Chapter 810 Ambush
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Given that Emilia was already unable to completely resist the onslaught of the elite goblins, the addition of the two giant goblins would definitely have put her in a tough spot.
Fortunately, the primary attribute of the monsters in this dungeon was ‘greed’, and not only were they greedy for wealth and beauty, but also their own lives.
If not for the threat of the ‘Goblin King’ being able to kill them with barely a thought, most of them wouldn’t even engage in a head-on fight with their enemies, and instead only strike when their opponents were completely unprepared.
The giant goblins, while far more powerful and conceited when compared to their regular comrades, were no exception.
After realizing that Emilia’s team was far from being an ‘easy picking’, the giant warrior goblin didn’t dare to bet on his life to check if Emilia was just bluffing or not, and his movements inevitably became far more cautious and hesitant.
That was all Emilia needed to ‘hold on’ for a little longer, though the wounds on her body still increased.
Her opponents could naturally see that their strength was being continuously whittled down, and if the present situation continued, it may not be long before their defeat was completely sealed.
With Danielle’s continuously increasing area damage and Crystal’s devastating arrows, it was impossible to expect their opponent to ‘run out of juice’ before they all ended up dead.
However, the giant warrior goblin still thought that there was no point in taking ‘unnecessary risk’ when he could just wait for his companion’s spell before making a decisive strike to capture their target. The death of a few more goblin elites simply didn’t matter all that much in the grand scheme of things.
Both the giant goblins knew just how effective the ‘Weakening Curse’ was on lower-level opponents, and since the inherent trait of their bloodline made the spell twice as effective on their ‘desired targets’, the little elf in front of them would be no different from a fish on the chopping block once hit.
As for dodging the spell… how could they be so confident if such a thing was possible? It might take a long time to cast and only have ‘mild’ effects in terms of direct damage, but the ‘Weakening Curse’ was not a spell that one could avoid, no matter how fast they moved.
Certain special skills might be able to ‘cleanse’ the curse before it expired, of course, but neither of the giant goblins had seen such a thing before. Not to mention, even if the ‘healer’ girl was lucky enough to have such a skill, without the crimson-haired elf’s interference, it would only take them a moment to completely crush her.
Once they were defeated… the giant warrior goblin couldn’t help but grin viciously. ‘They’re a lot more energetic than expected, but now that I think about it, it’s not a bad thing. The elf has to be handed over to the boss, but it’ll be fun to play with the rest of them.’
Compared to the scarce and ‘low quality’ prey that sometimes wandered in from the forests surrounding their den, these ‘invaders’ could really be considered a gift from the heavens as far as they were concerned. Some of them might be a little ‘troublesome’, but what was a good hunt without some struggle? 𝚘𝓋𝐞𝓵xt.𝓒𝑜𝔪
Emilia, however, didn’t seem worried about the ‘dire consequences’ awaiting her at all.
‘Sylvia has already used her skill to conceal herself, and Robin also must be hiding somewhere… I can’t tell where they are. And while the two big guys seem to be cautious, I don’t think they’ve discovered where those two are yet, either.’ She smirked.
Her [Vigilance] skill from the [Wisdom of the Forest] had already been upgraded to level two, since she’d killed more than ten ‘unique’ monsters, and was now on twelve.
Without her chaos energy to serve as a ‘second sight’, it was only thanks to this skill that Emilia was able to perform so well even when besieged by so many enemies. After all, no matter how good her reflexes were, she couldn’t dodge an attack she couldn’t even see or feel.
Once Sylvia activated her concealment, however, it became completely impossible for even Emilia to detect her even with her [Vigilance] skill.
The crimson-haired girl wasn’t sure if Danielle’s plan aligned with her thoughts or not, but she didn’t believe that her team would allow the mage to finish casting his spell.
Just as Emilia expected, the giant magician goblin was interrupted just as the accumulated dark energy had reached the maximum “Let the darkness seep from the shadows, bind my enemy and curse the blood—Ghwack!”
Just as Emilia expected, the giant magician goblin was interrupted just as the accumulated dark energy had reached the maximum concentration in his spiked staff. Unexpectedly, though, it wasn’t Sylvia, but Robin who ambushed him.
Her dagger wasn’t anything special, and despite being an assassin, she didn’t yet have any special skills to critically strike the opponent she wanted to kill. The [Demonic Fury] ring she was wearing was still a blue-grade gear, however, and when its damage amplification was doubled thanks to Robin’s demon bloodline and her base attack was also raised by her two [Brawler’s Rings], the effect was still quite ‘good’.
The disgusting green blood from the giant goblin’s back splashed on her face, but the short-haired tomboy just grinned in delight and stepped back before the spiked staff swung around to almost take off her head.
“AAARGGGHHH! It fucking hurts!” Suffering from both the dagger wound and the magical backlash of his own spell, the giant goblin couldn’t help but charge at Robin in a rage. “You bitch—! I’ll fuck you to death!!!”
Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t as good a melee fighter as he wished, and not only was Robin able to easily avoid his attacks, but she was also able to deal a few more slash wounds in return.
However, with them being so far out of Emilia’s range, the [Challenger’s Charm] was no longer effective, and the [Goblin Elites] around them made it impossible for Robin to overstay her welcome without suffering heavy losses.
A jagged and rusty sword tore through her belly from the back before Robin had a chance to retreat, and despite being mentally prepared, Nico couldn’t help but scream.
“Robin!!!”
