Is this really a Game?! Novel

Chapter 39 Goblin Chieftain


Stepping on the roof everyone saw a gruesome sight, numerous corpses were piled alongside the edges, forming small hills, blood could be seen everywhere and bits of flesh were floating in blood puddles. Beast put a hand on his mouth to stop himself from vomiting, the others did not fare much better, they all felt sick to their stomachs upon witnessing such a scene. In the middle of the rooftop was a huge magic circle that was drawing mana from the surrounding crystals, the blood and corpses were being pulled by it, scattering into pieces whenever they touched it.

A huge figure could be seen in the middle of the circle, the group could only see his huge muscular back. Hearing them the figure slowly turns around to face them.

“So you are the worms that destroyed my beloved minions.” He spoke with a deep voice filled with hatred. Standing 2.4 meters tall the chieftain put an incredible amount of pressure on them, muscles were bulging everywhere on his body, his arms alone were thicker than those of an average persons legs. His shaved head was filled with scars, as was his face, his whole body actually was like that, a testament of what he had to survive to become what he is today.

“My goblins, hobgoblins, my captains and even Torkyal, you little maggots actually dared to kill all of them and disturb me!!” His voice was low at the beginning of the sentence, in the end however it turned into a shout that made their ears ring.

Picking up a huge hammer with a spike on one end he slowly walks towards them, the magic circle slowly dissipating around him.

“The magic circle has been turned off my lord, we can begin again at a moments notice, the corpses of these men will be highly beneficial to it.” A goblin comes out from behind one of the corpse hills and bows to the goblin chieftain.

“Not only a level 10 boss but a level 9 enemy too, shit, this is going to be harder than we thought guys.” Reign curses while looking at the two goblins in front of them, the chieftain was huge and incredibly imposing, while the shaman was just a tad taller than a normal goblin and was a bit hunched. Holding a wooden staff in his hands he looked like an old man that couldn’t harm anyone, but just by looking at his name and the incredible amount of the spirit stat he had Reign knew they were dealing with a magic user, physical ability was worthless for them.

“We should probably deal with that guy first, types like him probably don’t have a lot of defence and hp, his close combat ability should be quite low as well.” Shadow says while looking at the shaman, him and the others knew that the faster they manage to kill the shaman the better it is for them.

“That’s easier said than done, the big guy definitely will give it his all to stop us from doing that.” Wolf says immediately after Shadow, the basic tactic of dealing with long range attackers first is something everybody knows, even the weakest of foes like the normal goblins.

“I know, but if me and Beast try at the same time I think we could make it, listen this is what I thought of doing.” Shadow quickly tells them his plan of dealing with the shaman, making the others widen their eyes in wonder.

“That should work.” Wolf nods his head in agreement as they get ready to face the approaching chieftain.

“I don’t want you interfering at the beginning, only do so if needed.” He tells the shaman standing behind him before continuing towards them again.

“Yes my lord.” The shaman gives another bow before moving to the side to observe the fight.

“Turning down help, this guy really is underestimating us.” Tank has a displeased look on his face as he looks at the chieftain, cracking his neck he tells the others. “I’ll use my rush on him first, you guys attack him like we did to that captain before, alright?”

“Yeah, we can go with that.” Reign nods in agreement as he walks towards the right side, Wolf takes the left and Tank charges forth in the middle.

“Remember the plan Beast, we need to do this correctly for it to work.” Shadow tells Beast while he was charging an arrow.

“Don’t worry, I got it.” Beast says with a serious expression.

Greenie slowly moves towards the chieftain with the wolves on his sides, watching the chieftain he gulps in nervousness as he knew the strength and terror the being in front of him possessed.

“So one rebelled huh.” The chieftain Groll takes a look at Greenie before focusing on the enemies approaching him, even though it angered him to see one of his own attacking him he dismissed him, as his strength wasn’t enough to be a threat.

Bull Charge!

Tank charges forth with the bull around him, with the berserk set equipped he was stronger than before, and the illusion of the bull looked a bit more real.

“Not bad, but that won’t be nearly enough!” Groll shouts as he swings his huge hammer with both hands. “Kings glory.”

Groll calmly says while a black figure materializes behind him, mimicking his posture of swinging the hammer.

Bam!

The hammer and shield connect, while Grolls huge hammer gets pushed back together with his hands Tank is actually the one in a disadvantage as he slides back almost 2 meters, his shield bent a little in the middle and his hands shaking from the impact.

