Chapter 175: The Tenth Wave

Vincent and his teammates kept on defeating one monster wave after another until they defeated the ninth wave, causing the last and the deadliest monster wave to start.

The moment the last monster wave started, a small army of one thousand green goblins came out of the four portals at the same time.

The Goblins were not only short, ugly, and skinny but also only a meter tall. While some of them were holding staffs and bows in their hands, most of them came equipped with a sword in one hand and a shield on the other.

"What the hell?! Even the night wave only had five hundred monsters! Why does the tenth wave have one thousand of them!" Nevis said, feeling shocked out of his wits, telling himself that the one who created this trial made the tenth wave for the sole purpose of killing the challengers.

"Even though they are only goblins, isn't this number ridiculous?" John said in a shaky voice, feeling bothered by the fact that it might be impossible to overcome this trouble.

While those two were saying those words, several goblin shamans raised their staffs, chanting something in their language, causing a fireball to conjure just above their staff.

Whoosh

Whoosh

Whoosh

As they brought their staff down, the fireballs blasted towards them, leaving behind a hot and smoky trail.

The eyes of Iris, John, and Nevis opened wide in fear as they speechlessly looked at the incoming fireballs with a restless and somewhat devastated expression on their faces. How are they going to dodge them? If they fail to do so, then they would be severely harmed and then they would die under the blades of the one thousand goblins for sure?! Of course, they didn't want to die, but they couldn't d anything to fend off the several large fireballs coming towards them, and walking out of their trajectory meant running into the blades of hundreds of goblins!

"I got this!"

Vincent said out loud before a huge amount of blood surged out of his hands, extending across each side, and at the same time, swirling around them, solidifying into the shape of a dome before the fireball reached them.

Bam!

Bam!

Bomb!

An instant after he created the crimson dome, one fireball after another crashed on it, causing it to tremble violently, and most of it shattered into crimson shards that dropped to the grounds with a thud, thud, and thudding sounds.

"Let's hurry up and reinforce the dome!"

"Alright,"

Leilani and Varth said, arousing the supernatural cells in their bloodstream, and their ice and telekinesis cells sucked a portion of their magic energy to release coldness out of their palms and onto the crimson dome.

In the blink of an eye, huge chunks of ice reinforced the crimson dome, undoing the damage done to it by the fireballs, sealing all of its entrances.

"What should we do now?"

Sealing themselves inside of a dome wasn't going to change the fact that one thousand enemies were waiting outside for them, and they knew it.

Sooner or later, they would have to confront them. And they believed that it is better to fight them when they are not exhausted to the point of not having a single unit of magic power in the body and low stamina!

"I have a plan that can help us overcome this monster wave without much problem," Vincent said, his words caused their eyes to brighten up in happiness and ignited hope in their hearts.

"What is it?" John asked, ears perking up in curiosity.

"Listen well!" Vincent started to tell them about his master plan. They will use the dome as a fortress, and Leilani and Varth would keep on reinforcing it by using their abilities. They need to open up two entrances in the dome as that will bait most of the goblins into coming inside the dome. As the entrances of the dome won't be too large and not too small, only a group of five to ten goblins would be able to enter the dome from both entrances at a time. Since the goblin warriors are not too powerful and only in the early to the middle stages of the magical realm, they should be able to easily kill two groups at a time. While Vincent told them that he would head out of the dome and kill the goblin shamans before taking down the goblin archers.

The goblin shamans and archers were the only foes who could attack from a range. He chose to take down the goblin shaman first as they were had the most destructive powers, and if they remain alive for a while, then even with Leilani and Varth reinforcing the Crimson Dome, it would still shatter under the brutal assaults of the shamans.

"Isn't it too dangerous?" Leilani said, worried about Vincent's well-being.

Vincent shook his head, knowing full well that in this group only he can perform the feat of charging into hundreds of goblin warriors and taking down the goblin shamans and archers as only he had the Bracelet of Strength, the negative energy barrier, and the blessing of the Purple Fairy Melody.

Leilani looked at the others with eyes that begged for their help, asking them to stop Vincent from heading outside.

'Should I take off my demon sealing mask and kill them? But what if it sees them and does its best to take over my body, making me go on a rampage and killing them with my own hands. No! It's too risky.' Varth decided to not take off his mask, not until he is sure that there is no way for them to survive.

"Big brother, this time you might end up losing your life! There are a thousand enemies outside, and you are talking about charging straight into their ranks!" John said, stepping up for his sister as well as for himself. He felt afraid that he might end up losing him.
