The group were approaching the battle. Kasper yin and yang eyes activated, scanning through the field like a hawk. Klaus got up from the floating carriage and jumped down from a height landing on a demonic beast that slammed to the ground into a paste.
Klaus: The royal council has assembled. Take every injured one out of the battlefield. Those who can still fight should stay behind. (Instructed)
Kasper also landed with the rest of the royal council with a mask on. He pulled out his already forged sword that he got from defeating the rare scale dragon. His stats had doubled after a successful contract with Sylara. His body felt super light.
The five got into work quickly to help the soldiers hold off their opponent. Lyraen summoned her crimson chain then finished off the opponents with her sword. Klaus dashed through the herd of charging demonic beast, slaying the nearest ones. Bael rode on a dark shadow disappearing into the herd and seconds later a large amount of beasts were cleared out. But the most unusual method of slaying was FREYA'S...
Her hypnosis ability was activated. She seductively walked to the middle of the stampede then stood. Kasper swung his sword at a beast that came charging at him while stealing glances at what Freya was planning to do. Just like a succubus would do, her alluring power turned the raging beasts into pets for the slightest minutes. A large group of beasts gathered around her while the unaffected man overed and attacked the armies.
Thud...thud...thud... The beasts around Freya dropped to the ground dead. Those who tried to break off from her hypnosis forcefully exploded.
Athena: Hello host!
Kasper: Does this look like a time to greet?
Athena: This battle is an unending battle. (Stated)
Kasper: what's that? (Asked confused)
Athena: The enemy is trying to wear the army out before landing a final blow on everyone and the kingdom. All these demonic beasts aren't real but unending illusions. They keep regenerating even after killing them (explained)
Kasper: (shocked) Then the source is among the herd.
Athena: Yes. A red rank, A rank higher than yours.
Kasper: Can you scan the area for me?
Athena: Scanning... Target found.
Name: Unknown
Specie: Goblin
Rank: High rank
Kasper: A goblin? Aren't goblin supposed to be low rank?
Athena: This doesn't feel like any ordinary goblin. It has probably absorbed beast cores and crystal and evolved into a high rank goblin. But the most terrifying thing now is that...
Kasper: Is what? (Caught in the suspense)
Athena: The goblin has spotted you. Dodge to the left quickly host. (Instructed)
Kasper: What? (Instinctively dodged as he was commanded then stared at his arm that had a cut) Ouchhh. What was that?
Athena: The goblin has more than one attribute. Manipulation and stealth.
Kasper: (shocked) And why the hell am I his target?
WOOSH! A rushing wind blew passed Kasper.
Goblin: Hello human (a voice whispered in his ear with the wind)
Kasper: (froze. He felt every hair on his body stand)
This wasn't a reckless opponent like the rare scale dragon. This was an opponent with two attributes and intelligence.
Freya: (felt an unusual feeling around Kasper) Get down Kasper (yelled at him)
Kasper: (fell to the ground, dodging the sneak attack)
Goblin: Too slow (slashed him with a sword)
Kasper: Arghhh (screamed)
Goblin: (landed a kick at Kasper throwing him meters away)
The armies attention fell on Kasper that was battling with an unknown enemy. His body now lacerated with sword cuts. His yin and yang eyes were unable to catch up with the movement of the opponent.
Kasper: What is this? (Stared at his bloody palm)
Khaos: Argh (thrown away by a charging demonic bull)
Kasper: Khaos! (Froze)
Khaos: (struggled to get up)
Goblin: Who is she? Your lover? (Asked with hints of mockery in his voice) Don't look away when battling with me. (Threw a punch at him)
Kasper: (surrounded himself with earth wall) EARTH WALL (the wall around him broke then surrounded Khaos protecting her) Quit being a coward oh mighty goblin.
Goblin: (stopped his sword an inch away from Kasper's neck)
Kasper weakly knelt on the floor trying to balance his slow healing process with the numerous pain around his body. His switched from the regular breathing to the ancient qi method. Minimizing his usage of enough oxygen in his lungs. Every deep cuts made him flinch at the slightest movement.
Kasper: Attack me one-on-one. Why hiding behind that stealth attribute of yours? Or are you scared that I might beat you? (Taunted)
