38 Scorched Earth Pt. 5 (2/2)

[”Shockwave!!”]

Lurk was once more sent flying away from Grandir, slamming into a wall hard. Causing him to drop his sword, collared women were lying all around him.

”Grab that goblin!!” Grandir yelled loudly at the women, his unwounded hand having grabbed onto the Rod with two crystals on either end of it, The women all ignoring their wounded state scrambled to grab onto Lurk who was suddenly tackled by them.

Bellie saw Alex completely incapacitated on the ground, screaming out madly in pain his mouth frothing. He had dropped his shield and ax and was completely unable to help anymore. She knew the assassin was in the cave somewhere but he had pulled back into the darkness. She moved as Sylvie followed her being her shield. But the swirling lights did not uncover the dark covered goblin.

”Sylvie! Light!”

Sylvie cast a large ball of light up above her. The cave briefly turned bright, a Dark mass being shown near the crack running through the cave where water was running down below, Bellie smirked and sent several arrows into the Dark mass, each arrow passing right through it, bellies eyes widening in shock! There was nothing in the dark mass!

From the crack in the ground Vorm suddenly leaped out, now not covered in shadow, he had left the shadow floating as he himself jumped down into the crack hiding. He wanted the woman to shoot at it so he could close the distance between them.

Bellie struck a defensive pose as Vorm sliced at her manically. She had to avoid getting hit! or share Alex's Fate!. Grandir quickly turned to see Bellie being assaulted in close combat, Alex on the ground frothing at the mouth screaming madly rolling on the ground. He lobbed a large wind shear at the entryway where the arrows had been coming from. Causing rocks to spray out and a pained howl coming from the darkness.

Lurk was being grabbed by naked women in the meantime struggling to escape them without hurting them. Grandir turned to stare at the goblin being grabbed. he pointed at the goblin.

”At least you die in the embrace of many women! you lousy goblin!”

”[Holy Aura!!]”

Grandir covered his eyes as suddenly Lurk had a Bright halo burst into being behind him, Grandir had never seen this before. A Goblin that knew both Wind magic at this level! And now Holy magic!!!

He had to fire everything at this goblin, regardless of what would happen to the slave women he wanted to sell. He began charging up a wind spear to throw into the sprawling mass of women.

[”Roar!!”]

But the women suddenly cried out and fled away from Lurk, who stared right at Grandir, his eyes flaring up violently in purple light. Grandir was shocked hearing the roar from the goblin, he hesitated and stumbled back. But still charging the spell. When he felt a stab in his side. The scratch from Lurk felt like it suddenly had a rusty dagger sticking inside it.

Bellie was struggling to defend herself from Vorms frantic assault. But she had trained for this. But suddenly she was tackled from behind, Aurk had rushed out from the entryway. Knocking Sylvie aside, his body was bleeding from many locations as he had dodged the wind shear Grandir had thrown at him, but the rocks thrown around like fragments had peppered him in multiple wounds.

Bellie shrieked out in horror as the two goblins tackled her down.

”Sylvie! help me!” But Sylvie had fallen over, her mana burned out, having been pushed aside she had collapsed on the ground unable to stand up anymore, despite the insistence of the collar around her neck.

[”Wind Spear!!”]

Grandir managed to launch the spear right at Lurk, just as the pain exploded in his side, he had not been able to put all his full power into the spear. But it would be enough he knew! He just had to kill this goblin, Take the antidote potion he had in his pouch and this fight would be over!!

[”Wind Shield!!”]

Lurk held up both his arms facing towards Grandir, the spear crashing into the wind wall in front of him. The cave turning into a torrent of wind as the two spells slammed into each other. Lurk poured enormous amounts of mana into the shield. The spear pushing forwards but only a small amount of wind made it through, causing only a tiny wound to appear on Lurk.

Grandir recoiled in horror. The goblin stared at him its purple glowing eyes filled with hate and disgust, he was already grabbing the potion with his unwounded hand. This was not how it was supposed to happen! How can this goblin be this strong! that shield had so much mana in it!!

Lurk gritted his teeth, his eyes flaring up once more and he waved his hand violently towards Grandir who was preoccupied with the potion in his hand.

”[Tempest Disk!!]”

Grandir screamed as the disk of wind blew forward towards him. Seeing this goblin standing in front of him, A Halo of light behind it, the purple glowing eyes, its rage it could barely contain. This goblin... No ! This monster!!!

Grandirs arm was sliced off easily by the disk at it blew past him. The potion falling onto the ground along with his arm. Grandir could no longer hold himself up. The pain from his arm being severed, only but a gentle tickle compared to the sudden explosion in his side. He screamed out in horrible pain as he doubled over. Blood spurting out from his shoulder. He could only barely make out the monster goblin standing over him through his manic eyes.

{”You are a monster”}

Grandir could barely comprehend, this goblin had just called him a monster. He screamed in pain, Alex was barely conscious as his body could simply not take it anymore, but he was still screaming. Bellie was struggling to fend off Vorm and Aurk grabbing her and holding her down onto the ground, her eyes panicked seeing her comrades down on the ground.

Lurks purple eyes stared at the Dark elf, but Lurk did not kill him. He waited, and watched as the dark elf screamed out in pain.
