwind!
Several big goblins were severely injured or had limbs severed.
Not instantly killed, but the strange scene happened again!
The injured goblins screamed and twisted madly! Soon, they stopped moving.
In less than a minute, thirty to forty big goblins had died!
Continuing to attack was just suicide.
Lin Tian watched from the sky, his expression grim, "Damn it, what technique is she using? The system shows her skills are just basic attacks, no magic?"
Yet now, he had suffered an unprecedented loss!
In such a short time.
The remaining big goblins were too scared to continue attacking.
"Clear the way!"
At this moment, Gobu Shan shouted loudly.
So the goblins retreated one after another.
In the distance, on the tree branches, graceful figures lurked, drawing their longbows.
The sound of taut bowstrings echoed!
"Whoosh!"
Countless arrows shot towards Goblin Slayer.
However, they were all blocked by the heavy iron armor.
Lin Tian found it hard to believe, "No wonder the armor is so heavy; it can ignore ranged attacks and even withstand magic."
The arrows were ineffective, so the elves ceased their attack.
Continuing to shoot would be a waste, and in a melee, they might accidentally injure the goblins.
"Come on, entertain me."
Goblin Slayer said contemptuously, looking at Gobu Shan.
It seemed she didn't regard the mutant variant at all.
Seeing this situation, the people who were still barely hanging on felt a glimmer of hope!
Gru hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, can you let me down first? I beg you, I'm about to die! I have high-level recovery potions!"
With high-level recovery potions, there was still hope. But if he continued to be skewered, not even a god could save him.
However, Goblin Slayer swung her broad sword!
She directly beheaded him on the spot, cutting him in half along with the bone spike!
"Thunk!"
The others were frightened and tensed up; she actually killed someone!
Whose side was this guy on?
"Quit your whining and just die already, to avoid more pain." Goblin Slayer said nonchalantly.
Killing a person meant nothing to her.
Unlike the legend that said she only killed goblins, she would kill anyone she didn't like, even humans.
Gobu Shan's face began to twist grotesquely, and the bone spikes on his body mutated!
The spikes on his back grew longer, the chest armor thicker, and his tusks protruded almost covering his eyes.
The nails on his hands turned into long sharp spikes, with bone spikes around his wrist guards providing even more protection.
Bone horns also sprouted from his forehead.
Blood-red energy spilled from his eyes!
Berserk transformation!
"A mad bull? Heh heh heh." Goblin Slayer said calmly.
Gobu Shan, like a crazed bull, lunged forward!
The blood light from his claws almost seemed to carve the space itself!
"Bang!"
Immediately, Goblin Slayer swung her broad sword, forcibly knocking Gobu Shan away. He slammed into a boulder, cracking it.
In the next second, Gobu Shan had already charged back!
His bone claws scraped the heavy armor, producing an ear-piercing 'zzz' sound.
After a long bout, they only left five-millimeter-deep claw marks.
It couldn't penetrate directly.
Lin Tian observed from afar, realizing that using the Elemental Hand Crossbow would be useless.
Wind, water, fire, poison—all couldn't penetrate.
The armor was too thick and heavy; even wind elements couldn't create an impact.
Perhaps lightning elements could work, but it was autumn, and he hadn't heard a single thunderclap in a month.
Facing the berserk Gobu Shan, Goblin Slayer didn't want to play for too long, so she simply grabbed his bone horns and broke them off!
She then thrust them into Gobu Shan's eyes!
The intense pain made him turn to flee.

But he was grabbed by the tail again.
"Die."
Goblin Slayer raised her broad sword high, ready to chop Gobu Shan to death!
Seeing this, the other goblins rushed up!
But it was too late. Without Gobu Kuang's violent output and Gobu Tian's sneak attacks, the other big goblins were at most super soldiers.
"Crack!"
She cut off all the bone spikes on Gobu Shan's back and shoulders.
However, the broad sword only embedded partway into his shoulder and didn't go all the way through.
Without the bone frame's protection, he would've been cut in half long ago.
Lin Tian didn't just stand idly by; he gathered a large amount of earth elements and fired charged attacks!
The sticky clumps of earth directly stuck to Goblin Slayer's feet and body, making it difficult for her to move.
In this situation, Lin Tian pondered, "Should we retreat? But this guy has many mysteries, and is an excellent breeding tool."
The mystery was why her dagger could temporarily incapacitate Gobu Kuang and Gobu Tian.
Low-level goblins died immediately.
And those ears.
After much deliberation, Lin Tian decided to change his attack strategy.
If melee, ranged, and ambushes didn't work, then use attrition warfare.
At this time, Lin Tian appeared, riding a wyvern, and commanded, "Everyone back up, form a circle! Advance when she retreats, retreat when she advances! Throw stones if you have them, use ranged attacks if you can!"
Hearing this, Goblin Slayer was slightly surprised and looked up, "A wyvern-riding goblin?! I knew this place wouldn't disappoint me!"
Lin Tian continued to use earth elements to restrain her.
The other goblins started to harass her.
Large stones were continuously thrown at Goblin Slayer, making her stagger as she struggled to stay upright.
Goblin Slayer mocked, "Is this all you can do? Don't let me down."
"Hmph, it's not over yet. Cut down the trees!"
