Goblin Hunt in Southampton - Part 2

***

Meanwhile, in the Armoury room, Lucian and Kyle have entered the room. The moment they've entered, Kyle goes to the section of arrows dedicated to him because he is the only hunter that has a crossbow and bows. He takes five arrows that have a cylinder where the piercing arrow is supposed to be.

"What's that?" asks Lucian, floating next to Kyle. "I've never seen an arrow like that."

"This arrow is sleeping gas." says Kyle. "I've bought twenty of them from Lucifer."

"Lucifer has sold you arrows?"

"Yes. Tough merchant to negotiate, but the best quality in our area."

Kyle puts the arrows in his special container to store arrows with gadgets like that one, and he walks at least ten steps to the table, where two portal guns are displayed. Kyle takes one of those guns, and he turns it on by pressing the button.

"What was the exact location, again?" asks Kyle to the ghost.

"Hm… It says somewhere in Southampton."

"Be more specific?"

"At a Tavern."

"More specific!"

"Hm… Where could goblins enjoy it?"

"… More specific."

"You know what? Type a random tavern from the list and we will see."

"There are over seven of them."

"Let's try all of them."

Kyle decides to type as the destination the first tavern that is shown on the list. And that Tavern is known by tourists as "The Bosun's Locker". Being in a hurry, Kyle shoots Lucian first with the gun.

Seven seconds later, when Lucian was fully disintegrated and transported into the interior of that Tavern, Kyle was about to do it on himself, but he realizes he cannot be teleported right in front of the location, so he just teleports to somewhere ten meters away from that Tavern. After he does that, he aims at himself, pulls the trigger and gets disintegrated, then is transported to Southampton.

After Kyle gets there, the ghost leaves the Tavern, and with a sad reaction, he gives bad news about Kyle.

"The goblins are not there."

"Let's go to The Star Hotel, then," says Kyle, changing the destination to the Star Hotel where they will be teleported.

He shoots the ghost again, moves ten meters away from the destination of the ghost, and shoots himself again. But as he arrived there, they were lucky. There were six goblins, but also unlucky, because they had on the report they had got on the message Alexia just sent them when they were in the armoury room. So, the two of them have to kill those six goblins and search for the other three.

Lucian possesses a goblin from those six. He grabs a sword as he possesses the goblin and stabs another goblin in the back while he is about to throw himself back into the hotel. That's right, the goblins have not yet entered the hotel, which means things are going to go smoothly because inside the hotel there are a lot of humans from the first dimension. If one of them spotted a goblin or even Kyle with a crossbow, a panic would erupt.

Kyle loads an arrow with sleeping gas on his crossbow, he uses the aiming gadget installed on the crossbow, and shoots at the goblin who was looking frozen at his comrade who is possessed by Lucian, and kills the second goblin by decapitating him. When the arrow hits the goblin's back, the capsule breaks and lets out a white smoke, which covers almost every goblin.

Lucian quickly escapes the smoke by leaving the body of the goblin he just possessed a few seconds ago. After he gets out of the smoke, he sees how all of the four goblins are coughing up, and on the floor, on the verge of deep sleep.

After the smoke clears out, Lucian sees all of the goblins sleeping, and he looks at a goblin sword. Without any speech or anything, he possesses the sword, and starts decapitating the heads of goblins. If any of the people from inside and outside didn't have other business, they would freak out by seeing a flying sword, decapitating four goblins, in the broad daylight.

"Good job." says Kyle, walking to Lucian who is leaving the sword, letting it fall on the ground next to the bodies.

"Thank you."

Kyle takes out from a pocket a small gadget with a red button and a monitor. He presses the red button one-time and it shows on the monitor the following message: "Disintegrate all evidence". Before Kyle is about to press it one more time, he puts all of the bodies on a big pile by himself. After this, he presses the device one more time and puts the gadget on the top of his body. He then looks at it, how it disintegrates all of the bodies like in the manga series called Gants.

After the gadget has finished the operation, Kyle takes it back, he holds the button until the text message disappears and he looks at Lucian.

"Now we have to look all over Southampton for the rest of them."

"They can't be far. Let's go." says Lucian, floating up in the sky and flying all over the town.

Kyle walks down the street, with the container on his back, and with the crossbow in his hands. He walks down an alleyway, and as soon as he gets there, he takes out the same pill he used to capture the Rabido at the high school. After the pill was swallowed by Kyle, he is now not able to be seen or detected by humans from the first dimension for at least one hour, enough time to search and kill the goblins who have escaped.

The instinct of Kyle tells him to go and check the inside of the hotel and check the interior to be sure there is not any goblin who is hiding in there, eating an animal, destroying a human or stealing valuable gold items.

Kyle walks around the main hall with the crossbow in his hands, with an arrow ready to pierce a goblin's head. Kyle walks through furniture, humans from the first dimension, luggage and through company animals. But as he is walking through the hallway, he encountered a few dogs, cats and parrots, all barking, meowing and yelling uncontrollably like some mysterious presence is there, but it cannot be seen by humans. This made Kyle feel a little worried that an animal might be running after him while he was doing the search, and his secret would be revealed.

Fortunately, no animal was following him as he was climbing the stairs to the first floor. A relieved Kyle looks down and sees the animals completely agitated and making distinct animal sounds in his direction. He continues his mission, ignoring those animals yelling.

He walks through the walls of a room, and there he sees nothing out of the ordinary, a human is sitting at the desk, he writes on a laptop, only wearing a pair of underwear. So, Kyle was feeling disgusted to see this man almost naked, his chest hair and long beard were on the bricks of falling. Kyle looks around the room for a few moments, then, unhappy, he leaves that room, and searches for another room, hoping to at least get a clue about a fugitive goblin.

In the second room, he doesn't see any footprints of a goblin, only a human lady who is leaving the shower and holding a purple piece of entertainment women are using to relieve themselves from stress. No, it is not a dildo or a vibrator. It's actually a bong.

Kyle leaves the room and heads to another room. Upon entering the room, he sees the goblin, who was making a mess in the room. The goblin also spots Kyle, and he quickly runs to the window, but it is too late. Kyle, having the crossbow poured at that goblin, pierces the back-side of his chest, where the heart of a goblin is located. The arrow got through the chest of the goblin, and it pinned the creature to the wall.

After he got pinned to the wall, he was desperately trying to move, but unfortunately, to his demise, Kyle took an arrow from the container and pierces the skull of the goblin, killing him instantly. He then takes the arrow back, and looks at the green blood the goblin could have.

"Green blood," says Kyle in his thought. "This creature must be a Goblin Angat type."

He takes a small bottle, and drops a small quantity of that blood there. He thinks this blood will be useful to one of his arrows in the future. After that, he stores the small canister somewhere safe. He then puts the same gadget on the corpse of a goblin he used earlier, and watches how the goblin is transforming into dust. After the device was doing his job, he took it and left the room through doors.

He searches the last five rooms, in order to be sure there were not any goblins left. Sadly, for him, there weren't any goblins, which means the rest of them, which are only two left to be seen either by Lucian or by Kyle.

Kyle leaves the Tavern like a ghost, and runs in the streets, searching for the remaining goblins who have to be neutralized.
