Chapter 23: Reigning Champs (3)

Ruler stood on the other side of the arena surrounded by over 100 goblins that were ready to attack the moment he allowed them to. But Ruler did not as he was waiting for something. And it finally appeared which caused him to laugh.

Most thought that Ruler's ability allowed him to summon and control goblins. These creatures were around a meter tall with ugly, wrinkly green skin and had sharp fangs and claws. They also lasted for 12 hours as long as they were alive and would disappear after 5 minutes when they died.

But these were not the only creatures Ruler could summon, just the standard. After he would summon 111 goblins and they stayed alive when he made the 112th summon, he would summon a variant.

The variant could be 1 of 3 things. A hobgoblin, an ogre, or a goblin shaman. Each of the variants made up for an aspect that the goblin was lacking.

Hobgoblins were about 1.8 meters tall and were the most agile and dexterous of all the variants. They also came with a bow, arrows, two rapiers, as well as some light armor that protected them against some attacks.

Shamans were the magical/energy variant. These guys were the same size as normal goblins but came with a tattered black coat and witch hat that seemed like it was fished out of a trash bin. They had the ability to launch attacks from a distance although what those attacks were, even the shaman did not know. They would be one of 6 different attacks.

Ogres were the most dangerous variant of them all. Standing at 2.4 meters tall and seemed like they were professional, bodybuilders, Ogres were incredibly fast when moving in a straight as well as strong. They could take on someone with mid-tier strength enhancement in a one on one fight and come out on top.

And Ruler was laughing because he just so happened to summon an Ogre along with his small army of 111 goblins.

He looked at the girls who were casually conversing with a dark and lewd smile on his face.

'Keep enjoying yourselves. I'll make sure you really have some fun with my goblins and ogre. Just you wait,' he thought to himself before giving the order to charge at the girls. He forgot/decided not to even keep summoning goblins due to his confidence in his forces.

What Ruler seemed to forget was, the girls had just easily taken down two mid-tier Alphas already so they were not worried about a 3rd one that they could kill without worry.

And the pair did just that. Seeing that Ruler was ready, the girls walked towards the approaching forces with a single look of concern on their faces.

"I want the goblins. There are plenty of them for target practice. You give me those and I'll let you have the big guy and Ruler," Yumi offered.

Cass thought about it for a moment before nodding her head and accepting the deal. She knew that Yumi would most likely zip ahead and take down everyone if she did not agree so Cass could only accept dealing the two Yumi offered her.

'Well, at least I get to beat in that guy's face a little bit,' Cass thought as she stood still and let Yumi put in her work. And work she did put in.

Yumi stood and faced the horde of creatures charging towards her. She raised both her arms and aimed her open palms toward them. Once she opened her palms, small balls of electricity formed within them. Then, the destruction began.

Large arcs of electricity were released from the electric orbs before they crashed into the horde and created moderate-sized explosions within the crowd, knocking many goblins off their feet and onto the ground. But before they could get up, another arc of lightning crashed down onto them and killed even more while knocking others down.

The electricity kept coming and kept exploding in the center of the horde, killing the goblins before they could reach either of the girls fighting on the frontline. Ruler was so shocked that he did not even react. He had no idea that Yumi was so powerful.

After 8 or 9 explosions, the horde was completely defeated except for the ogre who charged forward without even caring about the explosions or the goblins that were slaughtered. This was a perk and demerit of the ogre. It did not lose morale just because of danger or injury but it also meant that the creature would only back down once it was too late and it was pretty much dead.

Yumi looked at the charging ogre before saying "All yours" to her friend who was already charging ahead. Cass made her way toward the ogre without any fear on her face. She did not even attack it from her maximum range but instead waiting until she got into its combat range before making her first move.

When the pair were less than a meter from each other, the ogre punched out. Cass returned the blow by sending 3 bone tentacles his way. When the tentacles and fist met, there was no sound of a dull impact or crash as if two heavy objects hit each other.

It was instead the sound of flesh and bones being serrated. The ogre's fist, which was pure muscle and full of power, was now nothing more than a few pieces of flesh attached to a few bones.

The ogre did not seem to register its injury and simply punched with its other hand. Cass pouted her plump lips before she sent a tentacle to tear off the ogre's remaining good arm. It let out a shout of frustration and anger when it noticed that its arm was gone.

Once the arm was cut from the body, she sent two more tentacles to rip off the creature's legs. This time, the shout contained pain and fear. The creature was stupid but it finally realized how much danger it was in.

Cass looked down at the creature rolling around on the ground and trying to crawl away with its one bad hand with some pity in her eyes.

"You poor thing. You came after this queen even though you are so weak because of that man giving you orders. Let this queen put you out of your misery."

Without giving it a chance to answer or resist, 10 bone tentacles entered the ogre's bodies from various points before moving through it in random patterns and tearing the body apart.

Once she was done, no one could tell whether the corpse belonged to an ogre, a human, or a bull. It was just a large amount of meat, bones, and bodily fluids that were in the center of the floor.

Cass turned her gaze away from the corpse beneath her feet and looked at Ruler before she licked her lips.

"Let's end this already. I am tired of standing for so long."
