At an underground city, there were multiple giant centipedes that were wreaking havoc within it. Several houses carved out of stone were already destroyed during their rampage. The citizens, the goblins, were powerless to do anything against the giant monsters.“Gyaah!!”“Hold your groun- Agh!”“[Fireball]!”“[Black Bullet]!”“It’s not working!”Many brave warriors have gone to fight the centipedes but they all died in vain as the centipedes kept advancing without mercy. The higher tier race of their species, the hobgoblins, were also defeated with ease. Those that were capable of using magic could not even scratch them.A young goblin girl was running for her life along with her mother. A centipede was quickly closing in on them despite many trying to stand in its way. While running, the girl was looking back at the massacre behind with teary eyes. Those were relatives and people she knew. Her heart broke and her spirit dwindled but her legs kept running being pulled by her mother.N
Potolo had just returned from gathering food and putting them on the ground somewhere in the safe zone. Bartolo was also there checking the rations that they gathered.“These should be enough for a few weeks, I think. What about you brother?” Bartolo asked Potolo.“We won’t need a few weeks. Several days is sufficient, one week at most.” Potolo said while looking at Matthew and Gon who were chatting.Bartolo noticed the discomfort in his brother. “Who do you think that guy is?”“Not someone I like. I don’t like a mere goblin talking to him like friends. But Master seem to be enjoying himself, so I will not interfere.” Potolo was really holding back from attacking the goblin. He was in a calm anger state right now.“Don’t be jealous brother. If anything, Master will still rely on us.” Bartolo stood up and patted Potolo’s shoulder.Potolo glanced at his brother and sighed. “Hah~ I know. It just still doesn’t sit right with me. Besides, the other goblins aren’t exactly welcoming.”“Yeah,
Matthew, Rain, and Gon, as the guide, were walking through a tunnel that was dimly lit by glowing stones in the walls of said tunnel. They had left the city where they created a safezone for the goblins to stay temporarily with the chimaera siblings’ protection. Matthew, Rain, and Gon were currently headed for an ancient tomb that belonged to Dragon Emperor Arshild.On their way there, they encountered various monsters that dwell in the tunnel. However, there were no insects in their way. Most of them are simple sentient rocks or low class monsters, all of which were easily dealt with by Matthew and Rain’s not at all coordinated attacks.“You’re getting in the way, kid!” Rain angrily said to Matthew.“I was covering your back!”“I don't need you to cover my back!”“I know that but I still want to!”“Screw off!”“Nope!”“Hah~ what the hell is wrong with them?” Gon sighed as he walked at a steady pace behind the two who kept rushing forward to defeat the monsters and coming back afterwa
After their short dispute, Matthew, Rain, Gon, and the tomb’s guardian, Theraphosa, were heading inside the very tomb. They were not in the tomb yet, they were walking through a hall that was partially destroyed. Theraphosa was in the lead.“My lord always loved creating unique equipment and devices. Most of them work, and some of them were defective products. The Celestial Gears were the last equipment that my lord made. At the cost of his life.” Theraphosa told them of the history of the Gears from her personal experience.“My lord sacrificed his own life for the sake of billions more. With the creation of the Celestial Gears, a band of heroes were supposed to defeat the Scarlett King. Twelve pieces of equipment, for one life. He really sacrificed himself for the greater good. His own life.” Theraphosa kept repeating the same context. It was getting annoying Rain but he said nothing.“The Gears were not meant for ordinary people to use. Some died during the testing phase but those w
“So, care to explain?” Theraphosa, the human-spider hybrid, asked while putting her face only an inch from Matthew’s face.Matthew was scared and took a step back from her. Theraphosa only got closer to him.“Blair, Draco Blair, the Dragon Emperor of destruction. His name, Blair, was in your name. On top of that, you are a draconic humanoid. Who are you really?” Theraphosa interrogated him.(Why was she angry?) Matthew thought in his mind.Matthew threw away the question in his head and answered her question. “Well, to tell you the truth, I really did not know I’m a dragon human. I just know that I am Draco Blair’s descendant. Which is why the door scanned me as ‘Blair’ even though I didn’t mention that, probably.”Theraphosa was surprised. It was clearly written on her expression. “Y-you’re a descendant?!” Her voice echoed in the chamber.Matthew nodded. “Yes. I think it’s fine to do it here. [Dispel].” Upon his command, Matthew’s facial appearance changed first followed by his hand.
A flood of mist quickly filled the room. Matthew, Rain, Theraphosa, and Gon were surprised to see this sudden event. Out of all of them, only Rain was able to act immediately in this situation while the others were utterly confused.“[Breeze]!” Rain casted a wind spell that blew away all of the mist.When the wind cleared the mist, an unbelievable sight was revealed. The room that was once filled with weapons and equipment, it was now half empty while the other half had dog sized ants carrying the weapons out of the chamber.“What the-?!” Matthew was shocked when he saw that.The ants paid them no heed and kept on with what they were doing. More mist was coming in from outside. The moment the mist covered an ant, it completely hid the ant’s presence.“Is this magic?” Gon asked.“No way. I didn't even sense them through my webs!” Theraphosa, who had set up webs all over the tunnel as part of her home, somehow did not notice anything passing through.“Less asking, more killing. Take out
Matthew, Rain, Gon, and Theraphosa were gathered by the entrance to the tomb after they managed to drive away the insect king named Noso. They regrouped inside the tomb and discussed their next action.“I can’t believe that you were able to crack that monster’s armour. As expected of Lord Matthew!” Theraphosa praised him with shining eyes.“Yeah, you were really strong. He ran away right after getting punched.” Gon said.Rain was also impressed but he asked Matthew a question instead of praising him. “Still, if you could’ve beaten him, why didn’t you do it? You could’ve finished him off.”Matthew shook his head from side to side. “I wasn’t confident. I put all of the power I could conjure into that one punch and it only cracked his shell. His armour is definitely tougher adamantite. My hand hurt from punching him too.” Matthew showed his right hand that still had a tingling sensation.“I couldn’t think of any way to deal with him. Of course, I didn’t use my best attack, but it was by
Around the same time while Matthew, Rain and Gon had just left, the chimaera siblings were managing the safe camp. Mala had finished treating all of the goblins’ injuries. Bartolo was currently cooking a meal for everyone. Potolo was talking to an old goblin, probably the chieftain.It was the chieftain that approached Potolo first. Potolo noticed the goblin and turned around to face him. “Is something the matter?” Potolo asked him.“Excuse me, mister.” The goblin was not speaking the common tongue, Omnian.But Potolo was able to understand the goblin’s language. “Eldwan, huh?”Eldwan was the ancient language used by both dwarves and elves. In the modern era, their languages branched into two languages known as simply dwarven and elven. They still share some similarity though.After knowing the language, Potolo decided that he should speak the same language . “Is something the matter?” He asked again.“Ah- we, we are truly thankful that you came to aid us. I thank you on behalf of my
