Warriors in armour casting spells at the rear.
Clerics swinging their meteor hammers at the front.
Astrologers supporting with longbows in hand.
There were also thieves who hid themselves and threw magic tools at them.
Although this combination was so weird that it made people want to ridicule them from all angles, they had to admit that they were indeed very strong. It only took them about ten minutes to clean up the twenty goblins. But... the aftereffects were a little serious.
"Haven't you recovered yet?"
Fangzheng shrugged helplessly as he looked at the pale-faced Astrologer lying on the rock. After the battle ended, Fina canceled the buff of "Aura of Courage". After that, the Astrologer and Katie's expressions changed dramatically when they saw the bloody corpses in front of them. They ran to the river and started vomiting.
This was very normal. After all, these two were really pampered young ladies. They probably hadn't even killed a chicken in their daily lives.
In comparison...
Thinking of this, Fangzheng couldn't help but glance at Fina, who was squatting by the river and humming a song while cleaning her weapons. At this moment, the young priestess still had a cultured and elegant appearance, looking no different from the first time he met her.
Of course, excluding the meteor hammer in her hand that was cleaning the blood stains.
"I... I'm usually focused on supporting from the rear!"
Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, Fina blushed and stammered as she tried to explain.
"But... that... you see, didn't the Goddess recorded in the scriptures also slay evil dragons with a sharp blade? So... "
"I'm just a little curious."
Frankly speaking, Fangzheng was a little surprised to see Fina so adept at melee combat at first. But after thinking about it, he immediately accepted it. After all, Fina was a cleric, and more importantly, she was a beautiful girl. If she didn't have the ability to protect herself, she would have long been captured by bandits and enjoyed by them.
But even so, Fangzheng was still a little unaccustomed to the sight of the priestess swinging her meteor hammer and smashing the goblins' heads into smithereens.
"By the way … what's with that?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at Hayrien. The young female warrior who had displayed her prowess was now lying on the ground, snoring loudly. She looked as if she hadn't slept for a few days.
"Is that a Wild Hunter?"
"That's a Warlock Hunter."
At this moment, Katie seemed to have recovered. At least her voice didn't sound as weak as before.
"Some people in the Kingdom of Van Ril are born with the blood of dragons. Rumor has it that they grow horns on their heads when they are born, and their parents will cut off the horns on their heads when they grow to a certain stage, and then integrate them into weapons. In this way, the descendants of the dragon blood can have a weapon that is connected to their blood to fight with … But this way of fighting seems to be very taxing on the spiritual level … "
"I understand that … but why a sword?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng rolled his eyes helplessly.
"In the battle just now, she must have used her spiritual power to condense fire elements and then possessed them to attack. In that case, wouldn't it be better to make her into a staff or something?"
"I heard that it's because the Warlock Hunter is focused in battle. Their bodies won't respond to external attacks, and if the weapon connected to their blood is destroyed, they will also suffer serious damage. So … "
"I see."
With Katie's explanation, Fangzheng finally understood why the other party was dressed like a warrior despite being a spellcaster. Unlike the mages who had all kinds of spells, this kind of "Wild Hunter Warlock" seemed to only specialize in one element, and when they launched an attack, their consciousness would attach to the elemental body, thus neglecting the protection of the body. In addition, once the weapon that was "connected to their blood" was destroyed, it would also cause damage to the user, so the stronger the weapon, the better.
I didn't expect this to happen.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng stood up and stretched his body, then looked around.
"Well, since we've rested enough, let's move on."
"F- Mr. Fangzheng."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the female astrologer also stood up. She hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"Then, what should we do with the goblin corpses …?"
"Just leave them here. There are plenty of scavengers in the forest. Let these guys contribute to nature. But ….. before that, I need to investigate something. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng once again approached the goblin corpses. He squatted down, picked up a scimitar, and carefully examined it.
"Is there a problem? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"There's something wrong with this scimitar."
"Something wrong?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the other girls ignored the miserable state of the goblin corpses and curiously surrounded him.
"This scimitar ….. what's wrong with it?"
"Although races like goblins and gnomes like to use spoils of war in battle, but ….. don't you think this scimitar is a little too new?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised the scimitar and carefully examined it under the sunlight.
"It's even oiled. This doesn't seem like something those idiots who can't even calculate 1 + 1 = 2 can do. And the patterns on it ….. "
Fangzheng reached out his hand and wiped off the blood and mud on the scimitar. Following that, a silvery and gorgeous pattern surfaced before everyone's eyes.
"If goblins had such abilities, they could just become artists, right?"
"This looks like an elf pattern!"
Looking at the pattern on the scimitar, Fina exclaimed in shock. She widened her eyes in disbelief as she stared at the scimitar.
"How is this possible? Could it be that an elf was defeated by a goblin? This ….. this doesn't make sense! "
It was normal for Fina to be so astonished. After all, the forest was the territory of the elves. Not only did the elves in the forest possess magical archery that allowed them to shoot a willow tree from a hundred feet away, they could also communicate with nature and animals, and could even cast spells unique to the elves. Although elves weren't completely invincible in the forest, they still weren't something goblins could defeat.
"Anyway, we'll know after a little investigation, Nimfu."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Nimf, who was carrying Charmander, hurried to his side.
"Search the surroundings and see if there are any clues."
"Yes!"
As she spoke, Nimf reached out her hand to press her ear. Soon, layers of halos appeared in her eyes again. Then, Nimf was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head.
"Found it, 500 meters to the northeast, there's a large number of goblins' life fluctuations, as well as several unknown life fluctuations! Their life signs are very weak! " “
"Northeast?"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng raised his head and looked in the direction of the Ice Summit Mountains.
"Since we're here to save people, there's no need to worry about these troubles ….. You guys rest here. When you're done resting, come find me with Nimf. I'll deal with these annoying guys."
