Chloe and Jeanne shot the 『Ice Arrow』and 『Fireball』towards the goblin leader who was watching this from a long distance.
One of the entourage jumped into the magic attack himself and shielded the goblin leader with his body. They seemed willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their leader.
However, since the leader had high physical strength and weapons, close combat was a bit difficult.
But, my remaining magic power was getting low. Among the long distance magics that I have, 『Thunder Lightning Spearproduced the best damage and had the ability to go through targets. But after using it I would be left with only two shots.
Since we had an escape route, we could escape anytime, but considering the possibility of a similar surprise attack, it was best to defeat the goblin leader.
There was a way to let everyone leave safely first and call for help. I could hold the back but … it was no good. I didn’t want to take my eyes off everyone when I didn’t know how many goblins were invading the village.
There was no other choice. I picked up a short sword belonging to one of the fallen goblins and went towards the remaining goblins
「My magical power is low, so I’ll move forward. Chloe-san, Jeanne-san, if you still have magical power left, please help me.」
「I can still go on. Leave it to me.」
「I understand!」
「If you’re going then let me help you too!」
James came forward while picking a goblin shortsword up from the ground.
「James, can I leave the task of escorting everyone to you? I think there’s a possibility of a surprise attack from somewhere.」
「… I see. I’m sorry for asking.」
With James’ abilities, close combat with the goblins was dangerous.
James understood that and bit his lips with regret that he would be putting me in danger.
「Huh!」
Gathering energy in my body, I rushed towards the goblins and slashed the closest goblin with my sword.
The goblin’s short sword had multiple cracks and was almost blunt, but it seemed that I can defeat them if I use energy behind the attacks.
Although I attacked the goblin leader who was also attacking me, I was blown away with the power that I never thought would come from a goblin.
By the time I noticed, I was surrounded by the remaining two goblins. The strength of the goblin leader was more than I expected and it was difficult to strike the other goblins while fighting the leader.
Was there no other way but to use magic…
At that moment, 『Ice Arrow』and『Flame Arrow』came from behind me and hit the remaining two goblins.
Chloe and Jeanne! Good job!!!
I barely dodged the goblin leader’s attack and slashed the two goblins that were moaning in pain. With this, only the goblin leader remained.
「Guga! Gugagaga !!!」
The goblin leader was infuriated and
started strengthening his body.
I also started using physical strengthening on my body that was slowly running out of energy. I also applied energy to the short sword.
「Uooooo!!」
The sword flash of the leader intercepted with me.
Because I was inferior in strength, I was pushed back every time our swords crossed.
My body was screaming in pain as it couldn’t handle the shock.
On the other hand, the goblin leader hunted me down calmly and smiled in joy.
After all, close combat was too severe …
While waiting for the opportunity, I felt impatient that my body was approaching the limit, Chloe and Jeanne’s『Ice Arrow』and『Flame Arrow』 hit the goblin leader directly.
The attacks did little damage to the strengthened goblin leader. But it created a small gap.
Here!!!
A ray of lightning pierced the goblin leader with the release of 『Thunderbolt』.
The goblin leader whose body was burned by a strong voltage cramped and its movement also stopped.
My last bit of magical power was squeezed, and the most deadly 『Thunderblade Lightning edge』 in my magic was layered on the short sword as I attacked him.
The longsword with a blade that was barely damaged was torn apart, and the goblin leader laid on the ground.
