Slippery Floor.
Unnatural Rage.
Frost Ball.
Three skills were used in a matter of seconds. The Goblin King moved but didn't expect the floor to be slippery.
The thin layer of ice was wet and smooth. Just as the Goblin King raised its foot and placed it down, its feet slipped, and it fell to the ground.
Without even needing the command, the two superior goblins understood their lord's intent. They raised their weapons from two sides and attacked.
As they were spear wielders, they didn't have to be close to the Goblin King to attack. Their spears reached towards the Goblin King from outside the layer of ice.
Since Lan Sol had activated Unnatural Rage, their attacks were twice as strong, as they had also used their skill, Superior Stab.
Their aim was clear: the bald head of the Goblin King. Two spears pierced the skin and collided with the skull.
But its skull was hard and couldn't be broken through. However, the damage was incredibly low.
[-50 HP!]
[-50 HP!]
Due to its high constitution, the damage was pitifully low compared to its health.
The two of them managed to stab it three times before the Goblin King roared like a beast and slammed its fist on the ground.
The ice layer was broken easily. And maybe it seemed impossible, but the Goblin King casually jumped while lying down.
It did a little push-up and used that force to jump, getting into stance. It was so overwhelmingly weird for a goblin of that size to do such a cool stunt, which made Lan Sol's mouth agape.
For a moment, he was stunned—not by sheer shock, but by the coolness of the move.
'So cool.' As an athlete, something like that seemed difficult to pull off flawlessly.
He wasn't a professional, but he could do simple gymnastics and was very agile. But that move was in the realm of perfection.
Pushing the ground, jumping while lying on the stomach, and landing perfectly—it was simply cool.
However, he instantly came back to his senses and continued bombarding with the Frost Ball.
But he gave up after seeing the '-1 HP,' which was in the realm of useless, not just weak.
From behind, the two superior goblins stabbed its… butt.
"Kkkkkkrrrr!" The Goblin King's face turned red—not with pain, but with humiliation.
Yeah, getting impaled by a spear in that part… simply humiliation for a king, as it didn't even cause him that much pain. It was only '-20 HP.'
Thud!
It raised its leg and kicked the ground, causing the ground to shake.
Green light covered its body as it healed.
[1500/1500]
Full health instantly.
Dangerous Defense.
Deadly Rage.
Both were activated, and a transparent, glass-like barrier covered its body, which seemed to have small spikes. Likewise, its body was glowing dark red.
Without any care, it swung its club in the air and rushed at the group.
"Krrr!"
"Kaakrrr!"
The poor goblin soldiers, who had done nothing, were massacred.
Thankfully, its speed wasn't that great, so both the superior goblins and Lan Sol managed to escape its wrath.
But the ordinary goblin soldiers died after a couple of hits, as their health wasn't that high, let alone their speed and defense.
[Your territory member 'Goblin Soldier 1' has died.]
[Your territory member 'Goblin Soldier 2' has died.]
…
All of them died, but as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. The Goblin King's buff ended and fell into cooldown.
As stated, the barrier wouldn't disappear until it was shattered and wouldn't allow much physical or elemental damage. Lan Sol casually turned the floor under the Goblin King to ice, making it fall again.
Without its rage and speed, it wasn't hard to make it fall.
The escaped superior goblins casually used the opportunity to attack as much as they could.
Even when the Goblin King did the same jump stunt, they didn't run to dodge but continued attacking.
While Lan Sol easily made the floor below it icy again, the Goblin King fell… again.
It was a simple strategy, but very effective.
It only had 12 spirit points, and even though it was an elite, tier 2 creature, Lan Sol guessed its mana wasn't above 200.
Most of its skills should consume large amounts of mana, such as the rage and defense skills.
Lan Sol had buffed his followers and managed to deal with the shield within a minute.
The barrier takes much more damage than the Goblin King, after all, and isn't as sturdy as its bone and skin.
So for four minutes, there would be no rage, and for 10 minutes, no barrier.
It was highly unrealistic to defeat it within that time frame, though.
