As the Instructor of the Shooter Guild praised, the thrown fire spark landed precisely at the Fiendish Goblin's feet.
The trap magic transformed into a mine clinging to its face; the Fiendish Goblin trembled with its flabby flesh in fear, barely managing to raise its arms before the firelight exploded with a boom.
A rune detecting a massive amount of biological reactions immediately bloomed, sending forth a circle of scorching heat waves enough to reduce ordinary humans to skeletons,
yet, after receiving the intense heat up close, the Fiendish Goblin could still emit a painful roar.
Its thick layers of fat rippled like waves under a raging wind, then turned black and bubbling under the high temperature, resembling a sizzling puddle of lard, spreading a disgusting stench of burned flesh with the hot wind.
But the nearby Goblin Group was not nearly as resilient; the moment they saw the fire spark fly towards them, some of the shrewd little devils turned to attempt an escape, but before their lifted feet could touch the ground, the heat wave became death's embrace, gently enveloping their entire beings.

After the flames dissipated, only the Fiendish Goblin remained.
Silence befell the scene for a moment, with only the sizzling of fat from its rotund body.
The Hero's upper and lower beaks slightly parted, her bean-sized golden-red pupils looked onto the scene with some shock.
The Fiendish Goblin's survival did not surprise the Hero; she did not expect to kill this powerful Goblin so easily.
What she did not anticipate was that instead of killing the Fiendish Goblin, the explosion, hindered by its vast and plump body, caused the hot wind to curl back, resulting in a terrifying splash damage.
The sewage that was previously trickling on the ground had been burned clean, and the surrounding walls scorched with burn marks, among them a few comically shaped black Humanoid silhouettes.
— They were Goblins pressed against the wall by the wind pressure, only to be scorched into charcoal remains.
Fourteen Goblins vanished into ashes in this small explosion.
And the two Big Goblins that accompanied the Fiendish Goblin did not survive either.
All that was left of them were charred skeletons, and those remains started to collapse, making scattering cracking sounds as they hit the dry sewer ground.
Even though she was the spellcaster, such astonishing victory left the Hero, who was used to killing Goblins with her hands one by one, somewhat incredulous.
'Magic, so powerful!'
The next moment, the surviving Goblins let out screams of fear, turning to flee without hesitation, not in any particular direction but desperately clawing their way to escape.
Some even collided with the wall but did not stop; after picking themselves up, they slammed into it again until their skulls burst open and they fell motionless.
No matter how Elite, Goblins were still Goblins.
How they had escaped from Phoenix Feather Forest, and how they dwindled from tens of thousands to a mere three hundred 'warriors,' was evident in this scene.
Yet the Hero did not know the origin of these Goblins, she was taken by surprise when they suddenly scattered, becoming entirely different creatures, and she too was momentarily stunned.
A panicked Goblin crashed into the Fiendish Goblin, waking it from its daze while also eliciting a fierce roar.
[Fiendish Goblin's Fear (Fiend-20, 100+ will flee)]
The Fiend grabbed the pitiful Goblin in one swoop, opened its jagged maw, and bit off the upper half of its body.
Sickening fluids spurted out; the Fiend was too lazy to chew and simply stuffed the remaining half of its kin into its mouth, swallowing it whole.
[Fiendish Goblin activates skill: Maliciously Devour, Goblin regains 10 HP, HP 68/90]
Witnessing this horrifying sight, the Hero snapped to her senses.
Even though there was nothing in her stomach, she still felt nauseous.
But more importantly, the Goblins that were already running out of sight.
'Darn it—can't let them escape!'
