Goblins were somewhat of a Unique Living Organism , said to have been a race created through Chimera Experimentation with Blood & genetical essences of Ogres, Humans & Darvik race by a Powerful Venerable Darvik Senior back during the ‘Era of First Holy Rashidun Empire’ under the reign of World Emperor Abraham Qivaris Ashoka.
As they have some intelligence & can work in groups, these Monsters blur the line between Sentient Beings like Elf,Human,Demonfolk,Demhumans, etc.
However still, during the 1st Era they were barely able to survive & propagate themselves, later however during the subsequent ‘Era of Twin Sun Holy Empire’ under the reign of Sage Monarch Enoch Dasagriva, Enoch the King of Demonfolk saw the potential of the Goblins race as they under different environments & pressure the whole group mutated & evolved into Ash-Goblins & Copper Goblins & many other varieties.
Seeing this he further tried to initiate the Goblins into the Society & Working Culture of the DemonFolk. It was a Large Scale societal project which took hundreds of years long after Enoch resigned from the throne. These Races didn’t let the goodwill down, & now many could evolve from Normal Goblins to Higher More Civilized, Rational & Sentient Evolution form The Hob-Goblins & Shaman-Goblins .
During the setting Dusk of Twin Sun Holy Empire , there was even some exceptional High-Ogre Raceform. However during the Beginning of the ‘Era of Three Truth Empire’, these fully assimilated race particularly were butchered tragically left right & center particularly due to them being Heretical Artificial Race not Blessed by the Nature & God Shahraab Himself, this race almost went to extinction, but fortunately the Zonan Empire was able to save them & accept them as almost 2nd Class Citizens.
So at one aspect they had more Pure & Stronger bloodlines that survived the Genocide while at the same time they seem to have an increased relations & affairs with the Demonfolk Race, Now in the current Era, there were Many Generals of the Zonan Empire who are Evolved further from Ogre to Ogre Lord to Ashura & Rakshasa DemonFolk, a sub-species of Demonfolk Race constantly replenishing Fresh Blood to the slightly less reproductively potent DemonFolk Sub-Species Rakshasa or Ashura .
Nonetheless, except the civilized & more Self-controlled HobGoblins in the Demonfolk predominant Eastern Continent in all the rest of Central & Western Continent, in the Current ‘Era of Four Falling Blood’ .
The one attackings Sargon & his entourage were these lawless Immoral Goblins who were unlike Civilized HobGoblins only knew Force & Cunning to force themselves into existence through reproducing the Caught Prized Females of any Kin or Race. Killing Men & Subduing Women, attacking the Weak while avoiding the Strong, Having Greed & Envy & Keen sense of Smell towards Spiritual Mana Resources.
There is a saying among Casual Cultivators Adventures from this Vagabond Vagrant Organization known as Guild who often take on Guild Missions to clear the City Surroundings from Monster Races .
‘I wish the ill-fate of being finished from Goblin Raid unto the Heretical Forest-Dweller Barbarians ’, goes the saying. So one can infer from that how dangerous & brutal these Savages are that even Barbarians are Civilized & Holier than thou creatures in front of them, just imagine what animal nature & crafty mind can infer damage to the captured victims.
“Attack !” It was an attack. Not From the Bandits or other Sentinel Races but From the Tribe of these very twisted Devils Children Goblins.
Sargon was not scared but his mind was paralyzed with anxiety Nervousness & Overthinking right now. After taking a few stabilizing breaths & rotating the Mana within. He soon woke up his fellow accomplices.
“Senior Sister , what should we do ? ”, the extroverted Rockarna Hanim who had the most interaction with Dark Elf Senior asked.
“Just Stay Put! Don’t try to be a Hero & increase our Burden. There are just 3 Hob-Goblins & 1 Goblin Shaman who are something we can easily handle. ”, Samantha commanded whilst loading & unloading the arrows from her Black-Red Bow.
She was sometimes using Arrows from her back which provided more concentrated Damage while sometimes she would damp her hand in the pocket containing some Spirit Light Stone Powder, chant some words pulling the Bow String which manifested a Spirit Arrow & attack with it, which had low-damage but a wider area Scope.
The Twin Bald Yanz Brothers, one had Gauntlet while another used Mace while attacking & handling the 3 Hob-Goblins well using their weird combination tactics . Going back & forth with each other while still decimating the incoming herd of less-evolved standard Green Goblins.
The Old Darvik Woman , Outer Sect-Elder Aaisha was controlling the Large 3 Foot Gold Ranked Houtian Grade Tiger Beast which was attacking straight-forward acting as the only Vanguard pushing towards the direction of Long-ranged Goblin Shaman , supported by constant Bombardments by Archeress Samantha.
