After sending the squirrel team to scout the enemies, Lunus was informed about the encounter with a strolling goblin a moment later.

“Master, sorry. I killed it...,” the squirrel apologized after it reported.

It seemed even when their memories were gone, the squirrels still had a subconscious hatred toward the goblins.

“Don’t worry, it’s alright. Just hide the corpse… Wait, can you use your vines to control that green wart?”

“Will try, master… Yes, I can at least move it.”

“That’s good. Then make sure to hide your vines and use that body to sneak inside.”

It was fortunate that the squirrels could use their vines to control the goblin’s corpse. Now they had obtained a good spy to observe the enemy’s camp.

Several minutes later, the squirrels had finished checking the layout together with the states of the camp and right now was the best chance to make an ambush.

“Brave warriors, the dirty green warts are right in front of us not knowing that we are all ready to trample them into dust!”

“““OHHHH!!!”””

Lunus gave his speech in front of his underlings as they prepared the ambush. He arranged an easy formation that his white stag herd had used for a long time: they called it a “boar charge formation.”

By arranging the strongest warriors in the first line of the formation, they could cover the weaklings’ weakness and maximize the charging impact.

Right now, the bulls were arranged at that honorable charging line following by the wolves and the boars that could move faster but had a lower charging impact. The rabbits and the squirrels were placed on the other beasts’ back to help cover the beasts’ blind spots while increasing their mobility.

“All you need is following me and stomp them under our heavy hooves! Leave none of them alive and rescue any beast they had captured!”

“““OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”””

Lunus walked in front of the formation as he stood firmly alongside the bulls’ leader. Having two most powerful warriors leading their charge is the best course of action.

“Everyone, get ready!”

Vines loosened from Lunus back as they fluttered in the air like a mantle. Golden light sparkled from the berries illuminated the thick fog and gathered the attention of his men.

Next to him, the earth-brown particles appeared around his body together with the dirt. Soil and small stones gathered around his huge body and strengthen his huge build.

The beasts were all ready. Their hollow eyes showed neither a tiny bit of fear nor nervousness.

“Now, CHARGE !!!”

Leading by Lunus and the bulls’ leader, the entire pack of a hundred beasts sprinted at full speed. Soft soil flew into the air as they kicked the ground.

Even when the fog was this thick, the only thing they must do was following after Lunus’ lead which illuminated brightly inside their blurry scene.

A moment later, a big crowd of green creatures came into Lunus’ sight. They didn’t even notice him and only focused on cheering something inside their circle.

Then, it was his best chance to strike first and clean the floor with their dirty blood. Lunus continued charging at them and landed his hoof on the head of the closest goblin, cracking and scattering the content inside like a smashed pumpkin.

However, he didn’t stop just at that as his body continued diving into the crowd of the green warts. Flesh and blood scattered around whenever his hooves kicked down.

The goblins then turned their attention toward their fallen comrades. Seeing their friends got smashed into minced meat, all they could see was the death gods in the form of beasts covered in vines.

“Guah, enemy attackkkk!!!”

“Runnnnn!!!”

The fear of being smashed under those hooves was instantly carved into their heart as they ran away in all direction while screaming noisily.

Before this sudden charge, even the tricky goblins had no way to resist, let alone finding their weapons.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Looking sideways, Lunus also saw the bulls’ leader and his men mercilessly pierced the goblins with their curved horns. Blood dripped down from the skewered goblins soaked the earth-strengthened body of the bull and dyed it red.

With this, I can entrust the charge’s lead to him, Lunus thought.

He jumped high into the air and ran on the retreating goblins, using them as his stepping stones. He then unleashed the vines on his back to pierce and entangle them along the way he ran to, and used them like a bat or throwing stone to tackle the further goblins down.

Lunus moved fast like a wind and the countless tentacles of vines on his back hit the enemies like crazy whips, making anyone witnessing this scene misunderstood him as a moving hurricane

From his followers’ eyes, tens of enemies had fallen just because he ran past them.

However, in reality, he had refrained from making a sure kill as it would take him too much time. As the one furthest from the charging line and as the one with the greatest speed, he chose to just knock as many enemies as he could to avoid them from running away. Then the real finishing blow would be entrusted to the charging line behind him.

