This alley was just wide enough for 2 person to walk side by side . And the footsteps of the Giant echoed through it .
At the corner of the building, the huge body of the 4m tall Giant appeared . Behind the Giant, there are green-skinned soldiers, the Hobgoblins, following him .
At this time, Mia and I revealed ourselves . There are about 20m between us .
Before the enemies noticed, Mia used her magic .
「《Stone Bind》」
A strong suction power appeared below the feet of the Giant, stopping the Giant’s movements . The Giant gave out an anxious cry .
The Hobgoblin group noticed us and rushed over . 10 Hobgoblins attacking in 2 rows with their shields . That is pretty impactful .
We endured the thoughts of escaping desperately .
When they reached the area about 5m from us . The first 4 fell into the trap . The stone pavement which has always been very sturdy, suddenly caved in and a big hole is revealed .
This hole was created by Mia using 《Earth Pit》 previously and then using the illusion magic, Rank 5 Wind Magic 《Refraction》, to hide it . The combination of the Earth Magic and Wind Magic, made a beautiful impromptu trap . There is no longer the need for me to dig holes . No, in the situation where I don’t even have the shovel, it is impossible for me to dig a hole in the stone pavement .
The trap is about as wide as the small alley . We can be sure that the first 2 will drop in .
But it is really lucky that 4 of them dropped in .
「《Poison Smog》」
Mia release poison smog into the hole . The painful cries of the Hobgoblins echoed from the hole .
The leftover Hobgoblins discovered the trap and got stuck in the situation of being unable to retreat or advance .
Then the 2 Wind Elementals flew out from the roofs of the buildings at the side .
The role given to the familiars is to create chaos, making more enemies fall into the hole .
Another 2 more Hobgoblins fell into the trap . It is lucky that the road is small, and the Hobgoblins rapidly died off .
No matter how strict their training is, to them, this sort of attack should be something unexpected . Although it was the scream from the Giant that attracted them here .
Mia flew up slightly and used magic to attack the Hobgoblins .
First she used 《Whirlwind》 to cut off their retreat path, and used numerous 《Lightning》 to attack them who are lined up .
It looks like an easy victory, but actually it is a match against time .
We don’t know when the Giant who is 10m away, will get out from its restrains .
Before that, we have to take care of the Hobgoblins first .
Ah… . . .
There are still 4 more that haven’t fall into the trap, and I already leveled .
So as to say, I leveled up from the experience given by the 6 that fallen in… . . . ?
※
「Then, then」
After I entered the white room, I head to the computer immediately .
And told Mia that I am raising the Rank of Summon Magic .
I guess it can be considered that our preparations are ready .
The problem is that we have yet to take the gems from the defeated enemies, so we cannot buy the magic 《Many Tongues》 yet .
Now it is more important to finish off the enemies in front of us .
Kazuhisa: Level 22 Support Magic 5 / Summon Magic 6→7 Skill Points 8→1
We returned to the original place .
※
Returning to the battlefield, Mia released more lightnings and finished off a Hobgoblin .
「These fellows are not strong enough . 」
With another lightning, another Hobgoblin lied in his blood pool .
Mia leveled up .
※
「Hmm, hmm, I leveled up with just 8 Hobgoblin . 」
In the white room, Mia and I calculated the experience points . 8 Hobgoblins are defeated…… The experience from the Hobgoblins are scary .
「It is nearly worth 4 orcs」Mia said .
I agreed .
Indeed, the more enemies there are, the easier to calculate the experience points .
We will keep Mia’s skill point to raise Wind Magic to Rank 6 first .
Mia: Level 15 Earth Magic 4/Wind Magic 5 Skill Point 5
We returned to the original place .
※
Just 2 Hobgoblins left .
But these 2 Hobgoblin began cooperating, attempting to break through the tornado wall . One attracted the attacks of the Wind Elementals, the other held his shield and tried to break through the tornado . Although he was in tatters, but that Hobgoblin appeared on the other end of the tornado .
At the same time, the stone pavement attached to the Giant broke .
The Hobgoblin shouted some orders to the Giant . The Giant nodded in agreement… . . .
But the Giant did not obey . The Giant began running . No, escaping .
Shit, not caring about the Hobgoblin, if the Giant returned to the main force… . . .
Mia who is in the air, grabbed my hand tightly and flew towards the Giant .
The reason why flying magic could support both of us, is because I had casted 《Mighty Arm》 on Mia first . Even so, because the total weight increased, the speed decreased .
「Kazu-chi, one of us should go and chase . 」
「Ah, I know . 」
Mia used 《Fly》 on me and threw me out .
I screamed while spinning, desperately trying to control my direction . I flew pass the 2 Hobgoblins, chasing the Giant… . . .
「《Summon Centaur Knight》」
I summoned the male familiar who has a muscular upper human body and a horse’s lower body below me .
He is armed with a spear in his right hand, a shield on the left hand, a backup sword around his waist, and bows and arrows on his back, wearing iron armour including a helmet .
The Centaur Knight began to increase his speed immediately to catch up with me after being summoned . And even after he caught up to my speed, he seems pretty at ease .
「Defeat that Giant!」I ordered it .
The Centaur Knight shouted out something that I can’t understand and rushed at the Giant .
The distance between us shortened… . . .
The Centaur Knight jumped .
His entire body rammed the Giant’s back .
The sharp spear pierced through the Giant’s heart from the back in a single blow .
The Giant gave out his final cry and fell .
The Centaur Knight let go of his spear and took out the sword at his waist and beheaded the Giant .
The Giant’s body faded .
Then my body crashed into the building’s wall and I finally stopped .
Ouch ouch, it’s so painful .
I didn’t suffer any injury, but the skin on my back tore .
When I stood up, I happened to see the 2 Wind Elementals finishing off the 2 Hobgoblins left .
Finally we wiped out the enemies .
※
The poison is not effective against the Wind Elementals . That is the answer that we have gotten .
The poison smog has already disappeared, but the gems are still in the hole, so I left it to the Wind Elementals to retrieve them .
Just a mention, each Hobgoblin dropped 5 red gems . 10 Hobgoblins means 50 tokens . With a Giant, 30 more . We collected 80 in this battle and now we have a total of 260 tokens .
With this, we can buy 《Many Tongues》 .
The problem now is that both Mia and I have just leveled up . If we don’t go to the white room, then we can’t use the Mia Vendor .
Ahhhh, when is the next level up……?
「Think of it in this way, Kazu-chi . There are still alot of enemies left, so we can level up easily . 」
「That is extreme… . . . 」
Maa, considering in such an unrealistic point, how shall we face this opponent . There are still 4 more Giants . And at least 125 Hobgoblins .
Moreover there are those that we have yet to face before . There are at least over 5 of the Mage Hobgoblin that can use Rank 3 Fire Magic .
And there is a wolf like monster that is different from Hellhound .
「The most troublesome thing is the degree of the cooperation that Hobgoblins have…… Although they failed this time, but if they worked together at a crucial timing then it can be very dangerous to us . 」
「Hmm, I don’t think that it will be as smooth next time . 」
Our opinions are the same .
So…… .
「Anyway, we need to lead the enemies by their nose . 」
「The pace is important . 」
We, the elite few, must continue moving to get the upper hand .
We did not rest and began moving to our next battle location .
