The Peerless Kobold - Chapter 43
I took advantage of the opportunity and crouched low as I ran forward. Quickly determining them to be in the range of my non-human magic, I placed my hands to the ground and unleashed my Earth Magic into the earth.
“Vorugauah, garuuaaah!” (Devour them completely, Binding Fang!)
“!!”
“Gyaaaaaaah”
“Gugea!!”
Suddenly, the Earth Fangs sprouted from the ground and pierced the goblins one after the other and locked their movements while inflicting wounds. This was the non-human magic, “Binding Fang”, which I had used to immobilize the bandits in Viel village before.
Unlike last time, I had not buffed myself with Battle Cry, but both the quality and the quantity of my magic had improved drastically, probably an outcome of my daily training. Therefore, the Fangs of the Earth were larger, more numerous, and more powerful than before, but… naturally, I was unable to round them all up at once.
“Guaguru vorufa…” (I took out 7 of them, huh…)
The two goblins who were just outside the range of my “Binding Fangs”, along with the Goblin Fighter who only sustained a bleeding leg wound, raised his machete and attacked.
“Gyaoaaaaaa!” (Take thiiiiiiisssss!!)
*clash*
I blocked the attack from the machete with my short war hammer as I stood up. With our crossed weapons as the pivot point, I half-turned and slammed the hilt of my weapon in the Goblin Fighter’s face.
“Gugi!?”
Once I gained some distance from my opponent who recoiled from the pain of the hit, Lancer, with her spear in hand, rushed out from my side like a roaring gale wind!
“Voruau kuaruaann!” (It’s all about speed!)
According to the laws of physics, kinetic energy depends on the mass and speed of the object, and thus is one of the most fundamental factors that determine the penetration power of the spear. However, there was no way that a Kobold would understand such complex reasoning and pursuing speed during attack was just a mere guideline Lancer discovered intuitively ever since she got the spear…
“Gugaaaaaaaah! Gah… ah… guh”
In any case, her spear pierced right through the Goblin Fighter’s gut and brought it down. As if her defeating the opponent signaled her crossing the threshold, Lancer’s consciousness blurred as it was consumed by the white light.

“Varuo…” (It’s all white…)
I suddenly found myself in a completely white space, and in front of me was a shining Silver Spiral Staircase…
I was confused for a moment, but then an incredible amount of knowledge flowed into my head, and I understood what this was. However, what was at the end of the spiral was not disclosed yet.
(Rather, I wonder if everybody has seen this before?)
It’s okay to climb, right?
“Gaon, guruon guruooa…” (I mean, everyone seems to have climbed already…)
If it were in this place, then I could understand why my friends’ appearances changed. In fact, I was just a little envious of everyone, so I was relieved when I too received congratulations and applause as I took one step, and then another, and climbed the Silver Spiral Staircase.
I did not understand why I felt that way, as the praises that came my way made me a little uncomfortable, but… that feeling was just a fleeting thought. Before long, my consciousness was bathed in white light, and I woke back to reality.

…
“Oouah, kuuau!!” (You’ve evolved, Lancer!!)
“Wafi?” (What?)
Lancer’s limbs and the tip of her tail had all become covered in white fur, as she held the spear that pierced the Goblin Fighter. Also, a slightly warm wave of magical power flowed from her.
Name: Lancer (Female)
Race: Kobold
Rank: Kobold Holy Lance
Skill: Leg Strengthening (Intermediate/ Effect is Instantaneous), Primary Magic (Holy)
Title: Healer of the Forest
Weapon: Spear (Main), Dagger (Auxiliary)
Armament: Leather Armor
Since we were currently in the middle of battle, there was no time for us to be distracted.
“Giigiu, gyaoooooo!” (How dare you do this to my friends!!)
Without caring about ripping open his wounds, the giant goblin let out a roar, as he freed himself from the “Binding Fangs” with brute force and attacked us.
