Arsenea

Along with the day when the king Vincent was attacked by a mysterious intruder, two young men on their way both continued to step towards a village to carry out the first mission carried out together. They named Rob and Edon. The two formidable knights who had just been inaugurated by the king of Vincent a moment ago were with Pells and Jack. 

"... how far is the village of Arsenea, really? Even though we have been walking since then like this, we have not reached the village," Rob complained when they stopped for a while.

Edon ignored his friend's remarks and only focused on the foresight. Still in a state of standing upright, Edon noticed the atmosphere around. Meanwhile, Rob couldn't help but quench his thirst when the scorching sun began to scorch. He sat for a moment unwinding under a shady tree and then took a few drops of water he was carrying. Indeed, it took a short time to get to the abandoned village of Arsenea.

The first mission of the two of them is none other than to eradicate all the goblin stones in the village of Arsenea.

The reason why the villagers left their villages was because of the actions of the stone goblins. The residents could not fight back and not a few victims fell while trying to fight the stone goblin. 

"We are the newly appointed knights of the king! Show your seriousness and let's continue this journey again! The village of Arsenea seems to be close to here," Edon said excitedly.

"Alright, alright! So the knight turned out to be troublesome too, huh!" Rob began to get up from where he was and walked, following Edon from behind.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Rob and Edon to finally arrive at the village of Arsenea. The houses of the residents, who were empty and quiet because there were no occupants, looked very messy. Although in such broad daylight, there was really no one to pass by. The two new knights also stared at each other and understood the condition of the village of Arsenea. The two of them were on standby with their respective swords.

While continuing to walk down the corners of each corner of the village of Arsenea, the two of them decided to disperse. They felt that by scattering, they would quickly find the source of the chaos in the village, which was believed by the stone goblins. By staying alert to the threat of a rock goblin that suddenly appears later, Edon and Rob rely on their respective swords.

The village of Arsenea itself is not very large. Evidenced by that, only a dozen dilapidated residents' houses are no longer inhabited.

"Those stone goblins seem impossible to go out in broad daylight like this. But there could be stupid rock goblins hanging around," Rob said to himself.

Let alone the voice of a human being, the rush of the steps of animals such as cows and others alone is not heard in the area of the village of Arsenea. The sumilir of the roaring breeze accompanied by some of the sounds of birds flying in the sky for a moment released the silence. The abandoned cattle shed also left only water and food residue.

"It's really terrible also the impact caused by the attack of those stone goblins," Edon thought. He kept observing the atmosphere and stayed on standby.

For quite a while, Rob and Edon circled the village. It seems that those goblins did appear at night. The two of them also decided to meet again at the previous place and rethink what steps they wanted to take.

Just as Edon stepped into the place where the deal met with Rob, his listener's senses caught a rowdy voice from a place not far from him. Following his curiosity, with all his vigilance and caution, Edon slowly moved towards the source of the sound. Getting closer and closer, the sound came from behind one of the residents' homes. Edon knew that the unmistakable sound he heard turned out to be the sound of one of the stone goblins who was fetching water from the residents' well.

[Finally appeared to you goblin! But why is he just alone, huh? I must not be careless about killing him. I have to follow where the goblin will go after fetching water.]

The small, stone-bodied 150 cm-range creature with green eyes looked back and forth to make sure it was. His fairly long and pointed ears made the stone goblin's sense of hearing sharp. Edon knew that and had to be more on guard not to make the slightest noise.

After the container carried by the stone goblin was completely filled with water, he intended to pass from the well and take it away as quickly as possible. Hadn't had time for the goblin to run away. Suddenly a loud shout broke the silence.

"Edon! Where are you?! Have you found that stone goblin?!"

"Rob fucking!" growled Edon.

Rob's screams made the stone goblin lift the bucket full of water and ran over. Edon's focus was divided. He didn't know where his partner was and the goblin who had disappeared from sight. But swiftly Edon ran to follow the stone goblin.

Feeling that his whereabouts were threatened, the stone goblin continued to run without looking back. His tiny body turned out to make his run fast even though it made her body of stone and carried the weight of water as well. The rush of Edon's footsteps was heard loudly in Rob's ears. It was also deftly that Rob finally found Edon's whereabouts. Both of Rob's eyeballs rounded wide when they saw Edon running after something they had been looking for all day.

"It's so fast to run that stone goblin! I must not miss his tracks!" said Edon.

Rob didn't stand still. He didn't want to miss the opportunity and directly caught up with his partner. Their distance is now not far apart. He chased the goblin rock until it didn't feel like he had entered the forest area near the village of Arsenea.

There was a brilliant idea in Edon's mind. He didn't want to waste any more time and immediately accelerated his run as hard as he could until he almost got close to the stone goblin. After feeling that the distance was sufficient, Edon drew out his long sword and targeted the back body of the stone goblin.

"Successful!" The rock goblin's back was scratched by Edon's long sword and dropped drops of blood on the ground. After that, because of exhaustion, Edon stopped his steps. Meanwhile, the rock goblin continued to run until it disappeared from Rob and Edon's sight.

"What are you doing, Edon?! Let's finish off the rock goblin quickly!" invited Rob with a stingy breath.

"Calm down. I already have a plan. But you thwarted my previous plan. Your breathing is just irregular like that, it's useless for us to chase it," said Edon. He dropped his body against the trunk of a large tree at hand. Rob looked at Edon with a curious look. He was forced to give up his intention of chasing the stone goblin.

"What are we going to do now, Edon?" asked Rob.
