In the end, William relented and took the lead. After walking for a few minutes, the boy saw a group of Hobgoblins who were also looking towards them.
William frowned as he looked at the new monsters among their ranks. He immediately used his Appraisal Skills to look at his information
__
< Shaman Hobgoblin >
— Goblins with an interest in using magic and have evolved into Hobgoblin Shamans.
— Specialization in the use of Dark and Elemental Magic.
— This monster is stronger than the Hobgoblin Leader in one rank
__
William's expression immediately became serious. 'One Rank higher than the Hobgoblin Leader?'
The Hobgoblin Leader was the Boss of the Ten Floor. Although Ella was able to fight him one on one, it was still the boss monster.
The young shepherd knew that the Hobgoblin Shaman was a threat at the Monster Boss Level. However, she reasoned that her Mama Ella was also very strong now. After a brief internal struggle, William decided to give it a try.
He came down from Ella and stood at the back.
“Mama Ella, I will hand over the Hobgoblin Shaman to you,” William said.
“Meeeeh!”
"Aslan, Chronos, we'll use the same strategy!"
""Meeeeeeh!""
William held the staff in his hand firmly and used the Bestow and Ice Armor on everyone, including himself.
(PS: Bestow didn't work on William. Just Ice Armor)
"Go! Quick attack!" William commanded.
The goats turned into white smoke as they attacked their respective targets. The Hobgoblin shaman was unaffected when he saw the invading War ibex in front of him. He pointed his wrinkled finger at Ella as he chanted a spell in his mother tongue.
“Zak Ruta!”
A red light shot out from her finger and hit Ella's forehead. The Angorian War Ibex immediately stopped its attacks and thrashed like a mad bull in a rodeo competition. Ella's wild attack accidentally hits Chronos, causing the goat to slam into the wall.
Clumps of red aura surrounded Ella's body and forced her into a rampage. He could no longer identify friends or enemies and attack nearby creatures.
Aslan ordered his team to retreat, but it was too late. The Hobgoblins joined the fight and swung their wooden sticks towards the goats mercilessly. The archers fired arrows, for the sake of arrows, which pierced through the bodies of Echo, Flynn, Griffin, Hades, Io, making them scream in pain.
“Tidaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!” William roared as he erected the Ice Wall to separate the Hobgoblins and their herds.
“Rakas zhak tu!” The Hobgoblin leader pointed at William and a ball of black light shot out from his fingertips.
William's vision soon darkens when the "Blind Spell" of the Hobgoblin Shaman lands on him. He was too focused on Hobgoblins attacking his herd that he did not see the Shaman cast a spell on him.
Black smoke came out of William's eyes. He could not see anything, but the darkness could not stop him from hearing the sound of goats bleating. Obviously, they were seriously injured, maybe even dying.
"Ring of Conquest!" William activates the ring to get them all out of the dungeon by force. Before the light enveloped William and the goat, an arrow pierced his right chest.
The darkness had increased his sensitivity and the stinging pain, making his body go into shock. Hobgoblins are also not idle. Several balls of different colors struck William's body as the Hobgoblin Shaman fired a barrage of spells. It had recognized the boy as the current supreme threat and decided to finish him off.
William's body helplessly fell to the ground and stopped moving. A few seconds later, he, and his other flock, disappeared from the Goblin Crypt.

James was meditating outside the goat pen. It was his habit to wait for his grandson to return from the dungeon every night. When she heard Ella bleating inside the goat pen, she realized that something was very wrong.
The old man punched the locked door and entered into the warehouse. The smell of blood reached his nose and it made him anxious. There, in a corner, William lay on the ground with an arrow sticking out of his chest.
Ella bleated and nudged the boy's head to wake him up. The effects of the Berserk Spell had faded at the same time as they were ejected from the dungeon. Upon seeing William's current state, Ella panicked and immediately shouted for help.
He knows that James is outside the warehouse and only he can help William in times of need.
A puff of black smoke shot out from William's eyes and made James' chest tight. He was very familiar with this spell because he had experienced it directly on the battlefield.
The other goats were lying on the ground. Their white fur was covered in blood and some internal injuries showed bones on their bodies. The corners of their lips were bleeding, and some of them were in a near-death condition.
“William!” James roared as he rushed towards his fallen grandson. He checked her condition and was about to take her to Owen when the boy opened his eyes.
"They're fine" James lied. "Did it hurt? Don'worry. I'll take you to Owen. He'll heal you. ”
“T-No.” William against. “I P-need to save them first. Or they'll die. I can't let them die. My fault. My fault."
Williams' tears flowed down the side of her face. His vision was covered in darkness, and needed someone to guide him to help him care for his flock. He was injured, but the pain of losing his goat was more painful.
“T-Please, Grandpa. L-Let me treat them.”
"Alright, James answered."
James had no choice but to approve William's plea. He took William and approached the goat called William, Chronos.
'S-System, t-help me.'
< Anything I can help you with? >
', P-First Aid.'
< Understood. >
< Hosts have learned skills: Bulk First Aid >
William did not have time to heal the goats one by one. He knew that time was running out and he could only beg the system to help him. Fortunately, the system accommodated his demand and created the skills he needed.
__
< Bulk First Aid >
(250 Points Mana)
— Heals twenty hit points from each member of the herd.
— Only work for creatures included in the herd.
— These skills cannot be improved.
__
James guided his grandson's hand and placed it over Chronos' head. The boy wasted no more time and used the "Mass First Aid" skill repeatedly. The entire warehouse was covered with green light. William continued to use the skill until he exhausted his magic power.
After the last point of William's magic power was drained from his body, William finally lost consciousness.
James darted out of the barn as soon as he saw his grandson pass out. He headed straight for the only Life Magus in Lont City. Ella felt hot on her tail as she ran behind the old man. He is still on the Ibex War Form which allows him to follow James's rapid movements.
“Owen!!" James kicked the door of Owen's house without caring whether others would get angry or not. The broken wooden door made pieces of wood fly in all directions.
"You motherfucker! What are you doing ?! ” Owen roared as he dashed down the stairs.
He was sleeping peacefully with his wife a few minutes ago when he heard a loud noise from their front door being torn apart. The first thing he saw was James holding William.
There was an arrow sticking out of the boy's chest and a wisp of black smoke rising from his closed eyes.
Owen's angry expression immediately became grim as he understood the situation.
"Lay him" Owen commanded. "Don't say anything until I'm done healing her, do you understand?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"I just said that you're not allowed to say anything!"
James wanted to slap the old man for being absurd, knowing that now was not the time to argue. William's safety was his priority, so he kept his mouth shut and watched as Owen used Life Magic on his granddaughter.
Owen firmly held the arrow sticking out of the boy's chest and pulled it out in one attempt. He immediately applied healing magic to seal his wound. Afterwards, he used the Diagnostic Spell to scan William's entire body.
“Dark Magic, Blind, Poison, and Corrosion!” Owen hissing. "Shoppers! Who is the Black Witch who dared to injure this little boy? Does he have no shame ?! ”
Owen's confused. This kind of spell was not something that ordinary magicians could do. Only the Black Mages in the Fourth Circle were capable of using this level of Dark Arts.
Although there was a Dark Witch in Lont City, that person would never hurt anyone in the city. Owen knew that this was the work of someone outside their circle.
For now, he pushed those thoughts far and wide, and busied himself in removing the curse on William's body.
