Chapter 377 - Cruel Slaughter
Dozens of goblins charged toward Brono and his party with their crude weapons. But even if their weapons were crude, nobody would dare treat them lightly.
Many adventurers have fallen to this mob of goblins without being lucky to have a clean death.
Verona immediately used her staff to cast a defensive flame sphere that prevented the goblins from getting too near to them.
Pubo and Pobi only had a few arrows in their quiver since their main stack was in their bags which they had thrown towards Azu before and was now lying behind this mob of goblins.
Verona also didn't have any more treasures on her hands that she could use to augment her spells since, again, her bags were not near her.
Brono didn't even have his armor on since he had removed them earlier, thinking that he was going to enjoy this night.
But who knew that his night would turn into one of despair and helplessness?
Still, he had a blade in his hand and his martial arts to fight back, though he knew in his head that they were fucked.
The goblins were still using their weapons to hack away at Verona's defensive flame sphere, destroying its integrity gradually to the point she was finding it hard to keep it from shattering.
The twins weren't even firing their arrows continuously. Instead, they were trying to conserve their arrows as much as possible since even if by some miracle they were able to defeat this mob of goblins, there was still the Goblin King, and they wanted to make sure they still had some chance at survival by conserving their arrows.
Brono stabbed his blade into the brains of the goblin that was making the most noise before him, making that goblin's eyes gray as it succumbed to the ground.
"Verona, try to keep your spell alive as long as possible!" Brono shouted frantically as he continued to take advantage of the protection of her spell to kill the goblins stacking up outside.
This was actually their usual formation where Verona keeps them safe in her flame barrier, the twins take out the ones at mid to long-range with their bows and arrows while Brono makes sure nobody gets close enough to harm Verona. After all, if she goes down, then things will get hard.
"You better kill these ugly fuckers fast! I can't hold on forever, not without my stuff!" Verona said as her face began to lose some of its color from her body being under stress from the amount of Odic force she was pumping out.
Viktor was a bit surprised to see that even if Brono and his party were taken by surprise, they still quickly fell into formation and were actually fighting back.
However, Viktor didn't care since, as far as he was concerned, Brono and his party were helping him get rid of the goblins, though the Goblin King was yet another story.
He could see how it was eyeing Seraphina from afar and still smugly standing in the same spot as if it already considered Seraphina to have already fallen into its grasp. Now, all it was waiting for was its minions to get rid of whatever nuisance that was left in this place.
The Goblin King felt that today was truly its lucky day. It not only had found two sirens with enchanting beauties in a trapped state but also a rabbit woman that possessed such sizeable assets and soft body that perfectly suited its tastes.
However, it let out a crude grunt upon seeing that its minions were still unable to get rid of the adventurers.
Brono and his party managed to kill two dozen goblins, and they were still standing.
*Graaah!!* The Goblin King let out an angry roar, and immediately its minions stopped attacking Brono and his party and stepped back.
The four of them felt relieved upon getting free from the pressure of all these goblins attacking them. They surely killed a lot, but their bodies were literally running on fumes.
But upon feeling a bloodthirsty gaze landing on them, they didn't feel relieved anymore as they saw the Goblin King walking toward them while flexing its huge arms.
Only now they realize that it roared at its minions before since it was personally going to take action.
"Shit! Split up!" Brono shouted as he saw the Goblin King bringing down its large club with spikes on him.
Everybody jumped to the side as its club broke through Verona's flame barrier like glass as shockwaves spread in every direction due to the sudden collapse of the barrier.
Verona and the twins got blasted away as they rolled to the side as they groaned in pain.
They were immediately ambushed by the goblins who were standing near them, taking out their small dull weapons and rocks.
"AAHH!!" The twins were horrified when they saw themselves getting ambushed, but their cries were muffled as the goblins began to smash their bodies with their rocks, breaking their bones, and finally smashed their heads to kill them.
"NOOO!!! Let me go!!! Help!!!" Verona was crying in despair and horror as the goblins grabbed her by the hair and began to drag her away into the darkness. Since she was a woman, they had no plans to kill her outright without enjoying themselves.
As for Brono, he didn't even get the chance to relax his breathing when he was shocked to see the Goblin King swinging its club toward him.
Brono's eyes widened as he put up his blade to defend himself but…
*Thwak!*
"AARGH!" His arm immediately got bent into a weird shape, his bones shattered as he was sent flying from the Goblin King's blow.
"Ughh….fuck…." Brono was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely while feeling pain that made him feel like his nerves were all torn apart.
He had already heard the cries of his party and knew the twins were dead while Verona was in a situation worse than death.
He couldn't help but remember Azu at this moment since that fucker was the reason he lost everything and ended up in this state.
He slowly turned his head towards Azu and smiled with his bloody teeth showing, indirectly telling him that he would also end up in a similar state and his wife would end up in the hands of someone worse than him.
But Viktor smirked as he showed him the middle finger, making Brono wonder why this fucker wasn't looking scared.
However, he didn't have any more time to think as he saw a large club with spikes descending down on him.
Brono raised his other hand defensively as he cried out in horror, "NOOOO!!!!"
