Chapter 870 - 870 Been a While Since Thugs Picked a Fight with Me
870 Been a While Since Thugs Picked a Fight with Me
Being bothered by some thugs, huh? It has been a while since that happened. Though this time, I chose to ignore them and leave to do my job. A request from the guild. Goblin subjugation request.
Seems like there are way too many goblins near this city. And the most annoying thing is that there’s one clan in control over the city. But the Guild Master is a decent mage, so they don’t have the power to pick a fight against the guild.
Is this clan related to the cult? I don’t know. But the possibility is not zero.
Hunters are usually the most unruly and rude group of people. At least those I have met often in my past life. So if they act rude all the time, no one will ever think that they are actually part of the cult. Because people would just think that it’s them, so it’s normal.
“Yup. Maybe I will ask the kings to send agents to be hunters and investigate clans. Especially suspicious clans. Or even top clans,” I said to myself.
“You said that because of the people following you, right?” Vitoria asked.
“Ignore them. Unless they tried to kill me. Though any attempt to kill me will be useless,” I replied.
Right now, I’m in the forest near the city where I took the request. I’m going to hunt some goblins who have been causing trouble to the nearby villages.
I will mark the city in the map I have and tell it to the kings to investigate. Though I believe that there are already agents investigating the city.
.....
If they let that dangerous clan be, does it mean that they are not really dangerous? Or that they have no time to spare with the clan?
Maybe they let them be because if the cult is trying to make a contact with someone in the city, they would make a contact with that clan. So the agents are just waiting until someone come and they will make their move soon after.
Whatever. Let’s just focus on hunting some goblins.
“Roy! I found some goblins over there! And over there! There are three nests of goblins nearby!” Breezy said.
“Three of them? That’s quite a lot. Thanks for telling, Breezy. You’re amazing,” I praised the wind spirit.
He has been taking requests with Kron a lot, so he is experienced with it.
And he would usually be the scout. So when Kron is fighting some monsters, Breezy would scout the nearby area and tell Kron about other monsters nearby.
And that’s what he’s doing now. Though when he told me nearby, I didn’t expect it to be so far. I think that’s because Kron is a wind mage and can fly, so he can easily get to where Breezy was scouting before.
Though for me now, I can also move fast. But I didn’t have Ray with me now. I left him alone in the stable in the city. Disguised as a normal horse.
I left him be because I don’t want these people following me to think that Ray is a monster. Though if they make their move, it will be me whom they thought as a monster.
For now, I’m just a summoner with a Black Slime as my familiar. It will be suspicious if someone learned that I have more than one familiar. Pear-y Fruit hasn’t gone public yet.
So if they make their move, I will only fight them with Victoria and my air magic. That’s what I will do. And that’s the case with the goblins I will subjugate.
...Sorry, I was wrong. I don’t even need air magic or Victoria to defeat them. But it might be interesting if I show them that I’m a master level summoner. Though I can’t tell them that I can use portals.
With Shirley publicly known as a master level mage now, expert level mages shouldn’t be that rare now. It’s still not common, but it shouldn’t be that rare. Unless they are too lazy in their cultivation.
And it’s not impossible that there are many people who have reached master level. So if I show my power to them, it won’t be too suspicious.
It’s already well-known that the higher a mage’s level, the stronger their body became. So if I keep kicking goblins until they’re death, I’m sure that no one will bother me again.
Well, I was wrong. After killing all the goblins in one nest, those thugs from before surround me. There are about twenty of them.
“Hehehe, you are surrounded now,” the thug who punched the back of my head before said.
“Hehehe, do you know that most people who laughed that way before they speak, they have a high chance to be a mob and not worth talking to?” I provoked him.
“Are you making fun of me? Just so you know, defeating some goblins without using magic is something that anyone can do. You are surrounded. And for humiliating me, I will kill you!” he said.
“Did you forget that you humiliate yourself? I didn’t do anything. You’re the one trying to hit me. You must be an idiot. Playing with other idiots. And making a group called happy idiots. Then you got provoked because you’re an idiot. Then you will all die because you’re all idiots,” I provoked them again.
Wow, look at how easy it is for me to provoke everyone. They’re thugs. With a lot of pride and non-existent ability other than acting tough.
If it’s acting tough, anyone can do that. Even me. Especially me.
“Kill him!”
There are twenty idiots. Surrounding one person. And those twenty idiots cast magic at the same time. Not to the ground I’m standing, but they are either aiming for my body. Straight to my chest.
...Which means that I only need to jump to dodge them, and the magic will continue until they hit each other.
Well, some didn’t hit other mages. Because when some magic hit other magic, the stronger magic will devour the weaker magic and continue forward.
With this, I already eliminated half of the idiots. All I did was jumping though.
“Well, are you still going to fight me when all your intellect combined will not even be half as smart as I am?” I asked.
“Kill him!”
See? He doesn’t even have the vocabulary enough to say other things. Just kill and kill. Should I just kill them then?
I just casually punched a rock near my feet, and grabbed the pieces of small rocks. Then I threw them up in the air, and use air magic to explode them to different direction.
The rocks flew all over the places and hitting them all. Some died right away because the rocks pierced through their head or their heart, and some were lucky to still be alive. Including the man who picked a fight with me.
“Are we done here? Because I don’t mind to kill the rest of you if you want to continue,” I said.
“Hi-HIIEEEEK!!!”
Just like that, those who are still alive escaped. While limping because I made holes in their legs. Leaving behind the corpses of their friends.
“To leave behind their friends... how cruel of them,” I said.
“And you think killing them is not cruel? What should we do next?” Victoria asked.
“Well, there are two other goblin nests nearby. Let’s destroy them and kill all the goblins,” I said.
And so, we finished the quest easily. Even though it’s quite far from the city. Though this is quite normal if there’s a wind mage here.
I put all the proofs of subjugation somewhere, and when I’m close to the city, I opened a portal there and put them all inside a huge sack. Carrying them to the guild and gave them to the receptionist.
“I found three goblin nests and destroyed them all. I also had some hunters trying to pick a fight against me so I killed them. Here are their cards,” I said as I gave them the cards of the hunters whom I killed today.
“So many goblins! Where did you find them? We didn’t hear any report of other goblin nests!” the receptionist asked.
“I think it’s closer to other cities than here. Well, where’s my reward?”
Though I don’t need money, it is quite satisfying to be rewarded after a minor job. Though for other people, killing goblins and destroying their nest doesn’t seem to be anything minor.
Seems like I caused some problem killing some Hunters. But the guild doesn’t mind it. It’s just that the clan they belong to were furious.
No one told me. But I can see their movement with my Divine Vision. I think they will watch me before they do anything to me.
“Excuse me, can I meet the guild master?” I asked the receptionist.
If there’s someone trying to pick a fight with me, it’s best to ask someone with authority if I’m allowed to kill them or not. Then, everything will be simple.
With how much problem they have caused in this city and to rookie Hunters, I’m sure the guild master will be supportive in me eradicating that clan.
If not, well, I’ll just wait until they attack me first. Then it will become self-defense. Simple!