Of Course the Middle-aged Human man who was a Innate Earth Magus- who was at the 8th Mana-Circle Mage was also helping it from the side frequently throwing Fire-Balls at the crowd surrounding the tiger whilst at the same-time defending the tiger from Magic Lightning Spells of Goblin Shaman.
His other focus was on serving as a Defensive link for the Sect Members fighting.
She was at the same time controlling Hundred of Iron-Ranked Houtian Grade Phosphorous Destruction Flying Beetles to swarm around the Carriage & the panicked Draconic Steed ,protecting the Carriage & Sect Initiates.
“Close the Way towards Carriage. Form an Earth Dome to ease the pressure of the Gu-Insects.”, Sect Outer Elder Aaisha commanded. She was the one with the Highest Cultivation Level in this Group & the Eldest among them.If any unwanted accident were to happen she would be the one responsible & her Future Progress in the Sect would be hopeless.
She who was Innate Sky Magus, a title as a form of status given to those who have achieved the performance of the 9th Mana-Circle the Pinnacle of Mortal Mage i.e entered the 9th Houtian Phase, was still less than 80 years, as she was from a longer lived race of Darviks, she could with some-help of Sect build a Pre Celestial Foundation and increase her lifespan from 200 to 300 year old & be given the title of ‘Xiantian Foundation Paragon’ & take another step, a 2nd Step towards the Immortality from Mortal existence.
She could be promoted to an elite-few Inner Elder of the Sect & attain the Heavens with one step.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
But Alas, Building the Foundation for Immortality was lethal , full of challenges, out of every 100 only 5-6 succeeded , failure to build meant Death ! !
So , she was the one with the Most pressure & was cautious to the core in this Mission, she was the one who had traced the Incoming Goblin Race & was now commanding & had stabilized the Chaotic situation.
As soon as Elder Aaisha commanded, the Twin-Bald brother took on a Defensive & Evasive tactics coupled with their Feather Like Bird SpeedMovement technique & soon performed a set of Hand & Body Martial Gestures & used body as a conduit to manipulate the essence of Earth & Bend Earth to form a Strengthened Dome around the Carriage.
Sargon & his accomplice seeing this scene were flabbergasted & amazed at beginning while they saw the Earth Dome closing while feeling Safe & light being blocked soon Anxiety & Fear started to built-up among them.
“If some Goblins manage to pass through, finish them off & If the situation gets worse be ready to flee in different directions while eliminating traces specially of smell”, voices of Darvik Lady came upon the crew as if from all directions.
But they were not some kids from a Privileged & Safe Culture of Modernity of Earth but children who had come-of-age & passed through Blood-Baptization in the Covenant Trials. Soon, under Sargon’s calming & their inner strength they started to organize & formed a Circular Defensive Battle Formation , with Mages & SpiritMaster at center & Fighters & Warriors at the periphery.
“Look, We need to be calm. Although the Earth Dome is strong beyond means & is routinely recovering the damage parts & Holes by constant Earth-Bending from Twin Yanz Brothers, we should attack from these openings first using long-range Mages either they be Sorcerers who use SpiritForce or Wizards who use Chi/Life Mana while the Short-range Body mage like Me, Rockarna , suman, Sofi will attack the goblins who rush slowly.”, as there were no healers among these low-leveled Noob, this was the best strategy that Sargon came up with.
After some minor discussion & changes , the whole crew were ready to follow the Sargon’s Lead as others from the previous discussion could infer that he seemed to be Wise & Mature enough, & what else could they do except bet on it ?
Sargon had borrowed a little spare Dagger from a girl named Chryssa Manaki, a human girl & was getting familiar with it using an Object-control Spirit Kinesis part of Yin-Yang Samsara Wheel Sutra . He was finding ways so he could easily & effectively utilize & Control it.
‘Yaaaa’ !!
Crack Crack
The Mischievous Goblins with perverted look on his face had escaped the long-range Fire & Water Magic Bombardments & blaze through the Spirit Manifestation of Vines blocking it, had slipped through Rockarna Hanim & was just about to bounce on a Female Mage.
SLASH !!!
But Suddenly his Head had remained left- behind with a not-so Clean Slashed Neck spurting Blood perpendicularly up like from Waterfall.
As soon as Blood & Gore fell upon the water Mage Girl she panicked & yucked and vomited out .
But she was not some happy-go-lucky teen girl from Modern Earth, she was born & raised in Nashirah , and passed through the Covenant Trials. She had too taken a life, it's just that Goblins were not Draconic Beast condemned by the Morality & Priest alike, nor was it Beast which had a competitive all-out Rampage creators, but it was a Monster neither Human Nor Beast & had much more closer resemblance with Humans, so killing was a little hard.
