Chapter 10 – Goblin Floor Part 3
I at long last got to the ninth floor, strolling with full iron armor was a cool experience. In any case, I don't have anything for the head piece, if I make a dragon like head helmet, it will be too much "dragon head design" *sigh*. I activated my 「Equipment Creation」magic and make an iron helmet with two extensive horns on both sides of the helmet like tusk, a tremendous horn at the focal point of the temple, two openings for the eyes and scales everywhere throughout the helmet. "I'm not that creative in design, yet this looks great." I wore the Iron protective helmet and a notice box showed up.
For creating an armor set, you have the right to name it.
Armor set Name: __________________
“Hmmm, what should be the name. . . . . .”
Minutes passed by and still, I can't think about a name.
“ARRGHH!! Let’s just name it with a normal one!”
Armor set Name: Iron Dragon Armor
Note:Armor can be customized through Equipment Creation
Name can also be changed
“Well that’s convenient.” I felt a warm sensation in my chest as I feel glad about creating something. This world is truly brilliant.
*Wang* *Wang* *Wang* I got startled as my 「Presence Awareness」 was sending me alerts. I took a gander at my radar and saw that considerable measures of little dots were surrounding 3 bigger dots. The little dots were beginning to vanish one by one, as I hear metal clashing to each other. I was interested about the commotion, so went to where the dots were.
Around the corner I at last got close and was observing, I was right about my thoughts. There was a battle going on, there were three adventurers battling a considerable amount of armored goblins, and what appeared to be goblin mages.
It was the standard adventurer’s party, a swordsman/warrior, a healer/cleric, and a mage/wizard. I can tell that they are strong yet they are having a little trouble as the numbers or armored goblin and goblin wizard were continue expanding in numbers.
-oOo-
Swordsman: "ARRGHH!! Die you goblins."
Minister: "In the name of The Holy Goddess of Light Auro, hear my call and give me you're blessing as the light may give strength and cleanse. 「Heal」." as a pillar of light was overwhelming the Swordsman.
The mage was additionally droning her spell in her own, and after that she cast a flame ball.
Mage: "Sorry, I can just do this much. I can't use a huge scale magic attack as it may cause too much destructive power and destroy this level.
Swordsman: It’s alright Mara, you are the strongest damage dealer in our party, and Fire Balls can be enough for now.
Priest: "ARTHUR WATCH OUT!!!"
The swordsman named Arthur was wounded by a Goblin Knight.
Arthur: "You damned Goblin Knights, AHHH!! 「Sword Slash」!"
*pant* *pant* " Elise would you be able to heal me once more?"
Elise: "Of course, however next time don't let your guard down." Elise chants her spell and heals Arthur.
Mara: "There will be no limit to this, do you have any plans?"
Mara took a gander at her comrades, yet nobody have any thought how to escape this chaos.
[In their minds.]
*God please help us go through this challenge I don’t want to die. –Mara*
*I’m running low on mana, if this goes on, I may not heal anyone anymore. We also have a limited supply of Health Potions, but those will make much difference. – Elise*
*Tsk! This Shitty Goblins, I don’t know if I can fight much longer, I’m getting exhausted; Healing Magic can make sure to heal the wounds but cannot recover vitality. Tsk! What to do?! What to do?! Please someone help us. – Arthur*
-oOo-
At the point when each one can’t think about a solution, and was beginning to lose hope, someone caught there Awareness. It was an individual emitting a strong aura, at the back of hundreds of goblins, there was a man wearing full iron armor. It was odd as this man was not equipped with any sword or weapon. *What does a knight without a weapon doing in here all alone?* that’s what every one of them was thinking, after that something unexpected happened.
This armored man was presently using magic skills, killing goblins with his bare hands. His movements are quick and precise, there are no Martial Art Forms in his movements, but he sure is strong. Slaughtering a considerable amount of goblins within seconds got the attention of the goblins that was surrounding the party. The party was only left to watch the ongoing fight.
In only a couple of minutes, the fight was over, hundreds or corpse was presently piled up and the floor was now a pool of goblin’s blood.
-oOo-
Arthur: “Wow, who’s this guy? He’s strong.
Elise: “We’re lucky that someone like him was here to lend us a hand.”
Mara was quiet as she was looking at the armored guy, and was observing.
Arthur came close to the armored man and was about to shake hands.
Arthur: “Man, you’re super strong, Thank you for saving our asses back then, I’m Art…” he was cut off by Mara..
With a panicking voice Mara shouts.
Mara: “ARTHUR GET BACK.” As she cast a fire ball that exploded at the mysterious man’s face, and covering it with smoke.
Arthur: “WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM MARA!! I’M JUST THANKING THIS GUY, WHY DO YOU NEED TO DO THAT FOR?”
Mara: “I SAID GET BACK NOW.”
Elise: “Mara, what’s going on with you?”
Mara: “GET BACK ARTHUR, H.. HE….. THAT’S NOT A HUMAN.”
Arthur was stunned and glance back at the Armored Man, as the smoke was dispersing into a flimsy air, a gleaming white eyes met with his eyes. Arthur immediately hopped back and unsheathed his sword.
