Krekkk
Ssssss
Dummm
(The sound of earth collapsing)
It was a dome made of earth. The dome slowly opened.
"Alright, you green creature... Time to continue this fight!!"
The Hero, Aldric Owlblade, stepped out. The wounds all over his body had healed, and so had his stamina....
Aldric began swinging his sword, slaughtering the lesser goblins while constantly dodging attacks coming from all directions...
Their numbers were few, as most of them were attacking the village.

"A voice? Where is it coming from... Was that you, Daichiya-san?"
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
I said nothing... Perhaps it is one of Ou-sama's creations.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Hhhh.... Today is really strange."
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Forget it, Owl-kun. Focus on the fight first.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Aldric finished off all the lesser goblins.... Until he arrived before the goblin alpha.
"Found you. That hammer of yours really hurts, you know?"
Aldric leapt toward the goblin alpha.
They fought evenly.
.....
Attack after attack was avoided by Aldric.
Though it was quite difficult, he was still able to handle it.
Until the moment the alpha lost its balance and fell.
...
Aldric saw the opportunity.
"This is the end, Alpha. I've already learned your movements. You won't be able to hit me anymore...."
Aldric beheaded the goblin alpha.
...
.....
"Hhhh, phew."
"It's finally over."
....
But due to his carelessness, he failed to notice a much larger hammer flying toward him.
"What—so fast—
That was careless of me."

Aldric's body moved on its own, as if it had been trained to evade.
"What is this? This feels incredible."
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Of course. All of Ou-sama's creations are extraordinary.... Now you finally realize it.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
The hammer came from a goblin emperor, walking toward Aldric.
"Ah, right. This is the real challenge."
.....
....
Aldric took a deep breath...
He dashed forward, gripping his sword tightly.
The goblin emperor attacked with its hammer.
Its strikes were incredibly powerful, enough to leave small craters in the ground.
"I really need to be careful."
Aldric continuously dodged its attacks and struck whenever he found an opening.
"This skill really helps."
Slashes and thrusts were delivered with incredible precision.
However—
...
Despite Aldric's accuracy, the goblin emperor wore armor made of iron.
"Ahhh, what a hassle."
Their battle dragged on, exhausting Aldric.
Yet the goblin emperor showed no signs of fatigue at all....
Gradually, Aldric was pushed into a corner.
He realized he couldn't defeat the goblin emperor.
Until suddenly—
...
...
Several spikes made of earth appeared,
piercing and restraining the goblin emperor's movement....
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Didn't I tell you? My role is to assist The Hero.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Aldric smiled widely. "Glad to hear that, Daichiya-san."
His spirit returned, his strength began to recover.
"Now it's time to finish that green creature."
Aldric leapt into the air.
His smile faded.
His eyes locked onto his prey's neck.
"....!!"
