"Hoh." Ambrose smiled at the sight of that. "Now I have another reason to exterminate these creatures off the face of the planet."
"Saa Blub Koh!" The Goblin Elder tapped the ground three times with the cane.
A blinding light engulfed the area, illuminating the malicious faces of the goblins.
The spell increased the defense and attacking capabilities of all hundred goblins.
"See, human?" The Goblin Elder showed proudly the might of its army. "We already defeated you all, and there were hundreds of you, humans. You are alone. What can you possibly do against us?"
The Goblin Elder sneered, confident in the overwhelming strength and attacking capabilities of its goblins.
"We\'ll see." Ambrose walked over the goblin corpse and pulled out his Black Blade from its skull.
He then wiped the blood off the blade with his sleeve.
\'The confidence will only reach so far.\' He thought. \'The soul scanned enough of the area for me to commence a sneak attack that successfully killed many goblins, but not as many as I would have wanted.\'
However, it was a small victory on the scale of things.
After clearing the sword from the blood, he looked at his reflection and smiled.
\'At least I managed to rescue her. If I die, that is too bad since I will fail the quest. But I have succeeded in completing my promise with Emma; that is good enough.\'
Ambrose, wielding only one sword, turned towards the Goblin Elder and the goblin army.
He raised the sword, the curved edge of the blade pointing at the Goblin Elder\'s ugly face.
"However, I will make sure that you die!"
"Zahahaha!" The Goblin Elder laughed, its saliva flying all over the place. "Attack, my army!"
"Guraaah!" The goblins screamed and charged with powerful might towards Ambrose, ready to tear him apart.
Ambrose grinned and sprang forth.
As his muscles on his right arm swelled with adrenaline, he swung his black sword, slicing through the goblins\' ranks with ease.
As his experience bar continued rising with each enemy defeated, he could feel his power growing exponentially.
With each swing of his sword, another goblin fell before him, their bodies dropping to the ground in a lifeless heap.
"Haaa!"
With a mighty shout, the black blade shredded through the goblins.
...
Outside the sewer system, Bella and the rest of the prisoners entered the open air, finally smelling something other than the disgusting sewer stench.
However, the air outside was heavy with moisture and smoke, but it smelled a thousand times better than inside the sewers.
"Sob, sob, we survived!" They cheered loudly, some even falling to their knees.
"Everyone!" Bella shouted, attracting their attention. "We are still not safe. We have to leave Yatagarasu!"
Realizing that there might be more goblins roaming the streets, they wiped their tears and nodded.
As they began discussing the safe route out of the Yatagarasu, Bella turned towards the entrance of the sewer, desiring to go there and help him.
"Are you close to him?" The tired-looking woman came over to Bella.
"He is the brother of someone special to me." Bella said with a dreaming look.
"He saved you for a reason." The woman tapped her slender shoulder. "Don\'t think about anything reckless."
"I know..." Bella replied, her voice trailing off.
"We should leave now. More goblins might be heading this way if they heard the loud noise." The woman said with a smile.
"You\'re right." Bella nodded and looked away from the sewer, then followed behind the others as they began their way out of Yatagarasu.
...
"Kill him!" The Goblin Elder screeched, but no matter what spell it used to help its army, they fell under the young man\'s blood-soaked blade.
Realizing the direness of the situation, the Goblin Elder raised its cane and summoned a powerful rock golem from the fallen debris.
The rock golem towered over all the small goblins, even making Ambrose feel as small as an ant.
It clenched its fist and threw it down like a meteor.
Ambrose sprang into the air, jumping over the enormous golem.
As the golem\'s fist landed on the ground, several goblins got crushed, and a small crater appeared around the fist.
Ambrose raised his sword, his muscles swelling, and the blood vessels danced around his biceps like a network of fiery veins.
"Slash of the Three Worlds!"
Swoosh—the blade cut through the rock golem as if it were made of poorly-made pottery.
With that single sword slash, the golem disintegrated into a pile of dust.
"W-what is that sword made of?" The Goblin Elder flinched in horror after seeing its strongest summon get defeated so easily.
Ambrose landed on the ground and delivered a crescent-shaped sword slash at the nearby goblins, slicing them in half neatly.
His experience bar continued rising while the number of goblins continued to drop.
The less intelligent goblins didn\'t sense the danger and rushed forward with their mighty numbers, but when they got close enough, Ambrose finished them off cleanly.
He then turned around, shared glances with the Goblin Elder and launched towards it.
"Defend me!" The Goblin Elder cast a mind-controlling spell and made the less intelligent goblins form a meat shield in front of it.
The mind-controlling skill only worked with the less intelligent ones, which was one of the main reasons the Goblin Elder kept them around.
They were easily manipulated and served as a useful tool for its purposes.
"They won\'t protect you!" Ambrose slashed through the meat shields, but then came face-to-face with a hidden goblin that had been hiding behind the meat shield.
"No, but he will." The Goblin Elder laughed.
"Die, filthy human!" The hidden goblin launched forward and smashed its mace into Ambrose\'s head, sending him flying across the chamber with a bloodied face.
"Kahahaha!" The goblin laughed.
It was the Goblin Captain, one of the most intelligent goblins beside the Elder.
It was also the one who captured Bella outside the Whispering Pages, and the one who tied her to the bonfire and ignited it.
If the Goblin Elder was the main reason for Yatagarasu\'s current situation, the Goblin Captain was the reason for Bella\'s suffering.
"Kahahaha, filthy humans!" The Goblin Captain smashed its mace against his palm. "You all shall di—"
Spurt—blood sprayed everywhere as the Goblin Captain\'s head got cleanly cut in half.
"Shut up." Ambrose said coldly, his blade soaked with the Goblin Captain\'s blood.
The attack was so quick that even the Goblin Elder was not prepared for it!
\'How did he stand up so quickly even though he got hit in the head?\' The Goblin Elder gulped. \'Human bodies are weak. His head should\'ve split in half!\'
"Ugh." Ambrose touched his forehead and wiped away the small drop of blood.
"O-only a drop of blood?" The Goblin Elder felt its old, aging bones shake beneath it.
It couldn\'t comprehend how a human could withstand such a blow.
Without even knowing it, after reaching the hundred stat in Vitality, Ambrose\'s body had become incredibly resilient to all damage.
"That was not nice." He wiped off the blood from his hand and pointed his sword at the pale-faced Goblin Elder. "You are next."
"Ngh!" The Goblin Elder flinched back. "E-everyone, attack him, kill him!"
