Sir Glue

"You owe… you owe me, I want, I want at least twenty gold coins", Uglix says with a serious face while watching the blushing Sakura. One of his hands moves quickly to search for something in his pocket, but he's just playing.

"Twenty gold coins?", Sakura swallows as she thinks in horror. Her heart skips a beat and her mind can't fully grasp the amount of money Uglix demanded.

Twenty gold coins are enough to buy a nice house not far from the town, and naturally, it's something Sakura, a teenager who ran away from home to seek a life with Sasuke and Naruto, doesn't have.

Seeing Sakura lower her head slowly while clenching both fists, Sasuke steps forward, his eyes fixed on the fat man.

Sasuke doesn't have a good impression of Uglix; it can be said that he thinks Uglix is a shameless man who only thinks about women and money.

Sasuke, a teenager raised with the values of loyalty and chivalry of the nobility, simply has the urge to punch this fat man every time he sees him.

"Sir Quasimodo, can we negotiate?, Hehe, How about I tell my father to help you get a good job as an official under the Baron…", Sasuke wanted to continue talking, but not far from them, the sound of various beasts approaching at great speed can be heard.

"Is this… a stampede?" Naruto narrows his eyes seriously. Sasuke quickly takes Sakura's hand, seemingly ready to escape with her at any moment, and Uglix simply remains in his spot, immobile like a statue.

Uglix's years of experience seem to come to light at this moment as he looks around cautiously, a slight feeling of anxiety striking his heart.

"This… Run!!", Uglix shouts, his heart pounding fiercely, his body, his mind, everything alerting him of imminent danger, as if sensing something truly evil lurking not far from them.

The sound of the stampede grows louder, Uglix's voice hits the three teenagers like a spark, and they have no time to react. They can only watch as Uglix turns halfway before starting to run north.

"What the hell?!", Sasuke, seeing Uglix shoot off like a bullet, running like a headless chicken, barely has time to react when he sees in the distance from the south several red goblins approaching them. Each of these red goblins in the distance looks fierce and evil, their muscular bodies and eyes entirely focused on Sakura.

"Old bastard!!", Sakura cursed out loud upon realizing Uglix had escaped alone. She quickly tries to run after Uglix, but an arrow buries itself in the ground not far from her.

"Buggaaa!!" A powerful goblin's scream resounds, the scream of a strong goblin reaches the ears of Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto, stunning them completely.

"What the hell?" Sakura murmurs under her breath, feeling her entire body freeze. Her mind, her heart, her muscles, nothing seems to respond to her thoughts, and she can only watch in terror as the several goblins running like a stampede approach at great speed.

Sasuke, in his spot, doesn't know what to do. As a ninja, he barely knows the fireball technique and some hand-to-hand combat. He simply watches with resentful eyes in the direction Uglix escaped before cursing under his breath.

How can a man like Uglix exist?

While Sasuke and Sakura lament and curse Uglix, Naruto watches, mesmerized, as the red goblins approaching bring several carriages with huge cages on top.

...

Some time later.

"Sir Glue", we captured the three who were stunned, but the old man escaped..."

A three-meter-tall red goblin reports to a somber-looking goblin.

This somber-looking goblin has an elderly face, a face with several scars, and a body sculpted like a Greek god. Although he is only two meters tall, this is Goblin King Glue.

Goblin King Glue is a goblin who evolved from a simple goblin to a high-level warrior goblin. This is a rare goblin who has acquired superior intelligence and unparalleled combat ability.

Goblin King Glue looks at goblin number 12 in front of him with a slightly shadowed face.

"It doesn't matter; for now, the soldiers need to rest. We don't need to lose anyone over stupid reasons. We'll camp here for a dozen hours before continuing the search for the goblin princess", Goblin King Glue orders with a solemn face. Number 12 in front of him nods before retreating.

Throughout his short life, Goblin King Glue has seen many massacres, his people being annihilated, and his life tormented by endless humans who come to hunt them as if they were prey.

In one of his encounters with a group of adventurers when he was younger, Goblin King Glue found himself in a deep forest.

Escaping to save his life, Goblin King Glue didn't pay attention to anything at that moment and ventured into the forest. Surprisingly, when he entered the forest, his body was transported to a kind of white room where he became unconscious. The next thing Goblin King Glue remembers is that new knowledge was written in his head as if they were memories.

This new knowledge was about how to evolve from a simple goblin to a goblin-god.

Now, the red goblin is trying to fulfill the necessary conditions to start the mating ritual.

This is a ritual where the male side subdues the female side, forcing her to have sexual relations to ultimately sacrifice her and drink her blood.

If the ritual is completed, then the male side will obtain the talent and power of the female side.

Glue is aware of one thing: he is not the only mutated goblin who appeared a year ago.

A female goblin also appeared. Unlike Glue, this female goblin is a green goblin who founded a sort of village where magic and respect for nature are taught as something primordial.

The green goblins belonging to the small village of the female goblin or the "goblin princess", as she is known, are magicians. Each of them can use magic in different ways, but the goblin princess has a special ability, sky, sea, and earth. The special ability or magic of the goblin princess is a magic that allows her to bless her allies to double both their magic and their stats.

Not only that, but it also makes her allies have infinite magic for a brief period.

Glue swallows greedily. If only he had this ability, then he could double the power of his small army, or better yet, he could become a magician.

While Glue narrows his eyes with greed, his eyes can't help but turn to the large cages containing several men and women chained.

Glue approaches one of the cages to inspect the humans more closely.

"Hmph...", Glue mutters softly upon seeing that the humans inside the cage seem healthy and their bodies are completely intact.

Once he obtains the goblin princess's ability, Glue plans to start the sacrifice ritual, sacrificing all the men to enhance the power of his small army and violating all the women to increase the number of his troops.
