Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

Profanity and gossip are rampant here and there.

The mercenaries, nervous about the poisonous needles pouring from all sides, shouted sensitively.

“Move quickly! You slug bastard!”

“Oh sh*t! I will kill them all and burn them with fire.”

The mercenaries are advancing, blocking the goblins’ attack, and Rayman and I hide behind them, waiting for an opportunity.

The movements of the goblins were unusual.

Originally, the goblins should have appeared from the entrance and caused a riot, but they gathered and attacked as if they had deliberately waited for us to appear.

Although the intelligence of goblins is high, that is compared to other monsters.

They don’t have the intelligence to coordinate with each other and devise a strategy.

At best, it’s all about setting a flimsy trap or two or stinging a poison dart from a distance.

It’s not just one thing that’s strange.

Originally, the poison needle wouldn’t work, so it’s normal to get scared and run away, but those goblins are fighting bravely.

“Keee!!”

“Kill! Kill!”

I feel like I’m going to lose my mind at the gruesome screams of the goblins.

Were the goblins this scary?

As if dealing with monsters for the first time, Rayman looked a little flustered.

hooked!

Chew!

Ramon thrusts his sword into the goblin’s heart and pushes the corpse away before approaching me.

“Doesn’t it seem like they can’t fight more than I thought?”

“Don’t show off your skills and do it in moderation. Moderately.”

Loud screams are echoing, so the quiet whispering conversation is not heard by others.

I was even more convinced after seeing the close combat lead up to it.

Even if the combat skills of ordinary mercenaries are not outstanding, each of them has their own way.

And I mainly do commissions in that field.

But while the others managed to deal well, Basket was different.

He was awkward dealing with goblins compared to his skills.

also… … .

“Whoa! Are you pretty tight?”

“So, it seems that the arm is not moving after being hit twice with poison needles.”

Shane and Aisha said.

“Are you two all right?”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

“Ahahahahaha, I think I’m going to die now. I wasn’t seriously hurt because I was behind you, but I also got two poison needles on my arm and I can’t move very well.”

Having said that, I tapped Rayman on the side.

If I had said this much, would you have known?

Rayman isn’t that ignorant either.

“aaagh! I was hit by 10 poison needles, and my whole body was gone… … .”

He plays exaggeratedly and glances at me.

An expression as if to say ‘Did I do well?’

I barely endured the fact that I was about to be hit in the back of the head for a moment.

I have to do it in moderation. What is 10 rooms? 10 rooms!

If you have 10 poison needles, you should already be lying sick over there.

I glanced at the mercenaries.

While the others seem to be getting over it, Basket’s expression is strange.

It sounds like this.

“Because this guy is so stupid. But I like toughness-.”

“You move so well for someone who has been hit 10 times?”

Basket’s voice is cold.

Noticing the oddity, his gaze turns to others.

‘Oh man, I can’t help it… … .’

Koo Goo Goo Goo Palace-

“What, what?”

“Can you hear a strange noise from inside?”

The cave started shaking.

It sounded like something heavy hitting the ground.

“I am watching you.”

Basket comes out and glares at Rayman, then turns and goes inside.

Who is watching whom?

“Let’s go too.”

“yep.”

When I follow them inside, I see a goblin as large as almost 3m tall carrying a thick club and wreaking havoc.

Rusty skin with an elongated nose.

What he looks like is the perfect goblin.

“crazy… … , Goblin Warrior.”

“what?”

“Why the hell is he here… … ?”

Basket’s embarrassment was evident in his voice.

From nob le mtl dot com

Goblin Warrior.

They are usually only found in goblin villages.

Even without the goblin shaman, they couldn’t exist in the first place, so how did they exist here?

What was embarrassing was not only the mercenaries, but also me.

hard-

Basket is biting her lip and is lost in thought.

‘Am I thinking about whether I should grab that?’

From nob le mtl dot com

Goblin Warriors are hard to catch.

In the first place, it only existed in the goblin village, so if you wanted to catch it, you had to deal with at least hundreds of goblins and goblin shaman.

Being alone like this is the same situation as asking me to hold you.

It was understandable that Basket was worried.

“Stand back.”

I tried to slip backwards with Rayman.

“Where are you going? We’ve come this far, should we fight together?”

Mercenaries block our path.

His eyes are blinded by the spoils of the Goblin Warriors in front of him, and he is making the wrong decision.

