"I surely feel weird."
Walking through a forest that was slightly highlighted by the night moonlight, Riot finally realized that his strange premonition began to grow bigger after he started entering this forest.
-Does it mean that the reason for this strange premonition is in the depths of this forest?
While wondering about it, Riot began to go deeper into deeper areas of the forest.
Just to eliminate or at least find out what caused this strange premonition that is currently bothering him so much.
And, after walking for a moment later, something finally entered Riot's proprietary detection radar.
"-?!"
Riot's eyes widened knowing this.
"It's impossible... This kind of thing..."
Staring at the deeper part of the forest where his presence was currently disturbing, Riot swallowed his own saliva with a nervous face.
"... 56000 swarms of goblins?"
Riot began to clench his fists.
-Besides, they seem to be pointing at me - No, this is more appropriate like... They are targeting Seihul Village!!
Knowing this, cold sweat began to drip along Riot's forehead.
"There are too many of them... Damn it!"
Even if the current Riot already feels a little stronger, he will still have a hard time or even die if he has to deal with an unreasonable amount like this.
And also, if for example, Riot prefers not to fight and tries to evacuate all villagers, the distance between the goblin swarm and the village is too close.
They will not have enough time to evacuate.
"What... What should I do now?"
Riot has two options at the moment.
Between choosing to fight alone with life at stake and if he fails the village will be wholly finished or returning to evacuate the villagers although it will inevitably cause some casualties due to his lack of time and means of transportation.
"Kuh..." Riot's face began to wrinkle in frustration at the time because of the pressure of the situation he was feeling.
However-
-... Eh?
When Riot was thinking hard about which option was better, the blue tattoo on his right hand - [Spirits art] suddenly started to emit light.
"What the-"
Before Riot could finish his sentence, the thoughts of the spirits residing in his right hand suddenly began to flow into his head.
Riot can tell what they're all feeling.
(Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight!!!)
-They are surely a group of War-loving Spirits.
Staring at his right hand, Riot began to tilt his head.
"Fight? Did they tell me to fight them all?"
In response to Riot's question, the Spirits art in his hand began to shine brighter and brighter, confirming his conjecture.
Moreover, those spirits will also not receive an answer no at all.
Riot scratched the back of his head with a tired face, "Sigh~... Well. But since the opponent this time is 56000 goblins, I have to prepare some plans first."
*BURN!!*
"Uwah!"
When Riot had just finished his sentence, his right hand suddenly burst into flames. Well, at least it looks burnt even though it's not.
However, that is not the main problem.
The most troublesome issue Riot is currently facing is...
"... I must not use any plan? Just plunge directly into their herd and slaughter them all?"
The fire in his right hand also shrank. It seems that Riot's guess is correct.
After that, the fire spirits began to send their thought.
(Help. Will. You. We. Kill. All. Them. With. Us.)
Riot began to tilt his head with a puzzled face.
"So you guys mean... You guys are going to help me now? Didn't you guys already help me during this time?"
However, it seems that it is not right.
During this time, the spirits only entered Riot's right hand because he had an aura similar to their heroes in the past.
They did allow Riot to be able to produce fire and so on with their power. However, that doesn't mean that Riot has even gotten their full help.
Because what they can precisely call full help is...
"... Hah?!"
Riot was surprised at what happened to his right hand at the time.
Suddenly, the blue tattoo/Spirits art in his hand began to grow bigger and bigger until it covered his entire right hand and even reached his right face.
-Absolutely no fire appeared.
Riot became even more confused by all this, "... What happened?"
"... I see." But before long, Riot was finally able to realize what the spirits had honestly done to him, without the need for the spirits themselves to tell him what had even happened.
Riot started making a confident smile for the first time since he comes into this world.
"I understand. If with this... We will indeed have a greater chance to win."
***
In a forest area about 2.5 kilometers from where Seihul Village is located, 56000 goblin swarms are heading there.
Their footsteps echoed in this dark and silent night forest, scaring all the animals that were there.
Even if they coincidentally encounter a monster that is especially stronger than a goblin, the goblins can still fight the monster very easily by relying on their numerical advantage.
