Chapter 34
"Well, this just got tricky." Grey sighed as he looked at the adversaries in front of him.
"You human and dwarf have the guts to come into my base to attack me? Now you will pay with your lives." The goblin lord laughed out loud.
"Oh!? It can communicate in human language? This is a first for me." Grey said surprised.
After speaking with them, the goblin lord started speaking in an unknown language towards his army and they all unleashed their weapons towards Grey and Randin.
"Attack the intruders!" The goblin lord shouted and the fifty remaining goblins charged right at them.
"Earth magic! Sink!" Grey shouted with his hands held out and the goblins which were in front all got their feet stuck to the ground then looking closely, they were being sucked into the ground like as if they were standing on quick sand.
"A mage? And a powerful one at that?" The goblin lord said as he saw at least 20 goblins sinking into the quick sand.
'Sink allowed me to make my opponents sink into the ground by making the Earth beneath their feet like sand. One more trick taught to me by the mage from his book.' Grey thought with a smirk on his face.
The remaining thirty goblins all jumped over the sinking goblins heading towards them with full force.
"Wind magic! Wind blade!" He shouted again and quickly, dozens of invisible wind blades sliced the goblins that were sinking into the ground up.
Slowly, the remaining thirty goblins were now almost upon them.
"I need more time for something." Grey said panicking.
"I got you!" Randin shouted as he bolted towards the oncoming goblins and they all shot out lightning bolts towards him.
'I have learnt my lesson from before so I won't repeat them again.' Randin thought as a big shield appeared in front of him taking the brunt of the lightning strikes heading his way earlier.
'Good thing I had discovered the technique and technology to create a pendant which will allow me to summon any equipment that I stored in it.
Although the pendant on my neck might look small, it is still big enough to store any amount of equipment in it but it still has a limit of storage.' Randin thought as the shield disappeared from view.
And in his hand, a spear appeared instead while the tip of the spear lit up blue.
"Look familiar?" Randin asked as three lightning bolts shot out in quick succession towards three goblins in front of him.
Then a sword replaced the spear as the lightning bolt crashed into the goblins stunning them, Randin swiftly blocked a strike from one of the goblins and then he proceeded to kick its hand hard breaking it.
Raising his sword, he blocked a thrust from another goblin and then parrying the spear away, Randin sliced the goblin's head off.
Before he stepped back a bit and then appearing in his hand, were at least a dozen dagger as he swung them with accuracy, it struck a dozen goblins in their heads killing them on the spot.
Leaving him with 17 more goblins to handle. Before he could move forward, all 17 goblins shot out three lightning bolts each towards Randin who was looking at at least 51 lightning bolts heading his way.
'Darn it! My shield can't block that, what do I do?' Randin thought as he equipped the shield anyway and put it in front of him. But then, he heard a familiar voice from behind him.
"Move!"
Heeding to the voice, Randin jumped away and a huge Earth wall rose up where Randin stood earlier blocking the lightning bolts. But it wasn't enough as slowly, the Earth was seen breaking.
But surprisingly, it held out before it finally dissipated and the goblins were seen about to move forward again when the whole room was suddenly shaking with wind moving around the whole room.
Confused, everybody looked around and then they could see a huge gust of wind up in the air turning like a tornado above a red haired individual who had his hands held out.
"Thank you Randin for buying me enough time." Grey smiled.
'If I use this, my mana will be depleted completely and I won't be able to cast spells or skills until my core is replenished. But it is worth it right now.' Grey thought as he glared at the goblins before his eyes rested on the goblin lord.
"Wind magic! Aerius Ultra!" He shouted as he swung his hands out and the huge tornado like wind was seen heading towards the goblins at tremendous speed.
And in less than a second, it crashed into the goblins causing them to go flying across the room and breaking walls apart while some were being smothered by the wind therefore suffocating them.
And finally, the 17 remaining goblins, were all killed by a single mage who stood in the centre of the room heaving and panting in pain as his whole mana core had been depleted.
"Well, that's it. I have no more energy or mana to rely on." He mumbled as he unsheathed his sword from its sheath and took a stance as he could finally see the elite goblin squad making their moves.
"You fools! You just killed mere goblins and I can see the smiles on your face. But I assure you, you will be buried here as you can't defeat even one of my elite squad.
They each have the power of at least 5 goblins put together and they are 12 of them in my squad." The goblin lord laughed in amusement.
"If they are as strong as you say, they will still not be enough to give us much trouble." Randin claimed.
"You silly dwarf! You should have just stayed in whatever hole you were hiding in for all these years. Just because you got the help of a single mage, you feel like you can take me on or the otherworlders." The goblin lord laughed.
"Otherworlders? You know about them?" Grey asked.
Although he knew that the otherworlders practically brought the goblins to this planet, he asked because he wanted to see if he could pull any information from the goblin lord about them.
"Ha! Why won't I know about them? After all, they brought us here and don't even think of trying to pry any information from me about them because I won't unless you can defeat me." The goblin lord laughed.
"Fine then," Grey said as he took a stance with his sword in front of him. "I will just have to beat the information out of you then."
