Chapter 9: The goblin king

「Time's up, Desmond」said the Goblin King as he discarded the girl onto the ground after having cummed hard in her. Kibadios soon realized the girl was the priestess that has accompanied the hero. 「You have your three days.」

「Aww… Can I have one more day? I'm pretty sure he's really close to his breaking point」

「We have our deal. My boys and I have our needs.」Laughed the Goblin King as he stroke his dick.

The Goblin King walked slowly down his throne, his hand grabbed firmly on a large silver spear, which most likely a loot since goblins did not possess the skill to forge any weapons. As he walked by the priestess, who laid lifelessly bare on the ground, the Goblin King, without even glancing at her, suddenly thrust the spear's blade straight into her heart, ending the poor girl's life instantly. Rowan and Maia almost sprung forth to the priestess from their hiding place, but their movements were stopped by their master. Shaking his head, the hybrid signaled for them to calm down to continue observing the situation.

As the Goblin King walked toward the hero, the crowd of dozens of lower class goblins and orcs parted onto either side. With that, Kibadios was finally able to see Ryan the hero. Completely stripped naked, the hero was strung up into the air by his arms, leaning against the wall. His body was covered in bruises, some have darken while others were still bright red. Undignifying for a hero, his dick was completely erected, leaking precum like a faucet. With his eyes covered in a black blindfold, the hero squirmed around, moaning escaped the gag on his mouth. Below him, two small goblins, holding a blunt end wooden stick, constantly prodded his asshole while laughing like maniacs.

「Three days. Under strong aphrodisiacs that can kill an elephant. Yet not even once he begged to be fucked」complimented the Goblin King sneeringly

「I know!」exclaimed Desmond. 「Ahh, I would just love it to see him begging for my dick like a common whore in the market on his own volition.」

「Well. Since he didnt. I guess I will claim him first for myself.」the king signaled his goblins to remove his blindfold. As his eyes slowly adjusted to the light, the hero angrily struggled, trying to break free of his shackles as he saw the priestless' lifeless body lay on the ground. 「Surprised to see your companions here, Hero? Yes, yes, it's true. Your companions were not able to escape like you thought they would. In fact, the elf had been turned into an onahole for my orcs. Soon, it'd be your turn.」

Licking his lips hungrily, the Goblin King approached the dejected Ryan. The hero had suddenly stopped struggling the moment he heard the fate of his companions.

Well, I guess I need to act before that hideous thing taint my soon-to-be toy…

As the kings hand reached out for the hero, Kibadios suddenly jumped out of his hiding place, his hand equipped with the giant scythe he once used during the night attack. With one swing, he quickly chopped off the heads of several goblins and orcs, only to have his strike stopped by the extremely reactive Goblin King and his silver spear.

「What is this?」The king's eyes turned red from rage as he realized intruders were able to infiltrate into his deepest chamber without setting off any alarms. 「Where did you come from? Where are my guards??」

「Dead.」

「... Kibadios kun?」Desmond stood up, surprised at the presence of someone he knew 「That appearance… you're demi-human?」

「Isn't it obvious?」The hybrid gave the monk a smile while his eyes were still paying attention to the Goblin King he was facing.

Woube.

Age: 85

Level: 30

Mana: 1,400

Class: Goblin King

Ability: < Earth Roar lvl4>

Unique Skill:

… Thought Acceleration? So the longer I stay in the fight, the more disadvantage I become since he can formulate more plan for counter attack…

「Get him!」Ordered the king as both he and Kibadios were currently contesting their physical strength by having their weapons clashed against one another. Still, clearly, the Goblin Kings was losing since he could feel Kibadios' scythe getting closer and closer to his body.

Heeding their King's order, the remaining goblins and orcs rushed toward Kibadios.

「Now, Maia!」ordered Kibadios.

From her hiding place, Maia leaped forward. In between her fingers were, again, several small bottles. Though, this time, they did not contain poisons as the one she previously used. Swirling her hands around, she let whatever in the small bottle diffused out toward the incoming horde of goblins and orcs. With one snap of her fingers, sparks began to appear around the monsters. Confused, they stopped their charge and looked around.

BOOM!

Suddenly, wherever the scent diffused to, the area caught on fire. With her being an alchemist, creating volatile gunpowder like substance was an easy task. However, the skill that made her creation deadly dangerous was the fact she could feel the air circulation and spread her scents so that only targeted area would be affected by the explosion. Despite the unpredictable molecular diffusion governed by Brownian motion, Maia somehow still are able to direct her "scent" wherever she wants like an airbender , Kibadios thought, an elegant ability that is befitting her maiden look… Even I would have trouble dealing with her . Due to her manipulation, even when Kibadios was downstream of the wind, he was completely unaffected by the fire that was set off. The same thing cannot be said for the orcs and goblins though since all of them had fallen down onto the ground and burnt to a crisp.

「Damn you!」Screamed out the king as he tried to reduce the distance between him and Kibadios while helplessly watching his pack reduced to ashes. After all, even though he was holding a spear, his specialty was close combat… So was Desmond. The monk sneakily stepped behind Maia during all the confusion, readied to strike down at the unsuspected girl.

「」screamed out Desmond. With his ability activated, a large haki enveloped his arm. Desmond was confident since with just one hit from him, the girl would be pulverized. After all, this was the very attack that brought down the Hero. Yet, the girl turned her head around, facing the mad monk without any fear in her eyes.

CLANGGGG!!!

It was a hit and he knew it. She's dead! Desmond thought to himself. Yet strangely, his hand hurt… actually it really hurt.

