Chapter 37
"Good! Usually, I would have killed a weak thrash like you. But that kid over there, got questions for you and I also want to hear the answers so I won't kill you." Noir said and then the goblin lord heaved a sigh of relief.
"But he didn't say he needed you intact right?" Noir asked as it smirked evilly and it's horn was starting to glow bright red.
And then in a flash, a laser beam hit the goblin lord in its legs and hands totally slicing it up and not letting it to move one bit as it had no limbs to.
"Perfect." Noir said as it leaped towards Randin who was leaning tiredly with blood pouring out of his mouth, nose and head.
Even his hands were cut and his stomach had punctured wounds on it. Getting there, Noir looked him up and down then it opened up a mind link to Randin.
"Keep an eye on that goblin and also try to protect that kid over there. If anything happens to him, you are dead." Noir said and without waiting for any response, it turned into a black mist and entered into Grey who was still lying unconscious.
'It feels like that beast was much scarier than those goblins.' Randin thought as he shuddered in fear to what the wolf did.
Looking around, Randin dragged his feet to where Grey lay unconscious then he picked him up and laid him on his shoulder before dragging his feet to where the goblin lord was screaming in pain.
After getting there, Randin gently laid Grey aside and walked towards where the goblin lord was screaming.
"You… you made I and my kind's lives miserable." Randin said weakly as he pointed towards the goblin lord with fire burning in his eyes.
"Kill me! Kill me now if you dare!" The goblin lord said with a smirk on its lips.
Raising his cracked sword, Randin pointed it towards the goblin lord's neck with an angry expression on his face. He put more pressure on the sword making it cut the goblin lord slightly while it's smile got wider.
"No! I'm not a fool, I know what you are trying to do and it won't work. I won't kill you so easily, firstly we will get the information we need then you die." Randin smiled as his sword disappeared from his hand.
The goblin lord clicked his tongue and continued applying pressure on his cut up limbs in pain and then after at least thirty minutes of waiting around, a loud cough and small movements were heard coming from Randin's side.
Quickly turning around, his eyes landed on Grey who was slowly twitching in pain and then, he slowly raised his upper body while his eyes were slowly opening up.
"Wh.. where am I? And wh… why does my body hurt as hell?!" Grey shouted in pain as he held his head.
"Grey?" Randin said as he stepped forward and placed his hand on Grey's shoulder gently.
In one smooth motion, Grey quickly grabbed Randin's hand and tripped him over then a small flame appeared in his palm and he pointed it directly at Randin's face.
"What the hell are you doing you silly human?" Randin shouted as he could see flames directly placed in front of his face.
"Ra… Randin?" Grey said as his blurry eyes were now starting to become clear.
"Yes it's me you silly human!" Randin shouted and Grey quickly stood up from him and dispersed his fire magic.
"I'm sorry, I thought it was one of the goblins that tried to kill me when I was unconscious." Grey apologized as he scratched his head nervously.
"It's okay." Randin said as he dusted himself and wiped the small sweat that formed on his face.
"The goblins!" Grey shouted as he looked around on guard with his wind magic surrounding his body and then his eyes laid on the massacre around him.
The cave was broken to the extent it looked like it was on the verge of breaking apart and his eyes moved towards the goblins that had all been killed.
'The elite squad? They are dead? How come?' Grey thought as his eyes landed on Randin's wounded body.
"Did you kill them yourself?" He asked.
"Heck no! Do I look like someone who could kill them on my own? If I was struggling to kill six, how do you expect me to kill twelve without any help?" Randin asked.
"Then how?" Grey asked confused as he looked around because he could remember that he wasn't able to defeat them all.
"It was your pet that did this." Randin said and then a voice sounded in Grey's head.
"If that dwarf calls me a pet one more time, I will make I sure I shoot a laser beam through his head." Noir said.
'So you did this right?" Grey asked but he didn't get any response from Noir.
'There he goes with the silent treatment. Wait, is it even a he or a she?' Grey wondered. 'I guess I will not know for now then.'
"So what do you want to do with this?" Randin asked pointing towards the sitting goblin lord.
"Ask it the questions I want to know and it better answer or else I won't think twice before killing it on the spot." Grey replied as he casually walked forward towards the goblin lord.
Then he bent down in order to be on the same level as the goblin lord who was staring at Grey with fear in its eyes.
'This mage, was the one who managed to best some of my elite goblin squad, then he also has that demonic beast with him that he could summon at anytime.
If I don't answer his questions, he might kill me. No! He is surely going to kill me if I don't answer. Or he might summon that demonic beast again.' The goblin lord thought.
The goblin lord didn't know how far away it was from the truth of the matter as Grey couldn't summon Noir any how he wanted, it will always come out when it wanted to.
"Now for my first question, who are the otherworlders?" Grey asked.