Arthur: “I let my guard down, but what is this monster?”
Mara: “I used my「Appraisal」 and it says that it was a wisp, but it doesn’t look like those weak monsters.”
Elise: “It must be some kind of Doppelganger monster that hides its true race, and copied an appearance of some adventurer.”
Arthur: “None the less we must kill it, that armor will look great on me. Let’s go kill this weak wisp or what ever and get that armor.”
Mara: “But we must be careful, It’s a +E rank monster with a Level of 46.”
Arthur: “Tsss! don’t worry even I can handle this, I’m a C rank adventurer +E monsters are no match for me. And besides, compared to us, it’s 3 on 1, we have the upper advantage.”
“LET’S GO AND KILL THIS MONSTER.” Arthur dashed towards the monster and was prepared to swung his sword, while the other party members where chanting their skills.
But Mara was somewhat hesitant if they really can kill this monster. This monster took a direct hit on its head with her fire ball, but it didn’t damaged it nor even made a dent, she was talking to herself that it must have been pure luck.
*Ye… yeah that’s right, it’s only pure luck.*
-oOo-
I was watching the party fight in the shadows; it appears that they are experiencing serious difficulties with the goblins. *Should I help them? Well, what if they noticed that I'm a monster? But my appearance is now different. I'm sure if I can help them; I can perhaps expect something in return, or possibly some information about the outside world, or even about the barrier. It's excessively dangerous yet I'll do my best.* I moved out from the spot where I was stowing away and begin casting my spells, and crushing the head of a few goblins that jumped on me. It was only an easy task, I didn't break any sweat.
I killed every one of the goblins and was listening to praises from the party that I've saved. The person named Arthur came to me, I was going to shake his hands and say my welcome however I only took a flame ball as a welcome. It didn't hurt me as my 「Holy Guard」 was activated. At that point the Mage Girl Mara was currently panicking; I somehow realized this will happen. I was disappointed as it doesn't run well with what I was expecting to happen. They were talking nonsense, yet one and only word went to my ear.

“WEAK, WEAK MONSTER, WEAK, WEAK.”
I was looking at the stone floor, while my blood boils in anger from the words that I've heard. *Weak? I'm not weak. So this is what I got from saving someone. WEAK HUH? I’m going to show you who's weak.*
*howl* “AAAAHHHHHH.*
Trembling in anger, a notification box appeared.
Rage (Activated)
-oOo-
The "MC" was presently transmitting a strong killing intent, with some of his mana transformed into a white energy like aura that was covering his entire body. As he was being overwhelmed by anger and hatred, the white energy that was covering him was beginning to get darker and darker, until it turns into a total darkness. He was currently covered in darkness like shadow that just his splendid white light eyes can be seen as he take a gander at the approaching attack from Arthur.
Arthur felt the strong killing intent and was astounded about the sudden transformation. "Tsk! I can't change my direction now." Surging the sword with mana that made it glow with a faint blue light he utilized his ability and yell! "「Sword Thrust」"
As the sword went through the body, Arthur didn't felt anything and he was quickly going to jump back to take some distance. However, all of a sudden his vision turned dark, as a dark hand was currently holding his face, it was tight that even when he resist, nothing was happening. He was like a squirming rat that was between the lion's jaws.
The one that was holding his face all of a sudden talked, it was similar to listening to somebody that talk from the depths of hell, a devil's voice.
"So you wanted my armor huh? What a ravenous bastard, after I saved you. Tsk! You can just die." as he gradually presses Arthur's head.
Arthur was currently yelling for help, and was in incredible agony, as his skull was gradually being crushed. Blood was currently overflowing from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth, as his eyes was swelling out.
Arthur: "HELP, AGHHHHH, SAVE ME, HELP ME ELISE, MARA!! HELP!!" *cough* as he spout blood.
Mara and Elise was currently chanting spells. Different spells was being cast and was hitting the "wisp". It didn't made any harm, as the 「Holy Guard」 was presently activated.
Elise: "Release Arthur now you creature!!" As she uses sacred magic, however it appears that nothing was having any impact. "WHY? WHY DOES HOLY MAGIC DON'T WORK ON THIS EVIL MONSTER?WHY? hu hu." as tears begins to spill out of her eyes, as she hears the distress of Arthur.
Mara: "ELISE STOP CRYING AND CAST HOLY MAGIC!!! ARRGGHHH I'M USELESS, I CAN'T USE A GREATER MAGIC SPELL AS I MIGHT HIT ARTHUR!! YOU FUCKING MONSTER. . . DIE ALREADY!"
-oOo-
At this moment he was covered with black energy, the sword shouldn't go through his body as his armor can't be enhanced with 「Otherworldly Body」 only his physical body can use this skill. Be that as it may, this dark energy in some way or another changes everything, it changed his body and his armor to a complete shadow, as he can manipulate it to be solid or in gas form. Maybe this is a new strength that has awakened.
-oOo-
"WHAHAHA, yes! Yes! Shout in anguish, call for help." I was now putting more strength to my hand, and can feel that his skull was beginning to break.
