\n
Both Ike and I surpassed Zeke and Maria's stats.
We are probably about as capable as C-rank adventurers.
First of all, I'm now at level 8 in Wind magic.
My magic power has also increased and I can now cut an armored goblin general in half even with an ordinary Wind Cutter that is not pumped with magic.
Also, I can now kill goblin generals with my Wind Dagger(Sylph Dagger) without deploying my Wind Cloak(Sylphid).
I can now use new magic too.
And I'm now at Swordsmanship Lv. 4.
It was a happy miscalculation that my Swordsmanship level increased even though I was using a dagger.
It seems that the dagger was recognized as a sword for me because my physique is different from Zeke and Maria.
\n
Ike had also become a complete spear user and was already stronger than the Blue Fang’s spear user, Luster.
\n
And today we are going to the room behind the spring room.
The four of us are now in the safe zone, making a plan.
Both Zeke and Maria already know that I and Ike are stronger than them, so we make a strategy centered on me and Ike.
I said strategy but it’s just about the formation.
Ike, me, Maria and Zeke will go in that order.
\n
As soon as we reached the spring room, we defeated the 20 goblin generals.
After we defeat them, we go through the passage beyond the spring room.
It's the first time we’ve been here, so I'm bracing myself.
However, there was only one room at the end of the passage beyond the spring room.
The colour of the wall was different.
The walls of the labyrinth were red in colour.
Zeke said.
\n
“This looks like the boss room. I think the goblin king is in there, so watch out.”
\n
“How does the goblin king move?”
\n
“I've never actually fought one myself but it seems they're basically the same as goblin generals.
But I've heard that even if you attack goblin king, its HP recovers so attacking half-heartedly is pointless.”
\n
Ike then opened the big door to the boss room.
Apparently, only the boss room has a door.
It seems that it is not possible to ambush boss from the outside.
\n
The first thing I saw was a small staircase in the centre of the room with an altar on it.
There was nothing on the altar.
\n
In front of the stairs was a magic beast about three metres tall, with large horn and a magnificent sword.*1
To the left and right of the large-horned magic beast is a magic beast with a sword instead of an axe, a larger version of the goblin general.
Besides that, there are about 20 goblin generals roaming the room.
\n
First, I appraised the one with a body larger than normal goblin general.

It looked pretty strong. But if it's the current me and Ike, we can win.
I told everyone about the opponent's status.
When I told Zeke and Maria so, they immediately deployed the earth fort and ice fort.
\n
First, I'll take out 20 goblin generals with my Wind Cutter.
At the same time, Ike runs into the goblin lord on the left side.
Ike is equipped with a spear and the goblin lord with a sword.
Obviously, the spear has the advantage.
After a few strikes, Ike's superiority was immediately apparent.
And just as he was finishing off, a new goblin lord was summoned.
The goblin king was the one who summoned it.
I thought we had to start with the goblin king so I tried to head towards the goblin king but before I knew it the goblin generals I had just defeated were surrounding me.
The goblin lord had summoned goblin generals.
\n
The situation became troublesome.
There is an option to have Zeke and Maria actively participate in the battle but the two of them are on standby as insurance in case I and Ike got into a pinch.
Then Zeke and Maria were surprised.
Apparently, the goblin king doesn't normally have the ability to summon.
And they've never seen a goblin lord before. Of course, they have never heard of its existence.
\n
There was no point in holding back so I decided to use one of the Wind magic…that I had newly learned, Tornado.
After telling the whole family that I was going to use Tornado, Ike went back to Zeke and Maria's place.
\n
“They are probably within range except for the goblin king. Brother Ike, please take care of the goblin king later.”
\n
Ike nodded and I unleashed my Tornado.
Tornado takes away the opponent's freedom in exchange of the lower firepower. I could have put a Wind Cutter inside the Tornado but I went with the Tornado with the least amount of firepower possible.
If I kill a goblin lord here, the goblin king will summon another goblin lord that would not be caught in the Tornado.
Ike went to take out the goblin king while I stalled the goblin lords.
With Zeke and Maria's support, of course.
\n
The battle between Ike and the goblin king was incredible.
When Ike stabbed the goblin king with his spear, the goblin king didn’t pull back from the spear and slashed at Ike with its sword.
Ike tried to pull out the spear but the goblin king was also very strong and he couldn’t pull it out easily so he gave up the spear and quickly dodged the incoming sword. Ike's left arm was cut and bleeding a lot, probably because he was too late when he made his decision.
I disengaged Tornado and immediately went to heal Ike.
\n
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to let my guard down.”
\n
The goblin king tried to give chase but Zeke and Maria covered him with Stone Bullets and Ice Arrows causing him to break the chase.
\n
“Honestly, one-on-one with the goblin king could be tough. I need to find an opening somehow.”
\n
“Then I will defeat the goblin lord while it is fighting Brother Ike. Then it might try to summon them, so please take advantage of that.”
\n
Ike nodded and engaged in a fierce sword fight with the goblin king with the Fire Spirit’s Sword in his right hand.
The goblin king's wounds healed slightly.
Was it thanks to the skill's accelerated HP recovery? It's a tough cookie.
I wiped out the dying goblin lords and goblin generals.
\n
As soon as the goblin lords were defeated, the goblin king summoned more goblin lord.
It seems that he could only summon them if he held up one of his hands.
As soon as the two goblin lords are summoned, the summoned goblin lords start summoning goblin generals.
It seems that the first priority of the goblins is to increase their numbers.
I tried to defeat the goblin lords while they were summoning goblin generals but they managed to summon a few.
And in the end, the second summoning phase lasted until 20 goblin generals were summoned.
This is tough.
\n
“Do you think you can take advantage of the window where it summons the goblin lords?”
\n
“No, the summoning is too fast for me.”
\n
“Let's fall back again to father and mother first.”
\n
We retreated back to Zeke and Maria.
The goblins were chasing us but the goblin king was not chasing us with them.
If they would chase us together, we could roll them up together with the Tornado. Troublesome.
I thought but then I realized something.
Wouldn't this be almost the same situation as the spring room if the goblin king didn't join the fight?
The only difference was that it's a non-stop 2v20 and the goblin lords are slow to enter the brawl if we just let them use summon.
\n
And I told Ike about the scare tactics.
