But surprisingly or not, Verona’s flame barrier was deflecting away all the spears and knives that some goblins were throwing in their direction.
And even though Pobi and Pubo looked dumb, they surely knew how to effectively use their bow and arrow, evident by how they were sometimes killing two goblins at once with just a single arrow.
Viktor noticed that these arrows weren’t simply shooting out from pure physical force, but they seemed to carry much more speed and strength with a faint gray aura covering them.
Based on what Seraphina had told him before, these twins must be practicing and using some kind of arts that used the element of ‘Air’ to increase their attack power.
As for Brono he was using an Earth elemental art to use the ground and his body as a conduit to gather the odic force and send them to his ax to cut down the goblins by executing his martial skills.
However, even if the goblins were weaker than these four, they had the strength in numbers and were coming at them from all sides.
It was impossible for Brono and the twins to keep them all from coming near the barrier, and within half a minute, some of the goblins had charged out front and stabbed at the barrier with their crude blades.
”Stay back, you ugly fucks!” Verona snorted as her flame barrier suddenly flared up, blasting away the goblins who had reached near her barrier, making them cry in pain while clutching their charred skin.
Even if those who got hurt by flames didn’t die, they were too injured to pick up their weapons and fight again.
The goblin lord who was still standing behind twitched his crooked nose in displeasure seeing how a number of his underlings died too easily. But he was determined to see through this as long as he could taste that little bunny. He had never come upon a woman with such a curvaceous and supple figure that made his little goblin hard just by looking at her.
But first, he would have to hand her over to a certain someone before he could even think of enjoying her.
He knew that these adventurers would soon get tired, and that would be when he dealt the finishing move.
”Tsk, these annoying green fuckers. I have never seen them attack anyone in a swarm like this. That big green fella is surely determined to kill us,” Pubo complained in annoyance as he continued to fire his arrows one after the other while getting worried about the number of arrows left in his quiver.
”Pubo, did you fucking brag about the loot you found during our last run? Otherwise, I don’t see any reason these fuckers would attack us like this,” Pobi said in an irritated voice.
”Oh, shut it, Pobi. I am not as dumb as you.”
”Fuc—”
”You two stop fighting and help us clear out the space before us. The barrier might give in at any moment!” Brono’s previously cool and confident expression wasn’t the same anymore as he realized that these goblins were too persistent.
Usually, the goblins would run away in fear of getting killed after seeing their fellow goblins dying. It was in their nature to run away when there was a good chance of them dying. But now, why did it seem like these things were on a suicide mission, caring only about killing them instead of trying to protect their own lives?
Was it the goblin lord over there that was ordering them? And if so, why? Was he that desperate?
Viktor also had the same question, just like the others, based on the facts he heard about the goblin race.
However, he knitted his brows seeing how these so-called strongest adventurers in town were getting tired and exhausted the longer this went on.
Viktor wouldn’t be afraid to take on all these goblins alone since he can freely attack them without worrying about getting killed, especially since he can heal as well.
If it was night time then getting injured might be out of the question due to how physically strong he would become during the night.
Upon hearing Brono’s command, the twins stopped firing their arrows, and instead, they took a deep breath and placed another arrow on their bow while closing their eyes for a few seconds as if concentrating intensely on something. At the same time, the arrows on their bows began to radiate a light gray light.
”Pobi, Pubo!”
”Ready!” The twins shouted as they let their arrows loose, and both the arrows shot out and struck the ground right outside the flame barrier instead of any of the goblins.
And right when Viktor was wondering what these two were doing, both the arrows suddenly exploded into a powerful gust of wind that blasted away all the goblins that had crowded near the barrier.
However, the goblin leader was even more surprised when he saw that the flames of the flame barrier spread out towards his underlings, who were still a bit away from the barrier. And it all happened because of the gust of wind carrying those flames forward while making them more vigorous.
And before they could blink, his underlings got fried to death, and now this patch of the forest was littered with the blood and corpses of the goblins.
Now only a couple of his underlings remained, and the goblin lord decided to take action as he lifted his spear high and struck the ground with it, causing cracks in the ground that spread towards the barrier, and the force behind the cracks immediately burst through Verona’s flame barrier, making her cough up some blood.
As for the rest three, they stumbled from the force of the barrier getting destroyed while Viktor swiftly grabbed Seraphina and jumped towards the side to hide behind a tree. Since the goblins above the trees were dead already, he didn’t have to be concerned about them.
”Shit! Quickly regroup and form a line!” Brono instructed as he wiped the blood off his chin.
