Chapter 383: Goblin Nest (2/2)

Kristina had sharply caught sight of a burly bear-goblin at a nearby thicket, with the phantom figures of several wolf-riding goblins disappearing in a flash nearby.

“No wonder there aren’t any monsters nearby. It seems that there is Goblin Nest-a high-level magical beast which danger level is above XX appearing nearby. It might grow into a Subterranean City if we allow it to keep growing…”

When large goblins tribes move around in this region, humans of nearby towns would definitely spot their grand advance, and governors would send out armors to clear these beings that would threaten their cities and towns.

But according to Kristina’s information up till now, it seemed that nobody had noticed them. It could only mean that these creatures did not live in the Prime Material Plane, but was brought here by a Goblin Nest posing as a cavern.

The Goblin Nest creature resembled a massive, earthen-yellow bag. The lower-half of its body was hidden underground and it only had a large maw exposed to the air. In fact, its insides were a pocket dimension which provided a much larger space that could fit the populace of an entire city. Low-level pack beasts, such as kobolds and goblins would often form a symbiotic relationship with the Goblin Nest within its belly.

And when the Goblin Nest grows to a certain extent, the space within its body would develop. The symbiotic monsters would hence increase in numbers, species, and powerwhen that time comes, it would no longer be an ordinary monster but a living Subterranean City.

Whenever such a Subterranean City shows up, one or multiple human cities would be attacked by its symbiotic beasts. As such, most churches decided that it was a great threat even though a Goblin Nest had no power on its own.

“Hold on, if that’s the case, could it be that the Goblin Nest had already evolved into a Subterranean City what with so many beasts showing up nearby?”.

But despite Kristina’s shock, her hands never stopped moving as she continued harvesting goblin lives.

However, although the cannon-fodder goblins were left utterly demoralized, they did not have the guts to run away with the bear-goblins and the wolf-riding goblins overseeing the battle from behind, instead bracing themselves to continue charging at the humans and die.

While it appeared that the Temple of Glory had the advantage, they actually could not afford to have this go on.

After all, combat aura was an energy combined from Divine Grace and lifeforce-it was not endless, and they would eventually die from exhaustion if they kept this up.

Worse, they could not break through the goblins’ circle, just as they would be stopped by endless cannon fodders if they tried to advance.

And there was also the bear-goblins holding the rear, as well as the highly-mobile wolf-riding goblins leering at them if they tried to scatter and run.

Oh no.

Even so, just when everyone felt like they had their backs against the wall, a young voice suddenly shouted, “Get down!”

Although the believers of the Temple of Glory were blanking out a little in the ceaseless slaughter, they all did as the voice told even if they could not recognize whether it was Kristina’s orders.

And once they got down, a turbid stream shot out from behind, scattering the thick droves of goblins. Since they did not have any formations in the first place, their movement was left in an utter mess that neither the bear-goblins nor the wolf-riding goblins could rally them for the time being.

Kristina promptly understood their rescuer’s intention.

“We’re breaking through! Follow me!” The girl shouted like Saint Joan of Arc, raising her Chaos Staff high in the air.
