74 - System's Dark Pact

It was only now when the hobgoblin had stepped back that he caught movement out of his peripheral vision.

The goblins were moving when he thought they were too cowardly to attack. However, it was not what he expected.

There was a group of goblins that had sneaked into the ring close to the cave wall. They were moving slowly but hurriedly out of the ring.

Three goblins were holding their weapons up and covering the rear. Behind them was the woman he had met before.

Three other goblins were dragging her away. One dragged her by the long ponytail with one arm behind its back and the other two each pulled on her arms.

Her eyes were still wide-open and filled with fear. Fresh tears streamed down her cheeks.

"What are you doing! We're not done yet!" Elijah shouted and ran towards them.

The hobgoblin stepped in between them and blocked his path. It grinned wickedly.
