These were goblins that only existed in legends, their strength far surpassing that of these high-ranking noble mercenaries, instilling fear in all who heard of them.

 

Even in the Nas Duchy, once the trace of Black Rampage Goblins was found, large armies would immediately be dispatched to hunt them down.

 

The ranks of these two goblin races had already exceeded their original level, reaching the same level as those rare and noble humanoid races.

 

Their lifespan was much longer than that of humans.

 

“I’ll tell you the truth. The king has already been born, somewhere in this world.”

 

The Red Devil Goblin suddenly said fervently, “It is thanks to the blessing from the king from afar that I have gained even greater vitality.”

 

As the Red Devil Goblin spoke, it slowly turned the leader of the wolf pack around to gaze at the nearby old man, its lips splitting open like a demon’s, tempting him:

 

“I can continuously share my vitality with you. You will have a longer life, you will grow younger, you will be able to do more things. The only condition is that you must work for us.”

 

Miser trembled in his pupils, but remained unfazed: “As long as we capture you and obtain your body, your vitality will still be ours.”

 

“You won’t be able to.”

 

The Red Devil Goblin smirked, saying, “You can’t defeat me. And if you let more people come to capture me, how much of my life essence will you get then?”

 

After saying this, stirring waves in the heart of the assassin Miser, the Red Devil Goblin rode off on the leader of the wolf pack without looking back, leaving only one last sentence.

 

“Kill that man to prove your sincerity. Then, you will get what you want.”

 

Chapter 32: The Goblin Wife Was Finally Caught

 

“Where did you go, Miser?”

 

Naga, deeply disliking her companion who was carefree and suddenly disappeared, asked from the bottom of her heart.

 

Kemon yawned. There were fewer goblins here, and he wasn’t enjoying killing them, so he just stood by and watched his wife scold people.

 

He wasn’t the kind of old good guy who would always step forward to mediate. At first, he just gave others some face.

 

Miser couldn’t help but smile. His face was full of an amiable and kind expression, saying, “Oh, young people, can’t you show some respect for an old man like me who has trouble moving around?”

 

But Naga’s tone showed no signs of lightening up.

 

“Respect should be given to those who are respectable, not to assassins like you who are notorious for killing. Respect for people is not so cheap.”

 

“Alright, alright, young people nowadays only know how to make things difficult for old folks like me.” Miser couldn’t help but sigh.

 

Miser and Kemon went together, killing the goblins they encountered on the road step by step as they walked deeper into the central area.

 

It was easy to exterminate goblins. Kill all the advanced goblins in the lair, then kill all the ordinary goblins you can see, and throw the bodies into the territory of the savage beasts in the Misty Forest.

 

In no time, the goblins surviving here would be killed by the invading savage beasts, and even the last bit of living space would be squeezed out.

 

Their actions would probably only need to continue for a few days.

 

“Let’s go, don’t give the advanced goblins a chance to escape. Let’s wipe them all out in one go.”

 

Kemon laughed heartily as he slaughtered goblins, his bloodlust and momentum constantly rising in battle.

 

Behind him, Naga, the priest, continued to cast various support magic on him, increasing his attack power, resistance to attacks, magic resistance, while also restoring his vitality and stamina.

 

Naga also released a water shield around herself to guard against incoming dark arrows and attacks from behind.

 

Although Kemon seemed to be fighting vigorously in front, he still had some energy left to deal with quite a few sudden situations.

 

And Miser moved around, clearing out any goblins that slipped through the cracks.

 

The three of them continued to advance, getting closer and closer to a plantation established by the goblins’ lair.

 

The invaders obviously left no room for the goblins to escape.

 

“Miser, you go find the exact location of the goblin lair. We’ll draw their attention.”

 

Kemon, with his bold demeanor, chopped down trees along the way, causing quite a stir.

 

“Okay.”

 

Just as Miser agreed and was about to go search, numerous goblins surged ahead.

 

Not only ahead, but also from the left and right, many goblin figures were closing in.

 

“Hey, they finally decided to come out. Watch us wipe them out without leaving a single one.”

 

Kemon’s eyes turned red with excitement, but the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

 

Ahead, a sturdy Red Devil Goblin rode a mid-level wild forest wolf beast, wielding weapons, leading four White Ghost Goblins and dozens of goblin archers and warriors towards them.

 

On both sides, there were three Purple Demon Goblins, each leading three White Ghost Goblins and several dozen goblin fighters, closing in on them.

 

A Red Devil Goblin riding a mid-level beast, over a dozen high-level goblins, and hundreds of goblin archers and warriors—this goblin army’s strength clearly exceeded theirs.

 

This was different from their previous estimates.

 

Count Earl Rogerson’s army had already flattened the outside once. How could there still be so many goblins?

 

This Red Devil Goblin didn’t even seem to have fully grown yet, so how could it have given birth to so many Purple Demon Goblins and White Ghost Goblins?

 

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll handle this!”

 

Naga also noticed that the situation was not good. The situation was quite difficult for Kemon, and even with Miser, they were not enough to deal with such a powerful group of goblins.

 

Among the three of them, only Miser could escape unharmed; the other two would sustain considerable injuries if they attempted to flee.

 

Being driven away by goblins was a huge disgrace for their noble sage race. Returning like this would only further tarnish their reputation.

 

So, she decided to make a big move!

 

“Protect me, I’ll eliminate them.”

 

Naga dispelled the water shield around her and raised her magic staff, gathering magical power to chant an area-of-effect attack spell.

 

“Got it.”

