Oz followed Geeta to explore the city. He is very shocked! Because the goblin tribe differs totally from the goblin tribe in his head.
Along the tour, he saw goblins with an appearance that very similar to that of humans are doing farming, cooking, training, and stuff. The common knowledge of the stories about goblins is they are small, cowardly, weak, and dumb. The only thing that goblins usually have is a crazy amount of number. They fill the gap of their race and another stronger race with their power of number. But what the goblins here have is not only a great number, but they also have the knowledge, they have the skills; they have the rules at their tribe, and some of them even use real magic.
(Magic! real magic! I must obtain this knowledge before I go to the human town.)
(But still this place is outstanding. I doubt there is a human town could have a great harmony like this.)
"Here we are, this is the place where the tribe got the most food from. The cobblestone river" Said the cheerful Geeta.
"Oh, so do you do fishing here? or you just collect some small animals or hunt the humans who drink here?" asked Oz.
"So you have some knowledge, after all. Yes, we do fishing here but we only use traps so we could hunt the animals who drink here too. But sometimes there is a dangerous beast who'll come here to hunt and my brother will come to defeat the strong beasts that will danger our members." Geeta said dramatically while showing off a little. She silently steals some glances to Oz, hesitating to say something.
"You seem to adore your brother-in-law so much, well he's a great man. Just ask me if you want to ask something, don't hesitate." Oz said coolly.
Geeta startled. "A-ah yes, um, I only want to ask you one thing. judging from your size and skin, you're a goblin duke right?" Asked Geeta carefully while glancing at Oz.
"My brother said, you are a goblin duke but you have no mana aura leaking from you." She explained.
"So you're a wizard." Asked Oz. Only a wizard would talk about seeing mana as Oz sees mana after he starts to transform to a goblin duke.
She nodded.
(So my guess is right, from all of the goblins I met, only Aegir, the goblin magicians, and Geeta that sees me with a weird look. All the goblins who use magic have an aura enveloping them, including Aegir and Geeta. I thought I will have a strong mana aura enveloping me as I have the infinite mana and I could see the auras. But it seems that mana principles are not the same with qi.)
"Um, my circumstances are rather difficult. From what I remember, I learn how to fight on my own, so I still don't understand how to use mana and stuff. But yes, I'm a goblin duke." Oz explained.
"Seriously? then how do you utilize your skills and how the heck does you even fight!?" Geeta asked. "Ooh, so you the type who uses raw strength, huh. No wonder you got that wound and manage to survives. Relax, I'll teach you how to use mana when we get back home" Geeta sweetly said.
"My pleasure, I would be glad if you'll te-" When Oz about to ask Geeta to teach him magic too, they heard a scream coming from the downstream.
*KYAAAAAAAAAA*
The voice is high pitched so they immediately know that it's a woman. The scream is different from the screams that women do when they're surprised or when they got tripped.
This is the scream of terror.
Oz and Geeta rush to the downstream. When they got near the downstream a growl from a beast could be heard. They increased their sprint hoping there will be no casualties.
*Growl*
When they arrived at the downstream, 5 guys are in the middle of the battle with a beast with the head, talons, and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion.
"IT'S A GRIFFIN!" shouted Geeta, surprised.
No wonder the woman's voice is full of terror. The one who appeared is a fearsome beast!
(Hell could I even manage a hit by that beast?)
The griffin flapped its wings and only by the one swing of his wings and all the goblins got thrown to the air.
"All the goblins under the rank of rare fallback! now! Go get my brother-in-law!" Geeta shouted to give commands.
Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators!
All the goblins retreated and Geeta hastens her incantations.
"I'll buy you some time," Oz said cooly.
Oz rushes to the Griffin side and tries to give a punch using strengthen.
!!!???
The Griffin doesn't even move a flinch. The griffin flapped his wings again and tried to bite Oz. Oz ducks the bite but he got thrown by the wind emitted from the griffin's wings. but the thing that shocked Oz the most is not the fact that he can't injure the griffin.
(My Qi can't came out! Why don't I realize this earlier! Shit!)
Oz tried to concentrate his focus to his meridians, and after he tries that, he spits out a mouthful of blood.
"Ren!" Geeta shouted. Geeta thought that Ren is injured by the impact and he is still under recovery from his wound so it worries her that Ren will be got more injured by the impact that he got just now.
(Ugh. It seems that my meridians are injured. Shit. It took a lot of time to recover an injured meridian. And the worst is I need to cultivate from the start!)
When Oz is grumbling about his injured meridians. The spell that Geeta chant had just finished.
