The Legendary Spearman's
CHAPTER IV Desire
"really? Is this just the Goblin's ability? Disappointingly," when a man clasped a Goblin's head, he dropped it.
"It's still even weaker than the Goblin Game I used to play," the man continued before stepping on the Goblin's head earlier and smashing it.
The man put on his hood again and continued on his way to a village where the Goblin King was located. Leaving thousands of shattered Goblin bodies there.
***
"Any?" confused Yuno who was currently cooking.
"What's so weird?" ask Mike who appeared next to him.
"Aren't you aware? It should have been past the time where they came and attacked us for the next wave. But there was no news at all from the reconnaissance team," Yuno explained.
"If you think about it, that's right" said Aegis who was sitting and eating her breakfast.
Right, after the second wave is over. Everyone was looking forward to the next wave that might come. But after waiting until morning, there was no sign of movement from within the forest. It was as if something had happened there without their knowledge.
"Yuno! You hear me?" call someone who calls through Private Voice.
"This voice, Dahlia? What's up?" yuno asked confusedly.
"Look, I'm on a scout team that's into the woods. Then to make sure it's even better, I parted ways with them and checked deeper and you know what I found?" dahlia.
Yuno who heard the explanation from Dahlia, opened her eyes wide. Then after their conversation ended. Yuno stopped her cooking action and took out a spear in her Inventory.
"QUICKLY PULL YOUR SCOUTING TEAM BACK!!" yuno shouted which surprised everyone.
"Yuno! I just received information from Daisy. Is that the same as what you received?" tanya Silver approached.
"Is Daisy with him?" yuno asked back.
Silver simply nodded without explaining anything. Mike just wanted to ask, but before he did. Yuno asks Party Mike and Aegis to get ready to go follow her into the forest. Leaving many players confused who immediately asked their members on the scouting team to retreat.
***
"Eh?! Thousands of Goblin bodies you say? Yuno, you're not kidding me, are you?" ask Mike.
"Is this situation a joke to you?" reply Yuno.
Mike was silent after hearing the reply. He did not expect Yuno would be that serious in responding to his question. Meanwhile Shiina who heard that Yuno got this information from Dahlia, made a sullen face that the older brother realized.
"Shiina, can you not mix this with your personal affairs? The reason why our Party was chosen is because we were needed" explained Aegis in Party Voice.
"I know!" shiina Sahut.
After entering the forest deeper, they find Daisy and Dahlia waiting for their arrival. At the same time, the girls except Shiina and Sakura were surprised instead of playing with the many Goblin corpses around there.
"All this was defeated by one man?" ask Sakura.
"From the info given by Yuno, it's true" Luke replied.
"Truly, this thing is really unbelievable!" said Mike.
"Ugh, even though he's used to seeing blood. But somehow I feel nauseous" said Wulan who wanted to vomit.
"Wulan, you better turn off the bloody feature for a while!" aegis Pinta.
Yuno and Silver walk up to Daisy and Dahlia. Yuno also checked one of the Goblin's remains there and found a slash mark on his body. Making Yuno even more confident this was done by one person alone.
"Did you find any traces of him?" yuno asked who saw the other Goblin's body.
"Not really. In fact, in my opinion, he left his own tracks, ", Daisy pointed to some slash marks on the tree.
"You're right! Even I didn't realize it at all" said Dahlia amazed by Daisy's observation.
"It looks like your reconnaissance abilities are getting sharper, huh, Daisy?" praise Silver.
"Y-Yeah! Of course it is! So can you stop wiping my hair?" please Daisy.
"Ah, sorry. I thought you liked it, so I didn't realize it.." said Silver.
"Can you do that later? Now there's more to it than this, isn't Yuno?" reply Shiina approached.
Shiina stared at Dahlia cynically, making Dahlia a little uneasy and asking Shiina.
"What?" ask Dahlia.
"Nothing," Shiina replied briefly.
Realizing that something bad was about to happen, Yuno immediately led everyone away to follow the trail left behind by the perpetrators of this Goblin massacre. But in the middle of the journey, what Yuno was thinking was really happening.
Someone had made the Goblin King angry for releasing his slaves! Go to Krion Village and evacuate the citizens before Goblin King gets there! Defeat 1/1 Goblin King as a condition to end this Event!
20 Silver Prize to all participating Players, 10 Gold to defeat Goblin King!
The Destruction of Krion Village and the Invasion of Ephraim!
Time Limits Do Not Exist!
Event Has Been Completed!
Getting such notifications did not make them all relieved. In fact, this made them curious and rushed deeper to find a large village filled with the bodies of Goblins.
"Not only Goblins, Elite, Knights, even Champions can be defeated by him?" yuno thought as he looked at the bodies of the Goblins.
When they entered the village, they were greeted by more Goblin bodies. In addition, there was a man sitting on the Goblin King throne with the Goblin King's body right under his feet. The man seemed to be waiting for their arrival, making Yuno put up a wary attitude towards the man.
"Ah, after a long wait finally arrived well? It's not in vain that I left a trail there," said the brown-haired man
"If you intend to kill the Goblin King, I'm sorry but you're too late" the man continued.
"Hmm? Who do I think, it turns out that the one who defeated the Wolf King was well?" ask when you recognize Yuno.
"I'm sorry, but I don't recognize you at all" Yuno replied.
"Haha! Of course you don't know me!" reply to the man who stood up from his seat.
But just stepping in, the man disappeared from everyone's sight. A few seconds later, he had been in front of Yuno unnoticed by them. If only he had not spoken up and kicked Yuno firmly.
"Let me say this, you're a thief!" as the man.
"Quick! I'm not even-"
Wush! Brak!
Yuno crashed into a log cabin there. He could not respond to the surprise attack. Even Dahlia who had Agility above Yuno could not realize what had happened just now.
Mike, who is aware before everyone, intends to help Yuno to face the man. But the brown-haired man threw his dagger at the ground where Mike was. As if warning me not to interfere.
"Can't you interfere? If you don't want to die, just shut up and look from there" the man recalled.
"Curtain! Do you think I'm afraid of threatening-"
Zraass!
"I told you, didn't I? To shut up and just look" said the man who gave Mike fatal injuries.
"Mike?!" call Sakura to panic.
Duk!
Aegis sustains Mike's body from falling and receives additional damage that might have left him dead. Quickly, Fina delivers Heal to Mike's body. But Heal alone is not enough to cure all of Mike's HP. Making Fina forced to use Advance Heal to cure HP while eliminating Debuff Bleed experienced by Mike.
Wush!
"Moon Spear Technique, Crescent Moon Slash!"
Yuno swung her spear and created the after image of the crescent moon before her. But the man had jumped in the air, as if he had guessed what would happen next.
"I knew you'd do it! That's why I jumped before you swung that spear!" reveal the man.
"Twin Fingers, Double Round!!"
Zraass! Zraass!
Two slashes were received by Yuno right on her back. Making Yuno immediately roll forward to avoid additional attacks. He also took out his HP Potion to restore his lost HP, while being wary of the man.
"Just calm down, I'm not that weak as to not let my opponent rest" said the man letting Yuno gulp down the HP Potion.
"What do you really want?" yuno asked confusedly.
"none? I just want entertainment that satisfies me, Yuno the Moon Knight," the man replied.
Hearing that name, made Yuno squint her eyes. Trying to remember acquaintances he knew in the Game before he played RYLO. Despite getting her shadow, Yuno still did not remember who and where she had met.
"Stop thinking about the past and face me, Yuno!!" the man who came back to Yuno.