「ARGGHH!!!」The monk screamed out as he noticed he had hit an invisible barrier, just a few inches away from her face. From pure instinct, the monk jumped back a few steps, then looked around to find Rowan, who was casting a defensive spell to protect Maia.

Damn it! I forgot they had three people! Desmond thought. His setback was severe since one of his arms, which was his main weapon, has just been taken out from the fight. Yet, before he could think, a barrier soon appeared right in front of him, then another to the right, and another to the left. Shit! This is… With his quick wit, the monk again jumped back even farther away. His reaction was just right in time since had he been slow for even a second, another barrier would be constructed behind his back and boxed him in.

「What is this? Why the hell are you guys so strong?」yelled out Desmond. If he had trouble dealing with the two, he knew he stood no chance against the demi-human who was leisurely fighting against the Goblin King. From his estimate, the man, Kibadios, possessed a power equal or even exceeded Ryan. After all, the monk could only take down Ryan because he was caught off guard. Had it been a fair fight, there was no way he could win. With that, he fully understood the situation he's in: there was no way he could win.

「Haha… Woube, it's been a pleasure doing business with you, but I'm afraid I don't want to die together here.」

���What… are… you… talking about? … Give… me… a hand!」shouted the Goblin King as he was out of breath, trying to keep up with Kibadios.

「No chance! I gotta escape! It's now or never!」The monk, using his one good hand, dug down onto the marble floor of the chamber, then with all his strength, broke a fraction of the ground and threw it toward Maia and Rowan. Of course, the huge piece of the floor broke off into pieces before hitting the two teenagers as it collided with the large barrier Rowan erected. But the moment the dust settled, Desmond had already escaped.

「Damn it!」shouted Rowan, who was preparing to chase after Desmond but only stopped when ordered by Kibadios.

「Don't worry about him. Who knows if there's any traps. Don't chase him」said Kibadios.

「Damn… You… Desmond!」the Goblin King panted. Now that all of his underlings were dead, his unique skill, , was useless since it could only be activated on his underlings, granting them extra strength and stamina. His has always been activated, yet, with the 14,000,604 scenarios planned in his head, all led to him being killed by the hybrid standing in front of him. Escaping was impossible now that the hybrid's underlings has stood in front at the only exit. He could use the Hero as a shield, but then the hybrid had given him no chance to break away from the fight. The milliseconds that the hybrid attention was directed toward the barrier boy, though, was his only shot. The Goblin King dropped his spear onto the ground, then sprung forward, his hands formed into the shape of a claw.

「」screamed out the Goblin King. His ability, < Skull Crusher lvl3 > , was a perfect skill for close combat. Similar to < Chaos Smash>, once the ability was activated, haki would be concentrated into the user's fingernails. The moment the opponent got grabbed by the users would be all over as their bones would be instantly shattered.

Despite the Goblin King's confidence in his attack, Kibadios remained calm even when the king's reach has gotten so close to the hybrid that dodging it would be impossible. The confident smile on the king's face vanished as he realized both his arms had been sliced clean off.

「AHHH!!!」the king collapsed on his knees 「HOW DARE YOU!!!」

Swooshhh!

The moment he finished his sentence, his head has already been rolling down onto the floor. Why did it turn out this way? Just a few moments ago, everything was going great!

「This was much easier than I thought」Kibadios stomped onto the Goblin King's head to stop it from rolling around, then picked it up with his hands. The black goblin's blood dripped down his arm「Ryan must be really careless…Now, its time for you to rest in my stomach, you ugly bastard.」

Again, Kibadios' shadow crept out from his feet again. Though this time, it took shape of multiple shark heads, each of their teeth was as sharp as a knife. The shadow circled around the headless body of the Goblin King for a few times, then mercilessly devoured it by shredding its flesh into pieces. Like a pack of piranha, the feeding frenzy lasted for mere seconds as the corpse disappeared into thin air, leaving splashes of blood on the floor. Once finished, Kibadios then threw the goblin's head he was holding into the pool of shadow, leaving no traces of the Goblin King behind.

「We're sorry, Kibadios sama, for letting Desmond get away.」Rowan apologetically approached his master with puppy eyes, expected to be scolded.

「Dont worry, he would only be temporarily extending his life … for now… After all, I have promised Reuk to avenge him. And I may be a lot of things, but not a liar. 」Kibadios lovingly patted both Rowan and Maia

「You two did well. Much better than I expected, actually.」His hands began to move down from their slender backs to their pear-shaped buttocks and gave them a few soft squeezes. 「I will reward you two accordingly later.」

After paying attention to his toys, the hybrid turned around and walked to Ryan, who was still strung up high.

「You're safe now, Ryan」said Kibadios as he held the naked hero in his arms after lowering him down from the rope.

「Haa… haaaa」Moaned the hero, then he continued to speak incomprehensibly 「Kiba..dios? … Re..uk?」

「... He's dead.」replied Kibadios. The hybrid has now positioned the hero on his back to be carried out of the goblin nest. The moment he heard his best friend has died, tear filled his eyes as his consciousness started to fade away.

「Should I use give him my potion to heal, Kibadios sama?」

「... No. Not yet, anyways.」answered the hybrid after he thought for a few seconds. 「I need his mental and physical state to be weak. That way, I have a higher chance to control his mind through my unique skill as a half-incubus. 」

「You'll be turning him into a new toy?」asked Rowan.

「Yeah. Unlike you two, though, I'm pretty sure I would need to control his mind for him to stay obedient.」

「I see.」Answered Rowan indifferently… or rather, he was excited. After all, he would soon have a brother in master's harem.
