The Peerless Kobold - Chapter 53
Buster kicked one of the goblins who had an arrow in his chest when he came to join the fight and raised his greatsword and swung it down on the Goblin Fighter who pulled on the captives’ ropes.
“Guuruaaah!!” (Instant Kill!)
“Giiaaaaaah”
Intending to block the blow, the Goblin Fighter raised his sword and pushed back with all his might, but Buster’s one-hit attack broke it and the blade sank into half of his skull, causing him to die immediately.
Aiming for the time when Buster paused after his splendid attack, another goblin tried to stab his dagger at Buster from the side, but…
“Kuonn!” (Pierce!)
“Gii!?… Giuah!!”
Lancer’s goblin spear suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pierced the abdomen of the goblin who tried to take Buster by surprise.
“Onh!” (Hyah!)
She quickly pulled back her weapon and kicked away the goblin as she removed her spear from it. As the two of them appeared, the 19 cat kin warriors also charged and fought bravely.
“Uooooooh!”
“Diiiiiieeeeeee!!”
“Giih!” (S**t!)
“Gigiguh, gugaaoh!” (As if we’d just let you kill us!)
Two of the cat kin warriors stopped the goblins’ slash attacks with their bucklers and counter-attacked with a thrust of their swords.
“Kuah!?”
“Ow, dammit!”
With their natural agility, the cat kin warriors jumped back, but they sustained shallow cuts as the enemies’ attack penetrated their leather armors.
“Fall back, men!!”
When they jumped backward in response to the command from behind, they saw Wallace who was readying to draw his sword.
“Flash!!”
With a quick step, he simultaneously drew his blade and unleashed a side-sweeping flash attack, flinging away the goblins’ swords and slashing their bellies horizontally.
“Gyah!? Gi, ia…ah.”
“Gugeah! Guuu… gubuh…”
The goblins squatted down while holding onto their abdomens as their blood and guts spilled out of their wounds and they died lying in a pool of their own blood.
“Gia, gueh!!” (Im…possible…!!)
Rock, the Goblin Sorcerer, could not hide his agitation at the sight of his fallen brethren. They had kept vigilance for surprise attacks when they stayed the night at Lucua village yesterday, but they were caught off-guard when they expected nothing to happen.
They figured that if there was an ambush, then it would be at the time when they were tired and the enemy had the most advantage, that was why they had even made preparations to use the captured cat women as hostages last night…
While he was thinking of such things, a cat person’s blade loomed over him!
“Uraaaaaaah!”
“Giuuh!”
The goblin sorcerer immediately held out his hand and gathered his wind-type magic to form a wind blade.
“Zenosuh, ireusu.” (O wind, tear them to pieces.)
“Guuh!?…… Gahah.”
The cat kin warrior who attacked Rock was unable to avoid the wind blades and was slashed in the abdomen, spraying blood all over the place as he collapsed… but impatience and fear were written all over the goblin who took his attacker’s life.
In the first place, he was guaranteed a certain death if he stepped into close combat range against the warriors. Looking around he saw that most of the troops he was leading were either dead or currently engaged in battle.
(This is bad, we have to retreat to Brave’s side as soon as possible!!)
(…)
But that order had come too late. Dagger, who had not appeared in battle, had hidden herself in the treetops and gradually gotten close to the sorcerer. Holding her daggers in an underhand and overhand grip respectively, she attacked from above.
“Guruaoooooon!!” (Dieeeeeee!!)
“!? Gah….nnghk, gii.” (!? Nggah…n-no way)
Reacting to the sudden sound, the Goblin Sorcerer looked up and was stabbed between the eyes with the stiletto, while the other dagger slit his throat.
“Hyu… hih…”
His life ended in regret as the sound of leaking air came out from him. Having finished off the troublesome goblin, Dagger kicked off the corpse as she retrieved her blade which was stuck between the goblin’s eyes.
“Guangiah!? Gyaouh!!” (Lord Rock!? Dammit!!)
Before she could catch her breath, a Goblin Fighter aimed at her from a nearby and unleashed a thrust with his longsword with the blade cutting at her horizontally. But because he was upset, the attack was released too early and did not reach.
“Ukyann!? Gaonn!!” (Uhyan!? You s**t!!)
Dagger lightly sidestepped and avoided the sword thrust, and before the goblin warrior could pull back his arm, she drew close to his chest and used her body weight to put force as she thrust her stiletto into his heart.
“Gubuah, gah…ahh…”
The goblin warrior, who was fatally wounded by the blow that penetrated his armor, vomited blood and lost his grip on the longsword he was holding as he sank to the ground.
At that moment, Dagger’s consciousness climbed the Ultimate Spiral Staircase in the middle of the hectic battle without anyone, including her, noticing. The shape of her ears changed slightly, while the fur on her tail became even fluffier and was imbued with magic. Furthermore, the fur on the tips of her limbs also turned white, contrasting with the golden-colored fur on her body…