‘If the aggro of the Goblin Warriors is attracted while confronting us, everyone will die.’

The Goblin Warrior is going crazy right now, bumping into walls here and there all alone inside, causing a riot.

“I feel like I should… … .”

“yes?”

At my murmur, Rayman looks at me with a puzzled look.

Originally, I was just trying to run away. Because it’s really dangerous to catch a goblin warrior like these guys.

however… … .

[Sub Quest – Goblin Shaman’s Desire]

[Please kill and liberate the goblin warrior who has lost his sanity due to demonic contamination.]

[Reward – Energy +0.2, Spirit Power +0.3]

I couldn’t see the surroundings properly because my eyes were drawn to the Goblin Warrior, but when I looked closely, there was a tomb in the back.

Tree branches are stuck in the shape of a cross on the roughly piled soil.

And a translucent specter was floating above it.

As you can see, that guy is a goblin shaman.

‘No, why are you asking me for something like this?’

Of course, it’s not that I hate it.

It gives you the most difficult to raise energy and the most necessary spiritual energy.

How can you deny this?

* * *

Basket bit his teeth and glared at the Goblin Warrior.

Will he be able to win? At the same time, I was engulfed in agony thinking about the reward I could get by killing him.

Originally, I was going to kill the two people who came in with me and steal their belongings and sell the corpse, but since this happened, it was more efficient to use it as a meat shield.

Basket ordered with the intention of eventually capturing the Goblin Warrior.

“Everyone get ready. Wipe out the Goblin Warriors.”

From nob le mtl dot com

Goblin Warriors are easy to catch if you are skilled in swordsmanship, but if not, you will have to spend a lot of time.

It is very difficult to kill because it is so strong.

After attracting the Goblin Warrior’s attention with Ren and Rayman, Basket intended to aim for the vitals at once.

“If you aim for the vitals, you can catch them.”

“I heard that the back of his neck is weak.”

“How are you going to attack the back of the neck?”

Ren asked.

“Two well-behaved people pay attention to him.”

“We don’t want to throw ourselves into a risky gamble.”

Ren interrupted Basket’s words.

“It’s not a gamble. Now, when the Goblin Warriors can’t come to their senses, we can aim for the vitals.”

“Tsk, do you think you can beat that?”

The expression of the mercenaries hardened at Ren’s cool tone.

As Basket’s eyes turned to his comrades, they moved the point of their swords to Ren and Rayman.

“Do you want to just die here, or do you want to go and fight?”

Ren was still expressionless and Rayman was full of indignation.

“Who are these bastards now-.”

“Tsk.”

Ren clicked his tongue and took a step closer to him.

Basket felt strange at that moment.

It was because it was a completely different reaction than others who are usually in this situation.

“I was going to end it quietly because it was Francis’ request, but I can’t.”

As soon as those words were finished, Basket and Ren’s swords moved at the same time.

visor!

Basket’s sword, which was drawn a little faster, collided with Ren’s sword, and his posture collapsed.

Spaw!

“Khehehehe… … .”

Then, Basket’s arm floated through the air and fell to the ground.

Basket’s eyes trembled, unable to comprehend this situation.

“Kyaaak!”

“what are you doing!”

Shane and Lynn screamed in amazement.

dump.

As Basket knelt on the spot with a dazed face, Ren’s sword slashed his throat once more.

Awesome! Took.

Basket’s head, which had rolled around in a splatter of blood, stopped in front of Aisha.

“Quaaa!”

The strongest of the mercenaries is Basket.

However, he was killed by Ren without using any powers.

A look of fear began to creep across their faces.

“Sah, live… … .”

At that time, the Goblin Warrior, who was out of his mind and ran amok, suddenly looked at them.

“Geuuu!!”

“Uh, uh… … .”

“Come this way!”

“Sniper!”

“damage!”

The Goblin Warrior, who approached in an instant, swung his club in the air and struck Geron.

Quick-!

“Keheo-eok… … !”

From nob le mtl dot com

Geron’s body, which tried to block the attack with his shield, was crushed to the ground with the shield intact.

“Lord, he’s dead.”

From nob le mtl dot com

Geron did not move with his neck bent.

it died instantly

“Go away!”

Terrified, Aisha picked up a stone that was rolling on the floor and threw it at the Goblin Warrior.