 

Kemon stepped back and stood in front of Naga.

 

“These goblins don’t look good.”

 

Miser also arrived behind the two, his expression grave.

 

“Hey, old man, just watch. My wife’s Erosion Mist magic has a depth of 5. It can easily cause heavy losses to them. Although we may not be able to kill them all, we can still escape. When we go back, we can bring a few more people to finish off these goblins.

 

The body of this Red Devil Goblin is valuable, it’s an unexpected windfall.”

 

“Oh! I’ve heard about the female mercenaries from our Mercenary Guild, the ‘Life Fairies.’ Not only is their innate skill ‘Life Sublimation’ an unparalleled support ability, but this Erosion Mist is also unstoppable. I, an old man like myself, really want to see it in action.”

 

While Miser praised enthusiastically, he remained vigilant of the goblins constantly approaching from all sides.

 

The goblins also sensed the commotion, and four (elemental) goblin shamans on both sides simultaneously began chanting, preparing to counter Naga’s magic.

 

The White Ghost Goblins also raised their wooden shields, preparing to forcefully resist Naga’s attack.

 

The Red Devil Goblin, riding the wolf pack leader, also pressed closer step by step.

 

At the same time, the wolf pack lurking in position behind the three of them began to stir.

 

Once the battle started, there would be no mercy!

 

Powerful magic continuously gathered in the hands of Naga, hailed as the “Life Fairy,” the first beauty of the Nas Duchy’s noble mercenary guild, gradually bursting out into a terrifying force and condensing into mist.

 

Her magic was about to take shape.

 

“Goblins, atone for your sins!”

 

Naga finished chanting, raised her magic staff high, and the magic rapidly changed.

 

In the next moment,

 

With a light snap,

 

The magic power condensed in her hand exploded, and the magic that was about to be ready instantly dissipated. The powerful magic swept around, and the counterflowing magic rushed into her body, causing her to cough up blood.

 

Just as Kemon and Naga were bewildered, Miser, standing behind Naga, had already pierced her neck with poison needles. Bit by bit, black water entered her body, instantly disrupting the magic inside her.

 

“Old man, what are you doing!?”

 

Kemon exclaimed in shock and horror. In the face of the enemy, their companion actually attacked his wife!

 

“Kemon, don’t act recklessly. Your wife is in my hands now.”

 

Miser’s kindly face revealed a fierce look.

 

The sudden change frightened Naga to the extreme. It was at this moment that she suddenly realized that the attacks from those goblin shamans had not stopped. On the contrary, taking advantage of Kemon’s distraction, they released magical attacks towards him.

 

“Behind you!”

 

She had just screamed to warn, but the next moment, Kemon, caught off guard, was engulfed by those magical attacks.

 

Several elemental magic orbs ravaged past, and when the magic dissipated, the person lying on the ground was barely breathing.

 

“Let… let her go, you bastard!”

 

Kemon, seriously injured, roared in anger.

 

At this moment, the goblins had also approached.

 

The Red Devil Goblin, riding on the wolf pack leader, looked at the woman held hostage by Miser, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of its mouth.

 

This slight smile made Naga understand everything in an instant, and a tear fell from her eyes.

 

“Bastard, Miser, how could you betray us? Why? They’re just ugly, disgusting goblins!”

 

Naga questioned Miser.

 

The Red Devil Goblin Knight and Miser paid no attention to the fragile priest’s words.

 

Red Devil Goblin Knight: “Take the woman, deal with the man.”

 

“And what about the goods?” Miser remained vigilant.

 

He dared to cooperate because the goblins couldn’t escape. If the cooperation failed, he could blame it all on the goblins and let more people come to attack them.

 

The Red Devil Goblin didn’t waste words and threw out a pill.

 

The moment the pill appeared, all the surrounding goblins became eager, because it was a treasure made by their Majesty with their own discarded skin and fallen hair.

 

Although it was something their Majesty didn’t want, it was still an invaluable treasure to them.

 

“This secret medicine can increase your lifespan by three months. Come to collect it every month. Let’s have a pleasant cooperation.”

 

Miser hurriedly took the pill and rushed to find an alchemist for identification, leaving Naga behind and taking the unconscious Kemon with him.

 

Before leaving, facing Naga’s hateful gaze, Miser said, “Little one, don’t blame this old man for being ruthless. After all, none of us are being kind to each other.”

 

With that, he left, leaving behind Naga, a helpless woman, and a large group of goblins with sinister smiles.

 

The scene couldn’t be more picturesque.

 

Chapter Thirty-Three: Cataclysm Codex Boss

 

With the item in hand, Miser, naturally suspicious, immediately found an alchemist to identify the pill.

 

The alchemist used precise instruments for identification and was ultimately surprised, nodding in approval.

 

“Good stuff. It contains the essence of some creature, mixed with the residue of low-grade life-enhancing herbs for neutralization. Although the combination is somewhat peculiar, its effects are obvious. It can enhance a person’s physique and increase their lifespan, probably by about three months.”

 

Lifespan medicine was also extremely precious in this world.

 

With the identification results settled, Miser took back his pill, feeling relieved.

 

Returning to a secluded corner where Kemon was being held captive, Miser looked at the barely conscious Kemon, who still glared at him with hatred. A kind smile appeared on Miser’s old face, and he whispered softly in Kemon’s ear:

 

“You have a wonderful wife, but now, she belongs to the goblins. Just imagine that scene, how beautiful it is.”

 

Kemon glared angrily, but once again, he passed out, perhaps unable to accept such a spectacular sight.
