An army of perhaps hundreds of little, green-skinned humanoid creatures greeted our sight the moment the dungeon's doors closed automatically, startling us.
They had seemingly emerged out of nowhere, probably summoned by the dungeon itself, because I couldn't make up any other reason, I would have already detected them with my senses from far away if they were here waiting for us… this most likely meant that the dungeon itself summoned them to fight against us!
Or perhaps not me but Kireina would, or the other summons, even Ervas had a pretty good detection rate by using his Telekinesis… But this, it was obviously just created by the Dungeon the moment we entered it and the door closed automatically.
I kind of wanted to try out destroying the dungeon's gate with my power, but the goblins rushing towards us stopped me from doing so.
Nonetheless, I quickly analyzed them through Appraisal.
[Goblin Warrior (Existence Rank: C-Grade+++)]
[Goblin Soldier (Existence Rank: C-Grade)]
[Goblin Shaman (Existence Rank: B-Grade)]
[Goblin General (Existence Rank: B-Grade+)]
There were four types of Goblins within the group, most of them were Soldiers and Warriors, while there were a few, less than ten most likely, who were Shamans, and then only two Goblin Generals who were in the back of the army, unleashing some kind of command with their strange language that made the goblins grow stronger, flashing with crimson-red auras.
So the theory of this place being the nest of the rest of the bugs we fought through our way here must be wrong, this place seems to be completely unrelated to it, right? Most likely some kind of dungeon from another world that ended here for whatever reason.
Well, it's not like there was much time to rationalize the situation we were in, we had come here for the only reason of growing stronger and using this 24-hour bonus drop rate to our advantage, so killing all these pests will do for now.
I quickly used Demon's Fortune and began to slowly siphon the fortune of these goblins, although most of it was dark, the Generals had a slightly clearer one.
After that, everyone clashed against the goblins.
CLASH!
Kireina extended her body into a mass of flesh and many tentacles, using her crimson eyes to shoot lasers… yeah, that's a new ability she developed. Meanwhile, her tentacles crushed many of the weaker goblins with a single swipe, while entangling others and eating them alive with her enormous and multiple jaws.
The goblins were not bigger than one and a half meters, so they were easily crushed in groups.
Ervas flew around controlling the plants he had been taming and accumulating inside of his body, forming long vines and entangling goblins with them, crushing them into the ground, and sometimes firing telekinesis bullets, although some of the goblins with shields were able to resist them.
Vudia used the three gold golems she had, as she had recently managed to make another one, which I helped her at making stronger by infusing the souls I found around into it, although I've also been eating them off-camera.
The three golems had grown up to four meters each, so they were great walking shields for her, while she released sparks of electricity and gold bullets at the goblins down below while sitting over the shoulders of her golems.
Anna was the wildest, rushing into the goblins and crushing them, although the generals quickly decided to act alongside the shamans, showering her with attacks, so I quickly decided to go to her aid while leaving Cuco and the tamed monsters covering our blind spots.
The Goblins never seemed to end, as more and more were being summoned frantically, this was a grind-fest like nothing we had seen before!
I quickly used Consecutive Explosive Mana Bullets to generate ten bullets and shoot them at the Goblins in front of me, crushing them into pieces in an instant, while I used Power Jump to jump high above and evade the attacks approaching me from the sides, and while in the air, I started to drop Phantom Blazing Dark Winds Jewels, which were like grenades at this point, bombing the goblins as I finally fell over the floor, reaching Anna in an instant and clashing against one of the strong Goblin Generals, who almost had my size, but whose body was even more muscular, not at all as skinny as one would think goblins would look like, although the others did look rather skinny.
"GRRYAARR!"
The Goblin roared monstrously as it raised its dual blades and began to clash against my Scarlet Ward Shield generated by my clothes, I decided to release Infernal Flare over its face to quickly end it, but the bastard somehow sensed my deadly magic and jumped incredibly high, conjuring a skill of his own that coated his blades with shadows that sent them against me like bullets!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
CLAASH!
However, Anna quickly reacted, coating herself in black electricity and reaching the blades, breaking one with her axe but the other managed to pierce her body, as blood began to come out of the large wound deep into her stomach…!
"Anna!"
Anna fell over the ground while gritting her teeth, I quickly took out the blade, but Anna was suddenly inflicted by some kind of curse-effect, making her weaker…
"Nngh… Don't worry, Master, I will go rest for a little bit…"
Poof!
"As long as you're fine, my purpose is well fulfilled," said Anna, as she emerged at my side in her ethereal form, resembling a ghost.
Even though I know that nothing would happen to her…
Still, it made me feel frustrated.
I glared at the Goblin General as a second suddenly rushed at my back, but without doubting for a second, I charge ten mana bullets in a single second and fused them with Infernal Flare, as immense fireballs rushed, ten of them, against the Goblin General behind me!
"GRRYAR?!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The bastard really thought that I would somehow lower my guard, didn't he?
I used Power Jump to reach the one floating in midair while being covered by darkness, this bastard had the [Shadow Bending] Skill, which let it encompass itself with shadows and control them, even giving curse effects and more!