It was the strongest monster army in this area.
However, when the goblins were at the peak of their confidence in the power they had, an explosion sound suddenly appeared in front of their army array.
Many goblins were killed and scorched as a result.
However, it is not something that means a lot considering how numerous they are now.
At least, that's what the goblins thought at the time.
*BOOM!!*
However, even after several thousand goblins gathered to kill their enemy on this one, they all just ended up exploding strangely. As if, something that caused the explosion to happen had entered their bodies.
And, during thousands of scorched flesh of the dead goblins, stood a black-haired human man who had a strange blue right hand.
The man smiled excitedly, "... You will all be the object of this trial of my new power."
After saying that, the man also raised his hand towards the sky in a gesture as if grasping something.
The man laughed.
A laugh full of madness.
It seemed that he was happy about something that the goblins didn't know at all.
"Gya?"
At that moment, suddenly the area around them felt changed.
The air around them seemed to be getting colder and colder, but at the same time, it also began to feel hot and piercing.
It was a very strange situation.
And without them knowing it, the goblins had been rained down by the blizzard and dehydrated by the extremely scorching heat, then finally fell helplessly.
It was all, was the tantrum of the black-haired man.
With the help of the Spirits in his right hand, the man was able to transform most of his body into something like a spirit.
With his spirit hand, the man summoned almost all the little spirits in the area into his body. Earth Spirit, Forest spirit, Wind Spirit, Cold spirit, all kinds of little spirits that are there.
Therefore, the man could control the weather around the area easily.
However, it was not a technique he should have used.
"Ahaha... Hahahahahaha!!!"
Because of the number of fire spirits that are hailed as war and conflict enthusiasts, the man's personality has also become a little disturbed by the madness of the fire spirits in his body.
The man continued to sink into his laughter, to the point of being unable to notice the existence of one goblin that was darting towards him.
That was the [Goblin King].
Because he was in the back row of his army, the Goblin King successfully survived the weather storm that belonged to the man before.
In addition, behind the Goblin King, there are also still a few goblins following him. It was a small group of goblins who had successfully evolved - the [Hobgoblin], and a [Goblin sorcerer].
Because the man at that time was still immersed in his crazy laughter, he finally failed to react to the Goblin King's attack in time and was finally hit by a punch from the giant wooden bat that the Goblin King had.
Because of how great the muscle power of the Goblin King was, the man's body also bounced far away, smashing several tree trunks.
However-
"... Eh?"
Thanks to the Goblin King's attack, the man - Riot finally managed to regain his sanity.
Although Riot was still very confused, he knew that he didn't have much time left when he saw a large fat goblin full of muscles heading towards him with several goblins that were almost close in size to the size of a normal adult human.
Because of that, Riot also began to improve his detection ability as much as he could.
However, he was then surprised because of it.
"Have I always been this strong?" Riot was confused by the power he could feel in his body at the moment.
His detection ability has also improved. Riot could feel with his body, that he now knew everything that was going on inside that forest.
The number of dead goblins, the number of dying goblins, the number of goblins who escaped, and the number of goblins that are approaching him.
"I can feel it."
Even though Riot was obviously in the presence of the Goblin King who was running towards him at a fairly high speed, Riot instead closed his eyes at that time.
And, when Goblin king was just about to crash his massive body on Riot...
"... Gyha?"
Riot's figure disappeared.
No, he didn't disappear.
When the collision with the Goblin King was just about to happen, Riot immediately dodged very quickly and precisely.
Like flowing water, Riot moves with a flexible movement and high speed, but without gaps, and is just correct.
A smile appeared on Riot's face as he began to move quickly toward the small swarm of goblins who followed the Goblin King before.
"Gya?"
Confused by the figure that suddenly appeared in front of them, the goblins finally failed to realize something at that time.
Something very dangerous for them was a ball of clear water that was in the palm of Riot's hand at the time.
All of a sudden, hundreds of super-small water balls began to be shot from the water ball in Riot's palm, hollowing out the body of the small swarm of goblins with countless small holes.
Seeing his proud subordinates being killed instantly like that, the Goblin King finally realized.
-That the true fight has just begun.