"Ice Shards!" She put her hand forth and shouted. And a dozen of arm-sized icicles came out from the magic circles in front of her hand.
The Griffin felt that its power is superior to the icicles momentum so it just flapped its wings thinking that it will be enough to face the icicles. The wind crashed with the icicles but the icicles pay no heed to the winds from the griffin wings and pierce through it easily. The Griffin is shocked but there's not enough time for it to dodge so all the icicles strikes its body directly.
"Yes!" Geeta rejoice.
*Roar*
The Griffin roared enraged. The icicles manage to injure it but not severely. The Griffin is enraged because of the icicle attack.
The Griffin flies to the sky, and the sky darkens, the clouds changed to black colored and they could hear the sounds of thunders.
It will use Thunderbolt!
Oz understands that it will use a terrifying skill to retaliate Geeta's ice shards. he couldn't analyze the Griffin's skill damage accurately. But he trusts his guts, and his guts said that the Geeta will not survive that attack.
The sounds of thunders are getting bigger and bigger, Oz rushes and jumped to Geeta. And-
*Sound of a terrifying thunder*
The thunder struck at Oz with terrifying speed and momentum. Oz gritted his teeth bearing all the pain while protecting Geeta from the terrifying thunder. The most terrifying thing is, there are 10 thunderbolts that struck Oz at once.
"Ren!!!" Geeta shouted worriedly.
"Why do you do that? Maybe I wouldn't survive it, but you're injured too." Geeta said while in the verge of crying.
"My pride as a man couldn't stand the fact that I will only stand still looking a beautiful girl getting attacked in front of my eyes," Oz said coolly.
Geeta blushed. They're having the conversations but the Griffin is not standing still, seeing the mage that injured it had survived its attack, the Griffin is once again enraged.
The Griffin dashes to where Oz and Geeta are. But before it could land its attack on them-
"Horizontal strike!" A voice sounded. The figure who own the voice dashes right at the second when the Griffin's strike almost hit Oz and Geeta.
*Booom*
"Brother-in-law! Finally, you came!" Geeta said relieved.
"Yes. How is Ren's condition" asked Aegir solemnly.
"I'm okay. I just need a minute to regain my balance." Said Oz coolly.
"That's good then, Hey you, give Geeta her equipment," Aegir nodded and said, and a goblin brought a helmet, gauntlets, shield, and a sword.
"Use your equipment quickly Geeta, this beast won't give us that much time." Ordered Aegir.
"Okay, brother-in-law," Said Geeta with a serious face.
As Geeta uses her equipment, Aegir takes the attention from the Griffin. He uses strengthen while use speed enhancements too. He dashes to the Griffin who starts to get up and swing his sword hard.
*Clank!*
The sword and Griffin's claw collided. Aegir raw strength together with the enhancement magic still can't match with the griffin's metal hard claw.
*Whoosh* Aegir got thrown backward because of the impact. Aegir got thrown but the Griffin easily recover its balance and dashes to the flying Aegir.
"Geeta!" Aegir shouted.
"Yes! Wall of Frost!" Geeta shouted.
A wall of ice appeared between Aegir and the Griffin, The Griffin crashed to the wall and got bounced backward. It seems to get some damage from the impact.
After the Griffin got bounced back from the wall, Geeta immediately dashes to the Griffin with her shield and her great sword. She swung her sword and shouted. "Sword of Frost!".
The sword slashed the Griffin and some icicles could be seen to be corroding the Griffin.
*ROAAAAR!*
The Griffin roared louder than before because of the damage it got. It got more enraged and it about to strike Geeta with its claws but Aegir appeared behind the Griffin and strikes its back. Geeta make use of the momentum Aegir made and took that chance to retreat. After giving the Griffin a strike, Aegir retreated too.
The Griffin got all wounds all around its body because of this magnificent pair of two.
(They're strong!, They have such great teamwork and they use strategy as efficient as possible! but the most surprising thing is, for Geeta to be not only a magician but also a magic knight.)
Oz's shocked by the power of the two
(But..)

(Mind magic, huh? No wonder she could deceive my appraisal card. Next time whenever I checked someone using the appraisal card I need to make him/her touch the card I guess. But, to think that the damn beast only got 400.000 damage after all of that strikes.)
Seeing the successful attack they had made. Aegir and Geeta are about to attack them together again.
(So they used mana to reinforce and strengthen themselves. Different from my Qi, they use their mana by borrowing the external power of the body, so they use the mana from the aura they emitted. My Qi is back to level 1 because of the damn black kitty. Well level 1 Qi will only double the status but it is enough.)
"This will be a hard damn fight. But it's interesting." Oz smirked.