*uhuk* *uhuk * *uhuk* Arthur was presently coughing sizable chunk of blood.
"Go shout in torment, as your desolation is only a charming music to my ear."
I took a gander at Arthur, he seems as though he won't last any more. I saw that there was approaching Fire Balls, so I protected myself using his body.
"Ahahaha, the odor of burning human tissue beyond any doubt is astonishing."
Mara: "Crap! Crap! YOU DAMNED BEAST HOW COULD YOU? ARTHUR I'M SORRY. ." this courageous lady was currently crying while his body was trembling in trepidation.
Elise: "NOOO!! ARTHUR!! " *tud* Elise tumbles to the ground and her consciousness has escaped away from mana lose.
Arthur's leather armor was currently burning and he doesn't have any strength to cry and shout.
Mara: "Elise! Elise! hu hu. You cursed beast." She used Water Magic and shoots out a Water Bubble that extinguished the flame that was burning Arthur.
"TSK! WHY DID YOU DO THAT, WHY ARE YOU SPOILING MY FUN?"
Mara: "You cursed beast, spare Arthur's life in return for Elise, and let us live."
"Hooo ho, interesting. So you're that sort of person huh.?"
"If it's not too much trouble I'm asking you, spare us and simply take Elise." her eyes were loaded with fear and her mind was set on sparing Arthur in return her companion."
"So you're alright on giving up your friend?"
"Ye...Yes, so please give me back Arthur and let us go."
I tossed Arthur before her, which she immediately embraced and gave legitimate treatment. She went after her bag and got a few bottles loaded with purple fluid. She then pour it to Arthur's mouth, a weak white light was flowing out from Arthur's body as his burned body parts were beginning to recuperate same as his injuries, yet the burned skin wasn't fully healed.
Mara: "Arthur, my adored Arthur, we will get away from this hell regardless of the fact that we have to dispose Elise. I cherish you Arthur, regardless of the fact that you didn't notice me as a woman and you generally have that look of admiration for Elise, yet worry not, Elise will be no more, and you may be mine."
Mara got up and was slowly walking to the direction of the exit while carrying Arthur.
“You know what I hate the most?”
Mara took a gander at me in shock, as blood streams out of her mouth as her stomach was hurting so severely that was pierced with a cold material, Mara took a gander at Arthur as an Iron Spear was puncturing its head. She burst out of tears, as she reviled me. "YOU FUCKING MONS. . . ." She was silenced by another Iron Spear that struck her heart.
“The person who abandons their family and friends.”
The dark energy was beginning to disperse, and I was beginning to calm down. A lot of notification boxes showed up yet I just hide it and didn't pay much attention. I took a glance at the young lady named Elise and murmured "What a poor young lady, being sacrificed by her companion." I begone Devouring the all of the goblin's corpses, furthermore the two dead adventurer as I may get a few abilities from them. I also consumed all of their equipments except for the bag that they're using. It was the regular adventurer's bag that can contain a ton of things. I took a look inside of both bags, however I just took the Mage's bag, as it contains some books that I can use. I took three distinct elixirs, the red one which I'm guessing was the typical Hp potion, the blue that was a Mana Potion and the purple one, that is by all accounts a more prominent Hp potion. I just took one of each and I put the rest to the other bag, and left it next to Elise. I know I was similar to a devil back there, managing to kill a human and feel good about it, my hands was shacking as I kept on remembering what happened. It felt like I was loosing my mind in some point, but maybe there are still a small amount of humane inside of me as I felt pity to Elise. *sigh* "What will I become in the future? Will I become a true monster and be pleased in taking life? ARRGGHHH!! NO, I don't want to be that kind of person."
"Tsk! What am I saying, I'm not even human anymore."
I noticed that Elise moved and was beginning to gain her consciousness; she opened her eyes however it appears like she was still not in her proper mental state.
"Mara surrendered you in exchange for her egotistical reasons, to escape this place with Arthur; I won't take your life as I'm not intrigued any longer. Use the potions in the bag and getaway from this Dungeon." With those words, I immediately walked away and went into the darkness, and start to explore the floor to find the exit.
-oOo-
I opened my eyes and there was a man in front of me, I can’t remember what happened. The man in front of me was spouting words that I can’t believe; I’m in a state where I can’t seem to move my body and my head feels heavy. I still felt weak; the man was now walking away into the deeper part of the floor. I wish I have said my gratitude for helping me. *Helping me with. . . . Wait!! ARGGHHH, my head hurts.* I now remembered that we were fighting a monster, but I run out mana resulting in metal fatigue, that’s how I lost my consciousness.
I remembered what he said, and I quickly reached out to the side and get some potions to drink. I called out for my companions “ARTHUR! MARA! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?” but only the silence replied to me. “No this can’t be, did they really do that? Did they really abandon me?” I looked at the Adventurer’s bag and noticed that it was Arthur’s bag.
“No!! The man who gave me the potions was . . . was the monster?! No!! Mara will never do that to me. Mara will never . . . she will never. . .”
Elise looked down; she felt that strength escaped her body as she was crying in the corner filled with blood.

Have a nice Day!!
