Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 166

 Two goblins.

They didn't intend to hide, but even though they couldn't see them, it seemed like they knew I was aware, as they gradually approached, making noises like "Gugyagyagya."

What should I be cautious of?

First, that they're much stronger than regular goblins.

If it's just about attack power, I've never been hit by a monster's attack before, so I don't need to worry too much.

The problem is their speed.

Is it increased?

In the dungeon, I had about a one-meter margin... Should I make it two, or maybe three meters?

Hmm... should I just charge into the horde of monsters?

Alright.

I'll kick with "Crimson Bee's Sting" and then rotate horizontally.

There's no point in hiding, so let's just go with the usual plan.

"...oh"

I decided on a plan and approached, but...

It's like the difference between a stray dog and a wild dog... It's a fierce appearance.

With eyes bulging and drool flowing from the corner of the mouth... Rabies, perhaps?

Although the body shape hasn't changed much, it's evident that they've lived a tough life, with scars on their bodies and ears torn off.

They're completely different from the goblins encountered in the dungeon or in the royal capital of Zelkis.

What's even more concerning is that they're holding a branch about the thickness of a child's arm.

Come to think of it, there's really no need to fight, and maybe it's okay to just run away?

But...

"No... Are you gonna fight?!"

Perhaps sensing a bit of hesitation, one of them threw the branch they had in their hand.

I was surprised, but the speed wasn't that great.

It flew while rotating with a length of about 50 centimeters, but if I'm moving with my feet, dodging creates an opening, but it doesn't apply to me.

"Hah!"

I quickly shifted to the side and closed the distance at once.

I delivered a kick.

And in that position, I escaped straight upwards.

Another branch thrown by the one who was kicked flew past where my body had been.

I might have been in danger if I had been more leisurely.

The one who received the kick still has breath, but it seems the damage was significant, as they're still crawling, and the other one has now let go of their weapon and is unarmed.

Now, all that's left is to finish them off!

◇

Though I easily pierced the heads of the two, since they don't have cores, that means their bodies remain.

What should I do...

"Hmm?"

Seems Akame, who had been wrapped around my left leg, has discovered something and is stretching its body.

Curious, I look in that direction...

"...wow"

It seems I've been continuously expressing weird surprise since earlier. Oh well.

About ten wolves... is that what they are? are coming towards me.

They probably sensed the scent of goblin blood.

They're coming straight at me.

Their strength is about the same as the wolves on the upper floors of the royal capital's dungeon, but perhaps I'm faster?

When I decided to fight the goblins, I was also on alert for my surroundings, but I didn't see them.

Since my sight range is about 200 meters, were they beyond that?

At this speed, they'll collide in less than 10 seconds.

In the dungeon, this might be sufficient, but outside, it seems it's not enough...

Good!

Akame.

Now then... it might be possible to escape, but it would be troublesome if they followed me to the town.

"Let's do this!"

I draw the umbrella hanging from my waist and take a stance.

And I begin preparing my magic.

There's a suitable tree about 5 meters ahead.

I'll use it as a marker.

"Hmmmm...!"

The goblins from earlier didn't have much effect, but these wolves seem to be using a different method than throwing.

Dealing with one or two wouldn't be a problem, but with this number, if something happens, I won't be able to handle it, so let's just finish them off quickly here.

Without "Dragon's Lung," I can't use continuous attacks, but compared to the dozen or so ogres, ten wolves.

They're not gathered in one place, so I can't guarantee I'll be able to blind all of them, but even so, I'll manage somehow.

If more reinforcements come during the fight with the two goblins... I'll run away at that time!

"Here they come!"

They're unusually large for wolves.

They're not beasts but monsters.

While the horizontally spread group changes to three vertical rows as they close the distance, there's one at the end.

That one is probably the boss.

As the leading row passes the marker tree, I swiftly ascend...

"Flush!"

I release the magic from the tip of the umbrella.