"Krr!" The Goblin King roared, struggling uselessly. Even if it tried its hardest to maintain balance, the two superior goblins would attack its highly inappropriate places, which would anger the Goblin King further and make it act rashly, causing it to lose balance and fall again.
When it's down, the most perfect place to hit was its head.
But without Superior Stab, only 25 damage was done, even thanks to the buff.
It was truly an annoying enemy. And it could heal too, meaning all the attacks would be for nothing.
Fortunately, there should be no mana recovery skills or equipment with it, so as long as they could exhaust its mana, they could deal with it with ease. It's very dangerous when it's in rage and has its barrier.
Lan Sol stopped using the slippery floor. "No matter how effective it is, I have to save my mana too." It took a full minute to use 5 MP, and that was instantly consumed by the slippery floor alone.
He couldn't continue buffing them either, as it's the most expensive spell in terms of mana. He didn't have that high of a mana pool, so he couldn't splurge like it was nothing.
He didn't have infinite mana, after all.
"Plan: hit and run! Begin!" With Lan Sol's order, the two superior goblins shouted, "Okay!" and hit the Goblin King for the last time before running away.
Without the slippery floor, the Goblin King got its footing and rushed at them.
The two goblins easily ran, even sliding beneath the Goblin King's legs.
"Ah. That's… so… what to say…" Even Lan Sol was flabbergasted by them.
Sliding underneath the Goblin King's legs and stabbing its balls.
It was inappropriate, but not bad. The problem was that it didn't do much damage and only further agitated the King.
Well, agitation wasn't bad as it would make the Goblin King charge at them like a truck, but it was also dangerous because it would ignore everything else and just charge at them.
Truly like a truck.
But the plan went… perfectly.
The Goblin King was so fixated on the two superior goblins that it forgot Lan Sol's existence.
Lan Sol casually snuck behind from time to time and caused meager damage.
Phase 2 began shortly after.
With buffs, the Goblin King charged mostly at the two superior goblins at full speed.
While the two of them dealt damage with the hit-and-run strategy, this time they purely ran.
It would be beyond idiotic to attack the Goblin King at this point.
Lan Sol also buffed them, and he himself was buffed, so he just continued attacking the Goblin King from behind.
He didn't dare to attack in places his subordinates had hit, like its butthole, crotch, and balls.
Their whole attack range was in its reach. What could they do? Their height didn't even reach the Goblin King's stomach.
"Let's not agitate it toward me," Lan Sol said, as it was terrifying to watch the bloodshot eyes and raging, disgusting face, straight out of a nightmare, with a massive body chasing them with a club.
Yeah, not even nightmares could be this terrifying, Lan Sol thought.
But it was pretty much to his favor, as those two had taken the aggro, and Lan Sol's existence was completely forgotten by the big guy.
"Yeah! It's the tenth time!" Two minutes later…
Without the raging state, Gol sneaked up behind the Goblin King while it was chasing Gam and pushed the spear inside its butt.
Lan Sol shuddered hearing one of the most pitiful screams come out of the Goblin King's mouth.
At this rate, the Goblin King might enjoy it, Lan Sol feared.
"Let's hope it doesn't wake up to some kink," Lan Sol muttered. He would prefer to kill it, even if it may somehow be miraculously tamed by the penetration of the thick spear.
"Krr..." Exhausted, maybe, the Goblin King softly swung its club at Gol and Gam from behind, rushing toward him.
But it was a trap!
The Goblin King immediately kicked Gam. Gam used his dash skill and slid beneath the Goblin King's legs with his spear raised.
The Goblin King was so terrified by the attack on his crotch and balls, it had clamped its thighs, but when kicking, it raised its leg.
And it became its fatal mistake as the spear collided with its balls again.
The Goblin King was naked, by the way. The clothes couldn't handle the torture from the spear, and there were so many holes and tears that they fell off a long time ago.
One large mass of dangling meat and two fat balls were in plain view. Lan Sol wished he didn't have to watch that scenery, but he felt his balls shivering when the spear hit the Goblin King's balls at such speed.
It must be very painful despite not causing too much damage.
[988/1500]
The Goblin King's health had decreased by a lot.
[+100 HP]
…
It healed up to full health again and charged.