“Here they finally come out, as expected of the green warts who killed my comrades.”

Before he could finish the remaining enemies, the goblin guards appeared from behind. Held in their hands were a big metal shield and a short sword. The shields were arranged as their defensive line was formed to stop the charge.

“As if this could stop us!”

Paying the shield line no attention, Lunus casually hopped past them as he continued sweeping the fleeing foes.

With just an unexpected move, nervousness grew in the guards’ face. An enemy had broken through their defense line without caring about their presence. And right now, they had been sandwiched, not knowing where to face their shield to between the charging line of bulls in front of him or the monstrous deer that was right behind them.

Taking an advantage of the small opening in the enemy’s defense line, the bulls charged straight through the guards. Some of them got lucky that they had died from being trampled and squeezed to death together with their armor; however, those that got pierced by the bulls’ horns were unfortunate as they slowly died while being dragged around the place.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!!,” a raging roar echoed from behind the fleeing green warts.

Then, the source of the shouted appeared as a gigantic green creature appeared. It looked just like other goblins, but its size was comparable to a huge bear. Its limbs were full of muscles and its face was boiling red from its anger.

In its hand was a boulder rock which it threw toward Lunus who was the closest one.

Seeing the projectile coming toward him with a great speed that was impossible to dodge with his four legs, Lunus whipped his vines on the ground as his body dodged sideways, escaping the hit by a hairbreadth.

He landed safely on the ground, but when looking back at the spot he had been before he could see a few bodies of the goblins being crushed and buried there.

Don’t this giant feel shame for killing his own men?, he wondered.

However, it seemed like such a thing never crossed its mind as it only glared at Lunus with bloodshot eyes.

“What is this? A monster? I’ve never seen such a thing like this, but well whatever. I’ll just crush it to death and feed its soul to the core!,” the green giant shouted.

It threw a bigger boulder toward him and once again he dodged it.

But when his hooves touched the ground and his vision shifted back from the boulder, a huge green lump of muscles was right in front of his eyes.

“I got you!”

The huge goblin leaped and grabbed Lunus’ skull before he could react in time. The creaking sound created from the monstrous strength that expressed on his bare bone warned him of his death.

“Tch!”

Knowing that shaking this monster off was already impossible, Lunus sent his vines to coil around the green arm. He tightened it and tried to lift its fingers out, but he couldn’t compete with this monster in pure strength.

Then I just have to do it more serious!, he shouted in his mind.

Suddenly without increasing the strength in the coiling vines, something weird happened with the huge arm as the monster’s face twisted in pain. Unable to endure whatever happened to its arm, the huge goblin released its grip and shook the vines off.

Lunus also retreated several steps back as he took his vines back. The vines loosened and splattered red blood on the ground as countless small holes appeared along the huge goblin’s arm.

Lunus had grown roots along the coiling vines and sent them penetrating the goblin’s skin. The wounds were by no mean deep as the roots weren’t that strong, but the sudden pain had proven to be effective as veins were popping on the monster’s head.

“Now you did it! I, Gugaga, swear to crush you into pulp and then I will urinate over your corpse!”

Not caring about his wounds, Gugaga unleashed a huge mace from its back as it stared at Lunus’ hollow eyes.

Rumbling sounds could be heard as the bulls and other beasts ran past them like a wave while avoiding the area around this fighting zone.

This monster is dangerous, Lunus thought, how could I kill it?

Magic Encyclopedia: [Shadow Storage]

Element: Darkness

Level: Intermediate

[Shadow Storage] is an intermediate darkness magic that grants the caster’s shadow the ability to hold and keep things inside.

As a principle of dark-elemental magics state that shadow is a mysterious space as it contains an unreachable depth of darkness that mysterious things could lurk inside, a shadow can also be used as a storage as long as the caster has his own shadow.

This magic is similar to the well-known storage magic, [Space expansion] of space-time element; however, there is a limit of requiring a shadow in [Shadow Storage] as races that have no shadow, vampires for example, can’t use this spell at all.