She soon cleaned herself by forming Hand Seal Signs & converting the Mana from the Magic Wand into Illusory Water which had Material Corporeal affect & property of Water & she cleansed herself from Blood & soon enough the traces of Water Disappeared after a few breathless of her Finishing the Spell.
This was the Usual Impact of Mana or any other Projection Spells , where these illusory Energy particles will change their shape & Nature have Corporeal Material Interaction with the world but its Impact will soon erode as the Transformative energy in the Mana would be hollowed out.
“Let's hold on tight . Try to not give goblins a chance to escape due to miscalculation , be calm. ”, Sargon refocused the Group’s energy & instantly made them more cohesive and alert.
“UAAAAAAGGGGHHAAA !!!!”
A Large Ear Threatening Roar came from the western side of their Camping Tent .
“It’s an Ogre. Damn It ! Continue & Maintain the line here , let me finish up this Monster real-quick & provide help again or else the situation would be increasingly unfavorable towards us.”, saying thus using Multi-Direction Sound Transmission Art Elder Aaisha , patted her Beast-Storage bag out of which came an Aerial-Bird like Creature.
She hopped on the back of Sky Banshee Condor , a favorite & almost religious Companion Tamed Beast of Darvik Race & went with speed to kill the Ogre which had the Cultivation-Base rivaling him.
The Dome was getting weaker and weaker & its collapse rate increased & passed the rate of Repair by the Yunz Brothers as they were now more & more distracted from the increased pressure from the Goblin Herd .
Before the Central Dome Fell & collapsed on Sargon & his Crew, a Wind Spell was executed by Middle-aged Human Wizard Magus which lifted the broken Large Stone Pieces out of Harm, “Protect the Carriage. Lets Play Defensive Junior Yanz & Samantha”, he expressed his best tactics.
As soon as words fell on their ears & their Vision landed on the situation of Carriage & Sargon the rest agreed & tried to form a Defensive wall around Sargon & crew.
But Goblins indeed had a numerical advantage , especially now it even increased due to the deficiency of Elder Aaisha. So many of the Goblin Minions passed through as Four Seniors did their best to kill the More Dangerous Goblins for Sargon & his Crew.
But even so, how can one hand compare with four hands ? Soon, the situation was getting more dangerous & crucial around them. Seeing this Rockarna gulped a Pill & soon became more aggressive , while Arjumon Sinek unconsciously switched from Staff to Spear Technique.
Chryssa Manaki , from whom Sargon had borrowed the Dagger, also showed her prowess as Wind-Elementalist. Others too increased their potential from within in this seemingly Life & Death Scenario.
Sargon too, accelerated his Spirit Kinesis of the Dagger, with it getting almost amazing top-notched Speed being exquisitely controlled to pierce through the Vital Organs of Goblins. He also started to execute the Essence Subduing Flame Sword Technique passed down by his Father which Sargon had slightly modified for use of Saber.
It was the first time for Sargon to use the Sword Blade Art along with a truly Jade Ranked Mortal Grade Saber that his Father had given during his departure.
With one Medium-ranged Wide-Area Cutting Machine & one Central Short ranged powerful Saber Art, he was on a Killing Spree.
It soon started to feel exhilarating .
Oh, the Feeling of Power. The Feeling of Excellence .
Dominating Battlefield.
I wish this Glory Upon Every Friend & Foe alike.
These thoughts were increasing & starting from his SpiritForce & followed by Mana it was slowly becoming more chaotic, more abundant to the point of being harder to control. If given enough time for a stick of incense to burn & finish he would go mad & be corrupted & seduced to the Way of Sith, a way of Devil.
“Stop! Calm yourself Down, boy !!”, a voice of an old lady came upon his ear waking himself up from the Stupor that he had, it continued ,”In Essence's Embrace, through Mana's Channel, with Spirit's Compass, May you be guided to Light by Shahraab’s Grace, Amen.”
He noticed that more than half of Mana had already been lost & he had in frenzy forgotten to focus on his Energy Levels. Sargon took a Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag & took the Energy inside the body followed by some mantra & slowly calmed himself down while replenishing his Mana.
SHUIII
A Huge Fierce & Ugly Human Like Head with Greenish Skin-color , with protruded Saber Tooth in his Mouth fell onto the Ground from the Skies making a ‘Dull’ sound.
“Their Leader is Dead . Let’s eliminate the evolved Goblin Shaman & Hob-Goblins to be safe for future troubles of us Sentient Races under the grace of His Holiness The Most Merciful Shahraab”, Came a dry & weak Womanly voice from Elder Aaisha who stood up on the back of Sky banshee Condor.