At Lin Tian's command, the other goblins began chopping down trees over ten meters long.
A few goblins lifted the trees and repeatedly rammed them against Goblin Slayer.
Although the effect was minimal, constantly wearing her down would soon exhaust her.
This lasted for over an hour. The goblins kept sweeping and ramming with the trees, bombarding her with large stones, and using earth elements to weigh her down and slow her movements.
Finally, Goblin Slayer began to pant heavily from exhaustion.
But the surrounding goblins were also almost too tired to continue and needed a break.
Lin Tian proudly said, "I wonder how long you can keep this up? Underestimating the goblins will be your death!"
At this moment, Goblin Slayer lifted the visor of her helmet.
He was puzzled, not knowing what she intended to do.
Goblin Slayer picked up Gru's corpse, cut off pieces of flesh, and stuffed them into her mouth!
After chewing a few pieces, she stuck out her rosy tongue to lick off the remaining blood and meat.
She then put the visor back down.
While the goblins were resting, she suddenly seemed revitalized, launching a surprise attack!
Goblin Slayer coldly said, "Resting? How can it compare to directly replenishing energy?"
In a flash, she was among the goblins, swinging her broad sword and killing one with each strike! Some were directly cut down, while others died from the mysterious power that caused them excruciating pain.
The goblins who had the upper hand just moments ago were now fleeing in all directions!
Even Gobu Shan dared not approach.
But from a distance, Goblin Slayer pulled out a small dagger from her waist and flung it at Gobu Shan!
Prepared for the attack, Gobu Shan watched it carefully.
However, he had seen Gobu Kuang collapse after being stabbed just once.
He hurriedly used his broken bone tail to block it.
"Swish!"
He blocked the first dagger but couldn't stop the second.
Immediately, around the small dagger the size of a pinky, his veins bulged!
The pain engulfed Gobu Shan, making him feel as if a force was devouring him from within!
He rolled on the ground in agony!

Even the bones on his body began to fall off one by one.
Lin Tian thought to himself that he had underestimated this Goblin Slayer. "Damn, what kind of person is this? She can recover by eating flesh? Isn't that a goblin ability?!"
Given the situation, it was better to retreat now.
Gobu Kuang and Gobu Shan could die if necessary.
After all, he already had hundreds of breeding tools and a secret cave.
He could quickly produce more goblins.
"To me, they are just expendable."
As Lin Tian prepared to take Ifreya and leave, Goblin Slayer spoke. "I can spare their lives if you let me see you. I want to see what kind of goblin can be so powerful. It's been a long time, seven years? No, ten years since I've seen such a clever and strong goblin."
Tactics, behind-the-scenes control, dragon riding, controlling elves, and cultivating so many high-level variants.
Such an existence was exceptional among goblins.
In some ways, even the Goblin King had not achieved this.
Lin Tian sneered, "Spare me that nonsense. Do you think I'll believe you?"
Hearing this, Goblin Slayer threw away her broad sword.
"Clang!"
She wasn't done yet; she began removing her armor! She took off her helmet.
Revealing her fluffy, slightly curly golden hair and beautiful face, she asked, "Is this enough?"
Seeing her revealed, the goblins watching from afar were stunned!
She was incredibly beautiful!
The kind that stirred one's desires.
But in front of them was a rose with thorns; thinking was one thing, but no one dared to approach.
Even those skewered individuals, and Cecil, were dumbfounded, "A woman? Goblin Slayer is actually a woman!"
Seeing this, Lin Tian was completely bewildered. What was this woman up to?
She had discarded her sword and helmet.
Now Lin Tian was confident he could subdue her, using poison elements to accurately hit her head.
However, she mentioned sparing Gobu Shan and others, which meant there was still hope.
He signaled Xiao Huan to slowly land.
Preparing to negotiate with her.
Goblin Slayer's breath became rapid and heated, her beautiful face flushed.
She looked as if she was on the verge of a climax, "Huff, huff, what kind of goblin are you?"
Finally, Lin Tian dismounted from the dragon, standing about ten meters away from her.
"What!"
Seeing Lin Tian's appearance, Goblin Slayer's expression changed instantly.
From ecstatic and excited to shocked and confused, "Impossible, how can you be a low-level goblin?"
"As you wished, satisfied? Now save the one over there, and the other goblins too." Lin Tian said coldly.
But Goblin Slayer tilted her head, looking puzzled, unable to accept this, "How can this be? Impossible, impossible."
She looked quite cute like this.
But there was no time to waste, Gobu Shan was convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
"Are you playing with me?"
Lin Tian's eyes were filled with murderous intent, ready to act immediately.
Reluctantly, Goblin Slayer took out a small bottle containing bright red liquid.
She walked over to Gobu Shan and dripped a drop into his mouth.
Soon, he calmed down, just lying on the ground gasping for breath, unable to move.
She then went to Gobu Kuang and Gobu Tian, giving each a drop of the liquid.
Lin Tian frowned, asking suspiciously, "Are you a witch? What kind of disgusting sorcery is this?"
It seemed like she was using witchcraft.
"Witchcraft? Hmph, who uses that stuff? I am the Goblin King."
Goblin Slayer stopped and looked at Lin Tian with determination, saying each word clearly.
