Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 14: Defeating Hobgoblin

Irena stepped forward with a sword directed at Hobgoblin who had mounted her horses with her own greatsword.

The two swords colliding produced a deafening thump. The protectors used by Hobgoblins could not fend off a direct attack because that was why the equipment was not something that was difficult to deal with.

Winy who appeared from behind Irena ran to the side of Hobgoblin, she used her sword to search for a gap unfortunately Hobgoblin was not an ordinary monster. He jumped backwards avoiding the two but at the same time Angel sent out several arrows to target Hobgoblin but he deflected them all easily.

"Impossible?"

Eva has a comment.

"This monster reads our movements."

"It's a hassle."

Irena and Winy attack him.

Derrun.... Derrun.... Thumped.

his power is above both.

Hobgoblins flew Winy to the side and at the same time attacked Irena from the top slash.

The sword is held back but Hobgoblin kicks Irena's body through three buildings before running towards Angel and Eva.

Winy was not so relaxed as to leave it at once, he appeared in front of her while crossing swords in a defensive position as if holding a bull's lunge.

"I won't let it" he shouted and Hobgoblin shouted back.

Two Angel arrows slipped from Winy's armpits and perfectly hit Hobgoblin's body until she retreated. At the same time Irena had appeared from behind.

Swung his sword and it managed to destroy his protective bracelet.

"Now Winy."

"Give it to me."

Winy poured fire into his sword form and when released the goblin's body exploded violently.

The fight ended without serious injuries to anyone. When they returned they earned their hunting wages before sitting together at the bar.

Ordering one beer and what kind of heavy food they needed after completing the mission, Irena asked Mary who had just pinned a new quest on the notice board.

"Grey didn't come to the guild?"

"He's getting lazy."

"Not really, actually the entire volunteer quest has been completed by him."

"That guy, if there's a volunteer quest I'd like to take some too."

"I see, we'd be happy if your group helped, too."

Winy hugged Irena's neck while laughing.

"Quest volunteers are nothing. We will also work hard to protect this city, if a wave appears we will sweep it haha."

"He seemed to be drinking too much" said Angel, who helped Eva pull him back to her seat.

"I'm sorry then."

The more volunteer quests completed, the more difficult people who will be helped and the name of the guild will be better in the future so that the Neira kingdom can send more allowances at the Risol border as a bonus.

Adventurers were not only considered capable of protecting the city, they would also be considered as a person capable of helping its inhabitants at the border.

Mary was secretly very grateful to the figure of Grey who had long continued to do so.

Meanwhile, the person in question is busy preparing dinner. The person who looked very waiting was none other than Anabeth who touched her face on the table.

"Is it not finished yet?"

"A little while."

Their daily life was very relaxed and the next day Grey stood at the door, outside while Anabeth was inside, both of them staring at each other from the open door.

Anabeth took a deep breath and took one leg out of the house, and she had not done this for a long time.

Sunlight doused his body with a bright sparkle of color mixed with the sound of the birds flying freely there.

Grey reached out his hand which was taken well by Anabeth.

"Don't worry, if you can't control yourself then I'll help you and wake you up."

Anabeth nodded.

Although the words were simple but for Anabeth it was a very meaningful thing for her.
