Chapter 148: Ice King (2)

That was hard to believe… in any case, since she managed to survive until now despite them occurring all that time. Danielle assumed that they were fine. Still, something felt off… In any case, Luke left the mall again. He headed toward the territory of the last species of the enemy. He frowned when he saw them pretty far away from their territory. They were walking around the city like they owned the place. His plans didn't work that well... while that wasn't that surprising, it was more than a little bit annoying.

"Sons of a working woman who tries hard at night to gain money…" Luke said. "They are making use of my actions to take over the city… this pisses me off so much."

The goblins were around level seventy, and they didn't seem affected by the smoke… which wasn't hard to believe since they are monsters. In any case, they began to hunt the other species of monsters that were trying to escape after Luke defeated them. Still, something didn't add up… why they would think that they had a chance of winning against the enemy that defeated their enemies so fast? They probably had a trick up their sleeve... or several ones.

"Ah… it might be because of that," Luke said.

The smoke was starting to dissipate fast, so Luke had to hurry up, or he would lose the chance of surprising the remaining enemies. In any case, after a couple of minutes of jumping the buildings like a mad lad, Luke arrived in the area where the crystal was, and despite the fact that hundreds of goblins were walking around the streets, three hundred more and three troublesome individuals were guarding the crystal very close from it. While Luke still could snipe it with Lightning, avoiding a fight with those Three was impossible. They were that strong…

Luke didn't think that he would have to fight one of those anytime soon, but he decided to look at things from the bright side… if he defeats them, he will get three of those awesome swords. The other gear will probably become useless since Luke plans to bombard them with grenades. There was no point in being greedy and ending up losing his life. Still, he will need to be careful...

"Hopefully, they won't damage the swords… too much," Luke said and then checked the remaining grenades in his backpack.

Artiuno was guarding the others, but Luke still had five of those, and they probably will be enough to deal with those fuckers. Considering that they had an army to lead around, Luke knew that he had to decimate those, no matter what.

"Shalia, can you freeze those three from here?" Luke asked. "You don't need to worry about conserving mana."

"No… from this distance, I can only hold a single one of them for certain for a full second," Shalia replied. "Although my level is higher than them, there is only so much I can do from this distance."

"Speaking of which, what are your levels?" Luke asked.

"I am level 174," Shalia said.

"... I am at level 153," Rina hesitated for a second.

"There is no need to brood over that. She has one year more of experience compared to you," Luke said. "Even Shalia wouldn't make fun of you knowing that. Right, Shalia?"

"... Of course," Shalia said while looking away.

It seemed that Shalia had lost her chance to make fun of Rina. Nevertheless, it wasn't time for that. After dealing with the Mud Dolls, Luke got a few mana potions, so he decided to use them as soon as he destroyed the crystal. Still, considering the distance between him and the targets, at the very beast, he will have room to use Lightning two times… one to destroy the crystal and the next to paralyze the enemy. Adding that to Shalia that will freeze one of them, Luke will have the chance to instantly kill two of the enemies, but the last one… he will have to do it in a personal manner, it would be dangerous, but it also would be a good chance for him to hone his skills.

"Oh, well… I suppose it can't be helped," Luke shrugged. "I would feel weird if I had the perfect plan to destroy all of them without getting closer. On my signal, Shalia."

Shalia nodded, and then Luke aligned the mana potions in front of him. Once the other preparations had been done, Luke used Lightning and then destroyed the crystal. He ignored the notifications of the system and drank the potions that were in front of him. At the same time, the enemies were astonished by the sudden attack. When his mana was full again, he used Lightning, and Shalia froze another target. Both enemies were completely paralyzed, and then Luke threw three grenades at them. The massive explosion made the entire city tremble after creating a crater in the location. The sheer force made the ordinary goblins fly to the distance. Still, then the dust curtain quickly dispersed, and Luke confirmed what he already knew. One of them was alive, and he completely blocked the damage with his sword. That was good and it was bad...

Without a hint of hesitation, Luke allocated all those points into strength, and then he jumped from the building toward the remaining goblin champion while showing vicious eyes.
