The player she was assigned to really is fascinating to watch. Alex is showing her things that she wasn’t able to predict. The way she moved may look like assimilation. But Lumiere is certain that it is only close to how real assimilation works.
Lumiere needed to observe her more to know what she’s currently manifesting. And how she is doing it.
Hence Alex’s massacre continued.
“What are you all doing?? Kill that insolent woman right now!!” The goblin shaman glared at Alex with bloodshot eyes. He pointed his staff at her as he saw the goblins trembling and avoiding her at all cost.
“Stop cowering and kill the woman!!” The weak goblins did not listen to any of his orders as fear took over their whole body. Alex’s overwhelming aura alone can make her enemies, as well as allies, tremble in fear right now.
Having left without any choices. Akkar uses forbidden magic that will reap the lives of the goblins he used it to. And since these weak goblins are dying without fighting anyway. He might as well squeeze their strength to the last drop.
“Chaos, heed my call… Bound my servants in the cage of madness… Blind my servant’s eyes with your chaos… Mist of Madness.”
A red-purple mist gathered in the goblin shaman’s hands. And with a gentle breeze, the purple mist scattered all over the battlefield. The weak goblins did not even notice the faint purple mist they breathed in. In just a matter of seconds, the goblin’s dark green eyes have turned red and bloodshot. The goblin growled at Alex and the countless enemy in the village.
The goblins stormed towards them at a crazy rate. It was like a dam broke as the goblins pushed towards their frontline. The goblins are blinded by chaos as they even push their companions forward. And stepping on the weak ones that stumbled on the ground. They all rushed like a tidal wave towards their shield wall.
“Commander, this is bad!!”
“What is happening with the goblins!?”
“Holy sh*t, the goblins are getting crazy!!”
“Is this even a tutorial…”
Their frontline is being pushed back one step at a time. The goblins smashed their bodies on their shields without any fear of death.
Akkar took a deep breath as he gathered air in his lungs. The air condensed deep inside his steel-like body. He then blew the air out as his voice thundered across the battlefield. “Everyone, hold your ground!!!!”
“There is no way they can stay in this state for a long time!!”
“As long as we can survive a few minutes, we can win this battle!!” Akkar tried to calm everyone down as he also didn’t know why the goblins were suddenly fuming with anger.
“Elder Jin do you have any idea why are the goblins acting this way??” Elder Jin is a native of this world. So Akkar thought that he should know or have some clue about their current situation.
“It is because of Alexandria…” He did not expect that she could make the goblin shaman use a forbidden magic of the goblins in fear of just one person. He thought that the goblin shaman would only use it as his last resort. If ever the goblins are on the verge of losing.
“Alexandria?? Just what the hell did she do deep inside the enemy. To make all the goblins lose their minds.”
“The goblin’s commander felt threatened with Alexandria. To the point that he used a forbidden magic that increases the strength of all the normal goblins in the vicinity for an hour. But in exchange, all the affected goblins will die after the effect ends.”
“Then that means almost all the goblins will die after an hour…” Yet can they even survive longer than an hour? Akkar stared at the cracks on their shield wall that opened up. As the goblins were now entering their interior like an angry wave.
“Will we even last an hour…” Elder Jin loses hope…
Yet he drew back his bowstring once again. It is his job as the village chief to protect his village. Elder Jin continuously pulled the bowstring and launched projectiles. As soon as an arrow flew and pierced an enemy head. He would fire a new arrow providing his village the possibility of lasting a little longer. “We can kill the enemy’s commander to end the forbidden magic, but we can’t even move forward…”
“Alexandria and Ezekiel are still alive in the distance, right??” Akkar asked as he saw a small hope of surviving this one.
“I can no longer see them, but a large number of goblins are squeezing in one place…” Elder Jin can’t see how they can survive being surrounded on all sides.
“They’ll survive… They need to…” Since Alex started all of this, it is her responsibility to save everyone now.
Akkar grabbed his great ax and carried it on his soldiers. “I’m going down… I’ll leave our long-range attackers to you.” Someone needed to spearhead the melee fighters to support their frontline. Thus their shield wall won’t be breached by the goblins. And their long-range attackers will be safe in the backline.
He also needs to restore everyone’s morale.
Akkar went down from the watchtower. With his great ax shining under the hot sun while carrying it on his soldiers.
He encountered five goblins that entered their line of defense, despite being in a berserk state. The goblin felt a horrified chill at the sight of human handling such a heavy object. At that moment, the great ax cleaved the space horizontally. The five goblins were split in half, and their bodies flew into the air. Light particles scattered all over the air by a single slash of his.
Everyone who has seen it has their mouth dropped open.
Akkar stepped through the horror everyone feared. And approached the goblins attacking their shield wall.
“Oooorahhhh!!” Akkar ran and leaped out of the shield wall as he lifted his great ax in the air.
A goblin’s body was obliterated once he landed on the ground. Every swing of his great ax slain goblins left and right. The goblins did not care about what was in front of them as they attacked anything without any thought.
Akkar’s lips gradually changed into a smile. In the end, the battlefield is still his home compared to staying in the backlines.