His gaze turned to her.

“Such an idiot!”

Rayman clicked his tongue at the sight and stopped Ren from running at him.

“It’s self-employed.”

“What are you doing? I have to help!”

“that’s right! Are you just going to watch it like this? If we die, it’s over for you too!”

Shane and Lynn, who were watching from behind, shouted.

He had an intuition that he could never get out of this situation unless he stepped forward.

“why me?”

But the answer that comes back is cold.

Whoo-bang!

When I turned my head at the loud roar, Aisha, who had been hit by a club, was blown into the wall.

From the wriggling of his body, it seemed that he was still alive, but in the end it was clear that he would either remain crippled for the rest of his life or die like that.

Seeing them, Shane and Lynn’s fear rose sharply.

“Please save me!”

“Well, what should we do?”

A cold smile crept across Ren’s lips.

“The reason you guys were after us.”

At that, the two paused, looked at each other, and opened their mouths.

“To take your equipment or things… … .”

“also.”

“Poetry, by selling the corpse-”

Before Shane could finish his words, the Warrior turned around to find its prey again.

“Hee!”

“No, I said so quickly!”

The two hurriedly run back, but there is nowhere to run.

It was because there was a warrior standing at the entrance.

“evidence.”

“yes? What proof!”

The Goblin Warrior came running and brandished a club.

thud!

After barely avoiding it, Rin rolls on the ground and looks at Ren.

There is no answer. It looks like he won’t come forward until he brings the evidence.

‘pup!’

Lynn looked around and saw where Shane was.

The Warrior’s club was reaching towards him.

“If you rummage through Basket’s clothes, you’ll find a small plaque! That’s the password of the guys we do business with!”

Lin said everything he knew.

Basket was managing the request, so I didn’t know any other details.

‘I wasn’t listening to that bastard!’

In fact, Basket had only recently joined the team. Basket joined the mercenary team from the last request, and the sum was good, so this request was also done together.

He had good skills and a good personality, so he followed suit, but when he heard the news of the joining of Ren and Rayman, he suggested plundering them.

At first, he refused, but most of them agreed that the reward was greater than expected just by handing over the corpse, and Rin had no choice but to follow them.

Ren heard Rin’s words and approached Basket’s corpse to find the plaque she said.

“This… … .”

“Right? So please save me!”

Despite her urgent cry, Ren did not budge.

The same goes for Rayman, who was watching him. Busy avoiding the Warrior’s attack.

“Tsk.”

Ren stood up.

Are you finally leaving?

Shane had already been beaten by the Warrior and passed away.

When Rin was looking at the warrior with trembling eyes, afraid that the warrior would approach him.

Something blunt hit her head, knocking her out of her mind.

* * *

“In case you don’t know, I’ll leave one behind.”

I hit Rin on the back of the head with the handle of my sword and knocked her out.

“Let’s do something quickly!”

Warrior’s target had changed to Rayman.

Rayman was rolling around, barely avoiding the Warrior’s attack.

‘Can I beat that guy?’

Even at a glance, he’s a terrifying guy.

The toughness of her skin makes it seem like she bumped into that sharp wall several times, but it doesn’t show any signs of injury.

How strong is that again… … .

– That guy’s weakness is his ankles.

The goblin shaman looked at my worried face and said:

“Ankle?”

– Yes, if you cut your heel, you won’t be able to move properly, so hit your head then. The skin on the neck and ankles is not very tough.

The one who makes the Goblin Warrior is the Goblin Shaman.

It is made through some kind of sacred ritual or something.

Anyway, what he said is probably true.

I went behind the guy who was fighting fiercely with Rayman and abruptly cut his ankle.

“Gooo!”

It worked.

The guy couldn’t stand it and fell down and fell forward.

I stepped on his back and stabbed him in the back of his neck.

“Ahhh… … .”

The guy let out a scream and died instantly.

‘Isn’t it easier than I thought?’

Since he was insane, it seemed that he gave up the vitals easily.

Chow-!

When the sword is drawn out, his blood splatters into the air.

Rayman, who had been covered by the guy’s body, hurriedly covered his face from the fountain of blood that suddenly rose.

“damn! Please take me out! Why is this guy so heavy!”

[“Quest – Goblin Shaman’s Desire” has been resolved.]

– thanks. That guy will finally be freed from the pain.
