170 Ninhursag’s Last Resort
—–
Goblin Champions, they held greater Physique than normal Goblins by birth, and even held a greater ability over magic. They were practically even better versions than Goblins could ever be, and compared to humans, they were obviously superior, and could continue to grow stronger.
Monster had magic crystals and special capabilities, unlike humans and demi-humans who required to process the materials to absorb them into their bodies through potions, food, and more, monsters could simply eat anything and grow stronger out of it.
Some more than others, a few of them could even assimilate the powers of what they ate, they were known as Special Variants, and were truly a headache when they evolved too much.
Of course, such Special Variants were sometimes even called Monster Gods, as they would one day become something so great that not even Heroes would be able to properly handle their power… this was why most of the tribes of monsters where Monster Gods had once emerged were kept in check, and their numbers were sometimes thinned up every time people would see them.
Goblins were included, alongside things such as Orcs, or even Slimes… Goblins still seem to remain a lot in the Demon Continent, alongside Orcs, their cousins, but Slimes had been mostly gone extinct except by very few hidden meadows that harbored the very last slimes in the world… that one had showed up inhere was already very rare for Ninhursag, so it was understandable that she had suspiciousness over it despite having been tamed by the girls.
Sometimes, very rarely, the strongest of the Goblin Champions would undergone an evolution after having grow strong enough by consuming magic crystals and the flesh of monsters.
And then it would turn into a Goblin King. The Goblin King had the power to command troops even better than Champions, and could even influence the talented goblins to evolve into Goblin Champions.
Their very presence was also powerful, they were capable of enhancing the power of goblins by merely sitting over their thrones, by simply existing.
…..
Therefore as long as there was a Goblin Champion dominating the goblins Ninhursag fought, they would be naturally stronger than commonly.
BOOM!
Ninhursag waved her enormous tail, shaking the ground and throwing away a handful of goblins, while two Goblin Champions intercepted her attack using enormous axes they held, which they infused with their elemental magic. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
CLAAAAASH!
“Ungh?!”
Ninhursag looked at the two three-meter-tall Goblin Champions, as they somehow stopped her tail attack!
“Tough bastards…”
She suddenly shapeshifted one more, as her enormous figure disappeared and what emerged from it was a large creature, not as big as the Tyrannosaurus, but more agile and potentially stronger in various other areas.
A ten-meter-tall beast.
It had three heads and a long snake-headed tail.
Each head was that of a different monster, and she even had enormous bat-like wings to fly.
This monster which also exuded the elemental power of three different elements was not normal, it was a Chimera!
Chimeras are a dangerous type of monster, a three-headed creature catalogued as a disaster-class monster, their very presences can shake an entire nation and powerful Adventurers and Knights are dispatched immediately to deal with them when they’re seen.
One of the fangs that Ninhursag held was from one of these beasts. Of course, her magic had limits, she couldn’t transform into any item she found, she had to kill that monster first and then ensue a special ritual, eat most of their flesh.
After that ritual was done, she could take a fang or a bone from them and turn that into the special accessory that can let her transform by gathering mana into it and channeling her magic as a Skin-changer. Using the special spells that were inherent of her race and the special abilities she was born with and developed… she sued those enemies she slays and ate and turned into them.
This was the power of the Skin Changers, and this was why they had the philosophy of “eating what you kill”, as it was a way for them to gain multiple forms and acquire greater survival in the wild by being able to turn into wild beasts and monsters.
This was not a normal Chimera, however, as this was the Elemental Chimera King she had once defeated arduously in a battle of life and death, a monster that was summoned by an evil warlock in the past which had threatened a small duchy near the forests, she had friends there which she wanted to protect, so at the end, there wasn’t anyone for the task of defeating this monster than her.
She remembered that she had won this transformation with blood and sweat, and thanks to the sacrifice of many others that had attempted to defeat it before, and had weakened the monster enough for her to finish it off with everything she had.
The goblin champions stood in awe as they glanced at the smaller yet even more threatening monster.
The aura of Tier 7 Physique and Magic Circle exuded from within it, as its three heads glared down menacingly at its foes.
An enormous quantity of elemental magic exuded from its body, waving around like an ocean of magic, the power of this beast was something even beyond their total comprehension, they couldn’t possibly think they could defeat it easily.
No, it seemed… unrealistic to even think about defeating such a beast.
Despite its power, Ninhursag was being drained of her Mana quickly.
Depending in the transformations, they would drain more or less mana. This transformation as of now was the one of the ones that drained the most mana out of her, she wasn’t capable of properly holding into such power for a prolonged period of time…
“GROOOARRR!”
The enormous lion head roared angrily at the goblins in front of it, as its very roar suddenly generated flames from the mouth of the lion, which spread around like a spiraling vortex of flames, consuming dozens of goblins in the process!
FLAAAAASH!
Many magicians in the back attempted to shield themselves from such a deadly power using magical barriers, which the goblin champions also helped in generating, but Ninhursag had way more tricks than just flames!
Suddenly, the goat-like head gave a cry, as dark magic began to emerge around it…!