Maybe fed up with those two, the King shifted its attack toward Lan Sol.
Lan Sol was chilling, watching the battle.
The battle wasn't intense, as the Goblin King had mana, and it was useless to fight it using everything right away.
Saving both mana and energy was necessary.
"KRR!" It had a terrifying expression as it stared not at Lan Sol's face but at his crotch.
It had a look saying, 'I will return everything they did to me to you!'
"No way!" Lan Sol shuddered and made the floor icy.
Thud!
The Goblin King slipped and fell loudly. The floor shook from the impact.
Lan Sol jumped on top of the Goblin King's back and slashed the back of its head with the buff on.
[-20 HP!]
[-15 HP!]
It was a critical hit, but the damage was too little.
Lan Sol jumped along with the Goblin King and landed perfectly while the Goblin King slipped again.
This skit continued for a while.
Three attacks from three different places.
Two doing inappropriate attacks and one not even letting it stand up.
The most pitiful existence in the dungeon became the Goblin King as it couldn't attack nor maintain its dignity.
An hour passed!
The Goblin King had no mana left, couldn't use any skills, and was on the ground.
"Attack now! No holding back!"
Lan Sol shouted as he buffed everyone.
The attack was now serious.
If the previous attacks were playing around, now they were attacking seriously.
The three of them were energetic, while the most exhausted one was the Goblin King.
The three separated, taking turns to rest while the Goblin King chased them.
Its existence became literally a joke to them, but it was still dangerous. If they weren't fast, they would have been bashed to death.
Well, if one of them had been caught, the Goblin King would have tortured them mercilessly before killing them.
The Goblin King's face was calm, as if it had accepted its fate. It jumped for survival but didn't try to land safely.
As it landed, its feet slipped and it fell again.
[-50 HP!]
[-50 HP!]
With the buff and Superior Stab, the two goblins did the most damage.
[485/1500]
Its health was less than half.
Lan Sol rested for a while, then did the same strategy again. The two goblins attacked, rested, and attacked again.
In another thirty minutes, the Goblin King died at the hands of Lan Sol, who delivered the final blow.
[Successfully killed the Goblin King (LV. 5 Tier 2 Elite). Gained 5000 EXP!]
[Combatant Gol received 3000 EXP. Combatant Gam received 3000 EXP.]
[You have leveled up! Current Level: 6]
[Your stats have increased! Strength +2, Agility +2, Spirit +3, Constitution +2]
[Your territory member 'Gol' has leveled up! Current Level: 6]
[Your territory member 'Gam' has leveled up! Current Level: 6]
"Wow, level up again!" His mana, speed, and strength increased tremendously. It should be the same for the two superior goblins, but they might be stronger than him in raw strength, as they were elite.
"For now, let's decompose the boss's body!"
He was more excited about this than the level up.
"Gam, I leveled up!"
"What a coincidence. Me too!"
"Want to see who's stronger?"
"What's there to see? Did you forget how much you cried when I kicked your balls? Want me to do that again?"
"My brother, don't forget you couldn't sit for a week when I poked my spear in your ass. So don't joke around, or I'll make sure your ass hurts for a month."
"We'll see about that."
Both brothers were eager to test their new strengths.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." He sighed. "You two, if you have that much energy, go search for the chest," Lan Sol ordered.
"You are saved for now. Lord's order has saved you, be grateful."
"I was going to say the same to you."
[Due to your timely order, your territory member 'Gol' has survived not getting kicked in the balls. His loyalty towards you has increased! Loyalty increased by 3!]
[Due to your timely order, your territory member 'Gam' has survived not getting pierced in the ass by a spear. His loyalty towards you has increased! Loyalty increased by 5!]
Lan Sol: "..."
"I'll pretend I didn't see that." He clicked on the decompose button.
[Epic Goblin Soul *1]
[Goblin King's Rare Heart *1]
[Sturdy Goblin King's Bone *100]
Before Lan Sol could revel in his joy, he heard his followers' voices.
He came to them, and there was another silver chest, a little more beautiful than the previous one, with some beautiful patterns.
"Go and search for more chests," he shooed the two goblins to work before they began their weird conversation.
