Chapter 135: Hello, Mister Goblin! Die!! Part 2
Dont you think [Analysis] was too overpowered? Thanks to it, I could know everything about this goblins nest, be it the structure to the number of goblins inside. This was a bit too much. Anyhow, I should use it again in the future since it makes my work easier.
Yeah, Im having a little headache over something unrelated, but I knew everything I wanted to know. Lets return to the girls.
How was it? It smells bad. Is that so? Then what should we do? I have an idea, so lets give that a try. If that works well, we can avoid fighting there.
Actually, I had thought about this from this morning.
Sure, butwhat should we do if someone is kidnapped? Oh, no need to worry about that. There are only goblins inside. I also know the structures of the nest. Huh? Umm, I have a skill that lets me do that. Its pretty convenient. Ahh, you already have that skill before, but you just came up with a way to apply it now. And when you tried it, it worked? Yeah!
Arisa is sharp!
That happens sometimes, right? I dont really get it, but I see. Lets try Rens strategy. Can you explain it to us?
Dont look like youre having a headache! This is just an idea, okay!
I think its faster if we go have a look. How about that? Wont it be dangerous? Ill be in armor this time, so its fine. I understand. Then lets go.
I got on the magic armor and started to move. A huge figure approached the nest Lily was following behind the shield, and Arisa was clinging to the right arm. The halberd would be a hindrance, so I kept it in the [Storage].
When we reached the nest, I erected a wall with earth magic, covering around of the entrance. This was to prevent them from escaping. Then I poured magic water into the nest. However, my plan wasnt to suffocate them. I had a lot of MP, but filling the nest with water would waste a considerable amount of it.
I could hear the cry of goblins from the nest. Apparently, they were surprised, starting to panic about the water that suddenly flowed in.
Now then, after pouring water up to my knees and the goblins waist, the next step was to freeze the water using ice magic. This would reduce my MP consumption if compared to making ice from nothing.
A large amount of water froze, making a popping noise.
Ghee!? Gwagh!!
Ohh, the cry turned into a scream. Fuhahaha! You should die!
I had been using ice magic for thirty minutes. All the water in the nest should have frozen, but I hadnt stopped using ice magic yet. I continued for a while until all the goblins inside froze to death. Im not using it at full power, but slowly and surely.
In the meantime, the response of the goblins when using [Sign Detection] had decreased. An hour had passed since I started using ice magic.
The cry has stopped. It should be fine to stop now, right? Ren, isnt this a bit too much? Rather, this method kind of disgusts me1
Eh!? But this is easier than rushing into the nest, right!?
In any case, I decided to crush the clay wall that was blocking the entrance and started rushing into the nest.
Ahh, I did a little mistake here. Since the ground was covered with thick ice, I could barely enter with the magic armor now that the height to the ceiling got narrowed. But I didnt care and forcefully entered.
While holding the girls with the magic armors arms, I went into the nest Oh, the weight of the armor cracked the ice under my feet. It wasnt that bad from what I expected.
On the way into the cave, I moved the goblin corpses we found in [Storage]. The lower half of their body got buried in ice, but I could store them without having to dig them up. Easy, easy!
All of them look desperate before their death I dont want to die like this.
Arisa murmured, pointing at the goblins that got stuck in a strange pose. She looked disgusted. I agree, whats with this meaningless pose? I also dont want to die like this.
Everything is too one-sided Its easier for us, but it makes me a little uncomfortable. Right? Same Ah, this is the 25th one, isnt it? Yes. Ah, theres a hall ahead. We should find the leading hobgoblin and its five followers. Ren has been right up until now so I dont doubt her, but it makes me wonder how far Rens convenience will go. I have stopped thinking about it since a long while ago. Ill also do that~
Their evaluation of me was going down! Hey! I made it easier for us, so isnt it fine2!?
Eh? The hobgoblin is still alive. Ah
I guess hobgoblin had a strong vitality thanks to its species. And it was a lot bigger than a normal goblin. But the size was around the same as me, so I could easily beat it since its knees were buried in ice. It looked weakened, quivering and groaning with no voice.
Its time to deal the final blow then! Arisa was fast! She slashed its neck with a single blow!
Done!
She looked super motivated. Maybe its because she didnt have the opportunity to show her ability today? Well, its fine.
Hmm, its followers were all dead. Then lets store everything and withdraw!
By the way, will we get a reward for cleaning up the nest? Yes. However, it will take some time since the guild will need to confirm the nest after our report. We dont have to go to pick them up since they will transfer it to our guild card.
I see. The guild sure has it rough.
But How will they react when they see this frozen cave
I didnt think of that. Oops, teehee
Anyways, the girls told me that I shouldnt use this method often when cleaning up monsters nests since the corpse recovery and guild confirmation would take twice as long thanks to the extreme coldness. I didnt notice since the inside of my magic armor was fully equipped with an air conditioner.
Well, lets think of another way next time.
