“Don’t you dare underestimate me!!!” The goblin shaman kicked the head back in Alex’s direction. “I don’t need these useless goblins to guard me!!” 

“I don’t know what he’s saying, but those eyes are raring to kill us.” Ezekiel mumbled as he saw a dark red aura leaking out of the goblin shaman as he chanted a magic spell.

“Anyway, we can’t let him finish whatever he’s casting. You go left, and I will go to the right.” Alex suggested to split up as she pushed her feet off the ground. 

“Copy,” Ezekiel agreed as he pushed his feet off the ground. Since they are going to fight a magician, it’s better to split up and confuse the enemy. If the goblin shaman will have a hard time picking who he is going to attack. Then they will be close enough to kill him thanks to the time he hesitates who he is going to attack. 

“Chaos, heed my call…. Bestow me your power as I bestow my life upon you… Blind my eyes with madness… Fill my heart and soul with chaos… Chaos’s Curse!!” The dark red aura intensified and engulfed the goblin shaman.

Alex hastened as she saw the goblin shaman’s dark red aura engulfing him like flames. 

“Five minutes before I’ll get engulfed entirely by chaos… Before that, I will make sure you die, insolent humans!! Fireball!!” The goblin shaman raised his hands as ten fireballs the size of a ball appeared around him. The fireballs then split up and flew when he pointed in Alex and Ezekiel’s direction. 

“Ice shard!!” The moment the fireballs flew, he cast another magic as huge chunks of ice floated around him. 

“Oi, oi, oi, are you kidding me!!” Ezekiel hastened his footsteps to dodge the five fireballs coming his way. He never expected that the goblin shaman was still hiding something dangerous. 

“This goblin has gone crazy,” Alex exclaimed as she dodged the fireballs with ease. A tremendous amount of magic spells are coming her way as she tries running closer to the goblin shaman. Who would have thought that the goblin shaman would go berserk when they aren’t even close enough yet.

“Sh*t this is harder than I thought!! Heal!!” Ezekiel uttered as he got hit by one rock shard on his sides. The closer he got to the goblin shaman, the more strenuous it got to dodge. Just when he was about to continue charging after recuperating his health. An explosion thundered on his ears in the direction of Alex. 

When he checked Alex, he saw a purple smoke leaking out on the ground in front of her. 

“Be careful!! There are poisonous landmines all over the place!!” Alex warned Ezekiel as she saw her health decreasing every second.

Even though she was able to move out of the way before the explosion happened. She still inhaled a whiff of the poison cloud. Because of the wind from the blast caused the smoke to reach her. 

[Goblin’s Intermediate Poison]

– Decreases the affected target’s health by two health points every second. 

– Poison lasts for one day unless cured by an antidote

Alex listened to Lumiere’s explanation about the status effect she received. While twisting her body with no trouble to dodge the magics thrown at her. 

[-2]

[628/640]

When Alex’s eyes hovered at her current health, she stared at it with surprise. When Ezekiel and her started cooperating, She never looked at her health even once as she got hit less and less. And she always trusts Ezekiel’s healing as long as he is serious and not messing around.

Based on the amount of health she currently has. She must have leveled up at least seven times after killing the more than a thousand hobgoblins. And Lumiere must not have notified her since the battle was so intense earlier. 

Thanks to the increase in her current health. Alex can keep on going without drinking the antidote. And she will still be safe for about three more minutes. Unless the goblin shaman has other tricks on his sleeves

“Tsk, what a troublesome attack…” Alex mumbled as she continued her charge regardless of the hidden landmines in the surrounding. Since she already has a poison status, then she doesn’t need to mind the poison clouds from the explosion. All she needs to focus on is dodging the blast from the explosionof the landmines. And the barrage of magics thrown at her. 

“The two of them are crazy!!??” Ezekiel uttered as he saw Alex forcing her way through the landmines. And disregarding the poisonous cloud in her surroundings. In comparison, he kept his guard up as he carefully traversed the ground. At the same time, moving left and right awkwardly to avoid the magic thrown at him. 

“Your tricks don’t work against me.” In just a short amount of time, Alex arrived in front of the goblin shaman’s face. She then pulled her left arm, carrying a spear back. Then pushed it to the goblin shaman’s face as hard as she could. 

Seeing the woman’s casual smile in front of him made the fury inside of him grew stronger and stronger. 

“Magic Shield!!” Alex’s spear was stopped mid-air when a red yet transparent bubble appeared around the goblin shaman. 

“This won’t save you for long!!” Alex uttered as she tried to pull her spear back. “Teleport!!” Before Alex could even retract her spear inside the bubble. The goblin shaman suddenly disappeared and appeared away from her. Then he immediately casts another spell away from her. 

“Chaos Vortex!!” The space around Alex warps open, creating a raging vortex that is impossible to escape as it sucks her in the center. 

Followed after that, the goblin shaman raised his hands in the sky and roared. “Thunderstorm!!!”

“Sh*t!!” Alex looked up as she saw dark clouds gathering above her. Without the ability to dodge or move to a place to cover. All she can do is braced herself for impact.

Thunderbolts rained upon her with madness.