Lightning stab

Flame slash

Wolf and Reign attack immediately after the moment of impact, trying to injured the boss before he can do anything, but Grolls simply swings his hammer at Reign while the phantom behind him swings it at Wolf. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

Clang

Fire and lightning explode from the sides as both of their attacks get blocked, the power behind Grolls swing was enormous, and the phantom behind him seems to have the same amount as well.

Swish

Shadow suddenly throws his two daggers at Groll while a second later Beast releases a fully charged arrow towards the shaman.

“Impudent!” Groll shouts as he coats his hand in black mana to block the daggers, extending his other hand with the hammer he moves the phantom to hit the arrow in the nick of time, making it change its course and miss the shaman.

Tank charges forward again, using his new skill to boost his power.

Blood Frenzy!

Tanks body suddenly starts emitting a blood red aura, his muscles bulging visibly as he charges forth, at the same time he uses his ability to the max, hardening his body.

Muscle Pump

Lightning Movement

Wolf and Reign both use their skills as they charge towards the boss again. Tank jumps up as he brings his axe down on the boss

Bam!

The boss manages to block the strike, although with some difficulty as his arm shakes visible from the contest of power, Tank uses his shield to try and pommel his face but it gets blocked by Grolls palm, the two figures struggle before Tanks momentum from the jump dissipates, using his strength he manages to push himself backwards as Wolf and Reign arrive to fight the boss for a second round.

Wolf used his now heavy sword to fight the phantom while Reign with his superior speed fights against the boss. Even though he was much slower Groll still manages to block every attack and keep him at bay with little difficulty. Greenie arrives with the wolves and attack Groll who simply kicks, both of the wolves get hit and fly back with a whimper.

“Trying to use some mutts to fight me, don’t make me laugh you maggots.” Putting his foot down he immediately brings his hammer down at Reign who approached and tried to stab him. Reign immediately jumps to the side to dodge the hammer that leaves a crack on the ground where he previously stood.

Greenie sees a chance and draws back his fist before punching one of the chieftains arms with full force.

Shattering Punch

The skin of the chieftains arm rips open as the punch lands and leaves a wound on the spot, blood spurts from the wound and coats Greenies arm and face. Greenie smiles as he managed to wound Groll, but before he could celebrate Groll swings his now wounded arm sideways to hit him. Widening his eyes Greenie immediately puts his sword up to block the hit.

Bam!

As the arm connects he gets thrown back, coughing blood from his mouth and kneeling down on one leg.

“Hmph! Little traitorous worm.” Groll glances at Greenie for a moment before focusing back on Reign, who had suddenly disappeared. “What?”

Groll says in confusion as he feels a touch on the side of his body.

“Compact”

Feeling pain from his side Groll widens his eyes and tries to move back

“Punch”

Reign says in a low voice while hitting the chieftain. A loud sound was accompanied with some knockback to Reigns hand, blood and flesh spew from the left side of Groll who puts a hand there and growl in pain.

“You little bastard!” Followed by the sound of wind breaking the huge hammer was swung with one hand, catching Reign off guard and making him retread with haste.

“I see, no wonder you managed to defeat Torkyal, you worms do have some strength.” Groll says as he looks at them. “But if this is all then it’s time to end this.”

As soon as Groll finished his words everyone suddenly felt a suffocating feeling come from him. Holding the hammer with both hands he brings it to his chest and slams it to the ground.

“Kings fury.”

The hammer hits the ground and an incredible amount of mana gets released, a huge amount of darkness spews from the point of impact, crack form everywhere on the roof as columns of dark mana shoot up.

Reign and the others hurriedly move around, dodging the columns that kept following them. Wolf slashes one but finds no success as the two halves immediately reconnect and hit him in the chest.

Tank uses his shields to block the columns that have now turned to tentacle like forms of mana that continuously attack them.

“What the hell is this?!” He shouts while moving back, trying to put distance between himself and them.

“Whatever it is it’s bad news, how can we block it?!” Shadow shouts while nimbly dodging the attacks thrown at him, moving backwards he fails to see one behind him and gets hit, making him stop in pain. The other vines immediately attack him after, wounding him everywhere.

Swish

Beast jumps up as he dodges an attack, bringing his bow up he releases another charged arrow towards Grolls head.

Groll lifts his hammer up and deflects it, suddenly all the vines scatter into the air and disappear.

“As expected, you can’t move while using this skill.” Beast calmly says as he looks the chieftain in the eyes.

“Hmph, shaman, you may join now.” Groll suddenly tells the shaman as he lifts his hammer up.

“Understood my lord.” The shaman gives a bow and approaches to him, his staff glowing with a green light.
