A yandere wife's silent anger.
A goblin is a grotesque creature.
Its purple skin was as if withered for all the bad deeds... The nose was big as if sniffing too much flesh of its victims caused it to widen! The bald head also had some veins going across its skin looking disgusting.
All of this was covered by the heavy armor and helmet.
His name is Anoke by the way.
Anoke was looking fairly fine from afar, but as one got closer and closer his features began getting exposed through those gaps between armor and helmet. This was for those who are strong, but there are a lot of adventures in the pillar.
Their eyes are sharpened and so they could see that the goblin protecting the stupid house was indeed the creature of origin.
The creature of origin is referred to as those who were born in the pillar. Their purpose is to gauge the strength of the chosen ones... It means their lives are quite pitiful as they are born to fight and challenge others.
Adventurers will search for money and treasures that can secure their lives... They might sometimes venture higher and deeper just to find those and somehow end up on the other floor.
There are many challenges, but people strive for power and luxury.
The creatures of origin are the same.
It's not like everyone is born to be cannon fodder. They can grow and rise, but such a thing is often a disappointment! Regardless of that, everyone has to struggle to at least get a little more power! This is where the churches and gods step in.
Their influence is easy to get.
Just believe! The belief can not be faked, so the gods from above know just how much influence they can spread through the various races. Both parties have to be all honest to get the most benefits of divine power!
Anoke was kinda failure when it came to this.
Before meeting Kyoya and Xaya, the goblin's dream was to enjoy the flesh on his floor. Anoke had a good life if one looks at his environment through the goblin's eyes! However, he just wanted to enjoy the flesh and survive on the third floor.
Other than going below, Anoke had never thought of going high or trying to take down the tribe's leader!
This had halted his growth.
The second way to have a good life is to become a tribe leader... People mostly don't have to deal with those till death and just being on the same level is enough to go to the higher floor.
There are people too who just decide to stay on one floor and live long enough without death! The pillar just allows them to not die, but this is not the case for the people who want to go higher using the chaos or just seek more lands.
"We have to be careful... This is unusual for those goblins to possess heavy armor and... house."
""""Yes.""""
Adventurers were looking from afar.
Their destination was one of the safety camps on the first floor. Due to the chaos, those camps became more important and even some high-level fools began monopolizing those that were closer to the middle of the floor.
Just below the black hole!
This is the place where adventurers and other people have to reach if they want to go up!
"I can try to take one of its eyes."
"Yeah, when I give you signal, just go in."
The leader of the party gestured everyone to be as quiet as possible, then the party began closing the distance... They were slow and already experienced in such kind of movement as even the rustle couldn't be heard.
The group got closer, then the leader raised his hand.
It was the signal to fire, and so the arrow got released. The poor goblin had no time to react as his mind was also questioning himself... Why is he here? And what is his future? There were a lot of questions, but the most repeated one was - 'Why am I not eating the meat?'
Still...
"GEHHHHH!"
The painful pain spread itself on Anoke's head... His eye was the target that unfortunately became a successful attack! The successful attack could be only followed by other successful ones that will grant them a victory!
"Attack! Get rid of that goblin! Damn goblin from the third floor! We will show you the power of the first-floor residents!"
""""Yeahhhh!""""
Anoke was doing his best to get hang of this pain, but the arrow had its tip soaked in the special liquid that made him stiff... Even though it was the case, Anoke's hand still grasped his head which means that his strong will is the key here.
He tried to use that will, but the external sources were faster and stronger!
"Gehh! GehhhhH!"
Their spells and weapons descended onto his small posture causing the cracks to appear on the armor. The helmet was also the target, then the brawny guy threw it off with his strong swing!
More and more of his goblin features got exposed on, but then Anoke got the grasp of that stupid influence! His hand reached out for the knife, then he blocked the incoming sword!
"DIEEEEE! GEEEEEH!"
The strength of the third-floor resident destroyed the successful flow, then one of the adventurers got its sharp steel deeply buried within his flesh! This lasted for a while as Anoke had to change the targets.
There was a healer lady at the back.
He threw that knife freely at her, then reached out for another to continue the struggle!
"Don't attack women, you goblin!"
"Geh! I will eat her flesh later, you macho! Geheheheh!"
The enraged leader utilized more of his strength fueled by clear feelings. His sword let out a small glow, then this glow pushed Anoke straight onto the house that shook it violently... At this moment, the whole battlefield changed.
[Physical Defense: 0/100]
[Magical Defense: 0/100]
[Durability: 0/100]
The house just broke.
It exposed the goddess sniffing her husband's sleeping face which was too erotic. Her whole face was flushed red, eyes seeming to be even more in love... This naturally got stopped as the air brushed Xaya's hair...
Kyoya was sleeping.
She had no reason to sleep at all on the sweaty husband! However, the air just passed through her and so the smell began getting weaker... Then, the time was merciless and it was also somehow disappearing from the house.
Even though it was their house!
It should store the smell of the husband!
"Filth."
"T-this is... This is a misunderstanding... Yes... We... We are..."
Only the leader was the smartest. He could feel the anger, killing intent, and hate from the eyes of Xaya that was already charming the rest... They could only see the lady pouting instead of the predator that could kill them in one move!
That's why he quickly took the action and spoke for his teammates, but then, their heads began exploding.
"S-stop! No need to give them so much pain! Please!"
There was no way to tell what kind of race Xaya is... She has a perfect human form that already deceived the whole party except the leader! His shouts were desperate, but he hoped to lessen the pain of his teammates.
They won't die here after all.
The reason is that they are real residents of the first floor. They can not die nor wish to go higher! They fight and struggle here for the living! It became harder in the chaos as the first floors are mostly influenced though.
Regardless of that, the leader was sure that it's going to be okay soon enough.
This woman just has to torture them for a little.
The special power of the world pillar will save their lives and allow them to 'respawn' here after the torture ends... This is the best power of the pillar which makes the risky job rather mild, but if one is caught up or tortured for too long, then death might be the only salvation.
"W-what is going on?"
However, the leader just muttered with a quavering voice... He was just shaking so much it was unstoppable... The reason for that was simple - everyone died. They were using the pillar's grace and survived many tortures just to keep their lives.
And just now, everyone died...
As if this woman could break the power of the pillar!
"N-no way... B-but... This is... divine-"
A pitiful man could no longer mutter a word as his head just exploded from the high pressure... He was the man who was wholeheartedly scared of Xaya, so his status filth was lower...
That's why he could see through Xaya's identity and die without experiencing any pain.
